This place has really great breakfast food! The place looks like an old diner and the service is truly wonderful. Great for families!


Time Warp Wonder, 4/14/2009
Reviewer: Oswald from Santa Barbara, CA
Great place to go back in time, which I enjoy. And the paintings on the walls done by Trudi Mazzetti! Wow, wonderful to see. I have not been in the Farmer Boy Restaurant since the 60's and I can say it has not changed, except for the computer in the front. Food was very good and lots of it.


spanish omelet, 2/17/2009
Reviewer: nappyheads from Santa Barbara, CA
Farmer Boy has a great relaxed and unique atmosphere. We went there on a busy saturday morning and waited for about 5 minutes, which anywhere else we would have waited almost an hour, the staff was excellent and accommodating. Despite previous recommendations from friends to keep it simple and just get eggs with bacon or sausage and hash browns etc. We got the "spanish omelet" unless you like obviously canned watery tomato sauce and a chunk of avocado buried underneath a luke warm rubbery blanket of eggs then I wouldn't order that. My boyfriend...who would eat literally anything couldn't do it. Other than that everything was great! We just ordered the wrong thing.


I agree.

I was craving a Belgian waffle but for some reason, they actually charge $3 EXTRA for the fruit. So, I had the French toast; also a bit of a rip-off. Got out of there for $13 with tip for 2 pieces of French toast and an egg. I sat at the counter, everything I touched was sticky or had had food on it. The hostess [I think she was the owner or manager] didn't crack a smile or say a word to me when I paid at the register. I wouldn't recommend it.


some good deals, others not so much
Reviewer: chee from sb
the staff at FB are super nice and patient. they remember whether you've ordered regular or decaf coffee and are willing to split checks for you. I ordered the belgian waffle and was a little disappointed with the portion size. unlike the traditional round waffles, the ones here are rectangular and (in my opinion) seem a little smaller. FB also tops all of their pancakes and waffles with whipped cream, which makes the texture kind of soggy :( I thought that the berries came free with the waffles/pancakes, but they're an additional $3 charge. the best deals would be the egg-type breakfasts that come with lots of sides. had I known, I would have forgone the waffle and gotten a cheaper and more plentiful combo meal instead. otherwise, good coffee...nice and smooth and non-acidic. would definitely go again, but would order something different.


The last GREAT diner in Santa Barbara
Reviewer: Mike from Santa Barbara
I just wish they were open 24 hours. This is my kind of place. Always friendly service, always good, consistent food at a fair price. And you're always a winner in the "raffle".
