Amazing shakes! The peanut butter shake is excellent! My friend recommends peanut butter and banana with malt added! read more

Corn burritos, abd a club sandwich! Yum! Its worth the drive for a good lunch in a pretty area in upper ojai.

The food was amazing, loved my turkey club. My husband got "The summit" burger that he always enjoys (the classic). My little ones enjoyed and shared a large chicken tenders basket, great portion size. The Italian sodas, any flavor a hit ! Not happy with the service, the only reason I will hesitate to go back, very unfortunate. read more

Great food and friendly staff. It's a very nice place to visit for a great burger and some tots. Also, their corn burritos are great.

Stopped in for our favorite milk shake on a sunny California day. Always a nice stop while out and about. read more

I love the food and service at The Summit! I also love the warm welcome and customer service. Makes for a great vibe. Beautiful drive, less than 10 minutes and it feels like a way to get away from town. :) read more

The Summit remains my go-to place when I crave a good burger. Thick patties, expertly grilled. There is a wide selection, the eponymous Summit Burger being one of my favorites. But the one I really love is the Firehouse Burger, named after the nearby VCFD Summit Station. Jalapeños and crispy bacon give it a great zing! Yum, just thinking about it has made me hungry! read more

Can't believe I've lived in the area for 15 years and have never stopped. A perfect place to grab lunch before heading to the trendy and pricey restaurants in ojai. Super friendly, casual spot with great eats. I got the pulled pork on tots - melt in your mouth with hot and crispy taters. They made an off menu coffee shake to go with. Fast, delicious and affordable. read more

Yummy!!!! I love the burgers and fries here! The staff are always nice and service is quick. It's a nice place off the highway with a great drive to eat something delicious!!! read more

Great food but the rudest manager I have ever met After offering a $8 shake she begrudged me a lousy cup of ice Staff is wonderful though read more

Surprisingly good burger and fries in the middle of not many choices. They could skimp, because of the lack of choices, but they didn't. Provided the calories I needed for a long mountain bike ride from Casitas Springs and up Sisar Canyon. read more

I forgot to write this review!! Some of the best food in Ventura county. Patty melt: THE BEST! I wish it had more sauce but still great Onion rings: AMAZING Peanut butter shake : best I've ever had in my life. I shared it but after one sip, I wanted my own Food was out very fast. It's outdoor seating with a couple seats semi-inside on the side. Very casual pit stop vibe. Can't wait to come back! read more

What a great 1st time experience. Food was good & hot. Corn burritos made my tummy happy

We were camping at the Ventura KOA. We got to go food from the summit. I got the Philly cheesesteak sandwich and it was awesome. If I lived closer, I would get it every time. It's very meat had a lot of flavor and there was a good ratio of onions and peppers on top. One of the kids got chicken tenders. They were pretty good someone else burger that was very good juicy and I like their buns and we tried the patty melt I would order that one again also. Is a solid place to eat! read more

Amazing food and service at a value price. We usually get the Summit Burger with grilled onions, onion rings, and one of their amazing hand scooped milk shakes. The staff are friendly and the surroundings are relaxing. If it's hot up there they close early so check the temperature. read more

Drove a long way to try this unique spot. Unfortunately they closed early but we did get their last two burgers. They were just ok, nothing special and the kids running it were a bit all over the place but it was a fun experience especially with the local kids doing wheelies back and forth as they drove back and forth past the restaurant. Unique spot though! read more

When you think of drive in this is it! The Summit is a beautiful location on top of the Ojai Valley. In addition to great views, this place cooks up some delicious pit stop food. Not sure what to order, the specials menu glared at me. The days special was tri tip sandwich with grilled onions and bbq. They had a handful of other items as well. Due to the colder temperatures, I ordered a hot chocolate to go with it. The tri tip was cooked well with lots of flavor. Surprisingly to me the best part was the perfectly grilled onions which provided a nice crunch and sweetness. My hot chocolate tasted fresh and not out of a packet. For the price you can't go wrong here. read more

Loved little burger joint on the side of the road! Had the BEST cookies and cream milkshake in my LIFE!! We were staying at an Airbnb close by and needed to grab something quick and this was perfect read more

The Summit Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - Santa Paula, California

The Summit has been on my list of places to visit ever since I "discovered " it, and I have no idea how that happened but I'm really glad it did. It's a long way away but my blushing bride and I found ourselves in the area yesterday and were ready to eat lunch... how's that for a coincidence??? The menu is a varied enough to make anyone happy. We ordered a patty melt (me) and coke, grilled chicken sandwich and s'mor Shake (my blushing bride), and tater tots to share. The crew was friendly and efficient. All seemed very much made to order so it was all hot and fresh. The beverages were cold and refreshing. All of the food was fresh, really tasty and well-seasoned. The patio seating was comfortable. We really enjoyed the experience. Unfortunately due to COVID rules the bathroom was a Porta-potty... not ideal but at least it was reasonably clean. Photo credit: my blushing bride. read more

Went here on a whim while visiting from out of town. I had the corn burritos (taquitos) and my girlfriend had the summit burger (lettuce wrapped) with tater tots. Corn burritos were a 7 out of 10. The sauce is tasty, but does taste a bit like marinara sauce. The blue corn burritos are better than the regular option. Loaded with cheese on top and sauce. Nice for a quick bite. Lettuce wrapped burger was a 7 out of 10. Little skimpy on the meat, if you're asking me - which in a Yelp review, I guess you are SO, little skimpy on the meat. Lettuce wrapped option is appreciated, lots and lots and lots of lettuce. Tater tots were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Only complaint is the price. Cost us $30 for the items mentioned above and 2 sodies (sodas). read more

Amazing place! Patty sandwich is very tasty so as onion rings. And it comes from a not a big fan of onion rings. Also strawberry milkshake is one of the best! Not too sweet as in usual diners read more

Great food. Love the outdoor seating. Even though they are located right on the highway, it still has that mountain feeling. I had the burger with fries and a coke. Girlfriend had the patty melt with a vanilla shake. We both were surprised about the quality and flavor of our meals. We will back for more now especially now since highway 150 reopened out of Santa Paula. read more

A locals-only spot serving up breakfast burritos and burgers, etc. The Tri Tip Burrito is awesome, with lots of steak bits and fluffy eggs and cheese. A classic Summit Burger has a juicy patty with a slice of cheddar, pickles and some sauce. They usually don't do morning Milkshakes, but they did indulged that day and it was awesome! No frills, but it's the best in the "casual-fun" category. Great for groups, great for to-go, just great for having any meal at all. read more

Their food is good and price is too cheap. There are a lot of hipsters sitting in this restaurant which make it fun place! read more

Great stop for good food. We had the blue corn tortilla with black beans, so good called a burrito on the menu but was an awesome taquito. My husband had the Summit Burger which he said was great.

Bomb little burger spot in a beautiful setting. I definitely recommend adding bacon to your burger it was thick and crispy. The malt shakes are so fresh and smooth after a nice long hike. I would totally get the corn burritos again with the green sauce. Definitely coming back. Also the wait for the food wasn't to long at all and the patio is dog friendly. They also offer burgers for dogs to. read more

We had a great time today at the Summit. It's a charming place with a comfortable patio are that's well shaded by a huge tree. The burgers and fries were generously sized and delicious, and the shakes are amazing. It's a bit out of the way but we'll worth the trip, and we'll be back for sure. read more

Great milkshakes!! Food was very good and the atmosphere is welcoming. Upper Ojai is a beautiful place to have lunch

Such a great spot! We took a family hike near Ojai and have been talking about this place. The staff was friendly upon arrival and super helpful. I ordered a burger with blue cheese (can't remember what it was called) and it was awesome! I normally don't have a bun but today was an exception. I really enjoyed it! French fries were a win. We also got the tater tots! Make sure to grab a milkshake for the road read more
