Longboard's Grill

"We drove down from Santa Maria and visited the children's museum and then had lunch on the pier. The hostess was friendly and allowed us to sit anywhere. From then on we were basically ignored. We were seated for about 15 minutes a server had yet to come by. Another party that had came in 10 minutes after us were waited on before us. Actually before the server went to that other table she told us someone would be with us. When she finished taking their order she walked by and I stopped her and explained that we had sat down way before them. She apologized and a different server came by, apologized again, and took our order. Our food took forever. In fact, other people who ordered after us got their food long before us. No exaggeration... there was a couple at the table next to us who were seated 40 minutes after we got there AND they got their food long before we got ours. I ordered the Harbor burger, my wife got the fish tacos and my son got the kids chicken fingers. When our food finally showed up the burger was OK but not memorable, my wife said the fish tacos were bland and drowning in sauce and the chicken fingers were also bland. They tried to make it better by bringing out a huge plate of nachos that we did not want AFTER we finally started eating. The staff was friendly when they made contact, which was hardly ever while we were there. I'm not even going to discuss the pigeons inside or the lipstick stain on the pack of silverware they gave me - we are just never going back there."

"It was a decent experience. Lots of sea engles and pigeons. One pigeon landed on our table. I scared it away. Also, I bearly got any of their secret sauce on my harbor burger that was $21. Plus tax. I got allot of pickles and one slice of tomato and one big leaf of lettuce with seasoned soft crip fries and one Dil Pickle cut vertically sliced. I asked for their BBQ to add on my Harbor Burger and it was a better experience for me with their strawberry lemonade. Our waitress Brianna was gorgeous ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ᵇᵗʷ. Have her an extra tip for great services with a positive attitude and a beautiful smile."

"Longboard's Grill is located on the 2nd floor and the location has an elevator if needed. I mistakenly placed my first review for The Harbor. It looks like both restaurants are located in the same spot. I liked the "Sweet Potato Fries" and "Garlic Bread", but didn't like the "Fish & Chips"--too much batter and little seasoning. Fortunately, there are salt and pepper shaker on the tables. Service was really friendly. We had to sometimes call on them since we had a few requests, but once we did, they got back to us right away. Thanks to Flo and the night shift on 09/23/23!"

"Stopped by for lunch. Views are excellent! Food was also pretty good but overall experience was let down by inattentive and slow service, particularly as it was not too busy. We sat inside and I think the outer terrace seating area appeared to get more attention. The inner seating area could do with a renovation. Regarding the beers. they did have some local brews, I tried some Santa Barbara blonde ale and the Topa Topa IPA, the latter was pretty good. Would I stop by again? probably no given the service and that there are a lot of options in the area to eat etc."

"We flew down from Canada and heard the fish tacos in California were the best in the world so we HAD to get the seafood tacos. I got the fish tacos, my sister got the lobster tacos, and we also got the clam chowder and the oyster shots. I wasn’t too big of a fan of the oyster shot because I’m just not much of a franks red sauce fan in general. But the tacos and the clam chowder were AMAZING!! It’s very pricy however you aren’t just paying for the food, but also the views! You get a perfect view of the ocean and all of Santa Barbara from the deck. So wonderful, if I ever come back here I’d definitely choose to eat from this place again!"
