We originally found Cuckoos through a friend when they were working out of a garage up a long driveway hidden in the mountains. The whole crew was super friendly and while we were picking up our order (online pre-order at the time) they offered some samples of their homemade beer and burnt ends. We couldn't be more stoked that they have now located to a more official spot at 14 Cannons in Westlake. We had an amazing time hanging out and catching up with the team tonight. This is without a doubt the BEST BBQ offering California has to offer. You won't be sorry.

Authentic Island Flavors at Luau Grill…read more My wife, our three sons, and I recently stopped by Luau Grill in Thousand Oaks, and it was one of those spots that instantly makes you feel at home. With its true mom and pop shop feel, this place delivers not just on flavor, but on that welcoming, no-frills atmosphere that makes you want to come back again and again. Entrées: We ordered the chicken katsu and kalbi short ribs, and both were outstanding. The chicken katsu was perfectly crispy on the outside while staying juicy and tender on the inside, paired with a flavorful sauce that brought everything together. The kalbi short ribs were just as impressive, marinated well with that sweet and savory balance you expect from great Hawaiian BBQ, and cooked to perfection with a nice char. Sides: Each plate came with white rice and macaroni salad, and both hit the mark. The rice was fluffy and a perfect base for the meats, while the macaroni salad was creamy, simple, and exactly what you want alongside a hearty Hawaiian meal. Appetizers: We also grabbed a classic spam musubi, and it did not disappoint. The spam was nicely seared with a slightly sweet glaze, sitting on perfectly seasoned rice and wrapped in seaweed. Simple, but done right. Ambience: The vibe here is as authentic as it gets. It truly feels like a small family-run spot where the focus is on good food and good service rather than anything flashy. That mom and pop atmosphere adds a lot of charm to the overall experience. Overall: Luau Grill is a must-visit if you're in Thousand Oaks and craving authentic Hawaiian food. Dining here with our three sons was easy and enjoyable, and from the quality of the dishes to the welcoming feel of the place, everything comes together for a great experience. Easily one of the best Hawaiian spots around, and definitely somewhere we'll be returning to.

The white meat was actually better than the dark meat Great spices and so juicy it's perfectly cooked (sorry BBQ) I would have preferred a little spicy option but that's me. Bbq sauce was great 4.5 again spice it up but the flavor was great. Now the sides Potatoe salad it's good not great. It's more like mashed potatoes consistency. Needs more pickle for sure. Mac and cheese again good but way over cooked it's mushy and not too flavorful. Needs more cheese and less time on the noodles by like 5 minutes. The only thing that pushed the rating to 5 was the chicken I would give it a six if I could. Price is right on point 25 out the door for a whole chicken and two good size sides. So yeah get your grub on for cheap bbq

We tried the St. Louis ribs, pulled pork, beans, and greens. The meat was tender and cooked well. For me, the flavor and sauces weren't quite my personal preference, but I can see how others might enjoy them. Overall, a clean spot with well-prepared meats, and it may come down to taste depending on what you're looking for. Everyone taste buds are different so come and try for yourself. The customer service is also excellent.

Our waiter Danielle provided excellent service--I can't express enough how much I appreciated the attentive and friendly experience. The beer was served ice cold and was the perfect size for a hot afternoon. The Cobb salad was excellent. It was fresh, generously prepared, and included every ingredient you would expect. We also received the extra side of blue cheese we requested, which was appreciated. We also ordered the bacon cheeseburger. There was nothing wrong with the burger itself--it was cooked well and prepared nicely. My only personal preference was that the barbecue sauce was a bit overpowering and masked the flavor of the bacon and beef. If you enjoy a stronger barbecue flavor, you may really like it, but I would have preferred a lighter touch. Overall, we had a very enjoyable visit thanks to the excellent service, refreshing drinks, and fresh food. We'd be happy to return.

I've eaten here several times because I work in the area, and honestly, I've always felt the food…read morewas overrated. The portions are large, but the food itself is pretty bland, under-seasoned, and just doesn't have much flavor. What really bothered me, though, was how I was treated during my most recent visit. I stopped in to use the restroom and asked an employee for the code. The restaurant was practically empty. She immediately asked if I had ordered anything and pointed out that the restroom was for customers only. I explained that I have eaten here multiple times before and have been a paying customer. Instead of simply helping me, she told me I would have to purchase something that day in order to use the restroom. I understand that businesses can have restroom policies. What I did not appreciate was the rude and dismissive way the situation was handled, especially in front of another person at the register. It was embarrassing and completely unnecessary. As someone who works nearby and has spent money here several times, this experience left a very bad impression on me. I also work with people who sometimes eat in this area, and unfortunately I can no longer feel comfortable recommending this place. Big portions do not make up for mediocre food and poor customer service.

The short answer is that Paradise Cove Beach Cafe is a minor tourist trap that is only really…read moresomewhat redeemable if you are going to the beach and/or making a day of it and need somewhere to both eat and park. First off, the negative: the parking is absolutely insane and always raising throughout the years, so if you're coming here for the beach and just the beach (no food/ drinks), then this is absolutely not worth it. If you don't mind paying an arm and a leg for good food and not the greatest service, then they can validate your parking for you, making it a better deal; not free, but lower than before. Their menu is kind of confusing because one side is dedicated to family sized meals, but the other size doesn't have everything on the menu that they truly serve. When I came here last weekend with my family, the blonde waitress that was taking care of us didn't give us a kids menu for my sister when seating us. When she came by again after we got seated, I asked her for one and motioned towards my sister. She asked, "Who at the table here is a kid?" in a serious tone and had a slight attitude. I just calmly said, "My sister," and motioned again, like before, towards her. She asked, "Well how old is she?" "11.....," I said. And she rolled her eyes and walked away. After five minutes, she came back with a kid's menu, although I never really knew what the full issue was. I understand that they don't want adults ordering off of the kid's menu in order to make more money on the adult meals, even though they can be too big for some people depending on what you get. However, a kid that maybe looks a couple years older wasn't as big of a deal as she made it out to be, rolling her eyes to a whole family. When we got our food, which was around 25 minutes after we ordered, a lot of the dishes my family and I ordered came in big portions and could be saved for dinner or another meal. I had also ordered a frozen margarita prior, but was disappointed when I got it and it wasn't frozen, but a very, very melted down version. It tasted good and wasn't too strong, though. All in all, I'd maybe recommend if you've never been before just to go once to check out the space, food, ambiance, and views that they're really known for. It's truly gorgeous since they're located right on the beach, and it's an amazing location. However, the customer service and prices make this restaurant not an occurring place that we go to.
