17 Best American Restaurants in Goleta

“I was in the greater Santa Barbara area for 6 days and found this place tucked in a neighborhood just off the 101 in Goleta. We enjoyed several breakfasts here and never had a bad dish. They're open for lunch and dinner too with a mix of traditional american diner dishes as well as some mexi-cali dishes. They'll also deliver your food to the bar at the end of the strip mall. They have some tables out front on the patio and a nice sized dining room inside. Glad we found it, as it saved us a bunch on money over the resort food prices where we were staying.“

“I ordered a fish taco without cheese. It was delivered with cheese and I told the lad I didn’t want cheese. He said he’d get me another without cheese. I said no worries but they brought me another delicious taco without cheese. I had 2 and they were both delicious. Customer service,
I LOVE it!!“

“We dined here on a Saturday evening.
Good menu and lively ambiance, our dining experience was good but not a wow moment.
Service lacked a bit because they had a big party, of around 20, and it seems most of the servers were helping out, hence ours suffered a bit.
The starting bread basket was fresh.
My main course, pizza, cant remember the name, was good and well prepared.
My dessert, was good.
There are so many good places in the Goleta/Santa Bárbara área that not sure if I will patronize this establishment again.“

“The Natural Café is one of my favorite spots for a healthy, delicious lunch in Goleta/Santa Barbara. I love their tuna fish sandwich and vegetable lasagna. Both are fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. You can sit inside or enjoy the outdoor seating, which is perfect on a beautiful day. Great food, relaxed atmosphere, and a wonderful place to stop for lunch. Highly recommend!“

“It’s hard to describe perfect. Everything from the extraordinary staff, to the comfortable atmosphere, to the perfectly prepared food was spot on. We are greatly appreciative for the work that goes into an operation like this.“

“Went for a club meeting on a beautiful sunny day. The outside patio is a comfortable place to watch golfers and enjoy the scenery. The food was well cooked including the vegetables that were not overdone, and the service was efficient and unobtrusive.“

“Great food here for a reasonable price. Portions are great sized.“

“We love this place! Food is great“

“I will say that I am not usually a fan of IHOP but this one is different. Not sure why, but it's just better than most IHOPs. The food isn't incredible (but it is still quite good) but the staff is fantastic, caring, and attentive.“

“I really enjoyed the while experience. Staff was friendly and on it. She saw an empty cup would you like av refill, empty plate would you like me to take that. Attentive, very courteous. Food was very good and quick. We ordered the special burger I think it came out to $13 a plate. What a great deal. Definitely will be going back“

“I didn't think Zodo's could get much better! After the Bowlero remodel I change my mind though.. you can totally lose track of time here, especially in the newer arcade?

“Always a great experience to grab grub at Sam’s. Friendly, fast service. Sandwiches were made as ordered and they make fresh, hot onion rings to order. Lovely patio with benches and tables with shade on the ‘main’ drag so you can do some good people watching. Thanks Sams! You rock.“
