Great food and friendly service can't go wrong with that combination! Unfortunately, we only had time for a quick lunch stop on our way down the coast, but it was well worth it, especially enjoyed their sushi sando! read more

The food was yummy!! A great twist on classic American food with Asian. Outdoor seating, very casual! We ordered: Sesame soy garlic wings (they were tempura fried and soooo good!!) Sushi Sando (a bit thick on the crispy fried rice but very refreshing) Mac and cheese & pork belly burrito (love the concept but it was a bit bland, the salsa helped though!) Pork belly loaded fries (delicious! Nothing too special if you've had loaded fries before) Mushroom truffle burger (table favorite, so delicious. you can smell and taste the truffle !! Would not recommend if you don't like truffle though) We ordered five things for a group of four and it came out to $20 per person! I would say it's very reasonably priced. Would come back! read more

Everything has gotten so expensive but I was craving a burger so went to Happy Cat (1st time, though a big fan of Oku). Super fast service, smash burger was perfect and at an affordable price. Got a side of fries and couldn't finish them. Lots of comfy seating in the shade or sun, whichever you prefer. Will definitely go back. read more

smashburger was bomb -- bun is on the fluffy side, which i'm cool with, but i know smashburger purists might say otherwise. either way, flavor was and honestly best burger i've had this year. the lemonade was also bomb. needed a quick bite before catching the train and this spot totally delivered -- fast service + super kind staff. will 100% be back. read more

Such a cute outdoor place for brunch! Their lavender Matcha was one of the best ones I've had. We got the breakfast burrito with pork belly, which was good but very heavy with the mac & cheese. So glad we got the avocado toast, which was a great pairing for a fresh and light snack. The service was good, you just order at the window and they bring it out to your table. Highly recommend trying this place right at the waterfront! read more

Good food, great view with convenient location to hotels, the beach/pier;however if you are limited on time this is not the place for you also parking is limited ( just like other eateries in the area). Our order took almost an hour to come out! Walk up window gave us the impression it was a local fast food place. I would go back and I do recommend this restaurant. The food was good, just don't be in a rush and be prepared to have food served on paper plates. read more

Amazing fish and chippies! Great location too! I love this spot and the outdoor seating.

Good food right across from the beach. Clean & inviting setting. You walk up & order your food, pay then hey bring the food to your table. I want to go back to try other items on the menu. Parking was relatively easy to find on the street. Definitely recommend this place for their food & location. read more

So, it's burrito week in Santa Barbara. My first stop was at Happy Cat Eats, a stunning location right by the water. My view was spectacular, and the ambiance of the place is great too. I really wanted to love these burritos, but the Mac and cheese was just not working for me. I'm sure if I returned, I'd be ordering the chicken bao tacos: those looked amazing. The service was okay. It took a bit for our orders to come out, but it was around 6PM on a Saturday night, so it was understandable. read more

The food was amazing, and the kids in our group said they liked the food. Service was kind, moderately fast and was helpful.The ambiance was fun and it felt very much like a community. A great little place to sit and get good food. read more

god, this was so damn good. the mac n cheese being the bed for everything made it butter! everything was creamy and perfectly cooked if anything, the sausage tastes like your average jimmy dean but aye, overall this is a 10/10 from me the eggs benedict were a special, not sure if they will have it again, but this was a definite 10/10 too! everything paired well together, especially dem carnitas tho mmmmmmm. ps; this place is alongside the beach as well. good food, great price, and a view of the beach?! shit, what more could you ask for. i'm from vegas so i was hella gushing over this place. gonna be my breakfast spot whenever i'm in town now if anyone is curious on how to order; you order at the window, they'll give you a number, find any seating and they will serve the food to you :) oh and be courteous and put your dishes in their designated trash and dish bins before leaving! read more

It's the local spot you want to find in every town you're not a local in. We stopped 2x while staying in SB. Everything was great! The dbl burger, the sano sandwich, fish tacos, breakfast burrito (homemade salsa), breakfast sandwich, cinnamon roll were excellent. Great flavors, Asian flare and fresh/made to order for a uber casual walk up window spot. It's worthy of a full service restaurant. -walk up window. -outdoor seating under umbrellas if needed. -street parking -Asian flare -busy but not obx wait read more

Amazingly nice folks. I got the wrong item due to a miscommunication over the phone and they happily swapped my dish out for the right one. Super fast service and the sushi sando and chicken bao tacos were legendary. The smash burger was also ok but not as spectacular. Small place so outdoor eating only. Parking was confusing; it's a lot shared by Oku and other nearby restaurants and you enter by taking the road to the right of the restaurant. It's behind it and the lot is valet only (but it's complimentary). Nowhere does it say that it's complimentary for Happy Cat Eats in addition to Oku and such but we figured it out read more

The chicken tempura sandwich was hands down the best sandwich I've ever eaten! Can't wait to go back and get another!

My husband has a shellfish allergy, so finding a place where we could both enjoy something is a win. He had the fish and chips and said it was really good crispy, flavorful, and no complaints. He polished off the whole plate! I ordered the sushi sando and loved it. It was super refreshing and packed with flavor. Be warned though come hungry! The portion was huge. Since my husband doesn't eat sushi, I had to tackle it solo and it was a mission . Definitely a great item to share or save half for later. Seating is outdoor only, but every table had an umbrella so we weren't in direct sun. You do get a partial ocean view--it's across a patch of grass and a small road, but still nice to look out and see the water while you eat. You order at the window and they bring your food out to your table, which we appreciated. All around, a chill spot with good vibes and great food. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town! read more

Had reservations at a place nearby but saw lots of people heading there so we decided to check it out. Loved everything we tried. Drinks and food!! Somehow they managed to get extra cinnamon goo under the roll. It was delicious!!! Saw a few items go by that we thought looked good so we're going back tomorrow!!! read more

Walked by the super long line at Jeannine's and came to Happy Cat Eats. Recommend that you do the same! We came for breakfast and had the cinnamon roll and the breakfast bowls, and two ice coffees. All were excellent, with the quality of ingredients and cooked perfectly! The cinnamon roll is fresh and made in house, and is sublime! Seating was relaxing and the views are beautiful of the pier, ocean and palm trees. Didn't want to leave! Will be back again for sure!! These cats are definitely happy!! read more

The omelette (with bacon) was really good. Counter service with friendly employees. The potatoes and muffins were ok. Would skip the peach muffin next time. Had to a salt it to bring out the flavors. Also potatoes a little cold. Great atmosphere with views of the harbor and wharf. read more

food was amazing!! the wagyu burger was delicious and their fries are great. tried the açaí bowl as well, a little too much granola for my liking but great nonetheless. only downside is the wait time, takes a minute to get your food read more

Cool spot right across from the pier. The coffee, chai tea and cinnamon roll were excellent. The breakfast burrito had way too much mac and cheese for our taste but staff was friendly and would come back again. read more

Great menu! Cozy comfy food. Friendly staff. I go at least once a week!!! Right on the beach!

There cinnamon rolls are so yummy and there coffee is so good my friend ordered a scone it was so delicious too

Yeah, I'd eat here again! Friendly cashier, I ordered the fish and chips. As you can see by the photo the portion was ample and it was fresh and tasty. Nice outdoor seating on a sunny day with a beautiful view. Thank you! read more

Nice place lots of potential I ordered the bbq without mushrooms and yep you guessed it... mushrooms. Why can't people follow directions?

Very creative sandwiches full of flavor and good ingredients at a very reasonable price when more can you ask?

I've only been here once, and only tried one dish, but the chicken bao tacos are 10/10. I can't wait to go back. Probably tomorrow before I leave. read more

I came here for the sole purpose of getting a cinnamon roll and wow. Did not disappoint. They made it quick and the amount of icing was perfect. Loved it! read more

This place really hits the spot. We've carted out twice and everyone has been happy with their choices. The sushi sandwich is something we'd never make at home so we've ordered it both times and like it. The service we appreciate as they have their system dialed in...can let them know your car make and model and they will walk your food out. Very efficient as there is zero parking. I can't speak for the ambiance as we haven't dined in. The salads are fresh. The fish taco is crunchy and the fish seems fresh. The burrito was great-nice to sell a breakfast like burrito all day. read more
