“Betty’s Burgers in downtown Santa Cruz is a true local favorite and absolutely deserves five stars. Every visit delivers consistently **delicious burgers**—juicy, flavorful patties, fresh toppings, and a menu with something for everyone, from classic beef to veggie and turkey options. The atmosphere is fun and welcoming, with a classic diner vibe.

But the real standout? Their chocolate milkshake is always the best. Creamy, rich, and perfectly blended, it’s a must-try treat that keeps me coming back again and again. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite after the beach or enjoying a casual meal with friends, Betty’s Burgers never disappoints. Highly recommend for anyone craving a great burger and the best milkshake in Santa Cruz!“

“Great food, great location, great host. Happy to see a local business succeed.“

“It was a good idea having KFC and A&W combined. I enjoyed having the choice between the two places or a little of both. I went with three chicken strips and a double cheeseburger combo. Both were hot and seemed really fresh. The chicken was super tender and the burger had a great flavor. The fries were also some of the best I've had in a while. They had a little seasoning on them which tasted really good. The restaurant doesn't have a lot of places to sit but even to go would be a great option. Definitely worth a try.“

“Georgie's Cook House is located within Roaring Camp. The menu had great selection of burgers, fries, hotdogs and icecream. They also have a vegan burger which is also suitable for vegetarians. We bought the chicken tenders, fries and burger. We were able to order them individually or as a combo which comes with fries and canned soda. The orders are taken at the front side of the restaurant facing the tracks and we picked up at the window in the side. Table and seating is available but they aren't sufficient enough for even a small crowd. Management should look into this and make some more seating available. There is a digital display that shows your order number when ready. Payment can be made via cash or card. Mobile payments are accepted however, the area doesn't have a good cell reception. The ordering and pickup system is well organized. However, the person who takes the order is little slow which makes the line move slowly. People from the beach train have a layover time constraint of 1 hour. So, a faster ordering system would make it more effective.“
