Ordered take out from the Splash Cafe while staying at the Lighthouse Suites. Brought the dinner back to our ocean front room and watched the sun set with a glass of wine. Perfect. Over the years we have often gone to the Splash Cafe and never been disappointed.

Best Clam Chowder in the county; wonderful seafood salads; their bakery is "the best". Busy corner, but quite a few spaces to park. Sit in the sun, on the patio and enjoy!

The reviews all seemed to rave about this place. I actually thought the clam chowder was way too rich, I couldn't even eat a whole bowlful. A family of 5 Ordered the clam chowder bowls each, with a few fish and chips and drinks and it was $78! For cafe style eating, that seemed way overpriced!

The food was delicious, but it's beach food. So know what you're getting. Lots of fried heavy food. The atmosphere is awesome; very beachy and fun. It's more of a tourist attraction than anything, I think. It's still really tasty and the clam chowder is second to none.

We called and spoke with a manager who informed us the so called "clam chowder" also... More

And, my restaurant of choice is Beachside Cafe in Goleta for their thick, white, creamy, warm and wonderful clam chowder-just a bowl with a roll,not chowder in a bread bowl. Anyway, after reading about Splash and their award winning chowder, I just had to try it. Once was enough. As... More

Lots of patrons but speedy lines. Effiicient service and loved the trick of toasting the bread bowl "cap" and serving (not just chucking it away. Tasty clam chowder with lots of clams as compared to the potato-laden ones. I'd order another bowl if not for the sad stares of other patrons waiting to nab a seat.

The clam chowder is really, really good. I had mine in a bread bowl ... A nice touch was that they brushed the top/middle sections of the hollowed bowl and grilled them up - perfect for dipping. We actually went for breakfast and managed to sit down. The line typically wraps around the building (just for take out... good luck... More
