31 Best Salad Restaurants in Santa Barbara

“I had a great experience at Nick the Greek. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. The gyro was especially good with well-seasoned meat and really tasty tzatziki. The portions were generous and the staff was friendly. Overall, it’s a great spot for a quick, delicious Greek meal.“

“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.“

“Happy Cat is a charming spot with a welcoming atmosphere and plenty of tasty options. The food was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared, with satisfying portions and great presentation. The service was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. A great place to stop by for a relaxed, delicious meal and to enjoy the view.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food, service & location is amazing. Blackened halibut sandwich was delicious.“

“The food is BUT… it is rather expensive and the side dishes cost extra. And while I know EVERYTHING is expensive these days, I find it rather offensive that they charge $5 each for teeny tiny containers of coleslaw and beans. Each one is barely enough for one person to enjoy. To get enough of either, you need to spend another $10 on top of the meat. It’s good, but it bothers me every time I order them.“

“I stopped by Chad’s in Santa Barbara, California, for breakfast. The line was pretty long when I arrived, but surprisingly, I was seated within about 10 minutes.

I ordered the steak and eggs, which came with tater tots and pancakes. The steak was flavorful, and the eggs were cooked exactly the way I asked. But I have to give a special shout out to the tater tots, they were amazing! They honestly reminded me of my childhood.

I also tried the corned beef hash, which came with potatoes, eggs, and pancakes. The corned beef was pretty good and, most importantly, wasn’t overly salty. The portion sizes for both meals were decent, and there was plenty of food.

The customer service was great, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. On top of that, you get a nice ocean view while you eat, which makes the experience even better.

Overall, I really enjoyed Chad’s. Good food, great customer service, decent portions, a clean restaurant, and a beautiful ocean view. I would absolutely return!“

“Best Pizza I have ever tried.“

“Great little place. Very clean. Service was friendly and fast. We ordered a burrito with a diablo sauce. We added steak and it came with a spoonful of sourcream on the side. The sauce was definitely homemade. We'd never had Diablo sauce.. not really a fan, but we ate it all up cause we were hungry. Maybe try a different one next time“

“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...“

“Good food and friendly staff“

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

“This is a wonderful spot for fresh and delicious fare. Not a big place, so best for take out or delivery. Cash, credit/debit card payments.

Known for take & bake pizzas (which are, indeed, quite good) this was my go to for sandwiches. Fresh baked bread and plenty of fresh ingredients and quality meats. Design your own or request one of their signature options. Salads as well, if you're in to that sort of thing.

Highly recommended!“

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

“The pizzas are so delicious!!“

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

“Panino in Downtown Santa Barbara is an absolute gem! The moment you step in, the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff make you feel right at home. Their sandwiches are a must-try; the fresh ingredients and unique combinations burst with flavor, leaving you craving more. I highly recommend the turkey pesto with provolone—it's a flavor explosion! The cozy ambiance and perfect location make it an ideal spot to relax with friends or grab a quick bite. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that I can't wait to repeat!“

“Best pizza in Santa Barbara by far 🙌👍“

“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.“

“Got a asada combo burrito to go & it’s definitely the best in town and most authentic. The meat is perfectly seasoned, the beans taste 100% authentically made. Guacamole is perfectly melted into the burrito and all contents are evenly matched nothing overpowers. If you go to Super Cucas their meat is overly seasoned, too salty and you get a handful of onions. Los agaves burrito taste plain and taste like it needs sauce. Los arroyos burrito won’t make you remember and get you bloated. All other burritos in town definitely taste super processed, salty or plain, or not seasoned right but this burrito will give you flashbacks of your mom smashing the beans in the kitchen and cutting nice chunks of meat. I spent $16 all other places charge $4 more“

“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.“

“Great quality meat in their burger. Not that, cheap meat, thin smash burger, that seems to be trending everywhere. The biggest sleeper is their salmon salad. It's awesome with great quality fish, dressing, and veggies, which makes sense being that the proprietor used to be the executive Chef at Wine Cast and Bouchon. All ingredients are quality which really matters to me. It's also right by the back bar in the Public Market so you can sit at the bar and have a cocktail or glass of wine while you eat as well. Love it!“

“Great 👍🏼 pizza 🍕 & cold beers 🍻“

“Luis, the general manager, was incredibly busy handling everything, yet he stayed friendly, fast, organized, and accurate the entire time. I made a mistake with my order, and he was genuinely happy to help fix it without making me feel bad. His professionalism, kindness, and customer service were outstanding. He definitely deserves five stars—and a raise! Thank you, Luis, for making our experience such a great one.“

“Great 👍🏼 pizza 🍕 & cold beers 🍻“

“Here from Santa Maria, worked up an appetite walkin around the zoo. What a wonderful experience it was, the lady Kerri made sure the order for a group of eleven was perfect, didn't hold back on the sauce, Mac n cheese amazing, all washed down with refreshing lemonade.
Appreciate the time n effort all the employees put in dealing with the drive thru and dine in customers.“

“推薦BBQ口味好吃😋“

“Great pizzeria, catered for all of us including my son who has allergies to gluten, milk and Soya! Chef was super helpful and has a great social media following, making pizzas in all sorts of fun shapes, he even made the garlic bread in a heart shape. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a great pizza.“
