⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We came here for breakfast with my family, and everything was amazing! The food was delicious, fresh, and came out quickly. The staff was super friendly and made us feel welcome right away. The kids loved their meals, and Brenda and I really enjoyed ours too. Great portions, fair prices, and a cozy local spot that feels like home. Definitely one of the best breakfast places in town—we’ll be coming back often!

Love this spot. Chili Beans with pieces of meat in it is my favorite. Amazing Tri Tip Sandwich combo for an awesome price!

The food was outstanding, and both my mother and I received generous portions for lunch. We both had plenty leftover to take home. The service and atmosphere was outstanding as well. We live in Santa Maria and we will definitely come back. It is worth the trip.

My family and I stop here often. They recognize us and always greet us warmly. There is paper on the tables for kids to color on which my son loves.

Pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food here. We ordered the healthy start breakfast and tri-tip sandwich, they were both excellent. Easily the one of the best restaurants near the Vandenberg Air Force Base with a beautiful garden and spacious dining room. Also the only one in Lompoc on Open Table!

We took a little day trip to Lompoc and stopped at Dave’s Place for lunch. The Chicken Pesto sandwich was amazing, as was the Chef Salad! The staff were very friendly and attentive. The hotel it’s connected to looked super retro cool and made us want to come back and stay. Get out and check them out!

Great dinner at Dave’s Place in the Village Inn. Started with the artichoke appetizer which was expertly prepared and presented. The wine menu was super local! The strawberry and arugula salad with tritip was excellent. The prime rib was melt in your mouth good. Servers were very attentive and courteous. Definitely will be back and will bring more people. They also have separate rooms for private events.
