33 Best Salad Restaurants in Santa Barbara

“Delicious food and great portions! The chicken shawerma plate was perfectly seasoned and tender, and the fries were crispy and flavorful. The side salad was fresh with just the right amount of feta. Loved the pita and dip too — everything tasted super fresh. Friendly service and a nice outdoor setup make it even better. Definitely coming back!“

“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.“

“I've been going to the Blue Owl with my daughters since it opened. The food is fantastic. The vibe is the closest to being in a late night New York eater. I always feel home here. And of course I love the Tuesday night open mic comedy. A staple in the Santa Barbara Comedy Scene.“

“The cinnamon roll was fabulous. We also ordered a breakfast bowl. I was a bit skeptical about mac and cheese for breakfast, but I think I've come around on that matter. You can't beat the atmosphere, the restaurant is across the street from the beach where you can watch the Santa Barbara beachgoers frolic to and fro.“

“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.“

“The pizzas are so delicious!!“

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

“Who can go wrong with Kyle?“

“We went to happy our at Little Alex's yesterday and were very happy with the whole experience. Very reasonable prices, good happy hour food and drink options, large beer selection compared to similar places, tasty salsas and bean dip, and a nice dog-friendly patio that doesn't face a busy street. Multiple vegetarian-friendly options.“

“Not like the good Olde dayz...but habe at it...hard to enjoy when you used to eat here before the franchise mania....og location but even they are getting really sloppy. Chargrilled....not hardly anymore..most places only use a flat top. Not the same as I remember. But then that's life. I like Sam's to go up the street now...“

“Best Pizza I have ever tried.“

“This is a nice sandwich place in Santa Barbara! All of their ingredients are extremely fresh and they have plenty of sandwich options. While I did appreciate the meal, I felt as though I could probably have made the sandwiches at home, especially regarding the high price. Moreover, their bread was just average. Nonetheless, worth to check out for lunch.“

“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 ?“

“Good food and friendly staff“

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

“Was so good. We loved having dinner under the olive trees. Can’t wait to go back.“

“The vegan burger (plus the combo fries and drink) is amazing. Probably the best clearly-labelled vegan burger you're going to get in the area, since it has a good patty, a good bun, and a delicious thousand island sauce, and the vegan options in IV are lacking… $10 for a vegan burger, fries, and drink is better than almost any place I've been to. Fast service, but you eat in a cafeteria-like setting. Haven't tried the black bean or hummus burger, but I'm sure they're good too. I come here every week as a lunch between my classes.“

“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.“

“14$ for a nice Chicken fillet sandwich! Very nice price compare with other restaurants inside the market, and taste really good! The seasoning of the Little Bird sandwich is quite well balanced , and the chicken fillet is already better than the chicken katsu meal in wabi sabi ( I do ordered both).“

“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 🙌👍“

“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.“

“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!“

“absolutely the best sandwiches around. Tomato basil soup is the bomb!“

“They call their own burger the best one in SB, but I would say about the classical hamburger I tasted, that it is rather on the nivel of fastfood like BK ?. However, you can add very tasty hot Peperoni, jalapeños and several (hot) salsas for free. To conclude, a nice meal with fair prices.

This restaurant is located directly at the state street in the very central downtown, which leads to a large spectrum of customers. Old ans young, students and retired people hispanics, tourists...
Dont worry about parking, the garage directly adjacent to the restaurant offers free parking for the first 75 minutes.

Wheelchair accessibility: Streetlevel“

“Lily is the best server ever and she deserves the world. Or a raise. Or both.

Food is nice! A little pricey but what isn't in this area? CPK is a favorite of my friends and family, I hope to revisit again when in the area.“

“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!“
