$10 and 20 minute wait for a very salty burger, 6/27/2012
Reviewer: Tina from Santa Barbara, CA
We knew it would be busy being that it was summer solstice, but waited 20+ minutes for our order (a single burger) and while I loved! the ciabatta there was so much salt on the burger that it was virtually inedible. Can't decide if we'll try it again. Might just buy ciabatta and make burgers at home for cheaper.


Phenominal!!!!!, 6/6/2012
Reviewer: Big Rob aka Two Buck Luck from Santa Barbara, CA
The Burger Bus is SO phenominal that it makes all other burgers taste like McDonalds "burgers". The onion rings make my mouth water just at the thought of them. If I could rate higher than 5stars, I would...because, honestly, 5 stars is a serious-understatement. These guys are so good, I can't eat any other burgers


Bus wait
Reviewer: Glenn from Buellton
From your review it appears people DO like to wait for the bus! I go offhours, its definitely a longer wait than McD's but its also definitely not fast food in that you are getting a thick Shaloob grass fed hormone free patty. Cal Taco at the moment I believe also does Shaloob meat with about the same wait, wonder if it has to do with that type of meat? The bus is good to do every now and then when you have the time.


No one likes to wait for the bus
Reviewer: Andrew from Santa Barbara, CA
Jalapeno jelly on a burger. Daring and delicious. Same with pickle chips. Loved it first time. Second time Ciabatta roll was too much particularly given twenty minute wait while owner chatted outside bus with line 20 deep.


Most amazing burgers and sides anywhere
Reviewer: $2-Luck from Santa Barbara, CA
Though a bit pricey, a little messy, and tough to get to, TBB has the most amazing burgers and sides in the world. Their burgers will make any other burger taste like McD's "burgers". The onion rings are off the hook!! If you can afford $15-20 for a meal, you need to treat yourself to TBB...it'll fill you up for the day!


BEST BURGER OF MY LIFE
Reviewer: Matt from Santa Barbara, CA
I had the best burger of my life today. It was nothing short of a spiritual experience infused with beef, bacon, spicy jelly, pickle chips and other magical "gonzo" ingredients. It was so good that after I finished it, I literally ate more out of another mans hands. Despite this somewhat homoerotic experience (or perhaps because of it), I am left with a full belly, and happy memories of a burger prepared to perfection. Were I a cow, I would insist that the Burger Bus prepare me.


Awesome food, awesome people
Reviewer: Ben from Santa Barbara, CA
Mike and Cheryl are two of the friendliest, coolest people around. Even if they weren't, I'd still go to the Burger Bus, because the food is incredible. The ten best burgers I've ever had in my life came from the Bus, and some of the best meals, period. Any time I have out-of-town guests, one of the must-do trips is the Bus for a CB&J, which people always balk at initially and love by the end. Can't recommend enough.


Even vegetarians love the Burger Bus!
Reviewer: Kristen from Santa Barbara, CA
The grilled cheese is great. I have gotten all of the sides, and love them all. Still have to try the falafel, but love the GC so much it's hard to give it up. Wish they had more downtown locations (I know, I know, I have Fridays, and one Wed a month, but you darn tech companies steal Tues AND Thurs!). Friends & coworkers say the burgers are great, too. Messy, yes, but darn good.


some corrections for below...
Reviewer: Kelly from Santa Barbara, CA
I eat at The Burger Bus all the time and absolutely LOVE their food! Just to clarify a few things: a chipotle burger is $7.50 ($9.00 if you add bacon), the yam fries are $2.50 and the drinks are $1.00. All in all, Rian's meal cost $11.00, not $15.00. If you were to get this high quality, super tasty meal in a sit-down restaurant in Santa Barbara, it would easily cost you $18.00. Keep up the great work Burger Bus!


Agree w Below
Reviewer: Lex from Santa Barbara, CA
I agree with Rian. The Burger Bus is delicious and I would pay this much for their food if it was a restaurant where I could sit. But since it's a food truck, with no roof and limited to no seating, I expect to pay a little less.


Pricey
Reviewer: Rian from Santa Barbara, CA
Was finally able to track this bus down. Very good burgers, but the prices are insane. I got the chipotle burger and was $9 without a side!! Then a side of sweet potato fries was another $3 and another couple bucks for a drink.. Lunch at the bus is a easy $15. This is something I expect to pay at a sit down restaurant, but from a truck.... The food is flavorful but not worth the price in my eyes.


Can't beat 'em
Reviewer: Sophia from Santa Barbara, CA
The onion rings from Burger Bus are amazing. Go wild, eat a few, you'll be glad you did, even if you did have to stand in a random parking lot with a bunch of hipsters whilst waiting for them (the rings, not the hipsters) to be cooked to order.


Life Changing!
Reviewer: SB Pete from Santa Barbara, CA
If you have not met Michael and Cheryl yet then you are missing out, because their Burger Bus serves up the best burger in Santa Barbara - hands down! The burgers on the menu are perfectly cooked, hearty, unique and creative. If you are feeling adventurous then go with the off-the-menu "Gonzo," this is where Michael makes you a creative burger of his choice - these are always incredibly good! (I get one every week) For those who have mentioned the burger being messy or hard to eat: I recommend folding the paper packaging over the back half of the burger while you eat it - this will keep your burger together and your hands/labs clean, all while making each bite that much better!


Yummy food and wonderful people!
Reviewer: Elizabeth Busdeker from Santa Barbara, CA
I actually asked the Burger Bus to come cater my wedding. They were very easy to work with and made the whole process stress free (which is a God send during wedding planning). I received so many compliments on their food and service. My guests were raving about them, as a matter of fact. Their burgers and sides are AMAZING.
