Always consistent with their food and service. The fried cauliflower bites are really good and have a very good cali burrito. Nice for a groups lots of outdoor large tables. Kid friendly with a couple arcade games. read more

We have eaten here at Rincon Brewing at least 8 times in the last 2 years. The beer, ambiance and food has always been great. Today we ate here again with 11 friends. The beer was good and the service was super as usual, however several of us had food items that came from the-deep fat fryer and it all was terrible. If you have ever operated a restaurant or worked in the kitchen of an Elks lodge kitchen, you know when the oil in the fryer needs to be changed or when something has been burned recently in that oil. Well, today was that day. My Chicken Sandwich and the Onion Rings as well as our friend's French Fries, all tasted bad. It is a shame as the batter on the Chicken Sandwich was so perfect, except for the taste. As is usual, our server was great, the ambiance, always warm and accommodating. Thank you Rincon Brewing for offering us a replacement or refund which I took. I'm confident that next time, the fryer food will be just as good as it has been in the past. read more

I have wanted so badly for this to be my neighborhood bar but the bartenders are so unfriendly... Or have no personality. Kind of feels like no one wants to be working there. Very disappointing. read more

It's been a while since our last visit, but was gifted a gift card and decided to utilize it after a long day of activities. The good, the good has always been consistent and good. Today I had a craving for soup and salad so I got a bowl of chowder which was creamy and surprisingly packed full of clams. Normally I'm not a fan of bacon in chowder because it over powers the flavor but it was surprisingly mild. The salad was a flavor bomb with all the ingredients to them point that I didn't add dressing. The down Achilles heal at the place has always been the service. It's so hit or miss, and I'm not sure if it's because sometimes you order everything at the bar and sometimes you get a server and there's no rhyme or reason. We sat for a while before someone asked if we've been helped and he had to go talk to the server team. After we waited for 15 mins for someone to finally check us out. Everyone was friendly it was just longgggg periods between any kind of check in. I will shout out the young man seating and help bus tables he was on top of his duties! read more

My family and I visited Rincon Brewery last weekend. It's a family-friendly restaurant, and we noticed many families eating there. My husband liked the extensive beer selection. He opted for a flight of different beers and particularly enjoyed the La Reina Mexican lager and Merrick American lager. Since I don't drink beer frequently, I chose a Rose fruit cider and a glass of wine. The brewery's location is quite spacious! They have many tables both indoors and outdoors. I particularly liked the artwork displayed throughout the brewery. It's a beautiful place with a simple atmosphere. Another great aspect of their location is the open, bright, and spacious layout. The service was excellent! Our waiter was attentive and recommended a couple of beers to my husband, who was undecided about what to try. It's an ideal spot for lunch and a few drinks! read more

Delicious beer and food! Great place for anyone with kids the staff are so friendly and the service is great! Highly recommend

This was our first visit to the Ventura location and it did not disappoint! We've always gone to the Carpenteria location. Plenty of parking here, large restaurant and patio too! We sat outside and the heat lamps worked great! Service was friendly and the food was awesome! Loved the fried cauliflower appetizer so good! As were our burgers and beers! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

I took the train from Simi Valley to SB on a Saturday with my family. We walked around SB, went to the zoo & came here for a cold brew and food. It sure was delicious. It as a suggested spot from my uncle and aunt who are frequently visiting SB. I ordered a Dos Arboles and a double smash burger with lettuce, grilled onions and avocados + garlic parmesan fries 10/10!!! Service was great. Staff were friendly. I'd definitely come back again. read more

Walking in you can see there are lots of places to sit, both inside and outside. It was very busy when we walked in so when greeted by the host they gave us the option of where to sit and we opted for the bigger tables near the games. They had a live performance playing guitar and singing inside so it was very loud and hard to hear. But after the performance was finished we were able to have a conversation at our table. Service was good. You have to walk up to the counter and order food and drinks. The Michelada was good, I enjoyed it and so was the food. Overall a decent experience. read more

After my mediocre burger experience last time I was a bit hesitant on what to order when dining at Rincon today for a gathering. I opted for the asada quesadilla and could not have made a better choice. It was filling and delicious and came with a good portion of steak inside. It was $17 but I paid a $3 upcharge to get sweet potato fries instead of the chips and salsa it comes with and it was worth it - love their sweet potato fries. Service was very attentive today overall and the server was patient with our large group. Definitely feel better about returning again in the future. My friend sitting next to me ordered the blackened shrimp tacos and said she really enjoyed them. read more

We recently have been eating out a lot. Rincon Brewery is located conveniently near the dog park and is a great choice because it's dog-friendly and serves up flavorful food. Rincon stood out this afternoon because our server was so nice and helpful. Most importantly we split the tri-tip sandwich Santa Maria style and it was a flavor bomb. The tri-tip was perfectly seasoned and cooked so it was tender and served with grilled onions and fresh pico with cheddar cheese. Honestly, it didn't even need the cheese. For sides, my hubby loves their onion rings so that's a must and we ordered the garlic fries with the Sando. We also ordered the single beef patty as a treat for our fur baby. We've had the chicken sandwich and the various burgers in our past visits and it's all been consistently good. I think I like their food better at the Ventura location in comparison to Carpinteria. And the beer selection and seltzers are a bonus! read more

Always love coming here when we're in town! The food is amazing the drinks are good and the vibes are chill. Oh & you can bring your dogs so that's a plus too! Sitting on the patio on a beautiful summer day drinking a beer with a smash burger and some fries.. what more could you want? The service really depends on who is serving but we have usually had a good experience! Don't miss this one when you're in town! read more

I tried to their locations. Ventura, and Carpinteria. Both were very good. Beer is fresh and amazing. The first time we were there we had salads and tri tip sandwich. Both were solid. The second time we were there we had Smashburger and tri tip tacos. The tacos were just mediocre. Lots of lettuce very little meat. It's nice that they have indoor and outdoor seating. If the weather is nice, and the heaters are on, you can sit outside and really enjoy yourself. Restaurant seems to be clean, and the staff is extremely friendly and attentive read more

2nd time I've gone with our family and left because of the lack of service. Stood at the end of the bar to order for at least 10-12 minutes and no one would come over to help. No one would even acknowledge we were there. 5-6 workers walked by me multiple times and said nothing. Service has never been great, but this was bad. Trying to support our neighborhood spot, but their staff doesn't seem to care. Ended up going to La Parilla up the street. read more

A little disappointed the direction this place has gone. Their new menu seems to nickle and dime. Burgers should come with fries or a side salad, or chips. Instead you have to pay 2.50 for fries (in had 8 fries on the side of my burger, when I ordered the 2.50 cent upgrade.) Food quality seems to be down a bit than in the past as well. They had one or two servers for the entire restaurant. Ambiance is still enjoyable, but it'll be a while before I go back if I do read more

Came to Rincon for a business meeting and had an amazing salad! I love the open air feeling at Rincon! It's so clean inside, lots of room for parties or meetings. The service is great too!

I ordered the chicken milanese sandwich, accompanied by a guactober beer, and a beached. There was so much flavor in the sandwich that it didn't need the side of ranch but also didn't hurt to put some it. The service was spectacular they didn't rush us at all from the moment we got there until they closed. It's pretty lively even at night close to closing hours. read more

1st time here, interesting menu with alot of things I want to try so I will be back. Had the beet and quinoa salad with grilled chicken, it was delicious, fresh, large portion. My BF had the tritip sandwich and was disappointed (not sure why). The cauliflower bites and fried dill pickle chips were delish! My server wasn't good, failed to come sell a 2nd round or dessert. The Mgr was great and came over immediately to help. Live music was nice, cool vibe. Ill be back to try more of the menu. read more

The beer selection and chill ambiance are great. The food is always consistently MEH to POOR. The food could be incredible...reduce the menu and do 10 things extremely well. The salads have no flavor, the Mac n cheese is pasta with a spoonful of something dumped on top (gross). I am not sure if the chefs don't care or this is the level the restaurant set for the kitchen. I can't tell why the food is subpar all the time. I truly wish the food here would rock but after so many meals here and seeing how everyone else's meals come out I am pretty sure it just won't change :( I'll stick to beer and fries and tell guests don't expect much from the food. read more

Well, I asked if their Smash Burgers are as good as Third Window in SB, he said they are great. Well in about 5 minutes my meal arrived. This is a weak attempt at a Smash Burger, I said go to Third Window and get the real deal. Meat was flavorless, no crispness to it, and to top it, the fries were barely cooked. I guess I will stick to their Cuban. Last time I try a smash burger anywhere. read more

Went in for the first time on a weekday dinner date. I like that the environment is so open and airy that even sitting inside we were able to enjoy the breeze. I don't drink beer but my date did, he was satisfied with the bar flight he chose. Food-wise, it is a typical bar food menu with plenty of appetizers and burgers/sandwiches. We ordered the cauliflower wings and beer cheese w/ pretzels for appetizers and I had a jalapeno sourdough burger. Everything tasted good, nothing spectacular but definitely not bad by any means. The service left much to be desired, every worker that we encountered had the personality of a stick. I don't need my waiter to be overly outgoing, but having an "I don't want to be here" attitude in what is supposed to be a fun brewery ruined it a bit. All in all, its a decent place but I'm not sure if I'd return since there are plenty of other similar options all around the 805. read more

My husband and I came here for a quick lunch. Food was really good. He has been here before but its my first time here and I really enjoyed it. We had the Chicken Milanese and Tri-Tip Sandwich. It was plenty and tasty! He likes their Tri Tip and its also good. The only thing is that their cup was not clean. It had lipstick on it and its disgusting. I asked for a to go cup. Other than that, I liked their food, seating area and plenty of food options. read more

The food and beer are amazing for a brewery. We have visited the brewery 4-5 times and we have never been disappointed.

Excellent staff, great smash burgers. Super cool custom wood tables great for accommodating large groups. Highly recommend.

Food was good, the service was great but experience was ruined by a group who brought at least ten small children who were running around yelling while their moms stood behind our table loudly talking. One mom even gave them an inflatable ball to kick around our table while they waited for more families to show up. read more

The first thing you will notice about this place is that they have limited parking. Pro tip - the liquor store next door allows for Rincon guest parking. The second thing you will notice is that while they ask for you to wait before seating there is no one there to seat you. It took about 10 minutes before someone came along to seat us. Keep in mind this was mid day Sunday so it wasn't exactly packed. Nevertheless, once seated our waitress was very attentive. Placed our drink orders and we were off to the races. Order the cauliflower and dill pickles as appetizers. Both were very good. Then ordered the blue cheese burger and the tritip tacos. The burger was good but the tacos were meh. Without question the beer was great! In terms of ambiance pretty cool chill Ventura vibe. Very casual and family friendly. Even the doggos are welcome to hang out! All in all, a very good experience. The only cons were the parking, slow seating and prices were a little steep. If you're out in Ventura and want to grab a few cold ones while chilling outside Rincon offers a chill family friendly place to hang. read more

So glad we decided to get out the house today and visit Rincon Brewery. This was our first time here. Loves the outdoor patio. Tables were spaced out well...and the kids were able to play in the sand. Definitely kept them occupied. We tried the Cobb salad (I think this was the best Cobb salad I've had in the 805) the hot wings(standard, flavorful, and good) the kids plates were devoured. There's plenty of parking on the lot. Be sure that when you open a tab, you don't forget your card there, or a 20% gratuity will automatically be charged to your card! This wasn't the case for us, but I did see a sign at the register. The wait staff was very friendly and the food came out fast and hot! read more

This was our second stop on a brewery crawl and after a long day in the car we were all pretty hungry. We tried several of their IPAs which were all decent but nothing spectacular. The server was very friendly and even let me switch out the meat to a veggie patty on the happy hour menu which was very nice. We also got the wings which were again- decent but nothing to come back for. There weren't too many people which is expected for a thursday mid afternoon but there is a huge space with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Its a nice place to stop by if you are in the area with some decent food and nice selection and variety of local beer read more
