Restaurants
in Lompoc

Lompoc visitors never go hungry! From full course meals and casual eats to must-try wine bars and local breweries, there’s no shortage of mouth-watering food and drinks in Lompoc.

With more than 20 local restaurants to choose from, you can enjoy artisan eats, handcrafted by Lompoc culinary legends.

In the mood for something light? Coffee shops and dessert bars are sprinkled throughout town. When you’re ready to wrap up your day of sightseeing, wind down with a local glass of vino, grown and produced just steps from your seat.

If a restaurant experience is what you’re after, try the farm-to-table entrees and craft cocktails at Valle Eatery + Bar, sample old-fashioned mac and cheese at Old Town Kitchen and Bar, enjoy homemade tortillas at El Palmar Mexican Restaurant, or indulge in Korean BBQ specials at Sake Sushi.

Don’t be surprised if you meet an owner or two during your meal. Many Lompoc restaurants are locally owned, some even boast multi-generational ownership. These owners have passed down decades-old recipes, fed countless locals and tourists, and been a part of the Lompoc community fabric for years.

Alfie’s, a hotspot for fish and chips, for example, opened in 1969, and the town’s ice cream shop, Fosters Freeze, dates back to 1946.

Lompoc’s restaurant scene pays respect to its iconic restaurants while also welcoming new eateries that add a special flair to the area. Hangar 7 has a fresh dining experience with shareable plates and the Tap and Cork is a great place to socialize while devouring a tri-tip sandwich.

If you need a little pick-me-up as you tour the murals of Old Town, grab a coffee at South Side Coffee Co., try a lychee lemonade from Teaklish Boba and Cafe, and top it off with a red velvet cupcake from Sweet Baking Co. or a glazed donut from Lompoc Donuts.

Lompoc boasts an array of wineries and breweries too. Sip a Honey Blonde at Cold Coast Brewing Company or sit on the patio of Sta. Rita Hills Wine Center, and introduce your taste buds to a cool-climate syrah, pinot noir, or chardonnay produced by Lompoc-based wineries.

No matter what your preference, taste, or budget–Lompoc has you covered.
