Bro J accompanied Ms T and me to Santa Fe bite. Ms T and I had been there about two years ago and did not think it quite lived up to our memories of the old Bobcat Bite. However, I was glad to return and try it again. I went with the 6 oz burger. It was excellent, juicy and perfectly done per my medium rare order. I had green chile and cheese on mine as did Bro J. This was a solid four stars for me. It could be a little better if they grilled salt and pepper in and could get a little more flat top sear on it. Never-the-less I hope we are back to have one again. They served the same marinated style slaw with a sweet and tangy dressing and plenty of celery seed. All in all I felt that they have been getting their stride back after their move. read more

Food was great. Service was awful. Had empty glass of water most of visit. As a matter fact server forgot to bring our drinks. Had to ask someone else and then never had refill. Manager came to ask if we wanted more water , I said yes please ... she walked away and never came back . Two burgers - almost 50 dollars . Husband ordered medium well , they brought him something else Oh and bring cash , if not you pay more read more

I love this place. Never really crowded yet,great service, good food and great coffee they roast in house. The food is good...sometimes better , but the service is excellent. I love their wedge salad. Tender leaves of iceberg lettuce with delicious Housemade blue cheese dressing and smothered in crispy real bacon bits. And they serve Mexican coke. I recommend the Buffalo Burger. Really good. The room is large and the tables are well spaced. read more

Solid 4 a star burger. Great place to go when that burger jones grabs you! My only concern was the food handlers and server assistants were wearing these industrial blue latex gloves. Here's the problem. Although it's an attempt to present. "Cleaner" perception of handling food etc, it's not. What happens is that the gloves get dirty and they end up touching multiple things like, clearing a table by reaching finger first into a used water glass then seconds later that same person is resetting the table. Did they change gloves?? Nope. That's concerning... Outside of that...it you maintain the mantra "parts per million - parts per million" I guess one will survive. ;) read more

So disappointing compared to the old location. My biggest complaint is that they are inconsistent with how the burgers are cooked. If I order medium I don't want it raw. I've never gotten a burger there that was cooked to my order. It's unfortunate because I really wanted to like it after they moved but after several attempts gave up. It's not just that if I order a medium burger that it comes out raw. Sometimes they're burnt. And never the way I've ordered it. As I said. Very inconsistent. I also find the green chiles are not hot like they used to be. I'm sure they've done that Intentionally to appease the tourists. Anyway. That's a mistake. Also the burgers themselves don't have much flavor. There are several places in town that have better gccbs. read more

Upon hearing great things about Santa Fe Bite, I made my way over to the establishment with my young child. Immediately upon entering the restaurant I observed a sign posted at the hostess station which communicated something to the effect of, prices on the menu only available to patrons paying with cash. As an experienced patron of many dine-in restaurants, I've never observed any menu printed to reflect prices respective exclusively to cash purchases, unless of course I'm visiting a food truck or an establishment which only accepts cash. My curiosity, to which I am entitled as a patron of the restaurant, prompted me to inquire about pricing on the menu. (It is imperative that I share, my finances bare no relevance to my question regarding menu prices, however, the principle of the matter was the basis of my inquiry.) In good spirits, I mentioned to the hostess that it was my first time visiting the restaurant and inquired about menu prices regarding cash purchases vs. debit/credit card purchases. My inquiry included asking if cash vs. card prices were printed on the menu. The hostess, a dark haired, older woman with glasses, was extremely cold, and rude, unappreciative of my question. The hostess told me that card prices were not printed on the menu. I asked the hostess what the difference in price might be, to which she responded that she wasn't sure and thought it might be something like 2%. My child and I decided to dine in, and we're excited about the experience, looking forward to a juicy burger. The hostess walked us to a table literally threw a pack of crayons at my child, mentioned the soup of the day, which was something I have never heard of. I communicated to the hostess a question regarding what the soup of the day was, and with her back half turned to me she mentioned Mexican meatballs in an extremely rude and dismissive fashion, and stormed off. Never in my life have I been treated so coldly, rudely, and unwelcome by any hostess in all of Santa Fe, or in all of my life for that matter. After sitting down for a few minutes, I thought to myself, do my child and I really deserve to be treated this way? I answered myself, and looked at my child. I did not want my child to experience the treatment we endured by the hostess and her strong negative energy. My child and I got up and walked out of the restaurant. The disappointment I felt that Tuesday evening was immeasurable. Santa Fe is an amazing city with countless hostess/servers who are down to Earth, hospitable, and above all else, warm, kind, and welcoming; the polar opposite of what the hostess at Santa Fe Bite delivered during our visit. I felt inclined to contact a manager and comment on the treatment my child and I endured. The manager was very kind and encouraged me to visit the restaurant on any day of the week but a Tuesday, when the hostess we were abused by typically works. None of us on this planet are exempt from bad days, nor are we exempt from going through challenges in life. However, it is critical that even on our worst days, if we work in the service industry, we must strive to deliver kindness, a welcoming demeanor, professionalism, and positive energy. My experience at Santa Fe Bite was far from what I expected, and has left a bitter taste in my mouth. The likelihood of me visiting the restaurant anytime soon is slim to none. Perhaps the hostess is working a part-time job once a week, and may be going through something in her personal life, but that is not something that anyone visiting Santa Fe Bite should lay victim to. I've heard the food is good, but the service and ambiance witnessed by my child and I felt like modern day racism. Santa Fe Bite owners, PLEASE consider a hospitality and customer service training for your staff, specifically the hostess with the glasses who works on Tuesday nights, and encourage the importance of positive vibrations and positive energy. Kindness matters. read more

Excellent service and the food taste amazing. We went there two days in a row because we love the daily specials and the carrot cake was delicious. read more

So glad to rediscover this eatery! Nice, plentiful choices made to order. Always friendly, always prompt and attentive to needs of the diner. Don't miss the fabulous desserts! read more

Carnitas Taco plate: 2 well filled tacos, corn tortilla is slightly dried so it doesn't fall apart. Pork was juicy and the two Salas really enhanced the flavor. Rice was just steamed white rice with corn but if you pour the spicy charo beans over it it was great. Beans has a thick broth and contained beans (dahhh), chicarones, hotdog, onion slivers and bacon. So worth a second trip. read more

Yes, it isn't the original bobcat bite...when you traveled on Old Las Vegas Hwy, you were probably drooling all the way to the place. Coming here to get a birthday burger, well it was my birthday when we came it was very open, much better than bobcat and much less of a wait. You hear of the myth that was bobcat bite and you show it through the burger. The Green Chile burger is what they tell you: Spicy, cheesy, juicy and satisfying. Come here if you want one of the best burgers you will have in your lifetime and stay for some brews with friends. read more

Super obvious -- yet critically important -- note about this burger: Devour this one for the beef. Yeah yeah, I know, isn't that the whole point of a green chile bacon cheeseburger? Alas, no. Usually the beef is the lesser of the whole shebang, honestly. And it speaks to the majesty of chile, how our Little Local Pepper That Could manages to so enhance an American culinary staple. When done right, a burger in New Mexico is downright better than any burger you'll find around in the U.S.A. Generally speaking, around here, the patty is simply the blah canvas; when chile and cheese and whatever fixins you throw on top get smooshing together, you'll care less about the cow, because the entire experience is this fiery, drippy happy happy joy joy. Santa Fe Bite takes the opposite approach. The chile, while plenty spicy, is modestly portioned out, and the downer choice on the cheese -- I think it was Monterey Jack, not sure, pretty boring -- didn't slip or slide, it just held. The majesty of this burger was the ten ounces of beef that remained ten ounces after cooking. You know how that goes? Fats and juices drain from the beef and you end up with a thin dry wanna-be burger? Not here. This rounder was massive, the flavor (boneless chuck and sirloin) was outstanding, plenty of juice ooze drained into the bottom bun, I needed to breathe heavily between bites, and I was pretty much done with food for the rest of the day -- after an early lunch. Happy Father's Day to me, I checked this place off my list of Must Try NM burgers, and you should, too. Quick note: Santa Fe prices, about $15 for this masterpiece. Pro tip: The house-baked potato chips go especially well with a side of ranch. read more

Annoyed, first thing, better have yr full party no matter how lousy the parking is, which it is. Once seated, the restaurant was 1/2 full, and the lobby clogged with parties trying to park. Then, No heat on a day that's barely 30deg. Seriously? Servers are very friendly and responsive While they messed up messed up our drink order, it was remedied quickly. Ordered a green Chile cheese burger med rare... And it came quickly just as ordered. Phew. It was light on the Chile, but the meat was very good. Roll was fresh. Over all, less 2 stars for unwelcoming check in, 1 for no heat read more

Everything we ate here was top notch and so tasty service matched food quality. Won't be back here soon enough!!

2nd visit at new location. 1st time good burger, ok service, but heat was broken and it was unpleasant. 2nd time it was not busy. Server ignored us, chili is loose and fatty. Got replaced with green chile burger which was ok. Server never checked us or refilled my soda. I probably won't return. Bobcat Bite was a fun place with great burgers and a limited menu. This incarnation is not a success. read more

Well, I decided to eat here because I saw a survey that said one of the best places to have a burger in New Mexico. Since the restaurant is right up the street from my house, I figured I'd swing in and have a burger and a beer. Honestly, a little disappointing. Service was very slow and not overly nice.. so the burger itself was amazing cooked perfect fixings were super fresh. However, the role was a little bit over toasted so a little hard. The burgers usually come with homemade chips, which were amazing but I was looking for something different and ordered onion rings, honestly, quite expensive and terrible.. I'm willing to give you another shot, but I definitely will not be ordering onion rings again, and hopefully the bun isn't over toast next time. read more

Heard this place was great,but I wouldn't know. I went in for lunch and was completely ignored. The couple in front of me sat and got attended to. I sat down and the server was checking people for dessert right next to me. I asked if he was taking orders and he walked away as did I. read more

This was our first meal in Santa Fe on a mother/daughter spa weekend. We came for the legendary burgers and left satisfied and happy. We both had the green chile bacon cheeseburger (comes in 6 or 10 oz.--we stuck with the smaller portion), served with chips. Truly, it was one of the best burgers I've had. Cooked to the requested temperature and topped with the perfect combination of chile, cheese and bacon, it lived up to its hype. The service was what you expect in a divey diner (no frills, in a hurry), but friendly and efficient. The place was packed the whole time we were there and it was easy to see why. read more

This burger joint was great! We were fixin' for some classic burgers during our trip to Santa Fe and this place delivered! My partner in crime ordered the Green Chile cheeseburger (as you do in a Santa Fe). I ordered a patty melt with grilled onions and Swiss on rye - SO Good! While not the classic Santa Fe cuisine you might think of, when you have a hankering for burgers you gotta check it out! read more

Got the green chili burger togo. Order was ready on time/when I got there and only about 15 minutes after I called. Server or hostess who ran my card was polite and helped me very soon after walking in the door. Burger was really delicious but chip flavor was a little lack luster. Maybe even more since they were in the same container as the super juicy burger and got a bit soggy. Bun was separated out though so it was fresh for me to assemble when I was ready. I would get a different side next time but overall pretty yummy and what I expected from seeing other reviews. read more

Our go-to place for burgers (offers beef and Buffalo), fried chicken (in Sunday's only) and milkshakes. The burgers come with chips so ask for fries if that's what you want. Homemade/scratch food that tastes like home. :) Save room for desert! read more

I ate here for the first (and last) time tonight. Made the mistake ordering chicken enchiladas w. rice and beans. The rice was dry white rice, the beans were dry black beans w. no sign of any sauce to make them more moist and the enchilades themselves were pretty tasteless and the wrapping looked and tasted like something you could buy in the supermarket. Very disappointing. read more

The last time I ate there the service was incredibly awful. I was completely ignored until I got drastically sick from the fried chicken. I let one of the staff know I felt sick. I was nauseous and quickly walked outside getting ready to barf as the bathroom did not seem appealing. Finally my waiter took an interest in me as he assumed I was leaving to avoid the bill. I had to explain to him that I was feeling queasy from the food. Probably won't be back. read more

Had the green chile cheeseburger. Really liked the burger as it was cooked medium to my liking. At 10oz, it's a thick, hearty and tasty burger. The green chiles have just the right amount of spice, not too hot. Had the side of fries with the burger instead of chips. They were the only downside of the meal. Average fries, nothing to write home about. read more

Food always good, friendly staff nice atmosphere. I like that they have a gluten free bun to offer for my green chile cheeseburger.

This place is so tasty with great service!Definitely one of the top five burgers I've ever eaten. We had the green chili Cheeseburgers, chili fries Christmas style and a steak sandwich. All were superb. The chili fries were amazing. The green and red sauces paired well and the fries were perfect. If I had to choose a sauce the green was better than the red but both were great with the perfect amount of spiciness. The Steak sandwich was juicy with a perfect bun. The highlight of course were the green chili cheeseburgers. We had 8 people in our group and everyone loved them. I opted for a medium cooked 10 oz patty and it was cooked to perfection.The burgers were big, juicy and flavorful and the green chili and white cheese on top were delicious with the perfect amount of spiciness. Even the chips and fries that came with the burgers were good. I must warn though prices are high for what is essentialy a burger stand. A greenchili Cheeseburger costs $13 with a side of chips or $1 more if you sub french fries. You get what you pay for and if you dont mind the cost the burgers are quite worthy. I will definitely be returning next time we're passing through Santa Fe. read more

We've had good food at this restaurant before at their old location. We were in Santa Fe today, so we tried them on Saint Michaels Drive. They had a little line for getting on a list to be seated, but the hostess seemed to be frazzled and it was slow going. We finally left without eating there, but will be back and give it another try. read more

Today we decided to have lunch at Santa Fe bite. I am so glad we did. The green chili cheeseburger was fantastic. The meat was quality and the bun was the best I ever had. The potato chip fries were very very tasty. Magic potatoes! The tables were socially distanced and the service was better than great. They were very welcoming, polite, and made us feel safe. We will be regulars!!! Thank you John and staff. read more

A Burger should be 3 things......Flavorful, juicy & unforgettable and Santa Fe Bite was definitely Forgettable. No taste whatsoever, they use good buns that's about it, I believe there's a lot of hype and those who mention that they have a good burger need there taste buds reevaluated. Great friendly customer service, although our waitress did ask us what we thought about the Burger and we told her it lacked flavor and she said, ohhhh our Chefs don't always make the flavor the same............huh...you mean you don't have consistency in putting in flavors of love into your burger regularly. Sorry Santa Fe Bite........ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!!! read more

Cheerful, prompt service on takeout. We had BLT & 6 0z burger. Really delicious. Great tomatoes on the sandwiches -I was impressed!!

After having a horrible experience at Shake Foundation yesterday my wife and I had to wash the bad taste out of our mouths by trying Santa Fe Bite. This restaurant did not disappoint!!! Our server Fernando was not only funny, informative and kind but he was 100% on top of his game! He offered my wife and I a free shake after seeing how pregnant she is as well our this being our first one here. Amazing customer service!!! Our Green chile burgers were HUGE, cooked to order and packed with flavor! The homemade chips at SF Bite reminded me of chips at a state fair but way better. You'll pay a couple bucks more here but it is totally worth it!!! We have found our burger home in Santa Fe. read more

Very disappointing! Ordered the special bison burger. First time the outside was burned and overcooked on the inside. They brought a new one, this time the outside was still burned, then raw on the inside. The chips were flavorless. The manager took half off the burger, but never came back to the table after the failed second attempt. The prices are too high for the quality of food served. My daughter liked her cheese burger, but there are definitely better burger spots in town. read more

Love at first Bite. Yes, it really went that way. There's a beginning to this story but there is no end. The love for Santa Fe Bite simply overflows. Confined in a hotel space, parking is a bit difficult. When arriving, there may be a wait as hungry patrons clamor to put their name down, waiting for their calling to eat. We ordered the Green Chile Cheeseburger. 10 ounces of perfection, that cannot be duplicated. Chuck and sirloin pattied into the juiciest bite I've had around the 505. Fact. Their potato chips were good too! Considering how large the burgers were, we're glad we stuck with that versus a huge plate of fries. Even the side Ranch was good. Insane. Service here was great! Plenty of replenished drinks, smiles, and a nice afternoon in Santa Fe. Couldn't ask for more (okay, well, maybe another burger sometime). read more

Santa Fe Bite's Green Chile Cheeseburger was on the list of Best Burgers in Every State by Thrillist. After seeing it on the list I had to try it and see for myself. Food: I ordered the Green Chile Cheeseburger (obviously!) and it did not disappoint. It really is worthy of the title of Best Burger In The State. I am a wimp when it comes to spicy food so it was a bit too spicy for me, but still wildly delicious. The meat patty was well crafted and very flavorful. I ordered the sweet potato fries instead of the home cut chips and they were well made fries... not the best I've ever had but still very good. Service: The service was friendly, but seemed a little understaffed. Atmosphere: The atmosphere was fun and we enjoyed our burgers on the large outside patio. It was obvious that this was a locals favorite spot, which as a tourist made me feel like I had found a great local gem. Location: Santa Fe Bite is located a few minutes away from the center of town. If you are visiting you can stop for a bite to eat and then explore Loretto Chapel's miraculous staircase next door. Overall: I give this a solid 4. Great burger and fun local spot. read more
