Kay's Country Kitchen in Orcutt used to be one of my all time favorite breakfast spots. I've been…read morecoming here since 2014, and for a while it was one of those places I couldn't wait to visit. I usually order the Kay's Orcutt Original with eggs, home fries (or hash browns), and a choice of meat, so I've had the same breakfast enough times to notice the changes over the years. My biggest gripe is the inconsistency. The eggs don't seem to be the same quality they used to be, but the biggest disappointment has been the potatoes. Their home fries used to be the best I've ever had. They were one of the main reasons I kept coming back. Now, it feels like you never know what you're going to get. More often than not they're undercooked, leaving the potatoes hard in the middle. On the rare occasion I mention it, the replacement usually comes back overcooked instead. It's frustrating because all I'm hoping for is the perfectly cooked home fries they used to be known for. I can't quite put my finger on everything that's changed, but the overall quality just doesn't feel as consistent as it once was. The food is still pretty good, and that's why I continue to support them, but I definitely find myself coming less often than I used to. This place used to knock it out of the park almost every visit. I genuinely hope they can get back to that level because I'd love to see one of my longtime favorite breakfast spots thrive again.

Run to Kay's Country Kitchen! We come to Santa Maria at…read moreleast once to twice a year for a sporting event and always venture out for food. Sunday mornings are meant to be leisurely but this time we were in a rush. We had actually slept in until 7am, normally up by 5am without alarms. The hubs event started at 9am so we made the quick drive for a to go order, calling two blocks from the restaurant after glancing at the menu. We both decided the first item on the menu we would try; Orcut Hash, did sourdough toast and homemade biscuit We had just a couple minutes to sit and order iced tea to go. Before the server could get us our iced teas our food was ready. It's super cute inside...can't wait to come back and enjoy the sit down restaurant. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Large alcoholic choice of drinks... really wanted that spicy Mary but since we were in a rush stuck with iced tea. The only 1 minute drive back to the gun range in Santa Maria was grueling smelling that gravy... We were both were thrilled at the large portions. It was amazing! I love gravy and could have used a little bit more but honestly I think it was fine for a normal person plus remember we go to go order so I suspect it soaked up a little on the drive. The staff threw in pepper and Tapatio which the hubs loves. I had Yellow Bird Blue Agave Sriracha in my travel trailer and used a little on it. OMG! It was so good! The potatoes had a nice crunch on them. That gravy was amazing. The biscuit was great, had a bite and saved the rest for later. The hubs managed to eat his whole plate and was stuffed! I might have eaten 1/4 of mine saving it for later. We will for sure be back!

This was my 3rd time coming to Blast 825 Brewery and this time was the best…read more Tonight me and wifey went on a double date with some good friends and chose this spot specifically for the beer, food and of course the Dodger game that was on tonight. We ordered a BBQ chicken pizza which was surprisingly delicious and the wife ordered a beer. We sat in the bar area and I decided to go with the self pour option where they give you a card to tap a sensor and select any beer on tap to pour yourself. Me and a buddy of mine had some issues with a few of the self pour taps where we just believed they were out of beer and it also over charged us. I told a server about my single issue where it over charged me and he said he would take care of it but my friend had the worst of luck. 2/3 beers he attempted to pour were simply out. This was when Jess, our savior came to the rescue. When it was time to pay the tab, she comped both of our orders. Mind you, I had 4 beers. Guess what the total was? Yeah, $28. Paid for my wife's beer and our pizza and because I had a single complication with the beer self pour station, she comped the 4 beers I had as well as my friend's order. This is Grade A customer service and a reason why I'd return to Blast 825 Brewery, so shoutout to Jess! We all appreciate you.

Management, I am writing to express my frustration regarding…read moremy recent visit to your establishment. I will add that we have been frequent customers since day one. While I had high hopes for a good meal, the experience was significantly marred by several issues: Poor Service: We were largely ignored, with staff failing to address requests. The restaurant appeared severely understaffed, leading to incredibly long wait times for service. It took 25 minutes to be asked what we were drinking, and another 20 minutes for two beers to arrive Food Quality Issues: The food served was of low quality, specifically corn rib appetizer were ice cold , the tri-tip was very over cooked and was difficult to chew. My wife ordered the orcutt hill salad entree. The salad was missing two ingredients. Prosciutto and candied pecans. When asked about it the waitress said I will bring you some. She brought a cup of smoked ham, not prosciutto. She indicated that the kitchen was out of candied pecans. Don't you think that should be disclosed to the customer before ordering ? The salad was small, not an entree size. When we asked about seeing a manager, we got a bill with a neighborhood 15% reduction. When asked about that, I was told, that's all the manager is willing to do. Really ? I hope you take this feedback seriously to improve the experience for future guests. Sincerely, A Disappointed Customer

There was a few Don't Tell Comedy shows in the back but I haven't seen them come there in a while. Food is usually great just as it is at Kay's. Only giving 3 stars because I have lost count how many times I've had my nights disrupted by planning to go down there for a drink with some friends to find that they abruptly closed before the advertised closing time. They vaguely state closing time as "till Close" without a specific time, but in many of their social media posts they list specific times and I've planned around those several times only to find the door shut and lights off with a sign on the door OR getting turned away if they're still inside cleaning. It's frustrating. Sadly there are not many liquor-licensed places in Orcutt. It's still worth going to get a drink or food, just make sure you have a backup plan.

When we arrived, we discovered that you need to order at the counter first, then take your number and find a seat in the dining area. With my son being in a wheelchair, it's always worrisome when they have this type of seating situation, as I am never sure if there's seating available, much less appropriate seating available for our family. However we lucked out and we were able to find a table right away. There's also counter seating available, and water is self serve with a dispenser in the corner . The food came out hot and fresh and tasted better than I expected! My pho ga had great flavor and the chicken was tender. My family also got pho tai, a vermicelli bowl and the bbq plate with lemon grass pork chop. Everything was excellent. The only frustrating thing about dining here is that there are no utensils on the table like most Vietnamese places I dine at, and frequently having to ask the staff for things that you've already asked for and they forget to bring gets annoying.

It was tender, flavorful, and actually looked like it came from a cow instead of a lab experiment. The eggs were cooked exactly how I ordered them, which shouldn't be noteworthy but somehow is these days. The hashbrowns were crispy, well-cooked, and managed the rare feat of not doubling as a sponge for a gallon of fryer oil. The only hiccup was our server, who apparently had an active restraining order against our table. Drink refills and check-ins were few and far between. Thankfully, the rest of the staff noticed we had been abandoned and jumped in to save the day. They kept the coffee flowing and made sure we had everything we needed. In the end, the food was excellent, the rest of the staff picked up the slack, and I left full, happy, and already thinking about what I'll order next time. If breakfast for dinner is your thing, Pappy's 101 is worth the trip.

So that immediately through the vibe off Once the food came out the guacamole on my Huevos Rancheros was dark green so it was very old guacamole on there, the entire plate looked like mush and it was very watery and runny. My wife's pancakes were horrible, the cooks for some odd ball reason must've been lazy or on a shortage of brain cells cause they stacked the pancakes with the bacon strips in the middle (bacon was chewy and seemed re heated in the microwave) and then finally they put the soggy eggs on the very top of the pancakes so the entire experience was horrible If I could leave no stars I would. I wish I could get my $40 back because that food wasn't even worth $10 This place used to be so good and now it's gone downhill bad.

We can always catch the game on one of the many TV's around the restaurant and we hardly ever have any problems getting a table. Yes it gets crowded and the wait can be a little long, but for half off appetizers and a laid back atmosphere I don't mind getting there early to try to beat the rush. The parking lot can be crowded during peak hours, but is manageable.
