Sambo's Restaurants Reviews

Great spot for breakfast. Delicious food, excellent service, fun atmosphere. Large patio across from the beach for outdoor dining.

Walked by a few times and Chads was always busy so decided to try for breakfast. Ordered the two egg breakfast with bacon, home fried (red) potatoes and sourdough toast. A little disappointed they don't have hash browns. Everything was good and the portions were decent. My wife ordered the pancakes with poached eggs. The pancakes were very good. Light, airy and fluffy and tasted great. Not denser at all. They cooked her poached eggs perfect. My wife and I really liked the pancakes.

First time here and it was ok. The food wasn t extraordinary. The best part was the mini chocolate chip muffins they serve you while you wait for your food. Those were delicious! My waiter was awesome. However, a hostess brought us our food and asked if I needed anything else. I said salt & pepper and she NEVER brought it, no one ever brought it, and I didn t hear from a single soul til I was pretty much done with my food. Which was unfortunate because the eggs had zero flavor. They were also dry. So this definitely put a damper on the overall experience. Especially when I seen this same young lady give salt & pepper to a lady at the table directly in front of me . The mimosa flight was good and strong. There s another positive. However, I don t think I would be back.

A really wonderful breakfast! The starter muffins were delicious and the coffee was strong. The Denver omelette was really great with a tortilla-thin amount of egg. The staff was all super and attentive.

Would visit again, no question.

Dang. I should of went with my gut but the view lured me in. The view is great and the service was a 5 star. So how did I come up with a 2 star rating?

I had coffee and the bacon breakfast sandwich. The coffee is very close to being undrinkable. So so bitter. The breakfast sandwich was served on a McDonald s bun. I swear. Go order one and see for yourself. I m not sure how you screw up a sandwich with cheese, bacon and egg but they managed. If you are the owner reading this go taste your food with an open mind.

Oh, The fruit was good but that doesn t get you a 3 star. Ok, off to a walk on the beach.

Fried French toast was delicious! Crispy and light! Fresh muffins were great! Mimosas are really strong for the price which was surprising. Definitely will be back!

One of the best places to enjoy your breakfast. The location is unique and you can see the beach while having your meals if have outside seats. Their chocolate chip corn bread muffins are so good and fresh. Sandwiches and omelette are so good and cooked well. Belgium waffle with Real syrup is recommended.

Chad's was the first restaurant we decide to go during our trip and our decision was made on 3 points: view, food quality and price. Well, we didn't get disappointed, it was great way to start the day. The peach mimosa was amazing - but if you are open to start your experience in a cool way, give a try on 4 small shots of 4 different flavor (we love it!). Staff very nice, quickly wait list. If you are gluten free person, please try the gluten free Belgium waffle, it's the best I've had!

I'm sure if it's the same owners as Sambos but this was my first time here after covid struck and the food quality and the service is what I'm used to get from Sambos so still one of my favorite breakfast spots in the Santa Barbara area.

This place is AMAZING!!! Located in Santa Barbara, CA this is a must visit for amazing food. We ate at Chad's first day outdoor dining returned to CA.

Their hollandaise sauce is the smoothest, silkiest, most beautiful sauce ever! The 1957 Breakfast sandwich on a bagel was deliciously cooked, and the eggs were buttery. The California Breakfast Burrito was filling, well seasoned, and sort fresh. The Tiger Bites had great taste.

The mini-muffins they bring to the table were a special treat. Still warm because they came straight from the oven to our table. Simply put: wonderful location to pause and grab some fabulous food!
