I looked through the reviews before we headed here and the good reviews were spot on! We chose outside on the patio and there is also plenty on indoor seating. It's dog friendly on the back patio. Bring your fur baby. We ordered French Toast combo and Waffles with a side of bacon. The waffles taste like they were made in your own kitchen with syrupy goodness. The waitress was kind and attentive. The whole staff made sure it was a good experience from Door to table. read more

Shout out to Olive who works the front! Such a sweet woman. You know the place is good because I saw a handful of servers interacting with a lot of regulars. They were also pretty busy for a weekday morning so I can't imagine a weekend. Try to come when it's not busy or expect a wait time if you are going peak hours. Food is still a good price! Which was the main reason I checked it out. Everything felt really fair which is starting to become rare with breakfast spots now. Casual and perfect for summer time with all the outdoor seating options. read more

Amazing breakfast spot. Only took a star off because I wish they did cinnamon rolls during the week- it's weekend only. Juan our server was the best. So friendly and personable. Pricing is great!! Way more affordable than a lot of breakfast spots in Ventura. Come during the week to avoid the wait. read more

Our go-to breakfast place in Ventura! Always great food, and love the dog-friendly patio.

First time in this morning, the food and service was delicious. We ordered the biscuit with gravy, as well as the French toast... All of it was delicious, but the Orange juice... That was over the top delicious. The wait staff was so kind and sweet, and very relaxed vibe. read more

Found an amazing breakfast spot on our trip! The staff was very friendly and the food came out super fast. The portions were generous and everything looked and smelled great -- but the taste was even better. I'm not usually a big fan of breakfast burritos, but the pictures looked so good that I tried the wet burrito. It was huge and packed with meat, and I still finished the whole thing! Their home fries were perfectly crispy!!! I loved them. I definitely want to come back again, even though it's far from my town. read more

What a hidden gem. Came on a Tuesday afternoon with 1 hour left before closing. Ordered the chorizo omelette, one blueberry pancake, one chocolate chip pancake, and half a grilled cheese sandwich with potatoes. Chorizo omelette was hearty and not oily. Came with refried pinto beans and potatoes. Pancakes were fluffy, flavorful, not dry at all. Grill cheese also was toasted well and had a good quantity of cheese. Potatoes were the best part because it's crisp, yet not mushy nor soggy. Workers also are welcoming and served us with a big smile. Hopefully will stop by again if we're here. read more

This place just wasn't for me. I think it reels a lot of customers in having had guy fieri in there before. The ambiance is too much for me personally. It's past kitschy and onto campy. The decor is crowded and not cohesive. It feels cluttered. The tables are and walls and seats are sticky even when clean. It just all seemed a bit...dingy. They had that fun little peg game to play to keep you busy but half of them are missing pieces and they are also really dirty. We ordered hot chocolate (yum) and some basic breakfast items. My husband really liked his items. He said he would give his at least a 4 stars, but this is my yelp review lol. My food was very bland and not flavorful. I could have made the same thing at home. I don't mind spending money. In fact, I love going out to a good breakfast, but it has to be a good breakfast. If it's subpar it's really a waste of money and calories for me and that what I feel this experience was. I think I got "crunchy" French toast and it had mildly soggy corn Flakes on it. The idea was fun but the execution wasn't great. My husband simply ordered meat, eggs and potatoes. It was okay, nothing to write home about. Take what I say with a grain of salt and maybe try it for yourself. It could have been an off day for the kitchen or staff? Personally I don't think I will be back or recommend but I can tell you there were clearly regulars here that day and they do have quite a reputation so at some point they have done something right. read more

Been here 3 times now and finally decided to write a review. I had the Corned Beef Hash the first time since it was highly recommended and it was delicious! When it came to the choice of biscuit or toast, I tried biscuit the first time and it was very soft and warm but the jam and cream didn't go too well with the biscuit. I got the Chile Verde Omelette the second time and I didn't particularly like it too much. I did like the toast with the jam and cream this time! The third time I came back for the Corned Beef Hash and turns out the biscuit comes with gravy if you ask for it! The Biscuit with Gravy was heavenly! I do feel like the beef this time was a bit overcooked to my liking compared to my first experience but hopefully it isn't a consistent issue. read more

The food was mediocre at best. We ordered the chili verde omelette with hashed browns, side of bacon, coffee and orange juice. The coffee was very watered down, not flavorful. The orange juice was from concentrate and our food was served lukewarm, like it had been sitting under a warmer. Nothing tasted fresh. The service was good. The ambiance was ok, not very clean. I would not return nor would i recommend. read more

Local breakfast brunch restaurant that's dog friendly with a beautiful outdoor patio seating. and serves some great brunch food! Servers were really attentive and helpful in choosing from their huge menu. They are known for their home made strawberry jam. And pancake roll! For drinks I got the iced tea which was pretty good but I highly recommend adding strawberry jam! I also got the pancake which was nice and fluffy but wasn't life changing. Just good ol fashioned pancakes. The club sandwhich was pretty good nice toast and love the bacon. Pancake roll was soooo good. It is a pancake rolled up and covered in yogurt and fruits and nuts. So yummy. Perfect combo of textures flavors. Salmon taco special was good too. Big pieces of salmon. only thing is their potatoes are all kinda burnt... I didn't really touch that. decent salsa more on the fresh side and less acidic. Salad was pretty basic. Chicken wasn't too dry but wasn't the moistest. This is just your local diner basically. Note about parking. Left parking lot is not parking for Pete's. Go to the right. If there are no more spots, there's tons of street and residential parking. read more

My husband and I stopped in for a late breakfast on a Saturday morning. Not being locals, the small crowd of people standing outside was an indicator that this was the spot to go to. Despite the crowd, we didn't wait more than ten minutes before we were seated. Service was prompt and friendly. The food all smelled delicious. We tried: Burritos: Two simple breakfast burritos filled with choice of meat (bacon ftw), scrambled egg, and cheese. Topped with sour cream, avocado, and a mild pico de gallo, these were yummy though super basic. The beans that come on the side, however, are the unsung hero of this dish. Soooo rich and flavorful. Potatoes: Crispy, charred, and absolutely delicious. Pete's potato game is on it. Chile Verde omelette: My husband ordered this as it is subject to availability. The chile verde was tangy and super good, with tons of gooey cheese folded into the egg. It was devoured. Strawberry jam: Came with my husband's side of toast. It was super super sweet and SO good on the buttered sourdough. Warning: I have been craving it since we ate it. The food was generously portioned and heavy, which made it good fuel for a hike afterwards. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting town ahead of lots of activity, though I bet the full-bellied nap outcome could be nice too. Enjoy! read more

Best breakfast in Ventura County. The cheese omelet is paper thin and rolled on their flat top with cheese. The softest, cheesiest omlete ever. My husband loves their pancakes. There is something sweet in their mix, maybe vanilla. The pancakes are a little crispy on the outside and soft and delicious on the inside. This place is always busy and for good reason. We eat here every day when we are in town. read more

As a mom of two, this place has quickly become one of my go to spots. The food is always good, fresh, flavorful and reliable for a quick meal. The service is consistently fast and friendly, which is a lifesaver when you've got hungry little ones. I really love the cozy, Mom and pop atmosphere. It feels warm, personal and welcoming, like the kind of place where they actually remember you. And if you're looking for a sandwich that truly hits the spot try the Petes club, It's savory, satisfying and absolutely worth ordering every time. read more

Pete's Breakfast - Ventura Super charming little spot -- nothing fancy, just solid, comforting breakfast food. We sat outside, which I preferred since the inside felt a bit cramped and there were quite a few people waiting for tables. The patio seating was relaxed and perfect for enjoying the Ventura morning air. The kids loved their chocolate chip pancakes and French toast -- both came out fluffy and perfectly sweet. I had the Spanish omelet, which was hearty and flavorful, and my husband got the corned beef hash, which he really enjoyed. Service was friendly and efficient even with the crowd, and you can tell it's a well-loved local favorite. A great, laid-back breakfast spot we'll definitely return to next time we're in Ventura! read more

My friend's family has been coming here for over 40 years; it is one of their favorite spots for breakfast in Ventura! The service was friendly and pretty prompt. The place is small, cozy diner, but they have since added a patio, which has a charming water fountain and lots of shade. I only tried one thing since we split the breakfast, but it was really good. The table next to has had lots of food that looked and they said tasted amazing! Great breakfast spot in Venture, will definitely be back! read more

I love this restaurant and also love that it has a dog friendly patio. The food was absolutely delicious with no complaints. We are a huge fan of their biscuits and homemade jam. The biscuits are warm and so fluffy yet firm. The jam is sweet and had real fruit pieces in it. You can definitely tell it's homemade. ALSO I highly recommend the cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll is only available on the weekends I believe and we were so lucky because we got the last one! And OH MAN this was the BEST cinnamon roll I have ever eaten!!! Better than cinnabon for sure. The service was excellent and the servers offered a bowl of water for our dog too. And we loved that there were a lot of other dogs around in the patio. Great ambience and busy too. read more

Came here with my wife for her birthday, we had better expectations of the food, but we were disappointed. Food was OK, unsure what was the hype about this place. We had the Mexicali which I didn't really enjoy it. The avocado had some brown in it, which was not acceptable. Service seemed very rushed which we do not like either. It was recommended to get the pancake roll which I would give it 1/5 because it didn't taste good. I won't be returning here, I didn't feel that I enjoyed the food nor the service. read more

I came here with two of my friends when we were up visiting Ventura, and this was a breakfast place one friend had mentioned we should visit. We had to wait for about 15 minutes, which passed by quickly as we spent the time at the video game second hand shop right across the street. We were promptly seated, and because of the business of the place it took some time to get our orders, which I don't blame them for. But boy oh boy were these food portions absolutely humongous. I ordered the breakfast burrito and could only polish off one of them - I especially enjoyed the sour cream and avocado slices provided. The potatoes and beans were also pretty good. Very standard but yummy fare. Overall, a solid breakfast option if you are in the area. Would highly recommend bringing an empty stomach or someone who can eat a lot, as I ended up giving my remaining burrito to my friend. read more

I saw quite a few people waiting outside and thought I would have a long wait. No we were seated right away in a nice booth. They also have outdoor seating and it was a nice day and that would've worked also. A nice young gentleman came by right away and we ordered coffee and water. Our server with Mitch and I asked him some questions and so did my husband and he answered them. I had huevos chili Verde, came with some delicious potatoes and I decided not to include the beans. I also got corn tortillas, but you can also have flour. my husband got a ham, bacon and sausage omelette with the potatoes and English muffin. We both had coffee the 1st cup was so so but the 2nd cup was better. They don't have raw sugar and I usually bring my own. Place with clean and a typical cafe style place. read more

Came here on a Saturday morning and it was fairly busy but there was open seating on the patio so we got seated right when we walked in. The staff is very friendly and we were served quickly. I ordered the frittata with no cheese or sour cream because I wasn't feeling well and the veggies were all cooked perfectly. The Denver omelet was great also. The back patio was very cute and felt like someone's backyard. They allow dogs on the patio and have plenty of seating. Highly recommend! read more

I love coming to Pete's breakfast house whenever I am in Ventura!! They have a cute patio for warmer days and a good sized indoor dining room which has a lot of vintage charm. I love both their breakfast and lunch. I've had their pancakes, avocado toast, biscuits, and potatoes, and all are amazing! You can tell they use high quality ingredients and the portion sizes are great. I don't love eggs, but have also heard great reviews from friends and family about their omelettes. Their chorizo burger for lunch is so savory, flavorful, and spicy I definitely recommend trying! read more

Had some time to kill in Ventura and wanted to try a good breakfast place. After searching through yelp I ended up at Pete's. I wanted a good solid breakfast that I knew would fill me up. Walked into Pete's and felt the vibe of comfort and homey. It felt like I've been going there for a while the way everyone was welcoming. Ordered the breakfast burrito plate not thinking much, but it was incredible. Definitely was not used to a burrito with the ends open, but I just knife and forked it. Amazing. read more

What a great place! My husband and I visited for breakfast the morning after a concert and a stay at the Waypoint. Staff were friendly and food was delicious. We sat outside under a pergola and it was so pleasant. read more

This place was soooo good. When I first looked at the menu, I thought this spot was going to be a basic diner location. Sometimes spots on Yelp can be really popular when you compare it against other places nearby. Definitely not the case for this location. Coffee did not disappoint but was a bit on the pricier side for black coffee ($4). Ordered the Gordo burrito and holy moly. That thing was huge!!! I could have done without the tortilla chips and would have subbed it for something else. I definitely recommend. I've had tons of breakfast burritos and this one was filling & good. I only was able to finish half and had the rest for lunch. The potatoes were delicious too. read more

A bucket list place for me (from NY). Was in for my yearly visit. This was featured on Diners.dives and drive throughs with Guy Fieri. It's fairly small but no wait. Pancakes either chocolate chips (and whipped cream) was very good but I wasn't expecting bitter chocolate so maple syrup helped ! Amazing crunchy home fries and excellent over easy eggs. Cute pics on wall. Good service read more

Excellent service and great food. Picked an uncrowded day...amazing as it's always busy!

My new favorite restaurant! I cannot describe how much I love this place. I saw how highly reviewed it is and now I know why! We went there for a late breakfast. I got the Breakfast burrito plate. It comes with two burritos, beans, and some unbelievably good potatoes. Those potatoes blew my mind. You can get the burritos with either bacon, sausage, ham or veggies. Our server, Marla, suggested I get a sausage-bacon combo. She wasn't wrong. They were amazing. Whoever is back there doing the cooking crushed it. Everything was made right. Hats off to the crew. The place itself is so cool. Lots of interesting things to look at and some signs on the wall that literally made me laugh out loud. The thing that really sealed the deal for me was the people who worked there. They were slammed and yet none of them let that get them down. And even though they were in constant motion, they were always cheerful and ready to help. I live about 45 miles from Pete's but I will definitely be back for all of the above reasons but also because apparently the cinnamon rolls are spectacular and there were all gone by the time we got there at 12:15, so I would recommend getting there early. They looked legendary. read more

This review is long overdue. We have visited at least half a dozen times, maybe closer to a dozen. Every time we have been it's great! I always get the huevos rancheros and a side of bacon. I also get a biscuit. The huevos rancheros is so good. The beans are flavorful and everything is cooked perfectly. Their bacon is so crispy and not greasy. The biscuits are made daily and pair wonderfully with their homemade strawberry jam. Other family have gotten different menu items and all have been good. My husband said the coffee is good also! Love the service which is always fast and helpful. The inside is cute and on the smaller side so we have had to wait occasionally. I don't mind since I know I'm going to have a fabulous meal. Can't wait to return!!! read more

My daughter brought me here to have breakfast. The place is unique ( we were sat outside) . The staff is very attentive and sweet. We had tried different foods: omelets, eggs with chile verde, omelets, waffles and avocados toast. Everything was flavorful and tasty. Pleasantly surprised. Oh! They have fresh squeezed orange juice another plus. read more

Found this in yelp and decided to give it a try. So glad we did! Busy place, but larger than looks from the street. Extensive breakfast menu. I had the cheese omelette with avocado and it truly was as advertised- stuffed with cheese. One person loved their chili verde breakfast burrito. It was huge! Service was fast and excellent all around. Hardworking team keeps food and people moving so the waits are short. And really affordable, more so when you see the amount of food you receive. We all highly recommend! read more

We've been here a couple of different times the breakfast is always good. The staff is friendly and attentive.

Came here on weekday breakfast for their early bird. 2 eggs, bacon which were nice and crispy, home fries with sourdough toast and homemade strawberry jam. Loaded burrito with 3 meats was also nice and hefty. Kid's meal was great with french toast, an egg and a sausage. Coffee refills. Staff very professional and attentive. Definitely would be a regular place if lived in the area! read more
