I attended an event on the patio designed to facilitate communication between the neighborhood and the new City Council member, Jennifer Smith. Between speakers and Q&A, I poked my head in to see the menu and observe the hardworking staff. This place clearly serves as a hub for those in the surrounding neighborhoods. I so admire that they provided a space for traffic engineers, planners, cops, and politicians to engage with the public. It was fun to watch staff members darting through the crowd to deliver delicious-looking plates to customers in the tavern a few doors down. I greatly enjoyed a few cups of coffee and chatting with officials and residents of this great community. Thank you, Home Plate for serving up some delicious democracy on a Saturday morning. My family will be by soon to dine with you.
I loved the large menu- lot of great options and felt very homey vibes. Our server Davin was great. I got the omelette and it was very good & filling- definitely a large portion and we were hungry so it was perfect
Great place for a quick bite or a full on Dinner. Jasmine was very courteous and helpful. Food is very well served, tastes great. We will be back for sure. Kudos to the owner for having a great place with wonderful people. They made us feel like family, the good family, lol
This place is great! It's the epitome of a diner/greasy spoon. It has a huge menu for both breakfast and lunch. The sandwich list is extensive and the breakfast options are unique. All of the food is created in the kitchen that's not very big but it pumps out the food in an efficient manner. Inside is very basic four booths , some tables and there's some outside seating as well. It's clean and well organized and the owner is friendly. Easy parking and very reasonable pricing. I had the Cuban sandwich and it was good, the meat was a little sparse. I took one half of the sandwich and loaded the insides onto the other half and it was quite a filling meal. We will definitely return and I'm looking forward to trying their Reuben sandwich.
Home Plate Grill has well cooked food, indoor and outdoor seats, and good service overall. Biggest thing is to use the condiments on the table (salt/pepper/sugar) to adjust. If I were to come back, I'd order the "Chicken Fried Pork Chop" and the "French Toast Sammy", both of those could hold on their own without extra seasoning.
Ready for a great breakfast? You’re in for a treat. The chilaquiles are the best I’ve ever had! They know what eggs over medium means, generous portions. Good coffee and fantastic prices! All their salsas and sauces are wonderful!
What a great find after a baseball game at UCSB. We ordered a couple of the pizzas which were both good (BBQ Chicken, Tomato Basil). We also had a Tri Tip sandwich with jalapeños & another person in our group had the bacon cheeseburger. The service was good & it had a local diner type vibe.
Was in the Goleta area for a family getaway and we got takeout for breakfast and dinner from Home Plate Grill. In both cases our order was ready on time and the staff was friendly. For breakfast we had pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs, and biscuits and gravy. The pancakes were the star of the show as it tasted like that added a dash of cinnamon to them. For dinner one night we got their pizza. I was surprised because it was a really good NY style thin crust pizza. When we are back in the area again, we will definitely order from Home Plate Grill again.
Home Plate has been our go-to ever since we first found them during burrito week years ago! Their Breaksfast Sammy's are fantastic. We are so sad to hear that they are closing down, due to someone outbuying the lease. Please stay around somehow! Food truck or other location, I will follow.
I was in the greater Santa Barbara area for 6 days and found this place tucked in a neighborhood just off the 101 in Goleta. We enjoyed several breakfasts here and never had a bad dish. They're open for lunch and dinner too with a mix of traditional american diner dishes as well as some mexi-cali dishes. They'll also deliver your food to the bar at the end of the strip mall. They have some tables out front on the patio and a nice sized dining room inside. Glad we found it, as it saved us a bunch on money over the resort food prices where we were staying.
