It's actually loaded with lobster--not a bunch of filler and other junk taking away from what a lobster roll should be. Simple, fresh, and really tasty. Everything I've tried there has been good, and it's just an enjoyable place to grab a bite. Definitely a spot I'm happy to recommend, especially if you're a lobster roll fan!

Wow. Ok, I have always wanted to try this food truck at Pali Wine, and today we decided to try an…read moreapp. We ordered the Calamari for $16.95. What I was served was an abomination. See image. This is Calamari, not the most premium of proteins, and w luck caught locally. For $17, plus tip put this at about $20. This is not $20 worth of food, let alone Calamari. I spoke to the employee, Gio, who was very professional and understanding that it was not a lot of food. He did what he could to make it right and I truly appreciated his efforts. He is not the problem, he handled the situation well and was responsive to my frustration. My problem is how can this represent a $17 appetizer? I won't be back, but I will say hello to Gio if I see him because he was the only good part of the experience.

Went to Santa Barbara for the weekend. I was excited to try this place out based on the reviews…read more The location is inside a bar so you can select other food options if you'd like. The bars offers food and there's a chicken place behind the bar. Sweet: The menu offers some variety of options if you're not looking to have seafood. My husband enjoyed his hot dog. The fries were probably the best item out of what we ordered. Sour: We also ordered a lobster roll and clam chowder. The lobster roll wasn't too bad but it wasn't that special. It was pretty small and it was only filled with claws. I wish the bread was crisp and the lobster had more flavor. It wasn't worth the price. The clam chowder wasn't so bad It was a little more of a broth based and not really creamy. It had the perfect amount of potato and clams but lacked flavor. Overall not a bad option but nothing out of the ordinary.

I went with a breakfast burrito which turned out to be HUGE. The burrito took a few minutes but it came out hot and fresh. Flavor-wise, it was a solid burrito. You have the option of indoor or outdoor seating. Of course the weather is perfect during breakfast hours. Would definitely go back.

I was welcome to stay as long as I needed to eat my meal. What an unexpected and KIND gesture!!!! The guys were young but extremely courteous! I ordered a bowl of clam chowder...YUM!!! How can you go to Brophy's and not eat chowder? I also ordered a Baja fish taco and a shrimp taco. I love fish tacos. This one was super moist and crispy on the outside...perfect seasoning and the pickled onions were spot on!! The shrimp taco was a nice surprise. They are grilled (no guilt over extra calories) and good flavor. There is a good combination of savory with a little sweet from the mango salsa. The mangoes were not as ripe as I like, but the salsa had good flavor nonetheless. I especially appreciate that the young guys checked on me and asked about the food and if I needed anything. I visit SB a couple times a year. This is definitely going to be one of my pit stops. Oh... did I mention the nice surprise on my bill? I didn't even realize the perks of taco Tuesday. Kudos to the management for hiring such good workers!

We were walking Stearns Wharf and I went in to order fries to go for my toddler. The hostess was very warm and welcoming, and handed my toddler a paper kids menu and crayons to color while we waited. This alone is a nice treat for families looking to dine out with their kids to keep the little ones occupied. Then I noticed the kids menu had fish and chips and wanted to change my order to that instead, and without hesitation the hostess brought a supervisor to help facilitate that modification. While we waited, two other employees came by smiling checking on us to make sure we had been helped. They even offered to and happily refilled my son's water bottle multiple times while we were there walking/biking around. The views from the restaurant are stunning as can be expected being oceanside in santa barbara. We happened to catch the sunset there and it was breathtaking. I told myself they definitely earned more of my business so I am already planning another trip back there for a real lunch or dinner experience. My kids loved the fries and fish, even though I had to cut it for them and tell them it was "fish sticks". I personally thought the fries could use more seasoning and be a bit crisper, but the overall i was satisfied On a side note, I love that the parking on the pier is free for the first 90 minutes and only $4/hr after. Gives plenty fo time to explore, eat, perhaps do a boating excursion, etc., and there is plenty of street parking and more paid public parking nearby.

Price is extremely fair and quality of food has been good so far. There's nothing over $18 on the menu at the moment. It has some great deals on tacos. Baja Fish Taco was excellent. Just $6 for one, or $11 for two. It comes with corn tortilla, spicy slaw, avocado, and salsa on the side. Poke Tacos were also excellent. Think the use of fried wontons as taco shells is a clever idea. They come with wasabi aioli and sesame seeds. They are on the smaller side so come in 2 for $9 or 3 for $12. Even thought the kids meals were pretty good. My kids got Bennett's Mac & Cheese and Chicken Tenders (5 pieces). They came with sides (chose sweet potato fries) and Honest Kids juice box. Mac & Cheese was good without being too heavy or oily, and chicken tenders were nice and crispy. The sweet potatoes were excellent. Ordered some mocktails which were good and refreshing. We got Passionate (passionfruit syrup, lime juice, soda) and Lily's Mule (ginger beer, lime juice, mint, soda). I plan to come back one more time with my family before heading back home on our last summer vacation.
