“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.“

“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. 😋“

“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 .“

“Came with a party of 11 and it was delicious. Still gave it 5 stars even though the kitchen only forgot my meal and it was an extra 30-40 minute wait for me because the waitress brought my food and told me that it was ridiculous it took so long so they took it off the tab! It was the professional thing to do and there was no need to ask for some kind of compensation.

We all ordered different kinds of things: chicken club sandwich, fries, Brussels spouts, tater tots, burgers, prime rib cheesesteak, chipotle chicken sandwich, mahi tacos, & steak tacos. We all enjoyed our meals and it was delicious, would come back here again! Thank you!“

“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!“

“Best burgers we found in all of Ventura County. The quality and flavor of the meat alone is off the charts! Reasonable prices, friendly and prompt service, and nice place to eat out with the family. Lots of great health non-burger options as well. If you're visiting from out of town, go ahead and get your In-N-Out, I understand. But for your next meal, your next hankering for a burger, look no further.“

“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.“

“We went there yesterday to celebrate the 85th birthday of my sister. We were a party of 8, which included her 3 sons. We each enjoyed our specific orders, service was prompt and everyone we dealt with was attentive. What really stood out, though was the attentive and exceptional service we got from our waitress, Jennifer. She was always cheerful, moved fast, and what impressed me the most was how she constantly checked if we needed anything, and she was there with refills for our drinks even before we can ask for one! Wow, I was super impressed! I had never seen a waitress that awesome in any of the restaurants I’ve eaten, here in the US or even abroad! Way to go, Jennifer! I hope your employers know how lucky they are to have you!“

“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.“

“This Oxnard - Collection location is AMAZING!!! They are so attentive to customers. They make sure the customer is taken care of, the kids are served fast, the food comes out fast and hot. You feel the love for customer service here. WILL IS AN AMAZING WAITER. He is extremely friendly, extremely helpful and goes out of his way. I highly recommend this location for the best customer service.“

“💯 for sure the best 💕💯💯💯💕💕💕“

“Sheila's is the epitome of fine dining in Camarillo! 🌟 Celebrated my partner's anniversary there and it was top notch. Impeccable service, mouthwatering appetizers, and a dinner that blew us away. We will definitely be back for more! 👌…“

“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.“

“Good Salad. 🥗. Very clean inside friendly staff good chocolate chip cookies“

“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.. 😎😎“

“Super delicious and a super good champagne 🍾!“

“como siempre comida rica !!! y un un super servicio de la mando de "gaby" !!! 🙏🙏🙏 mil gracias por atendernos siempre con una gran actitud !! y calidad humana!! !!! 🙏🥳🥰“

“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 can you say about this place? There is no better Sports Restaurant around. Great food, people, and sports.“

“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.“

“Went to eat at 12:40 AM after getting back from a long trip and the waiter his name was Diamonte served our food he was a fantastic. Young man and very polite!!!! He was a pleasure to see after a long tiring trip!!!!!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“
