The vibes are impeccable here! Such a magical hidden gem
The vibes are impeccable here! Such a magical hidden gem between Santa Barbara and Solvang/ Santa Ynez! There is a bar, a restaurant and a little gift shop, but no parking so you will need to park on the sides of the road. We didn't have a hard time finding parking though because we got there as soon as it opened. However, there were already lots of people there so get there early if you can. As for the food, the onion rings were delicious and we loved the service and our server. The only reason that I didn't give full stars is because we are huge bbq fans and the baby back ribs and the cold springs sandwich were okay but nothing to die for in our book for the $70 meal we had. We definitely plan to go back and just get the $10 tri tip sandwich instead of sitting and ordering in the restaurant since the location is unmatched. I would still highly recommend this place!

I felt like I walked on to the set of Wild, Wild, West. There was live music, BBQ, and cowboy hats galore. Everyone was so inviting and friendly. I enjoyed a beer at the bar then went next door to order food. You can't go wrong with the famous tri tip sandwich! But a surprisingly favorite of mine ended up being the grilled cheese with bacon jam. I know that sounds plain but when I say this was the yummiest grilled cheese ever, you gotta believe me! The vibe was great, the views were spectacular, and service was amazing! My server Grant had us laughing the whole time. Seriously, Grant better be doing stand up comedy somewhere. He also recommended the grilled cheese, which I was grateful for. Plus, there's more than just food here! You can walk around and check out the views, there were a couple of water falls. And a tourist shop, which explained the history of the tavern

Be the first to ReplyBest spot around! Always recommend to anyone passing by.
Lines out the door but always worth the wait
Be the first to Replythe potential for the vibes at this establishment.
.. astronomical. tucked away in the mountains with a running little creek next door and a historically and cozily decorated tavern.....it is perfect for visiting with old friends or loved ones. romantic fireplaces set the scene for a date night. so why not 5 stars? well I said there was potential.....not fufilment. there is no music so the place is oddly silent and despite reservations being required, they didn't pick up all 7 times I called and the voicemail was full. once we were there we had multiple different workers come over with minutes of eachother to ask us the exact same question. I think a little team meeting / management rearrangement would take this place FAR.As for the food, the onions rings are incredible. Please, if you get one thing let it be this. Look at that ranch like it's a swimming pool basically. the salads (not pictured) are a great quantity so a good bang for your buckmy friends split the tri tip platter and were full off the half portion so that's a good idea for y'all. horse radish is not very pungent for those who may care the catch of the day was a salmon that was delectable!garlic mash side could have more garlic flavoryou get bread when seated that's yummy but butter was slightly cold

Man, the vibe here was infectious and I couldn't help but to be stoked!Located in the rolling hills of Santa Barbara, down a small windy road, just in between Solvang/Santa Ynez and Santa Barbara proper. 3 small ooooolllddd cabins (bar, restaurant, & gift shop) in the middle of tall trees next to a creek! There's no parking, so be prepared to parallel park along a steep, dirt hill! Came on a weekend and it was POPPING! This is when they've got their grills out and they're serving up tri-tip sandwiches outside! The tri-tip was AWESOME, best tri-tip Sammy I've ever had! Simple meat, in a roll, and throw in your own bbq sauce and horse radish. Everyone up there, from locals to travelers, were in a good mood. Music was playing, air was crisp and food was delicious!Didn't do the full service restaurant, but will definitely try to make it one day. This was a highlight of our trip up the central coast!

What a gem. Cutest and coziest place I been. Live music and great ambiance. Food and drinks are delicious and staff are friendly. We will definitely come again anytime we are around here.

Rainy days at this historic stagecoach stop restaurant are always memorable. A blonde beer in the tavern (yes, I like brunettes too ) followed with a lunch/dinner at the restaurant will make any patron wanting to return. Their garden salad with ranch is fresh (good ranch!), a bowl of the sirloin chili (three styles of chili offered along with a tasting of the three) ending with the traditional tri-tip sandwich with bar-b-q sauce, salsa and apple horseradish sauce is delicious! You will find yourself returning for years to come....
Be the first to ReplyBest tri tip.
Best onion rings. But bring your sweater and sit/order outside. And don't forget to try the chili sampler
Be the first to ReplyIncredible location, great live music and delicious chili.
:) Definitely worth a stop if your out around wine country on the 154. This place is a gem.

Arrived early on Saturday at 11:40am and there's already a 20 minutes wait for table service. The service is good and the tri-tip french dip sandwich is delicious with hearty portion of perfectly cooked tri-tip. Worth a stop while visiting between Solvang and Santa Barbara.
Be the first to ReplyOmg!!!!! I would come to this place again and again.
We got here around opening on Saturday morning and there was already people waiting. I can see why. I didn't know you could make reservations, I'd do that next time. Their food is freaking incredible. I loved their Chicken Chili. It hit the spot on a cold morning. Luckily, although we were sitting outside, there are heaters. As for drinks, I tried their Hot Apple Cider which was awesome. Now for the star of the show: the Bar-B-Q Ribs were to die for. They were fall off the bone and the sauce was amazing. The flavor and tenderness were just incredible. Also a close runner up, also mouth-watering was the Tri-Tip sandwich. They provide salsa, horseradish, and bar-b-q sauce on the side. Use all these and it will be *chefs kisses*. I'm still dreaming about their food. Oh, did I forget to mention the fries? The fries are incredible. Top 3 fries I have had in my life, and I've had a lot of fries. Food came out pretty quickly as well, and our server was really sweet. Don't walk, RUN here!!!!
Be the first to ReplyNeat place to eat in the middle of nowhere.
Their famous tri tip sandwich was on the tough side. Ribs and onion rings were good. I'd go again if in the area, in fact, have been twice.
Be the first to ReplyLove this place ever since I saw it featured on
Love this place ever since I saw it featured on California's Gold. After a long drive from Los Angeles, this spot is the best to have a hearty meal. The smell of firewood and smoked meat while the sound of the birds and trees is simply perfect. And dont miss going in the summertime... they have live music playing. Love it!
Be the first to ReplyGreat atmosphere, great food, and the air smells like
Great atmosphere, great food, and the air smells like barbecue! Definitely worth the drive out, and cannot beat the views on the way!
Be the first to ReplyGreat atmosphere! A hidden gem in the mountains.
We had tri-tip sandwich was good. A nice stop on our way to Los Olivios.

On the advice of a friend, my wife and I went to Cold Spring Tavern for lunch, a hidden gem off Highway 154. Great food and a wonderful assortment of craft beers. I had the best BBQ beef sandwich and my wifebhad the beef dip which was absolutely loaded with a thick layer of thinly sliced beef. We met the owner, Debbie and a very nice employee named Donna who were kind and welcoming. Our server Ashley did a great job also. We highly recommend this venue if your in the area.
Be the first to ReplyWe have been coming to this restaurant for years.
A favorite for locals and tourists, the rustic charm and good food keep us coming back.
Be the first to ReplyDefinetley a must.
Food and service was top notch. Arrived about 12:00p.m on a Sunday afternoon and was already busy.
Be the first to ReplyLook, staff and crew are legit.
This place is iconic...a local favorite. Can't be beat. Buuut the one star is for whoever came in and turned the place upside down. The whole new set up / table service/ tri tip Sunday is an absolute disaster and turning off one local after another. Word of mouth is a killer. Hopefully, management can get a handle on this thing before one local after the next starts piping up. Took me about 45 to 50 minutes just to get a sandwich, onion rings and a soda water. Had to go to three different places for that order!!! Seriously, what happened??? It wasn't broken. Someone in management has seriously miscalculated and the Cold Spring Tavern vibe / experience has suffered tremendously. WTF?!!!

. the drive is up there is very peaceful! Parking is a little tough so be patient while driving. The onion rings are a must!

They need to update their sandwiches in the shape of the meat and put some flavor in it not worth the drive
Be the first to ReplyNow this is an interesting place to go on adventure to for
Now this is an interesting place to go on adventure to for lunch. We went in a foggy day which was a little nerve wracking for me driving up the mountain, but it was definitely worth it to see this place that looks like it's straight out of a story book. We got there at 11:30-am, right when they opened on a Saturday and had about a 10-15 minute wait. We sat inside since it was cold out and we're comfortable in there. The tri tip sandwich is a must. Really well cooked and well seasoned meat with a few different sauce options. Fries were nice and crispy, onion rings were huge. If you have a chance to go here, do it! A nice little side trip while in Santa Barbara.
Be the first to ReplyA historic gem hidden up in the mountains of Santa Barbara .
.. a do not miss especially on a lazy weekend .... Head on up for a great BBQ TRI TIP ย trip Sammie with killer horseradish sauce & onion rings. Eat inside the restaurant or order outside & listen to the awesome live music. The bar is great & if it's cold outside you can cozy up by the wonderful fireplace .
Be the first to ReplyThis was such a cute hole in the ~mountain~ spot! The vibes
This was such a cute hole in the ~mountain~ spot! The vibes are amazing, especially with the live music. It really makes you feel like you're not in California. I recommend skipping the restaurant and just getting the tri-tip sandwich (if the sandwich is all you want to try). Not only do you get your food super quickly, but you can also sit wherever you want! I HIGHLY recommend putting their apple horseradish on it...it was amazinggg! They also have a great selection of beer. I loved their Tangerine Ale, but many of the locals also recommended any of their IPAs if you like hoppy beers. Make sure to stop by if you're going through Santa Barbara!
