A friend implored us to drive a few miles outside Santa Fe and find Bobcat Bite. We did, and do not regret it. I am an unabashed carnivore, so I ordered their 10 oz. green chili hamburger. The meat was fresh ground, lean, and cooked to perfection. Very simply put, it was the best hamburger I've ever had--bar none. My... More

This institution a little east of Santa Fe is being removed from the home of many years. They will be reopening in downtown Santa Fe and they deserve our support. There is simply no better hamburger to be had in New Mexico and I have eaten many in every corner of the state. The meat is indescribably tasty, moist, and... More

Per the newspaper, the long time managers who thought they were owners, are "out of here" because the landowner is taking over. There would appear to be no way that the place, if it continues to exist, will have much if anything to do with what has been such a deservably popular place. The former folks who built the reputation... More

You should visit before June 10! The current owners are having to move to a downtown location and will have the same wonderful green chile cheese burgers as they have always had but some behind the back activities of the original owners have created the need to move on. It will be sad but I know that so many current... More

The green chili burger is amazing and the staff very kind. We were seated in front of the window and we spent a very nice time watching the birds that came to drink water in front of us. Very recommended.

On May 11 it was announced that the owners are moving their business to the restaurant that's part of Garrett's Desert Inn. That;s right in town. They're moving because the owner of their current business stole their business from them. He quietly copywrote the name Bobcat Bite and is going to run it himself. So if you want to taste... More

This is the best burger in Santa Fe, perhaps in the whole Southwest and beyond. I only eat burgers occasionally, but when I do, this is the one I want. A local favorite is the green chile cheeseburger. It's a small space and seating is limited, so I often get my burger to go to avoid a wait since this... More

Have a place outside Santa Fe and grew up near Abq and have had my fair share of hamburgers and green chili but Bobcats has the best. Yes it is hard to get in at peak times but if you can have lunch early or late, it's worth it.

We've looked forward to this brunch all winter. The "Bite" is well off the beaten path and worth the trip. Wait was about 10 minutes; I'd have waited a lot longer in need be. Succulent burger, green chile with just the right amount of heat, and a fresh roll to hold it all together. This place is the standard bearer... More

Just a little "hole-in-the-wall on old Rt 66 just outside of town but worth the drive to enjoy the Best Burger in the area. We had the Bacon Green Chile Cheeseburger. A 10oz freshly ground chuck/sirloin burger, grilled to order and served up on a fresh baked bun. I love burgers and after the first bite I knew I was... More
