Traveling America from Australia for our Wedding and honeymoon and stumbled on this place looking for a drink and something to eat. Great friendly staff, really helpful and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable.

The chicken and ribs were very good. This is a cool place for drinks, food and watch sports.

Update 1/29/23: Unfortunately our $18 chicken burrito with corn, bell pepper, onion, and guacamole had virtually no chicken and zero corn, bell pepper, or onion. They made us a new one but that was 15 minutes later and our friends had already finished. The house salad with nothing but junk lettuce left a lot to be desired too. We’ve had good food here before but today was not one of those days. At least the French fries were good. Sometimes they get in too much of a rush, but we’ll be back again.

Had my high school reunion here, twice. The service was very good. The area was thoughtfully set up, and there was plenty of room to mingle and munch a little. The drinks are very strong. The food is really tasty! They had redecorated in between the reunion events, the new restaurant is pretty and large.

While visiting friends in Santa Barbara they took me to this amazing restaurant and bar. I got a short history lesson on it from the newest owner Dave. Apparently the bar has been in existence for quite a long time and now after an amazing remodel it’s now a family friendly bar restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. It includes plenty of room for small parties. Nighttime entertainment can be enjoyed here weekly. Staff was friendly and helpful. Drinks were delicious and I noticed quite a large array of wines and imported and exported beers. As for the food I chose the creek burger in substitute of the beef for chicken which was delicious. My friends has the French dip and the hickory smoked wings all from a easy to read menu. As with all of my past reviews I will only review a place that I would highly recommend this restaurant definitely fits in that category of a five-star recommendation from this traveler.

I just visited The Creekside Restaurant on Saturday June 19, 2021. This place is very nice and the staff is very friendly . It’s a great place to take your family and friends and have a great time. It’s a down to earth place. The food is good and the price is good as well. You can dress casual.

Our friends took us there and it was a very enjoyable experience. Very casual and laid-back. We ate outside on the patio which is very large. We were all hungry and when our food arrived, we dove in and I didn’t get pics. My hubby and I shared a small Napa Apple Salad which was not that small and very good. Our friends ordered the BBQ Ribs with Grilled Corn on the Cob, Baked Beans, Coleslaw and a Dinner Roll. My husband and I ordered and shared the Grilled Salmon with Lemon Herb Sauce, Coleslaw, Baked Beans, French Fries and a Dinner Roll. All of our foods were well prepared, served hot and made our taste buds very happy. The only negative was the bartender. One of our friends ordered a margarita and it was small, full of ice and weak. He took it back to get it remade with smaller amount of ice and the bartender would not accommodate him. Said he’d been bartending for 23 years and he made a good margarita, definitely full of himself and isn’t the customer always right? My friend had me taste it and I had to agree with him, it was not good The overall experience was good other than the drink issue.

Nice venue for a high school graduation celebration. Nice buffet with tasty variety of meat and salads. Heaters rooks chill off the evening. Plenty of parking.

Good food, ambiance was ok. Tents on pavement do not make for a nice atmosphere.

Food is okay. I liked it better when there was country night on Wednesdays. They cut it after the pandemic and considering their whole theme is country, I don’t understand why they wouldn’t lean into their own schtick. Not really a good money move considering
