    Country Fried Steak & Eggs

    Always great service. Bomb food. Country fried steak, eggs over easy is my go to. Or any of their omelettes

    As you can see, I've been eating my omelette
    Nancy T.

    I don't understand where my review went. We have been going to this café for a number of years. So I'll start all over. I love their coffee, its Peet's and that's what I have at home. My husband and I both had chili Verde omelettes and we ate all of the omelette. I had fruit and we split it and he had hashbrowns and we split that. The hashbrowns were just OK. He got an English muffin and I got a blueberry muffin and we took them home. The staff is extremely friendly, no matter who you have.

    This was my first time visiting Cody's Cafe. We were greeted politely and seated quickly, and a very kind gentleman brought us coffee, which started things off on a good start. Unfortunately, that's where the positive experience ended. I ordered a burrito, but when it arrived, it was so soggy at the bottom that I couldn't even hold it--it was falling apart in my hands. I tried cutting it, but the tortilla was so wet that it just kept disintegrating, making a complete mess. I let the waitress know about the issue, but she didn't seem to care at all. Her only response was, "It's because of the salsa," and then she just walked away. No apology, no offer to fix it--nothing. I've honestly never had a burrito that soggy before. Definitely not the experience I was hoping for, and I don't think I'll be coming back.

    SUCH A FLOP !!! Do not even consider coming here !! Super bad service, and disgusting food. We had to go Inside and ask for our order to be taken. The waitress didn't even ask if we wanted drinks. And when she did take our order she was so rude about it. There was a piece of lettuce in the creamer we got. My potatoes were RAW and flavorless. Praying I don't get food poisoning from the chorizo.

    Cobb Salad

    I hadn't been to Cody's in a minute (years), but it was close and I was hungry. I ordered the Cobb Salad to go with no tomatoes. The girl on the phone was very nice and the employees in-person were friendly. I was asked which dressing I would like and chose balsamic. When I opened the box at home, I noticed most of the bacon was chewy/fatty pieces. The chicken was ok (a bit chewy) and the lettuce as well. This salad was not worth $16+ in my opinion, but it did fill me up and good to know for the future. I also didn't receive any utensils or napkin (realized when I got home) and my tip in the tip jar was not acknowledged.

    Fish & Chips w/ Cole Slaw, Home-Made Pot Roast ⋅ Santa Barbara, California
    Justin L.

    Classic comfort food in a comfortable, homey atmosphere. Alright for families and large groups. You can find this cafe at the Turnpike Shopping Center along Hollister Avenue. Parking is easy and breezy. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating throughout, I never had to wait long for a table. Their patio is pet-friendly. They serve all your favorite breakfast and lunch dishes: french toast, omelettes, waffles, pancakes, benedicts, scrambles, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and so much more. Prices are reasonable for the portions served. Some of the things I've ordered before: Short Stack: Two very large pancakes. It seems like someone left them on the griddle for a little too long, the top was a bit charred and it had a burnt taste to it. Wasn't too fluffy. The accompanying scrambled eggs and patty sausage were just ok. Fish and Chips: Impressively fried and flakey fish, with a nice golden color. Fries were also crispy. Served with a side of coleslaw. Homemade Pot Roast: Tender meat cooked in red wine. Decent. They used to be open during the evenings in the past, but dining after 5:00 PM is now limited to private parties and events. A bit of a bummer since their dinner menu is great. But brunch is good enough!

    My date and I really enjoyed the Tomahawk dinner special. The chef did a fine job combining all the…read moreingredients to create such a tasty steak, and I especially appreciated that it was already sliced for us. My date, a steak professional and strict carnivore, rated it "good." I, on the other hand, thought it was super delicious! The booth seating was comfortable, too. Service was great overall--except that we were given someone else's tab. Fortunately, the total was about the same as what our steak dinner would have cost, so I didn't realize there was a mistake until I got home. That's when things got a little frustrating. I tried calling the restaurant several times to correct the error, but no one ever picked up. By late morning the next day, I finally got through, and a woman told me the manager would call me at noon to help sort things out. Unfortunately, noon came and went, and I never heard from him. I'm curious whether my message actually got through and whether the manager will eventually call me. Fortunately, I'm local, so I'll stop by the restaurant on my evening walk and take care of it in person. Overall, I enjoyed the dinner and would happily go back--but if you need to reach them, don't rely on the phone!

We stayed here for a weekend so we had breakfast / brunch here in the mornings. This restaurant is very cozy and comfy. Except a bit of toddler crying here and now since this is a family restaurant especially in the mornings. For breakfast we have tried local fruit plate, breakfast plate and California style shakshuka. Also sides of fruits and smoked salmon. The food was delicious in healthy portions. The service was fantastic and very welcoming! We were very impressed with this hotel restaurant and will come back whenever we are in town!

You order and pay at the counter first, then they seat you and bring everything out. I actually kind of liked being able to sit down and relax without immediately being handed another menu It's a really cute spot with nice outdoor seating, friendly staff, and dogs are welcome. My sister's dog enjoyed brunch from the comfort of his stroller My husband got his usual cold brew and I got a spring water. We shared the avocado toast with egg and bacon added, plus a side of potatoes. The avocado smash was good and the egg was cooked perfectly, but the bread was a little dense for me. Nuzz really enjoyed the bacon. The POTATOES though!! So good. Thinly sliced, thicker than a potato chip, perfectly salted and super crispy. The side portion was generous too. Our total was about $53 for the avocado toast with add-ons, potatoes, cold brew, water and tip. I'm glad we shared because that felt pretty steep for one breakfast! And for my IBS friends Two separate, private all-gender bathrooms with actual doors. No stalls. We love to see it. Overall, cute place, good food and a different brunch experience. Nothing was bad at all, but for the price, I probably wouldn't rush back.

The steak was perfectly cooked, the Eggs Benedict was rich and satisfying, and the pastries were wonderful too. And I have to mention our server -- friendly, attentive, and seriously reminded me of a young Owen Wilson! The blonde curls and that smile definitely made us do a double take. Great food, beautiful atmosphere, wonderful service -- and an unexpected little Hollywood moment. Definitely a memorable Santa Barbara lunch!

    SCORE 0 HEALTH HAZARD 10…read more This is our third time we've had issues with the staff. Today is our last time going here. There was only one person in line and 4 staff members behind the counter standing around talking to each other. Nobody greeted us or asked for our bakery order. When I said excuse me to a dirty blond girl she replied "WHAT!" and continued to joke with a co worker. When the cashier finished with their customer they walked away and even though they saw we were waiting to be helped. I looked around and saw nobody helping seated customers or us at the bakery counter. Finally, the dirty blonde ask what we need and my response was "WHAT" ?! At this point we should have left and gone to Lilac Patisserie however we proceeded to give her our order. I told another customer behind us that rudeness seems to be the norm, and she agreed. I paid for our bakery items and asked an older woman scrolling on her phone if we could have a bag for all of our boxed treats. She grabbed a handful of bags and threw them at me from across the counter. We were appalled and left. We found a place to sit on State street to eat our treats and my daughter said she didn't want her Meringue because the dirty blonde girl used the back of her ungloved hand to repeatedly wipe her nose. We threw all $50 worth of baked goods in the trash. Yes, I should have gone back and complained I'm had everything refunded but it was Mother's Day and we didn't want anything more to do with this establishment. It was also an epiphany that they don't treat everyone this way. It could be you next time. Please go somewhere else. We will never go to anywhere but Lilac Patisserie which is to the left as you exit Andersons, past the stop light. You will definitely get your money's worth and the staff is friendly, professional, and greet you immediately as you reach the counter.

Early Saturday morning, a group of us did beach yoga right in front of the restaurant for a bachelorette party. Later that evening, the bride realized she had lost her engagement ring in the sand. We came back, searched everywhere with no luck, and eventually asked the restaurant if anyone had seen it. The general manager immediately stopped what she was doing, gathered her employees, and actually came out to help us search the sand. Thankfully, a patron had found the ring and turned it in to the restaurant, so WE GOT IT BACK!! I was so excited I didn't even catch the manager's name--I just hugged her! All the waiters and waitresses started clapping and celebrating with us. It was such a sweet moment. The integrity of everyone here deserves recognition. Someone easily could have pocketed an engagement ring, but instead they made sure it got back to its owner and genuinely cared about helping us find it. And while I was searching, I have to say...the food and drinks coming out looked delicious! After this experience, I would absolutely come back to actually eat here. Truly wonderful people working at this restaurant.
