Loved the atmosphere! Food came out quick and was FRESH!! We got the small bird sandwich, Caesar salad, onion rings, burger and fries. The chicken was so juicy and the breading on the fried chicken was absolute perfection. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and suggested we add a milkshake, we had one of each! Highly recommend, they also have a great kids menu, lots of choices to choose from! read more

Just landed at Little Bird Kitchen for their burger week $10 special. Fortunately it was right before the after work rush hour. I greeted very friendly at the counter. My food came and one bite into my burger and I immediately moved LBK up my "top burgers for burger week" list. I'm gonna move it up to #5 of my 8 so far. What a difference homemade thousand islands dressing can make. The burger pattie itself was very flavorful. You can't go wrong in the public market. Atmosphere is always top tier here. read more

burger was gas. wanna try the corn dog next. the packaging is also really cool and casual, makes me feel like a kid again. read more

It was okay. My chicken sandwich was difficult to eat because the buns were thin and there was a lot of meat (not complaining about the amount of meat). I wish there was more sauce because it was good. Onion rings were good. My son didn't enjoy his corn dog and fries that much but couldn't explain why. I don't know. I think I'd come back and try the burger but wasn't impressed this round. read more

Came here for burger week and between the other 2, this one was my favorite. The burger is small, but the veggies help to make it not too heavy. The overall flavor is pretty good read more

This place is really expensive. We spent $63 on all of this. The burger and fries were good, but the fries alone were six dollars which was very pricey. The burger was good, I would call it a smash burger as the meat was thin and crispy. I was definitely full afterwards! The Little Bird Sandwich however was falling apart, and the flavor was not impressive. It was $2 to make it spicy, but it looked like they just put some chili oil on it which ended up everywhere but the sandwich. I really enjoyed the milkshake. That was our favorite part although $10 was expensive. We got chocolate and it had a bit of a minty taste which I liked! read more

The little bird sandwich was good! I think it was a little messy and unstable but the sauce was yummy. The Ceaser salad was boring the flavor was hard to find and just tasted like lettuce towards the end. Now two stars were lost because of the service. The two girls that were ringing us up laughed at me and were just rude when taking my order and receiving it. read more

I found out about this place during burger week. Burger looked delicious and actually their fish sando looks great as well as the fried chicken. After a nice hike this burger and onion rings hit the spot. Tasty smash style burger, a bit greasy but enjoyable. The onion rings are top tier, fries are good. Probably won't get a salad next time but over all glad I came and gave it a go. read more

In the Santa Barbara Public Market. I feel like we happened upon 2 gems here. The Public Market was off the main drag, State St, kind of unassuming from a tourists perspective. We came into the lively market looking for a healthier option. We discovered Little Bird Kitchen, and hubs and I shared a Tuscan Kale Salad with Chicken, that was a great sized portion, with tons of fresh ingredients and ended up being very filling for us two. This is a great find! read more

Oooh the chicken sandwich known as the little bird is massive! Somewhat of an oxymoron. This has two slices of chicken -buttermilk fried chicken breast! Filling a flavorful. There is an option to add spice to the chicken. Located in the SB public market, the service is prompt whether eating at the market or ordering for takeout. I highly recommend order 50/50, which is fries and onion rings and eat with the LBK sauce. Will be returning, to try other items in the menu. read more

I order food from the Public Market about once a week and always find myself going back to Little Bird for their Crispy Fish Sandwich. It's consistently crispy, and I really love the sauce and pickles. I've also tried the LBK Burger and the Mixed Lettuce Salad with Salmon, which were both delicious. My son loves the Little Burger and fries. If you have a sweet tooth, try one of the milkshakes for dessert. read more

Exceptional service, food and ambiance. I just wish I had known in advance it wasn't the place I thought I was going to. A happy accident. By the way, they have the right person running the register. I didn't get her name, but she's a superhero (Green Lantern) read more

I was able to enjoy lunch at the Public Market recently and opted to try Little Bird Kitchen. I chose the mixed lettuce salad bowl and added grilled chicken. It was delicious! I love beets and the poppyseed dressing was such a good compliment. The salad was beautifully displayed with spreadable cheese on the side of the bowl! The staff working were so friendly and helpful. My order came up super quick. I will definitely be back! read more

I love the sandwich with sea salt French fries, so good ! little bird It's located inside the Public Market family friendly ambiance Serving is right to the point, you order at the counter, the give you a pager and they tell you come back to pick up . read more

Yes, this is fast, casual dining, but do not mistake it for fast food quality. I had the little bird sandwich and it was very, very good. The chicken was moist and tender and crispy without being greasy. There were two very large pieces of chicken breast. I ended up opening the sandwich and having two open face sandwiches. I believe I read that the owner is trained in fine cuisine and it definitely showed with this meal. I look forward to going back and trying the burger. read more

Ate here for the first time recently before an Arlington show. Tucked in the back of the Public Market, things were bustling but not overly crowded. Minimal but diverse selection of salads, hamburgers, fried and grilled chicken and fish sandwiches plus kids meals. We had a cheeseburger, fried chicken sandwich and a couple of orders of fries. You can grab a beer at the bar right next door to have with your meal. Food came out hot and fresh. Great flavor, nice portions and not greasy. Fries were fresh and crisp too. Service was friendly, fast and efficient. Excellent homemade quality and a nice alternative to chain burger/chicken spots! read more

Unreal salads! I'm sure everything else is also amazing!! Great service as well. Another awesome restaurant in public market! read more

Way too Over Priced, Burger wasn't worth the 18$ also fries were an additional 6$!!! The Burger was so greasy and tasted completely bland. I could've gotten a cheaper tastier burger with a fry and drink anywhere else in sb!! read more

The food here was delicious! I highly recommend the onion rings and the chicken sandwich.

I really liked the corn dog. You can tell they made it from scratch. I think they could have added more honey than the small amount which seaped into the container. My friend told me he would get the corn dog next time after he tasted it. He said the fried chicken sandwich was just ok. It was so hot in the public market today so we sat in front of a fan. The service was very good and the public market is always clean. I think they could have put the air conditioning on to a lower setting today. read more

We saw this new spot during a visit to public market at the beginning of July. Spoke with owner Josh and were excited to have a new spot to try. Little Bird Kitchen popped up on a search for chicken wings. I've tried a lot of wings in town and was curious about their offering. We dove right in and chose the dozen classic wings, with the intense sauce on the side. First bite- wow. Crisp on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. They were so fresh and (temperature) hot, it was hard to contain myself as they cooled. Perfect wings- top three favorites in SB. We also had the kale salad. Standard issue, super fresh kale. Tasty Parmesan crisp. Jazzed about the wings and looking forward to trying their other menu offerings if I can deviate from my wing order. read more

Provide water for your customers when they buy food from your restaurant, like every other place on the foodcourt

Wings were ok but don't bother buying anything else. Ridiculously overpriced total waste of 80 dollars for just wings a salad and a burger. Salad was just gross and there was zero flavor on anything we bought. Don't waste your time or money here! read more

The food was so amazing we finished it all in about 10 seconds!!! Everything tasted super fresh and you could tell that thought was put into every item on the menu. Staff was super friendly and we got our food fast. Overall, LBK is a great place to hang out and grab a bite... still dreaming about the milkshakes read more

i got the little birdies Krispy Chicken Strips and fries. let me tell you everything was a K for krispy. Taste was a 2, flavor was lacking and BBQ sauce was CRAP. service was a little depressing, didn't ask how's my day. ambiance: crowded but the vibes are cool. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while. Ordered the chicken sandwich and fries. First, very expensive!! Fries were listed as sea salt fries. They were very, very salty, cooked well, good size. Chicken sandwich was a disappointment. Small bun, chicken too thick to convey the seasonings, under salted. Very bland taste. No fountain service for tea or soda, only overpriced bottled or canned drinks. Service was fine, food prepared relatively quickly. read more

LBK burger is so good. Onion rings are a favorite of everyone in my fam. Even the kids menu is fantastic here. Hard to get photos on this place because I cannot wait to dig in. read more

Love this addition to the public market! The absolute best chicken wings I've had. High quality, good food! I've also had them cater a small event (25 people) and everything was stellar. Can't finish without mentioning the milkshakes! Perfect consistency, big portions and absolutely delicious! (Chocolate malted is my vote) read more

We ordered a burger and a Ceasar salad it was good food! Pricey but it's Santa Barbara so that's normal. Fast and good

Really wanted to like this place but the food was okay. We ordered the kale salad and the Greek salad. Both had great toppings but not enough! Also both lacked flavor. Mine had no dressing and when we asked for dressing the dressing they gave us also had no flavor. The food has potential. Service was nice and ambiance was good read more

So good! 100% recommend this place. We had the chicken sandwich and onion rings. All of their food looked incredible and the service was fast read more

Came here for lunch and it was SO GOOD! We got the cesar salad and a burger to split. The salad was perfect. Nice and creamy with the right amount of dressing. The burger was cooked medium rare which is just what we asked for. The staff was super nice. Especially the girl named Reese she was the best! The restaurant was clean and parking wasn't an issue. Will definitely be coming back here! read more

Came here for lunch yesterday and ordered the burger! It was probably one of the best burgers I've had in a while here in SB. It kind of reminds me of a boujee version of an In n Out burger but better ingredients obviously! Plus the ambiance was super cute. Highly recommend read more
