I went here for dinner. I ordered a turkey burger patty with lettuce, grilled onions, and cheese. I also ordered their cream of cauliflower soup. There was plenty of open seating, and the food runner brought both items within 15 minutes after ordering it. The turkey patty was cooked perfectly and tasted great. The cream of cauliflower soup was just so so. It was somewhat bland, in flavoring. Will visit again and try another soup of the day.

This place is a Santa Barbara institution. There's a reason it's lasted so long as the food is delicious and fresh. Don't sleep on the tahini salad dressing!

This is one of our favorite restaurants in Santa Barbara. They offer large portions of healthy, vibrant proteins and veggies. They have two lovely outdoor patios and prompt service. As an SB local, however, I sincerely wish they'd offer some more gluten-free options. I would love to be able to order a sandwich or have a slice of their cornbread, which could easily be made gluten-free.

The food is great! My biggest issue was the price difference from the outside advertised price and the price inside. I asked for the outside price and they refused. Please update your pricing.
