We had lunch at BB's and thought the burgers were good, but not great. It's a busy place so expect a wait especially on weekends. The meat was quite good, with the right amount of fat, but the buns were nothing spectacular. The green chile was not hot. The service was friendly, but slow. It took over 20 minutes to... more

The wait can be long....but well worth it. I've lived in Santa Fe for over 22 years and have not found a better burger. Granted, some folks may argue the ingredients aren't top notch but that only adds to the deliciousness of the meal. I'm a fan of gourmet food as well, but nothing beats the bugers here. They are... more

I read about the Bobcat Bite on TripAdvisor. We put it on our list of places to try while we were visiting Santa Fe. We got there with the help of my gps. It is several miles out of town in an out of the way place. It has a counter and about 5 or 6 tables. The menu was... more

What else can we say! We had read about this hole in the wall place in a travel book...it was well worth the stop. We had the cheeseburger with jalapenos...to die for! Definitely worth going out of your way for this one. more

I wanted to have a burger epiphany at Bobcat Bite, but it didn't happen. That said, the green chile cheeseburger is indeed very good. Even better was the NY strip steak ($18), grilled simply and tender as could be. No beer or wine, cash only and they close at 7:50 pm. Worth a visit if you're in town. more

We ate here a few weeks ago after reading all of the positive reviews here. We live in Santa Fe, and eat out a lot, and this is probably one of the worst burgers we've encountered ever. Both the meat and bun were very low quality. The grilled cheese was filled with processed cheese, and seemed a little pricey for... more

Sorry. Not even the best burger in New Mexico. Crowded and felt rushed. Not worth the wait. I can think of no reason to go here again. The burger was big but...... more

It's easy to zip right by Bobcat Bite on the Old Las Vegas Hwy, but turn around immediately and go right back there. It doesn't look like much, but folks in the know will happily wait 45 min. to an hour just to get a seat. It ain't fast food, so just be patient and pleasant while you wait. The... more

Since seeing Bon Apetite's "Best...." show a couple of years ago, I have wanted to try someplace on their list. We recently spent a weekend in Santa Fe (fantastic place) and Bobcat Bites was a much anticipated dining opportunity. The atmosphere is OK, the staff was awesome, but the "Best Burger in America" tag just doesn't fit. They were perfectly... more

My wife and I visited Santa Fe in the fall of 2008. We stayed at their neighbor, the Bobcat Inn, and ate at "The Bite" one evening. Are you kidding me? Heaven on a plate, their Green Chile Cheeseburger, is what I dream about on a weekly basis. Eating at the Bite would be my dying request. Living in Ohio,... more
