One bartender on a Saturday night. She rocked but was way too busy. Waited at the bar three times and each was 15-20 minutes. Wasn't even very crowded. Fries were great, beer was good, cocktails were weak and overpriced.

Really terrible experience. Terrible food and just the worst customer service. Go anywhere else on the street and you’ll be happy.

Service was friendly and nice, the decor was interesting as well.We tried 2 burgers (1 vegetarian and 1 beef), both were underwhelming.Draft beer menu is super short, like 2-3 options.

Went here on a Sunday morning for brunch. The atmosphere was great and so was the service. The dishes we ordered were Brunch Disco Fries, Brie chicken sandwich and Guacamole. The last two dishes were good.

Awesome visit and a fantastic happy hour! It's definitely worth the visit and wait for a table. It's no wonder there was a wait, as the food and cocktails were on point and delicious! Jasmine and David were excellent, both wearing a few different hats that night as they appeared short of staff. However, that did not distract from their friendliness, hospitality, and attentiveness! Btw, try the fish tacos and Peruvian Ceviche! If you're in Santa Barbara, definitely add this place to your list!

Honestly just baffled at the fake nicety of these places on this street. I’m a middle aged blonde woman- although it shouldn’t matter and I asked the front middle aged hostess FEMALE if I could use the bathroom as I had a feminine issue and she pointed me 4 blocks the opposite way to the public bathroom. I can’t get over that she was the THIRD person to do this to me. I sort of begged her and she still refused. I live in NYC, I get the bathrooms are for customers policy, but I’ve NEVER been refused the ability to use a restroom in NYC when I asked nicely. There is something wrong with the society of Santa Barbara. They may seem nice, but forget it if you need help, it’s fake.

We love this place! The vibes are immaculate! The food is pretty decent. The ahi tostada could do with some kind of cirtus and a tiny bit of spice but otherwise was tasty. The Korean chicken sandwich would've been slightly better with a tiny bit thicker piece of chicken but flavor was great! We love the super thin fries! The drinks are perfect and happy hour is an amazing deal! Well certainly be back over and over.

The food was amazing. Best chicken sandwich I ever had. When I went to thank the chef, the “host” outside with the dog met me with the most rude and dismissive response I’ve ever experienced in 25 years of dining. Will never be back because of that, and I cannot imagine the thousands of dollars they just lost because of it. Shame on you, sir.>>Aron’s snarky response says everything you should know about him. I didn’t walk into the kitchen. You know you could have been more gracious, but you weren’t. I’ve traveled the world my good man, and I’ve never encountered a more ungrateful and rude person as you. I’ll do ~you~ a solid, since it’s clear you have no experience in hospitality. You’re in the restaurant business: take some accountability and show some decency.

Super dog friendly because the staff are really friendly with our dog, food was great too. Had no idea they had doggie menu until hearing other diners mentioned as we were leaving as the waiter didn't mention nor giving us the menu, probably just forgotten otherwise we always get our girl something from the dog menu. Overall great experience will come back.
