Farmer Boy Restaurant

Ian Filippini Santa Barbara is no stranger to good food when eating out. He has frequented many, many restaurants in the Santa Barbara area over the 18 years that he has lived here. Ian Filippini Santa Barbara enjoys both casual and sophisticated places to eat, and he can never pass up on a “greasy spoon.” That’s why Ian Filippini Santa Barbara loves to dine at Farmer Boy Restaurant (www.farmerboy.com).

Farmer Boy Restaurant has been a staple on upper State Street in Santa Barbara since 1958. Up until 2014, it was a true old fashioned diner from the huge plates of comfort food to the classic decor. In 2014, the owner of Farmer Boy Ralph Karleskint sold his beloved restaurant to the Bennett family who also own several other Santa Barbara area restaurants. The Bennett family reopened Farmer Boy in 2016 with an updated and expanded menu and more up to date decor. Ian Filippini could care less what the decorations look like, as long as the food is still good! And sure enough, Farmer Boy’s menu still has diner staples such as hamburgers, fried chicken and humongous cinnamon rolls.

Farmer Boy is open daily from 6:30-2:30, so be sure to get there before they close so you don’t miss out on some great food. The staff has always been and continues to be very friendly and accommodating to its guests.

Ian Filippini Santa Barbara still enjoys eating at Farmer Boy after all of these years. His favorite dish is the fried chicken biscuit sliders. To learn more about Ian Filippini Santa Barbara, go to http://ianfilippinisantabarbara.co/ and http://www.slideshare.net/ianfilippini/.
