Walked by many restaurants in downtown Santa Barbara. This particular place caught our attention because of the ambiance. We ordered the roasted turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and veggies. Very flavorful , mashed potatoes you can tell are home made and not from the box. I had the wild caught salmon with the same side items and let me tell you. Both of these dishes were delicious!! I highly recommend this spot when visiting SB!!! Customer service was friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was laid back. If you’re not hungry it’s also a good spot for a drink and hangout

This is a really nice restaurant with charming decor and ambiance from years gone by and is very well maintained. I went there for lunch on a Friday and I had the Omaha open face tri-tip sandwich and shrimp cocktail. Both were very tasty. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Our glasses were kept full and plates cleared promptly when finished. I hope to eat here again soon.

Great food with large portions. Excellent service, and a beautiful location. Got the fish and chips and loved it. Everyone else in our large party enjoyed their food as well.

We came as a group of 5 and the food was terrible. Ordered a hamburger and it was burnt! The patty was dry, the bun was soggy and burnt in the inside. One of our food didn’t arrive until 15-20 minutes after the other 4 dishes we ordered. Terrible having paid $17 for a burnt burger!

Classic Santa Barbara. Menu has everything you could ever want. Breakfast is delicious. Service is friendly and fantastic (shout-out to Denise – she is fabulous). Freshly squeezed orange juice is super tasty. Coffee is perfectly strong. As are the cocktails. Love the old school decor and the lighting makes the restaurant feel so warm and welcoming. Make sure you stop in if you’re just visiting SB!

A great spot for breakfast. After a morning walk to the Santa Barbara Mission. We arrived a few minutes before 11:30 and they still provided us with a wonderful breakfast. The manager was so courteous. As well as the waiter always checking on us as we sat outside. Eggs were perfect. I even ordered a Cape cod which was mostly vodka. Thank you. It was a wonderful way to start our Saturday afternoon.

I haven’t had ole American breakfast this good in years! Ordered simple scrambled eggs with toast, hashbrown and bacon and plain steel cut oatmeal with brown sugar but it does have that old school, homey flavor to it which is hard to encounter these days. Pies looked good but unfortunately too full to order. Need to come here hungry next time!

Chicken and waffles were good, but not what I expected at the price. Definitely can get better food for less by driving a little farther away from the tourist hotspot. Also their definition of “two waffles” is what most people would call half a waffle.

I really love Joe’s Cafe. I went for the first time with my best friend, and we had a very good time. He had a hamburger and it disappeared so fast! I laugh a lot about my onion rings because it was so much, like a small Pisa tower. The place was packed so that means it’s popular! Vintage atmosphere, good drinks and food, and reasonable prices.
