If you take Highway 154, it's on the way from Santa Barbara to Solvang, and it's open for lunch and dinner daily. But the place truly comes alive on weekends. Breakfast is served, live music plays from afternoon into the evening, an armada of Santa Barbara bikers arrives, and lots of beer gets sold.
