We clearly came hungry We ordered the poke nachos, avocado egg rolls, spicy tuna crispy rice, yuzu buffalo boneless wings, crispy coconut shrimp, fries, and the prosciutto and arugula flatbread. Everything was fresh and really good, elevated bar food with lots to choose from. The spicy tuna crispy rice was probably my favorite! My sister LOVED the avocado egg rolls, which have mango in them and were definitely a fun twist. The only thing I probably wouldn't order again was the prosciutto and arugula flatbread. The prosciutto was sliced pretty thick and cooked almost like bacon, which just wasn't what I was expecting. And the margaritas!! We tried the skinny, guava, and spicy mango and ALL three were excellent. I also loved being able to split and pay the bill ourselves on the little kiosk at the table. No waiting around for the check, which is such a nice touch! Fun atmosphere, great service, good food and EXCELLENT margaritas. I would definitely come back! Only took pictures of the drinks because we were too hungry lol.

I didn't expect it to be $20 though! Sheesh. You don't even get fries with it. Nonetheless, my son enjoyed it and that's all that matters to me. I ordered the single dang burger with small fries. The burger was delicious! I always get the special sauce on the side because I'm not sure if I will like it. Well dang! The special sauce here is clearly made in-house and I absolutely loved it!! The fries reminded me of In-n-Out, but better. They aren't too dry and paired well with the sauce. The atmosphere here is really nice! I love the options of outdoor seating and they also have a small area inside. The space is also shared with Sunburst wine bar. Overall, a great place to check out in Carpinteria.

Funk in Public…read more Family-owned and operated local chain of restaurants and butcher shops that's been serving the Santa Barbara community for over fifty years (ca. 1973). This location is in Santa Barbara's "Funk Zone" district, which was formerly an industrial area that's turned into a wine and art district full of interesting places to gander. The Good: * Huge dog-friendly covered outdoor seating * Full lineup of their signature Shalhoob craft beers. They also have fermented grapes and liquor, if beer isn't your jam. * Service was friendly and welcoming. * Street Parking and City-owned lots, as well. The lots are your best bet, and they're free for a short while. * Prices are very reasonable for a BBQ place. * The Street Corn app might be the best thing we ate here as the corn was super fresh right off the cob, and the Chipotle aioli was superb. * BBQ Beans was more of a bean soup, but it was decent. * Mac & Cheese was also pretty good. Carrots enjoyed it more than I did, but I might've been grumpy from the shitty meats (more on that in a minute). The Meh: * Tritip was completely dry and tasted like it was cooked in the oven and then finished on the grill. But, I will say, at least it was edible unlike the ribs... The Ugly: * Maybe the worst ribs I've ever had. They were just completely hammered with salt and completely blew out my palate within two bites, which is a shame because they were tender and cooked well, but jfc, no amount of sauce or anything is going to save something this salty. Conclusion: Maybe we just caught them on a bad day because a place doesn't survive for over fifty years serving up meat like this. I'd be willing to give them another try someday, but I need my tongue to recover first.

Super flavorful, cooked right, and not overcomplicated. Just a solid, satisfying bite every time. The birria burger with the dipping sauce was the standout though. Crispy edges, rich flavor, and that consommé on the side to dunk it in took it to another level. It gets messy but that is kind of the point. Had to add a side of sweet potato fries too. Crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, and the perfect balance to all that burger action. They definitely showed up for Burger Week.

When we walked in, the Hostess, Maya, greeted us with a smile, answered all of our questions and helped us find the perfect table for enjoying the perfect 80 degree with a cool breeze Montecito weather. Once seated, our waiter, Sean took over, explained the menu (food/cocktail) and struck the perfect balance between being attentive and allowing us the privacy to really enjoy both our email and the perfect day in the perfect setting! The General Manager, Ali, touched base briefly to make sure we were happy with our Hugo Spritz's and one of the Managers, Kevin, stopped by at the end of our meal to make sure we were completely happy. What makes the staff of The Honor Bar special is you can tell they really care... If attention to detail is important to you, you will love the fact the presentation of every dish was as good as the taste! I can strongly recommend both the Macho and Kale salads with roasted/rotisserie chicken! The Honor Bar is a must stop for lunch whenever you are in the area!

I was forward about the fact that I had a virtual business call before I sat down or placed my order. I actually stopped into their place specifically to have my virtual business call and dinner. If there truly is a policy against phones in the establishment that should have been communicated from the start so I did not place a $56 order and waste my time and ruin my business meeting. I'm quite uncomfortable that they were perfectly fine with accepting my order meaning I was obligated to pay the money, but they were not comfortable communicating ahead of time that their policies might deter my patronage today. At least their staff was communicative. I would've been inclined to come back next time Also, the first time I was "warned " was being told I just needed to turn it down, which I obliged to. My phone was at the lowest setting and was against my ear for a majority of the conversation, quieter than most of their other patrons. It didn't seem like I disturbed any of their other patrons, and I was not told that I disturbed any of the other patrons, so I find it hard to understand why my business call was this much of a disturbance. I just think it's a little weird that I was able to order a drink, appetizer, and meal on the phone with my team, and get a client on the line before they eventually told me about this so-called policy. Put it on your website, on your Yelp, and on your entryway if it's that big of an issue. Again, I'm happy to follow the rules as long as it's fair. This feels very arbitrary, possibly even prejudice against my tattoos and unkept hair from the beach. With everyone's attire being loungewear I didn't think I was an issue that I could come in just as casually. I would've appreciated being turned away before they were happy to accept my money and disturb my meeting beyond repair.

First off with Service, Waiter was kind and warm. Yet when I ordered from lunch menu, Eureka burger…read moreand fries for $13, he directed me over to the side dish menu and said you can have fries or one of these sides. Not mentioning that it was an extra three dollars on top of the $13, if I chose any other side besides fries. Which I thought was a little manipulating on his part. I pulled the manager to the side and mentioned it to him, he cleaned it up and corrected it immediately very polite and forthcoming. Other than that, Service was outstanding, And I tipped accordingly. Now about the food, Burger was medium rare as I asked. A little Dry for the Cook. It would've been much better with the bone marrow butter, but they are asking an extra four dollars for that. Nice brioche, bun, secret sauce, fresh slightly grilled onions, thinly sliced fresh tomato. the only complaint I have is about the lettuce. It was old, and brownish edges in color. Fries were crispy and hot. I was also offered ranch with them when the server brought the meal out, and did not charge extra for that. I was also given a punchcard for the lunch menu with one stamp and at five stamps You get a free item from the lunch menu. Which is a great customer service touch. Restaurant was inside but open air, with a full bar and five big screen TVs playing sports. Will be back to try menu items, The bill was $14 and some change with tax, I tipped five dollars so a good burger and fries for under 20 bucks. Cheers.

There's no sign. I drove by several times and parked, determined to find it. It was next to Lama Dog. I ordered at the window from a very friendly and efficient staff member. I found a nice bar-height communal table inside a super cool restored warehouse with awesome indie music jamming, also surrounded by big screens and sporting events. I ordered a bottled Arnold Palmer from the bar, not realizing the bottled drinks are self-serve. Nevertheless, the bartender kindly got it for me along with a glass of ice. Now here's the best part: the very best Turkey Burger I have ever had--way better than any take-out before. It's topped with garlic aioli, avocado, melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, and crispy skinny onion rings, just perfect. I also ordered the fries with truffle and Parmesan--absolutely delicious, though a bit too flavorful, which overshadowed the turkey burger's flavor. I've tried both sweet and regular potato fries here, and they are excellent too. This place really hits the spot. Can't wait to come back.

Was enough for us to share between two. Creamy and cheesy, but could've used more lobster. Would've expected a better lobster to macaroni ratio with this one. Prices are a little steeper here. It was $25 for the Lobster mac & cheese, which I would've been more open to with a bit more fish in the dish. Plus, when I go to grab a beer, I'm not necessarily wanting to pay $20+ for a burger without fries. That being said, it's still a good spot to grab some food while drinking a beer at Lama Dog.
