The Blue Owl in Santa Barbara

Good options for vegans and vegetarians. I had a small fried rice bowl. The sauce provided is super spicy and there were no other sauce options when I asked. The sauce did come on the side which I highly recommend if you’re sensitive to spicy flavors. I went on a Sunday night around 6:30pm and had plenty of seating options inside and out. Had a lemon bar for dessert and it was perfectly sweet yet tart.

Overall a great place to grab a bite to eat. The staff could have welcomed newcomers a little more by guiding through the menu or making recommendations.

Driving from San Diego to Morro Bay. I was given the responsibility of choosing lunch.I chose The Blue Owl because it appeared to have fresh healthy food with options for veggie and meat eaters.The Blue Owl did not disappoint!!!I forgot to take pictures because I was so hungry. Driving through LA can do that to you.We ordered a Nam Tac burrito (beef) and a Sweetheart burrito (veggie).Both were excellent! I hope to visit again and try other sandwiches and salads.And parking was easy. Public parking structure. 75 minutes free then $3/hr.

Very chill place, great food. Really cool folks working behind the counter. And of course delicious coffee and pastries and the like. I definitely recommend it for lunch, Im being close to downtown, makes it easy for working folks and tourists and of course are out of town guests. Big pluses. They have a lot of carnivorous cuisine as well as vegetarian and vegan delights.

Food was really good.Service could be a little more attentive, I’ve asked for a non-spicy sauce but got the standard hot one, also the kitchen smoke smell was quite strong.We had beef fried rice bowl, Nam Toc Burrito, and Smoked Salmon salad, and, as I’ve already mentioned, the food was really good.

Ah mazing bowls and crunchy sticky rice and good meets with oh so much flavor. Star gives the blue owl two paws up. She loves the chicken and begged for more. Comedy night is a hoot on tuesdayeves. Dont bring you kids for that unless they are old enough for lots of f words tossed around and harsh jokes about sexual and mental health issues.

My favorite meal I had in SB! I got the NamToc burrito and I highly recommend it. Super filling and very flavorful — the steak and fried rice inside are delicious. Also very happy it came with a little side salad. :-) it came out super quick.Great interior too! Perfect place to rest and recharge from a long day of walking around.

What a lovely place to stop by for food and/or drinks. A saxophonist was playing great music live. The sake lemonade was yummy and refreshing in a hot day.

When visiting Santa Barbara, I love to go here. Last time I went they had a swanky singer and a great vibe. I appreciate all the owl art. Make sure you try the sake lemonade 👍

Excellent service. Amazing live music. 2 young kids working hard and delivering great customer service up front.
