“This hidden jem will not disappoint. The food is on point and deliciously fresh and tantalizing! They have a menu that fits every type of eater, including vegetarian selections and healthy tidbits. For those who love to indulge, mouth waters glasses of ice-cold milk shakes dipped in chocolate await you, with leftovers in the container and a spoon! There are waffles with maple syrup, Hawaiian pineapple chicken sandwiches, Serrano peppers mixed in with scrambled eggs, and kids menu items that can feed two very hungry preschools from a single plate. I always have leftovers. And to top it off, the prices are pretty reasonable, especially for the huge portion sizes. When you pull up, you may notice that the lines may be long, but don't let that hijack your food craving. Stop the car and come on in! They have a fast system, and it works like clock work. I don't know if it's because they are located at the airport where people traditionally need fast service? Or if they carry on the excellence, always model from it being an early military insulation moons and moons ago! But it works! You place your order before you're even seated and pay right away. Then you have many opportunities for seating. You can go outside and observe the plans and helicopters up close and personal on the top deck. Or there are several covered see through patios. Each is well heated and ventilated. Or you can snuggle inside in a booth or at a table with friends. You will find plenty of staff who check in on you, and are constantly on the move, providing exceptional, high quality customer service. It's a pleasant atmosphere for families, friends or individuals. You can even find a seat at the counter and watch the food service in action. So check out this community treasure whenever you're in Ventura County! You will not be disappointed but will find a home away from home.“

“Great breakfast and dinner!All you can eat for less than $12 person.You can tip them as you walk out.Staff is AWESOME! Clean.Food varies and it is delicious. They have from Chile regenos to salmon to chicken to create your our pasta. Of course, every day is different.It’s buffet style but BETTER because it is prepared for you there. You want a veggie omelette 1st time, then 2nd serving you want meat omelette. Go for it. You eat it - you order it. It is not like a regular buffet where food is left. This is a very well organized, clean and great foods.It has salads and sandwiches for those with other eating habits. Ice cream and pastries until your tummy is full. My favorite, Coffee and soft drinks all you can drink.Please be kind and take all your plates and trash where it belongs. You walk-in and serve yourself.Staff is amazing and this is the college cafeteria. We take care of them. We are nice and polite. Visit and enjoy.Parking - please pay for parking. Parking is monitored.Hours for cafeteria start in August 2023.Contact cafeteria for hours of operation.Unfortunately, they are not open during the summer. It’s okay because the food and service is great. I’ll wait for them.“

The servers and the rest of the staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive.“

“I was first introduced to Bright Spark In March at the Ventura Beer Experience. We talked with a lovely couple behind the table and tasted Day Trip, which has become my all-time favorite. We were introduced to a concept called Musical Bingo that day, and I was delighted to make my first visit to the brewery on my 55th birthday in May. Every single one of the employees there was kind, gracious, and warm. The food was absolutely amazing and the Musical Bingo is so much fun! I have since been dragging people left and right there and recommending you guys because of what a great laid back family-friendly atmosphere it is. I will be back again and again and again. and I will bring everyone I can with me! 😊🎶🤘🏼“

“Great food! Friendly & Prompt Service. I’m a to go customer and wished they had large sized drinks instead on One size!(Smaller). And I’d frequent more.“

“Ventura is filled with God breakfast restaurants, but this place is the OG of great breakfast. I've been coming here about 40 years, and never disappoints. Complimentary Swedish pancake is a great touch. Plus, Pepper plant on the table - nobody else does this. Don't know what it is? You don't know what you're missing.“

“Always pretty quick and the food is pretty good with reasonable prices. You can also order online e and have it waiting for you when you arrive. Only thing I'd wish they add is the daily specials to the website. FYSA, they only accept cards.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We decided to forgo the traditional Thanksgiving feast this year and opted for Smokin' Js instead, and it was an incredible choice! For our group of 8, we ordered the pulled pork and pulled chicken, along with baked beans, cheesy potatoes, and Southern green beans. Every dish was absolutely amazing! The flavors were on point, and we loved that we had plenty of leftovers for several meals afterward. It made our holiday even more special. Thank you, Smokin' Js, for providing such delicious food! We can't wait to come back for more!“

“Sausage gravy on point today.. but to make a point and not allow me to take my coffee to go is weird moves MGR… u won’t see me there for a min.“

“Nice craft brewery with a wide selection of beers and food. I ordered Cajun wings and sliders, and a side salad. The wings were awesome, nice and crispy, juicy, and flavorful. The sliders were meh...not very flavorful and a tad dry. I ordered them med well but they were more on the well side. Beer was good.“

“What a great place , must get the cheesecake delicious , Twisted Oak Beer was outstanding, everyone was super nice .“

“Gotta go for the band night, awesome dances and people, great waiters/waitress to help with all the basics leave a good tip and try the appetizers $$so good for the price you get more then you paid for, instantly the table is filled with large all the filled to brim drinks and dinner you have to probably box when your half done your convenient after party and dinning by the beach“

“Went for an artist reception for a friend. Atmosphere was wonderful, servers were friendly, wine, beer and food choices were plentiful. Definitely recommend for a casual meet up.“

“I'm truly grateful to have finally found something that worked. For years, I believed like everyone else that herpes had no real cure. After trying so many things with no results, I came across "Dr MOMOH" and everything changed. It's a relief to feel normal again after all this time.💯💯💯“

“If I could rate 10 stars, I would. Matt, a bartender, is amazing. My first time there and he made sure I felt like I was a regular customer. He’s 10/10 rating for sure. If you’re ever in the city and looking for a bar to go to, this is it. I’ve never felt more welcomed in a place than this.“

“Breakfast at Tony’s is so good! We had eggs Benedict with the home fried potatoes and the eggs Florentine with hash browns. Both were delicious. The Benedict sauce was so good with a hint of sweet, maybe from the ham ? The potatoes were so good and done perfectly with onions and peppers. A perfect combination. Eggs Florentine with hash browns didn’t disappoint either. Both meals were yummy. I highly recommend Tony’s .“

“We enjoyed an awesome meal, shared salads and enjoyed 5 different entrées finishing with 2 Shared desserts.. our waiter “Texas Juan” was incredible, overall I give this a five star experience!“

“My review is 25 years old, and a little fuzzy from time.I ate here as a kid in the late 80s early 90s. I can only say, it was so good I randomly went searching for it years later.It is the burger, I compare all other burgers too. I'm salivating thinking about it now.I'm just shocked it's still here. And sooo jealous I don't live in the state anymore.Check them out!!!“

“I Had a Chipotle vinaigrette dressing on a wonderful grilled chicken salad that had a nice variety of veggies, some veggies did not expect anywhere.Nice treat staff , extremely energetic , motivated and friendly facility is extremely clean.“

“Went there Friday night for dinner. Cooks couldn’t even cook a simple medium well hamburger patty I ordered, was beyond well done 😡🤢 service was great at least.

6 months later: Actually returned and had the very same order done perfectly. I put the waiter on notice to have my meat cooked as I ordered. Best burger within miles when done fabulously. 😋“

“Food and drinks here are always great. Sometimes the wait is long because there aren't enough servers. Poke nachos are a must at every visit. I'm not really sure why they give you a salad serving fork to eat with. It's meant for giants I guess. It's ridiculous.“

“I have been here many times in the past, The service seems to be slipping no longer as friendly of an environment as it used to be.

I am making this comment over my last three experiences, to be fair in the past It's always been great.“

“💯 for sure the best 💕💯💯💯💕💕💕“

“IHOP has carved out its place as America’s go-to destination for all-day breakfast, and it’s easy to see why. With its classic diner vibe, bottomless coffee, and expansive menu, IHOP delivers cozy comfort food that hits the spot — whether it’s 8 a.m. or midnight.

The star of the show? The pancakes, of course. Fluffy, buttery, and served with a rotating cast of syrups, they’re every bit as indulgent as you remember. But IHOP goes beyond breakfast — from hearty omelets and crispy hash browns to burgers and chicken-fried steak, the menu has something for every craving. Their seasonal specials keep things interesting, and the portions are generous without being overwhelming.

The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, perfect for families, post-club brunches, or solo coffee-and-waffle moments. The prices are reasonable, and the value meals make it easy to get full without breaking the bank.

If there’s one hiccup, it’s the customer service — which can be hit or miss depending on the location and time of day. Sometimes you’re greeted with warm smiles and quick refills; other times, the service feels slow or slightly inattentive. Still, the food is consistent enough to make up for the occasional lapse.

IHOP isn’t fancy, but it’s familiar, satisfying, and always open when you need it most.“

“I have visited The Cave twice, a week apart. The first time was for a wine pairing dinner, which we did with another couple. There were 5 courses (appetizer, salad, two entree courses, and dessert) and each dish was delicious. We decided to return a week later to see if it would be as good for just an ordinary night out. The restaurant was not too busy (it was a Tuesday) but each of the dishes we enjoyed was well prepared and very good. We ordered the Macadamia Crusted Salmon, a chicken special stuffed with goat cheese and spinach, and another chicken dish. The restaurant is attached to a wine shop, and if you don't want to sample wines by the ounce or order wine off the restaurant list, you can go into the shop and choose from literally hundreds of wines at all price points and then bring the bottle into the restaurant where they will serve the wine for a very minimal ($10) corkage fee. Done be put off by its location in an industrial park. This place is a gem! Inside it looks like a wine cave and they usually have some quiet live music at dinner time. This is definitely one of the better dinner spots in Ventura!“
