    Made it finally
    Mike L.

    This place has been on my radar since I lived in So Cal roughly 6-8 years ago. I gotta tell you it was totally worth the wait. It turns out they've even expanded. We shared a few personal size pizzas a bahn mi and Brussels sprouts and everything was on point. Friendly staff and plenty of area to sit. Great food worth the stop anytime.

    Butcher paper wall menu

    We stopped in after wine tasting for to-go items. I knew to expect that some things would be 86'ed by visiting later in the day. Many of the staff were courteous but all-business (of course, they were busy). The ever-changing list of seasonal menu items was posted on butcher paper on the wall. I had eaten here twice before and dined there, so this was my first carry-out experience with them. As with dine-in or carry out, drinks are in the cooler so grab your choice and bring to the counter to order your food. We ordered the brisket sandwich, which was small cubes of brisket rather than slices. The bun was soft and delicious and the slaw was well-dressed. The flavor of the brisket was good but the small cubes kept falling out of the sandwich. We also had the beet, hummus, citrus, lavash salad ($16), for which they smartly packed up the ingredients separately so we could self-assemble at home. The house-made lavash was crispy and delicious, almost like a garlicky pappadum. I loved that. The citrusy hummus was fine and the ruby beets unremarkable. Watching the plates come out of the kitchen, beautifully presented, and watching the industrious efforts of the cooks and servers in their open kitchen, I'd say it's still your best bet to eat in here, get there early for best selection, and read the reviews for stand-out items.

    Came here twice during a trip to the Central Coast, and this place is a gem in Buellton. The layout of Industrial Eats is pretty simple, just line up to order at the front of the counter, get a number, and find an open spot. They deliver the food to your table once ready. In the both times I went, I got the Beets and Hummus with chips, the Miso Cod with avocado, and the beef tongue pastrami Reuben. All the dishes I tried here were delicious and the quality was fresh, with my favorite being the pastrami Reuben. The pastrami was very tender and not overly salty, and really liked how complimentary the horseradish was with the pastrami. My only complaint is how overwhelming the menu can be just reading it when ordering at the front. There was one guy in front of me that felt stressed out about what to order. The service here was pretty nice. I would visit here again to try their pizza.

    Salmon Carpaccio, Avocado, Shoyu
    Clarissa D.

    This place gets a 5 stars recognition only because Solvang was super packed and couldn't find a place we all wanted to go get lunch at. Randomly found this hidden gem only 10 mins away from the main area. It fit everyone's taste palette and I enjoyed every dish I tried. You sit at a table then get up and order your food, they'll give you a number and the food comes to you. We ordered the salmon carpaccio, petite filet, and the cuban. Let me tell you I was very quiet being in a big group only because I was enjoying my food too much. The carpaccio was so good!! We couldn't find any pictures on yelp or anywhere else but still decided to get it because it sounded too good and it didn't disappoint at all. Great way to start the meal! The petite filet was full of flavor and lastly the Cuban was extremely delicious and I devoured every piece of that sandwich. I asked for extra pickles because I love pickles and also added mustard and hot sauce myself. The environment was super chill and nice to have everyone get something different and didn't have to wait a long time. I would definitely be returning if I was every back in town. If your ever in town or visiting Solvang definitely have some food in town but if it's too overwhelming or crowded industry eats is the way to go.

    Beef Tongue Pastrami Rueben
    Carlo G.

    I was looking for a quick and casual dinner in the Buellton area and I'm glad Yelp recommended me this spot! I ordered the Beef Tongue Pastrami Rueben and it was delicious! The sandwich was meaty and had great textures. The bread was crispy and buttery, the beef tongue was juicy and flavorful, the cheese and sauce was creamy and rich, and the sauerkraut was crunchy and tangy. All of these components combined made a tasty sandwich. I also liked how it came with a lettuce salad which provided a nice freshness to cut the richness of the sandwich. For around $20, this was a good value. You could even save the other half of the sandwich for another meal since it was very filling. Walking-in the interior was very social as you sit at shared tables with other people. The service was okay, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the cashier giving me some attitude when I asked what she'd recommend from the menu. Also, I asked for my order to-go, but they ended up just serving my order on a plate in-house. I didn't feel like asking again for my order to-go, so I ended up eating at the restaurant. I would recommend paying more attention to the customer's order in the future. They also have a parking lot in front and a self-serve water station. Overall, a good experience here. I would just recommend working on delivering a better customer experience.

    Amazing food and done fast. Fresh delish and very busy all the time! They have many options that change every day and was a wonderful experience. Highly recommend for lunch!

    Simple turkey sandwich with incredible flavor.
    Laura H.

    How can a simple turkey sandwich be so perfect? I don't know but it was. An owner of a wine bar we frequent here in Southern California recommended I try it so we grabbed that and a pizza on our recent visit. Pizza was good, but with so many good pizza options now it wasn't the star of the show for us. Great flavor and perfectly cooked though. We got there right at opening on a Sunday so we had great service and didn't wait long for our food. It wasn't long before there was a constant line of about 5-10 people there the rest of our visit though. Great little industrial area we frequent since there's little tasting rooms in the area and we enjoy getting a beer at Figueroa which is right there as well. Will definitely be back - now that I'm looking on Yelp there are so many other things I'd love to try!

    Cesar salad and potato pizza
    Terri S.

    I'm so disappointed, what was previously an excellent place has lost it's luster. The Cesar salad was drowning in dressing, a good amount of garlic, but thick layers of dressing on every crevice of the fresh, crispy lettuce (a point for not serving soggy lettuce), made this salad a disappointment. The potato, sage, cheese pizza was a compete miss. It was basically flavorless; thin slices of potato on pizza dough, with a few dollops of cheese and a minimal amount of scattered sage. We paid $3 for an egg on top and anticipated a soft sunny side up with a runny yoke to add flavor, instead we got a fully cooked solid yoke that added no flavor to the pizza. Too bad, this place used to be good, maybe we picked the wrong dishes. In light of seeing a staff member rinse his mouth out and spit into a sink at the bar, in full view of patrons, was more than a little disgusting and it will be crossed off our list.

    Dog friendly inside!
    Jami M.

    We stopped here on our way home from Paso per a rec from a friend and it did not disappoint! It's tucked away in an industrial area but we easily found street parking. You order at the counter & they bring you your food. Decent wine. Food was great! They are a place that makes food until they run out so be ready for that if you come later. My crispy fish sandwich was delicious! Perfectly cooked fish. My hubs got the Ban Mi sandwich and raved about the flavor combination. I had been told the Cesar Salad was bomb and it was! Dog friendly inside as well! Def going to become a regular stop on our way to and fro central coast. Yum!

    Sheppards Pie
    Nacho S.

    Food is always amazing, fresh and delicious. Staff is friendly and always accommodating. Pretty cool industrial space with community style sitting perfect to meet others if you want to have a small chat while waiting for your food. One of the best Caesar salads I've had in a while. A must try.

    Unfortunately, Lana Del Rey finished the meal, but very pleased!
    John F.

    The food was so amazing and different! Highly recommend! Service and ambience was great. We would highly recommend coming and checking out this place. If you're camping at flying flags are very resort. It is so close!

    Are they still dog friendly in 2024? All of the previous answers are 5-7 years old, and they seem to no longer have outdoor tables.

    When I visited in early November 2024, dog friendly!

    Does this have outdoor seating?

    They do, but it's a small outdoor space with a couple of tables that go fast.

    Do they take reservations?

    Not that I know of. But I highly recommend stopping at this place. I went there twice and have never had a long wait

    Is this place Dog friendly? Maybe on the patio?

    Yes and you can even bring dogs inside. At least when I was there, the guy at cashier told me I can bring dogs inside. I was gonna sit patio but I had dinner with my dogs inside.

    Cocktails served here?

    No cocktails. Beer and wine on tap.

From the moment we walked in, it felt less like a restaurant and more like being invited into someone's passion project. The intimacy of the setting made it special right away--small group, shared experience, and a level of attention you just don't get in a traditional dining environment. Each course was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, but more importantly, it delivered. The food was the clear star--clean, intentional, and incredibly well-executed. Every dish felt like it had a purpose. The steak and mushrooms were a standout, and dessert was right there with it. The wine pairings introduced us to bottles we wouldn't normally find or order ourselves, which added to the experience. If anything, I would've loved even more storytelling around the pairings--how and why each wine was chosen to complement the dish--but that's a small note in an otherwise incredible night. What really elevated the evening was the host's passion. You can feel it in how the food is prepared, how the evening flows, and how guests are brought into the experience. It's not just dinner--it's connection, storytelling, and craftsmanship all rolled into one. If you're looking for something beyond a typical night out--something more curated, more personal--this is absolutely worth it. A memorable night all around.

It was fine, but it lacked the depth and excitement that the wine brought to the table.

To put things in perspective, our group was... not easy. Six adults, seven kids (including a toddler), lots of energy, noise, and the kind of chaos that usually makes restaurants uneasy.

From the moment we arrived, she made us feel completely at ease. Not once did we feel like we were a burden. Instead, it felt like we were being welcomed into someone's home. She managed everything seamlessly--taking the reservation, guiding us through the menu, coordinating orders, serving, and somehow keeping the entire room balanced without ever making us or other guests feel uncomfortable. What stood out most was her awareness and care. You could tell she was actively managing the room, making subtle adjustments so everyone--us and the surrounding tables--could enjoy their time. And she did it with patience, warmth, and professionalism that's honestly rare to find. Maya wasn't just a server--she was a guide. She read the room, adapted, and created an experience that felt personal and genuine. If more people in the restaurant industry approached hospitality the way she does, dining out would feel very different. Thank you, Maya. You made a special night even more meaningful.
