Well first off I want to say good luck finding parking. There is paid parking but no one wants to pay when it's free. I was craving fish and Chips and a local recommended I try On The Alley. We arrived and placed my order right away. I spent $20 for fish and Chips and a drink. We luckily got a table, (you will struggle for seating) and as everyone got their food, I didn't. I went up to the front desk and inquired about it. There was a mix up and they refunded my order and still gave me my food. Less than 5 minutes later I received my food and I must say it looked delicious. The batter was crunchy as can be and when you dip it in the tartar sauce, the flavors just melt in your mouth. With great customer service and great food, this restaurant is a must. I haven't had such great fish and Chips in a while and I must say, On The Alley, you have exceeded my expectations and I will find my way to your restaurant in the near future.

I online ordered two breakfast burritos (meat, eggs, cheese, potatoes) and showed up at the pick up time to learn that our food had not been started. The staff apologized and said they would work on our order. We ended up waiting about 10-15 min for our food. Our burritos were mislabeled - the one labeled "bacon" had chorizo while the unlabeled burrito had bacon in it. Although the burritos were very fresh, I was disappointed with the burrito. I specifically wanted to try the breakfast burritos from On the Alley because you could put tater tots in them. However, both burritos had a lot of egg in them and very little tater tots. When we encountered the tots, they were not very crispy. Overall, I was not happy with my experience at On the Alley.

On The Alley is a fantastic casual seafood spot tucked away on Harbor Drive that perfectly captures the Santa Barbara waterfront vibe! We stopped in after a morning walk along the harbor and couldn't have been happier. The fish and chips were incredibly fresh with perfectly seasoned white fish, crunchy chips, and just the right amount of zesty sauce. Their clam chowder is hearty without being too heavy - perfect for those slightly cooler harbor mornings. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, especially considering the prime waterfront location. The staff was friendly and efficient, and everything came out fresh and hot. The locals suggested to try the locally brewed 805 beer: we really enjoyed our time there.

We were in town for the weekend visiting our daughter at UCSB and decided to grab a bite to eat before seeing a movie. We came across On The Alley and the menu fit everyone in our family, even the picky eaters. They have both inside and outside seating. We sat outside as the weather was amazing! I ordered the ultimate grilled cheese! It came with house made chips. I would have preferred French fries, but that is an additional charge. Both our girls got chicken strips. One with fries and one with tater tots and both were good! I am sure this will be a place we come often when we visit UCSB.

We took a day trip to Santa Barbara and wanted some fish for dinner. We found On the Alley and are so happy we did. It is a little place and you can eat indoors or out. It is not too expensive and everything we had was amazing. My husband loves fish and chips and I tried his and the batter was perfect and the fish so fresh and tasty. We also had fish tacos and boy were they good. We had tator tots and a few other items. All were great and we were full when we left. The service is very nice and fast. The place is clean, parking is easy. Have a great time

Restaurant is order at the counter, tables are all outside. The fish and chips come from their main restaurant Brophy Bros, located upstairs. We had the clam chowder bowl which came with 2 slices of bread, a side salad, and fish and chips for 2. The fish was hot, flaky, came with cups of tartar sauce and cocktail sauce. Their fries were much too salty unfortunately which was the only negative of the food. Worth going to if the wait at Brophy Bros is too long!
