worst service I've ever had, 8/5/2010
Reviewer: Loren
from Santa Barbara, CA
I went to lunch here today, the food was pretty good but the blonde waitress I had was awful, rude, and inattentive. The busboy took our drink order and did everything the waitress was supposed to do, besides taking the food order. The one time she did refill our drinks she just slammed them on our table without saying a word. When she gave us the bill it took her over 20 minutes and we ended up having to give it to the bus boy. And she wasn't even that busy! The salmon sandwich was good and would be the only reason I would come back. If you ever eat here, AVOID THE TALL BLONDE WAITRESS

Afternoon delight!, 3/9/2010
Reviewer: Lorna
from Las Vegas Nevada
What a pleasant surprise from this unassuming breakfast & lunch cafe. The server was extremely pleasant and helpful our glasses were never allowed to go empty. As we usually do we asked for suggestions on what to order and spoke with Joe the owner. We tried a selection of different items including their specialty Hawaiian French Toast, served with a lovely selection of fresh seasonal fruit and dusted with powdered sugar it was a delight. The chicken tacos were my favorite, served with a very fresh garden salad it was tasty and crisp not like so many places that serve a salad which consists of some limp iceberg lettuce and dressing. We also ordered the turkey Parmesan sandwich and the Dave Carter sandwich named after a friend of the owner!
The portions were good, the sides of fries and onion rings were tasty and well cooked. All in all a great experience I would definately recommend it and will be back when next in Santa Barbara

Great variety for breakfast...great coffee, 11/4/2009
Reviewer: Chuck Benwitt

Try the Hawaiian "French Toast"...really good, the short stack was more than enough. The menu choices are numerous and show that they are really creative. The prices are fair, and the service was a little slow, but so what? It's not a "fast food joint"
All in all a good place to eat and a little different than most.

Good food, decent service, but AWFUL coffee, 10/25/2009
Reviewer: Lucy P.
from Santa Barbara, CA
This place is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner now, but I just go there for breakfast. The food is pretty good (you know, standard breakfast fare) but the coffee is horrendous. I don't know if it's the coffee they use or how they brew it, but it's bad enough that I now prefer to go elsewhere for my weekend breakfast outings.

decent breakfast- worst service, 10/14/2009
Reviewer: james

I have been here a few times on and off since I have lived in SB, the food is always just OK. This last time when I came for breakfast I experienced the worst attitude from a server I have ever had at any restaurant I have ever dined at. ( and I eat out almost everyday!) I won't go in to details for there are so many remarks this girl server said to me that had so much attitude she was rude. I mean at one point I had the thought "aren't I the paying customer?" anytime I asked for anything this server would not anwser the question instead she would walk away rolling her eyes and sighing under her breath. Wait a minute isn't that a server's job to take orders and bring what customer wants? You would have thought I was asking for a million dollars the way she reacted. The sad part is I have seen this server at other local restaurants, maybe she is just burnt out as a server, but she needs a serious attitude adjustment. Putting the service aside this place does have the best hawaiian french toast and chocolate chip pancakes in Santa Barbara.

By far the best french toast in town and the fruit is fresh. The service was great and our server had a beautiful smile. I highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast!

Best Diner Food In Town
Reviewer: Mike
from Santa Barbara
Nothing gourmet here but the food comes to you hot and with a smile. Great place to bring friends and grub. My vegetarian friend said the food looked "pretty". Prices are low and the portions are generous. I've never had a bad meal here. Cajun Kitchen...they've stolen your thunder.

Such high hopes, but was let down!
Reviewer: Jean Morse
from Santa Barbara
Living temorarily in Santa Barbara and decided to give this place a try after reading the good reviews, but we were so disappointed. Perhaps I went on an off day or maybe the waitstaff has changed but we did not have a good experience at all. After seating ourselves, we had to wait a few minutes to get menus which should have been my first clue. The menu looked pretty good and there were ots of choices. We were just about to give up on any sort of waitress when, after 10 minutes she finally came over. We ordered a breakfast meal of scrambled eggs, 2 pancakes, and bacon, a turkey club sandwich with fries and a small milk. There were only about 4 other people eating here at the time but our food took at least 15 minutes to come out, which is a little long for such a quick and easy meal. My club sandwich was good and fries were hot, but the pancakes and eggs tasted odd. How can anyone screw up pancakes? I don't know but they had a very weird flavor. Only a few bites of that meal was eaten. When I finally received my bill, I thought that $23.55 was a little high for the food we ordered. I noticed that the small milk was $2.25, I had been charged twice for taxes, and she charged me for splitting the pancake meal. What? $2.25 for less than 7 ounces of milk. I could have gone to Starbucks and gotten a grande milk for that much. I asked about the tax and she said that the tax is always shown twice (NO!) And I saw nowhere on the menu where it said there would be charge for splitting meal. The food was mediocre at best and the staff was well below par. I would gladly pay more than $23.55 for a good meal but this definately was a complete waste of time and money. There are so many other great places to go have a good meal here in SB.

great food, great atmosphere for the locals and tourist
Reviewer: fermin arias
from santa barbara,ca
I dine here frequently and the food is consistantly great. even with the expansion the restaurant it still feels cozy and very friendly.The waiters are friendly and attentive and make you feel comfortable. The added bonus is now they are open for dinner as well as breafast and lunch and the prices for the quality can't be beat.

Pricing and Phone Etiquette
Reviewer: Jessica
from Torrance, CA
I too was overcharged on my breakfast but worse than that, when I called back later that same day to a)let our waitress know that she'd overcharged me (mistakes happen, I understand that but if nobody points it out then how are they going to get fixed?) and b)to ask it I needed reservations for dinner or not (it's a nice little place I thought I'd bring a friend for dinner) the guy who answered the phone was so rude to me and questioned me, didn't I know I was calling a breakfast place & that they were busy?? I never even got a chance to ask my question. Well that's too busy for me to come back for dinner I guess...lesson to be learned - don't be rude on the phone!
