"Cold Spring Tavern is a living Santa Barbara legend, pushed into the hillsides above the Central Coast city. Loaded with roadhouse favorites like grilled tri-tip and other steaks, piping-hot chili, and saucy ribs, this 130-plus-year-old getaway is still as popular with travelers as ever before. Expect live music and a mid-to-long wait on weekends." - Eater Staff, Mona Holmes
