INDUSTRIAL EATS

My recent visit to Industrial Eats near Solvang, CA was a bit of a mixed bag, but overall, I left with a positive impression and a determination to give it another try. Walking into the restaurant, I was immediately struck by the bustling atmosphere, with a line stretching out the door. While this initially seemed overwhelming, it was a testament to the popularity of the establishment. However, the setup at the bar with the menu placed off to the side made it challenging to decide what to order amidst the hustle and bustle. By the time I reached the front of the line, I felt a bit rushed and slightly overwhelmed. Despite the initial chaos, the food itself was fantastic. I opted for the Potato and Sage pizza, drawn in by the rave reviews, but unfortunately, mine arrived with a burnt bottom, which affected the overall taste and texture of the crust. However, the attentive staff were quick to accommodate my request for extra goat cheese to help balance out the burnt flavor, which was greatly appreciated. On the brighter side, the Petite Filet, Spinach, Mushroom, Mash dish was an absolute standout. The filet was cooked to perfection, and the accompanying mashed potatoes were incredibly creamy and flavorful - truly a dish to die for. Overall, while my experience at Industrial Eats had its ups and downs, the delicious food and accommodating staff left me eager to give it another try. With such a great selection of dishes and a fantastic deal on local wines, I'm hopeful that my next visit will be a flawless 10/10 experience.

Killing!

Group of 6 all of us were startled by how good the food was.
Shared tables but friendly.
If going to Solvang beat the crowd & go 8 minutes to industrial eats.

Dinner day before with cod was good. Next day tuna sandwich was disappointing. A tuna salad inside a baguette. Very hard to eat as it was huge and no flavor. Softer bread would have worked better. Too bad.

Worth the wait. Grab a beer and relax.
