Decent food and a great place to meet up with little ones in tow. The atmosphere is super relaxed (picnic type) and is generally very busy on the weekends. Kids like the open play area with sand pits, the train near by, and freedom to run around in a safe environment. read more

I have gone several times yet today the fish and shrimp tacos was less than impressive. Tasteless and cold.

We visited Carpenteria to get some driftwood on the beach. While visiting we were checking on Yelp where to have brunch. It was a Sunday and two of the restaurants with high reviews were closed. We went to another restaurant and did not like menu or vibes. We ended up at Pass to Beach Grill and was pleasantly surprised. The food was great and the atmosphere even better. We will be returning soon and have recommended it to many people. read more

Omg. This view is EVERYTHING !!!!! Will definitely be coming back again. Fabulous outdoor area. I can only imagine how packed they are on the weekends. I luckily was able to experience this place on a Friday afternoon. While everyone is stuck in traffic. lol. But I'll be in the traffic soon as well. Haha read more

Looked for a recommended place as we were traveling through, and this one had great reviews. Decided to stop and walked in at 732 on a Friday night and was told by someone they were closed already. Another person walked in behind me and was told the same thing. Well they should fix their website so that it reflects their hours of operation accurately! Besides what type of resturants closes at 730 on a Friday night. read more

Have a kid and want to enjoy a drink while they entertain themselves? This is the place for you. We bought our 1 year old twice over the weekend and loved the atmosphere as much as our babe. Fish tacos were really good. BBQ Chicken salad was meh. Oreo shake OUT OF THIS WORLD. Truthfully, who cares what they serve... being able to have a drink in peace while my toddler plays with other kids is priceless. read more

Very cool outdoor restaurant. Burgers, fish and chips, salads, right by the beach. Enjoy stopping in for a good burger when we are passing by. read more

3/5 stars for poor service. The food is relatively good especially the chicken. Chicken sandwich and chicken salads are damn good. Unfortunately at night the place seems to be run by kids. They never answer phone orders and typically get your order wrong. Also much slower at night to get food out than during the day. If you aren't going to take orders or care about your customers at night just close down after lunch. 3.2/5 stars. My brother says try the chopped cobb salad. read more

The food is fine. The real reason to go there is the oceanfront views. This place would be great for a party or larger group in good weather. read more

My favorite lunch spot in Santa Barbara! Been going here with my family for years! A truly fun and unique outdoor eating experience. Great for all ages. Their hickory burger is one of my favorite burgers in California. Also some of the best onion rings and sweet potato fries I have every had. It's also right next to the beautiful Santa Clause Beach! read more

If you're looking for the most beautiful place to eat in Carpinteria, this is the place to go. Simply beautiful. It would be your favorite burger, but you'll go back & order it again. read more

Order at the counter, eat al fresco! We had lunch with ten people. The accommodating menu has something for every diet. There were a fair variety of dishes ordered by our group. Everybody was pleased. Fresh, hot, delicious. The dining area is outside and beautifully landscaped. There are many picnic tables with umbrellas, a sandbox area for children. The environment can be noisy as the restaurant is wedged in between the train tracks and the 101 freeway. They are, however, a matter of 50 yards from the beach which brings it own pleasant, cool air and a beautiful view to the general area. All in all, a great place to have lunch. read more

we came for a little stroll while passing by on the way back home from our solvang trip. this is a little stripe of shops and a restaurant right by the beach.the area is VERY chill. we arrived just before lunch on a sunday and while there was no crowd at first, it got pretty busy by lunch time. we had some beer (island brew) and sweet potato fries and sat in the outdoor area overlooking the beach. it was a beautiful day! the entire dining area is pretty much outdoors. they have picnic tables with umbrellas and a little play area for the kids. i noticed this place is very popular with families with little kids. their beer on draft was approx $3 for a pint and even though we didnt eat anything other than just the side of fries, everything on their menu were big in portion and cheap! it's definitely worth a quick stop here if you ever pass by. read more

This place was so cute! They had a lovely lawn to relax on while you nosh on a delicious burger or salad, of course washed down with a shake. We were able to watch the sun set over the ocean from here. We didn't get to see the live music, but it seems like a really cute setting for it! And the service was very friendly. read more

We hadn't been to the Grill for a while, but stopped the other day on the way home from Carpinteria. My fish tacos, Baja style, we're exceptional. My friends shrimp were likewise. The portions were on the light side, but while that worked for me, my friend remained hungry. We also ordered a basket of sweet potato French fries which were exceptional and helped fill him up. All in all a good place to stop. Looks like maybe under new management, with much remodeled. You can eat in the cafe or outside at one of the multiple picnic tables spread across the well-planted yard. read more

Food is always decent for being a beach grill and casual place. My kids have fun playing in the sandpit. We've been here many times and always leave happy. read more

Wow! This will now be a regular stop for the family whenever we're driving through. Feels like you're at a friend's house, hanging out in their backyard for lunch. Nice big open lawn, play area with sand pit for the kids, and a very relaxing feel. Food wasn't great, but i don't think you're necessarily coming here for that. Actually, it's probably nice that you don't have to pay $15 for a burger.... Just an easy relaxed spot to hang out and enjoy a quick meal. read more

I was very impressed with this local food hub. My fiancé and I were staying the night in Carpinteria for our Valentine's Day weekend, and I wanted to make sure that I took him to a scenic and delicious spot for dinner. After scouring Yelp for places with good reviews, I finally decided on this little place. I was so pleasantly surprised not only with quality in food, but also the friendly staff and ambiance. This location is definitely the perfect place for a cute date night or even family event. The seating area gives you the option of porch seating with cozy chairs and heaters, or outdoor seating with picnic tables and a really cute grassy layout. The food was amazing and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to try something new! read more

Padaro Beach Grill - Pretzel Bun Burge & Tri Tip Sandwich - American Near Me - Carpinteria, California

Love this place! First timer here and had heard about this place for years so glad we finally went. After a long day at the beach this was a great stop before heading home. Line was long when we arrived on a Sunday about 5:30 pm but it moved quickly. Food came quick and we were all happy with our meals. Husband ordered a Burger that was so tasty and I ordered the Cobb Salad which was great too. Fresh ingredients and our friends enjoyed their meals just as much. Can't beat the sandbox entertainment for the kids either!! Will be back for sure! read more

Tried the Baja fish tacos they were fresh and yummy! We added a salad and split both between two.. perfect!

Great place for adults and kids. Second time here. Had the hickory burger with fries and onion rings. I like how the place opens up for the kids to play. read more

This is a fantastic stopover for parents with children. The setting is lovely and kids have a blast. The burger is decent and the prices are just right for what you receive. The shakes were good too. My only complaint is the food could use a little tweaking to make the overall experience better (and attract local repeat visitors). The fish tacos are way underseasoned. The fish should be salted, the batter should be seasoned, and the slaw should have some flavor. It took some work to salt and season it all up myself an the effect was not the same. \ The burgers are quite tasty, but while tending to the kids I let it sit and it sogged up the bun really fast. A toasted bun would add many points to the burger score. Can't beat the location though and if you keep the order simple its perfect. read more

Perfect stop as we headed up the coast. SO great we hit it again on the way back down. Their food is yummy - the house salad is amazing, huge and fresh. The beach club was very good, quality ingredients. My son loved the kids burger. You order at the counter then find a table out back, in the large yard with a kids sand pit (toys provided!) The area is fenced in so the kids dont wonder across the train tracks or down the beach. I would go here every week if we lived close by. Only thing it was missing was music. read more

Very enjoyable little spot. Right on the water and they have a beach you can play at, I didn't play but my little girls did and had a great time! I enjoyed the burger I had and my wife really enjoyed the food. The staff was really cordial and treated my family with respect, I would definitely make my way back here when visiting my sis. :) read more

I would say this place was good, not great. The menu is a fairly good size. Burgers, sandwiches, tacos and beer and wine. I ordered the Baka fish tacos and was actually pretty disappointed in what I got. 2 small tacos with small pieces of fish. Tortillas were so soggy from the pico de gallo that when I picked up my taco the tortilla ripped. It came it a mound of chips. It seems like we payed 9.25 for chips. My boyfriend ordered the prime burger. He said it was cooked well, the only thing was the patty could have been bigger. I think the next time we come here I'll try ordering something other then the tacos. read more

Fish and chips were cooked to perfection! My husband ordered the shrimp tacos which where also so so good!!! The view along with the amazing food was so peaceful. This place is a must try! read more

This place is nice. It was crowded but the line moved really fast and the food came out quickly too. It had a wide variety of items on the the menu. The food however wasn't anything special for the price and sides are not included so a burger with fries and cost upwards of $10 adding a drink and tax and it's close to $15. The patio seating area provides a nice environment to eat in but you have to watch out for the birds and bugs. All in all it was a nice place I'd eat here again if I had to but it wouldn't be my #1 choice. read more

I try and stop here anytime I am driving up the coast. Good moderately priced fast casual food but the reason to stop here is to sit out at a picnic table on the cool green lawn and gaze out at the ocean. So relaxing to either celebrate your escape from So Cal traffic or as the last bit of vacation before heading back to reality. read more

I try to come here whenever friends of mine visit from out of town. I love coming to this place after a day at the beach. The atmosphere and vibes here are just out of this world. It's a beautiful area. Of course the food is great, especially the calamari! I recommend everyone to come here!! read more

Perfect place to stop with the kids on the way to or from SB. The sand put for the kids was a hit. They sell beer as wine too! Only negative was that I didn't love the fish tacos- not enough fish, too much lettuce. read more

Good food, always busy, but they have an awesome cobb salad. Take my girlfriend and family here, good sweet potato fries! And kids menu isn't age restricted! Win win. read more

Great restaurant. My family went last night and we were very impressed. Service was great, food was great, especially the Hickory Burger and Onion Rights. If you want a totally chill place to hang out and eat a good burger this is your place. Nice that you can bring kids and let them play, but even better that you can sit away from playing kids and relax. You can tell the new owners have really reinvented the restaurant. read more

Phenomenal place to eat. I has the Hickory burger, that was so damn delicious!! Will be coming back for sure!!!

Absolutely adorable place! Great quick service, great food. Nachos delicious! Cobb salad fresh! Burger was just ok. Would come again.

This was my first visit to Padaro Grill and attended a private small group gathering. First of all the setting is outstanding, on the beach and in a really nicely laid out area. Secondly, the staff were super - from our arrival and throughout the evening, literally catering to our needs. Finally, the food was much better than you'd expect in a beach setting. Five stars, definitely. read more

Came for dinner on a slow night. Manager gal was super rude. Just not friendly at all and seemed put out to answer some questions. Once home we both had horrible stomach aches. Location is beautiful but the meal and service not so good... read more

Lots of kid friendly aspects, lots of potential, but still needs some ironing out the kinks. Not the most efficient right now when they get a rush. Fries were cold, burger not cooked to order. Still wasn't bad, but seems like this place will get better. read more

I love the atmosphere! The burger I got was epic. Simple but the meat was quality and fast service. Will definitely recommend this!!

Picked this place as a pit stop for my two year old daughter...did not disappoint. Grilled ahi sandwich was great and fresh, with a brioche tasting bun. Great grounds, well kept, and of course awesome sandbox for my daughter! Right on the beach...refreshing pit stop on our way to SF. FRIENDLY STAFF!! read more

Stopped by on a day trip to Santa Barbara based on a friend's recommendation. It was a beautiful day & the ample outdoor seating provided a nice view of the Pacific while we had our burgers, beers & wine. The food was pretty good (fish tacos were fresh & tasty) & I liked the chardonnay they had on tap. The only thing I'd ding them for was the woman who took my order - she was not friendly at all! No greeting, no friendliness, etc. There were 3 of us who each ordered at different times & we all agreed she was pretty cold/unfriendly etc. Not the best introduction to a new spot but I'd come back to enjoy the food & view. read more
