That misleading listing is what caused me to book in the first place. When I discovered the error, I called to cancel. I asked three times whether a refund would be approved. Three times I was told yes, the manager would take care of it the next day. Don't worry, it's fine. So I trusted them. The next morning: denied. No refund. No explanation. No accountability. Because I trusted their word, I lost the window to just bite the bullet and make the hour drive to and from family. I had to book a second hotel out of pocket, stretching my budget in a way that was genuinely costly. All because a staff member couldn't simply say "I don't know" instead of giving me false assurances to get off the phone. This isn't a miscommunication. It's a lack of integrity. Do not rely on anything you're told verbally here and think twice before booking at all.

Almost didn't come here as thought we'd end up with the same... Upon walking in we were greeted by hostess right away asking if we wanted to dine in bar, dinning room or patio. It was a nice night and contemplated patio but the bar lounge area looked inviting and chose the space with hair on hide backed booth and comfy chair. I settled in the corner booth, it was so comfy. Such a nice treat from the night before on hard wooden chairs at that other place... Our waitress was so nice and friendly. She was slammed but very attentive. Sitting back and watching the very busy bar, you saw locals coming and going and staff knowing them all. So encouraging. We settled in on the Bullseye, the largest version aka Ribeye and shared it. I went ahead and added an extra salad for me and just shared the rest of sides. Comes with a shrimp cocktail with the babiest shrimp, I've never seen them that tiny. I don't rate sea food so I just watched. The hubs likes sea food but prefers fried shrimp. He ate a few bites but again it's not really his thing. I got the side salad with ranch and he got clam chowder. He loved his clam chowder. I was pleasantly surprised at the mixed green salad. Everything was great! Steak cooked perfectly with great taste and tender. Baked potato was so good. The beans had a great taste, I'm not a huge bean person but something was up and I enjoyed a few bites and two slices of bread drenched in the bean gravy juice, so good! I asked for a side of chimichurri sauce (saw it on the menu), I used that for my steak and it was a great flavor adder; it didn't need it I'm just a sauce condiment person. We were stuffed but I decided to get dessert to go. Settled on the flourless chocolate mousse cake. Before leaving notice a couple tables over had what looked like a chocolate cake square with ice cream on top. I was hoping that wasn't what I ordered... because I was expecting more torte/mousse. Upon arrival at our RV I checked and yes I got what I was expecting! Even stuffed I just had to have a bite, OMG! So amazing. The slice of mousse cake/kinda like a soft torte came with fresh raspberries, strawberries and mint. A bite of that chocolate with a berry was heaven! The restaurant has such a great feel, think decor you'd find at ranches in Texas, plush seating, cattle pictures. We felt at home and can't wait to come back. Planning on the hubs getting his chowder us sharing beef skewers and a twice baked potato. He might just get two bowls of chowder! Then more dessert as they have a pastry chef on staff who likes to change up offerings.

The bartender was really on top of things, and I could tell he really knew what he was doing. I asked to taste a couple of the reds, and when he didn't have one downstairs, he poured me a taste of another Pinot Noir to sip while he ran upstairs to get the one I'd asked about. They serve many good wines, both very local and from other California regions. Some of the interesting local ones include a few varietals from the local Allan Hancock community college's viniculture program. The Allan Hancock ($9/glass) 2023 Pinot Noir was pretty impressive! Fruity and young. I also very much enjoyed the Kleemeier (also Santa Barbara County) 2024 Pinot Noir, which belied its young age in the best way ($12/ glass). This space has the bar and some soft seating, and around the corner is another seating area that looks like a wine cellar. Very cozy and cute. I will return.

The building is from 1917 and you can feel it everywhere.... dark wood, stained glass, a ship model in a glass case, an old house telephone booth, a hand-painted figurehead hanging from the ceiling holding lanterns. It's not trying to be charming, it just is. The tri-tip sliders and pretzel bites were so good I forgot to take a picture before they were gone (especiallythe tri tip sliders). Happy hour pricing made the whole thing even better. Seriously, if you're anywhere near Santa Maria, make the drive. I'll definitely be back and I'm a little annoyed it took me this long to find it! Tim the bartender was also outstanding. Friendly, warm and informative and of course a great bartender.

Always loved the Me n Ed's style , always is a nice touch and a great way for us to enjoy a day out. Food was great, we took up their current special for 2 of their Medium Pizza's for just $20 ($10/each) for the family. As we were ordering however, we also had an online coupon for a free garlic cheese bread on our next visit, as we presented it the cashier they were almost confused as to where we even got it, despite it was the official website as we had signed up on our last visit. Another server, Joseph, who at the time was cleaning tables and wasn't even on cashier duty, overheard what was going on and stepped in right away, was able to pull up the code for the free garlic bread, and finished up our order for the evening. We personally wanted to Thank Joseph once again, not just for the fact that he helped us with the issue, but how he went about handling the issue was what made us feel better about who was working here, he Has the perfect personality for his job and couldn't ask for a better server. We made extra sure his great customer service was accounted for by my husband giving him an extra tip. We tend to notice the best and employees who actually care are the least ones there, Definitely made our experience more memorable and worth coming back for. Last time we went around early june, it was an utter mess, from ugly wait times, (almost 40 mins for a large pizza and a side of wings) to many orders including a side we ordered got skipped and to remind the staff our selves, I worked as a waiter for a couple years, I get it, from what i noticed it was just poor management from whoever is at the top of their establishment. They were all over the place. it has majorly improved given the customer service has been a bit better aswell as the phone is now being answered at times it would usually just get ignored aswell. -- No wait unless it's a busy day, then the only wait is for the quality foods to be perfected and brought to your table. Highly recommend for vegetarians they also have Gluten free option for their pizza depending on the size Plenty of parking space & Wheelchair accessible.

We were greeted when we came in by Tucker but we didn't know what we wanted and he asked if he could get the call, I said yes we aren't ready yet, so as he was on the phone he read off the special's so we listened in and was so polite & patient in explaining the order back to them on the phone. When he hung up he thanked us for waiting and asked if we knew what we wanted, I gave him the order, a large pizza with sausage, black olive, mushrooms then on half pepperoni and a house salad and 2 drinks. Tucker brought us out are salad and ask if we needed anything else but we were good with what he gave us. The salad was very good, had just the right amount of toppings and dressing were good tasting. The pizza came out just as we finished are salad. It was nice and hot, good cheese pull and the taste I remember as a kid, what memories it brings back of having pizza with my family. We couldn't finish the large pizza but didn't want to waste it, so I saw Tucker cleaning up and ask him if he could get some tinfoil or plastic wrap so I could put it in are cooler for the ride back to Orange County and he said he could do that for me, took my pizza and wrapped it up and ask if we wanted a can't container but I said just the way he wrapped it would be fine. Tucker was so helpful, polite and went out of his way to make are experience great. He even said to tell are friends about it. Next time we are in Santa Maria we will definitely be back.
