If you know anything about Gunsmoke BBQ and Beer in Santa Paula, you know their barbecue already…read morehas a solid reputation....but finally making it into their restaurant just confirmed everything I'd been hearing. I've had the chance to try their BBQ at local events around Ventura County, and it always left an impression. They make some darn good BBQ. BUT for this visit we ended up highlighting something just as exciting...their vegetarian options! It definitely says a lot when a barbecue place has great non meat options. I came with my friend Raquel (yelp elite) for lunch and we went all in on their vegetarian plates...well with one exception, we ordered the deviled eggs too. Let's start there: Their famous Candied Bacon Deviled Eggs are a must. Creamy, flavorful filling, lightly battered egg, topped with crispy bacon...yeah, they're as good as they sound. 10/10. Now for the vegetarian standouts: The Fried Avocado Bites were simple but done so right. Perfectly fried and paired with house made sauces that really brought everything together. Super shareable and perfect as a starter. 10/10. The Cauliflower Tacos were a reminder that you absolutely do NOT need meat for a great taco. These were hearty and loaded with (again) incredible sauces. My friend was obsessed and I get why. They were good, but I would prefer a meat protein taco at a spot like this. 7/10 for me. Beyond the food, the experience really shines here. The space has this perfect mix of country charm and rock n roll edge which is such a fun vibe. Service was top notch, and we love when owners are present and genuinely care. They stopped by to check in, which always makes a place feel extra special. And shoutout to our server Bentley, an absolute sweetheart. Next time you're in Santa Paula, do yourself a favor and check them out.

I sadly became a pescatarian right as Gunsmoke BBQ was opening. I have friends who have been…read morewanting to try it so I wanted to give it a shot as well. Gunsmoke is located in Downtown Santa Paula. I didn't pay close attention but I don't believe they have private parking. If you don't know SP, there is street parking and some parking lots. I would be mindful when you are planning to come for parking. I came with a friend midday so there was plenty of parking and seats as well so we got seated right away. I was happy to see the non meat options they have available. I was a bit bummed out they didn't have their hummus but it's just another excuse for me to go back. I did end up getting their cauliflower tacos. My friend got their avocado fries and their devil eggs. I had never had devil eggs, and tried those and were so good. I wanted more but I had already had all my tacos. I did appreciate the owner coming to greet us and finding out I was pescatarian. He was nice, mentioned that even though they are a BBQ spot, they still want to value those customers that don't eat, and asked if there's anything I think of to let him know to see if they can add it to the menu. Really appreciated that. Overall, bummed out I wasn't able to try their BBQ. The options I did try were all really good. I would come back.

She told us to give her a few minutes and ended up getting us a booth which we really appreciated. Liz took care of us all night and was super attentive. Drinks were great, food was amazing, and the homemade apple tartin with vanilla ice cream was honestly the perfect ending. Such a good experience overall. Great staff, great food, and we'll definitely be back again!

Tucked away in a non-descript industrial park, Hozy's Grill is a very pleasant surprise…read more The room has a quiet and sophisticated look and vibe and there's an outdoor eating area if the weather's nice. There's also a (full) bar area with seating. A minor quibble: the chairs in the dining room don't slide very easily on the tiled floor, and this might be a bit annoying. The food was tasty and the service was pleasant and professional. Prices are what you'd expect to pay and good enough value, especially if you share food (as we do). If you're looking for a place to eat while traveling through Santa Paula give Hozy's a try, for sure!

What a gem!!! We…read morecame in on a Saturday, no one else was there but a few ppl came after. He is located in an alley with beautiful art. You can park in the back free parking lot if you don't want to park on the street. After ordering, our food was out in 10-15 min CHEF BURGER - Fresh, flavorful, and masterfully put together. The sweet potato fries are hands down THE BEST sweet potato fries you could ever have. He puts the Habit's fries to absolute shame in every way. CORNED BEEF & CABBAGE - My husband got this and we both loved it. Like LOOOOVED IT. It was a St Patrick's day special but I hope he keeps it as a permanent item!!!!!! SMOOTHIES - So fresh! It was like someone made them at the bar on a beach. He uses real ingredients, not powder and syrups. Prices were fantastic, and the food was even better. I appreciate that he uses real high quality ingredients. I seriously can't wait to come back and try more things! He's been open for 3 years - however he opened just before Covid. I'm so happy he was able to survive that because his food is phenomenal. This will definitely be the next "it" spot in Santa Paula!

Steak sandwich - good not great - onion rings good. Corn burritos - great! One thing I do not like at any restaurant is seeing the manager (I think he was the manager) EAT behind the bar - then grab a customer food to be delivered. Plus no washing of the hands after eating and before touching the food. Would have been 4 stars but the eating in the bar/kitchen area...nope.

It's on the pricey side but it's a better choice than McDonald's so, there's that. I've only had…read morethe burgers here, they're ok. I'll try the corn burritos next time but it's hard to come here when it's so expensive of a place. The neighborhood seems safe enough and parking is sometimes an issue, the lot is small but there's room on the street. They do have a restroom around the back of the building you'll need to ask for access to, fairly clean for what it is. The chili fries aren't anything special, the fry's in general are just ok - the burgers are really good though. In all, we'll try a few more dishes but again, pricey to come here so keep that in mind. I'm all for supporting small business over a chain any day of the week.

I've lived in the area for three years and finally decided to give Foster's Freeze a try. I ordered…read morethe chili cheese fries, a Twister M&M, and the classic cheeseburger. Overall, it was okay. The cheeseburger was solid and hit the spot, and the Twister M&M was definitely the highlight, creamy, sweet, and loaded with candy. The only downside was the chili cheese fries. I wish the fries had been cooked a bit longer because they were pretty soggy under the chili and cheese. With crispier fries, it would've been much better. Service was good and the young kid taking my order didn't rush me at the drive thru window. Not a bad visit overall, but there's room for improvement.

We were uncertain about what to order as everything on the menu appeared enticing. I chose the Crab Cake Benedict, while my boyfriend opted for the short rib omelet. Our meals exceeded our expectations; they were incredibly flavorful. I would rate it a perfect 10 out of 10, and we look forward to returning to sample the entire menu. We highly recommend Rabalais Bistro.
