Happy Cat Eats — Restaurant in Santa Barbara

If the side for a meal is the choice between French fries or salad. I choose salad. Even though I distinctly remember at 9 years old, with a small, hot bag of McDonalds fries in my hands, standing under the famous Golden arches, saying to my Daddy, when I grow up I'm going to work at McDonalds. Explaining I could have fries every day. I loved them so much they would be gone before a grease stain could appear on the paper bag. Now that I'm more than grown up, I mostly choose healthy foods over what my 9 year old self would select. Except when I'm at the beach-side restaurant Happy Cat Eats. Folks, listen, you haven't had a French fry until you've had theirs. I don't know the process for cooking these fried delectable potatoes. But it almost seems like they're dipped in batter and fried.

5 stars across the board. Food was delicious with a nice variety to choose from. We had the fish tacos and fish sandwich with a side of quac which was chef’s kiss! They have iced coffees which was a huge plus for us. The girl who took our order was so kind and helpful and the gentleman working with her who delivered our food was also very nice. Super casual spot where you order at the counter and enjoy sitting outdoors across from the beach. The cherry on the top is we were traveling with our toddler and this was the ideal set up. Outdoor seating, kid’s menu items and drinks, but also regular menu items that can appeal to both kids and adults. Great find for us and we will most certainly be back! Thank you...

Went for the 1st during a week day and it wasn't busy at all. Waitress recommend the smash burger and the boa chicken tacos and both were BOMB 💣 😋 👌 the offer outdoor seating with umbrellas. Right across the street from the beach. They don't have there own parking lot except for 1 handicap parking right in from of the restaurant. Just find parking on the street or go pay for beach parking and walk over. Less than a 5 minute walk. I paid for 1 hour and it was 3.50 $ Very nice staff and helpful. They grabbed up a booster seat for our little....
