Very friendly staff and wonderful location. Live music and little selection but delicious food. Picnic type atmosphere with outdoor seating

Stopped by for lunch while camping. Very convenient location. Things are a little pricey, but that's the price you pay for convenience. I got the tri-tip sandwich. Bread was good. Meat had a good, smokey flavor, but it was dry and on the over-cooked side. They do have a full bar, and the drinks we got were decent. Good assortment of beers and ciders. There was a big delay in getting our order as they forgot to put it in, but they fixed it quickly and even gave us a free drink. If you're feeling lazy and don't want to cook at your campsite, good choice for some food.

Peaceful spot right on the lake. We were treated to live music when we stopped by on a Sunday afternoon. It was the perfect place to hang out after our lunch at Cold Springs Tavern. The bartender was friendly, music was good and the views were wonderful. This is adjacent to a large camping and picnic area. Lots of people enjoying the day with friends and family. Everyone around us seemed to be enjoying their food, but we did not order anything.

Such a cute little spot on Lake Cachuma. Food is a lil pricey but overall pretty good and the vibes are what you'd expect. It's right by the lake and they have music playing on the weekends. Ordered the Bloody Mary, 50/50 fries and classic burger. Bloody Mary was missing some of that tanginess. Still it's pretty awesome to enjoy your food right by the lake!!

What a pleasant surprise to have a nice restaurant right at Cachuma Lake campgrounds. Located right at the edge of the water, you can sit inside or outside - they're also dog-friendly outside, which is always a plus. Full bar inside with a small but decent menu. Their special smoked brisket quesadilla was DELICIOUS. Packed with tender, flavorful brisket and cheese, it was much larger than I was expecting. The tri-tip sandwich was decent, albeit a bit dry - wouldn't order it again. As I said, a good drink selection. They had some great canned ciders as well as a tasty, spicy Bloody Mary. There's not too much shade outside, so if the weather is hot, I'd avoid sitting outside. Definitely a bit more expensive. We paid nearly $80 for two meals and two drinks. So just keep that in mind.

We were on our way to Solvang & we saw this lake Cachuma so we had to stop to see how it was. We were delighted to see there was a restaurant there so we got some lunch while we were at it. The views were great & I liked the veggie sandwich & fries - basic but pretty good. Although, it took awhile for it to come out despite not being too busy so service was meh but nice pit stop nonetheless!

This is my go-to spot when we visit Cachuma. The food, service and atmosphere are spectacular. We always plan to have a least one meal here when we visit. There are dog bowls for our pup and she loves hanging out under the table. We're here for like the 6th or 7th time on a Saturday afternoon in September. My gf had the Veggie Grilled Cheese with Gluten Free Bread which is her favorite. And with the combo she added Sweet Potato Waffle Fries. Let's just say, I ate half the fries! They give you this buttermilk ranch sauce to dip in. It's freakin amazing. I got the Tr-tip sandwich with Onion Rings as a combo. They include a side of salsa for the sando and ketchup for the rings. The tri-tip was cooked perfectly and the bread was fresh and the perfect combination of soft and crunchy. The onion rings were fresh and hot and ginormous. They provided a satisfying crunch with each bite. We couldn't finish everything for lunch so we'll have a little midday snack to finish our meal which is just about the most perfect situation you could ask for.
