So very good. Had the double cheeseburger with crispy fries and a chocolate malt while my wife ate some of the crispy fries and a plain cheeseburger with vanilla shake. Perfect for a stop off between LA and Santa Barbara when you get hungry around late lunch. Very satisfying. Will be here again for certain.

one of my family’s favorite spots. burgers, burritos, the chili relleno burrito was magical. the corn dogs, and crispy fries were delish. it’s a perfect spot for a beach treat !

ONLY CASH!!! This place it amazing. It did take a little long to order the food. The cashier wasn't very fast at her job. But once we ordered we sat down and the food was ready in like 10ish min. You get the old school, beach, and fresh vibe. The food is amazing. The burger looks and tastes home made. They give you a big burger. The fires are ok. They weren't worth finishing. Just get one frie to share with someone else I promise you you aren't going to want to get seconds. The burger is super juicy! Always went to this place when I was younger and tastes and looks the same.

A totally unassuming ‘spot’ that you may think is only a fast food joint. The food is good and my wife was pleasantly surprised about the shrimp taco! Give it a chance!

The food was good I particular enjoyed the location. Great place to eat at. There was one thing though, one of the cooks, very young, he looked about 20 . With shorts and a hat, left the little shack to go into a room in the back and then he came out about 2 minutes later blowing smoke out his mouth ?!? Seems a little unprofessional, I don’t believe he was on his break. Not tryna get little man in trouble or anything, just wanna make sure it doesn’t happen again especially with the kids around!

The Spot is a community establishment and that generational love is felt in every aspect of this restaurant. The service is friendly and oddly personable for the brief minute or so it took to place my order. The atmosphere is immaculate as the shack feels out of time and right at home simultaneously. Locals have been coming here for generations and I completely understand why — something about this place is just so comforting. The cheeseburger, while simple, made me smile — I was genuinely filled with happiness while eating it. It is flavored with the seasonings that can only come from a well loved griddle. All the vegetables played their part to add textual variety. The chili cheese fries were good — especially during a gray beach day. Covered in melted cheddar and a warm, well spiced, and chunky chili, you couldn’t ask for anything more. While The Spot won’t knock your socks off, it is a simple burger and fries made with love, as cheesy as it sounds.

Super yummy burgers and tasty onion rings! People working couldn't care less if we were there but their food is worth it. Outdoor seating which means dog friendly!!

Unexpectedly above-average, beach burger joint. Ordered a chicken sandwich, burger & fries, and a breaded clam chowder bowl...all tasty and satisfying. Family enjoyed it. Not gourmet quality, but did the job. Walking distance from Carpinteria SB campsites with outside, covered seating. Reasonably priced.

5 stars for the location 5 stars for cleanliness and sanitizing 4 stars for service, not very friendly 3 stars for the food. Even though it looked delicious, burger was soggy and fell apart. The avocado we requested on the burger was more like guacamole and very runny. Messed up the whole experience

If you're expecting a quick, decent bite to eat by the beach, this is "The Spot!" The service is fast and friendly and the burgers are pretty tasty. My only complaint is that the onion rings are obviously frozen. However, they are super cheap! Definitely worth checking out. Update: the chocolate shakes are awesome!

It’s okay but a pretty substandard burger, really expensive substandard burger but it’s close to the beach so that’s probably where the expensive price comes from. The burgers were undercooked, cold burger and burnt onion rings, the girl taking the order was wishing she was somewhere else. I recommend getting a burger somewhere else, in my opinion it’s really tough to mess up a burger but the spot is definitely not the spot to get a burger .

Never going back. I always given this local establishment my business, but I’m done. The double burger that I recently got had a weird smell to it. I tasted the hamburger patty itself and it had a bad smell to it, not fresh at all. I immediately threw it away. Never again!

I came out to The Spot on a recommendation from a friend who's a Carp local. He's always gushing about how amazing the food is so I drove out from SCV to give it a try. All I can say is that the entire experience was quite disappointing. I didn't mind that the lines and wait times were long nor that there was limited seating space since it's the closest lunch spot from the beach. However, what irked me was the dismal service from the staff and undercooked food. The girl at the front seemed completely disinterested in taking our order. When I went to pick up my order from the window, the server forgot our malt and drinks. After asking them repeatedly, I had to wait over ten minutes to get our drinks. By the time I got back to my table, the food was clammy and cold. I also distinctly asked them for fries well done, but instead recieved half frozen fries. Also, the meat on the burgers weren't cooked through and were excessively pink. I like my steaks rare, but I definitely dare not risk eating rare burgers. In the end I tossed out most of the food. The only positive is that they have ample parking spaces in the back and a clean bathroom. Their food and service are both atrocious.
