“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Devon is an absolute gem at The Cheesecake Factory in Oxnard!

My boyfriend and I have been helped by him twice now, and both times he’s been phenomenal. The first time, Devon helped us pick out two cheesecakes that were spot on — like he somehow knew our taste better than we did. The second time, he helped us choose another flavor, and again totally nailed it.

He’s upbeat, friendly, and just has this way of making the whole experience feel fun and personal. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does — his energy makes a difference.

The takeout area was spotless, everything was packed perfectly, and he made sure we left happy (and drooling over dessert).

If you’re picking up cheesecake in Oxnard, ask for Devon. He’s the kind of employee who turns a quick stop into a reason to come back.“

“Latitude 34 is our favorite restaurant (not just in Camarillo). The food is fantastic (lobster bisque, filet mignon, halibut, salmon, ribeye, scallops, sesame ahi, Seabass, Brie chicken, filet mignon bites, chocolate cheesecake are some of our favorites). The servers and the rest of the staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive.“

“Stopped in for a beer…stayed about six hours. The vibe is a true friendly neighborhood bar. Food was great; small menu but everything was top notch. Bartender Matt is the owner and is truly a really nice guy who makes you feel like you are in his home. Went the next day around 11 and the day crew (patrons and staff) are equally awesome. Matt was there again! Only bummer is that I live in the East Coast. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Stopped in on a whim and was greeted promptly. Had the 1/2 & 1/2 soup & sandwich combo. Best potato leek soup - ordered another serving! Nice plating on the grilled sourdough cheese - 10/10! I’ve cooked at various restaurants in my 35 yrs - Ric’s is great!“

“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 .“

They used to allow customers to purchase drinks and drink them at the bar, which brought lots of traffic to the area but unfortunately they do not allow that option no more.Susan made our visit to whole foods worth our time. Tremendous customer service ! If I return to Rincón it will be because of “Susan”.“

My server was Payton, she was kind, attentive, and made sure my food and drink order were correct, hot, and that the refill for the drink was always ready! The manager on duty Jonathan, also stopped at my table to ask how the evening was going and also helped make sure our food made it out in a timely manner. Both Jonathan and Payton made this experience memorable and remarkable. 10/10. I am definitely coming back again, mainly thanks to them!!!“

“Ryan M!!! First let me just say his service was great!!! My three year Old spilt, his chocolate milk and without hesitation, Ryan came over with some napkins and a rag and tried cleaning it up. Shortly after my one year-old cousin knocked over his cup of water and there Ryan was again with rags and napkins, ready to clean it up. Every time the kids would drop a crayon Ryan would go find them a new crayon in the color they dropped. Ryan would joke around and talk to the kids every time he was passing by. Between 2 1year-olds A three-year-old a two day old and three adults, Ryan provided excellent customer service. The food was great. The service was even better.“

“SheriMerry have had the honor to perform at The Tower club twice now, for the Channel Islands Yacht Clubs Christmas Party! It’s not only a beautiful place, with awesome views, but the staff and all who are employed there are so helpful and kind. The Tower Club is definitely a great place to have events. SheriMerry approved.. 😎😎“

“No matter how much closer I am to the Ventura location, I will always make the drive to the Camarillo Cronies and it's all because of the amazing service from Salina! She goes above and beyond every single time. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, Salina always makes the experience feel personal and enjoyable.

The food is always a hit. Hot, fresh, and full of flavor but it’s Salina’s outstanding service that truly sets this location apart. If you're choosing between the two, Camarillo is the clear winner. Thanks for always making it a great time, Salina!“

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

“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.“

“Had a great time my first time there. It looked the the kind of place a fight might break out. But everyone was super cool and friendly. Had lots of fun playing pool and drinking beer. They had a great DJ on Saturday night that had the crowd dancing and having a great time.“

“Good vibes always. Great vegan options added to the menu, Flatscreens and comfortable seats to watch sports. Entrance fee for events can be paid by cash or card. Staff and security are great and very friendly.

Vegetarian options: Vegan pizza is delicious!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kiki’s Restaurant, and it was an experience to remember! Their blueberry French toast is simply out of this world. The toast is perfectly golden, with a delightful crispness on the outside and a soft, fluffy interior. The blueberries add a burst of fresh, juicy flavor that elevates the dish to a whole new level. Each bite is a harmonious blend of sweet and tangy, making it an absolute must-try.“

“It was our first time in US and in 24hours working restaurant. We were pleased and surprised about good service, tasty food, warm waitress at 3:30 am. We are Europeans, so portions looked unbelievably big! It was a great experience and I’m waiting for trying it again in other town.

Vegetarian options: I saw vegetarian options, did not try them, I’m not a vegetarian.

Parking: Big parking next to the door“

“Great people good food👏👏👏“

“So my 1st time at this place, pretty surprised to not see it overflowing on a Sunday. It was nice, staff was friendly, but they almost pulled a fast 1 on me. It was early afternoon but i was in the mood for dinner, got a 10 breaded shrimp plate with mashed potatoes with the skin on it, which I'm not fond of, n cheese sticks, n tartar sauce, not the red sauce. They serve me my plate, and my cheese sticks. I started on cheese sticks cause the waitress never brought tartar sauce, she brought the red sauce. Then i look at my shrimp plate n count only 7 shrimps, wtf. Like the cost of food isn't going higer, n you trying to rob me of 3 shrimps, what nerve. Anyway bon appetit to ev1 else.“

“Food was delicious and the service was excellent! I had my favorite, New York Steak!! Also the Butter Cake Dessert we got for our birthday was super yummy!“

“Is the best place to be on a Jueves de Parranda where they bring the best Grupos, Norteños, Bandas and DJ’s . It also host a slew of great Rock, blues, and Hip Hop & Old School bands among the many musical entertainers in Ventura County! You can come for the drinks and stay for the Music!“

“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.“

“Super delicious and a super good champagne 🍾!“
