This was a great find in Santa Barbara. When we first walked in, the selection of music playing was good. The outside seating was nice as well in the SB weather. The line was a bit long, so if you don’t like waiting about 5-10 minutes to order your food, you best get here a little early. The food was so good. I definitely recommend the tip sandwich and the Tijuana wrap. They also have a good brunch menu as well. Great food, great atmosphere, good service, what else can you ask for? I’m not sure, but I am sure satisfied with this restaurant.

The Shop Kitchen was a new experience. Tucked in a fun neighborhood, we had brunch on the cozy patio. You give your order just before entering, so no wait for a server to get your order.

This is the third time I have come here and it has been consistently delicious. We had the Tugboat and Salmon toast. A mimosa flight and Michelada. Portions are spot on. If your in the area it’s worth finding some parking near by and giving it a try.

Came into town and was looking for something locally owned and found The Shop Kitchen and I am glad that we did! Fresh, unique flavor. We had the chicken, biscuits and gravy. The gravy was to die for. We also got the egg white veggie omelette with potatoes. Unbelievably fresh, great service and the house hit sauce is incredible.

My wife and I split a Tugboat with fried chicken… 45 minutes later we were back and ordered another…

Awesome, fun, outdoors brunch spot pictured is the Tugboat with fried chicken. Absolutely amazing. the chicken was CRISPY on the outside and juicy on the inside. The coffee was fresh, hot, and tasty. We didn’t try the drinks, but a table next to us got the mimosa flight and it looked delicious, will definitely have to try in the future.

We ordered the yolo and the Benedict with carnitas. Food was pretty good. Highlight of the two meals was the fried chicken and biscuit. The gravy from the yolo was a bit under flavored as was the carnitas served with the Benedict. However, they have a really good house hot sauce (not very spicy) that really made the Benedict and carnitas enjoyable.

Very disappointing! Pics and the website design make you think this is a mid-range place. But this is just a fast food place. Heck, even fast food would be hotter than the food served here. I got the tugboat with fried chicken. The food was COLD! You can tell the biscuits(soggy), chicken(hard), and the fries were pre-made a long time ago. Guac-style avocado (menu doesn’t say it’d be guac) wasn’t fresh so it was bitter. Food was very salty. Even poached eggs weren’t hot. At >$25 price-point, I expect hot food. There really are better options out there.

Great breakfast/brunch menu choices that should satisfy just about anyone. Food was great. Had the wheat toast with cured salmon and added avocado and really enjoyed it. Comfortable outdoor patio. I am looking forward to coming back to try more items on the menu.
