    The Mamba Sandwich
    Paco L.

    The sandwiches here are so amazing! The owner is super friendly and it's always a pleasure to eat here! Lots of Lompoc history on the walls. I recommend the Mamba or the Captain. I always look forward to bringing people here for their first visit.

    Tried coming here a couple times just to give them a chance, but there are MUCH better alternatives close by. Skip PI's, go to Bread Board or South Coast Specialty Foods. PJ's uses pre-sliced ingredients, so cannot accommodate requests like light or thinly sliced tomato. They charge more than their listed prices. Service is a mixed bag, some people pleasant others rude. The decor is also strange, from Star Wars to pictures of what I assume to be the owner skydiving. Also, they were out of bacon. Note: the server listed on the receipt was nice.

    The Car Wash.

    Another day, Another Sammie. I'm at PJs Subs on College Ave. Very low key vibe. Sandwiches are reknown in the city for being fresh and satisfying. Students love it here. I ordered the Car Wash sandwich. The bread was soft, yet held the fillings great. Meat was good and the lettuce crisp. The one thing I wasn't too excited about was the amount of Italian dressing. My 'Car Wash' was too wet for my liking. Oh well. Tons of other choices. Enjoy.

    This just a reminder for me to not come back . 2 slice a turkey and 5 slices of cheese? Luckily the cheese was good

    Hair in sandwich
    Aleida S.

    I came here during lunch because of the student special and I was very disappointed. Come on, at least try to look like you're enjoying your job. I know, lunch might be a busy time but wow. The restaurant itself is nice, cool drinks. I got back to school and as I was about to take a bite into the sandwich, I saw a hair. I would've taken it back but my lunch was about to end. It was dry and the turkey wasn't all that great. I recommend just packing your own sandwich.

    Stopped by because of all the rave reviews from your good ol trusty neighborhood friend, Yelp...yep...the "help and yellow pages." Read all about the Tri-tip sammies and arrived to find out on that Saturday afternoon that it would NOT be ready till Monday...soo disappointed, heartbroken, devastated, and dejected...all part of the theme for the weather that was to come that evening...(sigh) Promised to come back early Monday to make an order, but my plans were thwarted by the impending storm. "Will get you next time Gadget!" Happy to have ordered the Lieutenant as a saving grace alternate, and might I say it will def get your ATTENNNNN...TION! Biting into that soft bread that is heaven in your mouth...love at first bite. "The flavourful pastrami, the intricate balance of flavors from each ingredient made it that more spectacular of an experience." said my tongue. Love the simplicity, love and connection with the community, servicemen and country this deli vibe gives off. Love the "student discount special" sign, something any former starving student would appreciate. Spoke with the owner (regrettably forgot his name, my apologies) briefly and complimented the delicious yummy goodness. He was very appreciative and proud. He mentioned this year marks their 40-year anniversary, an establishment once reigned by his very own mother. Wow! Lots of history here folks. Come by...Mondays (wink wink) and try this lil joint out. It will definitely leave a big impression. Thank you to the kind lady in the back filling orders, your smile is infectious.

    Pastrami sandwich
    Arnold V.

    Delicious sandwich, I have a particular taste for pastrami. First time here and loved the sandwich. I was promptly attended and received good service. It did not disappoint, with chips and a drink, it was a perfect choice for lunch.

    I think it's the guy who created the legendary sandwich "The Desmond".

    I'm giving a combined 3.5 star rating for both the restaurant and the bar/lounge. This restaurant…read moreand lounge, now embedded at the Village Inn, used to be in another location but moved into the newly renovated hotel. It's still quite popular with the locals, so allow wait times on the weekends. LOUNGE (3 Stars): Stopped in on our arrival night and went in for a nightcap. There were four people working the bar/lounge area, but service wasn't great. In fact, we had to request that the bar be wiped down and it was sticky and wet from the previous patrons who were long gone. Cocktails took some time to make and deliver. Seemed like a lot of locals were hanging out, and even though they made cocktails, I would say that this is more of a beer/shots/jack-n-coke kind of place. RESTAURANT (4 Stars): Stopped in for breakfast two days during our hotel visit. The service was better than in the lounge, the food was tasty, and the portions generous. Everyone kept telling me I had to try the breakfast burritos, so I chose the Chorizo Burrito ($14) and it was okay, not "wow". On the other hand, I thought that the Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs ($22) with biscuits & gravy was very good, as were the Pancakes ($20), French Toast ($20, and Ham Swiss Scramble ($10). Dave's Place carries through with the mid-century modern décor of the hotel and is a convenient addition to have both a bar and nice restaurant available for your stay, or to visit for locals. We'd stop in again when visiting the area.

    We were seated in a booth which was a tad uncomfortable due…read moreto a gap between the bottom and seat back. Overall though the renovation of the whole property is very nice. Very classy with outdoor spaces with firepits. Not sure if they served food out there but still a nice place to relax. Our server was pleasant and efficient. It was a Saturday night so they were serving prime rib. My hubby and I both ordered it, one 14oz and one 12 oz. We had a choice of soup or salad. I initially wanted the lobster bisque but after tasting it changed my mind. It was not good. Dinner came and while the flavor of the meat was good, it was overcooked. No pink at all. In hindsight I wish we had sent it back because of the cost. We ate some of it and took the rest home. I will juice it up for french dips. It came with a delicious baked potato and fresh, if slightly overcooked vegies. All in all it was a good dinner. Although I'll probably try something else next time.
