Awesome, 1/22/2010
Reviewer: Greg
from Santa Barbara, CA
Just had another great lunch at Kahuna Grill! Ordered the Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich which was great. The owner, without fail, brightens my day every time I visit. He seems genuinely happy and sincere. The rest of the workers are all pleasant and add to the great atmosphere. I hope Kahuna Grill continues to do well.

Too pricey, ok food, 11/11/2009
Reviewer: JF
from Santa Barbara, CA
I've been here at least three times. This time I got the fish kebabs and my friend got the burger with onion rings and fries. The whole bill was 20 bucks. I think that is kinda expensive, given the fact that the food is just OK, nothing special. My fish on the kebabs were way too over cooked and rubbery. The rice had WAY too much teriyaki sauce on it, making it unpleasantly soggy and salty. The onion rings were good, and the burger (he let me try some) was ok. I've had better. There wasn't any real service since its not a sit down restaurant. Would get better review if prices werent so high

Now Charge 20% more for a veggie pattie, 10/25/2009
Reviewer: Carmen
from Santa Barbara, CA
This place is OK. It's pretty expensive for what you get, especially if you are a vegetarian. My husband and I got two burgers, a side of fries, and two waters for $18. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me, especially since its not a sit-down place.
The service is fine, just very minimal (the tables, in my limited experience, are usually grimy). We just grab a few extra napkins and wipe them down ourselves.
My biggest problem with this place is that they used to substitute veggie patties for meat patties for free (like every other restaurant I have ever been to), but recently they began charging extra for their veggie patties. I don't understand this since veggie patties are much cheaper than meat patties. Perhaps they no longer buy veggie patties in bulk? But, this doesn't make any sense since they freeze nicely. I guess they are not interested in vegetarian customers, which is fine...they are a burger joint. Oh well. The Habit is just as good, much cheaper, and substitutes veggie patties for free.

Inconsistent., 10/18/2009
Reviewer: Andrea
from Santa Barbara, CA
I have eaten there several times and its very inconsistent from quality, to service, to even the way the food is made. it depends on who you order in from and who is cooking that day. I liked eating here before but won't go back after a couple of not very good experiences.

Best Burger Ever, 9/25/2009
Reviewer: Jim George
from Carpinteria, CA
I've tried many places all over California and Oregon for burgers and this is by far the very best burger (the Kahuna) I have ever eaten anywhere - hands down. The owner and staff are great! I go there often and many times go out of my way just to eat there. Great place - try it! You won't find a better burger anywhere.

Kahuna?, 3/13/2009
Reviewer: Big Papa
from Santa Barbara, CA
what does Kahuna mean anyways? I think it means food that fills my tummy, shakes that make my mouth quiver, and service from ladies that raise my eyebrows... hottttt.... I love kahuna grill and all it has to offer. ;)... You other customers though, get your drinks and move out of the way. Don't stand up at the front it gets busy up there and you get in the way of the fine ladies that need to serve food. jeesh.

big fried delicous mess, 2/16/2009
Reviewer: lemonjelly
from santa barbara, ca
Expect to be set back at least $10 for a burger, fries and drink combination. But for me, that covers lunch and dinner, because I am stuffed to the gills after eating here. Indecisive over fries or onion rings? No problem, you can get half and half.
Turkey burgers here are delicious, but don't expect to get a "healthy" meal because you opted for turkey over beef - it's just as much a fried delicious mess as a beef burger. But I can say that their "Wipe Out" special, their version of chili cheese fries, was meh. I won't order that one again. But I'll go back for a burger combo when I'm hungry at lunch at not in the mood to deal with dinner. Seriously, two meals in one.

Amazing Burgers, location and service
Reviewer: Nicole
from Santa Barbara, CA
I LOVE Kahuna Grill. Ironically one of my friends from San Luis Obispo introduced me to this gem of a place. The owner is friendly without being overbearing or nosy and is incredibly approachable. I've seen him receive the nicest compliments and deal with harsh words with grace. His staff is also great, I ordered a to go order once and it was pretty dead so the cashier spent her idle time cleaning tables, not just sitting around or talking. I guess quality management attracts quality workers. Try the burger with bacon and cheese or their mushroom burger. Both are great, their onion rings are also crispy and delicious!

Kids Chicken strips!
Reviewer: Ernest
from Goleta, CA
I have been coming here for 7 years. I can't count how many orders of Kids chicken strips I have eaten ($4.26!) I see alot of families with young kids there, as well as yuppie type people eating kabobs and salads (which are actually pretty good.) The atmosphere is pleasant, and the owner is so friendly.

Need more healthy kids options
Reviewer: Glenn
from Buellton
Got the teriyaki chicken sandwich, pretty good. I think the one at Cal Taco is better though. No good options for kids meals, fries and a soft drink, might as well go to McD instead and get a toy for them too. Nice atmosphere, a little to loud and hot for my tastes though. Add more healthier options is only advice.

Great food, owner & atmosphere
Reviewer: Bob

I've become a regular and enjoy everything I get. Prices are great; you can't beat the value. Glad he has now opened a second one downtown in Paseo Nuevo by the cinema.

One of my regular favorites
Reviewer: Kathy
from Goleta
My family and I go here often and always have a great lunch/dinner. I love the mushroom cheeseburger, my husband likes the bacon cheeseburger, my kids love the hot dogs and chicken strips. Awesome fries and shakes!
There's always a cool surf video playing and good music in the background. My kids can spend hours at the fish tank. It's a blast to look closely at the photos and recognize some local surfers/shapers from days past. Try it, you'll be back!
