Corner Tap has some really good things going for it, but there’s still some things you’ll be left wanting.
We ordered the Caesar salad, pretzel, and animal fries, coming out to just shy of $40. Portion wise, this was a bit much for what we received, but it’s Santa Barbara after all.
The Caesar salad was satisfactory, albeit a touch spicy. I’d say it’s a tasty budget salad choice. As a note to the owners, please provide more sauce for your to go orders! You’ve got something great here, let me enjoy it to its fullest!
The pretzel was a bit of a mixed bag. It was deliciously seasoned and came with a great mustard; however, the cheese sauce it came with was a little mild. I’d like it to be a slightly larger serving as well, but the flavors still make it a solid choice.
Okay, let’s dive into the animal fries. These things are great and could honestly constitute a full meal by themselves. If someone asks you to split an order, don’t. You want your own.
Let’s talk about the ugly aspects of this visit. Honestly, it’s loud inside. Luckily, there’s plenty of outdoor seating, just avoid sitting along Cliff Drive and you’ll be fine. The parking situation is also rough, especially considering people like to park over the “lines” of reflectors.
The worst part was how long it took for our food to be ready. It took just shy of 25 minutes to prepare a salad, pretzel, and some fries. I’m not trying to nitpick, but considering how little food was leaving the kitchen in general, it was slow.
All together, we done! This will be replacing Mesa Burger for us from now on, especially with how comparable the prices have become. To wrap it up, here are their current, 2023 menus so you can see each items pricing.
Happy eating!
