Easy to find because it's on the street's edge, tucked away from the rest of a strip mall. Loved what they've done with their additional outdoor seating! (Hope it stays). This place now only serves breakfast and lunch, and my smoked salmon bagel platter was superb! Loved the slices cukes!! 🤗

Great local family restaurant serving up all the classics with generous portions and fast friendly service. We've been coming here for years and never had a bad experience. The corned beef hash and huevos rancheros are my two favorite dishes.

Like many places in Santa Barbara, Cody’s has had to make adjustments for Covid 19 reasons, and are no longer attached to their sister restaurant on the Mesa , and the menu has slightly changed, along with the prices. But the people are the same, awesomely nice and the drinks are very strong , something that have kept the locals loyal and it won’t disappear like Goleta Coffee across the way. Something the scientists from the reality show Bar Rescue could learn from. The Breakfasts are hearty and used to be a favorite of the working fisherman back in the day . The Californian Benedict, with its perfectly cooked poached egg and tomato and avocado is a known favorite of the local Santa Bar-barbarians and for a slight fee , add those to the Fairfax Benedict ( I think it’s a wink to Canter’s Deli in LA on Fairfax) which is Smoked Salmon on a bagel, cream cheese,poached egg, Homemade Hollandaise sauce and is served with a choice of potatoes , cottage fries or their perfect hash browns and homemade salsa. I can’t eat like that anymore, so I got the grilled Fresh Salmon that I photographed ,because it looked like a perfect still life painting ! Healthy too ! Sadly, because of the Covid, the price was $20 and with tea and tax , plus a tip ,well, I can’t afford to eat there everyday like I had for the past 20 years. (Maybe when the Covid 19 is over ; prices will go down again )🙏The Salads and Hamburgers are just as good as they were decades ago. I especially enjoyed the $13 Gorgonzola Salad with its cheese and mandarins , and for $7 extra , you can add a piece of grilled Chicken or Salmon. Now with outdoor seating, they also have a cozy banquet room and side bar (although I haven’t seen it used much since the Covid ) and for the same reason, it is no longer open for dinner . 😔 Sigh , it’s the end of an era in Santa Barbara. But for Breakfast and Lunch it is still one of the best “Local Favorites “ in Goleta.

Discovering the beautiful areas of Goleta in Santa Barbara, Ca ; Find this incredible restaurant, the setting option outside feels nice, the amazing service with astounding dishes made this restaurant shines!!! Thank you, to all their Team showing that by working together the experience is great. The menu has many choices to be discover. 💫 Thank you,

The staff at Cody’s Cafe were very attentive and helpful! My waiter even wrote directions to the best thrift stores near by for me! My cottage fries and biscuits and gravy were great and came in hardy portions!

We were wanting to try out a new place yo have brunch and so glad we stopped here. We were seated really fast. No wait time and there is plenty of seating. You can be seated outside, inside, and at the bar. Perfect for a large group or just 1 person. The waiter was super friendly and very aware if we needed anything. Our order came out about 10 minutes to 15 after we ordered. Prices are great for the food and alcohol beverages.

Cody's delivers an average experience. I liked my burger but it was nothing special. Our server took care of us but didn't really do anything to garner an above-average review. And as for the dining room, we sat outside and there was nothing special to report. Would I return to Cody's? Sure, there was nothing wrong with it. There just was not enough to suggest a special return visit in a city packed with good restaurants.

Our first time here, got seated right away, hostess was welcoming and smiley! Had great service from Danny, friendly & fast! Legit breakfast food! Hot & fresh!

Simple, fair priced, well Portioned breakfast. If you want something healthy, affordable, and that fills you up Cody’s checks the boxes. I get their omelettes and load them with veggies. I’d appreciate some upgrades like gluten free bread options, organic produce, even listing where the bacon comes from. But that’s no reason not to go there if you want hearty and nutritious morning food!

Standard average place for breakfast and lunch. The prices are reasonable, on average breakfast will cost you $16. Very nice staff and waiters, attentive, not intrusive, polite. The breakfasts are really tasty, but what is different from other places is the muffins. The muffins are really tasty with fresh juicy berries.

This was a regular go to weekend spot for us for a decade... Then things changed and then covid,,parklet..Hadn't been back for 2 years. Not very busy for a Sunday. Told us we would have wait for a booth. We chose a table inside, walked in and three booths were clean and ready...no one else was waiting. Weird.. The Benedict was good, classic Cody's. My wife enjoyed her breakfast burrito. Both bars were open yet not occupied. NFL was on... We'll give them another try soon.

I have been here several times now. The interior restaurant is clean but dated. It has a very nice outdoor patio but it’s the plastic chair type experience. But restaurants are about the food. Have had there French toast and pancakes on different occasions as well as their bacon. Honestly it’s just another greasy spoon breakfast joint. Perhaps the standards are ignored as ever time I’ve come the food is not good. Uninspired would fit. Even the bacon is just an everyday product I could get at Safeway. Service is much the same. They could do much better. What I have had I could get at Dennys.

I like this place very much. It's right in the middle of my old stomping grounds. Cody's location has been a few other restaurants over the years. It probably has been Cody's the longest. At first they had one small bar then they opened up another one which made it much easier to find a seat. Food is really good and service is on point. I would usually go in to watch sports, have a few drinks and appetizers. This place always had somebody I knew in it. Local hang out for some of us.

The hash browns were not fully cooked and had a bland taste even with salt, pepper and ketchup. Eggs were served cold. It was not busy when we arrived but more people showed so maybe that's the reason for the cold food. Disappointed as they were better before. Service was good though. Hence the 2 stars instead of 1.

We often visit Cody's when we come to Santa Barbara. The food is constantly good, and the service is spectacular. The blueberry muffins are a family favorite, and we have enjoyed breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Cody's.

Found Cody's on Google planning a drive from Orange County to Big Sur. From me, it was exactly as expected. Cafe foo; my Omlette with tri tip was good, but not exquisite. They were open at 7am, big win for a long drive. Several locals showed for door opening like a daily routine. "Best eggs" from a 10 year old. "Good French toast, make sure to mention that because good French toast is hard" from a 14 year old. "Giant Pancakes" from an 8 year old. There is outdoor seating and the inside restaurant was clean. Service was friendly, but I will note it was not busy yet.

10/06/23 Update: so we thought we'd give it another try, we ordered Yaters sandwich and the Cobb salad. The chicken in both was rather tasteless and I'm pretty sure it came from a large compressed loaf of chicken that was cut into slices for the sandwich and cubes for the salad. The beer was good until I realized there were a food-like substance stuck on the bottom of a glass, which I didn't notice until I drank all the beer. But it was nice sitting on the outdoor patio. It was ok, good not great, not much atmosphere, but they do have a full bar. Hostess seated us at a dirty table with the check still on it which didn't get cleaned until we asked. Taking advantage of the full bar, I ordered an Irish coffee for this cold rainy day, but all I got was cold coffee with whiskey and whipped cream on top. Looked good but not even close to a real Irish coffee. But it was strong! My Cobb salad was a generous portion, but poor with bland chicken, cold limp toast, and thin, gray colored blue cheese dressing. On a high note, the tri tip sandwich was tender and we'll cooked. Fries we're also good. Our server was attentive but I couldn't help notice the couple across from us trying to get their servers attention for too long. They have an extensive breakfast menu so I'm thinking this may be a better breakfast place.

Generous portions of the food so you might share a dish for a light lunch. We like the tuna melt. We can replace the fry with salad so we get two salads from one order. That was exactly what we wanted.
