Cons: Found $14 to be steep for such a small sandwich, and could have had a bit more flavor (maybe some spice?).

My goodness if you're going to Betty Burger get a milkshake. Especially their Dirty Paws is phenomenal. My wife is a big fan of the Monkey Business milkshake. The Duke burger was fine, but nothing special. It had the thinnest piece of pineapple I've ever seen on a burger with pineapple. The garlic fries weren't as garlicky as I'd hoped, either. The burger felt a little pricey for what it was. But the MILKSHAKES. They aren't expensive and they're delightful. 1000% recommend getting the milkshakes any time you walk by.

You can get the classic Betty, the Duke, with pine able and teriyaki sauce, and other options like chicken strips, and a veggie burger as well. Other delicioso things are the sweet potato fries, which are the best in town, and anywhere!!! Their hot wings are a must, and if you pair it with a beer, it is much better! If you want a good burger, there are many options in Santa Cruz, but Betty's is definitely among the best, price wise, quality and taste.

Service was so friendly and fast which I appreciated. We ordered 2 Basic Betty's (w cheese) which is the smaller option of the big Betty burger.

Attention to details by our host was evident and appreciated. Our entrées arrived nicely plated in a short time. We greatly enjoyed our entrées of Spagetti alle Vongole and Seabass Fish of the Day. Live music was being performed in the lounge throughout our dining experience which greatly enhanced the ambiance of the meal and restaurant. The live music was a contemporary jazz quartet followed by a clarinet and drums duo ensemble.

Oblo has a family-style warmth with the paper menus and touch lamps that look like candles and yet it also feels like the perfect Date Night restaurant because of the ambiance, cool lighting, top shelf bar menu, great service and impressive food. I was there for a birthday, and Oblo surprised even me with their stellar service when they marched a line of smiling staff members out with a slice of beautiful cheesecake over a zigzag of blueberry compote and sung happy birthday in such a joyful way that the other customers joined along. It was definitely special. We had great service all night -- from the first person we saw to the last. Every dish was delicious!

We came here for a pre graduation celebration dinner and this place satisfied a variety of…read moreappetites! We ordered - the summer on the porch cocktail: more cardamom forward than most cardamom lattes! I can't stop thinking about the balance of flavors - Korean short rib: good, but we were hoping for one more strip of meat - Crab curry: well balanced sauce (non of the weird gums-in-coconut-milk flavor) and not actually that spicy - Jawaain jerk pork plate: actually pretty spicy (for someone with medium-low tolerance), so the plantains, coconut rice, slaw (not overdressed, lovely crunch and zing), plantains, and Johnny cake (a savory molasses fruit bread thing) helped calm the flavor. But delicious! - Seared ahi with lemongrass sauce. The sauce was delicous but this was the worst piece of "seared ahi" I've seen in my life. I know ahi is served seared/raw but usually the raw part is of high quality (like a plummy color). This hunk had obviously been frozen and thawed badly so it was an icy pink raw ground meat texture - so unappetizing Logistics: - indoor and outdoor seating - Limited street parking in front but close to the main paid garage in downtown - It's popping for happy hour! Adjust wait times accordingly - Nut allergists: the rice that comes with each entree is cooked in coconut milk. This was not specified when we asked if a dish contained nuts. Beware!

Always delicious. I've been coming to Hula's for maybe 10 years now, and I keep coming back for:…read more- the shrimp rolls (huge rolls served in halves with a pineapple dipping sauce) - the tiki drinks (so many stellar drinks) - the Hawaiian Fish Soup (coconut milk broth - YUM!) - the Hula Pie (vanilla macadamia nut ice cream cake with an Oreo crust) On top of that, the service is typically great and the restaurant has fabulous Tiki vibes. This time I ordered what was mentioned above (tiki drink was the Pain Killer - good balance of sweet, boozy, and creamy), and my husband ordered Duke's Luau Pork Plate- he said it was one of the best pork plates he has had. It was served with rice and coleslaw. PARKING SITUATION It has been about a year since the last time I visited, and I was SHOCKED that the parking lot right across from the restaurant is completely gone. Fortunately, we came before the dinner rush, so it wasn't an issue today... We will definitely be back for happy hours to avoid parking headaches!

TikTok sent us here and it didn't let us down! After hearing what a staple Jack's is in Santa Cruz,…read morewe had to try it while we were in the area. Let me tell ya, this is one of the best burgers I've had in a hot minute. I got the Western Burger, which had chilli w/ beans, jalapeños, and barbecue sauce. This burger was perfect in basically every way. The chili was incredibly rich and savory, the jalapeños added a nice crunch and acidity, and the barbecue sauce added some sweetness. So many flavors at once that worked so well. It was well worth the mess. My wife got the Bacon Cheeseburger with a 1/3 lb patty. I really appreciated how many cheese options they had. The veggies were fresh and abundant. And that bacon was perfection. Crisp, but still had a good chew, and was thick. This was a classic done right. The fries were also fantastic. Nice and crisp but fluffy on the inside. And the portions were very generous. The place overall just feels like exactly what you want from a local burger shop. A charming burger sculpture on the roof, very friendly staff, ton of outdoor seating. If you've heard about or have been meaning to come to this place, it's well worth the hype.

No wifi, service depends on who's there, and there's plenty of seating. HOWEVER, there is literally ANY other burger place you can go to. LITERALLY any other small business/restaurant.
