Very impressed with this restaurant. We had a party of 12 arrive unannounced and we’re given immediate seating. The two more arrived and no problem, they happily arranged us all to be together. The food was great, large portions and flavorful. I had the shrimp cocktail, which was nothing as I expected. I just wasn’t familiar with the dish as it was served. Wonderful! Our server took wonderful care of us. She worked alone, was efficient, prompt and professional. She accommodated our needs beautifully! I do t live in the area, otherwise, id eat here regularly. Thanks for a great evening!

This was a delightful little bar in the Santa Maria Airport with great service. Brianna the manager was more than helpful and a genuine person. The prices were very reasonable for an airport with a full bar.

Been coming here since I was a kid. Never had the white chicken enchiladas until recently and I must say they have the best white sauce I’ve ever had! Definitely a must try if you’re ever at the Santa Maria Airport. The staff is really helpful as well.
