    So when you show up for opening day of business it's usually a risky prospect. But they totally pulled it off!! Everything seems smooth the people were plenty knowledgeable definitely friendly and helpful. I got the smashburger with all the razzle dazzle and it was fantastic. I really like the chili in there too. The strawberry field salad was bountiful and delicious and the kids were happy with their PB&j :) so many of the items look amazing on this menu. I can't wait to come back!

    Kristi and her professional crew catered my son's wedding welcome party for 120 at our home. Even more than the absolutely delicious food (my son said it was the best tri-tip he's ever had), beautiful presentation (the appetizer table in my dining room was 5 star hotel quality), Kristi is like having your own party planner with excellent suggestions for service providers, decor, timing and coordination with party rentals. Her staff (mostly family) helped decorate, drew up the plan for the dining area, provided wonderful bartenders and support. And they do this with precision and a fun, pleasant attitude that gives any host confidence and relieves stress. Our guests not only loved every item on the buffet, but loved interfacing with Kristi and her wonderful crew. It was just the elegant but casual atmosphere we wanted to achieve....thank you, thank you with love!

    Absolutely DELICIOUS AND FULFILLING! It's a MUST that you dine here- high quality food- nicely seasoned and meats cooked just right. Offering a variety of hearty tasty apps and lunch and dinner foods:)

    Tried one of the most talked about BBQ spots in Santa Barbara and ordered the 2 meat combo with tri…read moretip and beef rib. It came with a huge chunk of bread, baked beans, and two sides. We went with double macaroni salad. The tri tip ended up being our favorite. It was juicy, tender, and packed with smoky flavor. We were actually more excited for the beef rib, hoping it would be super juicy and fall off the bone tender, but it didn't quite hit that expectation. It was still flavorful, just a little tougher than we hoped. The half and half sauce also had more spice than we personally prefer. The baked beans were delicious and paired really well with the meats. The only side that fell a little flat for us was the macaroni salad because it could definitely use a bit more flavor and dressing. Also taking off one star because the silver skin on the ribs should've been removed for a cleaner bite. That said, for the portion size and quality of food, the price was honestly very affordable. You definitely get a lot of food for what you pay for, which makes it a great BBQ spot if you're hungry and want something satisfying without spending too much. Overall, still a solid BBQ stop in Santa Barbara and definitely worth trying if you're craving smoked meats.

The food came out really quickly too. Our order came with plenty of food for two people. With our 2 meat combo came: - Tri-tip: Good! Meaty, not too dry, and went well with the half/half bbq and hot sauce. 4/5 - Pork Rib: ribs came out very tender, easily fell off the bone, and easy to eat. 5/5 - Coleslaw: Was pretty ordinary, a little too watery and the vegetables weren't as crunchy as I would like 3/5 - Macaroni Salad: Good! I liked the green (cilantro?) bits added to it because it didn't taste too heavy and wasn't too mayo-heavy 4/5 - Bread: Least favorite part, pretty ordinary bread and was nothing memorable 2/5 Would totally come back for lunch!

Parking is along the side of the road, parallel parking. RV's, trailers, big vans don't work here. We were lucky enough to park legally in a handicapped stall. Also I believe theres a no dog policy, I'm not sure why as you sit at picnic tables out side, also some inside seating. This is an old camp/cafe/stage coach stop built in 1868 or so, a days ride back then. The folks here have this dialed in the service. The menu is quote interesting, old spin on american favorites and yet something for most everyone. I went with the Bison Flank steak, medium I asked for a side of cole slaw. There was nothing exceptionally flavorful. In fact it was disappointing. The Bison was probably beef, flank is generally not a tender cut thats why its thinly cut and flash cooked The slaw as bland as it comes. I tried the fries, pass the ketchup please. The iced tea was very good, strong and tasted fresh. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal and the conversation about our meal choice lead to sampling. Good fun and a good group, they bought my lunch...so there are "free lunches" in life. Its worth a tuesday lunch visit, once in my opinion. foodguy-martin

It was disappointing because the salsa and flavors were so good. We also shared the elote corn and a half rack of ribs which were delicious - 5 stars! Next time we'll stick with the ribs and prime rib or pulled pork sandwiches. We're fans of the casual outdoor dining experience and the great BBQ.

That flat tire was definitely a blessing in disguise because without it, we wouldn't have found this incredible spot! This place is located in a business complex, and from the outside, it looks like a quaint little place, but the moment you walk in, it is HUGE! Tons of seating, a pool table, and outdoor patio. It's even dog friendly! Such a hidden gem. Not only that, but the food was INCREDIBLE! We tried everything on the menu, and we were all blown away. Each of my friends had a different favorite, which means that there's something for everyone, and I'm still drooling just thinking about it. Haha It's hard to pick favorites, but I especially loved the ribs and tri tip sandwich. The staff was SUPER friendly and took their time explaining the menu to us. They made us feel like close friends rather than customers. It's been awhile since I left a review for anything, but I knew I needed to give this place one because they deserve all the hype. I'll definitely make my way down here next time I am in the Santa Barbara area.

This visit was unfortunately our worst experience there by far. It was the first time we'd sat in the dining room instead of the bar. It was early - around 5:00. The happy hour buffalo chicken sliders and Brussels sprouts were good. However, things went downhill with our entrees. My tri-tip dinner (ordered medium rare) arrived as two thin slices of medium rare covering three slices of gray, well-done meat underneath. It was tough and tasted old - it seemed like the kitchen was trying to hide poor quality, overcooked meat. My partner's ribeye was cooked to the right temperature but extremely gristly - only about half of the twelve ounces was actually edible. When I sent my tri-tip back, our server (who was genuinely trying to help) returned to say they were out of tri-tip and a new one would take 45 minutes. By then my partner was halfway through his steak. I asked to just have the meat removed and I'd just eat my sides. Here's where it went from bad to worse: the manager (owner's daughter) charged us $7 each for the sides as "à la carte" items and argued when I explained I only ate them because that's all I had. She eventually offered 50% off the entrée but her confrontational attitude made things worse. The owner was more understanding when we escalated it to her, but the damage was done. Our server did her best in a tough situation - the issues were with the kitchen and management's handling of the problem. Really heartbroken about this experience at a place we've loved. We'll probably try again someday but will stick to burgers and salads at the bar.
