Ask the Community - Chad's
Do they have bottomless mimosas?
They are known for their flight of mimosas. I do not think they do bottomless ones.
Do they deliver or have take out options?
We do take out, but no delivery. We are open from 7:00 am to 2:30 pm. Thanks for thinking of Chads. Chad owner
Do you serve gluten-free pancakes French toast or waffles or gluten-free bread/toast?
Yes, in fact our server felt the gluten free pancakes were better than the regular pancakes!
When did Sambo's change it's name to Chad's?
My grandfather Sam Battistone and his partner Newell Bonnet open Sambos in 1957. My wife and I purchased the business in 1994 and wanted to keep it as the first and last Sambos. But with current political environment it was time to change the…
Do you allow dogs on the patio?
When I visited, I saw multiple groups that had dogs. They have a pretty large outdoor seating area where dogs can join the party.
Are you open at 7 or really 7:30? When we went there at 7 we could not even get seated by 7:35. The 2 hostesses said the servers were not ready yet?
We open at 7:00. We had some issue with a cook not showing up on time and we are currently having a labor shortage. We are doing our best to keep open at our scheduled hours but sometime we make mistakes. I apologize that our team was not ready…
Does anyone know the recipe for Sambo's hash browns? I've spent years tying to reproduce them without success. Sure wish they'd re-open here.
I am unsure what recipes we used in the past, but we use shredded fresh potatoes and cook them on about med heat on the grill (you could use a pan). We then put butter on the top and a little salt and pepper. Hope to see you in Santa Barbara…
