Rockfire Grill

Rockfire Grill is a great burger and pizza place smack dab in the middle of Isla Vista, the college community beside U.C. Santa Barbara. Cool island vibe all around with their Tiki lounge decor and reggae hits playing in the background. The lunch special of original flatbread burger (which comes with 2 patties), fries and drink is not only the most succulent, flavorful burger you'll have in Santa Barbara County, it also won't hurt your wallet. The flatbread is a great alternative to regular burger buns, being light and crispy, so you get more burger flavor and less dough. It is apparently baked the same time your burgers are cooked, making it all the more fresh! Their in-house sauces are very good as well, perfect for dipping your fries, sandwich, or pizza in. Staff was very helpful and courteous. Nice outdoor seating area, and also plenty of indoor dining. They even have a mini stage for karaoke nights! Small-ish parking lot, and good luck with street parking. Just don't get hit by students biking on auto pilot trying to not be late for class.

My bf and I were on our way through town riding down the coast when we stopped here for lunch. The gal behind the counter was very helpful and gave us some good recommendations. We each ordered our own burger and shared fries. The flatbread bun was AMAZING! Not too dense but not too light. It held up to the burger and the toppings. Only negative is that they were messy to eat, like quite a few good things. Will definitely stop again if in the area.

We stopped here for lunch before camping. Wonderful customer service; we were immediately greeted, invited to look at the to go menus, and seated outside. The server came shortly to give us recommendations for the freshly baked flat bread burgers. The 5 of my friends and I devoured the burgers with our condiments and beers. They even came to ask for refills for me and my dog and her water bowl. We all said we would come again!

Love the flat bread!! The burgers are a bit small but very tasty and the flat bread pizza is a smidge larger than the average personal size. Service is not a thing here, they take your order and that's it. Plenty of outdoor tables and their own parking lot with a dozen or so spots. Plenty of TVs and we don't have to worry about the kids being too loud here.

Headed to the beach and needed a meal before we went. After looking at restaurants near us, we decided to give this place a try. They do have a small parking lot next to them for easy parking. Upon arriving, we were greeted by Raj. Super friendly and helpful. He explained that they are based on flatbreads. And that the buns for the burger are placed in the oven at the time of your order. It is a flatbread bun. Which is great because its not only fresh but it does stand up to their burgers. We ordered the Texas two step burger and the New Yorker pizza. The burger was juicy flavored just right with onion rings, bbq sauce, and bacon with cheesey goodness. It was a very good burger!! We made it a combo so it would include fries. They gave us 4 different sauces to try, their house sauce (leaned into a bbq flavor), garlic aioli (not very garlicky), ranch (needs a bit more ranch kick), and the good ole standard ketchup. Next up the pizza. The New Yorker is a meat lovers dream. With pepperoni, ham, and sausage. The crust is of course the flatbread. It was good but to be honest, I liked the burger better. I would definitely be back to try other options. (With the pandemic, they can't do salads until everything fully opens.) It is a great place to eat. And the prices are fair. Its a must try if you haven't been here and a must go back if you have.
