"We stopped here for a late lunch on a Monday. It was not crowded and they have a fully covered outdoor patio with heaters that is dog friendly. You order your food at a counter and they give you a number for your table. My husband had the grilled salmon sandwich and really enjoyed it. The brussel sprouts were really good crispy with bacon and honey. The sweet potato fries were good and came with a Sriracha ketchup. I would get both items again. The churros were OK. They were fresh but I have had better fresh churros. You get a lot of pieces with one order and it comes with two dipping sauces. The staff was very friendly and the service was quick. They even brought out a water bowl for our dog. Overall, we were very happy with the food and service."

Good food, relaxed environment and very friendly staff. We were visiting Santa Barbara for a couple of days and had lunch at Benchmark Eatery on both days. Try their Sesame Salmon Salad, Fish and Chips and Caesar Salad. Nachos are good too.

We stopped by for dinner eats after the museum. It’s right across the street. I enjoyed the Benchmark chopped salad and a tasty Sangria. My wife enjoyed pozole soup and salad. I took some menu pictures since I didn’t find any recent ones in the App. Enjoy

Surprisingly very good! Walking around SB and wanted to eat a light/light-ish lunch. We came across this busy joint. Place was easy going and the seating outside was breezy for a sunny day. We enjoyed their pozole soup, calamari, shrimp kale salad and pesto pasta. View menu

The other restaurant we went to was closed, so we ended up here. It was meant to be! The pozole verde with added carnitas was delicious! I've had a lot of pozole in my life but never a green one. It was amazing! This soup literally cured my hangover! I felt like a whole new person afterwards!
