Carmen's Burger Bar

This is a casual place with friendly, efficient service.

The food was wonderful. My Green Chile and Jack Burger was cooked correctly to order (medium rare). It was very juicy. The pickles, lettuce, and onion were all crispy and fresh. Tomato slice was good too. The onion rings were perfect. Good idea to use the big cups for dipping ranch dressing. Companion's cheeseburger was also good. The fries were excellent, crispy til the end.

We got the hamburger with BBQ sauce & bacon and it was the bomb! Best burger I've had in years. Very nice service and great atmosphere. Nice bar with quality alcohol if you want a drink. Very close to Sutter Santa Rosa so it was convenient after an appointment. We are coming back soon for an appointment and definitely will stop by for a Carmen burger!

Burger was delicious and fries perfect! I have never liked sports bars, this was not too loud but definitely present

Carmen's burger it was really good a lil under cooked but Delicious and the green beans were great

Pretty damn good burgers here. They also offer Mexican fare. I'm definitely glad I stopped by. Ordered the chili burger, and it was perfectly cooked medium. Very huge burger, and I saved half for later. Great service.

First time here and it was great! It’s a smaller area for dining with the bar being most of it but it was cozy. It was the perfect diner food mixed with good drinks, the best combination that’s hard to find. They made a delicious Moscow mule and the fried pickles were incredible! Very reasonable prices as well.

My wife and I have been going to Carmen’s since we moved to SR in 2017. Carmen herself is self made and she has such a great team and family that work with her. Our favorite burger is the Green Chili and Jack with bacon. The chicken Caesar salad is also one of my favorites. Overall everything we’ve had at Carmen’s has been great, from the appetizers, salads, burgers, and even the Mexican food selection is all great and very consistent. Plus the prices are very reasonable, which is rare these days.

I've been here 2xs.1st time great service. Waitress was very informative and tho it was busy. Kept our drinks full and kept us posted on our order. And we were seated upstairs.
2nd visit sat downstairs different waitress,No very knowledgeable about the menu, Had no opinions on any of the menu items and after our orders were brought never saw again. Had to go up and ask for the check so we could pay and leave

Simple uncomplicated menu and delicious food. What else could you ask for? I wish every restaurant followed the simplicity we all valued once and just let food speak for itself.

Fine veggie burger, be sure to ask to replace the patty (the actual veggie burger is just a meat patty with vegetables), great fries!

I had a hectic morning and was looking for a place to eat. I googled a nearby place to eat. Several places popped up. Carmen's Burger Bar caught my eye. I looked at the menu and saw something that sealed the deal. Pastrami sandwiches! Pastrami was one of my main foods when I lived in Boston. That was over 47 years ago. I found the place with ease. It is actually very close to Sutters Hospital. I entered and sat in a booth. I was greeted immediately by a young man who promptly gave me a menu. Even though I had made up my mind,I looked it over for future references. It isn't a large menu, but what they had to offer was enough. I told myself the next time I would return, I would certainly try one of their burgers and maybe a rum and coke! I was served my meal in less than fifteen minutes. As you can see in the photos, the presentation was mouthwatering. The first bite told me I had made the right decision. The serving size was more than I expected. Talk about melt in your mouth tenderness! The flavor was awesome! No over or under seasoning at all! The fries were on point and plentiful! I enjoyed the meal tremendously! The best part is that the meal with a soda costs just a little over twenty dollars! I think it's worth the fifteen minute drive from my home in Santa Rosa. AWESOME!!!
