“Gourmet experience on their Thursday menu”

“Great spot off the beaten path. Very pleasant and relaxing outdoor seating. Plenty of trees and shade and the weather was perfect. The food was excellent - great BBQ!! The brisket and pork shoulder tacos are large and easily shareable. The chili was outstanding. Definitely check this place out.”

“Have been visiting Bob's since they opened. It is consistently busy with travelers as well as a local trade. Best for me to come early esp on weekends. Other days & times a line may be expected, so I try to be prepared by studying the menu flyers before hitting the counter. When my turn comes, I order breads/pastries first, then meals or drinks prefaced by 'For Here' or 'To Go' as a signal. (awesome) cookies are displayed to the right of the pay station, so scope them out before ordering. Staff works well together and is efficient, packs to-go orders with care and busses tables quickly and pleasantly. Having worked retail and in a bakery/gift shop, I tip even for takeout. Service and kitchen staff def earn it- I'm happy to, as a thank you. Remember there is another equally charming location, located in Ballard townsite along Alamo Pintado, the main road between Solvang and Los Olivos, and is reached easily from 101 from north or south via Highway 154. ( Los Olivos is another village with many local wine tasting rooms and galleries for perusing after a meal)”

“Great little boutique store with kitchen items and a lovely outdoor eating area covered in large trees. Lots of benches and cushioned couches for lounging. Bodega offers wine by the glass and bottle. Very knowledgeable staff. Priedite BBQ is located in the back and serving delicious burgers and barbecue tacos.”

“Food and service at Normans restaurant is fabulous! LA quality, without the snobbery.”

“One of my favorite newer discoveries on The California Central Coast in Los Alamos..@TheMakersSon. An historic location, rich in local history, offers up beautiful craft cocktails, local wines and their chef’s culinary creations are sublime! (That watermelon salad 🥰) Always love our girl chats on life with my beautiful friend @donnapolizzi8 …and this restaurant was the perfect frame and setting! #themakersson @keys2thecoast #LosAlamos #appetizers #craftcocktails #finedining #patiodining #eventspace”

“great classic American food. at a good price. effing love this place!!🤩🤩🤩”

“I stopped in this town my first time and ate here a few weeks ago.I got a veggie delight and a meatball sandwich. Customer service was GREAT! Food was GREAT!Honestly, this has been one of the best Subway experiences I ever had in my years of eating at Subway and working at Subways! She made the sandwiches just like I would have made my own! Thank you!”

“Amazing taste with a homemade vibe.”

“A beautiful tasting experience. The building and grounds were stunning. The wisteria was blooming and made a lasting impression that was only out done by the wine. We enjoyed the wines and joined the wine club. I think the estate varietals will become some of our go to wines. Highly recommend the rose’, Pinot Noir and Syrah.”

“We came here after visiting another winery in the morning. The food was great. Beautiful outdoor seating! Our wine tasting person was named Cheryl. She was fantastic! It was a really great experience!”

“It was nice and the atmosphere was great”

“We had an incredible experience. We arrived a little later than we probably should have, but I was dining with an old friend I hadn’t seen in six years, so being able to sit, reconnect, and enjoy the evening meant a lot.

The food was absolutely amazing. Every dish came out perfectly timed, the wine was thoughtfully handled, and the menu explanations showed how knowledgeable and passionate the staff was. Every detail felt intentional.

Our server was exceptional — attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring without ever making us feel rushed. We ended up staying past their normal hours, and I was especially impressed by how gracefully the team handled it. They subtly guided the evening with questions like whether we needed anything else, offering the check, and helping box things up, but never once did we feel like we were overstaying or inconveniencing anyone.

That balance of professionalism and hospitality is rare. They made us feel welcome while still managing the end of the night with such ease and kindness.

Delicious food, impeccable service, thoughtful attention to detail, and a team that truly understands what a memorable dining experience should feel like. An amazing evening all around.”

“Beautiful, loved the tour through the vineyard. Very generous with sharing the wines and pours and was lovely to taste the olive oil with a few bread / cheese bites too. Ever so slightly pushing the membership but not in a bothersome way.”

“I came in during a mini rush. The employees remained calmed and worked through the orders. My bagel and cream cheese was delicious! Thank you for a yummy breakfast.”

“My husband and I ate lunch here for the first time. So good and the prices are very reasonable. We will be back Alex!”

“Loved the atmosphere! Stopped in on our way up north for work and the food was excellent service was friendly and coffee was on point! Try the Camaguey sandwich with turkey and guava jam… and their Moros y Cristianos was the best I’ve ever had! Beans were perfect and the rice tasted so moist almost like risotto. Great plantains.. I had the Cortadito coffee and it was delicious!”

“The Hostesses, Servers and Staff were truly Awesome. We had a party of 20 and everything was Wonderful. Thank you for making the wedding reception a nice memory to remember.”

“Rudy's in Buellton is delicious! Everything tastes delicious and they give big portions! They also have fair prices and they are not stingy with their yummy salsa. Their staff is really friendly and they remember your name. I love that about them. Thank you for also standing up on days like today! 1-30-26 We stand with you!”

“Food is delicious !! My favorite lunch place in Buellton!!”

“A beautiful winery in the Santa Rita Hills. One of the oldest in Santa Barbara County. Set back on a country road. Great wines. Attentive and friendly staff. Great spot to enjoy wine with your family/friends.”

“We chose Babcock Winery after reviewing the website. Our visit was everything we hoped for - a relaxing, casual and informative wine tasting experience. Jason, friendly and knowledgeable, poured the wine while offering facts about the origin of the fruit and the wine makers approach for each wine in the flight. The winery has a large indoor area and comfortable seating. We opted for one of the outdoor shady patio spaces where we could sip and enjoy snacks from home. A bonus was the company of the black winery cat. Two favorites were selected for purchase before we left Babcock Winery, the 2023 Radical Pinot Noir and the 2023 Top Cream Chardonnay.”

“Delicious!!! Highly recommend! Very authentic. And the hibiscus juice was delicious!!! After the margarita 😁”

“A wonderful place - like a little piece of Italy right here in California! Outstanding wine and the whole vibe just screams - life is beautiful! Their candles are absolutely worth taking home!”

“The most idyllic wine tasting spot! We drove past so many wineries and this one was out of this world - the service and just everything. Super happy about this extraordinary experience! The wines were super tasty as well - highly recommend going there!”

“Constantly good meals, fresh ingredients and lots of cheese, try it you’ll be pleasantly surprised.”
