You should order the hot Solvang chicken, the smoked salmon sandwich. The server was attentive and fast! The restaurant is cute with real flowers on each table. The restaurant can be packed so make reservations if you can. read more

grilled cheese sandwich had a lot of cheese, but not a lot of flavor bread on the beef sandwich seemed stale. it required the dip to be chewable. best thing is their hot sauce. hot sauce was good enough for us to go across the street to purchase and bring home we didnt order it, but the burgers looked good. service was very slow on a saturday afternoon. they weren't very busy - there were several empty tables. read more

peasants FEAST was okay. We were seated outside of the side of the restaurant near the narrow side of the patio near the restroom. It was a very hot afternoon. With all the brick, stone, and lack of trees around it didn't make the atmosphere feel any cooler. Some more greenery would be nice. The mac and cheese was good. I didn't need to add the bacon to it, it wasn't worth the added expense. The Hot Chicken sandwich was alright. I loved that they cut the sandwich in half for us because we were sharing everything. The chicken wasn't dry and the breading managed to stay a little bit crispy. read more

Whenever we visit Solvang we usually eat Danish food at the local Danish restaurants. We decided to try a different highly touted restaurant that we have not had before. We arrived at Peasants Feast on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. The restaurant is located in a nice area in the heart of Solvang. Parking is accessible in the several large parking lots and street parking around the area. Inside the restaurant is moderate- sized with nice modern decor. Plenty of tables and booths are available for dine in. The outdoor patio looks inviting and relaxing. We ordered a Solvang hot chicken sandwich, pastrami smoked salmon sandwich, a kids fried chicken, a glass of Chardonnay, and a local draft craft beer. Everything was delicious and high quality. My hot chicken sandwich had the right amount of juiciness and crispness. The spicy kick was just right as well. The pastrami salmon sandwich was flavorful. It was a different unique take comparable to the lox bagel. Unfortunately my son's kids fried chicken underwhelmed as it only had 1 piece of chicken. It was tasty but lacking in portions size. For that price, 2-3 pieces of chicken would have been more fair. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Peasants Feast. The staff were friendly and helpful. The vibe was family friendly and bustling. I like the fact that the restaurant was not your typical Solvang tourist trap. Next time we are back in town, I definitely would come back to try other dishes on the menu. read more

Peasants FEAST in Solvang is a must. Peasants Feast has earned Michelin recognition, and it's easy to see why. I ordered the mushroom tacos with a side of pinquito beans, and everything was SO good. The tacos were delicious, and the beans were the perfect side. They focus on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and really let the food speak for itself. Robbie was my server and he was knowledgeable and attentive. He made the experience even better. Peasants Feast is a yummy decadent stop in Solvang. and I love their no reservation policy. It makes it so easy to come on by. Thank you! Support local! read more

Loves the atmosphere! Both interior and exterior seating were beautiful and thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience here. Staff was kind and the food was tasty and beautiful LIL MC FEAST BURGER $23 - ( 7/10 ) could be a little more salty. Sauce was tasty and the bun was crunchy and fluffy PASTRAMI SMOKED SALMON - $21 ( 7/10 ) DELIICOUS! The cream cheese salmon combo was refreshing and perfect for people who like salmon and cheese. It could use a bit more capers but loved the sandwhich version of a lox bagel. SOLVANG HOT CHICKEN - $22 ( 7/10 ) Very soft chicken was juicy and the batter was crispy. Was dripping with a bit of oil. It comes in no spicy, side spice, and light spice. read more

Love having lunch here whenever in Solvang. We came here with my family, ten of us and had a great lunch. The service is friendly and helpful. The food was as amazing as always. The grilled cheese with tomato soup is a must try. The ambiance is nice specially outdoor seating area. Everyone loved what they ordered and said it was amazing. read more

Great service! I'd like to come back here and try other things, noteably the chicken sandwich which seems like the thing to get! Opted for a burger, and though it was good - it just felt lackluster. My beau called his salad "boring" which is a first (as he is the healthiest eater I know). They gave us a great seat with little room to spare for closing so that was very nice of them. Love the atmosphere. Felt very homey and comfortable. read more

If you were to tell me that I'd visit Solvang twice in a year I'd say "yeah right". If you added that I'd also be dining at Peasant FEAST both those times I'd say "REALLY!!!?" PF is an exceptional restaurant that serves exceptional food. I've only been here twice and the second time was better than the 1st. My only disappointment was that I couldn't get what I got on my 1st visit in February. And ya know what? That's ok. It presented the opportunity to try new things! This time I got at their French dip sandwich with a side of potatoes. OOF! If it's on the menu do try it and wash it down with a cold beer (or wine is nice too). The service was as excellent as the 1st time and the vibe also perfect. The patio area is pet friendly so sure bring your fur baby along (they'll bring out some water for them too!) Overall: Yes there are many fine dining establishments in Solvang to try but I'm telling you...this is the only spot I want to stay true to. Misc: They're closed Mondays and Tuesdays so plan accordingly. Enjoy! read more

You know the food is fantastic when it's great straight out of the fridge the next day. We didn't have reservations here but we were able to walk up and get a seat at the counter even though it was packed that day! Inside of this restaurant is pretty cute but can get a bit noisy since there are so many people inside. We ordered the Copenhagen caesar, Solvang hot chicken sandwich with crispy potatoes, and the mac & cheese with caramelized onions to share. I love a hot chicken sandwich and theirs is absolutely fantastic. The herbs, shredded cabbage, and pickled onions were a great addition to the spicy fried chicken. The crispy potatoes were so good, they held up well the next day as well! I highly recommend getting the caramelized onions added to the mac and cheese. The portion was quite big so we had to take it to go but it was also great to eat cold straight from the fridge. We are definitely coming back again if we are in the area but will try and make a reservation so we can sit outside next time! read more

We came here on a Friday around 1:45pm. We were seated immediately in the patio since we had our dog with us. Not too long after us several groups came and the wait quickly became 30-40 min. Seems like they're busy even on off hours and rightfully so! The solvang chicken sandwich was so juicy and tender! I'd def come back for that. The ambience inside and outside had such a cozy vibe to it. read more

Every time we go to Solvang we have to go to peasants feast at least a couple times. The food is always delicious and beautifully presented. My favorite is the mushroom tacos but everything is excellent. If you are lucky to be there on a day they have fish tacos or mussels you are in for a real treat. Desserts are fabulous too. Service is the best and servers are so friendly and helpful. read more

My favorite restaurant in Solvang has to be our lunch at Peasants Feast, especially with the appearance of the horse drawn carriage from our patio table. The pastrami smoked salmon sandwich does not actually have pastrami but the pastrami spices are present in each bite of the smoked salmon. It worked so well, I wish I didn't have to share but with so much good food, unless my stomach is bigger, sharing allowed me to try more things. I was so happy that we had an option to have a cup of butternut squash soup with that sandwich making it the perfect soup and sandwich combo. The shaved Brussel Sprouts salad is so addictive that I couldn't stop eating it and was a great way to get more veggies in our diet. Even though I over ordered to try everything I wanted, shaved Brussels Sprouts salad, halibut tacos and pastrami smoked salmon sandwich with a cup of butternut squash soup, I regretted not coming back for dinner to have it all over again. read more

If you're in Solvang, this place is a MUST! I came here for lunch right when it opened at 11am on a weekday and within 11:30am the place was already getting packed. The chicken sandwich would be my favorite entree of the 3 entrees I tried. My table ordered a different item on the menu with a different side so we could sample and share everything. I really liked the corn soup. French dip was good but it personally wasn't my favorite. I'm also normally not a key lime pie person but I read the reviews and it convinced me to try it. It was a good balance of sweet and sour ratio as well as balanced texture. The top reminded me of a toasted marshmallow. If I ever do come back to Solvang, I'll be sure to come back here and try the grilled cheese. I also wanted to try the Mac and cheese but we had already ordered too much. So until next time.... read more

This place is right downtown and has a lovely patio and dining area, and is always popular, so when I saw a chance for a late lunch without crowds, I jumped into action - and I'm glad I did! For my first visit, I am now a fan. The ambiance is nice and comfortable, with lots of natural light. I was quickly seated by a large window that looked out onto an area with tables for a bakery next door. Ideas for dessert? The menu is varied enough for folks, and I focused on the Gold Coast Grilled Cheese sandwich (sharp cheddar, gruyere, mozzarella, caramelized onions, parmesan crisp, The Baker's Table pain au levain vegetarian) with a choice of sides. I had also noticed a new offering, a creamy Fennel soup with local olive oil, and toasted almonds. I choose a cup of that soup for a side. The sandwich and soup came together, and the soup was steamy hot - literally! The sandwich has a side served up with grilled parmesan cheese, and the opposite side (or flip side, as I want to say) has the traditional grilled look. I have photos of both sides here. The soup was indeed creamy, and at one point I was trying to figure out how to answer someone who asks, "What does it taste like?" And I still don't have an answer. However, it does have a slight herbal licorice taste, but not at all overwhelming, and if you don't eat licorice, you may notice it but not be able to place it. However, if you don't like licorice, I think you would still enjoy this soup, as the flavor is very subtle. It was extremely delicious. The sandwich, with the parmesan crisp and mixed cheeses, was very cheesy, and I loved that. Overall, the food was outstanding and the service wonderful, with water refills on cue and quick service for ordering and closing out the bill. My server, Maggie, was top notch - thank you! If you are in Solvang and want a quality meal at a decent price (for Solvang) come here, and if they are less busy than usual, all the better! read more

came to peasants feast after watching a number of TikToks rave about this place. overall verdict: it was definitely worth the try! I was scared I'd leave a hungry but their portions are decent. just beware, the plates are on the pricier side. love how they use local ingredients though my favorite bite was the spicy chicken sandwich but the mac n cheese was also very unique and the salmon pastrami sandwich was stuffed with lox and bussing out the seams with cream cheese. We waited ~20-35 mins to be sat, but solvang offers a variety of shops and bakeries to explore in the meantime so all was well. read more

Very disappointed with our experience. We visited yesterday for lunch while hosting a friend from out of town and were really looking forward to eating here. We ordered the spicy chicken and knew it would be hot, but it was extremely spicy to the point of being almost unbearable. The restaurant should provide a clearer warning about just how hot it is. More seriously, two of us became very sick afterward. One person ended up in the ER and another had to go to urgent care, and we spent the night dealing with this. Given the high prices, we expected much better quality and certainly not an experience that left us sick. Very disappointing and not an experience we would want to repeat. 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

This place is actually super delicious. I decided to write a review because of how good the food was. I ordered a basic chicken sandwich with potatoes, and the sauce was delicious. The potatoes were so crunchy and soft on the inside with the right amount of salt, and the sandwich was above and beyond. Even though my order was so simple, it was so delicious. It's also really cute inside, and we sat outside where it was super clean and really pretty. They also had really good iced coffee. I really enjoyed my visit to Solvang and the delicious brunch that we had. read more

What an amazing spot! Was in town for a few hours and stumbled upon a friend's recommendation for Peasants Feast. Michelin bib gourmand for a good reason! I got the hot chicken sandwich and WOW. Chicken was perfectly fried and seasoned and the added cabbage and herbs made it feel so fresh and light. 10/10 recommend the sandwich. My parents got the grilled cheese, also delicious but still cannot get over the chicken sandwich. Got the frozen lime pie dessert and also was delicious. Interior is very cute and cozy and they have outdoor seating as well. Staff was very friendly. Will definitely be back if I'm ever in the area again. 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

wonderful restaurant that deserves its spot on the michelin guide! everything was well worth the money and sitting through the heat for. you can find lots of public lots/street parking nearby! we came around 1:00pm as a table of 5 and beat the late lunch rush so we had no wait (to sit outside). some of the chairs do burn up if they're not in the shade so beware if you're wearing shorts or a skirt. we ordered three of their chicken sandwiches and one burger. i asked for my spice on the side since i didn't know how spicy it'd be, and they were able to accommodate! friends said the burger was the juiciest burger they've ever had, and everyone raved about the buns and the crispy potatoes. the salad was also really solid and helped break up the greasiness well. the chicken sandwich was incredibly juicy and held its crunch well. everything was fantastic! if you're willing to share as a table, i would have half of the people get salads and half get the potatoes. while they are good, the portions of potato are HUGE and we ended up having leftovers too! my one very minor gripe was i think the potatoes needed more salt out the fryer. that's literally it HA i'm okay with it being pricy because the chefs know what they're doing here for realsies. servers were nice as well! would definitely revisit to try something else read more

Came here on a Saturday morning right when they opened We got seated right away. We ordered the hot chicken sandwich w/polenta and a side of carrot ginger soup. The hot chicken sandwhich had just enough spice without it being too spicy. The carrot ginger soup was surprisingly super good!!!! It has the ginger flavor on the back end. It's not very strong. The polenta wasn't too grainy. It was creamy and tasty. Overall, I'd highly recommend checking this place out! Food was delicious and service was great! read more

We had about a 20-minute wait, but it was definitely worth it! The food was fresh and delicious, and the service was great. We tried the pickled olives, baby gem salad, fresh tomato soup, and the kids' grilled cheese sandwich with another serving of soup. The tomato soup was easily the highlight of the meal - so fresh, flavorful, and comforting! One thing for vegetarians to keep in mind: the potatoes are fried in chicken fat/oil, which we were glad they told us about, so we skipped those. Overall, a really enjoyable meal with fresh ingredients and great service. Would definitely recommend, especially for that tomato soup! 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

The Solvang Hot Chicken was well worth the wait! The day before, we tried to get it for dinner, but they were only an hour from closing and the waitlist was already full. After learning our lesson, we stopped by the next day at 11:45 AM for lunch. They put us on the waitlist, and we were seated by noon, which I thought was excellent timing! The staff was attentive and even offered to split our shared sandwich in the back, which was such a nice touch. As for the spice level, I have a pretty high spice tolerance, so I can't speak too much to how spicy it would be for someone with a lower tolerance. For me, though, it was perfect! One thing I wanted to mention is that this is more of a dry-rub-style hot chicken rather than a sauce-heavy version. Despite the dry rub, the chicken itself was incredibly juicy and flavorful. Definitely worth adding to your Solvang food stops! 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!

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
