The food, the drinks, and service, and the vibes were chefs kiss. Went on easter with my partner and had a fantastic experience. Definitely coming back on my next visit to santa barbara!

It's great - but even better: OUTSIDE! A covered patio with tables, chairs, a few decent heaters, & friendly staff. The restaurant (inside and out) is closed in the evening. So come for breakfast and lunch!

Note below: to me, 'dine in' means AT the place, while 'take out' means you leave with your food. The patio is 'dine in' also - to me, anyway.

Parking: It's a big outdoor parking lot with plenty of spots. I have never seen it as a 'full lot.'

Wheelchair accessibility: Some shallow ramps between parking lot, curb ramps, and the first floor of all or most inside.

A real locals place for decades. Wonderful staff and a terrific Mahi Burger with good cocktails. Breakfast with a smile!

My favorite local diner with lots of the usual diner options but also some unique dishes such as the Eggs Benedict on mashed potatoes with side salad (in photo). Very friendly and efficient staff, never waiting for a refill on iced tea or coffee.

Parking: Plenty of spots in shared parking area. It's never been full for me.

Favorite family breakfast spot. If you go early there isn't a wait, though by 9am it can be crowded on the weekends.
