“I believe it’s the only good Korean BBQ in town. It’s all-you-can-eat with two price tiers. The price got significantly more expensive compared to a few years ago, but if you are hungry, I’d say it’s still worth it! Very good selection of meat and great service. The wait can be quite long when you arrive during busy hours and/or have a large party, so be sure to arrive early! They have a parking lot in the backyard, and some free street parking spaces in front and on nearby streets. The atmosphere might not be perfect to some people as it can be a bit crowded and noisy, so make you don’t mind that too much.Parking: They have a free parking lot in the backyard. If it’s full, just drive along the street where they are usually plenty of street parking spots.“

“First thing you should know of you're a first time visitor is that parking is divided. When you pull up to the front of the restaurant, you can see that if you would've driven to the next drive way there is much more parking. This place is cute. The front entrance brings you to the bar area. Everyone is helpful and friendly. If you continue on, the outdoor patio is nice. Good ambiance. Then there is another area. Everything is clean with a bit of a garden feel. There's a little creek running through the back. Most importantly, the food and drinks were good, and not overpriced! We got a big burrito, chips, salsa, macaroni and cheese, and a taco plate. All great!“

“I had the half chicken which was delicious ! The seasoning was just right, the skin was crispy and the meat was moist and flavorful. They've got a great selection of salsas to choose from as well. The beans and rice were ok but nothing exceptional. They do have beers as well which I didn't see on their website. They offer great food at reasonable prices, would definitely go back next time I'm in the area and would recommend to anyone looking for some great chicken“

“I got a one meat plate with brisket, potato salad, and coleslaw. Brisket was nice, tender, and even further elevated by their tangy barbecue sauce. Potato salad’s a classic, super hard to get that wrong and Goodland’s is no exception. However, the coleslaw had an off-putting bitter aftertaste; I did not finish it. However, I paid $19 after taxes for just this meal. I don’t know if it’s because I don’t really eat barbecue too often or the “Santa Barbara tax”, but that seems a bit steep. Good meat, bad coleslaw, kinda pricey, decent overall.“
