They have a big menu and the staff was welcoming and knowledgeable. - I got the brisket plate to go and oh my gosh, was it delicious ! The meat was tender and flavorful and the serving was gigantic! It came with rice and beans. I really appreciate that they used my environmentally friendly to go container that I bought from home. - There is both outdoor and indoor seating. I waited for my order outside on the patio and listened to the live band which was really good. My order was ready to go almost immediately and came with free tortillas. The meal was heavy, but in a good way, and I will definitely be returning.

I've known about this place for several years. I always wanted to come here. Everything sounded…read moregreat. So on our little trip up to Central California I decided to stop here for lunch. Oh boy, real Santa Maria BBQ! Woo Hoo! Tri-Tip is the name of the game in these parts so that's what I'm doing. Got the Tri-Tip Dip and a side of BBQ sauce so I could have it both ways. I was really looking forward to these West Coast Chili Beans too. Wife wanted BBQ Chicken so I got her the BBQ Chicken Combo. I asked the girl at the register if we could get dark meat with the combo. She looked a little confused and said "You mean like Tri-Tip?" Oh boy. No, dark meat chicken like a thigh and drumstick. "Oh, do you want a breast or a thigh?". Let's roll with the thigh, thanks. Our food came out pretty quickly. I asked for horseradish for the Tri-Tip Dip and was politely told they don't have any. Silly me, why would they have horseradish when they sell a French Dip Sandwich? The Tri-Tip Dip was decent. Not going to lie. The West Coast Chili Beans were a disappointment. I expected so much better. The BBQ sauce was runny and tastes like molasses and maple syrup. Nah, Stick with the Au Jus and you will be fine. The Chicken Combo was a train wreck. Beans cold, rice cold, chicken overcooked by a mile. It's not easy to overcook the hell out of dark meat chicken but they found a way. Wife not happy, at all. It's another one and done. Sorry Rancho Nipomo Deli & BBQ.

My go to is always the teriyaki chicken with all rice. The flavor on their chicken is ridiculously good. I don't even order teriyaki chicken anywhere else because nothing compares. Truthfully, I didn't even like teriyaki chicken until I had it from Zoe's. I also love the inside of the restaurant. It feels like you've stepped into a little spot on the Hawaiian islands. The two sisters are always there and they always remember your name, which makes every visit feel personal. On the weekends they even have a husband and wife performing live music while you eat, and it adds so much to the atmosphere. Oh, and don't sleep on the burgers. Most people come for the Hawaiian plates, but their burgers are seriously underrated too.

I honestly think Gogi is the best restaurant in Santa Maria, and it's not even close…read more Whenever someone is new to the area and asks where they should eat, this is always my first recommendation. I've had Korean BBQ all over California, and every time I try a new spot, I end up comparing it to Gogi. Nothing has beaten it yet. My favorite dish is the spicy tofu soup. It's the best I've ever had. The broth is rich, comforting, and packed with flavor. I crave it all the time. The quality here has been incredibly consistent over the years, which is rare these days. Every visit reminds me why this is my favorite Korean BBQ restaurant. If you're visiting Santa Maria or you've lived here your whole life and somehow haven't been to Gogi yet, you're missing out. This place has set the standard for Korean BBQ for me, and after trying restaurants all over the state, it's still my favorite.

Of course, cooking the various meats and fish at your table is fun and mouth watering, but expect to have everything you're wearing to be infused with the smells of the food.

Overall the food was solid, French toast was good, but why not bring out a small container of warm syrup? I found a bottle sitting on the table. Service was a bit spotty with the server refreshing my coffee mug once, dropping off a check and never to be seen again.

I really wanted to like this place, but I just don't get the hype…read more This was my first time trying New Ocean. I've heard about this place basically my whole life, and after my favorite Chinese restaurant, Pearl East, closed, I kept hearing people tell me, "Try New Ocean, they're the same owners." Well... I'm sorry, but there is absolutely no way this tasted like Pearl East. I ordered the orange chicken lunch combo. The food came out insanely fast. I literally went to wash my hands and came back and my food was already sitting there. It was hot, so I'll give them that, but the orange chicken and sauce just didn't taste fresh to me. The sauce was very runny and honestly tasted more like something I could grab from the frozen food section at the grocery store. Then came the bigger issue. I specifically asked what vegetables came in the rice because I did not want onions. I was told peas and carrots. My food came out with a LOT of onions. I was pretty grossed out because I had specifically asked beforehand. I told the server and, to his credit, he offered to let me leave without paying. I appreciated that. But when I reminded him that I had specifically asked about the onions, I was told it was the kitchen's fault. I understand mistakes happen, but I ordered based on the information I was given. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, and obviously everyone has different tastes, but after hearing so many people recommend this place, I honestly don't understand the hype. And as someone who absolutely loved Pearl East, I'm sorry but this was light years away from Pearl East for me. I wanted that old Pearl East flavor and unfortunately I just didn't find it here

Shaw's -- Our New Go-To!…read more Sometimes you just want to say, "I want a steak, a potato, and a glass of wine... and I don't want to drive very far to get it." That's where Shaw's comes in! Now that Jocko's has gone way downhill for us, Shaw's has officially become our new go-to. The food is consistently good, the staff is friendly, and we can almost always get a table without planning the dinner six weeks in advance. It's comfortable, unpretentious, and just plain good. No fuss, no drama--just a good steak, a baked potato, a nice glass of wine, and a place where you feel welcome. Shaw's has officially earned its spot in our regular rotation. Sometimes you don't need fancy. You just need good food, good people, and a good dinner close to home. Five stars from us!

Everything was great!…read more The service was perfect. The waitstaff was attentive but not intrusive. They were professional and polite. I had the beef ribs. There was just the right amount of meat. They were nicely seasoned and cooked exactly as I requested. The baked potato was coated with salt which was a nice flavor. My husband had the steak. It was tender and well seasoned with just the right amount of fat. It was cooked perfectly. The beans with the salsa were good. The fries were a little soggy but he likes them that way. He had a tom collins. The alcohol to soda and juice ratio was spot on. The atmosphere was casual. We were very comfortable. I would not hesitate to recommend Shaw's steakhouse if you are looking for a filling meal and want real value for your dollar.

I am only giving this place two stars due to the genuinely nice kid who is taking orders up front. He was extremely kind and helpful however the food had no flavor at all and the reason for the poor rating. We ordered a beef and chicken shwarma plates . Each plate will run you $17 and within 5 min our food was out. Large portions of food, food looked good but that was it. Both proteins just smelled weird and tasted off. We couldn't really eat our plates and picked at the hummus with the very good pita bread that came with the plates. Over all the food was a 0 out of 10 here. $41 bucks down the drain unfortunately. Overall, I suggest you check something else out here then the shwarma plates. Maybe you'll have better luck. I just know I probably won't return again, that's just me. But you've been warned so I hope you have a better outcome. Be safe out there folks.
