Grabbed some sandwiches for the beach and this was a great local spot. They had a pretty large menu to choose from and the sandwiches came out really quick. I got the spicy turkey one which was delicious and quite flavorful. My bf got the Italian 3 meat one and we could not believe how large his sandwich was. All the portions were easily two meals per sandwich for us and the prices weren't bad! read more

Great Local Place. Service was fast even though it was during lunch rush. I had the: S.C.D.B.L.T. bacon, our own basil mayo, lettuce, and tomato on toasted sourdough + add sliced avocado And it was very good, a lot of bacon and the Basil Mayo was a good addition to the sandwich. Wish I lived in the area to try more of the menu. Very small shop but had a good amount seating. read more

One of the best sandwiches I've ever had! Hubby got the When in Rome sandwich with chicken breast, pesto, almond, and arugula which tasted like a beautiful lemony cheesy balance of flavors. I got myself the roast beef hottie which had an incredible kick with the sauce. Extra points for the finely, thinly sliced veggies. I would order this sandwich again in a heartbeat. read more

Generously portioned sandwich, big enough for two! The tri tip w/salsa was just too heavy on the chipotle sauce. Expected actual "salsa" in the sandwich. Delicious fountain drinks besides soda. read more

We went to South Coast Deli in Santa Barbara after one of our buddies told us that this was like his family's go-to spot every single time they came up here. He said it's a must every trip. He and his mom apparently have been coming here for years, and funny enough, they don't even get sandwiches. He said what they always get, and what they've always been known for, is their Cobb salad. So of course, I had to see what the hype was about. We had a little group with us, my wife and two other couples, and all of us decided to go for it and order the Cobb salad. I'm not even exaggerating when I say I was blown away by how big the bowl was when it came out. I was expecting a smaller salad plate or something basic, but this thing came out looking like a full-on meal for two. Huge, loaded, and just absolutely stacked with everything. The bacon bits, the blue cheese, the eggs, the dressing, all of it came together perfectly. The flavor was incredible, and every bite just worked. You could tell they use quality ingredients, and the balance of everything was just right. I'm normally not even a big Cobb salad guy, but this one completely changed my mind. I would one hundred percent go back just for that. Now, I did also get my usual Caesar with chicken, because that's my go-to whenever we go anywhere that has it. And again, really impressed. The chicken was cooked perfectly, the portion was big, and the dressing was actually great. It wasn't too strong or too fishy like some Caesars can be. It had more of a tangy, lemony flavor with that thicker yolky texture that I really like. I ended up finishing the entire bowl, which never happens with salads for me. Overall, I was really surprised by how good everything was here. It definitely lived up to what our buddy told us, and I can totally see why it's a local favorite. Between the portions, the flavor, and just the overall quality, it's easily one of my new favorite deli spots in Santa Barbara. So yeah, highly, highly recommend if you're in town. Especially if you're not normally a salad person, trust me, this one might change that for you. read more

The only issue with the Keep Calm and Kale On Salad is that it's the most addicting meal imaginable. It could probably be two meals but nobody has time for that kind of restraint. Each bite is a magical cheesy garlicky delight. While the dressing has a strong flavor, it isn't heavy handed. The sun dried tomato is the secret MVP in that it cuts through the absolute mountain of greens and provides a needed contrast. Meanwhile, the hearts of palm are pretty extraneous but that's not a reason for points off since the salad is highly customizable (I got mine without pine nuts or onions). While the space is clearly designed for a major takeout operation, it's still a pleasant and casual place to dine in with efficient service and friendly vibes. I'm not in Santa Barbara often but will definitely be back. read more

SCD is by far my favorite place in SB for a fresh salad! I love the variety of flavors and combinations on the menu. I do wish they had other options for protein on salads, specifically steak - but that doesn't stop me from going at least 2-3 times a month. I love that their San Roque location is now open on Sundays! The staff is always very friendly and their online order system is great for pickups! I usually get the protein, dressing, and toppings like chips on the side when I order takeout to ensure freshness! read more

The Service was going good as the cashier was very helpful with helping create a custom Sandwich until I had got confused with a item and overheard the cooks in the back talking about me saying all types of things insulting things like "Pendejo" and "Pinche Gringo" Thankful for the cashier but overall didn't like the way i got treated over a mistake hopefully they can improve. read more

Great sandwich, in and out quickly. There was no line, no real wait, and plenty of empty seats. They had some creative stuff on the menu, but I stuck with a basic Jim's Breakfast Sandwich (with bacon). Only thing I didn't love is that the young girl working wasn't very helpful with my questions as a first timer... the place was empty, what else was there to do? Also, no sides or house chips. A La Carte bags of chips are available if you want them. read more

I want to eat all the things here! The salad and sandwiches I've tried have been so good. The salad was super filling, I couldn't even finish it, and I'm a volume eater. I also got to try half the panini and it was fantastic. So good that I'm ready to try all the other sandwiches quality stuff from what I've had. It's cold cuts but that's what I'm looking for.

I was looking for a lunch spot, so I opened the Yelp app. Angela R, one of my Yelp friends, had just posted a review of this location of South Coast Deli. It was quite a coincidence because for about a week I had been saying I was in the mood for a Chinese Chicken Salad. Angela mentioned she had just tried, and loved the Asian Greens Chicken Salad. It sounded close enough to a Chinese Chicken Salad to me, so I drove over to South Coast Deli to give it a try. This was my first time eating at a South Coast Deli. I've been to the Goleta SCD location before, but when I visited the Goleta store it was lunchtime and it was crazy busy, so I bailed. With that in mind, I hit up this Carrillo location around 11 am to avoid the lunch rush. It was my first visit, but my wife has been a South Coast Deli customer for years. She told be the salads here are great, and they're huge. She wasn't kidding! I took my Asian Greens Chicken Salad home and split it with my wife. That salad was so large it filled two dinner plates. Plenty enough for two people, Check out my photos! I liked the Asian Greens Chicken Salad, I liked it a lot. The greens were crisp and crunchy, and kind of peppery. There were plenty of slices of tender chicken. I am allergic to raw onions and asked them to omit the green onions, which they did. I really appreciated that! And at $11.95, it's a pretty good deal! So happy I spotted Angela's review and gave this place a try. I can't wait to go back and try one of their famous sandwiches. Would I get an Asian Greens Chicken Salad again? Probably not. It was good, but I'd try a different salad if I was ever in the mood for a salad again. And it really didn't satisfy my craving for a Chinese Chicken Salad, so, yeah. Mikey C says: by the way, there are lots of Vegan and Vegetarian items on the menu here, too! Cool! read more

Another awesome South Coast Deli location. This one is right off State Street in downtown Santa Barbara. I ordered one of my personal favorites, the Buffalo Blue salad. The amount of chicken you get is very filling. The Buffalo sauce adds an awesome kick and the crisp lettuce is very refreshing. The staff was friendly and prepared the salad quickly and with the same quality you can expect from any South Coast Deli. 5 stars!!! read more

SCD aka South Coast Deli has always been my favorite place in town when it comes to salad cravings. Lately, I've been going to the Carrillo location, which is downtown and within walking distance from State Street. Highly recommend ordering ahead of time online or by phone. They tend to get busy here during the lunch rush. Seating is limited and tight quarters inside, but there are a few tables outside too. I usually order the Mexican Caesar salad, which comes with their creamy cilantro dressing. It is by far the best I've ever had and I always order an extra one so I don't run out. I like to get my salad dressing on the side so it's not soggy & it helps control how much I add to it. On my latest visit I finally switched it up and ordered their Asian Greens Chicken Salad. OMG! This one just might be by new go to! At least until I get tired of it. I loved the crunchy wontons and black sesame seeds! They really don't skimp on the crunchy textures here. The Napa Cabbage & Bok Choy were easily digestible and they hit another home run with their spicy sesame dressing. The sandwiches here are equally delicious and pretty hefty portions as well. No matter what you order here, you will not be disappointed! read more

Don't get me wrong I love south coast deli , and I their staff is always so friendly but I ordered a salad when I opened it , it smelled soo strong of blue cheese. I usually don't mind it but I only took 3 bites before my stomach started feeling funny. I was going to order a different item but I was on lunch and in a rush. I was disappointed in my salad I might stick to their sandwiches & I don't like disposing of my food but I simply knew I couldn't finish it. read more

Had a breakfast sandwich at this location . The best I've ever had, enough for two people or you only have to eat once that day

The sandwiches is SB! They do the classics and newer fusion. The Vit Nom Nom is a favorite. $13 dollars and my husband and I share it. Their sandwiches are always packed with ingredients. The breads are just perfect. There is seating inside and outside of the restaurant but fills up quickly during lunchtime. Staff is helpful and nice but make sure you listen for your name to be called. South Coast Deli doesn't not disappoint. read more

Delicious deli! My friends and I stopped by on our way to SLO and we were blown away. I shared a chicken pesto panini and an asian salad and the portion sizes are so generous! The asian salad can easily be shared amongst 4 people - we could barely make a dent. The chicken pesto sandwich was also very yummy! Street parking only. There is 1 unisex restroom. Service is fast and they have indoor and outdoor seating options. Lots of vegan-friendly sandwiches and salads as well - and they happily accommodate to any variations. read more

I was hungry. No other way to say this. I went to my phone randomly typing things to find something to eat. I passed by another store on my way to the office that smelled really good. I searched for them. Their menu was mehhhhh. And next I read the reviews... Thats how I found South coast deli. In the review, the writer said dont waste your time with this place. Head down the street to South coast deli. I looked over their menu and found a better selection of food suitable for the moment. I read the reviews on google and browsing through several. I didn't find anything wrong with what they offer. I walked in and left with a heavy pesto sandwich in my hand. Customer service was straightforward. I was helped immediately and managed a joke or two with the guy that served me. They were close to closing 20 minutes away. Back at the office. The sandwich looked similar to the one that was on google where the writer had nothing but good things to say. The sandwich: Flavor was great, classic pesto Chicken breast was flavorful, tender, and moist. Amount serve was a bonus ( didn't expect soo much) The bread was excellent and not harsh to my stomach Toasted to a crisp of perfection ( shocking) Temperature was the only thing that through me off I expected something hot, but it was about room temperature. No problem. I have a microwave. But it was too good for me to put down and place in the microwave After eating one half of the sandwich I was good.... Didn't need anymore. But my gosh.. It tasted so good I just wanted more. So nothing was spared I ate the whole thing With no ill effects to my stomach Only with a great review to write about this place I will definitely be back and I highly encourage anyone reading this hesitating to try this place.... Walk in and order. read more

Tossed out the buffalo chicken sandwich and scraped off the pesto on my When In Rome. So salty! We usually love these sandwiches but today they were extra salty! I telephoned the store to alert them about the issue, I suggested she try the pesto sauce to see if that might be too salty and said I couldn't determine if the buffalo sauce had too much salt or the chicken because it is mixed but that she try that too. Basically she offered me replacements but since no one else had complained, she said everything on their end is fine it was probably just our two sandwiches! Hmmmm. read more

I've visited three South Coast Deli locations and all feature pretty much the same reliably fresh ingredients in their salads and sandwiches. This location does not have a parking lot but their efficiency and customer service is comfortably on a par with their other locations. This downtown setting has a little less outdoor space but about the same seating as their other locations. I've come to love this reliable lunch spot that also does breakfast. Highly recommended and you must try their organic fountain sodas too. read more

Located near the heart of Santa Barbara, South Coast Deli-Carrillo is certainly a gem! If you're unable to park out front there is the Lobero Garage (you can find on Google Maps) behind the building (about a 2 minute walk, walking along the Deli's side alley) that offers free parking for the first 75 minutes! The staff were very friendly with great service provided. They offer certified-organic juices AND sodas on tap, as well as a selection of bottled drinks. Absolutely delicious beverages and one of the best (and biggest!) panini's I've had. I highly recommend everyone to visit South Coast Deli! read more
