The food is fresh and amazing, the service is fast as you order at the entrance. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Expect it to be noisy as many families enjoy this spot and the planes outdoors are fun to watch. read more

Everything was amazing! I love the atmosphere and the service is always great. We did order one milkshake to share and they kindly split it for us. read more

Waypoint Cafe - Everything was amazing! We did order one milkshake but they kindly split it for us. - American Near Me - Camarillo, California

This place, hands down has the best service at a restaurant I have ever had. I have popped in a few times but most recently Mother's day (no reservations, silly I know) and even though we waited 2 hours, the line moved quickly, there were areas to sit down, a mini runway and control tower area (so cute being at an airport) for kiddos to get their wiggles out and complimentary treats like cinnamon rolls, coffee and water passed out to folks in line- how thoughtful! They are also soooo organized- the menu's start getting passed out toward the front of the line, you're given a number and you order and pay before you sit down. Once you sit down your food comes out quickly and efficiently. While you're sitting there is a good flow of communication between the staff and your table- can I clear this for you, can I get you anything, ect. I love that! Esp when I need water. We also were accommodated with a high chair, which was a thought before we even sat down. The staff is always so friendly and kind without being overwhelming. Lot's of smiles and mothers day wishes yesterday helped made my day great! Devon, the kind staff member who took our order was SO well versed with the menu and even suggested we put a fun twist on our Chicken caesar wrap by adding the buffalo chicken and some blue cheese to dip with bleu cheese crumbles on top- I only had a bite of this because I was already so full from my milkshake (woops) and a few bites of my tri-tip caesar salad. We love the patio dining area, it's covers and heaters keep you nice and warm. We've never eaten inside but the whole place seems to be spick and span clean as well. The food- the portions are huge- I barely made a dent on my salad before I was pleasantly full. The chicken ceasar wrap is also probably too portions and the milkshake could easily be shared by two! This time I opted for the vanilla milkshake which was a on the lighter side if you still wanna enjoy a milkshake, next time I am curious about the expresso shake. I was also surprised that the prices were align with the portion sizes imo- two meals (which are for 2/3 people with the size) and a shake for around $60. If you visit be prepared to have it be worth the wait! To be honest there are def times you can scoot in when the lines shorter, so there's not always a wait. read more

huge portions and delicious food! this cafe is always busy, but well worth the wait. it's so cool to sit outside and watch the planes take off and land while enjoying your meal! the prices are pretty steep, however the food and portions are worth it imo. i always get the pepper jack turkey melt ($19) and my gf always gets the carnitas omelette ($22)! plenty of food and i always have to take home leftovers! read more

Today was the first time I've ever been there. We were a party of seven meeting there for Sunday brunch. I ordered the cinnamon French toast combo, with scrambled eggs and sausage patties. The only reason I ordered it was because the reviews gave good reviews, but Let me tell you I have Never ever tasted such horrible cinnamon French toast. The french toast was dry and the scrambled eggs were cold and the sausage patties were burnt. Not one person in our party was satisfied with the food. One of our guest ordered soft cooked bacon and asked the cashier if they could cook some for him if they didnt have any and she replied definitely. Needless to say it was stiff and cold and the person who brought our food said she'd go get different bacon, except she brought the same awful bacon back and said the chef said he didn't have anymore bacon, but later came by with perfectly cooked bacon, but threw the plate towards him and didn't say a word and walked away. I wish I would have written her name down to include it in this review. Needless to say, we will never be returning. EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK!! read more

The Waypoint Cafe is a must for anyone wanting a good meal-especially breakfast. You will know how good it is because the parking lot starts to fill quickly. People are NOT there to see planes taking off or landing-the food is very good. There is outside seating if you prefer. The staff is very friendly and attentive. You can only go 'right'...see you at the airport! read more

The family loves this place. Great breakfast and the best milkshakes around. I do wish they went back to taking your order at the table though. read more

Always great food and great Vibe! Team of employees make the sitting easy and great food!

WOW!!!!! The rave about this place is completely true. Not a single complaint. I was slightly confused when I first got here but you simply have to wait in the line for a table. Yes the line is absurdly long but it goes by very quickly. We were seated after 25 minutes after a huge line. If you're only there for the food, and could care less about the planes, just ask to dine inside, they'll have a table for you so quickly. It's so empty inside since everyone wants to be outside. One odd thing is that you pay before you eat but it didn't mind me, just have your wallets ready. I ordered the Mayor Chorizo Burrito and Oreo Cookie Milkshake, my dad ordered the French Toast Combo. The food comes out so fast, we waited not even 5 minutes! My burrito was DELICIOUS!!!!!! So many sour cream and avocado (I love sour cream personally) the chorizo was juicy and was added generously, the potatoes were amazing, hot outside and hotter inside of the burrito. My milkshake was the best one I have ever drank. The Oreo are delicious, everything about the milkshake was just wow. My dad loved his eggs and bacon. He said the bacon is actually real, thick, chewy and crispy. The French toast was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere is just so relaxing. The servers are quick, willing to help. I'll definitely come again 100%!!!! read more

Terrible. All this place cares about is getting you out the door as quickly as possible. You're not even allowed to order food at your table. Before you sit down, they run your card and expect you to know exactly how many water refills you'll want--apparently that justifies why they don't provide any real service once you're seated. The servers get screwed too, since management clearly tells them to minimize interaction, which means lower tips for them. Meanwhile, the customers are left with zero service after they've already paid. Save your money and go somewhere else. This place only sees customers as dollar signs, doing the bare minimum while pocketing your money upfront. They know their location is rare, so they think they can treat people however poorly they want. Don't fall for it. read more

My family and I really enjoy coming to the Camarillo Airport Cafe, the food and service are fantastic. My comment is that there are too many people that feel they can just walk into the entrance and totally ignore all the other people waiting outside in the line. The staff need to get a handle in this please. I made my self known to this couple who just walked to the front and even when I told the cashier she continued taking their order. Plenty of staff there today and maybe have someone monitor the line going forward. read more

The best place to take out of town friends. Such a gem in Ventura County and what great atmosphere and service. Have to call out Marcello who worked so hard to make us feel welcomed during the very long wait. Don't get wrong sometimes the wait is too long, much too long, but that's really how good it is. Very cool views, nice people and great food. read more

This is my go to place when company visits. When my grandkids are in town it's the only place they want to go to. The food is always excellent no matter what you order. The portions are generous and served quickly. The staff members are always friendly and helpful. The locale is interesting too. There isn't enough positive things I can say about the Waypoint. Only negative is the wait sometimes. I need to start coming here even when company isn't visiting. Why limit myself since I love it so much! read more

One of the best airport cafe's I've been to--period. This place runs like a well oiled machine! There's always a long line, especially on the weekends, but the way their queue is setup is that you place the order BEFORE you get seated and they have you look at the menu while you're in line. This helps you get your food quickly and it helps them turn over the tables a bit quicker. Tipping prior to getting service is a little awkward, but overall; it just works. The milkshakes are killer, but SO HUGE (definitely share) and their salads are huge and filling. The enchilada omelette was delicious. Whether you're a pilot and you fly into KCMA or you live in Camarillo and come in from town, this is a great spot to watch airplanes and enjoy incredible brunch food (or lunch) and service! read more

The food at Waypoint Cafe is always so good. I love the Dave's Famous Chicken and Biscuits. It's everything you want in a comfort food brunch. It comes with biscuits, gravy, fried chicken, bacon, and hashbrowns. Safe to say, it's very filling but oh so delicious. The servers are so attentive and friendly, and the line moves pretty quickly. It can be long on the weekends, so expect a little wait. And what's cooler than having brunch watching planes and helicopters land? Not much. read more

Love the vibe and the food, but the fact that you order your food at the host check-in stand is off putting. It leads me to believe that is a reason for the long lines to get in on the weekends. Not sure why the decision was made to change from the standard way of doing business in a restaurant but suggest they rethink it. read more

The view and vibe for this place is outstanding. Really cool to watch planes landing and taking off. Service was also extremely fast and the servers were nice. It was the food I didn't care for. It's like a diner quality. What's up with the O'Brien potatoes obsession in Camarillo. They aren't good. My husband did enjoy the tri tip sandwich. read more

WARNING!!! If this is your FIRST time here or if you're with a large group make sure you review the menu because you will order your food before you're seated! Came here for a business meeting with a group of five and ordering before being seated COMPLETELY caught me off guard and honestly absolutely soured my experience from the get go. All five of us were caught off guard by this fact. So great start to a business meeting. We stood around awkwardly at the front as we all decided what we wanted to drink and order. I was hoping we would sit down, order our drinks, talk some business, order food, talk some more, then be good to go. Nope, just awkwardly stand around for 10ish minutes trying to figure out what everyone wants, completely unprepared. Food: Was remarkably bland. All five of us ordered something different and none of the five meals were good. They were all incredibly meh. My partner got the pumpkin pancakes and they tasted like they were made by La Croix. It was pancakes with a HINT of pumpkin. I got the chilaquiles and my biggest pet peeve is when they use chips out of a bag instead of fresh frying tortillas, the flavor was semi decent but it was ruined by the sharp hard chips versus the overly soggy chips drenched in sauce. The three other clients were also not impressed with their food. Service: Service was half decent as they did have a full staff. However, after we finished our food they left the plates on our table for 15-20 minutes before clearing them out of the way. It was infuriating as multiple workers walked passed and was willing to top off our waters but couldn't be bothered to pick up the empty dirty plates. Business complaints from an industry professional: Amex is not accepted here, which is wild because two people in front of us tried to pay. The illogical choice to do that when you have a Toast system that costs thousands of dollars but you draw the line at accepting Amex because what? It's too expensive? Wild. Also, why have and pay for the most expensive, top of the line point of sale system if you're not even going to use it or utilize its features? Don't pay for a Ferrari when you want a commuter car. Also, why in the world have people order at the front then sit down when it's a diner cafe and not a to-go taqueria? So much lost revenue opportunity by people not being able to add on drinks, sides, extras of any sort. Absurd. I can't imagine going to ihop or dennys and having to order before I sit down. In my personal opinion that ruins the entire experience for this kind of venue. Top 5 worst restaurant experiences I've had in my life. The only benefit of going here will be the fact that I can compare it to any other bad restaurant experience, "at least this time wasn't as bad as waypoint cafe" and then you have a good laugh. read more

No words but how cool that by the time you last order is taken the first person who ordered has his/her food already. That is a game changer in the restaurant business. And being right on the airport is such a Vibe watching the planes come in. Heaters are over you so don't worry about the winds cause you are covered. The ambiance is so chill so take a date or the whole family. We went with a part of 14 and the food for everyone was amazing We'll definitely be back read more

Death, taxes and another delicious meat at Waypoint Cafe in Camarillo. This past Sunday, I ordered the Tri-Tip Sandwich. It had been a while since I've lately ordered breakfast, including the Carnitas and Tri-Tip Omelettes. Each time I order this sandwich, it tastes better and better. This particular time, a different type of bread was used. It was delicious and it sure hit the spot. Bon appetit. read more

Food, milkshakes and airplanes. Must try if you are near Camarillo. I would recommend getting in earlier than expected because the line to be seated gets long read more

Everything is great -- sandwiches, fries, service, view of the airport, but I'm really here for the milkshakes. Best in town for sure

Food was pretty good. Good options for both lunch and breakfast. We had one of the omelets and the turkey club sandwich. The sweet potato fries were delicious and perfect amount of crunch. Service was okay. We had to order at the counter before sitting with our party. That is a little hard to do when you have a couple little ones and meeting up with a group. Wish we could have ordered and sat down even. They require you to order with the whole party before sitting down. Again, just imagine when you have two babies you are also carrying in along with their car seat, diaper bag etc. I really enjoyed the ambience. It was a cloudy/drizzling type of day but love the view of the airplanes. We will come back on a nicer day to check it out. Also want to check out one of their milkshakes which we did not this time. read more

Very disappointed. I used to love coming here and enjoyed the food. This time I went during brunch time and they were fairly busy but things were moving fast. We got our food shortly after being sat but rarely got checked on, had no idea who our server was. I ordered to go and waited nearly 40 mins for my order which I unknowingly saw sitting on the counter for the longest time. There was nobody in sight for me to ask to check in on it but I'm disappointed. My to go order was brought to me cold and no longer fresh and by now it wasn't as busy. Don't know if I want to come back anymore read more

First time coming here with my boyfriend,and it was amazing to say the least, great customer service, great food ! Definitely recommend the chicken&waffles, and the blue cheese hamburger. Will be coming back here again every day if I could lol read more

Absolutely delicious. Very busy, we went for breakfast. The atmosphere is amazing. Service fantastic. The food was divine. Very expensive. 3 people for breakfast was $90. Yikes! Other than that, nothing short of amazing. read more

We arrived here shortly after it opened and there was a line out the door. The way they have it set up is very efficient and appreciated as we had a child with us. Use your time in line to decide what you want, because they take your order at the door before you are seated. We choose to sit closer to the planes which was great because there was lots of space to get up and walk around if kids don't want to sit still while waiting for the food. It's such a cool atmosphere! You can watch the planes fly in/ leave and before you know it your food was here. I would say it was very solid breakfast food. Nothing to write home about or particularly memorable. Apparently they are known for their tri-tip which they serve on weekend afternoons till it's sold out (I saw them cooking this on our way out). I'd definitely recommend visiting, especially if you have kids! read more

The eggs were over cooked and the bacon was burnt. You place your order at the entrance and then they charge you for your meal, there's a sign that say they are adding a service charge for the eggs because of the price of eggs. So, at least they should get it cooked to order. Then you pay the tip in advance, so you really don't know how the service is going to be. My service was mediocre at best, once I shard my opinion about how the eggs were cooked, I never got asked if I wanted a refill of my coffee. So, i paid in advance for mediocre service. The place is nice with it's aviation them, but this is way over priced for the quality of food and service. read more

My wife and I put our names down on the waitlist. About 10 mins later a couple walked up and was told by one of the employees the wait was going to be around 35 mins. A few mins later, another employee and host, Andrew, came out and hugged the couple and within a few mins they ordered food and were seated. We all remained outside, still waiting. I confronted Andrew about this and asked him why the couple (whom he knew) were allowed to skip the wait, cutting in line ahead of several other parties waiting. Andrew did not respond and blew me off. Alma, the manager, spoke with me and said she would find out what happened. My wife and I left and haven't heard back from Alma or Andrew. This is the second time Andrew has let someone he knew cut in line. The first incident was over a year ago and my wife and I confronted him and he lied about it. Andrew is unprofessional and doesn't have the courtesy to address his favoritism allowing people he knows to skip the wait, even after getting caught in the act. read more

First time here, I Ordered the bkfst burrito, and it was just perfect ... also had the cinnamon roll, and also it was perfect, loved the extra cinnamon sprinkled on top. This place is a must visit if you're driving through Camarillo or traveling on the 101 FWY. The ambience is very relaxing, and the service is excellent as well. read more

So good! Loved my bbq chicken salad! This place has evolved quite a bit over the years! Their patio options are great! Especially if you like to be close to the runway! The service is great-very friendly and attentive team of servers always passing by and asking if there's anything you might need. I highly recommend coming here for lunch or breakfast! read more

I've had Waypoint Cafe on my radar for quite some time and I finally had a chance to mark this place off my checklist. Ok, our mistake that we went on a Sunday before noon. This place was packed and the wait for a table was about an hour. Still, the staff/operations does a great job turning tables and they provided water for us waiting in line. Next time I think I'll hit up the mimosa bar in the back area while I'm waiting. At least we'll get something to enjoy in a shaded sitting area. Once we were seated the wait service was solid. The food was good and the portions were generous. I really enjoyed my corned beef hash which definitely didn't seem like it came from a can. The biscuit and gravy was massive and truly could have been a meal on it's own. Topped the brunch off with a mocha milk shake and I was ready to float away. Overall Waypoint Cafe is a great hidden (but not unknown) gem. If you're not pressed for time I would recommend checking this place out. read more

New setup. Best French dip Sammy and fries you will ever have. I guarantee it. View is third to the fantastic service and food. Food is #1.

I never thought I would say anything bad about this location, but my most recent visit was not great, a big line upon arrival was normal, the line moved pretty quick, you now order and pay before you ever sit down. We chose the inside, the music was so loud we could barely hear ourselves think, the food was great and there was almost no waiting period, no one checked on us until we were finished eating. I brought guests from Austria and I actually couldn't wait to leave because of the noise and the music. All in all, it's more like a factory than a diner now and I doubt if I'll be returning. read more
