We visited after peak lunch hours on Black Friday. There was still a wait to order and the front room was packed to overflowing. Fortunately, their second dining room in the space immediately next door had plenty of space. We had our 2 ex-racing greyhounds with us, so having space for them to lie down on the floor without getting stepped on was awesome. Yes, dogs are allowed inside if they are quiet and well-behaved. The food was worth the wait. I had the BBQ brisket sandwich, and my sister had the curry cauliflower. Both had huge servings. You won’t go away hungry, especially since it was so tasty. The service was friendly and efficient.

Me and my partner went here because it was so popular in the area. Beef tongue pastrami reuben was okay and that BBQ brisket sandwich was bad. The meet was so dry and the buns were.. just not good. I was so excited but after having the first bites of each dishes, I got disappointed 🫠 but the vibe was good.

WHAT an atmosphere! You can 'feel the soul' of this place before you even get thru the doors (or smell the yummy nuances of fresh spices/food or hear the happy chatter going on).
The menu is creative, well balanced and reasonably priced. I wasn't up for a heavy meal but there were quite a few things I'd have loved to try, otherwise. I had a wonderful pizza; Prosciutto, Taleggino Cheese and fresh Arugala and my friend had the BEST BBQ brisket sammy I've ever tasted. My pizza was light but the flavors literally jumped out at you.
The art on the walls is eclectic, funky and as you look around, you just keep finding more!
I chatted with a friendly guy (food prepping at the time) and he talked about "what a special place" it was to work how they bought locally and put their food/ingredient quality first. You can tell!
I wish it wasn't so far from home but next time I travel this way, THIS is where I'm going😁💯and you should too.

Went back to back evenings ( both before closing) because we wanted to fill the cravings from the night before. A mix of eclectic wall/ shelf displays and a variety of musical styles fill the atmosphere of IE. The 2 large pizza ovens take up the rear end of the restaurant and one is adorned with a classic retro mural of “The Warriors”, a 1979’s low budget gang flick that I remember very well( see photo). The menu is filled with enough to satisfy. varied choices of Pizza, sandwiches, salads, and revolving specialty items.
My wife and I ordered the Short Rib Shepards pie ( comfort food at its best) , Caesar Salad ( enough for 2), Potato and sausage and fennel pizzas ( very tasty) , and the White Shrimp over crusty bread with chili garlic ( this one is spicy so my wife ended up eating my shepherds pie; I loved it though). I saw a lot of negative reviews from years ago about service but everyone at this place was super friendly very professional and happy to see you there. They also have a good variety of craft beer and wine. Stop by when in Buellton/ Solvang. I’ll finish with a quote from that “Warriors” movie: “Can You Dig it!” <——-if you know , then you know.

I only get to stop by this place occasionally when I'm visiting the area, but when I'm there I'm in foodie heaven! I think the menu rotates, as it is written on what appears to be butcher's paper, but it always seems to be a great balance of healthy options and fatty goodness.

Good food for cheap. The wait was 30-45 mins for a sandwich. A lot of people bring their dogs inside.

We had wanted to eat here for a long time, so when our travels brought us back to Buellton we stopped in for lunch. The food was good, the service was too...the atmosphere was a little lacking and you have to share eating tables with other diners. Not really what we had expected, but the sandwiches were good. A+ on the bread. Cubano needed more pickle and less cheese...the lettuce greens on the side were tasty. We'll be back but with lower expectations.

This restaurant was recommended to us by the owner of Kessler-Haak Vineyard when we had a wine tasting there. We had the Cubano sandwich and the Pan Bagnat sandwich. Both sandwiches were great but we also ordered one of the special that day. It's was the morel mushrooms, fennel sausage, roasted pasilla peppers and Taleggio cheese pizza. That pizza was AMAZING. We'll be back here again for sure...
