Santa Barbara Chicken Ranch

"We stopped by while driving up the coast. We got the 8 piece chicken meal which came with beans, rice, salsa, and tortillas. There was a bar with more salsas, jalapeños, pickled onions, and salsa. It was absolutely delicious."

"This is a place that I forget about sometimes, but then when I have it, I ask myself why don't I come here more often? The food has the perfect balance between great taste and value. I would definitely get the combo burrito. It's the best thing on the menu. You can also get a piece meal, which is really good, especially if you're trying to eat healthy, but the burrito is the best way to go."

"Run (don't walk), because the chicken IS all that! And...go straight to the chicken, don't need anything else. Seriously...this restaurant has been recommended to me more than once, I'm so glad we came"

"I love Tri-tip, but here the chicken is so good that it is a cointoss on which I would choose! Which is why I usually get the combo option. We recently discovered the burrito bowl! We go to the salsa bar and get Pico de Gallo, Original Salsa, Marinated Onions, and Limes...and add it all to the bowl. It is a very large meal for 1 person, but we are both full if we share it! Our friend ate the whole thing by himself and was full 4 hours later! Images below is what it looked like when we split it onto 2 plates. We also had Guacamole and added it to the plates. I definitely recommend their Guacamole! Also the burrito bowl comes with homemade tortilla chips! So good! Don't forget the salsa/ guacamole to dip in!"

"We enjoyed the food at Chicken Ranch. We got a half chicken and some tri-tip as well, with beans and rice. Especially if you’re just getting take out this is great. The reason for my 3 stars is that it’s a very meat heavy menu, and the servers could be replaced by an automatic machine. There no warmth, friendliness or feedback from the servers which is a bit sad for our first time. All dishes are heavily salted."
