Just landed at Little Bird Kitchen for their burger week $10 special. Fortunately it was right before the after work rush hour. I greeted very friendly at the counter. My food came and one bite into my burger and I immediately moved LBK up my "top burgers for burger week" list. I'm gonna move it up to #5 of my 8 so far. What a difference homemade thousand islands dressing can make. The burger pattie itself was very flavorful. You can't go wrong in the public market. Atmosphere is always top tier here. read more

I found out about this place during burger week. Burger looked delicious and actually their fish sando looks great as well as the fried chicken. After a nice hike this burger and onion rings hit the spot. Tasty smash style burger, a bit greasy but enjoyable. The onion rings are top tier, fries are good. Probably won't get a salad next time but over all glad I came and gave it a go. read more

This place is really expensive. We spent $63 on all of this. The burger and fries were good, but the fries alone were six dollars which was very pricey. The burger was good, I would call it a smash burger as the meat was thin and crispy. I was definitely full afterwards! The Little Bird Sandwich however was falling apart, and the flavor was not impressive. It was $2 to make it spicy, but it looked like they just put some chili oil on it which ended up everywhere but the sandwich. I really enjoyed the milkshake. That was our favorite part although $10 was expensive. We got chocolate and it had a bit of a minty taste which I liked! read more

In the Santa Barbara Public Market. I feel like we happened upon 2 gems here. The Public Market was off the main drag, State St, kind of unassuming from a tourists perspective. We came into the lively market looking for a healthier option. We discovered Little Bird Kitchen, and hubs and I shared a Tuscan Kale Salad with Chicken, that was a great sized portion, with tons of fresh ingredients and ended up being very filling for us two. This is a great find! read more

Oooh the chicken sandwich known as the little bird is massive! Somewhat of an oxymoron. This has two slices of chicken -buttermilk fried chicken breast! Filling a flavorful. There is an option to add spice to the chicken. Located in the SB public market, the service is prompt whether eating at the market or ordering for takeout. I highly recommend order 50/50, which is fries and onion rings and eat with the LBK sauce. Will be returning, to try other items in the menu. read more

Yes, this is fast, casual dining, but do not mistake it for fast food quality. I had the little bird sandwich and it was very, very good. The chicken was moist and tender and crispy without being greasy. There were two very large pieces of chicken breast. I ended up opening the sandwich and having two open face sandwiches. I believe I read that the owner is trained in fine cuisine and it definitely showed with this meal. I look forward to going back and trying the burger. read more

Ate here for the first time recently before an Arlington show. Tucked in the back of the Public Market, things were bustling but not overly crowded. Minimal but diverse selection of salads, hamburgers, fried and grilled chicken and fish sandwiches plus kids meals. We had a cheeseburger, fried chicken sandwich and a couple of orders of fries. You can grab a beer at the bar right next door to have with your meal. Food came out hot and fresh. Great flavor, nice portions and not greasy. Fries were fresh and crisp too. Service was friendly, fast and efficient. Excellent homemade quality and a nice alternative to chain burger/chicken spots! read more

I really liked the corn dog. You can tell they made it from scratch. I think they could have added more honey than the small amount which seaped into the container. My friend told me he would get the corn dog next time after he tasted it. He said the fried chicken sandwich was just ok. It was so hot in the public market today so we sat in front of a fan. The service was very good and the public market is always clean. I think they could have put the air conditioning on to a lower setting today. read more

We saw this new spot during a visit to public market at the beginning of July. Spoke with owner Josh and were excited to have a new spot to try. Little Bird Kitchen popped up on a search for chicken wings. I've tried a lot of wings in town and was curious about their offering. We dove right in and chose the dozen classic wings, with the intense sauce on the side. First bite- wow. Crisp on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. They were so fresh and (temperature) hot, it was hard to contain myself as they cooled. Perfect wings- top three favorites in SB. We also had the kale salad. Standard issue, super fresh kale. Tasty Parmesan crisp. Jazzed about the wings and looking forward to trying their other menu offerings if I can deviate from my wing order. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while. Ordered the chicken sandwich and fries. First, very expensive!! Fries were listed as sea salt fries. They were very, very salty, cooked well, good size. Chicken sandwich was a disappointment. Small bun, chicken too thick to convey the seasonings, under salted. Very bland taste.

Ordered the "Little Bird" fried chicken sandwich and one "LBK Rockys" oyster. The sandwich was good, but fell apart very easily. I also expected a larger sandwich for $15. For the oyster, it just tasted like a mouthful of warm hollandaise sauce and Parmesan cheese.

Always a great experience here. Quick service. Friendly smiles. Food is consistent…read more I would say I miss the Athletic Brewing Copper. Now they serve a citric focused Kolsch from Best Day brewing. Oh well. I like the salads here. Salmon. Prime rib sandwich. And recently we discovered the trout dip. Make sure you use the green sauce. Fries always good to start and those Deviled eggs baby.

Love this place. It scratches the 'Hillstone itch' because…read moreduh, it's the same menu and same vibes. Service is always top notch and the menu never fails to make me happy. Honestly, anything and everything on there is good imho. Wine list selection is one of my favs. Always a good time.

Overall, it's a pretty good spot with reasonable prices. We got the mimosa flight -- totally worth…read moreit and really tasty. My favorite was the passion fruit one. We ordered two burgers: the Bacon Jalapeño Jam (not spicy, which I liked) and the Fresno Fig. One was well done, the other medium rare, and both were cooked correctly. The meat tasted great, and the fries were crispy outside and soft inside -- super fresh and delicious. The restrooms were clean, the atmosphere was cool, and the seats were comfortable. The only downsides: the water tasted bad, and the forks we got were dirty with food still on them. We didn't use them and just ate the burgers with our hands. Would be a great place if not for those two things. Overall, still good. Music is moderate and not loud.

Over all these years, I have avoided the Funky Zone for various silly reasons. But for a while now,…read morewhen I visit my friend's auto repair shop downtown, he always gets Turkey Burgers from here. Always looking for places to have solo lunch, I finally ventured to FZ. There's no sign. I drove by several times and parked, determined to find it. It was next to Lama Dog. I ordered at the window from a very friendly and efficient staff member. I found a nice bar-height communal table inside a super cool restored warehouse with awesome indie music jamming, also surrounded by big screens and sporting events. I ordered a bottled Arnold Palmer from the bar, not realizing the bottled drinks are self-serve. Nevertheless, the bartender kindly got it for me along with a glass of ice. Now here's the best part: the very best Turkey Burger I have ever had--way better than any take-out before. It's topped with garlic aioli, avocado, melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, and crispy skinny onion rings, just perfect. I also ordered the fries with truffle and Parmesan--absolutely delicious, though a bit too flavorful, which overshadowed the turkey burger's flavor. I've tried both sweet and regular potato fries here, and they are excellent too. This place really hits the spot. Can't wait to come back.

Was enough for us to share between two. Creamy and cheesy, but could've used more lobster. Would've expected a better lobster to macaroni ratio with this one. Prices are a little steeper here. It was $25 for the Lobster mac & cheese, which I would've been more open to with a bit more fish in the dish. Plus, when I go to grab a beer, I'm not necessarily wanting to pay $20+ for a burger without fries. That being said, it's still a good spot to grab some food while drinking a beer at Lama Dog.
