If you’re in Santa Barbara, you can’t miss Bossie’s Kitchen for either lunch or dinner – both are great! Every time we’re in town we make a stop or two if time allows. The staff is friendly and courteous, outdoor seating is nice, and the dishes are consistently excellent. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve tried on the menu and would also recommend the specials as those have also been quite delicious. The food and vibe here are great!

Great place to grab large portion for lunch if you are in the Milpas area. We would have liked the chicken more crispy, maybe it was not roasted enough? The portions are big! I love the inside atmosphere and deco. The donuts are the best in Santa Barbara.

Bossie’s is a true local gem. The food never fails to amaze me. The peach salad is an absolute standout, but every dish feels thoughtfully and lovingly homemade. The servers are attentive and make everyone feel genuinely welcome, specially the young lady from Argentina! You can’t miss this spot.

My favorite lunch spot in Santa Barbara. Even my impatient teenager will happily wait for the food here because of its high quality. We like the half sandwich and side door lunch. My teenager loves the turkey sandwich with mac and cheese and I love the BLT with side salad (citrus or peach salad). I would say it’s the best BLT I’ve ever had and I’ve had quite a few. The daily soup special is also worth considering, with great bread on the side. Fresh iced tea too.
Can be a bit crazy on peak at it’s also popular with the local high school kids so we try to get there around 11:30 or after 1. Great pastries too.
Summer update: food still great, but kitchen was slower when we visited. Don’t come here if you’re in a rush, but this place really deserves a visit for lunch when you have say 75+ mins.

We went because of a referral from a TV show and we were not disappointed. The service was excellent, the food was exquisite, the donuts are spectacular, the place is beautiful, very familiar, I left very happy and satisfied. Highly recommended.

Visiting the area stopped here for lunch to takeout. I ordered the Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich. Also selected a Berry Pistachio donut, A Chocolate Pistachio Sea Salt Cruller, and a Brown Butter-Miso Walnut Sesame cookie. The sandwich was fabulous. Great flavors would definitely get that again. The sweets though weren’t my favorite. Especially at that price point I was expecting amazing. And the flavors just weren’t there for me. I wish I could have tried the Passion Fruit Coconut donut but it was sold out already. And the Brown Butter Vanilla Cruller was all taken by a group of ladies in front of me and they were raving about those. Also, when I got home the Berry donut had no frosting on it because it was stuck to the inside of the bag they slide them into so that was also disappointing. But it’s a cute restaurant. Love the atmosphere inside and out. And very friendly staff.

On two separate visits to Santa Barbara I have been brought here by different hosts. They are obviously doing something right at Bossie’s Kitchen. We had the Korean fried chicken, and a grilled cheese sandwich with avocado. Both were delicious. We had some donuts for dessert to top off a great meal. The service was great and the casual dining was very relaxing on a perfect California evening.

Bossies is the best and their food is so fresh! Christina and Lauren are always so welcoming and their food never disappoints! Their Chicken Pot Pies are the biggest hit with my 93 year old father as they make these from scratch each week and are amazing!

First of all, you need to try the crullers. just skip the meal, and go straight for dessert. They are THAT GOOD. I had the citrus salad (all local produce!) w perfectly cooked salmon for protein. So good! My friends had a grilled cheese, which looked amazing, and was a good size to split bt 2 adults. Another friend had a burger and truffle fries! Yummmmm! Also, get a cruller. lol! Will be back!

Ok I’ll give my full review in a bit after I eat. For first impressions… the smell is wonderful, the staff is great, love the smile.. the god looks good and smells better
After eating I think I’ll still give this place a 5 star review although the rotisserie chicken, in my humble opinion could have been more crispy and flavorful. Overall the side dishes were wonderful. I would definitely come back when in the area.
