    Good n hot!
    Rebecca G.

    We love it here! A fantastic mom & pop local community breakfast/lunch spot! Great location, awesome service! And we love their dog friendly patio! Super busy here (as always) and everyone enjoyed their food, I had to send back my breakfast sandwich back for a redo because the cooks burned the bread so bad, squished thin as paper, burned to a crisp and I do not even know how they allowed it to leave the kitchen like that? But our server was a doll and had them remake it for me and it was awesome! I really hate sending food back but this? It needed to be fixed. Anyway I will always highly recommend dining here! Back soon!

    Breakfast with a Side of Beach Vibes! We stopped by Hollywood Beach Café for breakfast after a morning walk along the beach from the hotel next door, and honestly, it felt like a reward for waking up early! Atmosphere: This place is charming in the most "coastal California" way. It's bright, beachy, and full of good vibes. There's indoor and patio seating. Food: I had the Smoked Salmon Benedict , and WOW, it hit all the right notes. The portions are generous (but not coma-inducing), and the ingredients tasted fresh. Coffee is Italian, was strong, hot, and refilled often, which is a win in my book. My friend got the huevos rancheros and wouldn't stop talking about it between bites. Tips: Get there early! It fills up fast, especially on weekends. Street parking is nearby and usually easy in the mornings. Great spot for families, couples, or solo breakfast dates with your book. Bottom Line: Whether you're a local or just beach-hopping for the weekend, Hollywood Beach Café is a must-try breakfast stop. Casual, delicious, and close to the sand, it doesn't get more California than that. Would I come back? Absolutely.

    Awesome food, service and ambience! It's noisy so be prepared but it's fun and they have a TV. It also has an outdoor patio where you can dine with your dog & it's less noisie

    Came here for a quick breakfast on a Monday morning. The place was busy, but we were seated immediately. The food came out quickly and was delicious. Parking might be difficult, but it's worth it! Definitely bringing our dog with us next time. Your classic, bustling breakfast diner vibes with friendly staff.

    Sooooo happy to have stopped by. This spot used to be Mrs. Olson's in its glory. One of my faves back in the day . This spot though is top top on my list. Sooooo good and the service is amazing. Top notch! We sat in the patio and thankful there were heaters. Such a cozy area. I got the Denver Omelette but swapped the ham for bacon. I asked for the hash extra crispy and they delivered. Delicious. There was an issue with my dish and Brook was kind to fix it immediately. No rolling of eyes , no attitude or frustration , just kindness. My friend loved her meal too. Perfect for breakfast and then a walk along the beach . I will be back and bring more friends! This location is perfect . There's no beautiful views but it is perfect ( as mentioned) for a walk along the beach after or before some grubs. I also want to mention that I love the small upgrades they've done since Mrs. Olson's left. More of my vibe. Their cute beachy ceiling fans are such a plus.

    It was a hot summer day and I wanted beach air. I'd never been to this establishment, but the location and reviews were good. Tezra was our pleasant and hard-working server. We decided to share the salmon Benedict with the addition of avocado at the suggestion of Tezra. It was outstanding with perfectly poached eggs, fresh spinach and cedar-plank smoked salmon, with plenty of homemade Hollandaise sauce. I just wasn't crazy about the potatoes with peppers. I give this place one whole star just for having a waitlist I can get on prior to arriving.

    Wanting a brunch by the beach with an outdoor patio. Hollywood Beach Cafe in Oxnard seemed to be a good fit. Plus they have a call ahead waiting list. Labor Day at one PM we thought there might be a long wait. They did have our waiting list reservation but it was no problem at that hour - lots of empty tables on the patio and inside. Jo Jo, our server, came by right away to get our beverage order. They have a fairly large breakfast and lunch menu so we needed a few minutes to decide what to get. I ordered a build your own omelet ($20) with carmelized onions, mushrooms and sausage with a side of tater tots. DELISH!!! My wife got the Ventura County breakfast with sunny side up eggs, ham, and breakfast potatoes. We ended up sharing the potatoes (the tater tots were the better of the two). Good food, good service. The ambiance on the patio was a bit of a disappointment (a walled off area so no beach ambiance). They add 2 percent for "back of the house" fee. Just $0.87 here - but an annoyance but not a deal breaker.

    Way too expensive and not very good alcoholic drinks unfortunately. The food was good but not to die for and not worth the price. I think I paid $40 including tip for an eggs Benedict and espresso martini that I honestly had to force myself to drink because it just tasted super bitter and not right. Service was great though which is why I rated 3 stars. Our waitress was super friendly and chill, she offered to take our drinks back since we didn't seem to like them but we refused as we had already drank some of it and were planning to leave soon at that point. But the fact that she still offered showed great customer service! This restaurant is literally right on the beach, like you walk out and the beach is maybe 5 feet away or less haha. Parking is awful though cause it's of course limited due to the beach being right there and it being in a residential location. They do have tons of seating inside and I liked how dog friendly they are, I believe they offer food for dogs! And there were cute pictures of dogs also. Overall not terrible but I won't be coming back.

    Really enjoyed my time here but wish they could take advantage of the proximity to the beach. The food here is high quality classic diner fare. Servers are incredibly attentive and make for a dependable spot with a group. Dog friendly! Check out the special pup menu.

And let me tell you, when you're heading to an island for kayaking and hiking, securing food starts to feel less like lunch planning and more like wilderness survival strategy. The online ordering process, though, gave my husband a minor technological character-building experience. Not especially intuitive or user friendly. Then, on the morning of the trip, we weren't entirely sure where the lunches would actually appear. Tiny scavenger hunt energy. Thankfully, they were waiting for us at the ferry office, and we both immediately took the same relieved breath: "Excellent. We shall not perish on the island." The sandwiches themselves were genuinely delicious. I had the Caprese, my husband had the turkey baguette, and both were fresh, flavorful, and substantial enough to fuel actual adventure instead of just delaying hunger by 20 minutes. Each lunch box also came with chips, Fuji water, and a chocolate chip cookie that quietly stole the show. Soft, delicious, and exactly the kind of reward you want after hauling yourself around an island pretending you're far more athletic than you really are. By the time lunch was over, I was happy, full, and fully prepared for the next round of kayaking and hiking. Which is really the highest compliment an adventure lunch can get.

We ordered the fish and chips and SB smash burger. Honestly, they were pretty disappointing. SB Smash Burger 3/10: The burger was nothing special and didn't even have tomatoes (a standard burger topping in my eyes). It was a whopping 22 DOLLARS! A bit crazy for a totally average burger and some fries in my mind. They didn't even remember to give us any ketchup and we had to go up to the truck and ask for them. The fries were good though and pleasantly crispy. Fish and Chips 2/10: This one had potential but it fell short! At first bite, the batter was pleasantly crispy and the fish was super soft and tender. But, not five minutes later, the bottom of the fish was soggy! The batter was also a bit bitter. (we suspect maybe the beer batter?) If the batter was less bitter and a bit more crispy, we'd give this a much better score. The service at this little spot was honestly not too good. We had to keep asking for things and they didn't even have utensils or napkins readily available. Furthermore, we asked for an extra tar tar sauce (we had three people and they gave us a half filled container of sauce). The person behind the counter said that they were running low on sauce and weren't giving out any more! Seeing as though the original cup of sauce wasn't even filled all the way, it was a bit disappointing. Overall, I don't think i'll come back. Even though the area is super cute and comfortable, the disappointing food and service is reason enough to find a different lunch spot.

I had to turn around and go back inside to fix my pricey plus tip coffee. When I explained the situation to the barista who will go unnamed, he was polite, but there really wasn't much acknowledgment of the inconvenience or apology for the mistake. In fact he said "you're ok" as if I'd done something wrong. The other barista confirmed it was decaf with a quick yep but since the cup wasn't labeled, there was no way for me to know that initially. I eventually requested a remake just to be safe as they just wanted me to believe it was correct. The new coffee was made correctly, and then I was told where I could get my own cream. A simple apology and a little more understanding would have gone a long way, especially considering the extra time involved and the cost of a coffee these days. Instead of the perception that I was the problem. So in the end it was possibly the wrong coffee, no cream, an inconvenience of going back inside and waiting, no apology for the inconvenience and a lot of money. I won't be back.

Unfortunately, this was by far my worst experience here. First, I want to thank the busser who helped us (a kind Latinx gentleman). He was attentive, checked on us often, and showed genuine care.. far more than our actual server, MELISSA. MELISSA provided minimal to no customer service. She took our order without any warmth, never checked on us, and didn't offer refills, everything was handled by bussers. Our food came out only slightly warm, and portions were noticeably smaller than what we've received in the past, which is disappointing given the prices. What was most concerning and difficult to ignore was the clear difference in how MELISSA treated us compared to another table seated right next to us. When a Caucasian family was seated nearby, her entire demeanor changed. She became attentive, friendly, and engaged in a way she never once did with us. The contrast was immediate and obvious. After we finished, we paid our bill in full (including a 20% tip, despite the poor service) and left calmly. As we were walking to our car, MELISSA ran after us and questioned whether we had paid. This was not only embarrassing, but deeply upsetting. There was no attempt to verify with staff first, just an immediate assumption directed at us. As a server myself, I know how situations like this should be handled, and this was not it. Being singled out and approached this way, especially after already experiencing noticeably different treatment inside the restaurant, felt like profiling and discrimination. This all took place on what was supposed to be a nice Easter breakfast with my family, which made the experience even more disappointing. I did call to speak with a manager, who seemed to listen, but the overall situation was unacceptable. I will not be returning. There are plenty of other local smaller businesses in Oxnard that treat all guests with fairness, respect, and professionalism.
