Very attentive, kind, and professional Food - I only had the pork eggs benedict, it was A++ cornbread as the base, the pork was very tender and tasty, and the Benedict sauce was great to complement. The cheesy grits were delicious as well. Make sure to try their homemade hot sauce as this made my experience even better. The owner - Tracy. She was there both times that I went and was not only nice in talking with me and my friend, but she worked alongside the servers and the barista's to maintain everybody's service. This place is one you have to go to if you're in Santa Paula. Great ambience, they had New Orleans Jazz playing each time I went. The place was busy with a bunch of locals so it's well known, but everyone worked so well together I never had to wait for anything.

Chips were fine but you guessed it needed salt. The Mac and cheese was definitely my favorite thing here! Needed no salt or anything added! So good!

Seems as if this restaurant doesn't need my help... nevertheless I'm going to say what needs to be…read moresaid because it deserves to be said. West of Orleans is the real deal; an institution that meets, excels, devastates all notions of what Cajun/Creole/BBQ cuisine can or should accomplish to stand out amongst the rest of the competition. And with how high they stand, all should recognize. With a menu as expansive as most, West of Orleans manages to offer their patrons all of the classics seen with most other restaurants of the same variety, but with so much more... But onto the food. It's true to its word. Fresh, delicate, light, harmonious in every sense of the word. Flavorful beyond flavor. The PoBoy was delicious, as the shrimp popped, the remoulade sauce incredible, tangy and sweet but not overpowering. The Jerk Chicken Mac-n-Cheese was the perfect pair between savory and succulence. Not too spicy, not too smoky, just enough of everything. The macaroni held up its half of the bargain as well. Currently planning my next experience here. Stay tuned.

From the moment you walk in, that amazing smell hits you like no other! Marcus, the owner, treated us like you're a regular, even on our first visit. Marcus was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited about the menu. And the food? Absolutely next level. Marcus gave us samples of the chicken gumbo and from the moment it touched my tongue, I was sold. I got a 32 ounce Gumbo and let me tell you, it was plenty. Everything was perfectly seasoned and packed full with some much pride and flavor. You could tell Marcus and his wife are passionate about their business and the product they're putting out. In addition to the chicken gumbo, I got the cornbread with the honey butter. Let me tell you something, I must've died and went to heaven. One of my friends' grandmothers made corn bread back in the day and this made me think of those times. The cornbread wasn't dry and the honey butter just amplified it to the next level. My friends got the brisket po'boys and they were blown away by the flavor. The sandwich was packed full of brisket and was seasoned to perfection. We will definitely be back for another round as this was the best meal we've had in a while. Thank you Marcus!

Extremely disturbing, unsanitary, and unprofessional experience…read more While I was eating at this restaurant, I suddenly realized there were ants all over the seat and the area where I was sitting. There were so many that they actually got onto me and inside my clothing. I believe I was even bitten. I immediately jumped up and started trying to get the ants off me, and I actually had to take off my shirt because ants had gotten inside it. What happened next made the situation even more upsetting. As soon as the employee saw what was happening, she quickly came over and started cleaning the seat before I could properly take pictures showing how many ants were there. Even after she cleaned the area, there were still ants on the seat, and I was able to take pictures of them. I explained how serious and uncomfortable the situation was and specifically asked to speak with the manager. The manager did not even come out to speak with me. Instead, the employee told me that I could tell her what I wanted to say and she would tell the manager for me. I find that extremely unprofessional. If a customer is complaining that ants from your seating area got onto their body and inside their clothes, the very least a manager could do is come out and speak to the customer directly. Their solution was to tell me that they could give me food to go. However, I was there for the all-you-can-eat option, so telling me to take food to go was not an appropriate solution. After discovering ants crawling on me and inside my clothing, I obviously did not feel comfortable sitting back down and continuing to eat. I understand that problems can happen at any restaurant, but how you handle the problem matters. There was no manager willing to come speak with me, no reasonable resolution was offered, and I felt like the situation was being brushed aside instead of taken seriously. I have pictures showing ants that were still on the seating area even after the employee cleaned it. This was an extremely uncomfortable and unacceptable experience, and the lack of professionalism from management made it even worse. Based on my experience with both the cleanliness of the seating area and the way my complaint was handled, I would absolutely not recommend this location.

The chicken, even the breast and tenders, are very tender and the meat and the skin is flavored. Loved the season wedged fries. My only complaint is this is the second time that I've gone to this gas station for this chicken and both times there was something wrong. The first time I went, they didn't have any food. When I went today, there was food, but one of the fryers was broken, and it takes about 30 minutes to fry up a new batch of chicken. I believe I was told that the single greaser they had the grease was being changed. So I was stuck with the pieces that had been sitting under the heat lamp. And I wouldn't have minded so much except for these were the last few pieces. Still Hella good though!

I stopped in to grab takeout for my husband and me and was told the order wouldn't take long. The server was helpful and answered all my questions, so I felt good about the order: clam chowder, half-order lemon pepper wings, a catfish dinner with an extra side of shrimp, and grilled salmon with two sauces on the side (and cooked medium). After waiting 45 minutes--which already felt excessive for this order--I decided to check the food. I'm glad I did. The salmon was overcooked (well done instead of medium) with the sauce already poured on top. The lemon pepper wings had barely any seasoning, like it was added after they were already dry. And they completely forgot the shrimp. The server took everything back to fix it, but that took another 30 minutes. By then, my husband's catfish (and for $19, you only get one filet) and his cheddar side were cold, and the Caesar salad was wilted and warm. When the salmon finally came back--after another 20 minutes--it was still overcooked, now rock hard, and completely unseasoned. It felt like they were relying on sauce to do all the work, but even that missed the mark. The shrimp also tasted like pre-packaged frozen, not fresh. Nearly $90 later, we didn't enjoy any part of the meal. I'd suggest sticking to the boil if you come here, because based on this experience, everything else fell short.

Got shrimp po'boys (great fry in the shrimp, tasty sauce, soft/fresh bread). Sandwiches were huge! Also got a fried shrimp plate and a Mac and cheese for the kids. They loved it! Tried the gumbo and was happily surprised by the whole blue crab (hard to pick the crabmeat from claw without a cracker and all the slippery gumbo goodness but still Yum!) Would definitely visit again! Great food, perfect service. Thank you.

This was an absolutely great lunch!!…read more I ordered a Catfish Po'Boy combo with the Jambalaya, and while it seems a little spendy for a sandwich--it is absolutely worth it. For one, the sandwich was clearly made to-order, with crisp, hot, and well-seasoned catfish. It was also large enough to split (which I absolutely did not do). The jambalaya was pleasantly spice-forward and very tender. While I waited, Marcus and Ray hooked me up with tastes of the gumbo and red beans and rice. I am definitely going to need a full order of those red beans and rice next time I come--the ham hock in there was especially smoky and delightful. It took about 15 minutes to make the sandwich, so I suppose if you're in a huge rush, I'd probably call ahead, but since I wasn't, I got to enjoy the music and the samples to my heart's content. It's really great to see something new to Santa Clarita, and this is really executed quite well, with attention to details like good bread and pickles.
