“We are long time S.Y.V. residents and have enjoyed all the Chumash have to offer, the shows, the casino and especially the food!!! We took good friends there for lunch who have never experienced the Chumash casino> THEY LOVED IT!!! Reservations were easy to make, the host & hostess were very welcoming and we had requested a booth which was reserved and waiting for us! The server was friendly and very accommodating to us and service was fast!!! The food was excellent!!! One party had the Quinoa salad and said it was "the best" she has ever had! 2 other each had the "Cluck Norris" burger that was perfection, chicken very tender, bun toasted just right and the fries...OMG...both sweet potato and regular fries were delicious!!! My husband had the Patty Burger with onion rings, both items perfectly cooked and he ate the whole thing!!! We will be back, maybe during the world serries...which would be exciting with a house full of people enjoying the game!!! Great place and experience beginning to the end!! Thanks!!!“

“The food was excellent but we got the wine paring and our server was off a wine each round which was disappointing so we didn’t get to tase the wine that should have been paired with the courses. There was live music that was just ok. I was looking forward to seeing the farm animals - unfortunately they were in small pens and didn’t have that great of quality of life. Most of the chickens were missing feathers and it was pretty close to being considered animal abuse the small pens that the animals were kept in.“
