This was a great location for Sunday football. The staff was so friendly and even made me a virgin Bloody Mary and a “snickity snack” plate when I said my favorite thing back when I could drink was bloody mary’s with a mixed plate of snacks. We stayed for HOURS eating and drinking. My virgin bloody mary was soooo good that I bet it would be even better with alcohol.

We don’t leave reviews for good restaurants because their reputation speaks for itself…. We used to love this place, but now under new ownership and the food is disgraceful. I’d rather have McDonald’s and that’s not an exaggeration. And we paid $120 for an overcooked chicken sandwich, a small cheeseburger with microwaved bacon and American cheese (when my wife asked for cheddar instead of pepper jack), 2 cocktails and one appetizer of rubbery popcorn chicken. Service was actually good and the fries were good, but we don’t want to pay $120 for french fries and friendly service. Will not be returning.

Creekside came through big time when our outdoor wedding got rainy. With short notice they accommodated our every need. They provided excellent service with a smile and genuine care.

Overpriced, small portions. Calamari was 18 bucks and was tiny. Food is decent, but not worth the price. Was better before it changed. If you’ve got money to spend, then this place is for you.

While visiting friends in Santa Barbara they took me to this amazing restaurant and bar. I got a short history lesson on it from the newest owner Dave. Apparently the bar has been in existence for quite a long time and now after an amazing remodel it’s now a family friendly bar restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. It includes plenty of room for small parties. Nighttime entertainment can be enjoyed here weekly. Staff was friendly and helpful. Drinks were delicious and I noticed quite a large array of wines and imported and exported beers. As for the food I chose the creek burger in substitute of the beef for chicken which was delicious. My friends has the French dip and the hickory smoked wings all from a easy to read menu. As with all of my past reviews I will only review a place that I would highly recommend this restaurant definitely fits in that category of a five-star recommendation from this traveler.

Update 1/17/26: Although the chicken burrito is now $22, food quality is excellent and they’ve returned to table service. Still a great atmosphere, and a better overall experience. Great place to watch a game.
Update 1/29/23: Unfortunately our $18 chicken burrito with corn, bell pepper, onion, and guacamole had virtually no chicken and zero corn, bell pepper, or onion. They made us a new one but that was 15 minutes later and our friends had already finished. The house salad with nothing but junk lettuce left a lot to be desired too. We’ve had good food here before but today was not one of those days. At least the French fries were good. Sometimes they get in too much of a rush, but we’ll be back again.
Cool hangout, plenty of comfortable outdoor dining, never too busy, good beer selection, food is pricey but good. Easy parking. Very relaxing and a good place to watch sports.

Nothing to write home about. Pricey for what you get. Dry quesadilla albiet decent size, no toppings, just dry tortillas with cheese. Couldn’t even get it down, asked for salsa. Brought 1 tablespoon and charged $3 extra. Ridiculous. And charged us twice. Would never return. Plus we ate outside on patio with group and the traffic noise was deafening.
Will never return. Save your $, go somewhere else. Quality and pricing was unacceptable. There are much better places elsewhere.
Would rate 1 as low, out of 5 stars. With tax and tip was nearly $40 per person. No beverages, just the dry tortilla with some cheese inside. Not even hot. Ugh!

I highly recommend this fabulous hidden jewel in the SB/Goleta area. It’s been under new management in recent months and the changes are obviously 5 Star! The margaritas are the best in Santa Barbara ! The staff is super friendly and helpful in ordering and the food comes out not only piping hot and fast but delicious. I’m so happy an upgraded hip place to go for dining and entertainment is back in town.

Our friends took us there and it was a very enjoyable experience. Very casual and laid-back. We ate outside on the patio which is very large. We were all hungry and when our food arrived, we dove in and I didn’t get pics. My hubby and I shared a small Napa Apple Salad which was not that small and very good. Our friends ordered the BBQ Ribs with Grilled Corn on the Cob, Baked Beans, Coleslaw and a Dinner Roll. My husband and I ordered and shared the Grilled Salmon with Lemon Herb Sauce, Coleslaw, Baked Beans, French Fries and a Dinner Roll. All of our foods were well prepared, served hot and made our taste buds very happy. The only negative was the bartender. One of our friends ordered a margarita and it was small, full of ice and weak. He took it back to get it remade with smaller amount of ice and the bartender would not accommodate him. Said he’d been bartending for 23 years and he made a good margarita, definitely full of himself and isn’t the customer always right? My friend had me taste it and I had to agree with him, it was not good The overall experience was good other than the drink issue.

I just visited The Creekside Restaurant on Saturday June 19, 2021. This place is very nice and the staff is very friendly . It’s a great place to take your family and friends and have a great time. It’s a down to earth place. The food is good and the price is good as well. You can dress casual.
