Food is always good here. My wife loves the tacos al pastor, but i'm all about the burgers. So good. Try em out.

The food was great . Nice location to chill and watch the people drive and walk by. I only recommend not drinking ice ? tea . Drink at your own risk. We probably just got a bad batch, or it sat too long.

Parking: They have limited amount of parking in back like 5 or so.

Ordered a hot chicken sandwich, the chicken was very tough, the flavour was lacking, bread not good quality. Milkshake was ok. Definitely not worth the overall 4 star rating.

Service was fine, you just go up to the window and get your food. We asked the person at the window how food was, he shrugged and said it's good. Turned out to be the worst burgers we've ever had in history. Each of us chewed for so long that we couldn't help but burst into laughter at how long we had to chew the burger. Extremely tough with no flavor whatsoever. Being from the southeast region, we're well aware that the West Coast skimps on salt in their food, but this was an extreme case. I felt guilty for trying to finish the burger because I should have left my tummy clean without it.

Had to beg for extra sauce and napkins, food is not worth the price. I made the mistake of going because there was no line, even though I know better. Nex time I'll wait and enjoy my food.

- Expensive ($45 for this: Double Western Viking; chicken sandwich; fries; a banana milkshake; a horchata; & a basic tip).
- Tasty Western Viking & fries. Chicken sandwich seemed plain.
- Old-school cafe feel.
- Out-dated outside seating.

Food quality is decent, though perhaps a little bland; I probably should've ordered from their Mexican food menu.

The Big Bopper combo was just okay. The meat was not seasoned well, the bun was overwhelming and it was generally bland with just mayonnaise as the only condiment. The Wester Viking burger was much better with BBQ sauce but smaller.

My family and I came here to eat while visiting Solvang. The guy who took our order seemed to be in a bad mood; he seemed bothered by us being there. Also, prepare yourself to pay for any condiments; the ranch is $1 each. The food was okay, but not the best; also, they do not serve your burgers on a plate; they put them straight on the tray, which I doubt is washed after every use. Also, the guy rounded the payment without authorization; my total was around $37, but he charged $40. It is not much if he wanted to get a tip, but it is not the right thing to do.

Atmosphere was great, staff took a while to attend me and others, I could hear them just chit chatting. No friendly greeting, just a stare. The bun was a little to big for the burger. No taste on the meat. Overall just a basic burger. Enjoyed the fries, just not the portion size.

Menu was large, may be a little too much for some but certainly enough for variety. They had 3 different menus, a little overwhelming to look over. However, the cook/cashier was very friendly, the food came out quick in about 5 minutes and it was delicious. We had 2 hamburgers and 1 carne asada taco. Hamburgers tasted fresh. The taco had a nice cook on the tortilla, carne asada was tender and juicy, onions were cooked, and the hot sauce that came with it had a deep depth of flavor and perfect level of spiciness. Went last night and we're going back today!

Worst burger we've ever had. Bar none. We ordered the Solvang Burger. Granted it's their basic burger but it was horrible. The patty was less than a 1/4" thick but still tough as nails.
