Review by Simeon Lynch

Benchmark Eatery is a delightful spot in Santa Barbara that blends a casual atmosphere with top-notch American comfort food. 🌟

I ordered the classic cheeseburger, and it did not disappoint - juicy and bursting with flavor! The outdoor seating was perfect for enjoying my meal with friends, and the fast service was appreciated.

Their coffee is also a must-try, a great pick-me-up during lunch. I love that it’s women-owned and accessible, making it a fantastic choice for families and groups.

Can’t wait to go back for brunch next time! 🍔☕️
