50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Ventura

“When Ventura first opened up my wife and I ordered meals to go unfortunately things were a little shaky at the time and the meals were short certain items and some things were correct. After calling Ventura and talking to the manager they agreed that next time we come in the meals would be on them. Well as time goes along some things get lost and today the wife found the receipt and called up the restaurant and talk to the manager his name is Nicholas. Well he did a great job he not only provided the meals for us but he was Very very cordial about it and thoroughly understanding he did a great job he made a lifetime customer with my wife and I and I appreciate his hard work and the good food that comes out of this restaurant thank you“

“The food is so delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant, and the people are very friendly.“

“if you don't go here you are missing out the food is delicious. The staff is great and you can tell the owner has a big heart. Also, remember there is one in Ventura on Main Street next to the movie theater and the other is in oxnard in the collection across from REI enjoy the food“

“I got a juice from here at the farmers market it was a large blue drink. That was Sunday it’s now Wednesday night, I can’t stop thinking about it. It was so good and made me feel healthy too , I drank it all that day. Only reason I give 4 instead of 5 stars is bc it’s really expensive . They told me the large was 15, then they said with tax that’s 17.50$ . This is the first time I’ve paid tax at the farmers market anything else is a solid price, corn is 5.00 flat, nuts are 5$ flat, huge agua Fresca is 10$ flat you get where I’m going with this. It’s delicious however paying 17$ for a drink did hurt. I mean that’s the price of a meal these days. Drink flavor taste etc 5/5 price 2/5.“

“By far best Indian food and restaurant in Ventura tried almost everything on the menu food quality and service is great . They also have South Indian specialties like Satbir masala dosa , and uttapam as well.“

“I gotta say it's was my first time being there to experience the breakfast on the cozy patio. I order the pecan pancakes with crispy bacon and their special syrup so deelish.

“I was overwhelmed with how many options this place had. We got the fried chicken plate, shrimp po' boy and an oreo shake. Our food arrived quickly, but didn't taste (or look) like it was slapped together. Staff was friendly and I appreciated that they had to-go boxes available without having to ask. Very good portions. Thanks for such a wonderful meal. :) If we lived in the area we would definitely become regulars.“

“Pete's Breakfast House What a great way to start the day! This amazing family-owned restaurant truly has it all—warm and attentive service, fair prices, and an atmosphere full of great energy. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed like family. It’s a positive experience from start to finish, where good food feeds the body and the uplifting vibe fuels the mind. A heartfelt thank you to Lindsey, Olive, and the entire wonderful crew for making our day so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back! With gratitude, Tom & Lori Jean Steele“

“Dan closed the brewery down for the Ventura County Sportfishing Club holiday party event. 60-70 members/guests attended. The staff handled the party with aplomb and assured everyone enjoyed the evening. This is some of the best craft beer you can find. The food was amazing and plentiful especially the short ribs. I would encourage a visit for some great beers. And if you are having an event, I would strongly suggest working with these folks. These are some of the nicest people you will find at any establishment in Ventura. I will be a regular.“

“Great food great staff great all around fun place“

“I stepped a little outside my usual food rotation and ended up at Kaapicat Cafe in downtown Ventura—and I’m glad I did.

I went with the paneer dosa, and honestly, it felt like having dessert for lunch in the best way possible. Warm, flavorful, spicy, and just one of those meals that hits right away.

I showed up about 20 minutes before closing (at 1:40pm on a Thursday), so things were already winding down. The outdoor seating had been put away, but I was still able to grab my food and sit over at the tables next door at Moby’s on Main, which worked out just fine.

It feels like one of those places that would be great to hang out if you catch it earlier. There’s a bit of an artistic vibe in the decor and the way it’s set up. The interior has those classic old red bricks that are part of the downtown Ventura scene, and I appreciate that they didn’t cover them up with some other type of wall finish.

They’re displaying artwork from a local artist, which I always appreciate as I’m a local artist myself. It adds to that relaxed, creative, vibrant downtown feel that I enjoy in spots like this. I’m always happy when a place supports the local art scene.“

“Hands down BEST sushi in Ventura! We come here at least once a week. Highly recommend parking along the street, catching sunset on the beach, then coming here for dinner. Although everything I’ve ordered here has been excellent, my very favorites are the Avocado Bomb (the best I’ve ever had) and the Sushi House Roll. The staff are always very welcoming, friendly, 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! 😊🎶🤘🏼“

“A hidden gem on Main Street. We finally tried this place and were super impressed with the quality of the ingredients, the consistent (yes we have come here more than a few times and gotten the same thing) preparation, great and friendly staff, and really bright and welcoming space. All which make Edenic a must go place. One smoothista (basically a smoothie mixologist) gave us a suggestion so good we have been reluctant to try other menu items.“

“Had some of their delicious yogurt on a hot day on my work break...the boss took the crew here...I would of never considered a froyo place but I'm soooo glad she took us! It was so refreshing and perfect. I have gone back on my own and the same things...Yummy! A definite craving of mine for sure! Generous amount and great unique flavors!“

“Love the Báhn mi sandwiches here. I always get the grilled tofu and it’s great - generous amount of tofu and delicious fresh bread. Service is excellent, and their new expanded shop is amazing. Lots of tables to eat inside and nice decor. Recommended 👍👍🫶“

“I live in Branson,MO but when I come to CA. I have to eat there as much as possible.“

“The best place ! I recommend ❤️🍺“

“Great option of sitting up on their deck. Double check hours it’s open before you go. W tippers next door you can’t beat the great local vibe to hang out and enjoy the drink and food.“

“Delicious ice creams, lots of flavors, old ice cream shoppe feel.“

“We tried this place for breakfast on our first day on vacation, and we had to come back the next day because we loved it so much!

Today I got Açaí/chia/coconut base w/passion fruit & granola, with banana & mango, almond butter & date drizzle, goji berries, bee pollen & almond toppings. My husband and 3 kids got whatever they wanted (the best!). My 6yo only wanted açaí, granola, honey, & bee pollen, so you can go really simple or complex! It is really similar to chipotle or cafe rio with all of the delicious options. We also got 3 empanadas: beef, mushroom, & samosa. Great food, great service.

My only complaint is that we're visiting from the IE, and there is no Ubatuba near our home.“

“I read reviews on the place and knew I needed a taiyaki cone! Super cute place, friendly staff and tasty treats!“

“Wow. WOW WOW WOW! this place deserves it all good was made with love and care the owner was beyond attentive you can tell he cares so much about his craft and his people. I got the Filet Mignon and it melted in my mouth it was so flavorful and not too strong on the sauce it danced on my mouth. The atmosphere was very intimate. if you have an anniversary or date night please do yourself a favor and come here. It is on the expensive end, but you get every single dollar worth of food, every single dollar worth of service. I cannot recommend this place enough“

“found this truck open late after a concert and it was still super busy at 11 pm .... lots of locals so I knew it would be good...it was actually GREAT, the tacos at this truck were quite possibly the best I've ever had in my life!!! yummy salsa too , fresh churros and really friendly staff. If I'm lucky enough to visit Ventura again I'll definitely go back to this place!!! thank you !!!! 10/10“

“Maggies has been our family go to for mexican food for I dont even know how many years now. Their carne asada, bean rice & cheese burrtitos are favs but corn burritos are too. Its a toss up at times lol so we sometimes get the asada burrito + corn burritos & share.
Hot sauce could make anything taste good haha because its so tasty with just the right amt of heat
Easy location & staff are always so nice. Our family loves their food so much we even used them for catering my sons rehearsal dinner😁“

“Great brews , food , and music“

“The spicy cheese fries are amazing!! So are the burgers and onion rings. My new favorite burger place 😊 And the staff is wonderful.“

“The OHS class reunion of 72, 73,74 chose this location and was a perfect fit for all of us. Plenty of parking, nice areas to sit and chat nice scenery to enhance your visit. Service staff were great.. enjoy!!!“

“I absolutely love the food here! Good thinly sliced gyro meat and delicious dipping sauces to go with a fresh salad. Sometimes takes a while to get food, but very much worth the wait and always hits the spot! I recommend calling in your order.“

“We Recommend Everything!“

“We were visiting from out of town, staying at an Airbnb across the street looking for a way to spend the night. The staff here had a way of making the whole place feel like a big, warm common ground place for people of all types. It’s just such an easy-going, wonderful vibe. I was reminded why I love playing pool so much for the first time in a long while, and I've played all across bars on the west coast! It was so cool just hanging out and learning from others who love the game as much as I do. It’s a rare thing to find a place that feels this genuine and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Great spot to meet up with friends. Food trucks there most nights, different ones, so you can grab a bite. Great bartenders, always friendly, indoor and outdoor seating - no reason to let any rain slow you down. And, very important, you gotta try the pickle beer! Its only available one day each week. You'll have to go in and ask when that is...“
