Holy Cow! What a delightful roadside adventure! Our day in the Santa Ynez Valley was COLD. This Hobit like watering hole was chilly as chilly could be. But did it matter?? NO. We had terrific food, a staff that made us feel like the most important guests ever and did I say, a terrific lunch. This was definitely an OMG stop on our trip through SoCal. Do not miss this historic little place. It's worth the windy twisty roads to get there!!

Cold Spring Tavern is well worth the stop. Parking can be a little challenging, but the experience more than makes up for it. Great customer service, a relaxed atmosphere, and an excellent spot for a midday break if you’re visiting the nearby park. Beautiful setting and a really enjoyable stop overall.

The Cold Spring Tavern is an incredibly unique rare and special place to visit. Coming from Santa Barbara you have a world-class drive through the mountains with a view of the entire town and local ocean. Amazing. Situated under a bridge and in the somewhat quite cold crevice of the mountains is a one-of-kind stagecoach stop restaurant that serves a famous tri-tip sandwich on Saturdays and Sundays and at the right hours an outdoor band. Not to be missed. Like straight out of a movie. $16 for the trip tip. Bring cash! Makes it faster.

Great food and service. I would definitely recommend visiting during the week. We visited on a Sunday and it was extremely busy, standing room only, and the parking situation isn't the best.

Unique, special local gem! So close to SB but makes you feel transported to another place completely. Tri tip sammies are legendary and the live music is always a vibe.
