Authentic beef taste burgers!! Congratulations
Better than Burger King! They Grill their 🍖🥓 1950's style. And the Fries are off the Chain. 🍔 🍟 They Grill the old Classic way💪🏾👍🏾
Best char-broiled burger in town.
Great food and service and you can eat either inside or outside
In town for work and this place was down the street so I decided to try it and we'll it turned out to be a great decision. I'll definitely be back
Great classic burgers and fries! Not as fast as other drive thrus but they make it fresh for you on the spot. Worth it. Been coming here since I was kid and won't stop as long we're here.
The burger and fries I got was amazing. I got a Super King Burger and added bacon, cheese, avocado, pickles and mustard. It was so delicious and filling. The fries thrown in the bag was great, and them being unsalted and giving you the salt packs was perfect for those who like unsalted/extra salted fries. The service was quick from the time I ordered to the time I got my food it was probably 5 mins if that. I can't say too much about the atmosphere because I went later in the evening on a rainy day, so we couldn't really sit and eat in their outdoor provided seating, but it wasn't too much of an issue, I did like that they had a drive thru, not many local restaurant/non chain fast food places offer that option anymore.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Charlies burgers King Falafel, and I must say, the experience left quite an impression. It was evident that there had been a change in management, as the restaurant now boasted all-new amenities and a remarkably clean environment. The fresh ambiance added to the overall appeal of the place. When it came to the food, I decided to try their rib sandwich, and I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors it offered. While it may not have been extraordinary, it was a decent sandwich with a satisfying taste. The combination of tender tri-tip and the accompanying ingredients created a well-balanced meal. However, the true highlight of my visit was the King Burger. I decided to add some flavor to it by adding bacon and cheese, and it turned out to be a delightful choice. The burger itself was prepared exceptionally well, with a juicy patty that was full of flavor. The bacon and cheese complemented the burger perfectly, adding an extra layer of richness. Overall, it was a mouthwatering treat that I thoroughly enjoyed. To complete my meal, I ordered a side of fries, and they did not disappoint. The fries were cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The portion size was generous, making it more than enough to share between two people. The fries were undoubtedly a standout, and I relished every bite. In summary, my experience at Charlies burger King Falafel was a positive one. With its new management, the restaurant has undergone noticeable improvements, providing a clean and inviting atmosphere. The rib sandwich was decent, but it was the King Burger that stole the show with its excellent flavor and the addition of bacon and cheese. The fries were equally impressive, with a crispy texture and a satisfying portion size. If you're looking for a satisfying meal, I would recommend giving King Falafel a try. My brother in law had the super King burger with bacon and cheese and he said that the burger did not disappoint as well 10/10.
Stopped off for some dinner for three people. Went through the drive through, they were fairly busy, however, the line went pretty fast. We ordered a chicken sandwich, Queen hamburger and a vegan sandwich for my daughter, not sure how she does it, but she liked her no-meat sandwich . The chicken sandwich and my Queen burger were nice, hot and good.
Good food. Considering they cook everything fresh, they do a pretty darn fast. It was a busy lunch crowd and they took care of my order in a hurry. I don't think I waited more than 5 minutes. Super friendly staff that is motivated.
In college...this was our favorite to go after a night out. Had not been there for 20+ years. Food was a little different than I remembered, but still amazing. The prices were very reasonable...less than McDonalds and alot for your $.
Want an unhealthy burger that just tastes so good you can't help but eat it even though it only slides down your throat because of the grease? This is the place for that! Great burgers! No kids menu options which is disappointing since the only chicken nugget esque thing are $9 worth of chicken strips but the burgers are still great either way.
I had been wanting a queen burger with Avocado and Mayo. only. It did not disappoint. It was just as good as when i worked in that little box 43 yrs. Ago. The zucchini fries were also very good. We only had french 🍟 back then. It was definitely a nice treat. The employee was polite and
Decent burger. Service definitely was lacking to put it mildly. I placed my order online to expedite things a little, knowing the place is popular and busy. Not only was I stuck waiting there for 20 minutes after the pickup time, but two other customers arrived, ordered, and left with their food while I was waiting.
These Kids Take Forever To Take An Order. Very Rude. Hopefully The Can Get Someone Who Can Be A Little More Considerate.
Giving this place a 1 star because the last two times I was there I ordered 2 Jr with cheese and avocado paid extra for and get home my burgers had no cheese or avocado and they were cold. Use to love coming here for their delicious burgers but I don't know if I will be back.
It's a rundown shack with mid-burgers and terrible employees. I waited at the ordering machine for 10 minutes and no one answered. I pulled up to the drive thru after waiting another 15 minutes in line and the high schooler taking my order said that I had to order at the machine. He told me I could order now and and go back through the drive thu or I could park and he would bring the food out. Since I didn't want to wait in the drive thru line again, I parked and waited 45 minutes and he never brought the food out. The burgers were soggy, the fries were lukewarm and I never got my drinks. Getting two combo meals shouldn't be rocket science.
Was in Santa Maria last week. Needed late night food and found good reviews for this place. Get there and plenty of cars in the drive through, I notice there's is a counter to order from. I park and go inside. At least 5 minutes standing there being the only customer inside , no one acknowledging or even a "whats up". I finally order, and the food is ready after all the cars clear out of the drive through. Grab my food head home. Burgers look decent but there's 0 flavor. Little to no seasoning, Bread kinda tough. Fries were bad soggy almost cold. I found it odd that they put the cheese on the bun and not on the actual patty on the grill to melt. Maybe it was an off night. But nothing was good, food or staff. I enjoy hole in the wall mom & pop burger joints! But I'm staying clear. Sorry. My first 1 star review😒
