Not sure what's happened to this place but it's not as good as it used to be. Great service 5/5 but the food was bad. Elk burger- ordered with avocado and jalapeños and they didn't include either one. The burger was dry and honestly feels like it's frozen and thawed out. Zero seasoning on anything and just a bland and dry burger. The fries did have seasoning but were really stale. I don't think I'm coming back. For how expensive their burgers are you expect quality but this was anything but. read more

Had the opportunity to visit Sylvesters Burgers in Oceano recently and I'm happy to report to you my dear Yelp review Readers that this establishment definitely still "has it going on"! At the register taken my order was Cruz (cool dude w/good customer service skills) and right there with him was Jackie (in my previous review and still there "representing"...thank- you Jackie). I ordered my usual a "Heart Attack Burger" 5/5 (free for my birthday, thank-you very much) and a Hand Dipped Corn Dog 5/5 (it was that good...I would have given this a 6/5 if that was possible, of course dear readers...you know it's not) which was part of the February Rewards program. To get the Corn Dog at "no charge" I also ordered some Deep Fried Mushrooms 5/5 (really yummy and not easy to find at local restaurants). The total bill came out at $33.85 and I paid $7.74...pretty good deal I'd say! The food was delicious, the customer service very accommodating and the "value", crazy good! With that said dear readers...in this Yelper's opinion, on this occasion as in many previous occasions...Sylvesters Burgers in Oceano once again "hit all the marks" and deservedly earns this " highly recommend- best local burger joint" 5 Star review. read more

Amazing food, fresh and made to order. The ambiance is cool, lots of photos of guests from today and years past who have celebrated their birthdays here. The patio is dog friendly and they will sometimes have dog bowls of water out for the pups. They also offer puppy patties to buy for your dogs as well. Sometimes they come out on a toy frisbee and others just a plate. The service is fast and friendly, noting that it takes longer when they are busy as it is with any place you go. The employees are always friendly and helpful. They have a gender neutral bathroom so go wash up before you eat. They also offer a vegan menu from Ziggy's as well as their own Sylvester's menu so there's something for everyone! read more

Sylvester's looks like an old time 80's style burger place. Walk up to the counter to order your food and grab a table inside or outside. It kinda kitchy and quirky, but when you check out the menu--dang. Drop the mic . Sure, you can order every burger just about every way imaginable. But, you can also order buffalo ,(yummy!) elk, turkey , or chicken. Hot dogs your thing? Well, on Sundays they are half off! Which reminds me. Everyday there is a different special. Fries, of all flavor, onion rings-super good, sweet potato fries, just to name a few me a few. Got that "I'm really crazing a REAL burger kinda hangry? I found it for you! Enjoy read more

What restaurant closes at 7pm? Isn't that prime dinner time? Burgers are great if you eat at senior citizen time.

Wife Came across some coupons for some free burgers from here so we got some burgers to go . Me and the wife split the Heart attack - fried egg ,bacon, avocado and Flaming Armadillo cream cheese, roasted jalapenos, mayo. Both were really good . Got some onion rings / Fries . Both were good and crispy. Really big onion rings and good . Service was excellent. Cool little spot and nice inside with outdoor seating as well . Didn't get food photos but all was good . Enjoyed this spot will be back . Enjoy !!!! read more

I've dropped some folks at the Melodrama down the street. Last time I dropped folks there Sylvesters was closing early. Not the case tonight, Parking is a bit tight but I managed. There is a Kiosk as you walk in to order your meal, menus are also up on three boards above the counter, all very easy to read. The kiosk was being used by a family and I didn't have a lot of time to wait. I'm old school and prefer to deal with a human. No problem I ordered at the counter, 1/3 Old Fashion burger and a side of fries. They have three sizes of burger patty 4oz, 5.3oz and the 8oz half pounder. Fries and such accompaniment's are sold separately, great for us dieters. The usual set up for a fill it soda fountain with Coca cola items. Dining was comfortable, outside had plenty of umbrella coveted tables, dog friendly. My burger was out PDQ, and I asked for some ranch dressing and bbq sauce, served in a 2oz soufflé cup. Now I had bbq burger and ranch fries. All was served hot and fast, just the way we like it. Thank you fooguy -martin read more

They are high quality burgers for certain. I make it a point the get here on my birthday for the free one. On the wild side they have options like elk, Turkey, and a grass fed option, lamb would be nice but perhaps a hard sell in our beef oriented society. The milkshakes are off the hook but Vincent Vega would roll over in his grave at the price, it's well over $5. The 11 burger dress ups is all you will ever need, they got it to a science. The service is alright, normal perhaps above normal fast food customer service. The venues are the same across the board adorned with images of patrons on their birthdays eating badass burgers some with funny hats it's a must see. If you are near one and craving a burger definitely do it. read more

I really, really want to like this place. When I lived Los Osos I would go here, but for the price I would honestly rather go to BK or McDonald's. The service at both locations feel like a bunch of dudes who hate their lives (which I get). The burger I got door dashed today was not great. My double cheeseburger was more lettuce than anything. There was some onion piled on there. read more

Sylvester's burgers are juicy and delicious! Great customer service! Try their milkshakes! They are yummy!

After enjoying eating at the original location in Los Osos, we tried the Oceano location, which is closer to home. We were disappointed in several respects. This location just didn't have a clean/welcoming feel. First, the music inside was too loud, and some of the tables were not clean. We went outside to also find tables with food scraps still on them, and a large part of a chicken sandwich on the ground near our table. The food was expensive. The biggest disappointment though was the onion rings. I don't know who enjoys such hard deep fried onion rings prepared like this, maybe the folks who bring those dirty off-road vehicles onto the beach, who knows? The best part of the meal was the side salad. Anyway, it was not a good experience overall, and we won't be coming back. read more

They now went to a stupid kiosk to order like McDonalds. So as I learn their machine, I swear to god the staff was just standing there. So ineffective and unnecessary. We come to small businesses to support them. I won't be back. read more

Bathrooms. I love this place and both location the restrooms are so gross. They say if they restrooms are not clean the kitchen Is probably the same. There has to be someone that deep cleans the walls and floors or hire it out they always smell and it looks like mold and P on the walls. Even a simple change out of the brushes and plunger maybe set up something more clean that doesn't scream look at me. I never cleaned the bathroom. It really just shows a lack of pride for a restaurant that is so popular bathrooms are number one. A good scrub down is really needed in the walls around the toilet and base boards and were the hand drying stations are read more

We love this place but we were so disappointed to find out they changed the onion rings. We brought our older grandkids here and bragged up the onion ring only to find out they changed them to frozen panko crusted instead of the beer battered. Please bring back the great onion rings!!! We're local and come all the time. read more

Best burgers locally. Had the California burger and was cooked perfect. Slightly pink in the middle. I got the garlic fries but it was only ok. I was used with jar garlic and not fresh garlic. But all in all great burgers and great service. read more

My husband just came home without his dinner. He waited 50 minutes- the staff gave his turkey burger to another customer, as he was sitting, waiting. Multiple people came and went. He wasn't offered anything and he just asked for his money back. You just lost LOCAL customers. I guess all you care about are the tourists. read more

Apparently this place has been here for quite some time, so I don't know how I haven't heard about it until recently. But overall it is pretty good. I had a Heart Attack burger and it was amazing! That fried egg on there is sooooo good, though admittedly with that and the sauce, it's pretty messy. The fried zucchini is also great. I wasn't as impressed with much else though. The fries were okay, but nothing to write home about. The garlic fries in particular, the garlic was overdone, as were the onion rings. And the Fruity Pebbles shake sounds like a good idea, but the pebbles themselves end up pretty soggy and having the texture of wet paper. I was with a large group, so we opted for the outdoor seating, and to be perfectly honest the benches were very hard and uncomfortable, and they made my butt hurt, and I wasn't the only one. I had to get up a few times and walk around a bit to relieve the pain. The indoor seating is good though. The service was also just okay. It was a bit on the slow side. And I asked the employee who brought our food to bring out a salt shaker but it never came. There also isn't a whole lot to the ambiance, because most of the walls are covered in pictures of patrons who celebrated birthdays there or tried The Big One challenge there. Which is nice, but could use a little more variation in my opinion. Also the big menu wall is situated in kind of an odd way, where you can't actually see it when you are at the register, you have to step back in order to see it. They do have a small print copy affixed to the counter. Overall, it's not perfect, but that burger and those fried zucchinis are good enough to make it worth it. The Philly cheesesteak looked really good too. I'm going to have to try it the next time I go. A person in my party got it and I was going to ask them if I could have a bite after I had some of my own food, but I looked back and suddenly it was all gone! They wolfed it right down cuz it was so good. read more

I really like this place, i usually get chicken strips. The only bad thing is that they have very greasy food. Which is not the best but I mean whatever floats ur boat. The people are nice and the scenery is pretty good like they have pictures all over the walls of peoples birthday. But it always feel like gross in there somehow like idk how to explain it. Overall good food tho. read more

Prices doubled!? This price RISE is absolutely unreasonable!! I wasn't careful enough when ordering because while it wasn't cheap, Syl didn't used to be overly expensive. I got a 1/3 heart attack burger, a soda and an order of onion rings. This wouldn't have been such a pricy meal in times past, but their prices are absolutely unbelievable now. The burger was $20, onion rings $8!! Soda was $4. We spent $52 and my boyfriend just got a small burger and a single beer. It used to be $11.95 for this same burger . . We live right next to this restaurant and now there's no way we can go there anymore. Fix the prices or change your serving sizes or you're not going to survive. The onion rings were huge. There's no reason you can't offer a $4 version, for example. The burger... it's just unreasonable. That price used to be only $11. Normal people won't be able to eat here now. I'm not getting paid any more now than I did a year ago. No wonder no one was there. We saw only 2 people that didn't work there the entire time we were there. It's very, very sad. I really hope you fix it. I want you to survive. read more

Driving by can make you wonder is it really that good?? That good for us and our fur babies?!? YESSSSSSS it is!!!! You walk in and see so many pictures on the wall of customers loving their meals, celebrating birthdays, and coloring pictures from kids. Very colorful A couple of people in the restaurant told us whatever you ordered you can't go wrong. We ended up ordering the clam chowder in a bread bowl and the desperado burger. And a Doggy Patty for the boys Wow!! This is really delicious. The clam chowder was full of flavor and chunks of good stuff. The Desperado burger had bbq sauce oozing from it, the onion rings were crispy but not too much read more

i live about 3 miles from Sylvesters Ocean and hadn't been there in awhile, so decided to get a burger to go. When I got home, the bottom of the bun and the meat were cold, as in ice cold. Like had been frozen and not defrosted or something. Very disappointing. Service was good though. read more
