Reviews for Timbers Roadhouse in Goleta, CA
Update 8/16/22. Good lunch on their outside patio. Salad and chicken sandwich we're both excellent. Cool place, great... atmosphere. Food was ok, not great. Beef rib (yes, 1) was underwhelming, especially for the price. Small portion and acombination of overcooked and too fatty meant we didn't get much. Not what the server described and recommended to us. But we'llbe back to try some of the other options. Read more
Excellent service, fantastic food, in a gorgeously restored building steeped in local history. My wife had the fish and chips... while I enjoyed the seared swordfish. Preparation and presentation was lovely and our server very attentive. We will definitelybe back! If you?ve been considering stopping in, Timbers Roadhouse will not disappoint! Read more
First impression: We sat inside on a hot day. Instead of air conditioning they had the doors and windows open which didn't help... much. A few brave souls sat out back in a shaded section of their large outdoor area. I'm not sure how they survived. Secondimpression: Decent decor. Friendly staff. First impression of the menu: Ridiculously expensive. Second impression of the menu:Happy hour prices are reasonable. Food impressions: The happy hour nachos were messy but tasty, smothered in tasty chili andcheese. The chips didn't hold up though, and everything ended up pretty soggy. My sliders were pretty good, no complaints atall. Friends were satisfied with their chicken tacos, but the tomato bisque was received a "Meh" for being bland. Onion ringswere well seasoned and tasty, and the giant pretzel was well received. Overall, it was okay. We mostly stuck to the happy hourmenu and it wasn't bad. Nothing convinced us that their food was so incredible that we should come back and pay their regularprices. My companions thought I was being too generous with my three stars, but since I'm doing the reviewing I get to choosethe stars. Read more

Happy to see this historic building up and running again. Food and service is great. Interior is comfortable, not too cold like... most restaurants, spacious and well ventilated. Large group? Still spacious. Outside firepits, games, swings... Lots of optionsfor entertainment during happy hour or lunch office team bonding events or holiday parties. The filet minon was tender, juicy,and the rub tastes amazing, but needs to come way down on the salt (???? Perhaps they forgot to rinse it before adding the rub,but hey, it's a new place, so it will take a bit to get everything perfectly right. I'll still try it again next time.). Breadand butter, extra water on the table for easy refills, good appetizers, clean restrooms, wine by the glass... Really going tostruggle to find much wrong with this place. Give them a try. Bring your pops and the kids. Read more
Here are 2 colorful dish on Mother's Day special Menu! There is a huge fun place on the back patio for kids to play as well as... big party events outdoors. If you prefer a romantic or quiet diner, the " GREAT ROOM"is best. If you prefer watching sports andmingling with other guests, the bar area( Whiskey Joe room) is it. Recommended dish: appetizers: Artichoke Dip, crispy Brusselsprouts, Shrimp Fritters, Oxtail Mac and cheese Entree: Duck conflict, Beef ribs, Local Catch of the day (Halibut), ShirmpAlfredo Pasta.

This is the 1st time have been here in years. Fish and chips was really good, not greasy or not too much fry. Very light and... filling. My dad had the burger and he added everything to it. I can not beleive he tore through that thing like it was nothing.At first glance my question was, how you going to attack that thing?! Read more
