    Was in the mood for some classic chili so I had to pull up to the spot. I wasn't in the mood for anything big so I just ordered a Chili bun and some French fries. The service is always good and ambience is good too.

    I have been eating these tasty burgers since the 80's. I have always gotten great customer service and staff is fast friendly that takes care of you right away. Prices are pretty good. I usually never spend more than $15.00 on myself here. Plenty of parking. Great place to stop if you're in the area.

    Old school burger joint that's been part of Oxnard for a very long time. I used to come here when I was a teenager and only ever got the burger and fries. Now that I'm a little older, I had to try the other items on the menu. Boy was I missing out! The Fried burrito and taquitos with cheese were amazing! Yes they are probably not the healthiest but damn they were so good. It's the type of food that you crave in the middle of the night. Next time I'm getting another fried burrito with chili to go along with my double cheeseburger. Perfect! Oh ya did I mention the prices are insanely fair? Food always taste better when it's light on the wallet haha.

    The Chile dog is a must have and also the jalepenos popper ... can't go wrong with the taquitos

    After driving by this place for over 2 decades now, I finally gave Buddy Burgers a try last week. Not being from Oxnard, I came back today for seconds since I was in the area. The burgers aren't too big, but they're honestly just the perfect size imo. Just the right amount of chili to patty and cheese ratio. I've tried the double chili burger and double chili cheese burger and both are very tasty. I also tried the chili bun which consisted of two regular burger buns with mustard and filled with chili. Also tasty! Their chili is really good, which is what made me come back again a week later honestly. Service was fast both times and they have seating out in the back if you want to eat there. I take it to go and I'd recommend coming during the day, as it is not in the best part of town. Definitely gives off that old school vibe feel that's so comforting.

    Good for a hole in the wall joint. Not a fan of the chili burgers but the family loves them . My personal faves are the fries and onion rings. I'll try the hot dog next.

    This has got to be the best and fastest but not too fast...cheeseburger I continue to eat year after year. Everyone here has the best attitude and just so friendly. Buddy burgers in Oxnard-people!! You will not be sorry. Don't get me started on the chilli fries!! This is the spot!

    I have been coming here forever. The burgers are kind of on the small side but I really like the chili dogs... Old-school and tons of meat.

    Can you order a bowl of chili?

    Thir is no bowl of chili but they do sell a 14oz cup of chili

    What are Munchers? and what is inside the burrito and burrito boat?

    Manchers are like tator tots with cheese and bits of jalapeño inside. A burrito boat is almost like a chiclicheese fries but with a burrito instead

    I am not about to stroll into Oxnard and pretend I am some linen-shirted coastal ethnographer with…read morea tote bag full of artisanal certainty. I had never been here before. I was merely a road-battered pilgrim, six hours removed from Oakland, washed ashore near the freeway at the velvet fringe of Ventura County, in that glossy new development called The Collection, where every building looks as though it was approved by a committee whose mission statement was: Let there be ambient lighting and retail optimism. My dinner choices arrived like mildly desperate contestants in a televised pageant. Cheesecake Factory told me the wait would be twenty-five minutes and that they would text me. Reader, I assume that text is now trapped in a ravine somewhere, being nursed back to health by quail. Then there was some steak place whose name dissolved from memory before I finished looking at it. So into Lazy Dog I wandered, hungry, tired, spiritually fragile, and very open to persuasion. And I have to admit: the place has a certain charm. From the back at night, Lazy Dog is weirdly enchanting. The warm lights, the patio glow, the bottles shining through the bar, the whole thing looks like a lodge designed by someone who wanted to seduce exhausted motorists into believing life is still full of promise. Yet the actual entrance is oddly easy to miss. The restaurant is basically playing hard to get. A chain restaurant with mystery. A flirt. A woodland princess in practical shoes. Inside, the vibe is part upscale sports bar, part polished suburban den, part "let's make everyone from picky teenagers to diet-conscious moms to semi-hungover road warriors feel included." Buffalo Wild Wings, but after therapy, better lighting, and a semester abroad. The seating is not what I would call voluptuous. You are not sinking into a cloud of velvet mercy here. But the room is lively, social, and good-humored. It hums in that specific modern way that says yes, you may order tacos, noodles, a burger, or a cocktail with fruit in it, and no one will judge your lack of culinary allegiance. The cocktail situation was fun. I had the raspberry sangria, which tasted less like old-world wine-country sophistication and more like Hawaiian Punch got hired by a vineyard. It was bright, sweet, cheerful, and only slightly ridiculous. A prom queen in a stemmed glass. I did not hate it. I also did not see God. 3/5. Service was reliable, friendly, and sincere, which in today's dead-eyed hospitality landscape feels almost mystical. No fake grandeur, no attitude, no emotional frostbite. Just kind, competent people doing their jobs without making me feel like an interruption in their evening. That deserves respect. The menu is broad enough to make you nervous. Burgers, Italian-ish things, Thai-ish things, tacos, bowls, pizza, noodles, probably a diplomatic treaty if you ask politely. Usually a menu this sprawling suggests culinary panic. But Lazy Dog somehow lands on the right side of chaos. Not transcendent, not revolutionary, but steady in a way that is more useful than many trendier places would like to admit. The fried hard-boiled deviled eggs were the surprise star. In theory, this is the kind of appetizer that sounds like America whispering, "What if we made the picnic more reckless?" In practice: very good. Crispy outside, creamy inside, faintly absurd, and impossible not to admire. 4.5/5. The shrimp tacos were also solid. Bright, fresh, avocado doing its usual California diplomacy, pickled onions bringing color and sass, and the whole plate looking just photogenic enough to make younger foodie civilians feel seen by the algorithm. 4.3/5. The shrimp Thai noodles were decent too. Not an oracle, not a revelation, not the kind of dish that makes monks ring bells in the mountains, but flavorful and more than respectable after a long drive. 3.8/5. That may be Lazy Dog's real strength. It is not trying to be a sacred culinary temple guarded by tattooed sommeliers and fermented foams. It is trying to be open late, fun, dependable, and welcoming enough to make a tired traveler feel the night still has one last good chapter in it. And after six hours in the car, that is not nothing. That is grace with parking. So no, this is not the hidden gastronomic throne of Oxnard. But it is a lively, late-night, good-energy landing pad with charming exterior glow, sincere service, fun drinks, and better food than a cynic might expect. Would I come back? Absolutely. Mostly because Lazy Dog fed me, comforted me, and acknowledged the passage of time, which is more than I can say for Cheesecake Factory. Also, points for being open until midnight, because some places close early as if adulthood itself should have a curfew. Lazy Dog, by contrast, understands the nocturnal needs of the weary, the under-caffeinated, the gossip-prone, and the mildly glamorized freeway drifter still chasing one last decent meal before surrendering to hotel-sheet oblivion.
