Good, but not Great (Get the Apple Pie a la Mode!), 7/10/2009
Reviewer: Hector
from Santa Barbara, CA
Initial service was quick and friendly. Food was prepared fast. After we got our food, we didn't see the waitress until the check arrived.
However she was very friendly.
Best Apple Pie in town!

Reviewer: L.A Confidential

This restaurant is really good. Looks kinda like a coffee shop but the food is excellent, really good quality. Staff was quick and friendly. Best chicken noodle soup we've had!!
Highly recommend. Kid friendly and reasonable prices. We will definitely come back to Treehouse next time we visit Santa Barbara. Walking distance for people staying at the Peppertree Inn. Really nice!

Honeymooners
Reviewer: Asher
from Boise ID
We stayed at the Pepper Tree Inn and decided to eat here for breakfast. There were few people in there at the time and we were seated fairly quickly. It took the waitress 15 minutes to even come greet us. Then she was short and to the point, almost rude when she took our order. After she brought our food and drinks we didn't see her again until she brought the check. She offered to take the check for us as she walked away. She didn't come back and we took the check to the front.

The Best Pie In Town!!!
Reviewer: Geren
from Carpinteria, CA
After an exhaustive search to fulfill an out of town guest's request for a simple slice of fruit pie, our wishes were answered when the idea for the Treehouse Restaurant popped into my head. Checking another site that had their online menu, and after a friendly phone call, we discovered that this great place had pies galore! I had tried the great and affordable meals at this classic diner before, but never had dessert. Don't even bother searching around, or going to a chain coffee shop if you crave pie. The three us of shared slices of Peach, Cherry, and Apple pies; two with whipped cream, and one ala mode. They also had pumpkin, pecan, lemon meringue, and boston creme. The pies are also all available warm, with ice cream or melted cheddar chese. And, that's just the pie; not to mention all of the other great desserts. Eat up and enjoy the pie!

Reviewer: Jon

Kinda hidden at the Pepper Tree Inn is the Coffee shop
style restaurant Tree House. Three of us ate breakfast
here today, staff was attentive, friendly and food was
on par for this style of restaurant. Denver omelet was
tasty. On the was out was thanked by three separate
staffers.

BAD easter sunday
Reviewer: Gisselle
from Santa Barbara, CA
So this placed looked like a good place to eat, so my bf and i went to try it. BIG MISTAKE. The place wasn't packed and it took the waitress 25 mins to take our order. The portion sizes were too small and over priced. The food was ok, not good. The waitress seemed crazy. WORST experience eating in Santa Barbara. i did complain to the manager. I rather go to Denny's for breakfast, and i hate Dennys.

good breakfast

Have been here last weekend, I had the eggs benedict and my boyfriend had corned beef. Both were very delicious. Service was nice, and the food came really fast. I would certainly go again.

Gracious Restaurant
Reviewer: Jean
from Santa Barbara, Ca.
The family like atmosphere is always welcoming from the minute you walk through the door. Having eaten here several times both for breakfast and lunch I have always found the staff attentive but not intrusive. There has never been a wait for seating, drinks are refilled promptly, they check to make sure your order is satisfactory, and don't rush you when the meal is finished. This restaurant is attached to a motel and as such is not fine dining. But, excellent everyday fare. It is an excellent choice when shopping at the Plaza.

Down home and darn good
Reviewer: john taylor

This is an excerpt from a column I wrote that was published in the June 3, 2005, Clovis Independent, a weekly newspaper in Clovis. CA....
"Waitresses there call men "hon." When they go on break, they remind co-workers which customer is nearly due for an iced tea refill.
The regular clientele come in fancy Toyotas, walk in age-shortened shuffling steps and carry precise expectations (extra ice, hold the lemon) for meals. Each is treated like an icon.
The restaurant leadership is similarly unique. One maitre d´, reading his newspaper spread across the counters, executes his duties in the gracious mode of the late actor Fernando Lamas (Lorenzo´s father), with a humble apology for any delay. His second is an apparition of the late comedian Jimmy Durante, the crooner with a large nose. His diligence to customers is occasionally corrupted by his problems integrating the ancient cash register with a credit-card scanner.
The regulars talk about rattlesnakes and aerating the soil. And they have funky memories. As one interloper made a comment to his wife about their forthcoming wedding, a regular said that he´d been behind them in line at a government office, that their license cost $77 and, by the way, just when would they be getting hitched? The wife-to-be said, "During the next full moon, because that´s the right time for planting."
The food is substantial, not memorable. There are no wannabe models preening at the Treehouse.
As I pay the tab, the redhead apologizes if she has disturbed my meal by mentioning her dead veteran brother whose grave in Fresno-Clovis she has yet to visit. Seeing an opening, I press her about the age of this push-push-push, kachung-kachung electronic cash register.
She smiles and wags her head no. It´d give away her age, and she was 9 when she first learned to use it.
I´m satisfied with this answer to the question of what is Santa Barbara."
