Deja Vu chili cheese fries were the best. FreeBirds was ok but I was more of a Tio Albertos kind of guy for burritos. Rusty's pizza is a Santa Barbara staple as is Woodstocks.
@maltedhopsfrenzy the last time I was up in the SYV I went to the casino and messed around in dt Solvang and not much else. I have never been to Sides although I am bummed I never made it - looks like it was a great spot.
