“Great food and friendly staff. Dog friendly restaurant the parking was easy worth driving down here from Santa Barbara.In Carpenteria and most of Santa Barbara there are more dogs than people! Every single couple brought their dog with them on vacation and the dogs are in every park, hotel and restaurant. Kind of a downer for people who don't want to be surrounded by others pets. Food was good“
“I lived three years in Carp and for some reason I never thought about going to Zookers. I think the name threw me off even though people would tell me I should go there. Finally after driving through Carp on my daily commute, my son and I decided we should give it a try. He really wanted the fried chicken sandwich however that item was not available on the dinner menu so he went for the burger instead and I had a tofu dish. We got some bread too. Let me tell you we were shocked how good everything tasted! The food was incredible - every bite a delight. His pup style burger cooked and seasoned to perfection. ( mind you my son is a burger snob) - and the potatoes crispy and super tasty. My tofu waiter dish was also really good. Pretty much every bite including the bread basket was amazing. We really wanted to try the dessert and the staff was so nice to split it for us since we were too full for the whole portion alone. The presentation was spot on too. Even though it's in a mini mall once you enter this culinary oasis you immediately forget that the sketchy albertson parking lot. The next day we decided to order the fried chicken sandwiches to go. And let me tell you they did not disappoint either , probably the best fried chicken I had in a long time. We could not wait to eat them at home so we started to nibble on them outside Starbucks and had many people approach us where we got these incredible tasty looking sandwiches. I still can't believe we have not gone there sooner and most reviewers on here seem to agree with me that this is the best restaurant in carp if not Santa Barbara. It had a very inviting feeling to it, a place where many people seem to return for a meal and beautiful local artwork on the wall for sale. We will be coming back for sure!“
“Was pleasantly surprised that our food was excellent! Reviews weren't great - but my meal was amazing! Fluffy blueberry pancakes with tons of blueberries, crunchy hash browns, perfect eggs and sausages didn't disappoint. Kids got waffles and chicken and pancakes. Good fast service. Bathrooms were okay. Definitely would pass by again!“
“Cool outdoor restaurant has a nice variety on the menu. I had a cheeseburger, fries and a soda cost about $14.74 but like everything now days what's not. Cash only no cards ATM available. The food: fries were fresh and hot. The cheeseburger was just the right size for me at least I am not a big eater. It had cheese melted covering the whole burger. The burger itself was fresh and hot personally it was cooked medium-ish I like my hamburgers cooked medium well. ( my 4 star rating) The bun for the burger was fresh tasted like it was homemade coming right out of the oven. Both the young man talking the order and the young lady at the pick up window were fast kind and very friendly. All the sitting is outside tables with umbrella's. Which for a busy place were clean. It was a cold windy Thursday would have been nice if they had patio heaters. if you're in town near the beach give them a try!“
“We stop here because it is so easy on/off the 101 south. The best bathroom, always clean and the employees don't give you issues if you're just there to pee.As far as the food...it's a Carl's.Parking: Easy parking right off the 101 southKid-friendliness: Great place for kids to pee!!!“

“We went with friends and ate on the patio out front. The food was delicious, although a bit pricey, but we expected that given the location. I had the sourdough bacon cheese burger. Excellent.Being that my own last name is Tinker, I mentioned it to the staff. I learned that Tinker is actually the owner's nickname. He learned that we were there and came out to visit. Very nice gentleman. He gifted me a Tinker Burger hat during his visit.We enjoyed the place very much!“
“Must stop be here on your next visit. Breakfast Burrito is awesome, even vegan style. Pizza and burgers are a hit as well. Closed Thursday, so plan accordingly. Great place to grab a bite to eat after a surf session. Day time parking available. Patio seating as well. Enjoy!!“
“Great restaurant ! We were visiting Summerland from France this January, and had a night out at The Nugget : the food was delicious, the atmosphere is very typical and friendly, and the staff was very pleasant. We had an amazing time and a super nice chat with one of the waiter.“
“This is such a lovely little spot to sit out on the patio and enjoy some good food and drink. I would say you'll need to go multiple times to try everything. We did have one issue with a cocktail we had ordered, but other than that, it was all great. Will be returning, for sure.“
