Next time I’m in the area for breakfast I’ll be back.“

“My wife’s comfort food was so good she eat much more than the small portions she normal eats. My shrimp street taco was as good as I have ever had.“

“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.“

“You can never go wrong with The Cheesecake Factory. We’ve done some birthdays there for adults and kids. We waited recently for an hour. That’s reasonable for a weekend night. Go during the week for faster seating. And I haven’t been, but I’ve also heard Happy Hours are also an optimum time to go for time and price. Our recent meal was pricey. But you get absolutely what you pay for in the best way possible. On this particular recent night we went, there was seasoned staff, staff-in-training, and hands-on management all of whom were there to guarantee our experience was enjoyable and memorable. Which it most certainly was. Every member of our party was stuffed to the gills. And we had strong variety across our order spectrum from soups and salads to appetizers to entrees to the breads and of course the desserts. The portions are ALWAYS more than generous. And we can’t wait to eat the take-out that we couldn’t finish. Definitely do make this a dining destination. Especially The Cheesecake Factory @ the Oxnard location!“

“Awesome Smokey juicy meaty heaven, get you some now!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.💯💯💯“

“Loved the staff, they're dog friendly and so nice. The banana shake was out of this world!“

“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 .“

“Food was average. Brussels were not that great. Nachos were pretty good as usual. Buffalo pizza was meh, have had much better. Hummus dish and chicken strips were pretty good and I would recommend them. Service was solid up front. But went missing after our apps arrived. Had to wave down two runners and a different server for additional service. Drove out fro TO. Don’t think we need to do that again. But if you are in the area? Definitely give it a shot, wide menu.“

“I’m very upset with all the changes that whole foods has changed since Amazon purchased the company. 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”.“

“What a wonderful find in Camarillo. Finney's has a positive upbeat ambiance and a very hearty menu of delicious selectables. Jenna the Assistant General Manager came by and welcomed us to assist our amazing server Danielle. Jenna took our drink order and we both decided on the guava margarita 🍹 which was fantastic. We both ordered the chicken bowl with rice, Pico corn, cucumber, avocado and nothing but quality ingredients. Danielle brought out the dishes and was very kind, attentive and professional. Jenna was also quite a wonderful person and very professional, kind and friendly. Kudos to the tag team approach! The food was fresh and tasty and we will certainly be back. A nice selection of craft beers 🍻 Highly recommended.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Remedios was our server and it was a wonderful experience.

This is one of the best ihops I've been to, we all felt full, the prices were great, and the eggs and omelets only this place has are great!

This is probably going to be our to go IHOP, it's so much better than our previous IHOP!!“

“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.“

“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👏👏👏“

“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!“

“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.“

“💯 for sure the best 💕💯💯💯💕💕💕“

“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!“
