Reviews for The Creekside Restaurant & Bar in Santa Barbara, CA

Good food, nice and clean outdoor eating, relaxing atmosphere. We stopped in for dinner here because it was close to our hotel.... Service is quick and friendly. I had the nachos with tri-tip, delicious. My husband had the baby back ribs and fries. I had someof his fries and they were good, fried crispy and yummy. He said the ribs and bbq sauce were good but a tad bit on the dry side.When asked about the food he mentioned that, but he said he did like them and ate them all up. The friendly staff apologized andoffered him a gift card, my husband said that wasn’t necessary because he did enjoy the meal. They insisted on giving him thegift card, which shows they take pride in the food they serve. Drinks were good too. Would definitely come back again. Read more

Had my high school reunion here, twice. The service was very good. The area was thoughtfully set up, and there was plenty of... room to mingle and munch a little. The drinks are very strong. The food is really tasty! They had redecorated in between thereunion events, the new restaurant is pretty and large. Read more

Much larger on inside than might expect. Smoked TRI tip was excellent as we're the chmichurry fries. Corn was superb. Large... space, nice clean mate good for groups. Had Guinness Stout and chilled glass. Will return to get ribs and Brussels sprouts. Read more

Going in thought it was going to be more of a nice dining experience but found it to be more of a fast food place with good... barbecue style food. like a Carl's Jr. but better seemed to be a very young family oriented place a whole lot of little kids inone area and a blend of outdoor sports bar feel with T.V's going. everything is outdoors shade is where the premium seating isdesired so bring a hat if your stuck in the sun. Buss service is excellent Read more

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 smallNapa Apple Salad which was not that small and very good. Our friends ordered the BBQ Ribs with Grilled Corn on the Cob, BakedBeans, Coleslaw and a Dinner Roll. My husband and I ordered and shared the Grilled Salmon with Lemon Herb Sauce, Coleslaw, BakedBeans, French Fries and a Dinner Roll. All of our foods were well prepared, served hot and made our taste buds very happy. Theonly negative was the bartender. One of our friends ordered a margarita and it was small, full of ice and weak. He took it backto get it remade with smaller amount of ice and the bartender would not accommodate him. Said he'd been bartending for 23 yearsand he made a good margarita, definitely full of himself and isn't the customer always right? My friend had me taste it and Ihad to agree with him, it was not good???? The overall experience was good other than the drink issue.???????????????? Read more

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 nowa family friendly bar restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. It includes plenty of room for small parties. Nighttimeentertainment can be enjoyed here weekly. Staff was friendly and helpful. Drinks were delicious and I noticed quite a largearray of wines and imported and exported beers. As for the food I chose the creek burger in substitute of the beef for chickenwhich was delicious. My friends has the French dip and the hickory smoked wings all from a easy to read menu. As with all of mypast reviews I will only review a place that I would highly recommend this restaurant definitely fits in that category of afive-star recommendation from this traveler. Read more
