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.“

“This cafe was wonderful. I ordered a toasted marshmallow latte and it was perfect. My husband and I really enjoyed the food we ordered, and the service was exceptional. Every employee there was so friendly and continually walked around asking if anyone needed anything, or if they could clear plates off the tables. Happy Cat Eats also happens to be in a great location situated right across from the wharf. We had a great experience here and will definitely be back when we are 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.“

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!!“

“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...“

“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.“

“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.“

“Super fast service, great food, great price. Highly reccomend the milkshakes, I had the oreo milkshake and its one of the best I've ever had. I don't really reccomend the mac n cheese or the chicken sandwiches, they're just okay, but the burgers are good.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best pizza in Santa Barbara by far 🙌👍“

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

“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!“

“Great food and the kids exhaled the pizza. 10 out of 10“

“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“

“Great 👍🏼 pizza 🍕 & cold beers 🍻“

“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!“

“My son and I love CPK and decided to stop at this location on our way back to L.A. from Paso Robles. He orders the pepperoni pizza and I get the Italian chopped salad(half) with grilled shrimp, yum! Gluten free of course. I wanted to write this review to highlight the wonderful service provided at this location. There was an issue with a gift card and bonus cards I purchased over the holidays. Our waitress was great and she referred the issue to Stephanie and wow not only was she very kind but she also was diligent in figuring out what happened and quickly resolved it and made sure we were taken care of and happy when we were done. Thank you so much Stephanie!“
