I was craving a burger on a Friday night and saw the reviews of this place. This was soooo good and hit the spot so well! I will definitely drive all the way across town to get it again. It was hot and did not take long to make. The restaurant set up was not ideal but it didn't affect me since my order was to go. There were too many tables and chairs for the space so it was hard to walk through without your butt hitting someone. read more

Dropped in here for a quick bite after taking a look at their menu. There are so many delicious selections. I ended up getting the brisket fries and it was next level. They really load up on the toppings on top of well seasoned fries. For the price, it was amazing value. Worker working on the night of 4/20 was super friendly! Good amount of seating inside. read more

A halal burger joint 4 mins from the Pier! So exciting!! Food was so tasty and plentiful. I really enjoyed the original smash burger, wasn't a big fan of the loaded fries but that's only because Im not a big fan of BBQ sauce. Order came out within minutes, even the bigger orders were out within minutes. Staff was very courteous and respectful. Seating area is small but there was plenty of seating available when we went at lunch time. No air conditioning which was a bit of surprise?! read more

Chocolate ice-cream with cinnamon flavor is tasty. The Original Skillet burger is pretty good but smaller than I expected. French fries are really good skinny type. Everything including ice-cream take about 8-10 minutes. read more

Urban should be replaced with ultimate because these burgers were nothing but spectacular. Huge portions, wish I had known prior to ordering. Order the southern bbq burger and parm garlic wings. Had left overs because the portions were so big. Left in a food coma that was well deserved. Definitely on my always to eat place when visiting Santa Monica. read more

Urban Skillet - Santa Monica Review When I tell you the customer service here was 10/10, I truly mean it! The staff was so kind and attentive -- even though it was just one person taking orders and serving, he kept a smile on his face the entire time and made sure we had everything we needed. His positivity really stood out and made the experience even better . I ordered a plain hamburger with everything on it plus truffle oil, and it was absolutely delicious -- juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The bun had a nice crisp edge and fluffy texture . I also got tater tots with their house-made sauce (so good!) and a refreshing pineapple soda . Everything was amazing from start to finish. I'd highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a great burger, tasty sides, and top-notch customer service! If this review was helpful, give it a like! read more

Urban Skillet in Santa Monica is a gem for anyone craving mouthwatering halal comfort food with a twist. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a casual yet trendy atmosphere that perfectly matches its beachside location. The menu is diverse, but everything revolves around their expertly crafted burgers, loaded fries, and shakes. Their fries are addictive, with just the right balance of spices and richness! What truly sets Urban Skillet apart is its accommodating and friendly staff. They were attentive and happy to explain the menu and recommend favorites. and don't skip dessert! The Oreo Milkshake was thick, creamy, and generously topped with crushed cookies. Parking can be a bit tricky in this area, but the quality of the food is worth the effort. If you're in Santa Monica and craving a hearty, flavorful meal, Urban Skillet is a must-visit. Highly recommend! read more

I will travel for a good burger. I just love them! They're also a good way to gauge a business; if they can make a good burger then I can trust other dishes that they serve. I also don't think I've ever had a halal burger, which this spot serves all halal meat options. I stopped by today to check out their burger. They actually have quite a few options. I love breakfast burgers (anything with an egg involved) and I ordered their Eggcelent Morning burger. It comes with two smashed patties, bacon, and American cheese all between brioche buns. This burger was SO good! The meat was juicy and flavorful, the bacon was cut thick, and the brioche buns just tie in the whole thing together. I was impressed by their burger that I had to order more. I tried the truffle burger, brisket fries, spicy buffalo chicken sandwich, and brisket melt. All excellent options! They also have fresh brewed iced teas and milkshakes. I want something sweet, so I ordered the urban honey shake. So good! read more

This place is really chill and great for a quick lunch! The host was super kind at the counter and helped us make decisions since it was our first time. I ordered the Original Skillet Burger - YUM!!!! Brioche bun, Smashed Double Patties, Caramelized, Lettuce, Onions, Urban Sauce, American Cheese, Pickles. My friend ordered the Blazin Chicken Burger - it was GREAT. He loved the sauces on it! The tots were crispy and really delish! They had nice indoor seating and a few outside tables. It was cozy, airy and a great easy lunch. We probably wouldn't go TOO far out of our way to eat here again, but if you are in the area, it's def. worth stopping by!! read more

Best burgers on the westside. Possibly even best burgers period. Delicious juicy burgers.

I love the concept and their dishes on the menu easily makes anyone's mouth water but I thought dishes were just pretty good. Had the Buffalo Mac n cheese wrap and the brisket one too. I wish Yelp could let me choose 3.5 stars instead of 3 since that's more fair imho. Nevertheless, I don't regret trying it and I think everyone should give this place at least 1 try read more

The Truffle Burger at Urban Skillet is seriously delicious. The truffle flavor is rich without being overpowering, and the patty stays super juicy. The brioche bun holds everything together perfectly, and the toppings add the right amount of crunch and flavor. Fries are crispy, service is quick, and the whole meal feels like a great upgrade from your usual burger spot. Definitely worth ordering if you're craving something flavorful and a little indulgent. read more

Was so pleasantly surprised to find such a BUN-derful burger spot in Santa Monica, and I love how all of their protein choices are certified to be halal. I tried the OG dog, oh-so-hot burger and Nashville chicken sandwich, and all of them were juicy and cooked well without being overly salty or fatty. I would recommend pairing your order with their fries (which are fried to perfection) and the root beer float, which had a very nostalgic homemade touch to it. Service was really nice and friendly, and even personally brought us our orders and cleaned up the table after we finished. There's plenty of seating inside and outside and is good for larger parties, and there's lots of street parking in the area. read more

There is nothing like finding a great burger spot. This was our first time visiting Urban Skillet and it was really good. I ordered the Oh So Hot Burger and it was great and tasty. We also ordered the tots which were pretty good as well. This was a really nice and cozy place that we found. Parking is across the street which was nice in the lot. We were welcomed with a friendly greeting and it was great to see. We will definitely return to get another great meal. read more

So delicious. I went here with my husband and two kids. We were all happy. I had a spicy burger that was perfect. My husband had one with egg, and he loved it. My kids ate their burgers and fries quickly. The service was great. The person in the front was patient with us and the food came quickly. read more

The guy at the front was really nice and my burger was pretty good too. There were two televisions playing with a women's ufc documentary and sports though no sound and there was no music. I also had some sweet potato fries which were really good crispy but soft on the inside and not dry. read more

I found this place through Heyla and decided to check it out after seeing all the hype. Honestly, it lived up to it and then some. The burger was juicy, full of flavor, and clearly made with quality ingredients. You can really taste the difference with their halal meat. The fries were seasoned perfectly and the overall vibe of the place was great. Service was friendly and fast too. Definitely glad I came in and I will for sure be back. read more

Sadly, first and last time here. Waited an hour for 2 chicken sandwiches and was just told "the cashier misplaced the order" so I have to wait longer. Shame! Don't come here unless you have time to kill. read more

I didn't sit down & eat at the restaurant, so I can't speak on the dine-in experience, but I did order take out. The woman on the phone who took my order ended up taking off the Mac and cheese (not sure why). When we called the restaurant after we got home with our order to find out our Mac n cheese was missing, the server informed us that she had told them that we didn't want it anymore & scratched it off her order she placed. The server was confused also why she did this & didn't charge us when we paid. Which was nice they caught her mistake before we got home & found out ourselves. By the time we called the restaurant, apparently she had gone home. Was a bit upset because I did want the Mac n cheese, but i understand mistakes happen. Now for the food! Brisket Quesadilla 9/10: even though it was take out, it was still pretty good! Great flavor & not too dry Loaded Tots 9/10: wish there were more! I bet they taste even better when they are fresh from cooking Brisket burger 9/10: again, great job on the brisket & even for take out, it still tasted great! The cooks really did a great job on the brisket I give 3 stars because of the take out experience & the mishap with the woman on the phone. I truly believe customer service creates the ambiance of the dine in/ take out experience. When we picked up the food there were about 2 small parties eating on a Saturday night at 8pm (so it was not busy or else I would take that into account for a mistake in the order). Maybe the woman was new who took our order or maybe it was an off day. All in all, great food! read more

Best if you wanna get filled up go starving I loved being there with the ambience. It's chill and laid back to just be casual with your friends. Best burger, little pricy but you do get your moneys worth. The sides are huge and are often customizable, because of the kind workers at the front. read more

This place is LEGIT! The make a mean burger, literally we ordered three or four different burgers and not a single person left upset or dissatisfied! The service was AMAZING! The guy at the front counter was extremely informative! Like hats off to this top tier employee who totally believed in the food he was selling! This spots in a quieter area in the Ocean Park neighborhood of Santa Monica and it's quite nice! Extremely clean facility, and can we shout out for the HALAL FAIR! Heck yes! Our guests from New York who only consume Halal were very impressed! Gourmet burgers at a fraction of the price Yelpers! We will definitely be back! Cheers xx read more

Well this was my first time ordering from this place and I AM NOT HAPPY! I ordered Mac n cheese ... it's in a watery runny what supposed to be cheese sauce ... is really just a cup of bland wet noodles THAT IT! The fries were old and cold .... Now I give the Burger a 3+ it wasn't great but I was hungry and made it edible.. NO RETURN HERE! read more

Wow! I was in the area and found this spot through yelp. I love burgers so I had to try the burger with bacon and egg. Omg sooooo goood! Shout out to the workers for the good advice and great service. I only got the burger because I wanted to save room for ice cream. My burger was fresh and so delicious. Quality bacon and perfect egg! Soft Patties and it was halal! The place is small but very clean and roomy. Outdoor seating as well. Parking is terrible. Definitely coming back to try the rest of the stuff. Glad I came. Thanks for the good food guys! read more

Urban Skillet - Eggcelent Morning (bacon, egg) halal - Halal Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Note: I would give a 3.6. I rounded it up to a 4. The truffle burger was good. The patty was moist and tender. The bread was fresh and fluffy. However, the burger was nothing out of the ordinary other than being Halal. $15.50 whoa! On the other hand, the brisket fries were very delicious and super tasty. The fries were crispy, enough cheese on the fries and they didn't drench the fries with BBQ sauce. Something that I would probably order again. $9.25 ok I would expect more fries. The restaurant was clean, several communal tables and the employee was nice, although it looked like they can use a little more help in the back. Note: I don't know much about Halal, it may be more expensive. It may not be as tasty so take that into consideration when you're eating here. I wouldn't compared to an In-N-Out Burger or a Burger by Gordon Ramsay because if you do, you will be disappointed. It's just a different type of burger. read more

I liked it. Was in Santa Monica and popped in for a burger. Inside is simple. Only a few tables and some stools along the wall counter. There's some extra tables outside along the sidewalk. I got the southern BBQ burger. It was good. Juicy burger, soft bun, gets a lil messy. Only complaint is I'd like the bacon to be crispier. Also got the skillet fries. Nice and cheesy, crinkle cut fries. My friend got the blazin chicken burger and they liked it. They said the heat was more mild though. Overall a solid burger joint, would definitely come back. Service was good. Friendly staff. There's street meter parking up and down the block but you might have to walk a block or two. read more

Mohammad gave great service and offered us condiments for our tater tots and wraps. In addition, he checked on our table and offered us more napkins. Everything we ordered was delicious and was definitely made with love. We ordered the southern bbq burger and the brisket s'mac wrap with tater tots. The macaroni and cheese inside the brisket wrap was creamy and delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant especially, if you're spending the evening at the beach. read more

BEST SMASH BURGER EVER! This was my first time visiting. I was up in Santa Monica for a Pokemon event and found Urban Skillet on a review page. It sounded pretty good, so we thought we'd give it a shot, SO GLAD WE DID! The flavors on everything were perfect and went well together. The construction of the burger itself was really well made held together really well. I had the skillet burger, and its flavor profile was like an elevated In-N-Out Burger. Our group shared the fries and I couldn't get enough of the skillet fries. The brisket fries were really good too can't go wrong with either option. Everyone in our group loved what they had. Service was super fast. I have highly recommended this place to everyone since visiting. read more

In the area, hungry, and this place came up on Yelp when searching for local eateries. Brisket on the menu brought us in. Hubby got Brisket Fries, topped with slow cooked, tender, sweet brisket. OMG! I got the S'mac N' Cheeseburger to share. Cheesy, yummy patties with mac'n'cheese: had to use a knife and fork because it was too big to eat as stacked. Dropped a star because the last delicious piece of this shared meal was the Vanilla Bean milkshake with whipped cream. Not good though. It was not made right, as it tasted like milk with a little ice cream rather than a thick and creamy shake. Still, excellent food and we left pretty happy :) read more

They have many options including a vegan burger. We got buffalo chicken loaded fries, the southern bbq burger and the Z hot dog. The fries were perfect and loaded properly - they were our favorite.
