American Restaurants near Isla Vista

Root Burger American • $
558 University Rd, Isla Vista

“The vegan burger (plus the combo fries and drink) is amazing. Probably the best clearly-labelled vegan burger you're going to get in the area, since it has a good patty, a good bun, and a delicious thousand island sauce, and the vegan options in IV are lacking… $10 for a vegan burger, fries, and drink is better than almost any place I've been to. Fast service, but you eat in a cafeteria-like setting. Haven't tried the black bean or hummus burger, but I'm sure they're good too. I come here every week as a lunch between my classes.“

“I don’t do much reviews but this place is so good The food is cheap the quality is so good for the price I would recommend this place for a late night meal and I wouldn’t go with the competitors (high price wack sb munchies ?) that’s a whole different story though i’ve ordered twice from this place and I am honestly surprised that I’ve never ordered sooner their burgers good they have pretty good tenders for the price The burritos like again pretty good for the price I would definitely recommend it if you’re high or drunk or even hungry for a late night meal definitely give this place a try if you’re reading this“

Portola Dining Commons Buffet • $$
6800 El Colegio Rd, Isla Vista

“I was a Gaucho for a couple of years and the UCSB dining commons are nothing but special to me. Pizza, burgers, pasta, sandwich bar, salad bar, waffle machine, unlimited soda, all-you-can-eat everything all with a simple card swipe! (or <$20 for non-students) Seriously, some of you guys' complaints make no sense. You really expect French Laundry quality here? Yeah right! This place's job is to provide us with glucose for our brains to complete our studies, and for that I'd say it's beyond satisfactory. Ranking of the DCs: 1. Ortega (sushi baby!) 2. DLG (late night cravings) 3. Carrillo (best breakfast) 4. Portola (too far, had it once)“

“Staying in the Santa Barbara area? This is the perfect quaint little stop for a good meal. Nestled on the side of a mountain road, the main old stage coach restaurant is open until 4PM and serves amazing wild game chili. Outdoors they also serve the best BBQ tri tip sandwiches. I highly recommend topping the sandwiches with their horseradish sauce. Service was very good and kind, I also thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance with a live band playing outside the bar while we were eating.“
