16 Best American Restaurants in Goleta

“Day trip to Goleta for Disc Golf and hiking at Gaviota, landed us here for food afterward. Unfortunately, missed breakfast but got pizza and salad. The food was very good, but not great. We heard breakfast is what people come here for, so why not breakfast all day? Anyway, still highly recommended. We’ll be back another time for breakfast.“

“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.“

“Trying new local spots I came across this place immediately fell in love with it as they have chicken and waffles on their menu and don’t get me started on their omelettes besides the food being top tier the staff has always been amazing, courteous and always polite. Caitlin is the one that’s helped me a few times and she’s an exceptional employee she honestly deserves a raise because the customer service for a food place like this is beyond what I expected. They have my business and will be coming by again soon for that delicious food.“

“Been in Goleta for a long time. Great place for breakfast. Servers are fun and friendly.“

“Great service and reasonable prices. The food was fantastic!!“

“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!“

“What a nice hidden gem, a breakfast cafe offering a good selection of typical breakfast dishes, with a great variety coffee and fresh pastries.
There is no table service, you order at the counter and they bring it to your table.
I order the Chiala Khalua Banana French Toast, it was yummy!
Also ordered a Chocolate Chip pastry, tasty with the good amount of chocolate in it.
I will patronize this establishment again.“

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

“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.“

“We love this place! Food is great“

“Haven't been here in so long. I heard they changed the menu and I wanted to give it a try.
I'm glad I did it.
My boys and I had a great night, lots of fun, and really good food.
Our waitress Rosie(I hope I got it right) was great. Kind, attentive, accurate but never too invasive.
Another great night @ Chili's!!!“

“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.“

“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.“
