EXPERT TIPS BY: Geneva Ives
Santa Barbara Local Expert

Best Value: "Try their Eggplant Sammie. The eggplant is pounded thin, breaded, fried and topped with melted provolone. It frequently sells out, so get there early or call ahead."

Recommended as Best Value Because: Giant sandwiches and salads with heaps of fresh ingredients make this deli a lunchtime go-to.
