Awesome food and fun vibes, 10/25/2009
Reviewer: Rita
from Santa Barbara, CA
Me and my husband took our kids for a quick bite. I am a vegetarian and despite it being a hot dog joint, there are 'veggie versions' of everything! I love promoting a good place to get veggie food! I had my choice of sliders, hot dogs, sweet potato fries, salads and more. The food was great, the wine was a generous pour and the service was friendly. It is under new ownership - new owner and his wife were there. My husband had the cheesesteak, which he highly recommends. Very kid friendly, sports on flatscreens, video games and a digital jukebox. Overall a great way to have fun on State street without getting a sitter!

Definitely will return!!!, 10/23/2009
Reviewer: Sandra in Santa Barbara
from Santa Barbara, CA
New owners at LBF...the feel is fantastic. My friends and I were warmly greeted by the staff and the service was attentive. The atmosphere is definitely cool and the food...AWESOME!! I had an avocado salad which tasted so fresh and the sliders are to die for. Very happy place to visit. Keep up the great work!!

OK food, strange vibe (still), 10/7/2009
Reviewer: ChrisC
from Santa Barbara, CA
We spent $20 for seven sliders, an order of sweet potato fries and a Coke. Slow because the cook was also bartending since the cashier was too young to serve alcohol. Sliders were served in a bowl - rolls still attached to each other, though with three different fillings (fish, beef, pork). Despite the odd and somewhat messy presentation, tasty enough. The fries were also fine. There were several TVs showing baseball, and a decor that can be called "eclectic jumble." Perhaps this is a hang-out for regulars as we were acknowledged neither upon arriving nor leaving. We'd hoped for an improvement over Doghouse days, but no such luck.

New owner?, 9/29/2009
Reviewer: Momes
from Santa Barbara, CA
I really like the burger combo meal and can honestly say that I haven't had a better burger in SB. It even trumps the Boathouse, which I thought was a pretty solid burger. They have flatscreen TVs for watching the games...it's just a good chill spot. I think there is a new owner, but I forgot the name. It's a lot cleaner and the food was much improved. Seriously, try the burger.

changed for the worse, 7/25/2009
Reviewer: Russ
from Santa Barbara, CA
I used to frequent this place when it was the Doghouse on Milpas. Loved it, great dogs for a fair price and really friendly, generous service. Went in today to the State Street location. Even though it was empty (on a Saturday afternoon) except for a couple other people who were just drinking beers, the two very unfriendly guys working there seemed like they didn't even see me, they were talking and messing around, watching TV. Finally they found it in their hearts to ask me what I wanted. A regular dog Cali style and a beer. The total came to more than $12, plus the $1 tip and more than $13. For a hot dog and a beer. They delivered the order without saying anything, still very unfriendly and seemingly bored and wanting very badly to be anywhere but there. The dog was good but not great. Was it worth it? Maybe it if had been $8 it would have been worth it. But not $12. Combine that with the almost hostile service, and you can betcha I won't be back.

Best in SB, 5/19/2009
Reviewer: Dave
from Santa Barbara, CA
I love this place and have been going since it was the original "DogHouse". Moving to State St. they have raised the prices and changed the menus around which I understand but the quality of food is still there. I love the hot dogs, the corn pups are un real, the french fries with the pulled pork and coleslaw on them are a great combination and may be the best thing on the menu.

Ok hot dog, 4/24/2009
Reviewer: Nicole Q.
from Santa Barbara, CA
My friend got a plain ol' hot dog and it was ok. However, I think we need to get a more dressed up dog to make a real evaluation of this place.

Reviewer: C.

Well a friendly man at the bar made my stay oh so enjoyable. I shall be back just in case that man is there again. That may seem a little silly........ But odds are he is someone you may find at the rincon classic. See you there handsome!

Hit and miss...., 12/15/2008
Reviewer: Becky
from Santa Barbara, CA
Well, normally I like LBF, and their sweet potato fries are awesome! But last time I went, I ordered a salad that was awful! I asked them to hold the onions, and got my salad chock full of 'em. Also, they left out several ingredients in my salad, and told me they were out of Chicken and almonds. So basically, it was a bowl of lettuce and some dressing for $12. So not worth it. Also, the person making my salad seemed unapologetic about the lack of ingredients, and did not modify the salad or refund me my money. I haven't been back since.

satisfying, 12/13/2008
Reviewer: floe
from Santa Barbara, CA
My friends and I always seem to wander over to Lettuce b. Frank after a wild night downtown to satisfy those late night drunk cravings...especially the amazing sliders. The food is always really tasty, even at 2am. Also, its nice how accommodating they are with their late night hours.

My name is Nate Childress, and I am one of the owners of Lettuce B. Frank. We are not closed for business at all. We recently switched to winter hours and this may have caused some confusion.

Didn't honor my Axxess card and not what the menu reads
Reviewer: Annie
from Santa Barbara, CA
My partner and I went here yesterday, having found their ad in my discount card deal book and having never tried the place before. I should have left as soon as they told me they wouldn't honor their 2 for 1 deal. As the man who I assume was the owner/manager told me, the discount card had lost them money by costing them over $5000 dollars. I remained cordial, even though I thought this was unprofessional of him to share this with me. Anyway, I was offered 10% off and figured I might as well give them a shot. BIG mistake. I ordered the avocado salad, which was decent but not anything special and a lot smaller for what I can get elsewhere in SB for $9. My partner ordered fish and chips, which were said to be hand-dipped in homemade batter to order, and were also $9. This ended up being two lukewarm, very clearly store-bought, frozen fish sticks on a pile of french fries (also lukewarm and the kind you buy cooked and heat up in the oven). We also asked for two glasses of water and while my partner's looked fine neither of us touched the water because mine had an obvious yellow tinge. Gross.

Amazing Wings
Reviewer: Ella
from Santa Barbara, CA
My boyfriend and I make sure to go to Lettuce B. Frank at least once a week...their Buffalo Wings are the best in town, hands down. Perfect amount of spice, crispiness, meatiness...delicious. They also have great beer specials and food specials throughout the week (Friday night is dollar drafts!). Highly recommended.

spontaneous trip, good food and beer
Reviewer: Alexandra Smith
from Palmdale,Ca
My boyfriend and i decided to spend the day in santa barbara and saw lbf and thought what the hey lets try it. Oh wow i ordered lemon chicken sandwich and mike had the nj pepper steak, it was deeeelicious!! We started talking to the guy behind the counter, we told him that we were thinking of spending the nite in s.b he suggested some economical hotels around the corner from state street. We took his advice and came back the next day to order a beer. He really made our experience at lettuce b. frank really enjoyable. Thanks for ur service and the food, like i said, was freaking worth the money...

Written Menu
Reviewer: Mark
from Sunnyvale, CA
After my wife and I ordered and sat, we started to read the menu billboard a little more closely. It may seem small, but there were SO MANY spelling errors it was ridiculous. It is really unprofessional. However, the service was great. The food was only OK, but that is to be expected from a "hot dog joint". The sweet-potato fries were cooked to perfection. The fish and pork sliders were fine, but the beef left something to be desired.

Sliders - yum yum yum!!!!
Reviewer: Aimee
from Los Angeles, CA
On a recent visit to Santa Barbara, my hubby, Brother in law & I came across Lettuce B. Frank. We decided to head in since we knew the answer to the trivia question posted outside, taunting us to come in and redeem our knowledge of US Ballparks, redeemable for a free beer. Free Beer!!!! OK - you had us at free beer. Well, while enjoying the delight that is Firestone Ale, we ordered some sliders. Sliders! All our dreams come true in just a few bites. 3 of us and 3 sliders per plate. Perfect! So perfect we ordered more beer and more sliders. It has been a week and we are still talking about those lovely little sliders. We had the cheeseburger version but I was impressed that we could have veggie, fish or pulled pork sliders. That is enough to get me back to Santa Barbara for more, unless, Lettuce B. Frank, you decide to come to LA. We would welcome you anytime!

Frank review of Lettuce B Frank
Reviewer: NC
from Santa Barbara
The fact that the place was completely empty at lunch time should've been our first clue to go somewhere else. The two guys at the counter were very nice and our waiter was very attentive. The two of them prepared our meal at the counter - without gloves or washing their hands. The fries were cold, soggy and had a strange fishy taste - no doubt fried in the same oil as the fish for the fish & chips entree. I asked for a small side of ranch dressing to help the taste of the fries, and it had some kind of lumps in it... curdled, maybe?? The hot dogs were small, dried out and tasted old. Even the iced tea had an odd flavor. Lunch of two hot dogs and french fries was $20!! Stopped at Wetzel's on the way back cuz we were starving. Definitely won't be back. You'll find me at Costco, happily munching a $2.50 hot dog and soda combo.

excellent sweet potato fries, bomb sliders
Reviewer: amy baughman
from santa barbara, ca
dropped in here randomly and was delighted with everything. sweet potatoe fries are light and crispy. beef sliders with crispy buns, pork sliders with homemade sauce were also delicious. went back another time and had mac and cheese. it's a casual neighborhood bar with informal service. you get what you pay for, so if you'll be disappointed if you want sit down tale service - but if you just want a beer and grub it's fantastic.

WAS NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL~
Reviewer: SBSuz
from Santa Barbara
I've had MUCH better hotdogs from street vendors in West Hollywood for $2.50 than this place. I thought this was supposed to be "East Coast Style"....I think even Weinersnitzel (sp?) would be better. The hotdogs are little and limp (not a good thing - ha ha!) They smother everything in too much sauce. I tried you when you were on Milpas Street...never went back. Even Costco's hotdogs are better...and less expensive.

I've Had Better..
Reviewer: Renee
from Santa Barbara, CA
I was really pumped to try this place, as sometimes I just get in the mood for a good hot dog. A pretty good selection of toppings. I can't remember the name of what I had, but it was a bef dog with chili, cheese, bacon, tomatoes and sweet relish. You can keep the relish, that stuff was gross and it was borderline neon green which is not appetizing in the least. Although I had just watched them fry up our dogs, I bit into mine and to find that it was literally luke warm.. what in the??? But I was with other people and it had already taken 15 mins for our food, so I kept eating. It was alright, but I began to notice that the chili has a strange taste.. hmmm. I'd say this place is lacking in the quality control area when the manager is not around.
