I have lived in the Santa Ynez Valley for some 12 years, and we often go to Mother Hubbards in Buellton. Why? Because besides being a warm and welcoming place, even the soups are homemade, as are their biscuits, gravies--actually everything I've ever tried there. Breakfasts are amazing and served any time; their homemade corned beef hash with an egg on top is one of my favorites. They'll even take "adjustments" to menu items. There are some desserts to die for, too. Try the hot apple strudel, or other yummy creations, so be sure to ask what's available. I think the economy's slump has definitely trickled down to the grass roots, and I've noticed shorter-staffing everywhere!! At least the service at Mother Hubbards is consistently good and cheerful. I enjoy their monthly email newsletter, which alerts you to specials and new dishes, plus newsy tidbits. Today is my birthday, and I had put my name on their birthday list. Wow! I got an email for a free dinner! I highly recommend this family-owned, cozy restaurant. Mother Hubbards is right across the street from the huge and bustling Pea Soup Anderson's, which is just average good diner type fare. They have a large and exciting gift shop that is worth visiting, but their terrific pea soup can be bought there in cans, so no need to eat there. I'm reminded of an old adage for travelers that fits Mother Hubbards: "If the locals eat there, that's where the good food is." Need I say more?
