edit-new location not this address. Stylish little burger spot from star chef Cat Cora in the Coastal Village area of Santa Barbara. Outdoor patio with plentiful heaters to comply with current Covid restrictions. Numerous unique combinations of ingredients for burgers named for local area landmarks-Funk Zone, Leadbetter, Mission, etc. all served with fries. Things like pineapple salsa, goat cheese, and even sliced bratwurst loaded onto a burger makes the decision even tougher. Also serving chicken and fish sandwiches which can be inserted into any burger listing. Salads available and a nice option on sides such as onion rings, Parmesan truffle fries, sweet potato waffle fries to order a single size or a sharing size.
We opted for two burgers, the Montecito and the Funk Zone which come on a locally sourced brioche bun. The former included glazed mushrooms, grilled onions, arugula, goat cheese, truffle aioli, and a single large onion ring. My wife-a goat cheese lover-pronounced this combination delicious. The goat cheese went better then she even imagined on this burger. She upgraded to the truffle fries with this and they arrived at a less than hot temp unfortunately. My Funk Zone came loaded with sunny side up egg, smoked bacon, roasted tomato, cheddar and bbq sauce. I could tell from the first look it would be messy. The ingredient combo was delicious and was like breakfast in a burger. Maybe better without bbq sauce next time. Loved it anyway. I chose to upgrade to onion rings which while delicious and fresh, were on the skimpy side for the added cost. Be aware. Our biggest disappointment was in the buns. Very nice brioche that just plain fell apart after starting to absorb any moisture from the burger. Wife ended up finishing with knife and fork.
All of the staff we interacted with were really friendly and knowledgeable and seemed to want us to leave happy. I mentioned the bun issue and the female manager seemed to know right off that it was a problem. Hopefully soon to be addressed. Lastly, while our patties were served nicely cooked for us, we were not asked how we wanted them. If you have a preference, make sure to ask. Would definitely return again for a different burger hopefully on a different bun. Recommended.

Excellent burgers! Located on the Mesa in Santa Barbara, this restaraunt has a wide array of different types of burgers. Including chicken burgers veggie burgers and even a burger that has bratwurst and bacon and onion crisps. The prices are moderate but well worth it and each Burger comes with fries. There is indoor and outdoor seating available.

Wonderful burger spot on the Mesa. You can taste the quality ingredients here. My son loved his Kid's Pasta & said "the Fries were the Bomb!" Every burger I have had here was made well & tasted splendid.

This place is great. The Mesa needed a place like this. Food uses high quality, and fresh, ingredients. Prices are on par with other burger places.
Reason for the 4 star; I always give a place two chances before a real review. Both times I've been here, the service has been great. However both times, someone in my group ordered a "funk zone" burger and both times the egg has been completely over cooked. All the other burgers I've personally been there to taste or be a part of the group, have always been perfect.
This place is a definite must try.

This had been my favorite fries in town hands down. Salt & peppered up. Sadly, last two times I ve been they ve mixed newer double fried fries with old fries that were never served dehydrated and caved in. So sad. Will not be going back. I have been a customer from the beginning... and would drive cross town for a fix...

We went Sunday night. Waited 40 mins, wasn't busy. The 3 burgers we ordered were all undercooked. I felt the $40 I spent was going to be something special. I don't plan on returning, could've went to In n Out for better burgers.

This place opened up fairly recently, replacing one of my favorite Mexican joints I'm town.
Mesa burger is clean and very well done inside. The decor and seating layout is good and the place has a good vibe.
We ordered two burgers, fries and drinks.
The burgers were cooked well and the fries were tasty, we expected to be blown away by the quality of the burger but it was just another hamburger, slightly on the expensive side but overall we left full.
If I had to pick Mesa Burger or Kyle's Kitchen, for me Kyle's wins hands down.
