“The worker bee is a family favorite of ours. My husband and I visited in 2019 on vacation and found this stop, and we have since relocated to the area and visit The Worker Bee at least once per month. The owners are so incredibly sweet and accommodating. The food is delicious. We've never had a bad meal here. Highly recommend you give this spot a try“

“Travelling with my mother, sister and wife up to Central Coast and we discovered this amazing pitstop. Really really great food; burgers are huge and delicious varieties, the chili cheese fries incredible, my favourite the fish tacos were the ideal lunch considering the location. The large and spacious outdoor seating area is right on the beach with spectacular views, especially on a clear sunny day as it was for us. Beware the trains though; the tracks are literally feet from the garden - hold on to your margarita!! Next time were travelling north, we will make a point of stopping here. It's on our list!“

“We are staying at Best Western, which is across the street from Clementines. We got in late and wanted something convenient for dinner. We were not expecting much given the location. It took us less than 5 minutes to walked over. We were greeted by a warm, cozy dining area. This family owned restaurant serves up a delicious set meal. Entrees come with freshly baked bread, salad, soup and dessert. Bread and split pea soup were made there, and it was so delicious. The soup was flavorful and creamy. Bread was served warm and moist. The salad was fresh and refreshing. We split a NY steak, and it was nicely seasoned and cooked to our specifications. Everything was just delicious. Even the potatoes on the side were so good. We asked for the recipe, and the waitress told us it was a family secret! Well, this spot is a gem, and if your in the area, give it a try!“

Events by Rincon American •
3805 Santa Claus Ln, Carpinteria

“Booking our wedding at Rincon Beach Club was the BEST decision we ever made!! Our wedding day was better than we imagined. It truly felt magical! We were able to enjoy our special day and feel present with our guests (which is unheard of according to our friends and family), and that's because the staff at RBC are exceptional! We had the pleasure of working with Courtney, who made the whole process super easy for us. She's professional, very knowledgeable and always answered our many questions with a smile. She coordinated with all our vendors and made sure our vision come to life! We can't thank you enough Courtney!! RBC has the BEST food! We, and our guests, are still talking about the food from our wedding (almost a month later!). RBC has amazing food, amazing staff, just an amazing venue overall!! We LOVE RBC and highly recommend it to all future brides and grooms. 10/10“

“I lived three years in Carp and for some reason I never thought about going to Zookers. I think the name threw me off even though people would tell me I should go there. Finally after driving through Carp on my daily commute, my son and I decided we should give it a try. He really wanted the fried chicken sandwich however that item was not available on the dinner menu so he went for the burger instead and I had a tofu dish. We got some bread too. Let me tell you we were shocked how good everything tasted! The food was incredible - every bite a delight. His pup style burger cooked and seasoned to perfection. ( mind you my son is a burger snob) - and the potatoes crispy and super tasty. My tofu waiter dish was also really good. Pretty much every bite including the bread basket was amazing. We really wanted to try the dessert and the staff was so nice to split it for us since we were too full for the whole portion alone. The presentation was spot on too. Even though it's in a mini mall once you enter this culinary oasis you immediately forget that the sketchy albertson parking lot. The next day we decided to order the fried chicken sandwiches to go. And let me tell you they did not disappoint either , probably the best fried chicken I had in a long time. We could not wait to eat them at home so we started to nibble on them outside Starbucks and had many people approach us where we got these incredible tasty looking sandwiches. I still can't believe we have not gone there sooner and most reviewers on here seem to agree with me that this is the best restaurant in carp if not Santa Barbara. It had a very inviting feeling to it, a place where many people seem to return for a meal and beautiful local artwork on the wall for sale. We will be coming back for sure!“

“Service with a smile and good food to boot. It was relatively quiet I came in at around 10 am. Their smile comes across as genuinely happy for you to be there. I got a basic 2 sausage, egg,pancake order and the sausage was genuinely bursting with flavor eggs were yummy and pancakes were solid. In the middle of my breakfast a patron was leaving and the owners says see you tomorrow thank you. And I completely understand why someone would have such loyal customers. I highly recommend you come sit down and eat here if you can“
