Against my better judgment I feel I must leave this review. Just had the best brunch ever! Rolled in at 10am on a Saturday. Got a table right away. This is why I didn't want to leave a review, because I hate waiting for breakfast. I'm not eating pork these days and their menu had plenty of options. Had the Harvest Benny. Perfectly balanced flavors, rich and satisfying but not too heavy. We are making Suda brunch a regular weekend stop now. Zealand, our server was exceptional. Great smile and knowledgeable about the menu. Even upsold me in the Irish coffee which was excellent. Thank you! read more

Very cute spot with a nice patio and chill vibes inside. We were seated before our full party arrived (they were stuck in traffic) and were immediately brought water and our drink orders were taken. The service is super quick, and the staff are welcoming and kind. The food was phenomenal. Many vegetarian options, as well as gluten free optional items. I usually struggle to find things I can eat, and this time I was struggling to decide what to choose! The deviled eggs were divine, the cauliflower was perfection, and I got the harvest Benedict which was served on potato latkes. Unique and delicious! They have a parking lot next to the restaurant, but it can fill up pretty quickly. I will definitely be returning! read more

I had the spicy chicken sammie opted with sweet potato fries b/c my gf wanted them. The Sammie was good and the chicken was hot! The fried were unexpectedly crispy, which I love. And the ketchup I believe is house gussied.. You'll have to ask for more.. The bottom was burnt, but the chicken was hot, it wasn't a problem. read more

Good burgers. We had Suda Burger and Pit Boss. I would avoid blue cheese on burgers, so going with Suda Burger would be a saver choice. They make solid burgers. Service was good. Sweet potato fries were interesting: they gave both crinkle cut and normal ones. So, it had a variety in their crunch. Ambiance was, as expected, upbeat and cozy. We sat inside. If you are up to it, you can try outside as well. read more

My friend took us to Suda for brunch on a Sunday around 11am. We did a walk-in and were seated right away in their dog-friendly outdoor patio. Overall service was great. Our server was very friendly, and the food came out quickly. I cannot rave enough about how fantastic the food was. I had the fried chicken sandwich, my husband got the Suda burger, and our friend got the BLTA salad. I loved my order, but I will go as far as saying that everything I tried would've been a solid choice. Get the fried chicken sandwich! Aside from it being an overall excellent sandwich, it had the best fried chicken I've ever had bar none. The chicken thigh was moist and juicy on the inside, but the extra crispy breading was what made it a winner. I just loved all the textures this sandwich had to offer. It also had peanut crisps in a hot chili oil, which attributed to the crunch and flavor. I'm so glad I got the sweet potato fries. They were made to perfection. Crispy on the outside but melts in your mouth. read more

What an awesome restaurant! Great food, great service, dog friendly! We stopped in for lunch and sat outside with our dogs, lovely setting with covered sitting. Ordered the deviled eggs, BLTA on sourdough, fish tacos and the eggs Benedict. Everything was very tasty and my BLTA came with shoestring fries, nicely fried. The fish tacos come (3) to an order and come with cabbage and an awesome sauce. Perfect afternoon family gathering place. read more

Suda is an absolute gem! I met my dear friend there for a belated birthday brunch on a sunny Sunday, and our reserved outdoor table under dappled, filtered sunlight was pure magic. I started with a spicy Bloody Mary that hit the spot--zesty, bold, but never overwhelming. My BLTA was perfection: three thick, crispy slabs of bacon, juicy heirloom tomato slices, ultra-crisp lettuce, and buttery ripe avocado, all nestled on lightly toasted sourdough. The kale Caesar on the side was a revelation--fluffy clouds of grated Parmesan with a whisper-light, delicate dressing that somehow made kale feel luxurious. We finished with a stunning mango vegan dessert that was as beautiful as it was delicious. My friend's vegetarian Eggs Benedict on latkes was gorgeous and she couldn't stop raving about the taste. Warm service, dreamy setting, and every bite a delight--I can't recommend Suda enough! read more

We got a coupon!! so went for saturday lunch. it wasn't busy so we were able to pick a nice booth. the interior is SO pretty. it's nice if u wanna impress someone feeling all fancy but the food is pretty casual. ANYTIME I SEE PRAWN TOAST, I get it. it's simple, really. What showed up was very surprising! It was very crispy and oily on the outside and was chock-full of dense shrimpy stodge on the inside. the best part for me was the avocado(?) aioli on top. like holy hecking i need the recipe. this was a special dish though, i think they rotate them. The burger we had was pretty standard & served with ketchup. HACK: half and half chips :P i liked the sweet potato a lot. they have good selection of beer to choose from, lots of local which i love the martini was.. mid-tini though. overall good service, ok food and drink, and ya! read more

Suda - Amazing Steak, local mushrooms, and potatoes! - New American Near Me - Santa Cruz, California

Average food. I would say the salad with the beets was the highlight of the meal. Brisket tacos were not great but edible. Chewy and lots of raw cabbage mostly. Service was fine. Nothing remarkable. A little dark inside. Works fine for something close by. read more

My friend recommended Suda and I'm so glad she did. This has easily become one of my favorite spots. They are child friendly which as a new mom I very much appreciate. They have a kids menu, high chairs and a changing table. The food is consistently amazing. The hummus and queso are perfect for sharing. My favorite dish is the short rib pasta. It's warm and delicious and packs a little spice. I could drink the Suda 75 all night! read more

Beautiful interior. Slow everything (drinks, food, water refilll) on the Sunday afternoon we went. My partner ordered the chicken sandwich and said it was good! If you're vegan, just be aware that all of their dressings contain honey, except their green salsa. Unfortunately it's not listed, but our friendly server was kind enough to let me know. They weren't able to provide oil and vinegar so I went for the green salsa, which threw off the balance of the vegan breaky bowl. I suspect it would have come together really nicely with their miso tahini dressing. Not sure why they wouldn't just use agave instead of honey in at least this vegan dish, but not identifying the honey in a dish labeled vegan is egregious. read more

I love it here - everything is good. Really good truffle burger and poke bowl. The kale salad is also one of my favs. We need more places like this in Santa Cruz read more

I've been going to Sudas since it's opening. They have a varied menu of delicious food options. It does change every now and then to keep things interesting. They offer a great breakfast/brunch especially on the weekends. Outside has heaters will keep you warm. Great full bar and friendly staff. The only thing I wish was that they would bring back some of the older cocktails. They had a nice but extensive cocktail menu that had some wonderful creative choices. I understand it was most likely difficult to keep all of those special ingredients to make these drinks. It just would be great to offer maybe two a month on a rotating cocktail menu especially the seasonal ones like Zuzu's Petals. read more

Found the food interesting and the vibe lively! All of the waitstaff was very attentive and efficient. Only suggestion is more gluten free/non meat options (both of these). The cauliflower burger is dried so it's not gluten free friendly, and there's not many dishes for those that don't do either. The Brussel sprout appetizer was a standout! Very eclectic flavors and concepts read more

Great brunch experience! Good food and good drinks. Fast service and lots of variable space. Bar, indoor, and outdoor seating with heating available read more

Such a cute restaurant with a vibe when you enter. I hear the menu changes consistently, so I'd be down to come back. I opted for the lox baguette, which was filling. I need to try their creams brûlée French toast next but my diet says no. Service is nice and it's a cozy place to dine. Love how there's a lot of parking in the lot. read more

Been here twice for lunch and dinner. The staff have been very nice and helpful both times. I tried their blta which was delicious and suda burger which was also very good. I tried one of their mock tails, I believe it was the point break refresher, which was very good. Both, the inside and the outside, are very pretty. I definitely enjoyed sitting outdoors as it was a beautiful day! There is some parking in the back, and although limited, I did not have an issue with finding parking. I can't wait to try more things! read more

Arrived with a large group of 6 on a Sunday for lunch. We did have a reservation already made, the only thing they failed to tell us was that it would be directly in the sun...Our drinks kept melting so quickly, as did the water every time we asked for more. Unfortunately I think that's falls on the host bc she seemed a little lost and a bit unfriendly. Our server on the other hand was really quick, nice, and trying to accommodate us as best as she could. Drinks and appetizers came out quick, entrees as well. Food was all delicious and quick service. Thanks to the chefs! Check them out. read more

Always looking for dog friendly spots after walking the beach. Suda was a hit! My partner said his Naughty Boy Burger was the best he's ever had. The bun is sweet & fresh. I had the Suda burger. It was really good, too. We ate outside due to the dog but the inside looked really fun- dark, cool, and vibey. Looks like a great place for alcohol if you drink. Huge bar menu. People dining around us said they enjoy the French Toast, fish tacos, & salads at this place. Our server, Diego, was attentive & friendly. Our dog liked him and vice versa. Check out Suda- outside on the patio or inside. Cool place! read more

Had an incredible time, Ms. Kiana's service was phenomenal and the food was flavorful. The wonderful hostess seated us at what felt like the best seat in the house inside, with a full view of the outside fireplace. It was my husband and I's first date night as newlyweds. Natural wine was delicious. read more

Yum! I came here once due to a gift card, and I'm glad I did! I got the cauliflower burger and arugula salad. Yum! The staff was nice, and we were able to be seated right away. Service was pretty fast, and it looks like they have fun drinks too! read more

So good please go there. My dad works here and the food is really good. Dessert and everything.

great food, great drinks, and great vibes. what more could you ask for? we love that the menu was pretty small because sometimes too many options is not a good thing and can be overwhelming. the baja snapper tacos were delicious and the sauce they put on them was amazing. the batter on the fish was a little dry and bland by itself, but all together the coleslaw and sauce made this dish super yummy. the mac and cheese was nice and creamy with a great crunch from the breadcrumbs. it was the perfect size appetizer to share between two people. the short rib ragù was delicious and packed with flavor. the meat was really tender and the meal was super filling. this place is definitely worth checking out! read more

I had a wonderful lunch on the patio in the sun. My friend and I had the seasonal salad with the prawns. Everything was so yummy. The server was attentive with perfect timing. Added bonus was all of the fur friends that are allowed on the patio. The food is a very good value with most items on the menu being under $20. Highly recommended. read more

The food was really good and the female server was very kind. I wish I got her name because she deserves a shout out. My mother in law has celiac and she made sure that the chef knew. Chairs were comfortable and the lighting was nice. I only give it 4 stars instead of 5 because I payed for 5 people and it was hefty. Worth it though. Definitely come here at least once. Never thought I would reach for more kale. read more

Love the food and the service is great too Ok we had a horrible experience at this restaurant many years ago, obviously things have changed & for the greater good! My husband and I enjoyed the food so much we've had to return this past week. So in the past two weeks we've eaten here 3 times and we've love everything we've ordered. Best burger in town and the kale salad is a home run, literally out of the park screaming good. They sent me a discount on messenger and ya we took the bait and tried it out... one of our new favorites here in town. Go check out the menu Friday they offer a mimosa bar it's unlimited for under $15.00 there delicious read more

Came for lunch on a Thursday (was originally thinking of a late brunch, but their brunch is only Friday - Sunday!!) All is good though since I still got a cold brew martini so it had the essence of a brunch. It was not busy at all when we came around 1:00pm and we chose to sit outside. The cold brew martini was delicious, super creamy. Only thing was that it must have spilled onto the glass when they poured it as the glass was dripping with martini! But it's alright, nothing a napkin couldn't fix. The carnitas tacos were pretty good, carnitas were flavorful and soft. The food wasn't too heavy and I thoroughly enjoyed my selection. I would order the tacos again if I returned. The service was good, staff were attentive and quick to clear plates and bring out food. Hopefully I'll be able to return friday - sunday to try their brunch and maybe even bottomless mimosas on a friday!! read more

Came here a few days ago and ordered from the brunch and lunch menu. The patio is pretty nice right now given the weather. Our service was fine, though it did take a while when we asked for extra plates to the point a person in our party had to go inside to ask and remind. I would say for the price, most of the food I tried was good/okay and not exceptionally noteworthy. The crème brûlée toast, though, was great and is worth trying imo read more

Went there about a month ago, everything was amazing... service, cocktails( my girlfriend had the Cold Brew Martini)(I had a Pellegrino), a tried the Cauliflower Burger.... I craved that burger until we went back this last Sunday, 9-28-2025.... We sat at a bar table, to watch football... we split the Pea Toast with mushrooms, and burrata cheese.... Wow!!! My girlfriend doesn't really like mushrooms, we almost licked the plate clean! Of course I ordered the Cauliflower Burger with Sweet Potato Fries, my girl ordered The Poki Bowl. Food was perfect... literally right when we put our napkins down, our busser picked up our ap share plates, and our entrees were placed in front of us... impeccable timing. Our server always went by our table...my girlfriend always has the poke bowl, and I will always have the Cauliflower Burger... the patty is crispy, with gooey cheese, nicely toasted bun, with an aioli(not certain)... too stuffed to try dessert! I will try another dish, and I'll get my girl to do as well... I've been there twice Looking forward to my 3rd time soon! Thank you for such excellent service, and taking care of your guests read more
