24 Best Salad Restaurants near Isla Vista

“This has been my go to spot for years. I come here at least once a week. Always surprisingly fast for the amount of people here. Double char is always reliable, and sometimes I get the triple char when I am extra hungry after a long day. Seating isn't always available, but people cycle out pretty quickly.“

“Ordered ahead to beat the lunch crowd - good thing I did, this place was poppin! The T’N A Panini is where it’s at - literally the best sandwich I’ve ever had. It’s a large sandwich, you may only eat half right away, but get the whole sandwich, you’ll want that other half later - SO BOMB! Highly recommend this place, and definitely use the site to order ahead. Lots of parking, easy to get to since it’s right off the freeway. Will be back when I’m in the area.“

“Knowledgeable staff, freshest fish, affordable prices. The location is also fun!“

“I rarely post reviews, but this restaurant deserves it. I was so impressed from the great quality of the food, fantastic service, cleanliness, and atmosphere. Variety of the food and appetizers on the menu were great, along with the wonderful flavors, and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended, and a must try.“

“Little Alex's is a family owned gem! The food is great and the atmosphere is mellow and friendly. At any Mexican restaurant, my first judgement is always about the chips and salsa. They seriously have THE best chips in town. Their salsas are all made in house and run from a very mild but tasty base salsa to a hot that tastes great while simultaneously stripping paint! My personal favorite is their medium roasted salsa, Baja salsa, which has lots of flavor and a fair bit of kick. I or my family have eaten most of their menu here and everyone always finds something to love.

Whether you are a Chiliophile or you like completely non-spicy food, you will find something that makes you happy!“

“Actually, I was again pleased! It has been awhile since I first ate at the Original Habit. My grandson graduated from UCSB in 2017 and it was our favorite dining place after his baseball game! My husband couldn’t stop raving about how delicious his cheese burger tasted! We will revisit the Habit!“

“Actually impressed with their Deli style Sandwiches , had a Veit nom nom , impressed and tasty and very filling. More stuff with the Italian roll.“

“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!“

“Been hitting this spot on the weekends , but will not as much anymore , i get their sandos, it's great sandwiches liked going here when they were a bit less expensive, prices everywhere is sky rocketing and the competition now to where I feel like I can just go somewhere else for same quality and price! Overall they are great ?“

“Rustys is amazing many ucsb students will be delighted to try a local staple of pizza, I was born and raised on Rustys and it by far my favorite to eat in Santa Barbara very unique pizza like no where else I’ve tried anywhere both thick and thin are amazing“

“We had a wonderful family meal, the service was excellent, the staff was friendly and accommodating!“

“Food is okay, proportions are enormous, the red salsa is quite yummy. But, the real reason to come here is the service!! The staff are kind, fast, helpful and attentive. It's a fast food place, but the staff bring your meal, utensils napkins to your table for you. They watch for people coming to get to-go orders and bring the orders out to them. It's a breadth of fresh air.“

“Delicious pizza , kid friendly, very clean, lots of seating great pizza to have a visit with my college son 😊“

“Super fast service, great food, great price. Highly reccomend the milkshakes, I had the oreo milkshake and its one of the best I've ever had. I don't really reccomend the mac n cheese or the chicken sandwiches, they're just okay, but the burgers are good.“

“Wow what a hidden gem! Really tasty, flavorful offerings and so affordable. I was impressed with the variety and quality. I got a half sushi tofu sandwich and a half turkey cranberry sandwich and was full for $8. Both dishes were really thoughtful and looked nice, too. I happen to live nearby and I will be stopping in frequently.“

“I highly recommend, and can't thank them enough, working with PANINO for your catering needs. Jesse was the easiest person to work with, EVEN with all the last-minute changes that were out of his and my control. Everything from describing what our group order realistically needs to providing options for our meal, our team was delighted not only with the service but also with the quality of the food. I found the price to be economical compared to most sandwich places, without skipping out on quality, and the delivery fee to be the most reasonable I've seen. With the variety of options PANINO has to offer with sandwiches and salads, it would be a shame for you to miss out on this stellar deal of a place.“

“Who can go wrong with Kyle?“

“Ok. Great staff, super nice.

I haven’t had subway in a long time. I got a six inch and a small bag of chips. For 10.68 plus tax and tip. Pretty good but I’m still a bit hungry. Next time I will go down to On the Alley and get a huge burger with fresh lettuce, tomato, onions…. PLUS a HUGE side of HOMEMADE potato chips!! For $11.25 plus tax and tip. I can barely finish it , though I do!

But this was a good lesson learned for me.“

“Best pizza in Santa Barbara by far 🙌👍“

“A little expensive but the pizza is worth it, IMHO. Better than cheap delivery chains, that's for sure!“

“We dined at The Habit Burger Grill in Santa Barbara and had a great experience! The burger was delicious, with a super tasty meat, and the fried potatoes were also excellent. It is a great fast food option, with a very good cost-effectiveness, especially if you are looking for a quality hamburger. For those who are not at the end of something very expensive, but want something delicious, well worth it!“

“Great 👍🏼 pizza 🍕 & cold beers 🍻“

“I had a great experience at this Chick-fil-A location! The staff were extremely polite and respectful, and the customer service was truly outstanding. The food was fresh and delicious, and the whole place was spotless and well-maintained. Even though it was busy, everything was handled efficiently and with a smile. Highly recommend this location if you’re looking for quality food and top-notch service!“
