    Chipotle Avocado Chicken Sandwich
    Claudia C.

    Great spot for lunch with parking available. The menu offers local ingredients and seasonal options to enjoy. I had the chicken sandwich and my friend ordered their burger with some customization. They were very kind and accommodating.

    AR Burger with French Fries (ordered to go, aioli on the side)
    Shelby S.

    I've been excited to try this spot and finally ordered food for takeout recently after a late work day. Their menu isn't huge but I can appreciate that because it shows they are preparing their foods well and know what they're doing versus trying to master a huge selection. The AR Burger is so good. We opted for French fries, but they aren't what we were expecting- they're cubed and fried pieces of potato. I needed a fork to eat them. The poke nachos are incredible. Huge fan. Love the pairing of the wonton chips. So good. We will definitely be back. It was super easy to place an order ahead for pick up and their prices are super comparable to other spots in the area for dinner.

    Flatiron steak

    Dynamite food. Small but cozy place. Flatiron steak w chimichurri and roasted broccoli. Substituted roasted sweet potato cubes for mashed potatoes, no problem. Perfectly grilled tender meat. Tritip sandwich also very tender. Highly recommend if near Buellton. Great service.

    I'm not sure what magic they're working in Buellton, but the AR Restaurant and Catering off Highway 246 is an absolute gem. Our first visit we indulged in their exquisite croquettes and divine poke nachos. The croquettes were a crispy, golden delight, but it was the poke nachos that truly stole the show. Imagine delicate wonton chips, perfectly crispy and light, topped with fresh, succulent poke. The whole dish was drizzled with a creamy aioli dressing that was an explosion of flavors, reminiscent of the finest poke bowl dressing. Every bite was a taste sensation, a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that left us utterly enchanted. We also had the salmon tacos which were bursting with flavor and were cooked to perfection. Our second visit in person we were able to meet Alex himself and it was a pleasure. This visit we ordered the chipotle wings, garlic shrimp, lentil soup and of course the poke nachos. It was all so delicious. We will be coming back again and again.

    Omg chocolate cake and ice cream

    Food and service spectacular. The chicken wings are to die for. Everything here was delicious and the people were warm and friendly. Super epic!

    Nothing left to take home!

    Empty plates! We love this gem of a restaurant and took some friends for dinner. The menu is creative, fresh, delicious, and doesn't disappoint!

    BEST FOOD TO EAT!!! LOVE THE AREA AND RESTAURANT.  NEXT TIME YOU ARE IN THE AREA GO TO THIS RESTAURANT!!!!

    Wildly great food. I wanted to lick my plate. The caprese salad was huge and so delicious…read more Spaghetti and meatballs - great sauce, tasty meatballs and again a nice portion. My wife and I split them both and had room for a cannoli that was the best I've ever had before! The walk up is weird. It's in the back of a liquor store but keep walking to the back. There's a cute little dining room. Ask for a Greg and Luis. They are the balm.

    My family and I stopped at your restaurant on our way home to Lompoc because the menu and website…read morephotos looked great. We ordered the chicken picatta and sole picatta to-go, tipped despite not dining in, and drove 20 miles home. When we opened the boxes, both orders were incorrect. According to the board menu, the sole picatta comes with arugula, beets, pistachios, and potatoes (no capers), and the chicken picatta comes with capers, spinach, and potatoes. Instead, both dishes came with pasta and none of the listed sides. More concerning, the sole had capers--even though we specifically asked when ordering because my partner is allergic and were told it does not include them. Meanwhile, the chicken picatta, which should have had capers, had none. Portions were also quite small for the $22 price point. We tried calling the restaurant eight times with no answer. After contacting the liquor store it's located inside, we were told to call back in five minutes. When we did, the call wouldn't even go through. Since we couldn't reach anyone, we drove the 20 miles back to Buellton to request a refund. When I showed the chef the incorrect dishes, he insisted the picatta dishes come with pasta and produced a small, crumpled paper menu from under the counter showing that version. We were never given this menu and ordered solely from the board displayed above. There was no apology and no offer to remake the meals, only a refund when I requested it. The employee who originally helped us acknowledged they "haven't gotten around" to updating the board menu. Other reviews mention similar issues with discrepancies between the board and the paper menu, which suggests this is an ongoing problem. Thankfully, we received a refund and our tip back, but we drove a total of 60 miles and ended up without dinner, eventually eating at Blaze Pizza at 9:45pm after ordering from you at 6:15pm. Despite this disappointing experience, we would be willing to give your restaurant another try if complimentary meal vouchers could be offered. We understand that busy periods can lead to mistakes, but the lack of accountability and apology was the most frustrating part. Acknowledging errors and making things right builds trust. Photos of what was advertised versus what we received are attached. We hope for a better experience in the future; otherwise, we unfortunately will not return.

    In Solvang this past weekend for the Danish Days Festival. At one point, needed food. Needed lunch…read more And my friend and I ended up at Panino. We wanted something fast and light. For the festival, streets were shut down but you'll typically find parking on the street, or in the nearby lots. Nice thing is that they're free too. At least the ones I've parked at. Panino isn't a full service restaurant. Order at the counter and wait for your order to be brought to your table, or for your name to be called if it's to go. Your order includes your drinks up front so if you want something else, get back in line and order again. Inside the shop, there's seating for about five/six people. Most were sitting outside. Your order is brought to you outside too if you're wondering. I ordered me a Half/Half. Half sandwich (Italian) and a half salad (Caprese) See pics. I enjoyed the salad. I was craving it so it hit the spot. The mozzarella cheese and fresh greens. The sandwich, I liked, but didn't love. It wasn't about the ingredients (even the green peppers which I've never seen on an Italian nor leaves of lettuce as opposed to them being shredded). If the dressing were more tangy, I wouldn't say I'd love it but at least crush on it a little so for me, Panino's version was ok. I wouldn't order it again knowing what I know but if someone shared a half with me, I wouldn't turn it down. Anyway, there's a long list of sandwiches on the menu. I'd definitely try other items on the list as well as checking out their other locations.

    Stopped by Peasant's Deli and ordered the Tuna Sando and the Kobe Sando…read more The Tuna Sando immediately jumped into my top three tuna sandwiches I've had. It was loaded with flavor from the Conservas Ortiz white tuna, boquerones, piquillo peppers, egg, arugula, and tonnato sauce. Honestly, I took one bite and completely forgot to take a proper picture. That's usually a good sign. We also tried the Kobe Sando, which was very tasty as well. The bread was a little firmer than I personally prefer, but it still worked well with the sandwich and didn't take away from the overall experience. We sat outside along the side of the restaurant and really enjoyed the seating area. Inside, the deli is just as interesting. They have displays of aged meats and a walk-in room arcade that feels like a hidden gem. It's a unique touch that adds a lot of character to the space. What really stood out was the staff. Everyone we interacted with was genuinely friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. Great food, great atmosphere, and great hospitality. Can't wait to come back and work my way through more of the menu.

    After a day of wine tasting, you're absolutely going to want a sandwich from Panino. Grab it to go…read morewith chips and a drink, or enjoy it on their outdoor patio -- either way, it'll satisfy your hunger. They have a huge selection of sandwiches, and the bread is great. You really can't go wrong here; there's something for everyone. A perfect mid‑day stop while exploring Los Olivos.

    Come for the sandwiches, stay for the cheeses, and don't leave without the Monkey in the Middle!!…read more What a great little sandwich stop in Los Olivos. We popped in today and were impressed by the huge selection of sandwich options. You can choose from several breads including focaccia, sourdough, baguette, or whole wheat, and then build from a really interesting variety of meats, cheeses, and vegetarian toppings. The cheese selection alone was worth the visit. They offer unique choices like Stilton, horseradish cheddar, and several English cheeses (plus plenty of brie options that work beautifully on their sandwiches). It's not your typical deli lineup, which makes the menu fun to explore. We ordered the half sandwich and half salad combo, which was the perfect portion for lunch. You can also order full sandwiches or full salads, and they offer chips on the side if you want a little crunch with your meal. For dessert we split an ice cream sandwich called "Monkey in the Middle." It had banana ice cream between two soft cinnamon cookies with chocolate hazelnut spread. We shared it four ways and it was the perfect little sweet ending. They also have a nice selection of canned beverages, and there's a water station out front if you just want something simple. Best of all, sitting outside in Los Olivos is such a treat. Great food, lots of creative options, and a relaxed wine-country atmosphere. We'll definitely stop again next time we're in town.
