Good Eating above Goleta?? [moved from Los Angeles board]

[sehparks]

Any suggestions on a great place for lunch above Goleta? We heading out of LA and will be up there around lunch time...any suggestions?

[toodie jane]

depends on how far above Goleta, or when you get hungry, I suppose!

Snakish is correct, just rolling hills, no towns between Goleta and Buellton. Beautiful!

If you need more info about this area, here are some ideas from a past thread:

Chef Rick's in Orcutt , 3-4 min from 101, would be fantastic. California fusion with a cajun heartbeat. About 15 min north of Buellton.

Try the Firestone brewery in Buellton. Nice food. Lots of choices at Solvang. Nothing much after Goleta until Buellton.

There isn't anything - no businesses - between Goleta and Buellton. It is one of the great unspoiled stretches of California coastline.

Detour out to Jalama Beach for their famous hamburgers?

That is such a great detour! Wonder what that road would be like in a big winter storm?

We should be so lucky to have a "big winter storm" -- we need rain! ;-)

That big Brewery in Buellton........I forget the name of it.

Or Cold Springs Tavern is JUST above Goleta on the 154.
