    Came here for a late lunch with my girlfriends that were visiting from out of town. Service was great because our drinks were filled and food came out pretty quickly. The portions are Large!! I got the short rib sandwich with sweet potato fries. One friend got the carnitas nachos (also sooo tasty) and another got a shrimp wrap. No drinks for us but the happy hour menu looked fun. Would love to come back and check that out b

    I just discovered the Barrelhouse and now it will be one of my favorites to come to. The food is amazing and so is the service. I had a hamburger for lunch and I must say it was the best hamburger I have had in a long time. The meat was charbroiled and juicy and the buns were nice and toasty and the cheese had a white cheddar to die for. The onion rings were the best I have had and my friend had fries which were excellent. It has been a long time since I had such a great lunch. I am not stretching the truth either. The Best and oh soooo happy. Zangi

    Strawbaneros people .. don't forget it. Make sure you order it when you get here. They are strawberry habanero wings, and they are delicious! Sweet and savory. Their guac was delicious too. They have great beer selections and the staff are super friendly.

    Chicken wings.

    Sad to see this establishment close. Best wings, fries and burgers in Ventura. Great atmosphere.

    Garlic Truffle Wings

    Came here on a Wednesday after just getting into town. The allure of The Avenue Burger but once I got here, I noticed the 3 fire signs next to it and confirmed with the waitress that it's really spicy, so that's a no go for me. The waitress mentioned it is 50% off wings from 5pm-10pm on Wednesdays and since truffle wings is actually the first item shown on Yelp, I figured it's a go! I went with the lemon & herb dry rub and strawbanero per the waitresses recommendation. Apparently they are the only place that does strawbanero which is sweet and not too spicy. The results? Strawbanero was a major hit! Haven't had anything like it and sort of wish the whole batch was Strawbanero. The lemon & herb was nice but nothing unique. Actually needed to use ranch with it as it is a dry rub, and somehow the lemon & herb ended up spicier than the Strawbanero. The only downside is that the majority of the wings are chicken legs and I much prefer wings instead. I added a beer batted shrimp taco which was part of happy hour until 6pm on weekdays and it was delicious! It solidified the 5 star rating. I even finished the tortilla and its fillings after I was done eating the whole shrimp since it was tasty.

    We checked this place out while in California and it was good! It's definitely low key cali vibes, they have a huge selection of drinks which was cool and a variety of food on the menu. I got a poke bowl which I am always on the hunt for and it did not disappoint. We were a large group and staff were super attentive and friendly. If I ever find myself back in this area I would come back and try some other things on the menu!

    The restaurant is located behind the gas station. About a block away once you exit the freeway. This was my first time being here. When we arrived, the restaurant felt warm and stuffy, in which, I wanted to leave but I was assured that the food was good by others in my party that had been there in the past. So we stayed. When we arrived, there was a couple sitting at the bar. 3 tables were occupied in the entire restaurant. So basically it was pretty much empty. Now as for our waitress, which I can't remember her name, but she had mentioned that that was her first job working as a waitress - which would be ok if she was more attentive. She was only attentive while taking our order for food and drinks. The food order was entered and we received our drinks. After that, she basically disappeared on us. I tried to flag down someone else for refills but seemed like they would avoid our area. Our waitress was busy talking to several other co-workers behind the bar. I guess because we were a party of 6, in which 20% tip/gratuity is automatically added to the bill, she no longer needed to give us service because she was going to get 20%. Once the food came out, a young guy brought us the food. I had to ask him for refills in which he said he would ask our waitress because he could only bring out food items and sides like ketchup and ranch. Weird! Once we received all of our food, FINALLY the waitress arrived to see if everything was ok. I asked for a refill because apparently she didn't see that our cups were empty. Asking for refills is my BIGGEST PET PEEVE! The food was really good. Food order: I ordered the Capitan's Combo ($19) - (beer battered with fried fish and shrimp, comes with fries but I upgraded to beer battered onion rings for an extra $2.50). My wife ordered the same combo with regular fries in which they were not seasoned/salted, but plain (fries were bland). My wife also ordered bone-in chicken wings, flavored Strawbanero ($17). They were delicious. They were crispy and juicy, well cooked. The marinate was kind of like a thickened sticky teriyaki sauce. Great flavor, then if you add some ranch, the strawberry flavor comes out even more. My brother in law ordered The Avenue burger ($20) which does have 3 flames on it. He loves spicy food, but this burger was even more spicy than he thought. He didn't add extra spicy sauce, but was almost having trouble finishing his burger. Sister in law ordered Nachos ($12) with skirt steak (+$6). They came in a basket, a very good portion. One of my niece's ordered the same Strawbanero bone-in wings, and the other ordered a burger. All of our drinks were sodas, waters, and unsweetened drinks. Our bill was over $200. Overall, I might not be returning or if I do, I'll ask for someone else!

    Blueberry Mead, Happy Hour Menu
    Erin W.

    Great vibes, was bustling at happy hour on Wednesday- half off wings! Always a fun chill place to catch the game, grab drinks and wings or the short rib melt and a big plate of garlic fries with friends. Excellent happy hour deals and of course tons of drinks. Not just beers but cocktails, seltzers, ciders, sours, and meads. I tried the blueberry mead, which was a delightful sweet treat and such a pretty purple color. Lemon herb wings were crispy, tangy and ranch was plentiful. Fries always fresh and crispy. Waiter was very sweet, checked on me several times and was generally friendly. #1 spot will be back!

    Drinks and appetizer only: This is my first time within Barrelhouse 101- Last time I visited this place I was sitting in the parking lot during Covid. It is certainty nice to curl up to the bar and receive some good service in a bar like environment that offers tables, high tops and beer seating. Our visit was primarily to enjoy some good beers on tap. My partner wanted to stop in as they have a German beer that he likes on tap- its hard to find his chosen beer on tap in southern California- so worth a stop in if you are a German beer fan. To compliment our drinks, we ordered a plate of onion rings with blue cheese. The onion rings were good- nice and big and "meaty." Plus with house made blue cheese! During the week I see that they have a fabulous happy hour Monday- Friday from 3-6pm with drinks and food. The drink menu includes an array of beers for five dollars, five dollar wines and six dollar cocktails. Plus bites and appetizers that range from four to six dollars that range from fries to tacos to poke. Something for everyone! The restaurant does have a parking lot! Great thing in Ventura. Plus you can find on street parking and a city lot not too far away. Plenty of parking in the area.

    So grateful for the late seating/dining... we came a little before 9pm (noticed a couple other parties came in for food too) the gal was so sweet! Can't remember her name but she was very helpful and attentive and not "rushy" at all! So the reason for the 3 stars (and not 4 or 5) is because of the quality of our food. My short rib grilled sandwich was tasty but unbelievably drippy to the point of sick soggy. One half of the sandwich was literally sitting in a puddle of juice on the plate. I set it on a pile of napkins and soaked up some of it. The half that ate first, while it wasn't soggy, it was super drippy. But tasty! I chose not to send it back because it was late, last call for the kitchen and I was starving. My husband's patty melt was mediocre, not much flavor and just drowned in 1000 island dressing :o\ Our side salads were awesome, very fresh lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes. I think we'll give this place. Another try and with that said I would recommend coming here.

    Came in to dinner with my family as we walked in we where greeted right away. 15 minutes to sit down we had a party of 9. The server right away let us know that they charge gratuity to party's with 6 or more. So we waited for the rest of my party, me and my wife ordered a drink. 10 minutes after we got our drink, everyone got drinks. Then we ordered all our food as we watched the GSW game, the setting was dime lights semi busy but started to get abit busier as it got later. Took about 20 mins to get our food. My wife's order was incorrect and my son's was too. My food was good I ordered the 101 burger aka the fresdy burger Towards the end of our dinner we had order some Green tea shots (since they didn't have Green beer). We waited about 15mins to get our bill plus our Green tea shots.......smh well I guess things change like the menu....Idk

    The food was great. The server was great Mary was awesome.Everyone made birthday girl so happy.

    The food portion is LARGE and unfortunately very oily. My Philly cheese steak was sitting on a pool of oil which made it very soggy and hard to eat. On a more uplifting note, I suggest going during happy hour for beer and cocktails. The staff was also very attentive, kind, and had the place very clean!

This bright blue food truck has always caught my eye and I finally made it in for lunch. Being a food truck, the vibes are super casual and laid back. You place your order, then grab a seat at one of their picnic benches and soak up the sunshine. The staff were incredibly nice, and the sweet little touches like the handwritten note on the to go bag were just too cute. We love those kinds of vibes! Here's what I got: Single Smash Burger: A solid and delicious smash burger! The bun was pillowy soft, the patty had a nice crust, and I'm always a sucker for cheese, thin sliced lettuce, and a thousand island style sauce on a burger. No frills, just super satisfying and done right. Cosmo Fries: Honestly my favorite bite of the day! Loaded fries topped with cheese, onions, burger patty, and their pink sauce...absolutely insane. SO good. I loved the skinny fries they use, and since everything was made fresh to order, the fries stayed extra crispy even with all the toppings. My biggest regret is passing by this food truck for so long without stopping. That was genuinely a stellar smash burger and fries combo, with the added bonus of such friendly and welcoming staff. Next time you're walking around Downtown Ventura and want a casual outdoor bite, definitely make a stop at Cosmos Smash Burgers. (Located at the Channel Islands Juice Co. parking lot just fyi).

The Highlights: * The Potatoes: These were easily the star of the plate--absolutely amazing and perfectly seasoned. * The Huevos Rancheros: Very delicious, though it is worth noting the sauce had a bit of a spicy kick! * Customization: The meal usually comes with beans, but I opted to skip those this time. * The Smoothie: The mango smoothie was a delicious and bright accompaniment to the savory eggs. One Small Note: The only downside was the condiment setup. While mustard, mayo, and ketchup are conveniently located on the table in a wooden caddy, you have to get up and grab salt and pepper packets from the station by the soda machine if you need them.
