    May 2024 - Grilled Whole Squid & Rice (INI-WOW VALUE MEAL)
    Lea L.

    Grill City is located inside of Seafood City Supermarket in Oxnard. I've only been inside the store a couple of times & there's always a line at Grill City. Don't let the line steer you away, it goes quick. If you have someone else waiting in line with you, you can go check out what food they have that day, while the other person waits. It makes the line go smoothly if you know what you want ahead of time. Also, if you're new to trying Filipino food, you have some time to google some of the Filipino items if you're too reserved to ask. Haha... It's Cafeteria style, where you wait in line, pick all of your food items & they box it up for you. You can order your desserts & grab drinks too. Then you pay for everything. There's plenty of tables inside to eat there. TIP: It helps to grab a tray when it's your turn to order, especially when ordering more than you can carry. I appreciate the diversity of patrons in line & those that were dining in... I love that the Filipino Culture is finally getting some recognition here!! We ordered 2 Value Meals, which had a choice of Grilled entree + an additional food item. It was more than plenty for the 3 of us to share. They give you a generous serving of rice. We were happy with our order & our bellies were happy & stuffed. The lady who rang us up was cheerful, nice & appeared super eager to be there. We don't get that that often nowadays. I Love how she gave off positive vibes. We need more just like her. Please Keep it up!

    I was so impressed when I walked into Seafood City supermarket. It is clean and has such a wide variety of Asian goods. The mugs are adorable!! The bakery had so many items that I will need to go back to try. After looking around at all the people ordering their food at Grill City, we decided we had to try it. The workers were kind, although be aware that you will have a language barrier with some employees. After much consideration, the menu is extensive, I settled on the pancit and pork skewer. It also came with white rice as a combo meal. The price felt moderate, 12.00 for all that is pictured. Everything was going well until I realized that my pancit had shrimp in it. I am allergic!!! I was disappointed that the sign did not say this was a seafood dish!!! Or at least not translated. What had been a pleasant experience turned into a scare and trying to get benadryl as soon as possible. So because of that I am giving the 4 stars. I will be contacting management to alert them of this very high risk for potential injury to their customers. But overall the food was delicious, the other platters looked tasty and I would like to go back and give it another try, with a friend to translate .

    We waited so impatiently for Seafood City to open and all of its restaurants to open. Naturally we had to stop and eat at Grill City. Delicious, authentic Filipino food. It's not fine dining cuisine, but worth every penny. We got the Whole Grilled Squid Meal with the Adobo Pusit. The squid had a nice char to it with just the right amount of chewiness. Goes very well w/ the vinegar and chili sauce. Huge cafeteria-style dining. Lots of classics - pancit, lumpia, kare kare, crispy pata, etc. And of course, halo halo. Plenty of seating options, and not too busy when we came for lunch during the week. Staff were very efficient. Easy parking. Good time.

There are no fancy contracts, no drama, and no surprises--just a handshake, a date, and a headcount. I tell Wayne when we're eating and how many mouths we need to feed, and he shows up on time, fully prepared, and ready to deliver. That kind of reliability is rare, and it means everything when you're feeding a large group. The food is consistently excellent, the service is smooth, and the whole operation reflects pride, experience, and family values. You can tell this is a family-owned business that genuinely cares about doing things right. When you find people you can trust completely, you stick with them--and that's exactly why we'll continue to use It's in the Sauce for future reunions. Highly recommended without hesitation.

We probably wouldn't have dropped by it if someone hadn't told us about it. The staff was kind, friendly, and gave suggestions when we asked questions about the various meat options. The cash register is right straight in as you walk in. There are communal benches outside and a few high top tables inside, but the restaurant seemed to get a lot of pick up orders. Food came out within 5 minutes on a Saturday at lunch, which I was weary about since it's BBQ - but everything ended up still being hot and juicy. We ended up going with the 3-meat plate for about $30 total. It was enough for 2 people (or 1 really hungry person!). We ordered the brisket, burnt ends, and hot links which came with garlic bread and two sides of our choice - the star of the show was for sure the burnt ends, which were juicy and deeply flavorful. The brisket was moist, which I feel like is hard to find, but I do wish it had more flavor. The hot links were also good but didn't have much nuance either. Next time, we'll definitely save room to try some dessert, which was only $5! If you're in the area, definitely check this place out!

The house-made chili beans were also flavorful and perfectly seasoned. The potato salad was solid and the coleslaw was delicious if you grew up enjoying KFC coleslaw. The meats live up to the high expectations we have for BBQ and it draws large crowds at lunchtime. The cashier at the counter was very friendly and helpful and the meal was brought to the table fairly quickly. The interior 2 dining rooms are spacious and the standout decor is comprised of large TV screens playing an eclectic selection of cartoons, sports and home improvement shows. The focus here is definitely serving up the best BBQ and fixings. We'll absolutely be back to try the ribs, and chicken.

I read somewhere across the street where this Location used to be in that food court is another barbecue place that I didn't get to try unfortunately because I'm pretty loyal to Buster's . it was about 730 on a Monday night and they close at eight so I figured you know what I'll give them a shot. Upon entering the business I could smell some of the meats we're still cooking on the grill so that's a good sign. I need a quick take on the pricing and wow unbelievable that this place at one time sold a tri-tip sandwich for 7.99 and a tri-tip dinner for about 13.99. now the sandwich is 14.99 and the dinner is 19.99.. there's a picture included. You can zoom in and see the prices for yourself but not sure how much I would get. I was starving. I got the dinner and I also got the sandwich. I can also eat the next day or simple some of my was not full. I opted for the potato salad, the coleslaw and the beans on the dinner and the sandwich just comes with tri-tip French bread and a barbecue sauce of your choice or you can get hot version which I avoid. So about 35.00 and I'm headed back to my hotel. I dug into the dinner first and yes, the tri-tip was kind of dry, but would you dip it into the barbecue sauce? It was OK. The beans were OK. I needed some seasoning potato salad. It was great and the coleslaw was just average coleslaw. nothing to write home about the butter. Bread was pretty good portions was it fresh it was warm. Could've been better.. I was given about 4 to 5 slices of tri-tip, which isn't really a lot so I attacked the language and took a few slices off of there and then put the rest away for tomorrow. Overall, it's decent maybe I should've went when it was fresher in the afternoon, but I probably wouldn't recommend going late in the evening as things are being put away and food tends to sit around for a while. can't really blame the price too much because we all know. Beef prices are insane these days but I think you should at least get more portions for the $$$$ you're paying for. on my next visit I head across the street and try the new place if it's still an existence cause we know that food court turns new places over left and right and it could be vacated on my next return..
