    I had the day off and was starving after running errands! I decided to sit at the bar and received the best service. Such kind staff. I got my usual - Denver Omelette ( sub bacon ) with sourdough bread and a dune coffee. The portion was huge . I literally had leftovers for two days . I felt like it was never ending! It was busy on a Friday but I feel it usually is. I didn't get corner cakes this time but next time for sure ! I love Art's ... it's color scheme and decor. Prices are reasonable and the quality is amazing !!!

    World Famous Cinnamon Roll!!!!

    We passed by on the weekend and there was a crowd waiting outside. We decided to try again early on Monday morning. Thank goodness, we got a table quickly. This is a quaint restaurant with a very friendly staff. We were first introduced to this lovely cafe last year on a visit to my daughter. We loved the food then, and were happy to make another visit. I had the cinnamon roll last time and again at this visit- to share with the table. I got the corner cakes this time. It was delish! I think I will make my visits here an annual occurrence. I'd like the frequency to be a higher number, however I live 2,500 miles away and an ocean apart.

    We brought our grand children and adult children for lunch... And we're pleasantly surprised!! The servers were efficient and very helpful! They worked well together and brought our food even when it was very busy. The restaurant was clean and there were seats available inside and outside. There were booths and table options. The bathrooms were clean as well. We will plan to be back!

    Everyone was very friendly. We were greeted with a smile. The front parking lot is small, but plenty of parking in the street. The restaurant was clean. Plenty of seating, however, they were busy I would try to get there earlier next time we go. Great menu. I have to come back for the chilaquiles and the mimosas. The Corner Cake was delicious (so good that my son that "wasn't hungry" ate most of it ) Fun event, great location.

    The food! The service! What an amazing experience we had. A little hard to find and parking can be an issue but it's well worth the effort. They were super busy when we arrived but we were seated and drinks served within 10 minutes. We loved Art's so much we came back the next day. 5 stars all the way! And it always feels good to support a small business

    A tasty chilaquiles... just brush the bizarre onions off to the side. Great hash browns too!

    A follow-up visit was nowhere as near as good as the first one. Brought the family, regrettably. Hash browns were either undercooked and greasy or over-panned to death to the point there were burnt. The biscuits underneath the country breakfast were abysmal. Sausage patty was also overcooked and burnt. As usual the Yang to my Yin presents its ugly head every second visit I go to any food establishment. The breakfast sandwich was good however but when you balance everything three stars is just about right and probably won't be back coming from so far just for this.

    Country Fried Steak

    Lovely patio seating made for great ambiance. The service was good. I got the country fried steak and didn't care for it...it didnt have much flavor. I mostly ate the toast that came with amaaaaazing jam/jelly! That stuff was fire! Friend didn't care much for her scramble. The chili verde was every ones favorite but it wasn't hitting the spot. This is a place we would come back for drinks. Huuuuuge mimosas.

    Breakfast Burger

    Came Saturday morning. While there was a long line, our party of 2 was seated immediately at the bar. The bar only has alcohol, no cold coffees unfortunately. Inside of the cafe is crowded and loud, but gorgeous. All of the staff seem happy to be there and are good at their jobs. Cinnamon roll - loved it! I loved how there were 0 firm parts, it was completely soft throughout. It's not the best cinnamon roll I've had in my life, but it was really good. It's on the lighter side when it comes to flavor, but I enjoyed that bc it doesn't make you feel sluggish . This cinnamon roll was a nice pick-me-up and was made with love! Breakfast burger - very juicy and quality ingredients but the meat itself was bland. Like it wasn't seasoned . Spicy Mexican Benedict- the hollandaise was good, but I'm hesitant to actually call it a hollandaise. It's an entirely new sauce. The chorizo was great. The o'brian potatoes were my favorite part. Overall a solid dish I'm not sure I'd return but I would come back for a takeout order of the cinnamon roll! This place is really nice but I think it would be better for drinks. They have an extensive breakfast cocktail menu and would make a great spot for those looking for some daytime drinks

    Cinnamon Roll
    Autumn B.

    I came to Art's specifically for their homemade cinnamon roll and it did not disappoint. The inside was oh so ooey gooey and the frosting had that quality homemade consistency - not the sometimes stale flakiness that you get elsewhere. Along with that I got a side of hash browns which wasn't anything special but still a good breakfast staple. Our waitress served us quickly and was very friendly. The inside and outside was super cute like modern diner vibes, and the colors were everything. They have an outdoor seating area which looked nice but it was pretty warm that day so we opted to sit inside. I love a good patio area though so I will definitely take advantage of that next time.

    I know this sounds crazy, but I had never been to this restaurant, even though it's just a short walk from my house. Now that I've been there, I'm so glad I finally went! The restaurant is much bigger than I imagined. The service was amazing; all the waitresses were incredibly attentive and helpful. The food was fantastic! My family and I ordered their corner cakes, waffles, chicken, kids' cheeseburger, and chicken strips with fries. I tried a little bit of everything, and it was all delicious. Another thing I'd like to mention is their generous portions! We could have ordered less food, but we enjoyed every bite.

    Biscuit, ordered at table next me. Looks Good!

    Comfortable clean inside, good variety menu selections. Coffee don't taste right....had weird aftertaste. Asked for flavor creamer to mask taste. Chile Verdr generous portion, meat tender, delicious. Asked for Soft scrambled eggs, was hard and dry. Rye toast excellent, w homemade raspberry jam, delicious not overly sweet. I ordered Soft Scrambled Eggs, gave me Hard Dry Eggs. Asked for replacement and it came perfectly soft scrambled, thanks. Not the server's fault. First time coming to Ventura from Los Angeles, Art's Corner came up on yelp search. Glad I came.

    Lovely ladies .. thanks again Stephanie

    Another really good time and great meal at Art's Corner Cafe My girlfriends and I got together for Valentine's Day brunch and mimosas Stephanie took really good care of us. A couple of the girls had never been there before, but I have a feeling they will be returning... Everything that could go right did go right

    Breakfast at Art's Corner Cafe in Ventura this morning with family and Benji My wife recommended this place, and I can see why she likes it We ordered the Chilaquiles, Famous Corner Cakes, Fried Chicken & Waffles, coffee, and fresh orange juice. If you like spicy food, I would definitely recommend ordering the red sauce for the Chilaquiles. The coffee was simple diner-style coffee, but honestly perfect for a cool Ventura morning. The orange juice tasted fresh and refreshing. The Famous Corner Cakes were thin, soft, and slightly crispy around the edges. The Fried Chicken & Waffles had crispy chicken with fluffy waffles, and the Chilaquiles were flavorful and filling with creamy avocado and eggs. The outdoor patio was dog-friendly and relaxing, which made the breakfast even better. Benji seemed to enjoy the outing too Nice local breakfast spot with friendly service and a comfortable atmosphere. Definitely a place I would come back.

    Is this place really closed forever? They said it was closing for good on October 16th? But I keep seeing ppl parked in the parking lot on the weekend....

    They have transitioned to the new ownership and are NOT closed at this time. They were closed for 5 days a few weeks ago before the sale was final to allow the staff some well deserved time off. They staff have all been working 6-7 days a week…

Located currently inside the Ventura Theatre, you will find parking in the rear parking lot. Only open on the weekends, I had to plan my visit and stopped by on a Saturday 20 min after they opened. They had a line out the door! I took this as a GREAT sign. After waiting in line for 10 min we placed our order. We got a 1/2 pound of Tri Tip and Brisket, one sausage link, a side of Mac and cheese, brisket gravy mashed potatoes and chili beans. This ran us $70 bucks and it WAS WORTH IT. The brisket was the star of the show as it was very flavorful and smoky and cooked to perfection. The tri tip was good, just needed a bit more seasoning/salt for my liking. But it was cooked to perfection. The Mac and cheese was phenomenal as well along with gravy and mashed potatoes. Over all, would have to rate this place a 8 out of 10. Make sure you stop by and support this local buisness. Every penny spent here was worth it and I already can't wait to come back again. Thanks Ruff House BBQ for the great lunch, till next time.

This bright blue food truck has always caught my eye and I finally made it in for lunch. Being a food truck, the vibes are super casual and laid back. You place your order, then grab a seat at one of their picnic benches and soak up the sunshine. The staff were incredibly nice, and the sweet little touches like the handwritten note on the to go bag were just too cute. We love those kinds of vibes! Here's what I got: Single Smash Burger: A solid and delicious smash burger! The bun was pillowy soft, the patty had a nice crust, and I'm always a sucker for cheese, thin sliced lettuce, and a thousand island style sauce on a burger. No frills, just super satisfying and done right. Cosmo Fries: Honestly my favorite bite of the day! Loaded fries topped with cheese, onions, burger patty, and their pink sauce...absolutely insane. SO good. I loved the skinny fries they use, and since everything was made fresh to order, the fries stayed extra crispy even with all the toppings. My biggest regret is passing by this food truck for so long without stopping. That was genuinely a stellar smash burger and fries combo, with the added bonus of such friendly and welcoming staff. Next time you're walking around Downtown Ventura and want a casual outdoor bite, definitely make a stop at Cosmos Smash Burgers. (Located at the Channel Islands Juice Co. parking lot just fyi).

You've really gotta try the Strawbanero (Strawberry-Habanero) sauce, as it was a sweet and savory bite that had all three of us fighting over. * Buffalo Barrels (aka Tater Tots) were worth the $5 upgrade. But, I'm somewhat of a Tater Tot junkie, so take that advice for what it's worth. * Fries were fantastic, as well. * Short Rib Melt was delicious, but very, very rich.
