Urban Skillet: The Ultimate Halal Burger Experience in Santa Monica

I recently visited Urban Skillet for the first time, and it is a great spot in Santa Monica. I ordered “Original Skillet” burger with fries, and everything was really good. The burger was juicy and flavorful. I especially liked the beef - it was tender and when combined with melted cheese it tasted amazing. I did like sauce they put in the burger, it tasted perfect with meat. And it was perfect amount of sauce - not too much and not too little. The buns were soft and a bit sweet, just how I liked. I felt that all ingredients were fresh and well prepared. Fries were also delicious! It kind of reminded me of the animal style fries from in and out but not going to lie it liked this more. It tasted better, they were cooked just right, crispy and topped with a generous amount of cheese and sauce with some onions. Very good nice!!! The restaurant itself is clean and cozy. They have a good variety of menu items - from burgers to chicken wings. There are also few tables outside, which is nice to enjoy your meal outdoor. The staff was friendly and they cooked pretty quickly. I definitely recommend this place if you like burgers and I will definitely be coming back to try other burgers and sandwiches.

OG hotdogs are so good!!! Highly recommended! The thing is when we went there there was only one person who worked there? So we waited for some time to order our food. But worth the wait!! Sausage is super juicy. I miss the hotdog already!!

We absolutely loved this place! The hot dog and burgers were delicious, and the sauces were amazing. The service was very friendly and welcoming, you can really feel the good vibe. Definitely a spot we’d come back to!

I discovered Urban Skillet in Santa Monica through Heyla, and I’m so glad I did! This spot absolutely lives up to the hype.

The atmosphere is laid-back and modern, making it a great place to hang out with friends or grab a quick but memorable meal. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about the food they serve. While parking can be a bit tricky, it’s totally worth the effort once you taste the food.

I came across Urban Skillet on Heyla and decided to stop by to see what everyone was talking about. The food completely delivered. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with high quality halal meat. The fries were crispy and well seasoned, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming and lively. Service was quick and friendly. It is easy to see why this place is growing so fast. I will definitely be coming back.

Juicy HALAL burgers, delicious . The only things I didn't get 5 star was due to not having a clean table we sat down. But the food and the atmosphere was great.

This is a really good, halal, burger spot. I had the Original Skillet Burger and the Spicy Fries. The burger was juicy and delicious. The double smash is always a great choice and the fries were amazing and certainly spicy but tasted great. Great location, great food, I'd certainly come back to this spot.

Great place with few points to consider. 1. Very tasty and high quality burgers, the meat is actually Halal. Loved the food!!! 2. They do not serve alcohol in any kind, plenty of soft drink choices. 3. The cashier brought the food to the table. Barely talking to the customers and didn’t even ask if we need any kind of sauces. Perhaps they can improve this greatly so everything will be perfect then.
