Since 1958

A Santa Barbara Tradition

While Farmer Boy has received a refresh in recent years, the classic Santa Barbara diner remains true to its old-school roots, from counter seating to comfy booths. Guests enjoy traditional breakfast favorites like eggs, omelets and pancakes, along with hearty dishes including chicken and waffles, chilaquiles and eggs benedict. An all-day breakfast menu is available alongside burgers, sandwiches and salads, with classic soda fountain treats like shakes, root beer floats and banana splits to finish.

Start Your Morning Right

At Farmer Boy, mornings start early. Fresh fruits and vegetables are sliced, cinnamon rolls and biscuits are baked, and our French toast batter is made from scratch. Every dish is prepared to order using quality ingredients — just like we’ve done since 1958.

Friendly Service, Since 1958

Friendly, accommodating service is just as important as fresh food. At Farmer Boy, it’s all about making your visit comfortable and enjoyable. Order breakfast or lunch anytime, make substitutions to fit your preferences, and take your time — we’re here to make your experience easy and welcoming, just like a neighborhood diner should be.
