Don't let the outside fool you! The prime rib was outstanding! Homemade pies were excellent. Highly recommend this place.

We are staying at Best Western, which is across the street from Clementines. We got in late and wanted something convenient for dinner. We were not expecting much given the location. It took us less than 5 minutes to walked over. We were greeted by a warm, cozy dining area. This family owned restaurant serves up a delicious set meal. Entrees come with freshly baked bread, salad, soup and dessert. Bread and split pea soup were made there, and it was so delicious. The soup was flavorful and creamy. Bread was served warm and moist. The salad was fresh and refreshing. We split a NY steak, and it was nicely seasoned and cooked to our specifications. Everything was just delicious. Even the potatoes on the side were so good. We asked for the recipe, and the waitress told us it was a family secret! Well, this spot is a gem, and if your in the area, give it a try!

Absolutely delicious "home cooked meal", just like mom would make. Wonderful and kind service. Small town diner feel...my kind of place! Split pea soup, salad with the best Russian and ranch dressing, fried chicken dinner and rhubarb pie...delicious!

This is the second time my wife and I have been here and it didn't disappoint. I ordered the Prime Rib and my wife a New York "petite dinner". The petite gave us soup or salad, choice of side, and desert. The food was cooked perfectly and was very good. I tried the banana cream pie for desert and it was excellent. My wife had the Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie Pie which she really liked. The server was very attentive and did an excellent job. The restaurant is off the beaten path but well worth the effort. We will come back here again!

Clementine's is an old-school steakhouse with all the good vibes. You're in for a treat here: try the fried chicken and get the blackberry pie for dessert (and don't worry because most dinners here include soup, salad, and a dessert!). The prime rib is excellent, they always have some type of special going on, enjoy a cup of pea soup (or get it to go and have it for lunch next day!), and try any pie they have because they are all delicious!

This is a wonderful "old-timey" restaurant serving traditional American dinners. You get a whole meal, from soup to pie. Delicious!

Hidden gem in Carpenteria CA. Best Clam Chowder, Best Prime Rib, and I don’t know how they cooked the baked potatoe, but DAMN!!! We live in Lincoln CA, will dine at Clementines whenever in the Santa Barbara area!!!
After living in carp for 9 years, i finally went and had such a lovely meal. The food, the service, and the very generous glass of wine. I had the fish, which was local and amazing. We took the pie home as it was so good the next day as too full to finish.

Recently starting working in Carp and was craving a hearty home cooked meal. Came across Clementines and I'm so glad I did! Such a cool vibe inside. Very much like being at grandmas house. Let's start. The bread!!! Made fresh as in piping hot fresh out of the oven. I've never had any bread like this. I ordered the steak special and omg.... so much food. Enough for a few days. The ladies are so fun and charming. Such a great hidden gem... definitely worth the stop.

My favorite restaurant anywhere. I left Southern California yers ago and every time I'm back down there I go to Clementines. The homemade soups and pies are amazing and I lover he deep fried potatoes and relish tray. Service is always great and their halibut is wonderful.
