By some stroke of luck, we arrived with a 0 minute wait at 12 on Valentine's Day (indoor seating was full but we didn't mind sitting outside). There's a cute sticker machine at the wait area, for a dollar you can get a random sticker in either the peasants farm/feast brand, or what I think are local brands and artists? We chose the local brands and the slight disappointment when a sole Enegren sticker was revealed, washed over us (none of us drink). But I enjoy it being there. Despite the chill there's plenty of heaters around that make the meal plenty enjoyable. The food is around $20-30 per person if you're being stingy like us and not ordering extras like drinks or starters. And the menu rotates daily I think, everything that was recommended to me by friends wasn't on the menu. But I felt pretty full with just half the fig grilled cheese for a meal and snaking on the rest later in the day. It was the perfect blend of savory sweet, like a cheesy geode with a rock exterior of Parmesan crispy bits flaking off and rich bread but inside was gooey soft cheese that was elevated with a satisfyingly sweet fig jam. The dipping sauce the potatoes were given is kind of boring, it looked colorful but felt like just a spicy mayo. The soup was a zappy blend of carrot, ginger, and turmeric? It felt like one of those health shots subdued down smooth with cream. Our server offered bread with it and we did assume it would be $5+ but it isn't listed in the menu to my knowledge. The hot chicken was really good though, there's a multifaceted layer where you can taste the sweetness of the bread, the kick of the pickles, the crunch of the breading, and finally the succulent chicken. It's quite good! Patio is dog friendly, we were seated next to a very polite, and very excited dog. So far my favorite place to eat in Solvang! read more

I'm the type of person who researches a place before visiting - spending the weekend in Solvang last week was no different. I kept coming across peasants FEAST and knew my family and I had to add it to our list. They were Michelin recognized in 2024! We decided to check them out for lunch on a Saturday, we showed up right when they opened and got a nice seat outside on their patio. The restaurant slowly started filling up more and more after we got there so glad we arrived when we did! They do not take reservations so it is first come, first served. We ordered the Kids Orecchiette with Butter, Lil McFeast Burger and the Solvang Hot Chicken. We got some drinks on the side as well including the Fresh Squeezed Lemonade which my daughter was obsessed with. I really enjoyed the food - it was fresh and well seasoned throughout. I asked for less spice on my Hot Chicken, but it was still spicy and tasty! Overall, it was a good meal, not my favorite of the trip, but still worth checking out for sure! Service was also spot on and she gave great recommendations! We would definitely give them another shot next time we're in Solvang! I really want to check out the Pastrami Smoked Salmon Sandwich and the Nannie's Frozen Lime Pie next time! Check them out! read more

Peasant's Feast in Solvang delivers comfort food with soul. I love the story behind this restaurant. The owners and their family are food lovers and everyone in their family loves to cook. Clearly the love shows up with intention behind each dish here. It's no surprise that they have earned the Michelin Bib Gourmand for the fourth consecutive year! A true gem of a restaurant. Me and my friends enjoyed mushroom tacos, carnitas tacos, a perfectly crafted burger, velvety butternut squash soup finished with pepitas and chili oil, Parmesan-crusted grilled cheese, and creamy mac n cheese. Luckily my friends love to share, so it gave me a chance to taste everything. My favorites were the butternut squash soup, burger, and tacos. No complaints with the other items, but these stood out the most flavor wise. It's best to get here early! Preferably just before noon, because it gets busy fast. Our wait time was about 30-40 minutes, so we wandered close by to check out some of the shops. Notifications are by text, which is convenient. If you are crunched for time, then check out their extended restaurant across the street. Peasants Deli & Market which offers sandwiches. Fun Fact: The word Peasants means "Community" to the business name and Feast is named after Chef Sarah Cherney's mom. Sharing meals and bringing people together is what it's all about. Overall, a must visit when in Solvang. read more

Food and service were equally great. Maggie was my server. I sat outside as I had 2 toy pups with me. I had the Brussel salad and added a piece of hot chicken. Was delicious and fresh. Potatoes were a suggestion from my daughter. They're Michelin rated so there's likely not a bad choice on the menu. Maggie brought a bowl of water for the dogs. read more

Dropped by Solvang and decided to try this Michelin restaurant. The hot chicken was delicious. My schnitzel salad was good, but I felt the schnitzel was just okay. However, the salad itself was great! macaroni and cheese was okay. Overall, great service, cute place. What I really wanted to try was the kobe dip...maybe next time. read more

Peasants Feast has been on my list of restaurants to try at Solvang but never have the time to or the line has always been long. This time, we made sure to make time for it and roughly around 11:30 am, we walked over and put our name down. It took about 45 minutes before we were seated which didn't really feel like a long time since we kept ourselves busy by going in and out of stores! For food we ordered: - Pastrami Smoked Salmon Burger = 5/5 - Solvang Hot Chicken = 5/5 - Mac and Cheese = 3.5/5 - Fig Grilled Cheese (seasonal special) = 3.8/5 - Mushroom and Carnitas Tacos = 4/5 The food was incredible! I especially really liked the Pastrami Smoked Salmon burger. It was super delicious and huge portion too! My partner's brother quickly devoured the Solvang Hot Chicken sandwich. It was the table's favorite! Really glad we were able to try it! If you're trying to add this to your Solvang itinerary, make sure to come right when they open or put your name down and walk around like we did! read more

Peasant's Feast is a great stop in Solvang for a high-quality, casual meal. Came on the weekend right after Christmas and we had a 1.2 hour wait for a party of 10. They do have one large table that can comfortably fit 10 people. The service was friendly, and the ingredients definitely felt fresh. Here is the breakdown of what we tried: The Mains: * Hot Chicken Sandwich (4/5): A very solid choice with a great crunch. It was a good sandwich, though I felt the chicken itself could have used a bit more seasoning/flavor to make it truly stand out. * Smash Burger (4/5): A classic, good-tasting burger. Well-executed and hit the spot. * Pastrami Salmon (3.5/5): This is a cold sandwich. It was my least favorite of the three, but to be fair, I'm not the biggest salmon fan to begin with. The Sides (The real stars!): The sides here are impressive. We tried three, and all of them were winners: * 5/5 Crispy Potatoes: My favorite! It's a very large portion size, and they were perfectly crispy and delicious. * 4.5/5 Polenta: Tasted similar to cheddar grits--creamy, cheesy, and very savory. * 4.5/5 Butternut Squash Soup: Also really good and flavorful, I just personally preferred the potatoes and polenta more! Overall, it's a lovely spot with a great atmosphere. I'd definitely come back for those potatoes alone! read more

Visited peasant feast on a solvang day trip for lunch. Food was delicious and generally fair value for the area, so much so that I decided to have round 2 at their deli market across the street! Corn Soup $13 Pricey but delicious. Worth trying once. Pastrami Smoked Salmon $21 I'm a sucker for smoked salmon so I bit the bullet. Although I can't quite put my finger on how pastrami smoked salmon is different than your usual smoked salmon, I can tell that the fish quality is great, and it has the same smoothness that makes *smoked salmon superior to other forms of cooked salmon*. (*personal opinion but fight me if u think otherwise.) House Pickles $16 Something I would order again! I enjoyed how they had a variety of veggies pickled here and my fav to try was the cauliflower (very crunchy) and the beets. Usually I'm not a big fan of beets, but this pickled version had a great balance between sweetness and briney sourness. The portions for this one are better for a larger table, since it's heavy on flavor, and I couldn't finish it on my own. I had asked for it to go but they only provided a paper box, which is kinda bad for keeping pickles so ended up tossing some out before the drive back... Across the street in their deli, they also sold the pickles in plastic containers; but those did not come in a variety like the restaurant. The Godfather $18 Delicious, would buy again. Since this seemed to be only available in the deli across the street, I uploaded the review details in the deli's yelp page. read more

The food here was really good. My top favorites were the mussels and the butternut squash soup. Both were incredibly flavorful. If I had to pick one standout item, it would definitely be the butternut squash soup. That was the best butternut squash soup I've ever had. The sandwiches were also great too. The disappointing part of the meal were the fries. They were over salted, so I wasn't able to enjoy them and stopped eating them after having a couple. read more

This really hit the spot after the long drive from LA and walking around the town. The staff were super upbeat and kind. I sat in doors which was super cozy, filled with cookbooks and plants. There are also massive windows ~ I felt like a fairy in a greenhouse haha I got the Solvang Hot Chicken Sandwich with a soup salad. The chicken was spiced deliciously! The soup was a pumpkin one so it was very autumn. I'd recommend checking out this spot when you're in Solvang. Heads up that there was a long wait so keep that in mind when planning your Solvamg trip. read more

We came in for brunch on a busy Saturday but luckily our wait wasn't too long. We got lucky with timing - about 15 mins later there was a long waitlist and people standing around waiting for a table. We ordered the Ceasar salad with grilled chicken, fried chicken sandwich and the short rib grilled cheese. The Ceasar salad was delicious! Lettuce was crisped and I loved how crunchy the croutons were. There was also a lot of freshly grated parm on top, yum! The fried chicken sandwich was also yummy. Chicken was crispy and flavorful. My favorite was the short rib grilled cheese. I loved that there was a cheese crust on the outside. I just wished they had more short rib in between the slices. If I were back in Solvang, I wouldn't mind eating here again! read more

First of all.. did they put crack in this butternut squash?!! Each spoon was soooo addicting! I need to learn how to make this and eat it every morning because it will also help with pregnancy bloat. The little gems salad was amazing.. added some carnitas as protein and not sure if that was a necessary add bc the veggies were so good on their own. Maybe chicken would have went better with the salad but the carnitas were super crispy which I loved. The chicken burger (or sandwich?) was a savory herby ball of goodness but maybe a little bit breadier than I like. Overall, a super cute place with great food! read more

peasants FEAST is an airy adorable restaurant in downtown Solvang. They have a decent food as drink items. And offered both indoor and outdoor dining. Loved their comfortable chairs. Service was good. Food was average. This spot was pinned on my itinerary so here I am. I came to grab a late lunch. I was ebulliently greeted by a mature female staff. I had a salmon sandwich x salad; fresh lemonade. I liked it. Service was spot on. Menu items were a bit pricey..But hey you're in Solvang the Denmark capital of CA. :D Atmosphere was quite relaxing. Decor and layout were good with ample of natural light. Plenty of parking. Overall, I had a pleasant lunch meal. And enjoyed their service. I recommend peasants FEAST. read more

Back again on Sunday afternoon and the service was just as great as the first time! The host was super friendly and our server was prompt and attentive. We decided to try the tacos this time and they were outstanding -- I'm literally craving them again today. The spicy habanero sauce was delicious and had the perfect kick -- right up my alley! We sat on the side of the restaurant this time, and it was nice and quiet. Such a great vibe overall. We'll definitely keep bringing our family and friends here -- love introducing people to great food! read more

Line was long before it was even opened but we were so glad we stuck around to try this place! We ordered their smoked salmon pastrami sandwich with salad and their burger with potatoes and they both tasted really good!! The potatoes were really nice and crispy and hot that you could tell they were made fresh! So so good! The only critique I would make is their buns.. a little too bready for me. Other than that we would totally come back and try other things on their menu! Service was great and their indoor seating was nice and clean! read more

I was looking for something Danish but when I didn't come across anything convincing, I decided to try any good looking restaurant. The food at peasants FEAST was amazingly fresh and delicious. The hot chicken sandwich seemed popular so I went for it and was impressed, but about half way through when I reached the fresh parsley and dill in the dressing, that's when they got the fifth star! We also loved the burger and the smoked bacon on the appetizers. The interior is charming and peaceful on a weekday afternoon. I can imagine them getting very busy on the weekends. What they can improve on is a little more friendly and personalized service, which would elevate the overall experience. read more

Was excited to try this place after seeing it on the Michelin Guide. To start off, if you want to eat here I highly recommend getting there early and putting your name down on the list. We waited 45 minutes for our table midday on a Saturday. The hostess and servers were generally kind though so no complaints and I understand this place is popular. I got the Lengua tacos and my sister for the pastrami smoked salmon sandwich. I thought the tacos were okay but needed more flavor and more salt. I thought the beans on the side were too salty for my liking. The flavor wasn't anything particularly unique. I took a bite of my sister's sandwich and it was delicious but didn't taste like anything that couldn't be made at home. I did appreciate the nice presentation of the food and the ingredients tasted fresh. I'm glad I tried it, but everything was just okay. I probably will not be to be returning especially with the long wait. read more

On a lovely day in Solvang (not too hot or cold), we had to wait about half an hour for a table. First available turned out to be on the outdoor patio, which was fine with us. The patio area / tables are utilitarian and not fancy in any way. I was surprised to later go inside to use the restroom and find a very interesting dining room. It provided 1970's vibes with lots of live plants and wicker accessories. The food was solid five stars for this type of establishment. Both Dear Hubby and I had the Pastrami Smoked Salmon Sandwich. It was excellent. The seasoning of the salmon with the "pastrami" effect of peppery goodness brought amazing flavor to the sandwich. I have to avoid dairy, so I asked for the whipped cream cheese on the side. I'll admit to tempting fate by sampling it. So good! Wish that I could have fully dived into it as an aspect of the sandwich. DH had their house tomato soup as his side. I went with the potatoes. Both DH and Adored Granddaughter were stealing the nuggets of potatoes from my plate. That was fine as the quantity was generous. We ordered kids mac & cheese for her. The regular pasta option for kids is mac with a buttery sauce. She prefers cheese, so that's what they made for her. Unfortunately, (and this cost them a star) they don't offer cheese sauce as one of the kids meals options, and most children prefer cheese to butter. They charged the extra $3, but didn't bring her a side, which should have been included, especially for the price. The portion was extremely generous, and she barely made a dent in it. I personally would rather see them make the adjustment to the cheese sauce for kids and a smaller portion. Service was stellar. Our server was friendly, gracious, and very efficient. She checked back on us a number of times and made us feel welcome. Their menu is limited in each category. I picked them as I was looking for a great deli sandwich. Peasants Feast isn't really that kind of place, so I got fooled on that. What we had was excellent, so I am happy about how that turned out for our main meal of the day. read more

Be warned that the waitlist can be long, and they do not take reservations. The restaurant is small, and only has a few tables. The wait time when we went ranged from 1 h 15 min to 2 h. We put our name in early and walked around town in the meantime. The fare is generally comfort food with some unique twists. The grilled cheese was delicious, although a bit one-dimensional. The best part was the lacy parmesan crust around the sandwich. We failed to taste the fig flavor, sadly. The butternut squash soup was amazing. It was complex in flavor, and it ended up also serving as a dipping sauce for the grilled cheese sandwich. The hot chicken sandwich was delicious. read more

I had heard their hot chicken sandwich was amazing. And when I saw the line to get a table before it even opened- I could see just how popular the place was. My chicken sandwich was okay, not really worth the hype and it was not spicey at all. Also, it was served a little lukewarm. My friends burger was just okay- tasted like a good diner burger. Their house pickled vegetables were good! And the fried potatoes were pretty good. The bacon dish is just one strip of bacon for $16. I was shocked when it was served. Haha. They don't take reservations and I hear the wait can be 2 hours so be prepared when you go! read more

We decided to try peasants FEAST because it was one of the places open a little later in that area and I am so happy we did. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We were given the option of sitting inside or outside. The menu is small, but there are great options! We started with the mac and cheese. It was seasoned well, and so creamy. My daughter doesn't normally eat mac and cheese, she decided to try it and ended up eating most of it! My husband had the Solvang Hit Chicken sandwich and he shared that it was just the right amount of heat and the potatoes were a nice touch. I had the Brussels salad with the fried chicken thigh. This was one of the best salads I've ever had and that chicken thigh...it was so good I had TWO. It was juicy and full of flavor. My daughter had the chicken thigh with fries and a side of sliced tomatoes. She ate all of her chicken, this is the kid who rarely ever finishes her protein. She also enjoyed the fries and said the tomatoes were so fresh! We hope to come back soon! read more

Delicious food and excellent customer service made for a great experience here. The atmosphere was welcoming, the overall vibe was fantastic, and the presentation of the food was beautifully done.

Peasants Feast was nothing special. The fact that you have to wait in line to check your party in and then wait in another line for your party to be called is crazy. Maybe they should incorporate reservations?? The ambiance is different. Most of their seating is outside. The food is nothing special. I ordered their French Dip, Mac n Cheese, and their famous Hot Chicken sandwich. I did like their Key Lime Pie. Everything else tasted average. Not worth the hype. read more

Solid lunch spot if you want some artisanal style sandwiches, salads, or tacos. Peasants need stick to your ribs style food, to keep up your energy as you walk around Solvang from bakery to bakery, and Peasants Feast has you covered. Corn Chowder - this was good but I wished we got a smaller bowl of it. Pretty filling and starchy, less is more even though we shared it. And it was kind of one note. After a few spoonfuls I was like, yeah I get it. Next. 3.5 stars Mac n Cheese - orrechiette pasta was nice and al dente. Always a good choice to keep a good texture in Mac n cheese. The three cheese sauce was a bit on the bland side, but creamy. Bread crumbs did their thing and added some crunch. I would recommend adding bacon to add a little something else to it. 3.5 stars French Dip - can't go wrong here. Tried and true combo of roast beef, Gruyère, caramelized onions, horseradish cream (which wasn't overpowering) on an excellent beautiful seeded roll dipped in au jus that wasn't too salty. 5 stars Short Rib Grilled Cheese - what makes this special is the grilled Parmesan crisp to the outside of the bread. The short rib and caramelized onions mixture along with the pickled mustard seeds provided a nice filling against the multiple cheeses melted. Again great bread. 4 stars. (Not sure this is still on the menu, but other grilled cheeses are, or perhaps they rotate) Sides...Crispy Potatoes with a chili aioli were damn good. Cheesy Polenta - just ok, or maybe not necessary after having the Mac n cheese and corn chowder and at the point my judgement was clouded. Wasn't blown away by everything, but would be happy to come back and try other things here. I see sometimes they do dinner maybe? But it doesn't seem to be a regular thing. Or maybe they switch menus out for early dinner? I'm confused, people seem to be getting dinner here even though they close at 6pm. I'm sure other reviews will point you in the right direction for that. read more

The potatoes are also a must, so crunchy and perfectly cooked! A plus is that they have a large outdoor patio seating, are dog friendly, and have a very friendly staff.

Food was okay, but kind of pricey. Pickles: Not worth getting for the price. An assortment of pickled vegetables, but wish there was a variety of pickling treatments. French dip: Bread was good, but overall sandwich was kind of bland, as was the jus which was unfortunate. Got this with a side of carrot ginger soup, and the soup was delicious. Hot chicken sandwich: this was a pretty decent sandwich, bread was nicely toasted, butter and soft and the slaw was a great compliment to the smokey , spicy chicken. Got this with the crispy potatoes which were also very good. read more

Good - salmon was great; very dog friendly (I was able to order a beef patty for my dog). Ranch dressing good. Bad - 25 minute wait on a Sunday for an outside table, took forever (felt like - to get our food). Potatoes were good but then they weren't. Grilled chicken in Cesar salad was too chewy... Asked them to cut my salmon burger in half and they forgot. Took it back but came back super fast. Seated larger party after us without delay. Saw hostess ignore two people who were attempting to get seated and that was awkward... Giving a generous review bc of salmon and how dog friendly (mostly) they were. read more

Ordered: - Pastrami smoked salmon sandwich with a side of corn soup (4/5): Everything about this was amazing. The smoked salmon was perfectly seasoned and paired well with all the additions in the sandwich including the sauce. The only complaint I might have is that the brioche buns of the sandwich were a little too airy and dry and there wasn't a lot of sauce in the sandwich. The corn soup that came as a side option was delicious. It wasn't too creamy and was well balanced but still had the strong corn flavor shine through. - Solvang hot chicken sandwich with a side of crispy potatoes (5/5): Delicious sandwich and the aioli that came with the potatoes actually paired well with this sandwich too! Same complaint about the bun but it wasn't as big of an issue because this sandwich was a bit saucier. We ordered this at a mild spice and found that that was the perfect level of heat for us. The chicken was juicy and plentiful making this a great lunch option and the potatoes were quite filling. If there was anything to improve it'd be that I wish the sandwich was a bit bigger. Overall (4/5): A very solid introduction to Solvang - good service, cute vibes, and no wait for a weekday lunch. However, the establishment is quite a small so we can see how there could be a long wait during busier times. Good food and we hope to be back to try other items. read more

Review of Peasants Feast - Solvang Peasants Feast might just be the freshest place in Solvang--literally and figuratively. Step inside and you're greeted by a space that feels like a greenhouse reborn into a restaurant: airy, rustic, yet contemporary, with lattice above and plenty of natural flow. On a hot day, the breeze alone feels like a welcome course. The décor walks a fine line between homey and stylish--leather chairs, morning-bright tables, cookbooks lining the walls like proud art pieces, all hinting at a chef who not only cooks but studies, values, and celebrates food at its source. Outside, shaded patios keep the pace easy, while inside, the energy is already humming. A Thursday at noon and the place was full--locals, families, business folks, and curious visitors all drawn in. The food speaks for itself. A bowl of corn soup arrived with a swirl of oil and chili flakes, each spoonful layered, balanced, and glowing with flavor. The creamy polenta was perfection--not runny, not stiff--just stopped at the exact moment where texture becomes silk. The veggie sandwich was a joy to eat, held together without collapsing, the avocado perfectly ripe, the microgreens bright and alive, and the egg (with its glowing orange yolk) clearly from a happy, local hen. One detail that says it all: no salt and pepper shakers on the tables. Why? Because the chef seasons with care, hitting the sweet spot every time. The bread was soft, the flavors meshed beautifully, and every bite reminded me this is farm-to-table done right--clean, thoughtful, and precise without feeling fussy. Even the drinks felt harmonious. Green Star Coffee was the perfect match: organic, smooth, balanced between light and dark, the kind of coffee you sip and realize it's just right. And the water, served in small mason jars, tied perfectly into the restaurant's down-to-earth elegance. Service was equally dialed in. Our server, Jovanna, was warm, attentive without hovering, and quick to share a laugh. The whole team seemed in rhythm--moving neither rushed nor slow, but with a kind of natural cadence that matched the open air. The kitchen stayed quiet behind the scenes, the music kept things upbeat but never loud, and the vibe was one of flow and ease. Peasants Feast isn't just another restaurant in Solvang. It feels like a statement: food should be honest, fresh, and make you feel good when you eat it. And here, that philosophy comes through in every plate, every sip, every detail. I left not just satisfied but already thinking about my next visit. Solvang has many charming spots, but Peasants Feast stands out as something more--it's a place with soul. read more
