11 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Santa Barbara

“Perfect little spot on the pier for a bite. We split a fish and chips which was perfect to share. The fish was SO fresh and the batter was light and crispy, it didn't overpower the taste of the fish at all. It wasn't too greasy and the tarter sauce was nice. Fries were crispy. Staff was very friendly and the service was quick. Good value too and can't beat the location.“

“The manager here is very friendly and helpful. I can't remember the last time I had mcdonald's and said yum but this time I was very much enjoying my meal, the deals here at mcdonald's BOGO for the double cheeseburger is unbeatable. The staff as well deserve the biggest commendations for being speedy and friendly when it's busy. Highly recommend here“

“This has got to be one of the craziest locations I've been to. Thought it looked a bit chaotic, they knew what they were doing. Service was quick and friendly. We were in and out within 10 mins.

Parking: 3 drive thru lanes available, cannot block street if utilizing the drive thru.“

“If I could give 6 stars I would. This is singlehandedly the best taco bell I've ever been to, amazing portion sizes and friendly staff. Every worker here deserves a massive bonus and I would recommend this place to anyone :)

Parking: Asphalt“

“This review is long overdue and unfortunately really really wanted it to be a 5 star! I’m a food courier so I come here (as well as all the fast food chains in SB/Goleta) almost every night. I especially come to the 24 hr restaurants bc I work the graveyard. When I come in and see their lead Marcella working I immediately know it’s going to be a pleasant visit! This woman and her team just kill it every single time! It can be wall to wall busy or dead as can be but no matter what Marcella always has a smile and always welcomes me with genuine warmth! She clearly can see how hard I work and she’s even asked me how I was doing as a rude customer was non stop ranting at her for some stupid reason! She works so hard and obviously cares very much about her job here. Her team listens to her and responds so well that you can tell they have much respect for her. It can get really crazy busy there especially on the weekends after the bars close. She handles the insane amount of sudden orders like a boss and keeps the drunkards at bay! If I could I’d write you a novel about the last fiesta weekend where I thought for sure she’d break I would! I was literally stepping over drunk people that Saturday night! She kept her composure, never hesitated, stayed calm and professional and pushed out those orders like it was nothing! If she’s not already she’s deserves max pay! At least a future manager! Bravo Marcella! Easily my favorite late night employee!
So I really dislike giving bad reviews but they lost a star bc on 2 nights a week (I think) there is another lead who is the complete opposite of Marcella. In fact I wouldn’t normally even say anything except that this girl hates me for some reason I’m not aware of. Everytime I come in and she’s the lead I know that she’s going to first give me a super horrible dirty look, ask me what I want or just nod with an eye roll (which I’ve learned means what do you want), act extremely annoyed and put off, put my order on the counter without saying a word or even looking at me (I’ve actually waited for her to tell me it’s my order and the running time is 16 minutes she let me stand there), never saying hello , goodbye thank you just nothing. I’ve tried asking her if I’ve done something? Just looks confused. I make sure I’m polite always greeting her saying thank you but no matter what just loathes my presence! Which would be fine if I deserved it but honestly can’t think of any reason why she’s so rude! I literally avoid going there, decline nice paying deliveries when she’s working…. So I knocked off a star. Ultimately I recommend this location I’ll just hope that the rude girl likes you more than she likes me. Marcella is a rockstar!!“

“The older Asian lady here is so nice.I come here just to say hi.The food is what you expect from any Yoshinoya operated properly.If you don't mind the thinly sliced beef, I absolutely love their beef bowls.Large beef, no juice, extra grilled onions is the way to go!“

“Wow , my girst time in America and my first philly cheese steak , absolutely gorgeous and such good value for money yumm“

“Classic Taco Bell food. The staff was friendly, the place was super clean, the order was correct. No drive through, just park in front on the street or behind the building there’s a parking lot.

Vegetarian options: You can always sub any meat options out for black beans.“
