The restaurant is currently owned and
managed by the original founders'
grandson, Chad Stevens. Sambo's
continues the family tradition established by Chad's grandfather
nearly 50 years ago of great food
at a great price!
And just for fun - we throw in a terrific view of the Pacific Ocean, the nearby wharf
and the Channel Islands!
So when you are in the neighborhood, take a moment to step back in time,
enjoy
the view from the patio or inside from any of the
spacious bay windows and be
prepared to fill up, because the portions are very
generous as well as being delicious.
We are open 7 days a week serving a Hearty Breakfast
including our famous
Sambo's Pancakes ( bet
you can't eat one hundred and sixty nine! ) complete
with Sambo's special Tiger
Butter and rich, thick syrup or if you prefer -
sample one of our very tasty Lunch specialties!
Simply click the 'Menu'
link (to the left) to see what we have in store for you!
Like Sambo's, this website has a little something for
everyone - for the youngest
Tiger-Tamers we have an online coloring book and
activities. For the very
young at heart who may have a
special memory or thought about the Sambo's
Restaurant chain when they could be found
across this great land of ours -
We are even entertaining the thought of offering
additional locations if we find
there is enough of a demand.
Coloring
Book, Games and Puzzles!
Memorabilia
Available for Purchase
We have a
community posting board
where you can share your
stories and perhaps
find something about one of the many restaurants that
dotted our landscape or a former co-worker.
We also share a piece of the history of Sambo's
through a few photographs
along
with the story of "Little Black Sambo"
written in 1899 by Helen Bannerman,
as seen
when it was published in 1921, and the association
this children's story had with the restaurant chain.
You can
share this story with your children
online as
an
interactive book where you turn the pages complete
with illustrations ( as published in 1921 ) and
listen
to the narrative ( Broadband / Hi-Speed connection
recommended ) Click the link to the
left, just below the book,
to hear a sample.
For those of you looking for a
keepsake or two as it
relates to
Sambo's and
you can't make it to
beautiful Santa Barbara, we offer a
few items of
select memorabilia
and souvenirs available for purchase, that can be
viewed and reserved in your name online - just take a
walk into the 'Souvenir Jungle' for our current
offerings.
