Reviews for Garrett's Old Fashioned

06/08/2025 - Marlon O.
This small, old-fashioned diner serves solid, home-style breakfast dishes like eggs, pancakes, bacon, and hash browns with quick and friendly service. The food is flavorful and satisfying, with highlights including a delicious breakfast burrito and a must-try Monte Cristo sandwich, all served by attentive staff such as the warm and efficient waitress Amy. While the ambiance is basic and the decor dated, the prices are reasonable, the bathrooms are clean, and the overall experience feels welcoming and genuine.

Great old diner style restaurant. Santa Barbara doesn't have places like this anymore and that's the real crime. The food is so good and it is actually affordable - unlike most SB restaurants. I love this place.

Garrett's is a quality diner style restaurant with fresh food, tasty dishes, quality service, and most of all...excellent prices! You can not beat the price. You get wonderful American style food for less than $10. All the employees at Garrett's give customers quality service and care. I love this place.

Dear readers,
I recently went to this restaurant and I was not disappointed. The food is absolutely delicious and satisfies your breakfast/lunch cravings. It's American style food and the service is great. This place is definitely worth the drive. It's really cheap quality food. I only paid $8 for my whole meal.
