The Blue Owl

One of two restaurants in Santa Barbara that I know of where you can get banh mi . They offer some pretty unique menu items too with an interesting twist. Love this place!

I have lived in SB for 25 years and have been missing out. This place is awesome. I had the Blue Beef . It was amazing.

Santa Barbara's great little gourmet secret. For lunch you want a Duck Croissant or savory salad , with a Mexican coke or house soda .. But you must come back late night for a Thai Basil Burger .

Rosemary lemonade and Thai iced tea are both made in-house. Delicious. Thai tea is not overly sweet, too. If you are there with a friend, get both.

Stopped here as we were passing through town . Excellent, healthy, and delicious choices. Would definitely go again.

The Thai Basil Burger with an egg is the best burger ever!

Great sandwiches ! The Salami and Turkey were both fantastic.

Get the Thai Basil Burger and add an egg . Thank me later.

The eggplant sandwich is pretty close to perfect. It comes on great bread and has a mayo-like sauce.

Easily one of the most delicious creative “hole in the walls ” in SB. Try everything and share it!

Thai burger thing..whoa delicious. Really creative menu they make burgers with a twist

Amazing healthy food with vegan options

Bahn Mi with beef , Thai Basil Burger , Fried Rice . Best restaurant in downtown!

Thai basil burger is one of the best burgers I’ve ever had 🤤

Thai basil burger is good - they're $11 and not $8. Not as ridiculously worth it at that price. (also bun is toasted white bread )

Incredible pork bánh mi , and the other sandwich we ordered was equally amazing.

Great selector exciting lunch options. Felt like I wanted to try it all.

The burgers are patty melts and they are dope. I love the Thai one.

Great sandwiches . Though initially seems a little expensive , sandwiches are pretty big.

Great place to go when you've been out drinking on State St. The burger is heaven in your mouth.

great vegetarian sandwiches . my favorite was the eggplant .

Favorite lunch spot in downtown Santa Barbara!

The Thai basil burger is just amazing! The fried rice is too!
