Very disappointed I always come here and today I went to have breakfast and ordered my usual fried chicken with biscuit and gravy and since I'm pregnant I didn't finish it all so I asked for a to go box as I was on my way to the restroom. When I got back I notice only an empty to go box and my meal which was half of it left was gone I asked my server about it and they said they threw it away. It was very upsetting since I was going to pack it to go and eat the rest at home they didn't offer any discount what the gave me was a biscuit and a cup of gravy and there was no chicken which is my favorite part of the meal. I was so disgusted for the service and that they would throw away half of my meal with out my consent. I didn't take the biscuit or gravy but they still made me pay full price for just half a meal. As a local who was a loyal customer and alway had good words to say about farmer Boys I will share my story online and hope that they never do that to anyone else. I felt like they rip me off and they basically stole my meal and money.
Stopped by on a road trip. The food was incredible. I got the pasole which was made from scratch. So fresh and delicious. Hubby got the tri-tip sandwich. It was incredible! Our waitress was warm and inviting and made us feel at home. We got the cinnamon roll to go and it was the perfect little road trip treat (probably even better if eaten right away). Highly recommend!
Been Farmer Boy customer for 30-40 years. It used to be somewhat of a greasy spoon but always friendly staff and owner. We moved away 4 years ago and coming back to it was refreshing and they've made some great changes: still friendly, efficient and attentive... but food, comfort and cleanliness have gone up a few notches. Glad to know there still are places like this.
Really enjoyed the fish taco, atmosphere was sparkling clean, big glass windows with pleasant views of Carpinteria. Fun environment set up for social encounters or dining alone. Refills on the coffee and tea. Market rate prices, fast, friendly service. Also they sell moderate amount of grocery food items inside and have an ice cream window on outside. And there are several tables for outside dining on patio.
Great food for a good price! Great service! Fast . my coffee never went without refresh! And my order was followed to the letter! Precisely...?
Based on reviews, we tried Farmer Boy on our last day in SB. Nice menu but we both decided on pancakes with hash browns and bacon. Pancakes were more than adequate, but their cook really knows how to prepare hash browns. Crispy on outside, soft on inside - absolutely the best I have ever had! Bacon was a thicker cut and very flavorful. Clearly a locals diner, we felt at home and will return next time in town!
Amazing service, incredible food!!! 50 stars!!???
Delicious! I had their signature omelet. It was more than I could eat! My husband had eggs and French toast. He said his was very good. Not a very large restaurant, but there is indoor and outdoor seating.
A very nice breakfast visit (waffle combo, breakfast burger, 3 egg scramble). We were served quickly and luckily we came early enough to avoid the rush. It quickly filled up (masks required). Waitress repeatedly returned for refills and food came quickly. I wished I'd tried some of their specialities but I went to the favorites. They do a lunch also.
Farmer Boy is a staple in Santa Barbara. Been coming here for years and the service as well as the food is always consistently tasty and great!! I highly recommend this place always!! To anyone and everyone. It's easy to make a plate vegan and or vegetarian. They will work with you.
