    Hot chicken in Santa Barbara!!! Highly recommend this spot. It's in the back of the mill behind Casa Agria Ales. First of all, you have to check out Casa Agria for some of the best beers in the area. It shares a patio with Drippin Chicken. Fun outdoor patio that Modern Times Beer put into place before they disappeared. Anyway back to the chicken: I had read that medium was underwhelming, so I went with the hot flavor and it was great. Nice crispy outside, flavorful moist inside. And some of the best fries I've had! Definitely order the sliders and fries. I hope this place stays in business since the food and location are excellent. Check it out!!

    Not bad overall the chicken was fresh and new I got chicken and waffles and my friend got a burger with fries over all I think you some come check it out. Lots of seating and the servers are super nice. We were the first ones there so it was nice and quiet when they opened.

    Loved that fact that it was open late & i that i was able to doordash my order. I ordered 2 chicken sandwich combos & selected one to have seasoned fries and the chicken medium heat. They messed up my order and i received a waffle chicken sandwich. I'm glad that happened! The waffle sandwich was my favorite!! The sweet and the heat from the chicken tasted amazing!

    Picked up two vegetarian chicken sandwiches, with fries, cheese curds and slaw. Staff was nice and great at answering our questions. We ordered our sandwiches medium, but I think we could have done the next spice level up. Medium was what I'd call a slow burn, you felt the heat more at the end. Cheese curds were great. And everything held up on the 15 minute walk before we ate it. Decently priced, I do wish the "chicken patty" had been a bit more substantial but I was satisfied oversell. Drippin Chicken is a nice addition to downtown.

    One  chicken sandwich scarfed down and second one will be eaten tomorrow.

    Best fries in town and chicken sandwiches! They're definitely drippin not trippin. Ambiance is chill and cool vibes.

    Food was prepared fresh to order and was tasty. I can see how people think these guys are rude as they are not very good with customer service or communication. Almost force you to get the combos by the pricing. I did the two sandwiches and fries for $20 or if you get one sandwich and fries it's $17 so for the extra few dollars I got the combo. Took home one sandwich and half the fries. Food was well seasoned. I got one medium and one hot. They do have some kick and the fries were tasty

    Overall, I had an ok experience. The employees were nice. The location is great. My only issue was the food. To start, this was not Nashville fried chicken. There seemed to be little to no breading on the chicken, so it was lacking the crunch I was expecting. But, the chicken was cooked well and was juicy inside. The fries were crispy and fresh. However, they were seasoned with the same seasoning as the chicken, which I was not a fan of. It was EXTREMELY sweet. I couldn't even finish a whole tender. The fried pickles were super crunchy and great with the ranch, but for a $6 side I was disappointed with how little I received. These two meals + the side of fried pickles + 2 extra sauces came to a total of $51 and change. I'd be fine paying this price if the food was delicious, but it unfortunately wasn't. I see a lot of potential in this place and hope they adjust their seasoning recipe.

    Authentic Nashville Hot Chicken should be extra crispy and dipped into a spicy oil with cayenne pepper, neither of which this place is doing. Also how are 3 tenders with fries the same price as 2 tenders on Texas toast? I wanted to like this place but this is far from an authentic Nashville hot chicken experience. Fries were decent, and the gochujang wings weren't bad.

    Mac and cheese. 2 chicken sandwiches and fries.

    Wow! Excellent food, the best smash burger I've ever had…read more Nice friendly service and great place.

    My friends and I were visiting Santa Barbara for a few days and were trying to grab a quick…read morebreakfast/lunch before a flight. Luckily, Bruxie was open pretty early, so we stopped by. I ordered The Original Fried Chicken and Waffle sandwich since the waiter had recommended that was one of their most popular items and made it into a combo (side of tater tots and a soda). My friends ordered the fried chicken salad and the brioche breakfast sandwich. I thought the restaurant concept was cool and uniquely centered around anything fried chicken/waffles and thought it was fun the way the waffle sandwich was presented like a taco. That being said, I initially tried to eat it like a taco but everything quickly fell apart as the waffle wasn't connected at the bottom, so resorted to just eating it like a classic chicken and waffles dish with a fork and knife. I liked the coleslaw, the crispy/lightness of the waffle, and although the food initially looked like it'd be really heavy it surprisingly wasn't and I finished the sandwich pretty quickly. I think my main issue is that there could've been more flavor/moisture to the sandwich, particularly the chicken itself. I did really like the tater tots - they were perfectly crispy, lightly seasoned, and addicting, so it was the highlight of the meal. I also tried my sister's brioche breakfast sandwich and felt that there was nothing really special to it and found it to be lacking a bit in flavor / dry. Overall, I thought the sandwich/fried chicken could've been more juicy and flavorful e.g., by adding some sauce/marinade to the sandwiches/chicken and avoiding overcooking/frying the chicken.

    My friends and I were in Santa Barbara for vacation, and after hitting a few of the local…read morebreweries, we were craving some real-deal pizza. Santa Barbara is famous for its "fancy" artisan pies, but we were honestly dying for that classic, old-school pizza parlor experience. We hit the nail on the head with Rusty's. ​The Atmosphere ​The second we walked in, I knew we found the right spot. It's a total family-friendly environment with a vibe that reminded me of the Shakey's back home. They have tons of arcade games for the kids (and kids at heart) and plenty of seating, so you don't feel cramped. ​The Spread ​The Pizza: We ordered a large, and it was fantastic. Exactly that traditional parlor style we were looking for. ​The Wings: We went with the Buffalo wings--they were cooked perfectly and hit the spot. ​The Salad Bar: I was impressed! It had a huge selection, and everything was fresh and crisp. ​The Drinks: We grabbed a few local beers to round out the meal, and they were excellent. ​The Verdict ​Overall, we had a great experience. I'm really glad we skipped the upscale, fancy spots for this instead. If you want a casual, nostalgic place with great food and plenty of space, this is it. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town!

I placed an online order for a sandwich through your website, specifying that I wanted avocado on it, and eagerly went to pick it up. Upon arrival, I explicitly asked Ana, the store worker, multiple times if my sandwich contained avocado, to which she reassuringly confirmed each time that it did. Excited to devour my meal at home, imagine my dismay when I unwrapped my footlong, only to find NO AVOCADO whatsoever! Feeling cheated and betrayed, I immediately called the store and spoke to Ana, who, to her credit, apologized profusely and offered to rectify the situation by providing me with a complimentary replacement sandwich the next day, when Manager Brenda would be working. Fast forward to the next day, I found myself unable to visit the store due to work commitments. When I called to ensure I could still claim my sandwich, the store worker I spoke to, Yolanda, abruptly hung up on me mid-conversation. Undeterred, my boyfriend called back, only to encounter yolanda again- an extremely rude employee who showed no empathy or willingness to help. Despite our polite requests, this employee, Yolanda, displayed a shocking lack of professionalism and customer service skills. She callously dismissed my concerns, laughed off my requests to speak with Brenda, and when I said I just needed the phone number of who to call and didn't want to get her in trouble at work , she had the audacity to say "she doesn't care, a lot of places are hiring right now anyway". What should have been a simple resolution to a mistake on your part turned into a nightmare, exacerbated by the unprofessionalism and rudeness of your staff. It's unacceptable that I, as a paying customer, should be treated with such disrespect and indifference. I implore you to address this issue promptly and ensure that such incompetence and lack of respect are not tolerated in the future. As a loyal customer, I expect better from Subway, and I sincerely hope you take appropriate action to rectify this situation internally with your staff and also externally with me. If subway fixes this or even reaches out, I will update my review but if everything is left how it is now, the review will remain until something happens.
