Good coffee, amazing orange juice, really friendly staff. The best part is that they are VERY DOG FRIENDLY! They even have hooks on the walls to leash the dogs next to your table. A really good experience. read less - 11/10/2019

Once was for dinner and today for lunch. The food is great and the atmosphere is sweet. Feels home-y and diner-esque. The staff are nice, but it did take quite a while for a server to help us today. I'm thinking Sunday's are really busy for them, as they were packed today. My husband and I both ordered the oriental chicken salad (dressing mixed in) and it was delicious. I would definitely order it again. Cute place! read less - 11/10/2019

The place has been here for a while which I am glad to see an establishment be in one place for years...especially in Santa Barbara.Let's start with the service. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. She always had a smile on her face.As for the food, very good. I am not claiming it is 5 stars but very good for what it is. I ordered a Bloody Mary plus a Mexican scramble. Very very good.Highly recommend if you are in the area. read less - 9/22/2019

AN ANTIDOTE TO OVER-PRICED, ARTSY-FARTSY RESTAURANTS.

Thus it's a relief to find there are still some family friendly cafes with a good menu, quality food, and friendly and not condescending waiter service. Cody's is one. A lively, delightful place full of happy customers. Bottomless Arnold Palmers to drink, wonderful sandwiches and burgers with excellent salads and fries. The fish and chips and the Cobb salad are very good. The only reason I don't give it five stars is that on one occasion I had a club sandwich, which is hard to screw up, that wasn't right. Imagine pale soggy toast with bland, tasteless fillings falling out of it. Otherwise, skip the fancy joints and their attitude, save money, and enjoy a good meal. read less - 9/15/2019

My boyfriend ordered a club sandwich and loved it as well. Our waitress was great but the hostess was not welcoming either times I've been there. Many locals go there and you can see why! Really great tasting food and they have a bar with a great selection! read less - 9/13/2019

I always come for breakfast and I occasionally do a burger. The pasta is so so and that also serve alcoholic beverages if that tickles your fancy. I like that you can see directly into the kitchen space where the gentleman are hard at work. The staff is always very quick to seat you and take your order and knowledgeable about the menu. The decor is pretty cool and gives you something to converse about while eating your meal pretty cool to see surfboards hanging while you eat hah. Over all I would recommend Cody's to anyone looking to try something new. If you like Eggs Benedict's with some avocado then try out the California Benedict's you would be disappointed!!! read less - 7/25/2019

The salad I got was excellent - it had tons of fresh garden veggies in it.
The server was AWESOME. When my husband was worried the fries were not going to be enough for him, server brought more without us even asking.
My husband's turkey club had real turkey, not deli meat.
For dessert, my husband got apple pie a la mode. The scoop of ice cream they gave him was huge! The pie was warm and he loved it.
We were not expecting the food to be this good in a diner type place.
Now for the bad news:
Went back for breakfast.
My daughter did not even eat her hash browns. They had no flavor, were soft and soggy inside, crispy on outside. Barely warm.
My veggie omelet was simply some chopped veg folded into egg whites. The veg was not cooked into the omelet.
My daughter's waffle was not warm enough to melt the butter she put on it.
Eww.
But they do serve Peet's coffee, so that's something. I would give breakfast a skip. read less - 7/13/2019

Their fresh squeezed orange juice is soo good and fresh. Try the mimosas with fresh squeezed OJ and you will not be disappointed.
