Timbers Roadhouse 10 Winchester Canyon Road, Goleta, CA 93117

"We celebrated our 30 year anniversary here and enjoyed it. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The food was top notch. Best fried zucchini ever. It is pricey, but worth it. Highly recommend it."

"Quieter restaurant with cozy atmosphere & great service. The building is constructed from repurposed beams from an oil Derrick. It has a lot of history & character. I would call this restaurant an old school regional classic. The menu offers a wide selection of surf, turf & vegetarian. Service is very prompt and professional. After visiting several area restaurants with loud drunk people and/or loud children, the more sedate atmosphere of the Timbers was a welcome reprieve. Rice pilaf has curry, which is good to know if you are like me and do not enjoy curry. Halibut was a bit dry. Vegetable lasagna is huge. I barely made a dent in mine. There are no noodles in this lasagna, which is layered with eggplant slices. The food was pretty good, but did not match the atmosphere or the prices."

"I'm so glad to have the Timbers back open! It is a large property and would be great to have parties in. The food is very good although some items are better than others. The oxtail mac and cheese is like nothing I've had before! It's definitely a must-try! My wife had the tri-tip sandwich and it was very very good. Not quite sure about the Bloody Mary I got, it had citrus pulp at the bottom and had a very citrusy taste, definitely not a classic Bloody Mary. Overall, I definitely will try this again and get the oxtail mac n cheese."

"This is built from the remaining timbers of the ellwood pier, which was one of the only places in America attacked by Japan during WWII by a Japanese submarine. The atmosphere transports you back to the days of western steak houses. They have some very old school dishes and some modern surprises. They have cocktails, steak, and Brussels sprouts to cheese beer pretzels. They had the fireplace going so there was a nice faint woody smoke smell, which enhanced the occasion."

"Our first time dining here and we were craving bbq. The tri-tip was made Santa Maria style which my husband enjoyed. The bbq baby back ribs was meaty and tasty. Our server was attentive and the staff was friendly. The restaurant is huge and we liked the ambience."
