Far Western Tavern — Restaurant in Orcutt

We decided to dine here with my 7 year old son just him and I. I had just gotten off of my work shift and was not looking fancy or anything special and neither was he. Walking in I felt a little akward by the look the greeter gave me, Im guessing due to our appearance, but i decided to proceed to dine because the next girl was much nicer. We got sat and our waitress was pleasantly much more friendly. They began serving our appetizers but Our main food was taking a while so my son and I got up to go use the restroom, we asked a nearby waitress to direct us in the direction of it and proceeded to go. When we came back out of the restroom they had completely removed our table and setting and belongings that were left there before using the restroom. The girl that initially sat us looked at me and stated they needed to move us because a much larger party was coming in and they needed our space. She did not apologize and neither did any of the 3 helping her rearrange things. I was extremely upset. Even my 7 year old said it was not right for them to move us and our things without warning. I waited for my waitress and explained to her my frustration. She apologized repeatedly and offered a dessert on the house. After that experience the least thing i wanted was to spend more time there. The rest of the waitresses who physically moved our things said no apologies and nothing further was done to ease my frustration. NEVER have I been treated so poorly and made to feel as if my paying money was nowhere worth the larger parties money. If they would have spoke to me about the relocation i would have understood, but the way everything played out was very tasteless, and this is not a fastfood or...

I really don’t like writing bad reviews. But, I’ll start with a positive. My steak was cooked as ordered and was very good. Beyond that, our meal wasn’t a positive experience. The restaurant was extremely noisy. (and I mean really noisy.) We were told that a wedding reception was going on upstairs - and that may have been the case - but it was impossible to carry on a conversation across the table. Everyone in the restaurant seemed to be shouting in order to be heard - and that didn’t make it better. The service was also not good. I’m sure it was due to COVID and not having enough servers, but it just wasn’t acceptable for this type of restaurant. Our server was probably waiting on at least 10 tables. Try as she might, she just couldn’t do a good job with that many to take care of. My wife ordered baby back ribs. They were far from “fall off the bone”. They seemed pretty tough, and I’m not sure they were fully cooked. But, since no one came by to see if all was OK with our meals, we just let it go. I wish you luck if you dine at this restaurant. We were just visiting the area, and we hoped that the reviews were accurate. Unfortunately, in our case, they were not. We will not...

I frequently travel to California for work, and until now, I hadn’t found a restaurant that truly stood out—until I discovered this incredible gem! From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the building’s stunning architecture and beautifully curated decor. You can tell that every detail has been thoughtfully designed to create a cohesive and welcoming atmosphere.

The food? Absolutely phenomenal. It’s hands down the best I’ve had in the area. The steak was cooked to perfection, the mac and cheese was heavenly—rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor—and the wide selection of drinks ensured there was something for everyone. The variety and quality of the menu are unmatched.

The staff was equally impressive—friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making the dining experience exceptional. I honestly can’t say enough positive things about this restaurant. It’s clear that passion and care go into every aspect of it.

I’m already looking forward to my next visit when I’m back in the area. This place has truly set the bar high for the local dining...
