The food is amazing! My husband and I had medium rare burgers and they were some of the best burgers we ever had so we went back to get more. This time, my husband tried the tomato soup with the grilled sandwich with cheese and bacon and it was very delicious. The sandwich had the perfect combination of softness and crunch. I also got french fries and they were very tasty.

Great grilled cheese and tomato soup! Perfect combo for a cold Santa Cruz night. My partner had the burger and said it was really good.
The chef and bartender were super friendly.

Cool little place you get to by walking down the ally behind the club on the bottom floor. Wasn’t sure what to expect from $20 Mac n cheese, but the chef didn’t disappoint! I couldn’t stop eating even after I was stuffed. The flavors came together perfectly. You just walk up to the counter and order like you would from the bar. The chef/owner was really nice and would explain anything.

This is one place you need to experience in Santa Cruz.
You may walk up stairs wondering if you’ve entered the right place but you know you have when you get a warm welcome from Chef Donnie and the awesome bartenders here.
Key Notes:
– First off best Burger in Santa Cruz and I’ve tried a ton of joints here
-Beef Tallow Frying Oil used on the killer seasoned French Fries
-Best Ingredients (healthy) sourced locally in Santa Cruz
-Family Secret Sauces **passed down for generations**
-And a DJ pumping the Jams to get the body moving

Don’t mind me (I’m the plaid jacket, I just finished a boxing class)…

Super creative small menu inside of Ulterior, Chef Donnie creates some seriously tasty meals! He has a great attitude which makes the whole experience even better. It’s impossible for me to pick a favorite thing I’ve had but the burger is pretty dang tasty.

We are pleased that we were able to try a couple of Food Talk’s yummy dishes last night. The Caesar salad/buffalo chicken wrap perfectly balanced the Caesar dressing and buffalo sauce, and the mac & cheese Wellington offered the cheesiest of experiences. Both dishes were covered with a delicious grated Reggio parmigiana, and when I commented on it to Donny, he sent us home with a little sample of this delicious cheese! We are encouraging all of our friends to grab a bite at Food Talk Santa Cruz upstairs from Motive in the Ulterior space on Pacific Avenue.

Super rad spot downtown! The secretive speakeasy door leading upstairs starts the cool vibe of this place. It feels like you’re being let in to an ultra-secret food experience. Once you’re upstairs, the food and service is absolutely amazing. Awesome creative menu with seasonal updates. We had the burger and mac n cheese with pork belly. Both were exceptional! I would post a pic but I licked the plate clean. If you’re in Santa Cruz, this is a must-stop!

Easily one of the tastiest spots in Santa Cruz- you can tell a lot of love & craft goes into the food here. Burgers are second to none!

Burger is elite. So so strong. Nice place to hang out. We didn’t get cocktails but felt like that was the way to go since their beer game is severely limited and they don’t seemed psyched to serve it.
