“Just love the food and the employees always greet me with a smile. I am definitely a regular customer. Keep it up Chubbies!!!“

“Stopped to charge the car nearby and had lunch. Food was fantastic! Highly recommend the meatloaf and double toad in the hole! Hash browns were crispy and buttery. Will be back when we’re in town next! ❤️“

“Friendly staff. Great Happy Hour specials.“

“Not like the good Olde dayz...but habe at it...hard to enjoy when you used to eat here before the franchise mania....og location but even they are getting really sloppy. Chargrilled....not hardly anymore..most places only use a flat top. Not the same as I remember. But then that's life. I like Sam's to go up the street now...“

“Happy Cat is a charming spot with a welcoming atmosphere and plenty of tasty options. The food was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared, with satisfying portions and great presentation. The service was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. A great place to stop by for a relaxed, delicious meal and to enjoy the view.“

“Not only was I invited in by the chic environment but it felt like I was going to some place classic. My burger was fatty and delicious with each bite. The fries were crispy as they should be with house sauce and ketchup. Finally the ice cream shake was a smore chocolate shake that made me feel as if it was frozen right next to the campfire. I cant recommend this place enough to the next visitor who comes here. I will return for more delicious experiences.“

“Increíble vista, buena comida“

“Food, service & location is amazing. Blackened halibut sandwich was delicious.“

“Delicious hamburgers. My wife and granddaughter have Celiac disease and it was fantastic that they could get great tasting sandwiches, Mesa burger and grilled cheese sandwich, along with very good fries. Staff was very helpful and responsive (although I think they may have had a long day). The gluten free hamburger buns were neither too thick nor crumbly like most. My pineapple burger was delicious. There were plenty of open tables on a Friday at 5pm. Modern pop music and laid back vibe with several customers with their friendly dogs. It is counter service. Bathroom needed cleaning but usable for washing hands after eating. We will be returning.“

“Had a fantastic night at islands! Clay Shuck is the most amazing worker I've ever seen, based on what I saw definitely employee of the month! Checks all the boxes - facey, smart, and kind. Ladies check this place out, Clay Shuck is a snag!“

“they are so Lovely, and have an adorable food“

“Friendly, knowledgeable service. Clean, warm, peaceful environment Amazing menu Quality lunch Thank you- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Super fast service, great food, great price. Highly reccomend the milkshakes, I had the oreo milkshake and its one of the best I've ever had. I don't really reccomend the mac n cheese or the chicken sandwiches, they're just okay, but the burgers are good.“

“The food is BUT… it is rather expensive and the side dishes cost extra. And while I know EVERYTHING is expensive these days, I find it rather offensive that they charge $5 each for teeny tiny containers of coleslaw and beans. Each one is barely enough for one person to enjoy. To get enough of either, you need to spend another $10 on top of the meat. It’s good, but it bothers me every time I order them.“

“Very rarely do we go anywhere to eat and we are both pleased. He ordered a mushroom spinach omelet with chicken, and i had the Dubai pancake combo, with my eggs scrambled well done and my bacon extra crispy. This is usually where my order goes south. Not today! Everything was amazing! Those pancakes were so delicious! Oh, I guess his omelet was the best ever!!“

“I absolutely loved this place during college and still daydream about their Arroz con Pollo bowl. Definitely the best option on campus for fresh, delicious and filling food. I recommend stopping by around 2:30, as its a little less busy than usual and you skip over the lunch rush.“

“Great quality meat in their burger. Not that, cheap meat, thin smash burger, that seems to be trending everywhere. The biggest sleeper is their salmon salad. It's awesome with great quality fish, dressing, and veggies, which makes sense being that the proprietor used to be the executive Chef at Wine Cast and Bouchon. All ingredients are quality which really matters to me. It's also right by the back bar in the Public Market so you can sit at the bar and have a cocktail or glass of wine while you eat as well. Love it!“

“Luis, the general manager, was incredibly busy handling everything, yet he stayed friendly, fast, organized, and accurate the entire time. I made a mistake with my order, and he was genuinely happy to help fix it without making me feel bad. His professionalism, kindness, and customer service were outstanding. He definitely deserves five stars—and a raise! Thank you, Luis, for making our experience such a great one.“

“This place is great. Really enjoyed the experience for burger week. We have been in a few times for the Taco Tuesday special and have gotten to go burritos a few times. Always good.

One word of warning, it's not fast. Not a great option if you're in a rush.“

“推薦BBQ口味好吃😋“

“Fantastic food and outdoor party possibilities! Service was slow, 2 bartenders with a line out 2 doors and waitstaff no where to be found. I’d definitely return maybe not on a weekend night, but the food and drinks were great.“

“Alma was excellent, she was smiling the whole time and so helpful to everyone she came in contact with and that is rare in this day and age of customer service. The owner happened to be there and I gave her high ratings said she was top notch. I don't eat fast food but when I do the experience is usually subpar but this experience was excellent today! Their breakfast burrito are great when you are out of town and needing something quick and good. Thank you Alma for the excellent customer you provided me today!“

“Stopped by after a local recommended this place and it was well with the stop for drinks and a great snack! We had frose, burgers and tacos and everything was so delish! We especially liked that it was dog friendly and had a puppy menu! 🐾“

“Stop here if you are on the road home or to your destination. Rebecca is the whole reason to stop by here. She is very personable and ready to help customers. It’s a nice, chill environment inside and the food was good. In an age of kiosks (yuck, I hate that word), the staff are making sure that you are eating and feel welcomed.“

“A Beautiful OLD Fashion McDonalds in Downtown SANTA Barbara Beach Town boasting true ol' school architecture & retro-vibes......authentic signage....Adobe fahsion & southwestern feel.....brings you back to the past....Plan to spend a few extra pennies for your favorite treats, since we are near the playa...and the Beverly Hills of the area here.“

“he menu is impressive. There are tons of options sushi, bowls, wraps, desserts and most stuff is raw or mostly raw, with really interesting flavor combinations. I especially loved the rainbow wrap & some of the juice choices. Presentation is beautiful.“
