“We are regulars here, sometimes the chef comes out and greets his customers, and make sure they’re enjoying the food. Everything we’ve ever had here is absolutely amazing and delicious, the service is impeccable for two years we come here at a regular basis probably once every two months, and it’s a very enjoyable time.Kid-friendliness: It’s a family atmosphere“
“Just had breakfast/brunch this morningSaw something new to me on their specials board, Tamale Benedict, with chipotle drizzle and poached eggs!!! This is a must try and should be on the menu more often. This tasted so spectacular I can't even tell you how flavorful this was.“
“Restaurant is tucked away in old Orcutt, pretty popular with your typical American breakfast offerings. Due to its popularity, there is a wait, but it wasn’t terribly long. The food was good, the atmosphere is that of your typical cafe, the kitchen staff is fast and on point. The service was okay, the waitress looked like she didn’t want to be there, no smile, no politeness, nothing. I don’t know if she was having a bad day, but there was no need to be standoff and constantly roll her eyes. Overall 4 stars for food, but service left a lot to be desired.“
“Great food and atmosphere! We went today for Easter and even though it was super busy, our waitress was amazing and didn't skip a beat. Jackie, the manager, is outstanding and our kids loved seeing the Easter bunny there. Perfect place for the whole family.“
“Steakhouse Gold!! Ambiance is an Impressive Nod to the history of the Restaurant and Santa Maria Bbq heritage! Off the beaten path from 101 south of Santa Maria, Far West Tavern is a Destination experience both for travelers and locals alike. The vibe is homey and the staff is downright friendly and gracious. My husband and I have been enjoying Santa Maria style Bbq at home for decades but this was our first time making the pilgrimage to Far West Tavern. It did not disappoint!!! We started our evening with a lovely pour of a Central Coast GSM. The meals are so very generous that we opted to skip the appetizer course. Hubby ordered the 7 oz Filet Mignon meal and I ordered the Beef skewers that the server recommended along with a side salad. A delicious bread basket, vegetable tray and what I would consider the house made ranch beans were brought to the table- very much familiar Santa Maria Bbq sides including the house salsa. My husband was brought shrimp cocktail to begin his meal and next was the clam chowder that he is still raving about, the next day! My side salad was a generous helping of fresh mixed greens, shredded carrots, croutons and garnished with a watermelon radish shaving on top with house made dressings on the side. When my husband's main course was brought out, it was such a big portion and served aside a twice baked potato. The cut of the meat wasn't quite what a Filet Mignon is typically but it was so flavorful. The timing was a bit off and my plate didn't arrive, so my husband shared the perfectly cooked steak and potato which were delicious. The table next to us noticed our meal and commented to the waiter that their dinner was delivered to our table. They were right and we were enjoying their 14oz cowboy cut steak. About this time my beef skewers arrived which were so tender- melt in your mouth - with a chimichurri sauce to complement the flavor! How was the staff going to handle this mix up in the kitchen? Our waitress was wonderful and she apologized to both our tables and made everyone happy!! They were brought their original order, and their wine along with other items were comped. For our table they comped my beef skewers because they didn't arrive until my husband was almost finished and they sent us home with my husband's original filet steak in a to-go box. Mistakes are made but it's how they're handled that makes the lasting impression. For food, service and ambiance, this is a winner!!“
