Tortilla Beach Santa Barbara

The chicken tortilla soup is a terrific lunch, large or small size. Good iced tea. And thank heavens a good old plain ice cream Sunday

People are so nice…. Excellent service

We came here on a Sunday evening and were able to be seated immediately - surprising since it was very busy around UCSB. Seemed like burgers were their "thing" but we weren't in the mood... knowing In-N-Out was on our agenda the next day. Instead I chose the Chop Chop Salad and my wife had Tuna Salad Sandwich. Both were good and flavorful. My salad was easily sharable. The 805 beer and cold and refreshing after a day a driving the 101.

The server in bar area sucked. Was there on Sunday at 2:30 PM. Sat in bar area couple minutes later. It was not that busy and although people that were coming in after I did were getting served I felt like I was invisible. After close to 15 minutes went by I flagged down an employee and asked about getting service. Shortly after the short stocky guy with black hair working the bar area came over and asked what I wanted. After dealing with him for couple minutes and not liking my experience I decided to leave. As I was leaving I remarked that the service was terrible. He then proceeded to laugh at the fact that his terrible service and communication was why I was leaving. Will not be going back anytime soon

We've given them a try several times, and we always leave with the same opinion: This is just an overpriced burger joint. You pay more for the atmosphere than you do for the food. On our last visit the fries were cold and bland, and the burgers were average. The salads are good, though, and the drinks are decent. The service was polite and attentive, no complaints there. Santa Barbara is full of places serving a gourmet burger, so I doubt we'll give Islands any more chances to impress us.
