Fabulous, fresh sandwiches; large; amazingly good bread. Quick service; accessible parking. Daily, excellent soups.

WORST CEASAR SALAD EVER! Sandwiches were a joke... Worst foccocia bread Will not be back read more

I used to enjoy this restaurant but over the years it got too expensive so stopped going frequently. Recently I decided to give it another try, bad idea. Their quality sucks now. Unfortunately the ingredients don't taste fresh and they hardly put anything in them! The staff is a bit unprofessional, but I get it they're young. I just could not believe how bad the quality is for the price. Love that they have a lot of veggie options but almost 15 bucks for a sandwich is steep. read more

The curried chicken salad sandwich is my favorite in the entire world! Fresh focaccia bread, really tasty flavors! Always super easy to order ahead on the phone. read more

Panino - Curried chicken salad sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Goleta, California

It's ok. Not bad not great, just ok. Food ingredient quality is good. Flavors and textures aren't great. Chicken panini over cooked and tough and not very tasty. Bread is decent. Roasted peppers not flavorful. They have decent ingredients they just don't have great flavor and expensive for the quality. read more

First visit to Panino for Santa Barbara first ever sandwich week. Great reception. Friendly young man took my order. Decided to try the Turkey Brie sandwich as I love both. Asked to hold mayo, as I don't really eat mayo but do like mustard; but I neglected to read that it was honey mustard on the sandwich. Unfortunately they seem to think if I held the mayonnaise I would like extra honey mustard. It was so sticky and sweet. I could not eat as is, so I took it apart and the mustard on the bread looked like pure honey. I threw away the honey soaked bread and piece of lettuce, added fresh lettuce wrap and sriracha and it was edible. I recommend them for their fresh vegetables, they were plentiful and fresh. However the turkey and Brie were less than most local sandwich establishments. Turkey was 2 folded average slices and Brie was one and a fourth slices about an inch width , I added more of my own extra Brie. I guess my take away is maybe stick with their veggie sandwich's. Not my favorite sandwich week sandwich. read more

If you're really into sandwiches and into variety, Panino is a solid option. We popped in to order takeout. There are thirty sandwiches to choose from, plus a handful of salads. You can choose from focaccia, whole wheat, sourdough, and baguette. The sandwiches are very large, so you can easily share one. While others in my group ordered sandwiches, I opted for a cobb salad. The greens were super crisp and all of the ingredients were very fresh. This was also a very generous portion. The salad was a-ok. The space is airy and casual. read more

I had the #12 on Foccacia and it was tasty. My one critique is that it had too much lettuce. But overall the flavor was great!!! Loved it

This small deli chain has a decent menu with decent prices. Everything is fresh, and there are good vegetarian options. Service on our visit at this location was average. I had a Greek sandwich with tapenade, feta, and veggies. There was plenty of flavor. I like it. She had a chicken salad sandwich. It had good flavor, though the chicken salad was a bit watery. It soaked into bread, making it a little yucky. She did give it bonus points for being on a real baguette. I give it 4.5 stars, she gives it 3.5. That averages out to a solid four stars. read more

Literally my favorite sandwich and salad spot. I'm such a fan of their Brie and turkey sandwich, as well as their curried chicken salad salad. Everything is always super flavorful and fresh. Plus, the servings are HUGE! They offer a great selection of drinks and chips to pair with your order. This location offers both indoor and outdoor seating, plus has really convenient parking right out front. read more

Panino - Curried Chicken Salad Salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Goleta, California

Definitely a good healthy option for lunch or dinner with a decent selection. I do wish there were more sandwich options for people who are vegetarians, but if you do eat meat there is a good variety. The staff was very nice and helpful, and the ambience was cute and matched with the beauty vibe of the area. I do wish I got more quantity with the sandwich given the price point, but besides that it was an enjoyable meal! read more

Panino - 2 half chicken salad sandwiches, one garden half salad, and one chicken tortilla half soup - Sandwiches Near Me - Goleta, California

One of my favorite sandwich places ever. The turkey and Brie sandwich is to DIE for. It's pricey but worth every penny. The salads are almost as delicious as the sandwiches! A fun, sunny spot in SB that is definitely worth a visit. read more

I love the harvest salad! This is a bright, clean, well ventilated restaurant for sandwiches and salads. Very knowledgeable staff about extensive sandwich options. Staff seem very happy! Bread is fresh, greens are crisp and meats are high quality. read more

Depending on my taste buds for the day, Panino has either the best or the 2nd best sandwich in town. That would be the Italian combo on focaccia. Layered with fine meats and cheeses, it's thoughtfully complemented by a delightful basil aioli, lettuce, and thin cut green bell pepper and cucumber. If one maneuvers the meat and cheese correctly, every bite has the most appealing ratio of ingredients you will ever taste in a sandwich. It's like taking a bite out of the Sistine Chapel, or being able to taste the Mona Lisa. If they ever change it, I will seriously write a strongly worded letter to management. If I ever were to try any of their other sandwiches, I'm assuming they would also be delicious. The prices are a bit more than average, much as the price of a Lakers ticket costs more than one for the Clippers. read more

this place is terrific. honestly one of the best sandwiches i know of in santa barbara. but where they really shine is customer service. i know, what's that anymore? several times i've been helped by an associate named erin and she always has a great attitude and gets her job done efficiently. i don't know if they do employees of the month but she'd definitely deserve that honor over and over. a delicious sandwich and genuine smile might just turn one of these overcast days around for you, it did for me. read more

One of my favorite lunch places in goleta. I definitely recommend this place they have great soups, salads, and sandwiches. My go to order is a the the half and half special with #9 and curried chicken salad. The dressing on the salad really makes it which is why i was bummed that they forgot to include it in my to go order bag by the time i got home and realized they had forgot it was too late to go back considering they close at 4. Really bummed about my lack of dressing today but overall i love this place. read more

Panino is a regular stop on the way to my favorite wineries. Their sandwiches are amazing and they have a huge menu. This Los Olivos location is always packed, so order ahead. read more

The Black Forest ham & tuna and artichoke hearts sandwiches are great. They came on fresh bread, and were loaded with thick cuts of cheese and fresh vegetables. The service in the shop is good, however they have a tendency to unplug the phone lines at or around lunch time which makes ordering ahead of time a challenge. The phone thing often deters me from coming. read more

Almost $16 for just 1 sandwich I think they charge you more if you eat in vs take out. Cashier spoke to fast. Was not able to understand her. Had a shirt that said "fuck this". Extremely unprofessional. Didn't offer anything to drink, chips or anything. Does this place have a combo menu? Sandwich, drink & chips for a good price?? Brought sandwich to my table. I said thank you and she said nothing! Need to provide better customer service. Food alone won't keep customer coming back. Specially at these prices! read more

Panino - Roast beef on sourdough. - Sandwiches Near Me - Goleta, California

Great local sandwich shop, with a delicious fresh healthy twist. Definitely my favorite sandwich shop in town.

Okay, this was not exactly what I expected, but its a delightful surprise!! I decided to try something new and go with the English Stilton and pear sandwich today...I don't know why, but I assumed the cranberries and walnuts would be in a kind of chutney so when I opened my sandwich I was kind of disappointed until I took a bite. HOLY COW ITS DELICIOUS! Everyone should try this sandwich on Foccacia bread! Classic faves of mine also include the Turkey and Salami, Cobb Salad Sandwich, and Caprese Sandwich. I've honestly never had anything that I didn't like. Thanks for another delicious lunch today, Panino! read more

Panino - English Stilton and Pear sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Goleta, California

PERFECT. Came in with my sister and we both got the half sandwich half salad combo. We both got the pear salad and it was EXCELLENT. She got the vegetarian with avocado and I got the vegetarian with roasted red pepper and goat cheese on the baguette and we were both very, very happy. The space was very clean and the staff friendly. Will definitely be returning next time I'm in the area!! read more

My husband bought two chicken curry salads. Very disappointed this time. The chicken salad did not have a curry taste at all. The chicken was chopped not the usual sliced and the apples were practically mush. We are good customers and expect quality that is usually in the foods. read more

Very good sandwiches! I ordered the half sandwich, half salad, and it was more than enough food. I ended up getting turkey, with sundried tomatoes and provolone, and it was delicious. The only thing I would change about the sandwich is to toast it- I'm never a huge fan of cold sandwiches unless they're actually meant to be cold (i.e., cold cut, tuna salad, etc). I would recommend panino to anyone. The one thing that kind of made me a little disgruntled is the lack of manners customers have in regards to who is standing in line. Had a bunch of people just cut me in line, which is not the responsibility of the employees, but having them know I was in line could have been helpful. read more

I ordered a Greek Salad with chicken and a can of soda (no fountain drinks available). What I got was a Greek salad with deli turkey meat. I also paid 17 and some change for basically a breadless deli sandwich and a can of soda...pretty disappointed to say the least. On the upside service was fast and friendly :) read more

Panino - Greek Salad with "chicken?" - Sandwiches Near Me - Goleta, California

Literally one of my favorite spots for sandwiches in SB. Delicious, high-quality, fresh ass ingredients. You can't go wrong, everything is delicious. Miss this place! read more

I love this restaurant, and i love all the locations. I always get the same thing: #29 - avocado and provolone (with lots of veggies!). The variety of options on the menu is amazing, and I'm never disappointed. It's always easy to call in and get a sandwich to go, and then pick it up on the way through. I love Panino! read more

Oh my. It's all about the English Stilton sandwich. What is that, you ask? English Stilton is some amazing blue stinky cheese. So stinky in all the right ways. The sandwich mashes the cheese with Asian pears and such, with balsamic vinaigrette. I chose sourdough as my English Stilton delivery vehicle. It was dreamy; no meat needed. I was eating on the run, and was in heaven for the five minutes it took me to gobble it down in my car. Oh yum. However...for a vegetarian sandwich, $9 seemed a bit much. However...for a heavenly delightfulness experience, $9 might just be worth coming back. read more

If I had the option to give this place 0 stars, I would. There was one other person in the restaurant when I came at 2 pm. The menu is too big to read through the entire thing. They would benefit from shortening it. I ordered the roast beef/french dip with au jus and sauerkraut on the side. Take my advice and stay far, far, far away from that. I think they either used some sort of a bullion cube for the au jus or made it from a very concentrated stock because one of the servers asked her coworker to "heat up some water for the au jus." Saying that the au jus was salting would be the understatement of the year. Maybe the water the used to make it was water directly from the dead sea, or maybe they just added 10 times the salt they should have, but I was dying of thirst after my first dip into the au jus. The sandwich itself was dry (it could have been saved by the au jus, but I was too scared to dip it in again). It didn't have any horse raddish, which would have made it sooo much better. Sauerkraut was not very good, either. Would not come back and would not recommend. read more

Panino - French dip sandwich with au jus - Sandwiches Near Me - Goleta, California

Asking for education, how a gourmet sandwich stands at about $13.95 when half a sandwich comes to $9.95 , Don't misunderstand I believe quality over quantity and inflation and maybe that's how we justify $13.95 for a sandwich most definitely willing to change three stars to five stars for a little bit more explanation, overall experience perfect, great staff, great people always greeting with a smile, but pricing read more

Panino is my favorite sandwich spot in SB. It's a must, at least once, every time I visit! I get the #9, turkey and Brie, always on Focaccia. The ingredients are so fresh, including the bread, and the portions are large! Well worth the money, in my opinion. The Goleta location is a quick stop off the 101, much better alternative to fast food! read more

I expect more from a chain. The sandwiches are fine. Not great given the better, local, Mom & Pop options in the area and the service is sloooooow. One cook and one person behind the counter taking orders from the long line and over the phone. Also, there were multiple numbers handed out for table delivery. I was 18 but so was the table next to me. There was a mix up there and also when only 1/2 the table received the order and #18 was picked up. Guess what, it was handed right back out. Now there's 2 tables with #18 and part of our table is still waiting for some of that 18 goodness. It was a cluster. Luckily we had time but the table next to use was not happy with the service and mixups. Ordered the French Dip and was asked what bread I wanted. Interesting. Maybe I should have tried it on Focaccia. The Au Jus was seriously salty but came in a big cup. More than enough for the little dip of a sandwich if you like a sodium overdose. I may pop in again if it's convenient but not for the Dip and not if I'm in a hurry to get my food. read more

Ben was extremely generous and provided amazing customer service. I placed my order and informed them that I would be next-door ordering something at backyard bowls and he was kind enough to bring it over once my order was complete ... unexpected surprise and made my day thank you so much and keep up the amazing service ! read more

Love the sandwiches here, but they need more employees- we called in lunch on a Saturday and they left me on hold forever, then when we got there we saw that there was only one cashier/server and one cook working. So it took forever to get our food, even though we had called ahead AND given them twice as long as they'd estimated to make our order. read more

Trying to find a quick place to eat is not always easy when you don't know where you are, so it was a lucky break to walk into Panino. We had a roast chicken sandwich with red peppers and basil on sourdough and chicken pesto on foccacia. Both sandwiches were very tasty I'll come back here any time I'm in the area for a quick bite. The Firestone DBA ale was pretty good too. read more

Panino - Sandwiches Near Me - Goleta, California

Katie is the best Panino employee, no contest. I go to the SB Panino and Montecito Panino as well, but the Goleta one is my favorite, primarily for their customer service. I've seen her swamped, line out the door with orders waiting to be handed out to customers - She always keeps her cool. Katie is sincere, kind and provides the best customer service to everyone, regardless of how busy/slow it is. She is always in a great mood, greets all customers with a sincere attitude and goes above and beyond with every order. Panino give this girl a raise and/or make her a manager!! Thanks for the great customer service Katie! read more

When the sandwich is good, it's great, but half the time it tastes mediocre. For almost $11 a sandwich, I would expect a lot more consistency in the quality of my food. The #29 on focaccia is the best sandwich when they make it right, but sometimes they put barely any of the honey mustard sauce on it, or the bread is too hard, or they are stingy with the avocado. It's just too bad there is no consistency. read more

Good for a variety of sandwiches...Always happy to accommodate special requests in my experience and the girl today was very sweet as well as the other one making sandwiches in the back. They were very kind and made my half sandwich promptly. Recommend this location for pick up and ease-of-use compared to downtown depending on if you live nearby... The soft focaccia bread is a must unless you are gluten-free and which case it's hard to enjoy most sandwiches! read more

Panino - Sandwiches Near Me - Goleta, California

OMG...!!! I wonder what makes this place so popular. The sandwich I had tasted horrible and I was almost about to spit out. Did I choose the wrong one?? Okay, I admit that their veggeis are very fresh and nicely cut. Of course ingredients are very important for delicious food, but....don't you think the harmony of each ingredient is the most important thing regarding cooking as art or science? The dressing in my sandwich, Mix Vegetable, didn't match veggies at all. It was too sweet, but the artichoke was very sour. I felt like I was eating pickles and chocolate at the same time. The thing that pissed me off most was what I spent $8.50 for experiencing this!! What a waste of money!! This disgusting sandwich ruined my pleasurable Friday afternoon. read more
