    GETTING HERE: Navigate to the address listed here on Yelp. I am not too familiar with the ins and outs of Ojai and this located off the path (at least in my opinion). Jolly Kone is located on the corner of South Lomita and West El Roblar Drive. Directly across the street from A-1 Mart. REVIEW: So good! Such great tasting food. First-timer and will be visiting again v soon, actually probably sooner than soon. :) I am so thankful for Yelp for showing me places I never knew of otherwise! We ordered: Chocolate shake, Zucchini fries, Turkey sandwich, and Corn Burritos with cheese. I will search for better vocabulary terms to describe how great tasting their food is! The Corn Burritos with cheese actually stole the entire show. The added cheese was perfect! The young lady who took my order was super friendly. Was patient with me while I asked all the things about the food because their menu is HUGE. That alone warrants another trip because there's ^more food I need to try here. I loved the vibe of this place, too. There are tables and chairs under big umbrellas where you can eat your food (if you choose) as you order from a walk-up window. It gives me a 50's Happy Days type of vibe (but outside seating only). I will be back. And, I highly recommend Jolly Kone! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

    YUM YUM YUM!!!! I ordered the pastrami burger, chicken wing combo, cheeseburger, and corn borritos. Absolutely delicious! Everything. Lynn was the cashier, and she was a sweetie. She had the kindest smile as soon as I stepped up to order confused because I didn't know what to get at first. The outdoor seating with the umbrellas was just perfect, even on this warm day. There's a HUGE menu, so I have to get to work if I want to try more. Haha.

    This little place is a gem! Great burgers, fries, onion rings, shakes n boba teas! The pastrami sandwich is outta this world! So is the Ortega chilé cheeseburger. Nice crew, fast enough though it gets busy. Slightly pricey but it's worth it. Beautiful location tucked away on Roblar St, Ojai hills surroun I've been going there for years, just acquired my first T Shirt from them.

It's an iconic Japanese Wagyu Burger restaurant in the middle of Downtown Ojai! Inside seating at the front of the restaurant offers street views of downtown Ojai... Interior seating offers epic murals of printed advertisements from old time Japan... Outdoor seating is just as picturesque with painted murals with cute & adorning phrases! Let's make this place viral and The Place to dine whenever anyone visits Ojai, spread the word and share this review! I visit at least once a week now since I ride my bike from Ventura via the Ventura River and the Ojai Valley Trails... a marathon ride! Their menu is vast and their daily special is the best value. For less than $15 you can have a delicious Wagyu Burger (with cheese - I order mine without) with fries AND a drink of your choice! Of course a generous tip will bring it up to $16-18!=o) The owners are most friendly, they're both from Tokyo! Brandon is the best... He opens early whenever there's someone waiting for the doors to open at Noon. I was here around 11:35A twice and he opened the door, gave me ice water, said I can use the bathroom and he'll take my order as soon as he's ready. I ordered l, paid, and received my food before the restaurant was opened for business! He said that he thinks that this is what his boss would do since he saw him do it... Now, that's elite service, above and beyond call of duty! Additionally, they play 70s, 80s, & 90s Pop Music! My first 2 visits here turned me off since the music had vulgar f words with mentioned body parts... I was going to mention it on my 3rd visit but they changed the music. Must be a change of personnel?=ox Anyways, what are you waiting for? Bring your families & friends and come visit, eat & tip well, take a lot of pix & vidz... believe me, you'll be taking some inside the bathroom too!=o)

The brewery is super cute and cozy, with wood/black accents and a boutique shop in the corner featuring local artists. There is plenty of places to sit inside or outside or at the bar. The bartender helped me pick a beer, and it was happy hour, so I only spent $5 on my 16oz pour :) We shared the Krupuk and pickle plate. Krupuk = airy tapioca chips, melt-in-your-mouth or crispy, with two flavorful sauces. It was a pretty large bowl so great for sharing. The pickle plate was lovely, 4 types of pickled vegetables (cucumbers, red/white onions, and bell peppers) which went great with the krupuk. Great place to pass the time!

Their selection of brews are pretty extensive, so we selected a couple of samplers.

Everything tasted great, though I'd probably ordered the cider again. We also ordered food from Sama Sama, a serving of their Wagyu Beef Sando and Chicken Sando. Wait time was roughly 10 minutes and was surprisingly served with a side of prawn crackers. I kept thinking that the wagyu was incredibly easy to eat and was done before I knew. Portion-wise it's a bit on the small side, but it had great flavor. All in all, a good place to past the time.

When we arrived at 6 PM, we were told the restaurant was already out of most of the menu items and planned to close in about thirty minutes. The menu was also completely different from what was shown on their website. We ordered the tri‑tip with string‑cut fries, but the beef we received was extremely old, dry, and tough -- definitely not fresh, and certainly not "farm to table." On top of that, instead of the string‑cut fries we ordered, we were served a large pile of waffle fries. After the fact, we found a review mentioning that the restaurant changed ownership in November 2025, which explains the drastic shift in quality and menu. I'm writing this updated review so others won't be caught off guard the way we were. Our bill came to $84, and honestly, even a basic chain diner would have been a better meal.
