    Breakfast Burrito.
    Adonis M.

    This is a great spot to visit to grab a bite. They have a great variety of things you can choose from and you can't go wrong with any of it. The service is fast and pleasant anytime I stop by. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Its a small location but its nice and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This time I went for the Breakfast burrito and its always good. It has plenty of egg, tots on the inside to add a crunch, and the fly sauce to add a creamy flavor to every bite. The burrito is a decent size and you will surely want to return for more. The green salsa is also delicious and adds a slightly acidic flavor to balance it all out. I will be back.

    Lomo Saltado Steak & Egg Burrito
    Sarah D.

    We were driving 2 hours to go to a museum and stopped here to grab some breakfast first. I am SO glad we stopped at this small location as their food and service was PHENOMENAL! The Lomo Saltado Steak & Egg burrito was very filling and flavorful! The marinade on the meat made it very juicy and tender. We added the salsa on the burrito as well for extra flavoring. Had I known there was tots inside the burrito as well, we might have not needed to order (2) sides, but dripping a hot, crispy tot in their famous FLY sauce was SO GOOD. Fly sauce is a mayo/ketchup based dipping sauce that just adds that additional layer of flavor in every bite. The Maple Oat Latte was sweetened by 100% pure maple syrup and was delicious! Not too sweet and not too bitter. Perfect ratio of oat milk to cold brew. The Strawberry Dragon Fruit drink was sweet, but also had a refreshing taste, especially during a warm mid-morning in the Valley! Lastly, the Maple Fried Egg Sandwich tasted like a gourmet, elevated, WAY BETTER McGriddle! The bacon was crispy and coated in maple syrup which soaked into the bottom bun, making it the perfect salty/sweet taste in every bite! The egg was the perfect consistency of runny and the soft brioche bun was a lovely touch. The pricing is reasonable, we paid about $54 for (2) people, but the portions were huge, the food was filling, fresh, and delicious! I wish the Flying Yolk could come make its way down to Norwalk, CA! This might be worth the 2 hour drive again.

    Had the fun of visiting with a friend and trying out some delicious food. I had the jalapeño burrito and man it did NOT dissatisfy my tastebuds in the least. Very Spicey and I substituted the basin for avocado glad I did as it helped lower the heat. My friend ordered the tot scramble bowl and it too was amazing looking she clearly loved it as she finished the whole bowl. We will def be back to try more. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself needs a little more attention to cleanliness and upkeep but it is in an older building.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service and the staff were very friendly, kind, and very fast during peek rush. We waited only 10-15 months.

    Steak & Eggs Burrito.
    Darian H.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really enjoy eating here! It's such a cool place and the food is just so good![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I brought my boyfriend here the other weekend. We both got some breakfast burritos. I got the steak and egg burrito and he got the jalapeño and cream cheese burrito, they were absolutely delicious! They are pretty decent sized burritos, so they are very filling! It definitely is pretty pricey to eat here, but the food is definitely worth every penny! And the salsa they have is a great bonus!

    I visited The Flying Yolk to get a quick bite before my errands but I stumbled upon a secret dining treasure in Simi Valley. The hamburger meat stands as the main attraction during morning hours. The first bite of my meal required me to stop and understand what I was experiencing because the meat delivered both tenderness and juiciness with expert flavor seasoning. The egg and bun formed a perfect union which functioned as a tasty duo. The iced coffee arrived as my next drink. A refreshing experience because of its smooth texture and cold temperature which added a personal distinct element. The drink gave me a powerful energy boost which motivated me to DECLARE my readiness for taking on today's challenges. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere creates a peaceful environment which lets people finish their essential work without experiencing stress.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 10/10 would go back

    Flying Patty Melt is SO delicious!  I added more of their signature sauce and it's amazing
    Michele O.

    Absolutely delicious! We saw a kiosk and missed the cashier when we walked in. I wish I saw the cashier, therefore I probably wouldn't have taken as much time ordering since it was our first time there. I'm sure she/he could have recommended some first time favorites. We ordered the Flying Patty Melt (omg, my new favorite breakfast sandwich), The Cali Fried (tasty!), the Strawberry Nutella Croissant (a dessert sandwich:) and a side of an egg scramble with cheese dish (forgot the formal name)...We loved it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was clean, the timing to get our food wasn't too long, and it was busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There is outdoor seating. The employees there were very nice. Definitely will return to try their other dishes, and their cold brew!!!

    This is an amazing breakfast place.It's only open till three o'clock, so go early.[[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]The employees serve you with a smile and the food is delicious.There's plenty of parking and plenty of indoor seating

    Lomo Saltado Bowl
    Megan G.

    The Flying Yolk is a solid spot for breakfast sandwiches and burritos, and it definitely delivers on flavor! I've visited a couple of times, and while I enjoyed the food overall, there are a few things worth noting. I got the Flying Fried, and it was delicious! The soft brioche bun paired perfectly with the crispy tots, making for a great contrast in texture. I was also ecstatic to find the Lomo Saltado steak bowl on the breakfast menu--it was smoky, soy-heavy, and packed with umami. It's not often you get to enjoy such a flavorful bowl first thing in the morning, and I absolutely loved it. That said, my only gripe is with the pricing. For example, the difference between the Flying Fried and the Cali Fried is literally just a slice of tomato and avocado, but it comes with a $4 upcharge. Their steak & eggs burrito is $21, which feels exorbitant - especially when "LA's most expensive burrito" is $18 and justifies its price with grass-fed beef and organic eggs. The food here is solid, and I love supporting local businesses, but the prices feel a bit unreasonable for what you're getting. The service is friendly and quick, and the casual vibe makes it a nice spot to grab breakfast or brunch. If you're okay with the prices, it's worth a try!

    Huckleberry waffles
    Mollee K.

    A friend recommended this spot for a quick, delicious, and local breakfast. This place exceeded my expectations. The croissant-dough waffle was incredibly flavorful and flakey. The huckleberry cream dipping sauce had a nice fresh taste and a good portion size compared to the waffles. The flying fried was the perfect balance between soft (bun) and crunchy (tater tot's and bacon). Additionally, the fly sauce was a great touch of flavor. [[HIGHLIGHT]]In terms of the atmosphere, I appreciated that you had the option of ordering on an IPad or in person.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All the staff were super friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining room was a little small, so I would recommend ordering to-go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, I wish the flying yolk had Arizona locations and will be back the next time I'm in Simi Valley!!

    Avocado egg sandwich
    Linda p.

    Solid spot for a quick, satisfying breakfast. The Flying Yolk delivers on flavor with stacked breakfast sandwiches that are both filling and made fresh to order. I had the classic bacon, egg, and cheese--crispy bacon, soft scrambled eggs, melted cheddar, and a toasted brioche bun that actually holds up. Everything tasted like it was made with care. The tots were golden and crispy, not greasy at all, and make a great side. Staff was friendly and kept things moving even during the morning rush. Tip for first timers: Try the Yolk Smash or Breakfast Burritozilla if you're hungry. And ask for the Flying Sauce--it's legit and goes well on everything. Great for takeout or a casual bite before starting the day.

It is tucked behind a…read morenondescript office building, not visible from the road, and when I got up to the parking lot, all I saw was a - well, a junkyard! Yes, that does explain the name, but still . . . That was just the beginning of my odyssey to a great lunch. The outside has a large patio, and it is decorated as eclectically as the rest of the entryway and dining areas. In fact, you could spend all day looking at every item in this place! Amazing dedication to a theme that actually works, and makes you feel relaxed and at home, at least for me (clutter confession in that statement . . . ). There are dining rooms and a bar area for further relaxation! The welcome was quick and warm, and the service was great. The menu itself is just as odd, almost like a child drew it with crayons, so I took a while to make sure I didn't miss anything, even though I pre-planned my attack on Yelp and their website. I was still overwhelmed in person! Kailey was a great server, friendly and efficient. I ordered the grilled three cheese sandwich (with Jack, pepper jack, and cheddar on sourdough, grilled) served with fries or chips - I chose the house-made chips, and added a side salad. The salad arrived first, and I had almost finished it when the sammy arrived, hot and melty. It was on a bed of chips, the amount of which shocked me! The whole plate was covered with them. I even took a large box of them back to the hotel for a later snack; they were too good to just leave abandoned. The sandwich was great, just the comfort food I needed that afternoon. There are other items I would try on the menu, so I hope to find myself in Simi Valley again. A great place with great food and service.

Things happen but this is the 3rd time this has happened to me. Shout out to the manager for refunding my order and making it right. Just want to make sure they learn from this experience and do better. 1. If you don't have a topping someone should have let me known soon as I picked up my order and refunded the topping I asked for. ( the manger told me they never had any jalapeños after I found out they were never added) 2. If I called specifically to remove a topping you should double check the order to ensure it was done. 3. Don't have an excuse saying the chef was really busy and just making sure you correct it and ensure it does not happen again. The manager was genuinely sorry and made sure he made up for it and I do appreciate that so I will be back but I will call in my order next time and double check myself before I leave to ensure this does not happen again. Driving back home and being charged for something they don't have in addition to getting something you called to make sure you don't get is extremely frustrating. That's wasted time and energy. They need to do better because their food is good! Service is important!! Hope they improve.

I asked for the shredded beef for my tricolor burrito, I also asked for no onions as this was another ingredient with this burrito. When I got my burrito, I thought there was a lot of onions. So I asked the server. She went to the kitchen and asked and was told that the shredded beef comes with onions. I believe that since I had mentioned, I don't want any onions, it would have been great to mention that the shredded beef already has onions so we would have chosen another meat option and not send the dish back to the kitchen. After I received my plate, saw so many onions, decided to mention it to the server and that's when she went back to the kitchen to ask, then realized it has the onions. And when I asked for asada meat, I was told it's extra. All this conversation, the server keeps coming back-and-forth to the kitchen, which was really frustrating. I end up getting the chicken, it was a good option.

It was my mom, my sister, my son, and me. The food was great, and although it was quiet when we arrived, it became very busy by the end of our meal. What truly stood out, though, was our waitress, Riley. She had the perfect balance that is honestly hard to find. She wasn't overly friendly or overbearing, but she also wasn't distant or robotic. She was simply genuine, attentive, calm, and incredibly thoughtful. Our table was a little chaotic at times. My mom accidentally spilled an entire glass of water all over the table, and Riley handled it with such grace and calmness that she immediately put everyone at ease. She never made us feel embarrassed or like we were inconveniencing her. Toward the end of the meal, my sister quietly snuck out because she didn't want anyone singing Happy Birthday to her, and my son went with her. Riley was so thoughtful that she packed up my son's ice cream (which we didn't even realize came with his meal) along with my sister's birthday sundae that we also didn't know was included. There was just something really special about her. Riley made us feel welcomed, cared for, and comfortable from beginning to end. We will absolutely be back, and Riley is a huge reason why.

My wife called MB Grille as we were already heading in that direction and talked to Alice and she allowed us to put our name on the list with the intent of us arriving in 10 minutes. We did arrive on time and the place was packed, we did get seated shortly after we arrived and Riley was our server. What a friendly easy going helpful person she was, answering questions that we had and getting answers for the questions she didn't have. Very attentive checking on us numerous times. We have dined here before and the fish is always fresh and cooked to perfection, Oysters are always good and the cocktails always spot on and refreshing. Big shout out to Riley on this one, great service is just as important as delicious food. And a great hostess such as Alice keeps the incoming customers flowing and happy and feeling welcome. Thank you both for making a fall out evening into a dining pleasure. Well done Riley and MB Grille, as always we will see you again soon. Bon Appetitto

    I really love this place and have been coming here for years. The food is great and priced well,…read morethe view is amazing, and the staff is genuinely happy to work here. Get over the 28% gratuity, it's to provide a living wage. I recommend any of their smoked meats like the sandwich and BKT and if course the cinnamon rolls. The only drag here can be the motor cycles and sports cars who have the need to rev needlessly. This is the sole reason it's not 5 stars. This would be a great place for police to hang out on weekends to clean up the douchery to fund fire abatement. The rip down the streets and generally add an unpleasant experience, but the food trumps it. Great place despite the unpleasantness from the few.
