What a gem!!! We came in on a Saturday, no one else was there but a few ppl came after. He is located in an alley with beautiful art. You can park in the back free parking lot if you don't want to park on the street. After ordering, our food was out in 10-15 min CHEF BURGER - Fresh, flavorful, and masterfully put together. The sweet potato fries are hands down THE BEST sweet potato fries you could ever have. He puts the Habit's fries to absolute shame in every way. CORNED BEEF & CABBAGE - My husband got this and we both loved it. Like LOOOOVED IT. It was a St Patrick's day special but I hope he keeps it as a permanent item!!!!!! SMOOTHIES - So fresh! It was like someone made them at the bar on a beach. He uses real ingredients, not powder and syrups. Prices were fantastic, and the food was even better. I appreciate that he uses real high quality ingredients. I seriously can't wait to come back and try more things! He's been open for 3 years - however he opened just before Covid. I'm so happy he was able to survive that because his food is phenomenal. This will definitely be the next "it" spot in Santa Paula! read more

I grew up in this town. I have since moved away several years ago. Over the years I had heard about this place as one of the small local businesses that has helped revitalize the town a bit. I finally had the chance to eat here after I had some business cards printed. What really stood out to me when I first walked in was the cozy atmosphere and the personal greeting you get from the staff. You could tell this is the kind of place where the staff takes pride in what they do. I ordered a burger with a salad and root beer. I always pay with cash for my meals and I was told I got a discount that day for paying with cash. In all honesty, I believe they deserve every penny with a tip on top of that. My burger had a nice mix of melted cheese and mushrooms and my salad had feta and a side of balsamic vinegar, my favorite. As I ate I had over heard another customer ask about David's well-being. The customer had mentioned that he was a compassionate man who had given them a hand in the past and had cooked for them when they were going through their own struggle. They said he had asked, "what would the people like in this community to eat?" Just by hearing this account, I knew this place was made by a righteous man of character. Character that may seem has disappeared in the world, but David was proof it still exists. I did not have the honor to meet David, but I did have the honor to eat at his restaurant. He was definitely loved and will be missed by the community. Thank you chef for serving the good people of Santa Paula! read more

Epic little hidden gem in Santa Paula. Great food and wonderful customer service. Only outdoor seating right now. Order food at the counter and grab a table. They'll bring food to you pretty quickly. I highly recommend the Cajon chicken avocado sandwich and the onion rings!! Some of my coworkers had the tuna melt, chicken quesadilla and a burger. We were all very happy and full! read more

Excellent catering company. Very delicious pastas, fresh salads, best dressings, and scrumptious appetizers. They provided us with a well organized presentation of the food and very loving customer service. My sister requested her bridal shower food from here, and now I found my go to catering company.

I was stuck on his patty melts because they are so damn good, but I broke tradition and ordered a BBQ bacon burger and that's hands down the best burger I've ever had! Just the bun alone was enough to keep me coming back! I'm dying to try his chicken cordon bleu melt, it looks so good! read more

I love this place! Chef David makes everything from scratch and makes a great presentation I have never been disappointed This is one of Santa Paula's best kept secret places!i I highly recommend them and will definitely come again read more

I have not had a bad experience with this restaurant. I've been coming here for about a year now and this place is consistent when it comes to quality, price, and taste. Try the clam chowder on Fridays/Saturdays, its probably the best in Ventura County. All the burgers I've had are better then what you would buy at a fast food place. This is one of those places that you'll want to try each dish out just because they're unique and you'll be curious about each one. read more

Small hole in the wall, awesome food , I tried the chicken ranch sandwich, will definitely be back for more.

We appreciate great food and will drive a few miles to get it. The guacamole burger was bomb! The Angus burger itself was very special and delicious. My family enjoyed grilled sandwiches. I read in other reviews that the ranch was great. When I ordered; of course I asked for ranch; but did not actually get any. Sad face. That was our only disappointment. Will definitely order again!! read more

Thanks to Chef David and his team for a wonderful job with my father's celebration of life event. The food, service, staffing, presentation and everything was outstanding. The team pivoted when additional guests arrived and made sure we had enough drinks to cover the crowd. We are still getting calls and texts commenting on how delicious everything was and how beautiful the spread was. We were beyond happy with everything. Can not recommend these folks enough. read more
