Santa Fe Bite

Best Burger This place has Fantastic Burgers! Meat is nice and juicy, great topping choices. Try the Green Chili Cheeseburger. It’s Great! Fresh hot and crispy Onion rings. They have great pie selections too. This place is not to be missed!

Wow, what a wonderful lunch we had. They started us off with house chips and salsa. We ordered a bowl of texas chili and a bowl of posole both were very tasty. The service was totally awesome as well. We highly recommend eating here as the rest of the menu looks as appetizing as what we ate.

Went to have brunch and left without eating one of the 3 meals that were ordered because I never got one of the orders. We waited for 30 minutes for our drinks and food. When the food came out, one of the 3 meals wasn’t what we ordered and the guy with spiky hair who brings out the food basically assumed that I was lying and stated “well thats not what it shows here” and the other 2 plates of food were cold to the touch so obviously that food had been left just sitting there waiting to be brought out. He left the wrong plate at our table and didn’t care to bring the correct order. Another 20 minutes go by before the waitress with the short curly hair and glasses comes back to our table. I told her we were still waiting for part of the order to come out in which she said “I will have right out”. Another 25-30 minutes go by when I finally wave her down and let her know that we would like our check so we can just leave. She never apologized or even tried to make it right and also acknowledged that she knew my plate was never brought out. I asked her to take the plate that I never got off from the check but she said no that I had to pay for it because “they were working on it”. She slammed the check on the table and as soon as she saw that I put NO TIP on the card reader she stormed off. $80 for literally nothing but 2 plates (a cold breakfast burrito and cold chicken that my daughter couldn’t eat) and for my order that I never got. This whole time all the other customers who arrived after we did were getting their food without having to wait for long at all and were being tended to and were receiving better treatment than what we were. We go there frequently and never had an issue, service was always good, we always got our food fairly quick and basically always had a good experience and would always make sure to leave no less then $20 as a tip. After leaving I called and asked to speak to a manager. I was asked what it was in regards to and when I said I had a complaint the girl who answered the phone said that the manager wasn’t available to accept my phone call. I said I would gladly wait on hold until the manager was available and again the girl said “you can talk to me but the manager won’t be talking to you”. I started telling her what had happened and before I could finish she stated “I know the people who work here and they would never do that and I think what you’re telling me is false” and she hung up on me. DO BETTER!!! Why was my family singled out and treated like trash??? Was it because our skin color was obviously different from everyone else’s who was dining there??? Did we look like we had no money??? Really, what was the real reason??? We have always treated servers at any restaurant that we go to with so much respect because we have been there, done that and know it’s not an easy job so what’s the reason for the unfair treatment that we got today??? I hope nobody who goes there will be treated as badly as we were today. It’s shameful and it makes everyone who works there look bad including management and higher. Again, DO BETTER and consider providing customer service training to the staff, they clearly need it badly…

Stopped in for a little lunch with my sister and niece. The atmosphere is nice and relaxing, and the service was good. I had the carnitas tacos which were tasty with their roasted salsa. My niece's burger tastes like freshly grilled meat over an open flame, yummy. My sister's BLT was loaded. I understand it's Santa Fe, but it is a bit pricey compared to other places. Expect about $15 - $20 per entree, with significant bumps with any additions and substitutions. Probably won't be back for a good while.

I did not go in so I cant rate everything, but I did order a couple burgers They were pretty good could use a little more seasoning as they are bigger burgers. (Atleadt some s&p) They packed my bun and toppings separately tho and in paper bags which was kinda strange to me. (Like sliced tomatoes and all that in a bag) I understand buns can fall apart and i did get a gluten free bun, but they also packed the non gluten one like that.. Good looking out but im not sure its that helpful considering my burger still fell apart just from the size and toppings . I think I prefer all the topping on the burger or with it and its ok if the bun is separate, this just complicates things if ur in the car or dont have many napkins.. I ended up eating the last of it with a fork anyways... Good burgers are usually messy anyway. Will have to go in and try some more stuff & check the place out. They have gluten free options, unsure about their fryer and if its shared. Also I'm unsure what they mean by home fries on the menu online... I was not sure if they had battered fries but it appears they use regular potatoes as their French fries (The best way to do it really) , kinda wish they were cooked a lil longer but they were also good. The red chile they had was good, didnt try the green but I'm a rojo person anyhow. It looks like they have vegetarian options, will explore them in the future Their slaw was not what I was expecting, it was a good slaw but under seasoned but also sort of a lightly pickled thing going on, very wet but it was kind of a refreshing thing rather than a creamy coleslaw, would have likes a larger portion (if its replacing fries there aught to be more of it)

Santa Fe Bite is hands-down my favorite spot in Santa Fe. The burger was absolutely amazing – juicy, flavorful, and easily the best burger I’ve had in town. The apple pie with ice cream was perfect too: warm, comforting, and the ideal finish to the meal. On top of the great food, the service was excellent – friendly, attentive, and fast without feeling rushed. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic burger and dessert in Santa Fe

The moment you walk into this place, there is a feeling like you are at home. Maybe because of all the plants and I'm such a plant parent. Other than that very spacious friendly and delicious food. Mind you this was a first for me and a couple of my friends. This lovely place was introduced by some good friends of ours and we went together and had a fun time. This will definitely be our go to when visiting Santa Fe and it's a must.

The food and service have always been good but the prices have gotten out of hand. $20 for a green chile cheese burger? $25 for a chicken club sandwich? $9 for a milk shake? Disappointed…

Not a single complaint service, food and atmosphere were supurb! Had thier 10 oz green chile cheeseburger which set a new bar for delcious My partner had their fried chicken and veggies. Equally a home run.

I had another great lunch at Santa Fe Bite. I always order the 10 oz burger, and my girlfriend who came with me ordered the patty melt. They were both delicious! They use premium beef and it's always cooked to perfection and delicious. They serve it on a brioche bun which is delicious. I also got the homemade chips. Yummy! The service was phenomenal. Our server was Ashley, and she was very attentive. We never had to ask for refills on our drinks or anything like that. The ambiance is trendy and it's a good location because it's in a strip mall so there's plenty of parking. It's not right in the plaza like most restaurants in Santa Fe, which can be challenging with the parking situation. If you haven't tried Santa Fe Bite yet, you need to go. You will not be disappointed.

I really like Santa Fe Bite but this time I was very disappointed. Always loved their hamburgers but this time I was surprised. I always order a med rare and it's always perfect. This time I got a well done burger that I had to send back. Being with a group of friends who all got their meal, I didn't want to take a chance and perhaps get the same order. So I left with a chicken sandwich. Took it home only to find the chicken was dry. Think I will wait a while before I return.

We just discovered this gem. LOVE the Chopped Veggie salad (we add chicken). We keep coming back for that. The staff has never failed to be welcoming and helpful. :) The fish & chips special looks amazing & not greasy -- but I had my tastebuds set on a burger today, so another time! I took off a star because I think, for its location, it's expensive (example...burgers: $12.50 for 6oz to $27 for 15oz) BUT I will say it's ALL TASTY! And worth the occasional splurge. They seem to have a loyal local following, which says a LOT for consistency. ;)

This spot was recommended by a friend. We were seated quickly. The food camp out hot and perfectly cooked to order, the homemade chips were a pleasant surprise. If you are wanting a good juicy burger this is your place. Very casual environment

These types of restaurants are far and few between. The ambience and lighting were welcoming. Staff were extremely friendly and the owner of this restaurant went around the customers tables to check in on them. The food: the meat was extremely fresh tasting. We had the posole and it was very flavorful. Fries and chips were very tasty. On to the dessert- homemade and amazing. So so good!! The banana cream pie was to die for. Will be coming back!!

STILL the famous Bobcat Bite Burger I've been eating the amazing Bobcat Bite Green Chile Cheeseburgers for 31 years; the location from the older (and quite eclectic) location off the highway didn't change these great burgers. I dined last night with 12 from the Santa Fe Foodies, as I have for decades. I ordered the amazing GCC (Green Chile Cheeseburger) med rare, and it was as good as it was three decades ago. I think 10 people at our party ordered this, and everyone seemed to agree it's a classic. My wife had a Patty Melt, which was outstanding! The service by Ashley was fantastic; a plus was that we got our drinks ordered by the previous owner, Bonnie. It was so lovely to see her smiling face; it brought back many memories. All the food came out at once and was perfect. Unlike the old days, Santa Fe Bite serves some yummy desserts, too (in the old days, lollipops were the only offering; they wanted you out so they could serve more burgers in what was a tiny restaurant). Today, in the new location, it's huge compared to an outside setting in nice weather. Carrot Cake and Lemon Curd cake are very good. There is a reason Bobcat Bite is featured in the famous "Hamburger Nation" film and Food Networks #1 best Ever GCCB, don't let the newer name confuse you: this IS the Bobcat Bite.

Best green chili & Bacon Burger with Homemade Chipotle Sauce! Cant beat it anywhere!!!

I drove by it as it's one of the first places in the strip mall, then walked by it, and only after I saw a hand full of people (locals) coming out did I even know it was a restaurant. Inside is nicely decorated and clean. It was busy and yet I was promptly greeted and being alone I sat at the bar. (No screaming kids, which is always nice) The wait staff was great. It was about 1 pm so late lunch hour, and everyone was great. If they weren't waiting on someone they were busy tidying up. The 10 ounce chile cheeseburger is huge, and the homemade bun was wonderful. Best one (out of 5) I've had around here yet. I'll come back for sure.

Simple, really good food. The burgers are the best in town; big and juicy! The Chicken sandwich is terrific, especially when loaded with green chile. Don't expect fancy, but you'll get your money's worth and you won't go hungry after eating here, the staff is pleasant and helpful, especially Diane. The place is where you can go when you're really hungry but you just want to go in your jeans and enjoy a burger without all the pretense of so many of the local restaurants. The restrooms are clean and have chalkboards where you can leave your thoughts...good or bad. Mine were good!

If I could give a zero I would. We accidentally walked in the wrong door and were greeted with disdain and rudeness. The rude woman that greeted us informed us that "most people don't read anymore" that's why we did not see the sign that was behind the wide open door to the restaurant. Thank God we did not attempt to try the food!!! Please don't accept rudeness, no matter how good the food is.

The food was great. I had a burger and it was really juicy and tasty. the ambiance is just fine.

Wonderfully prepared burgers my wife and I had. We both have experience in food service and the chef prepared our medium and medium rare burgers to perfection. Makes me look forward to getting their steak.

Good green chili burgers and good service. Easy to relax in clean environment All staff was friendly.

Delicious hamburgers and local beer! Service was friendly and fast, we travel with a dog and they were very accommodating and friendly to our furry baby! Highly recommend this place

Great service and food was awesome . Love all the decor and staff were friendly and attentive. great stop if your in santa fe

Food was just okay, like diner or luncheonette stuff. Most of it was hot but a couple of our dishes were not. The big problem here is the staff. They are rude and confrontational. Forget in a half full dining room that our server walked past us several times without ever acknowledging we were there let alone taking our order or that when she finally did come over 20 minutes later, she couldn't be bothered to look at anyone while we asked for what we wanted. (I guess our being there was an inconvenience to her). But there is a sign at the front counter that says there is a surcharge for not paying cash. Fine. What is it? Not one person could tell us. One person said it's on the menu but she couldn't find it after several minutes of looking and she was supposedly the one who wrote the menu. Everyone was bordering on obnoxious that we didn't just accept this seemingly arbitrary fee and like it. So there's this unknowable extra fee for using a card. Turns out on the bill it was 20% Never. Again. Santa Fe Bite can go right ahead and bite me. They've gotten all the $$$ they'll get out of me.

I really like this restaurant. We've eaten in the restaurant and taken takeout. It's always good. I had fish and chips on Friday and it was very good. The burgers are great although rather expensive but worth it.

All went well! Taste fantastic cooked to perfection the burger came with all the ingredients and the house chips are superb! Had to have a piece of pie for desert (was kind of a millionaire cake) made in house! What a treat! Ate the whole thing in my car, made it even more special!

A busy place on a Saturday still made room to greet me cordially, ask about seating preference, and get a libation going quickly after arrival. Lots of local regulars at lunch, breakfast served until 8 pm, and a mixed New Mexican/Anglo comfort food menu plus wine and beer means what's not to like?

Everything was amazing with the exception of our rude waitress. The other people working at the restaurant were so nice. I know everyone has a bad day, but I don't think this was a one off for her. Go for the food and pie, oh my!!

We went for brunch and the service was super prompt + the waitress was very kind. The chilaquiles were actually the best I've had since they were fried to perfection. I got them Christmas and the green chile was particularly awesome. I'll definitely come back again when I'm in town.

This was the rare (and I mean exceedingly rare) restaurant that we actually visited twice while we were in Santa Fe. The reason: their green chile cheeseburger is pretty much as good as everyone says it is. Definitely in a death match with about two other places for the title. We also had a number of their other entrees (pork chop, BLT, steak sandwich, etc.) at this casual, pleasant restaurant. Everything else was pretty good as well, if not special. Their cakes/pies- not our thing. And missed out on their shakes which we heard a lot about. Oh well, next time.

On vacation in town and was looking for an easy kid friendly meal from a local place. Loved the chicken tacos with rice & beans. Rice was a bit plain but with their salsa it was . My kiddos burgers were scarfed down fast because they were delicious! Wait staff was great! Friendly & and fast. Highly recommend!

Fast service. Went for the veggie burger and it didn't disappoint! So good! Recommend!

It's an amazing place. Lots of care has been put into the aesthetics. All the food is great EXCEPT for the steak. It is the most expensive thing on the menu, but its a five dollar steak at a 30 dollar price. Horrible cut of meat, thin and tough... almost too tough to eat. But everything else is perfect and I'll be going back over and over, but I will not order the steak until they actually get a decent thicker cut and quality meat. I know it is very difficult to run a restaurant. Your overhead is ridiculous and you have to cut as many corners as possible. My family owns a couple of restaurants in Dublin, Ireland - and cutting quality to make ends meet is a great temptation. But reputation and word of mouth is far more important. Every employee must bring their "A" game and at least pretend to love the customer. Take the time to do the extra research and get the best quality foods that you can - especially with high-dollar items like steak. Follow the reviews carefully and respond to each one and take notes, have meetings with staff regularly to discuss improvements. Doing these things and acting on them will move you from a restaurant with a decent or good reputation for this or that - into LEGEND status - if you are patient and determined!

Hadn't been to Santa Fe Bite in a while so decided to stop there for a green chili cheeseburger the other night. They truly do serve up one of the best green chili cheeseburgers I've ever eaten, and our burgers on this visit did not disappoint. My dining partner ordered the smaller burger with cheese. While she enjoyed the burger, after she took a few bites she realized there was no cheese. She also ordered sweet potato fries which came out barely warm, limp, and had a bit of a burnt taste to them. While we both enjoyed our burgers, sometimes the little details can make an enjoyable dining experience just "okay". When it came time to pay, I noticed that, like other restaurants in the Santa Fe area, Santa Fe Bite has added on an up-charge for credit card payments. In a world where plastic is becoming the norm as a method of payment, this might seem like a good idea for the restaurant owner, but is a short-sighted scheme in my opinion. I've talked to servers in restaurants that add on this cost, and servers typically feel that customers counter the added cost by skimping on tips. I don't eat out as often as I used to because dining costs have escalated so much in recent years, and in light of that, I've opted to avoid dining at establishments that penalize me for card payments.

Friends said this was the best green chili cheeseburger in town. It was good. But missing that "wow" factor for me. Onion rings were exceptional. Fried sweet potatoes delicious. The chips that accompany every burger are among the best house made chips around. Substantial bun holds up to the meat. Note: There are two options a 10 ounce burger and a 6 ounce burger. That is not clear on the menu -- be sure to ask if you prefer a smaller but still significant meat portion.

Well now, when I ordered my meal, I asked for a double meat burger. The server looked at me with an odd look. When the food came, the burger was huge. I ate it with a knife and fork. It was actually really good. The ambiance was pretty interesting.

Had a good Green Chile Cheeseburger and a Veggie Burger here. My only complaint is that I felt that the taste of the green chile could have been stronger. The Veggie Burger, made from beets, was surprisingly delicious, and even though I am not a fan of beets, I really didn't detect a strong taste. The service was quick, and the ambiance had a coffee shop vibe.

We were so impressed the first night we ate here that we went back for a the next night, and it was amazing as well! We ordered the fish & chips on Friday night. The cod was fried perfectly, crispy w/o being greasy. Loads of fries and a serving of Cole slaw, which was so different from the regular mayo based slaw. It was a bit sweet & tart and flavorful. We also took a piece of strawberry cake to go to eat later. But we were so full we didn't eat it til the next day and it was still so moist and fresh it seemed like just baked. The 2nd night we ordered green chile cheese burgers, served w homemade potato chips. The regular patty is a 10 oz, but we opted for a 6oz instead, and w the chips, and the fresh toppings of lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, it was more than enough. We order green chile cheese burgers at every restaurant on every trip we make to SF bc we can't get good green chile in Texas, so we've eaten many. These were by far the juiciest, most flavorful ones we've had in SF. Our only regret here was not staying in SF another night so we could try more of their entrees. Next time, though, I'm coming back & saving room for another homemade dessert! Service was excellent and both times our servers were friendly & efficient. Thanks for two great experiences!

Terrible! Very bland burger and French Fries.... I asked for sautéd onions and got a slice of onion instead. The fries tasted like cardboard.... I can think of a half dozen other places that I'd recommend instead of SF Bite..... Disappointing.

When was the last time you had a real "homemade" biscuit? Not those frozen things most places serve, but a fluffy biscuit that is dense and moist in the middle...with sausage green Chile gravy...homemade? And crispy hash browns and 2 eggs. Order the gravy on the side so you can slather 1 of the 2 biscuits with butter and jam and wash it down with house roasted coffee. Then pour that gravy on the eggs and hash browns and mop with the 2nd biscuit. Anything better than that? And if you still have room (or don't) there is a whole list of made pies, cakes and cookies! Of course, if you're not into breakfast for whatever reason, you can always get their seriously famous green Chile cheeseburger...with fries. Service and atmosphere is mucho friendly, food is top quality. This is a Santa Fe gem a little off the beaten path...known mostly by the locals. ..

We were looking for someplace locals would go to, and heard great things about Santa Fe Bite. We had a great meal. My mom and I split the chicken club and cheesy fries - plenty for both of us and delicious. The avocado was so flavorful, with the little kick of pepper jack cheese and a super fresh and juicy chicken breast, yum! My dad wanted chili , but he confessed that the cornbread was the shining star. My uncle got the chicken enchiladas, and he was happy with his choice too! The staff was observant without being intrusive, and we can see why it has such good reviews!

The host was hot (the male one) also good food tastes amazing and really good quality

They have really good juicy sloppy burgers. We've had the green chili cheese burger and the patty melt. Yum!! They also have great fish and chips, sandwiches, homemade french fries, and a great wedge salad. They have great homemade soups too. They have great made in house desserts baked fresh daily. My favorite is the banana crème pie. So good. The only thing I don't recommend is the onion rings which they don't make fresh. Everything else is hands down amazing.

Great food, great staff, great location, great atmosphere. What took off a star is that for some bizarre reason they put cheese on top of their omelettes, rather than inside. Putting cheese inside an omelette helps bind the fillings together, so everything doesn't spill all over the plate when someone attempts to take a bite. This is really a very odd way of making an omelette, I'm not sure what they were thinking...

Best burger and bun in town. Friendly staff and all round good menu. A local find. Spacious too.

Have been a long time fan of their burgers, but last night decided to try something new and got a plate of chicken fajitas. They were absolutely awesome, every item on the plate was delicious. Their baked goods are epic, the thick and chewy chocolate chip cookie is a must try.

Buffalo burgers done just right. Juicy. Good gluten-free buns. Outdoor seating was very nice for our puppy

The absolute best burger in New Mexico. Why does Yelp require 85 characters to post a comment?

Service and food were great. Had the bison burger special and fish and chips. Both were tasty. It seemed pricey but bison was top quality.

One of the top three burgers in Santa Fe. Angela is awesome and has been holding it down. Spectacular pies, too!

I particularly like small local dives that you just come across when looking for something to eat. Santa Fe Bite was just what I wanted at the moment. My family and I got the green chile bacon burger and guacamole with chips on the side it was simple and delicious. Everything was good, the service all the way to the food. Go check them out!

We wanted to grab a green Chile cheeseburger during our stay in Santa Fe. We did a lot of research and Santa Fe Bite seemed to be THE place to go. Well, it did not disappoint. Super cute and friendly people too.

Came here on the recommendation of our concierge, for "Green Chile Burgers"...this a a local diner type restaurant specializing in a mix of diner, Mexican/Santa Fe options. They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner; we came for lunch. Menu options from starters of chips/salsa/guac, soups and salads, chili fries. Entree choices vary from tacos, chalupas, enchiladas, flautas, steaks, and other specials. Saturday had specials of pork chops, trout and fried chicken. The guys got the green chili cheeseburgers- which they enjoyed, came with fresh fried potato chips. Friend ordered the trout which she enjoyed, we got the fried chicken which we do not recommend. The chicken was really dry, especially the dark meat and breast, needed seasoning! Vegetable s were ok but the biscuit was delicious. Their bakery case was full of homemade cakes and pies: chocolate cake, banana cream pie, coconut cream pie and bourbon pecan pie were all excellent!

Several online resources pointed to this place and noted their fantastic chili cheeseburger - so that's what brought me in. And to their credit they made me an awesome burger with a fresh bakery bun, large 10 oz patty and all the fixins. It tasted great but my one critique is the green chili's kinda got buried in all the other flavors going on there. I hardly tasted them. Still it was a great meal and sanely priced. Super nice staff and fun atmosphere. I'm not sure their burger rises to the destination status that many ascribe to it but it's pretty damn good and they have a full menu of other goodies too including homemade desserts. Glad I popped in

My second time to get their homemade veggie burger and it's delicious! They also have a lot of really good daily specials. Their red chili pork posole is amazing! I could eat here everyday! Everything on the menu is yummy!!

I'm a burger girl. Been that way forever, and give me my dive burgers best. This is not a dive place, but it has dive taste! I When I moved to the Santa Fe area, many moons ago, I loved going out my way to get a Bobcat bite burger. Nothing like the harmony of ground beef, cheese, with a well seasoned flattop, topped with our state staple, green chile. Throw in the handmade chips.. now we're cooking! This little place, tucked into a shopping center, provides that! The burgers were done just right, and being able to get a6 oz for me and 10 oz for hubby, was perfect. We added the Texas chili fries for some variety, with a brownie for late night. Don't feel like burgers? Have more carnivore cravings? They can do that to, with steaks, pork chops and chicken. Also, New Mexico staples of tacos and enchiladas. I can totally recommend this place, and I will drop by again when back up in the city. Take a big bite out of Santa Fe Bite!
