If you're looking for a gyro sandwich, keep looking. This place is a sandwich shop with 2 falafel options. Otherwise just burgers and sandwiches. The woman who took our order seemed unenthused. This seems like popular take out spot. I had the ham sandwich and added cheese. It was pretty good. And my husband had the falafel sandwich which was full of veggies and tasty. Some wall decorations and a more welcoming staff might make this place a little more inviting. read more

Way better than any king falafel in the 805!!! Friendly staff, and a soul that never changes.

The hamburgers are tasty but the fries are bland. Need to make them more spicy or maybe even add a little more salt.

The new King Falafel in Guadalupe California has great food and service! I have eaten there twice this week and have nothing but five star feedback for this new owner and his business. Today I came in and purchased their pastrami sandwich which is outstanding! The owner offered jalapeños as an extra for free along with giving me a complementary sample of their new dessert items. Fast and friendly service along with excellent food highly recommend the new king falafel try it for yourself. read more

Great Mom & Pop, hole-in-a-wall, in a hole-in-a-wall, small town Guadalupe, CA right on Hwy #1....in an area busting with Natural Wonders & History that very few know about, nor appreciate! Highlights: 1) Carnivores: Get the Big King Burger loaded with cheese bacon etc... plus fries & you will be happy camper. 2) Vegetarians: Get the Falafel & please your Vege other. (My wife ate the whole thing) 3) For the Frugal: Bargain basement prices, in a clean, almost clinical looking place. 4) History/ Nature buff: The view of the old closed down theater & the little shrine of Guadalupe is cool. Take a drive around town & you can still see some of the old history of this town which used to a Mecca for Japanese Farmers, Laborers, & Buddhists. A) The towering antique town clock down the street is around 100 years old & had to be shipped here. It was placed & bought by the old Jewelry store. B) There is a Buddhist temple on one of the side streets...they do a yearly festival in Santa Maria. The reverend Nakano holds services here, SLO, & I think elsewhere. C) The tiny outdoor shrine next to the now defunct theater, has an image of Mary, and is surround by flowers. D) This town & the nearby Dunes Park was the temporary home to the production of the old silent movie the "Ten Commandments". It had one of the biggest even sets ever made. The set complete with dozens of plaster Sphinxes sleep under the Dunes. There is now a struggling Archeology dig for these relics. I think they got one Sphinx out. Very cool. For further info. use Google to find the website dedicated to the Japanese & for lots of info on the old Hollywood production. Rather than film in Egypt, they used the Guadalupe Dunes (which are a amazing beautiful must see!). E) The nearby Guadalupe Dunes Park is a must see & will amaze you with panoramic vistas that blow away the over-touristed nearby beaches. Just do not stray, nor bother the birds, nor their eggs....the fines can range from a few hundred to 5-50,000 dollars! 5) Shopping Buff: The nearby California Granite Shop has plenty of slabs & remnants to fabricate for you. To sum things up, King Falafel is a great fast food choice in this tiny town as you explore the area's history & nature. read more

The workers don't wear mask. The cashier does but the cooks don't. I was ordering food and I looked towards the back and I couldn't believe my eyes. The cooks weren't wearing a mask. I heard one of them cough and I got worried. They should be taking precautions during the pandemic to keep us and them safe. Also they removed the faucet. During a pandemic!!! read more

Funkiest falafels ever. Was so looking forward to some great falafel sandwiches as well as a great burger only to be disappointed. Falafel balls were soggy and lacked flavor. Cheeseburger was not memorable, actually a burger from McDonalds would have been preferable. Zucchini fries were good. read more

Love this restaurant, we've been eating there for years. Great burgers and the onion rings are so good! The owners are so nice and friendly. read more

This is just good food! We don't go there for atmosphere. The food is great, but the absolute best feature is the people that run King Falafel, Marie, Farid and their son, Pete. The fish sandwich is wonderful. Love the turkey burger too. If you are in Gudalupe give King Falafel a try. read more

The couple that run this place are the sweetest. Whole family loves going in for burgers and fries.

This place knows how to make a double cheeseburger and fries. La Simpatia next door needs to take notes.

Have gone to this place since I was a little kid. To this day the service and the food have remained great quality. The crinkle fries are delicious and my family has tried various other food items and liked all of them. It has been slowly updated as well so it looks nicer. read more

Hands-down my favorite burger place in this small beautiful town. I've been coming here since I was eight years old to eat a hamburger. I was sad to see an ownership change back when I was in my freshman year of high school. But I am glad to see that the original owners are back in control of this wonderful establishment. Every time I order a burger and I come in they always recognize me from when I was a kid. Definitely a place that makes you feel welcome and like you're a part of their family. I recommend the king burger, my favorite thing to get every time I go in! read more

Great Burgers cooked right, good crunchy french fries soft in the middle, and freshly-made falafel. Interesting ambiance, clean restroom, off-street parking. read more

I write this review under the influence of half a bottle of red wine, a few coronas (in which order I forgot), but mostly swayed by an intense craving for a falafel sandwhich. It was 6 months ago, after a good friend's wedding, that the one cab in Santa Maria picked us up and we ask of course "So what's good around here". It was just after 11:00 and it probably didn't sound that coherent, but our cabbie got the point. He takes us to King Falafel, or should I say the gateway to heaven. I don't remember what the place looks like, I don't remember what anything costs, but I do remember the most delicious falafel sandwhich and fried zucchini I've had in my short time on this planet. And the best part? my buddy didn't even eat his sandwhich! (I think he forgot about it...and by forgot I mean he probably passed out) So I had a second one in the morning, and sober falafel was just as great as tipsy falafel. I don't ever intend on being in Santa Maria again, but if, for some fell chance I land back in the area, I know exactly where I'm heading first! read more

King Falafel - King burger w/ bacon & avo(or what's left of it) - Falafel Near Me - Guadalupe, California

Best burgers in Guadalupe and owned by the sweetest family that genuinely cares about their food and service. 10 out of 5 stars !

The best falafel I have eaten since a kiosk in Katamon Vav, Jerusalem. Generous portion, properly seasoned. read more

I'm giving this place five stars because the falafel are just that damn good, and so are the onion rings and fried zucchini. That's all I've eaten there, but it's more than enough to keep me coming back. Great service, too. Very friendly and obviously owner-operated. Update: I love this place. read more

This is actually a really great place for some burgers and fries. I was pleasantly surprised! The staff was super nice, they made the order up quick and it was a fair price. The taste was right what I wanted. Nothing fancy just a tasty burger and fries. Will make this a regular place for me. read more

There's only a few places I've given 5 STARS too. So, there's absolutely no complaints here. GREAT customer service & food!! You can't go wrong! Ask them to grill onions and they'll do it for you! Need to make a "special" order, they'll do it with a smile. We LOVE this place! I'll drive out here just for the service and food versus the Santa Maria location ANY DAY! read more
