Beer Pressure…read more Classic American Pub located in Ventura that features over one hundred beers on tap and classic American comfort foods in a surprisingly family-friendly environment. The Good: * Beyond all the beers on tap, they also have a full bar. * Service was friendly and pretty good overall. * Secret menu for both food and drink. Shhhh...! * Their wings were fantastic! 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. It could've used a little relief like some pickles either on it or on the side. The Meh: * They do have their own parking lot, but it is smallish and can fill up fast. There is some street parking available, as well. The Ugly: * They had a lot of beers that were out of commission, including several that I was pretty excited to try. =/ Conclusion: Great spot to get your suds and spuds!

We were celebrating retiring teachers and staff! The service was fabulous! Shout out to Hannah! I am 96.4% sure that is her name. Smiling, always around to take orders, make suggestions, clear plates, etc. I thought she was terrific. The drinks were great. The table where I sat raved about them. The food was yummy. I loved the caesar salad and the onion rings. The tacos and chips were the bomb as well. The cookie with ice cream dessert was an incredible surprise. The menu description did not do it justice. It was a large chocolate chip cookie cooked in a small cast iron skillet with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top. Scrumpdidlicious I can see Yard Bar & Grill as part of my new fun thrift store routine. Shop til I drop and then reward myself with a beverage and that fab cookie skillet ice cream thingy. In summary, if you have a group celebration call the Yard Bar & Grill. You will be so pleased. They even let us decorate! #grateful

I saw that they had Yukejeon on their menu and I had to get it. I have been craving it ever since I got back from Korea and it was as if I never left. I recommend you give it a try. Also, since this was my first time I wanted to try something else and the worker, Judy was extremely helpful. She told me all the popular items that people have been ordering lately and I've decided to go with the Soy Garlic Fried Chicken. I'm so glad she recommended it because it was one of the best Korean fried chicken I've had in a long time. Now the inside of the restaurant itself is another great factor. Has a nice modern interior design with a nice shade of yellow. Exceptionally clean and had great Korean music playing. Overall, from walking in to leaving, one of the best services Ive had in a while. If you live in the area of Ventura, I highly recommend you go check this spot out. I'd give this spot more than five stars if I could!

First of all- Ambiance- this Toppers/Transmission location combines architectural excellence and Industrial Design with great Beer and Pizza offerings. We go for the food and enjoy the Rooftop deck and Ocean views. The servers are friendly and efficient. This location gets our business for the unique outdoor dining experience and for their pizza variety. I personally love the Transmission frozen Hard seltzers with a few slices of Toppers pizza on a beautiful Ventura afternoon.

First off, they have an old school salad. It's sadly not unlimited, but for $8.20, you can get a regular salad bar bowl (1 bowl, 1 trip). The salad bar was slaying - it was well maintained and offered every imaginable topping. Perfect salad bar if I've ever seen one. We also started with the chips and onion dip ($6.15). They use freshly made potato chips and serve it with a house-made caramelized onion dip. The dip is so light in texture and pairs perfectly with the crispy potato chips. It's the type of dip you'd like to meet during football season. For pizza, we ordered a Hawaiian Heat ($25.55 for a medium). Unlike other Hawaiian renditions we've eaten before, the base of this pizza is a creamy garlic sauce. It's then topped with Canadian style bacon, chicken in bbq sauce, bacon pieces, red onions, pineapples & jalapeños. This pizza is topping heavy and I am absolutely here for it. The crust has a nice chew which I really enjoyed. The Toppers Hawaiian Heat is very much a Hawaiian pizza on steroids. I can see why people love Toppers. I had an incredibly fun dinner for my last night in Ventura's. Highly recommend checking Toppers out if you happen to be in the area.

My family and I were visiting the area to check out the mission in downtown. We wanted a simple and…read morelaid-back place to get a bite to eat being that we had our 3 year old us. After a quick check on yelp, this place came highly recommended. I was a little bit worried when I arrived. We were the only people in the entire restaurant. My wife and I were seated quickly. I did appreciate that the menu was not overly complicated. It made it easy to make our selections. They also did offer happy hour specials during the week. I opted for the double Smashburger and fries. The Smashburger comes with their signature sauce, which you can order at a few different spice levels. The girl at the counter said that normally people go with the regular spice level so I opted for that. When my burger and fries arrived, I was quite surprised at the portion sizes. My basket was filled with french fries and my burger was pleasantly large. In regards to the flavor I do have to say this was probably one of the best tasting burgers I have ever had. I didn't want to note that they do use sweet pickles on their burgers here. But it just works with the flavor that they're going for. My wife ordered the "my girlfriend is not hungry" sampler platter. This came with fries, onion rings, pretzel bites chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks. Everything was great tasting. Their onion rings were cooked to absolute perfection. The restaurant itself on the inside is a little bit small so I could imagine on days that they are busy. It might get a little bit cramped. I did also wanna mention that I did like that. They had a changing table in the restroom. That was a nice touch that you honestly do not see at a lot of restaurants even the mainstream ones.

We went to the happy Place eatery on a crazy busy Saturday. We ordered mozzarella sticks, which…read morewere very nice and stringy and my son was very happy with stringy and fun. We ordered the pretzel balls. They were good, but they needed more salt. We also ordered the Philly cheesesteak, OMG! I am a Philly cheesesteak connoisseur and it had this wonderful cheesy hatch sauce. This is my very favorite new Philly cheesecake place out here because there's not a lot of places we can go. We also got the sliders. The sliders had a really nice bun. It came with a smash burger Patty, it has wonderful, caramelized, onions, and sliced pickles. It was a very nice combination and they have the yummy thousand island dressing on there similar to In-N-Out. Derick was are server and was doing awesome, especially considering he was alone on a crazy busy day. The food was great, atmosphere decent. We will be back! I was so glad it was better than my expectations!

Everyone was soooo nice and the food is absolutely amazing!!…read more Made reservation for my mom's bday and was seated right away. You look at the menu and then order everything at the register (inside). They also keep the tab open if you so choose. We ordered the Green Goddess Salad, bread with butter and the three specials. Honestly the third special (melon with chili flakes) was a surprise (I didn't realized I had ordered it when I said one of each special lol no regrets) the best juicy melon I have had in a while. The King Salmon special was perfectly cooked, good amount of fat, not at all dry in the tomato purée sauce. We initially thought the sauce was squash or pumpkin because it doesn't have a strong tomato taste. The pizza special with lamb and chili oil was absolutely amazing. Always order the bread with their house made butter to later dip into any of the other dishes you order. An absolute must. I will say everything on the menu is shareable even the cheesecake as it was a hefty *amazing* slice for dessert. Highly recommend to come check this place out for lunch and dinner!

Everyone working…read morethere was cool and helpful: In fact being new there a very nice employee explained that all the food is made fresh from surrounding farmers market. We made a reservation for 6 on that Friday. We arrived, wasn't too busy, there's seating in what I'd call a long outside alley. There was a trio set up playing music till 6:30, very quiet and relaxing. Inside can get very crowded and it's so small hard to move around. One bathroom so there was a line most of the time. To the food!! Started with an order of fresh bread and an order of olives! So good that could have been dinner. We both ordered from the specials board. Wife had King salmon. Came with a small amount of veggies, in a yellow tasty sauce. I had a lamb pizza. It was good, interesting twist on a pizza. You dipped the slices in a chili oil. It was surprisingly goood. The reason why it didn't get 4 stars. I didn't get my pizza till after my wife finished her meal. I had to go ask where it was. I was told it's coming right up. 10 minutes after that I got it. No real apology or reason given , just dropped off the pizza and said enjoy. That kind of ruined the dining experience , us not eating our meals together.

The laid-back atmosphere, indoor and outdoor seating, and dog-friendly patio make it easy to settle in, and the full bar with 24 rotating taps of independent craft beer is a huge bonus. My go-to slices are the Fungus Amungus and the Dr. Pepperoni, but the real surprise is the Caesar salad. I know... ordering a salad at a pizza place sounds questionable, but I'm obsessed. The service is always friendly and efficient, and the quality for the price is hard to beat. Whether you're stopping in for a quick slice or staying awhile with friends, it's one of those places you'll keep coming back to.

Quintessential California cool…read more.. Coworkers and I stopped in while in town for business... ST was such a cool lil local watering hole. The place is a stones throw from the beach so it gets that nice Pacific Ocean breeze coming through the restaurant which keeps the large doors open... It reminded me a lot of Key West and the bars/restaurants you find on Duvall St. They were slammed for a Monday, the friendly staff fit us into the bar area. ST living up to its name has a great local tap beer selection and nice mixed menu... If you're looking for apps, salads, sandwiches, burgers, seafood, or lighter fare, ST has it all. This is one of those places that you could just sit at all night long, so keep that in mind when visiting - Great Cali beach town pub.
