Far Western Tavern

Central Coast restaurant recognized as a landmark of Santa Maria Style Barbecue, a renowned regional cuisine rooted in local ingredients. Steak, ribs, tri-tip and other grilled dishes are prepared using methods that were first popularized by 19th century rancheros.

Much more than a steakhouse, the restaurant dining room and bar menu blends this local barbecue style with other dishes that reflect our family’s heritage in the Santa Maria Valley’s Swiss-Italian ranching community, all prepared with fresh flavors from nearby farms and ranches.

Private banquet facilities with room rental available for large parties, dinners or company meetings.
