    French Fries!
    Antonius B.

    Grabbed a burger for lunch. Able to be served quickly and hot down without hassle. The staff was friendly and attentive answered all questions about the menu and made appropriate recommendations. I had a hickory burger which had French fried onion, bacon, lettuce, tomato and BBQ sauce. Paired it with French fries. Burger had a perfect medium cook on it and the fries were hot and crispy. Burger ingredients all worked very well together and was everything I was looking for in a burger. I'd definitely return to try some other items if I was in the area.

    Hook Burger and Caprese Chicken with Sweet Potato fries

    AMAZING and very affordable for Cali! Arrived after several days at Channel lslands NP, and wanted a meal before crashing at the hotel. Saw this option with burgers and brew on the way. It is located in a strip mall parking lot with other restaurants and shops. You order at the front, with lots of wall menus or hand menus. Then seat yourself. We had the Hook Burger and a Caprese chicken, added on some Sweet Potato fries. Limited but sufficient wine menu, about 6to 8 taps, but two were dry. Staff were friendly and checked us often. Bathrooms were clean, but need to be monitored. Amazing taste and great price.

    I finally had Hook Burger again after several years. I ordered the Hickory Burger, Maui Burger, and The Trip (potato & sweet potato fries) with onion rings, all to-go so I could eat at home. Extra ranch and BBQ sauce were an additional 50 cents each. It's never as good as eating it fresh in the restaurant, but it was still delicious and satisfying after a long time. My rating: 4/5. Next time, I'll definitely dine in. The staff was very friendly, and the restaurant was clean!

    Hickory Burger
    Mitchell L.

    Haven't been here in years and I need to change that. Definitely one of the best burger places in the area. Always consistent, always delicious. I had the hickory burger and added ranch.... Yummo! Got a side order of onion rings also. Crispy, crunchy and certainly not greasy. Couldn't ask for better. Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant hadn't changed a bit, lol. Doesn't need to either. Clean and inviting just like I remember. I think it's safe to say I'm hooked!

    The food was excellent! Went back again because mistakes happen, so never take it to heart. Coming back to retry it again and the foods were impeccably delicious. Unfortunately no picture was taken but the visuals were perfect. Service has always been above and beyond whenever I go, so I always appreciate the team taking care of the previous incident but even before that, they are always so attentive. Kudos to the Oxnard team!

    So today I had the tuna melt with avocado and I honestly fucked with it heavy it was really good and the service was incredible as well. You can tell I ate good I finished the whole sandwich, I was basically licking my fingers afterwards. The restaurant was really clean as well and the vibe was just there.

    Nice lunch with mom. We both ordered the Hook burger with onion rings. Enjoyed the burger. Nicely built with all the usual fixings lettuce, tomato, onions and pickles. All very fresh. The onion rings were very crisp served with ranch dressing. Service was better than expected. The server came by often to refill our drinks and would ask if we needed anything else. Buen Provecho

We came here to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. We each ordered a cocktail. She got a blueberry margarita and I got a cucumber gin mixed drink. Both were refreshing and delicious. We ended up ordering another round. For appetizers we ordered the crispy maple Brussels and tuna & salmon tartare. The Brussels were fried to perfection and glazed a sweet maple syrup. It also came with thick cuts of bacon. Definitely recommend this. For the tartare, it was also delicious and fresh. It was mixed with avocado and turnip. We thought the turnip would be off putting but it actually meshed well with the flavors. Came with fried wonton chips. For the main course we shared the NY strip and Lobster Malfaldine. The steak was cooked to perfection with a very nice sear and flavored well. Probably one of the better steaks I've ever had. Definitely beats out any steakhouse steak. The Lobster Malfaldine was also absolutely delicious. Most of the time, lobster pasta is usually a bit bland and lacking in lobster. NOT HERE. They included big chunks of lobster and the sauce was so good. Lastly, we ended our dinner with the Strawberry Hand Pie. This is basically a warm strawberry strudel with vanilla bean ice cream. They used locally sourced strawberries and I'm still thinking about it as I'm writing this review. Adrienne was our server and she was very nice and attentive. Since it was my girlfriend's birthday, they comped our dessert. Super nice staff!

Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. Everyone in our group ordered something different, so we got to sample a little bit of everything, but my personal favorite was the Hangover. Their cappuccinos were also really good, and we loved the pancakes, bacon, chicken fried steak, chili, spicy chicken sandwich, and honestly... the list goes on and on! The restaurant was very clean, and the staff was incredibly friendly. There was a little bit of a wait when we went later in the morning, around 10:00, but when we went earlier, we were seated right away. If we're ever back in the area, I already know exactly where we're going for breakfast! Hollywood Beach Cafe will definitely be on our must-visit list.

Waitresses try their best but seem stretched too thin to be very attentive. You are made to use Cakes online ordering and wait list program which is less than ideal because of their slow WiFi. While waiting for a table you are updated on your place in line. On our last visit we waited as next to be seated for 20 minutes as multiple large parties showed up late and were seated immediately. We were told they were friends of the owner and there's nothing they could do but the staff hates it- for what that's worth. Today my Avocado toast left much to be desired. Sourdough tastes like dry thin sliced white bread. Small amount of smashed Avocado; not enough to cover the bread topped with less than fresh pico da gallo, arugula a balsamic drizzle and 3 slices of tomato that were marinated in Italian dressing. All things I like but the combination was not good. BLTA used the same disappointing bread, flaccid under cooked bacon a tiny amount of pesto aioli and more avocado then there was on the avocado toast. Kids mini pancakes were good but chocolate chips are $1 up charge. I will say yesterday's eggs Benedict was good- hollandaise is excellent. Breakfast potatoes were a bit undercooked. Bloody Mary was a bit weak in my opinion. After all of that- I got a look at the receipt and there is a 2% BOH RevShare added to the bill. My best guess is this is fee to help pay the kitchen- To be honest we went here because it was a short walk from the Hilton. After the poor service, bad quality and hidden fees- we would be better off eating on the resort.

I don't think there's a bad seat in the house, but we always love to sit outside so that we have a really good view of the aircraft coming and going. I tried the BLT and, oh my!!! One of the best I've had, with lots of thick cut bacon, very crisp, lots of lettuce, tomato and mayo (I ordered it as-is). Half was the size of a regular sandwich so the other half went home with me! RRR ordered the triple decker club on sourdough and loved his as well. Half of his went home also. We both got the cole slaw as our side which has a little pineapple in it.

Today we had to be out of the house due to Edison maintenance in your neighborhood. We were originally headed for Ojai, but we were hungry and didn't want to wait that long to get food. I suggested Waypoint since it was a weekday and hopefully wouldn't be that crowded. We hit them just before a lunch rush came along about 30 minutes later. it's probably been a while, but their ordering procedure has changed since the last time we were there. Now you enter, go to the host stand, and order and pay there. Then they give you a number for your order and a host takes you out to a table. It's a variation on fast casual. The idea is that they will start cooking your food as soon as you pay, and the process will flow smoothly from there. They have a lot of runners bringing out the food, and offering additional condiments or other things you might need, like more water or napkins. There are several reasons that I'm downgrading the rating from a previous visit. $18 for a plain Belgian waffle? No fruit, garnish, whipped cream, just melted butter and a very small amount of syrup. It looked more substantial because we added eggs and bacon for $3 more. The latter seems like a good deal, because the eggs were well prepared. Only two slices of bacon, though. DH and I split the plate. $21 for a plain waffle, scrambled eggs, and two pieces of bacon does seem excessive. We added a side of hash browns, which were plentiful, but were also oily. I don't remember having hash browns in another restaurant which were that greasy, so that was a fail. $9 for two cups of decaf coffee? That also seemed on the high side, especially when a tiny (and I do mean tiny!) addition of oat milk for creamer was $1.50. Really? And yet, they offered mini portions of hazelnut or French vanilla creamer for free. But we didn't know that ahead of time. A large glass of lukewarm pineapple juice was $6. I had to ask for a glass of ice cubes to be able to chill the juice down to where it tasted good. By the way, the waffle was slightly overcooked for my preference, making it more crunchy than I enjoy. Overall, it was $50 for a breakfast that DH and I split, just adding the hash browns and juice to stretch the meal. Service was good. It was the kitchen that let down the team. Also, ambiance-wise, the airport has added a large row of hangars to the northwest of the restaurant, which dramatically cuts down the view of the planes taking off and landing. That's actually another fail for the appeal of dining here. It's likely going to be a while before we return. Sad to report today's experience, but that's what it turned out to be - not the lovely little secret getaway of the past.

When our food came out, the amount of chicken on both bowls looked essentially the same. The only noticeable difference was that the chicken on mine appeared to be chopped into smaller pieces, making it look like there was more. I brought it up to our server, who was polite and said she would speak with the manager. The manager, Tyler, then came over and immediately insisted that what I received was the double-chicken portion. Instead of actually listening to the concern or comparing the two bowls, he seemed more interested in arguing with me and proving that he was right. At that point, I decided to send the food back because I wasn't going to pay an additional charge for double chicken when I appeared to have received the same standard portion. The biggest issue wasn't even the food--it was how the situation was handled. Tyler came across as rude, dismissive, and more interested in throwing his authority around than resolving a very simple customer-service issue. A quick comparison of the two identical bowls or an offer to correct the portion would have solved everything. Very disappointing experience and definitely not the level of customer service I expected from Lazy Dog.
