Taverns have flourished along Santa Ynez’s Sagunto Street since 1906. Sixty years ago, four busy bars entertained the locals and visitors alike. These establishments were named Last Chance, the Bum Steer, Parker’s and the Maverick Saloon. While three of the four original taverns have since disappeared into history, the legendary Maverick Saloon is still going strong and continues to be a staple in the Santa Ynez valley.In 1963, Jerry and Diane Thompson bought nine bare lots from publisher tycoon Hastings Harcourt. Plans were drawn up for a museum, restaurant, two-story hotel and the Maverick Saloon, which is named after a TV series starring James Garner. A few years later (approx. 1968) the barn was built next to the saloon. To achieve an antique look, the Thompsons used materials salvaged from demolished Victorian houses. The barn’s history began as the “Lulubelle’s Restaurant” and a tool rental facility. The barn and dancehall became a permanent part of the Maverick Salo

    We are huge fans of Joy and the deliciousness that comes from her kitchen! Part-time neighbors and good friends from Los Angeles treated us to dinner after hearing about the uniqueness of the atmosphere, the "vibe," and especially the food. They were impressed and said it rivals many of their usual "haunts." in Brentwood and Calabasas. They keep a journal of places they have dined and said Elli'e would be top of the list for dining in the S.Y. Valley! We each had a different menu item including the rabbit stew, the pork ribs and the beautifully roasted chicken and my favorite, the salmon. Portions are so generous and will serve to be another great respite to enjoy again today! The server, Brock was very attentive, even as it got busier as the evening went on, as well as being very knowledgeable about each menu item...a big plus! Joy is so warm and friendly and her given talent in re-creating menu items from her Mother's recipes is clearly evident. Her attentiveness to ensuring a great dining experience is evidenced by her visiting with patrons during their time in her dining room! This place is top drawer that will give an experience worth repeating and repeating!!!

    Bartender, Nick, is always great and friendly, no matter how busy he is. Food is fantastic, lamb chops were perfect and steak was great also. Server was excellent even with a very busy evening and full house. Always go there when we are in Santa Ynez/Los Olivos.

    We shared a caesar salad and requested a few anchovies as the dressing doesn't have anchovies in it. They served several white anchovies which I hadn't tasted before. The salad is a terrific choice and the white anchovies are very mild and not as salty as the usual anchovies I've had. We shared the flatbread which is the best I've ever had. I ordered the chicken cacciatore which we took home as I ate all of the flatbread. My wife had the carnitas tacos which were excellent as well. Not many people have caught on to the dinner offered Wednesday through Friday. It is really wonderful.
