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

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

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'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

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

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

Truly dog friendly! Enjoyed lunch on the patio with hubs and pup. Staff very attentive to food allergies/aversions - made sure my order was gluten-free. Shared the Brussels salad - would have it again BUT ask for "light cheese". Never thought I'd say this but way too much cheese . Hubs enjoyed the pastrami smoked salmon sandwich. 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

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

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

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

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 walked by this place and so glad we ate there! Amazing service and the food was so good!!!! We got the French dip, the fish sandwich and the hot chicken sandwich.

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

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

Burger good, salmon sandwich def a fave, potatoes great, but the standout was the lemon meringue slice!! I'll come back just for that!!

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

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

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

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

spent a day in Solvang on Saturday and had the best lunch at Peasants Feast!! we waited about 30 minutes for a table, which wasn't bad at all. We sat in the sun and enjoyed the nearby scenery while waited. The service was amazing, staff was great and the food was even better! Highly recommend the Mac & cheese, add carnitas!

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
