Our waiter Danielle provided excellent service--I can't express enough how much I appreciated the attentive and friendly experience. The beer was served ice cold and was the perfect size for a hot afternoon. The Cobb salad was excellent. It was fresh, generously prepared, and included every ingredient you would expect. We also received the extra side of blue cheese we requested, which was appreciated. We also ordered the bacon cheeseburger. There was nothing wrong with the burger itself--it was cooked well and prepared nicely. My only personal preference was that the barbecue sauce was a bit overpowering and masked the flavor of the bacon and beef. If you enjoy a stronger barbecue flavor, you may really like it, but I would have preferred a lighter touch. Overall, we had a very enjoyable visit thanks to the excellent service, refreshing drinks, and fresh food. We'd be happy to return.

Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience at Wood Ranch. It took quite a while for our…read moreserver to greet us, and when he finally came over, his attitude felt dismissive and unfriendly. We asked for kids' menus for our 12-year-olds. He looked at the kids, said he would check, then disappeared for about 10 minutes before returning to tell us they could not have kids' menus because they "looked over 10." The way it was handled felt unnecessarily awkward and unwelcoming. We also asked whether we could briefly charge a phone and were told no. At that point, after the long wait and poor attitude, we decided to leave. The entire interaction made us feel like our business was not wanted. We expected much better customer service. Very disappointing.

Wanted to go on a Saturday adventure and came across the Yelp reviews for Old Place Steakhouse,…read moreespecially the reviews mentioning their Thick Cut Bacon. After reading those reviews, I decided to make the trip for lunch. The cutoff time for lunch is 4 PM, so I headed out and was very eager to finally try the place. When I arrived at Old Place Steakhouse, I noticed how secluded it was, tucked away in the corner. There is parking in the back in case there isn't any available in the front. When I got out of my SUV, I immediately enjoyed the scenery and the rustic vibe. Since I wasn't familiar with the layout, I walked around for a bit and eventually found the To-Go area. Here's a tip: If you park in the back, walk toward your left and look for the restroom. Walk past the restroom, and you'll find the To-Go section. When I arrived, I was welcomed by a friendly staff member named Christina. She was very welcoming, and we had a great conversation. I told her that I had driven a long way and that the reviews about the Thick Cut Bacon were one of the main reasons I wanted to visit Old Place. She mentioned that the bacon is prepared in-house and hand-cut, which made me even more excited to try it. I went ahead and ordered: * Thick Cut Bacon -- 3 pieces * Oak-Grilled Steak Sandwich with Mixed Green Salad * Homemade Iced Tea The Oak-Grilled Steak Sandwich comes with sirloin, Bleu Cheese Aioli, and grilled onions. The side salad comes with mixed baby greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and their house-made vinaigrette dressing. The Iced Tea was infused with rosemary and lavender -- highly recommended! While waiting for my order, I found a table and sat down. Once my order was ready, it was placed in a bag, and I started taking everything out of the containers. I was ready to finally try the sandwich. This was one of the best steak sandwiches I have ever had. The Bleu Cheese Aioli and grilled onions complemented the sirloin extremely well and added plenty of flavor. Of course, that's just my personal opinion, but I really enjoyed the combination. The side salad was also great, and I especially enjoyed the house-made vinaigrette dressing. Now, let's talk about the bacon! The bacon was fresh, and the pieces were very generous in size. I could taste the smokiness, and I really enjoyed the crunch of the outer edges. After hearing so much about the Thick Cut Bacon in the reviews, I'm happy to say it lived up to the hype. As for the drink, since it was a bit warm that day, the Iced Tea was perfect. It was refreshing and very welcoming. There is only one size available, but it was a very generous portion. I loved that I could actually taste both the rosemary and lavender without either flavor being overwhelming. Overall, my experience was great. The food was delicious, the rustic scenery made the trip feel like a little getaway, and the customer service I received from Christina made the experience even more worthwhile. In my personal opinion, I would definitely recommend Old Place Steakhouse if you're looking for a nice getaway with great scenery and a good lunch. I would absolutely come back, especially for dinner, so I can try more of their menu.

Uncle Af's in Agoura is one of the go-to places that students and families have been going to in…read morethe area for years. It's located in the small to medium size outside shopping plaza in Downtown Agoura and right next to the elementary school and high-school. The same owner has been serving customers for years and is always a delight to talk to. My boyfriend and I came here the other day to grab lunch to-go and bring it to the beach to eat. We ordered and it didn't take too long to get our food, as I also peeked next door at the consignment store. They did pack it a little different than I thought they would, putting both sandwiches that we ordered into one aluminum tray with the fries on top, but that's alright. That being said, we ordered two sandwiches, some fries, and drinks (they have cold or room temperature). The chicken burrata with pesto is always my go-to and is so good! It has a classic taste that never gets old, and the flavors in the ingredients all mesh well together. My boyfriend got the Prosciutto Panini and he said he really enjoyed that one, too! *One note is that a good amount of years ago, the owner used to make his own teas and juices for customers; they were always so fun to try. If you're a local and you haven't been yet, what are you waiting for? I'd recommend going for lunch. If you're visiting the area, it's also worth stopping by since Agoura doesn't have many of their own small businesses and restaurants (especially affordable ones that are good.)

SO upsetting from this restaurant, especially since they were promising. We spent just about $40 on food and drinks, just to throw out my whole meal after only a few bites! I felt so bad for wasting it, but went from really hungry to literally not being hungry in the slightest. It wasn't in my partner's food, and yet it still grossed them out enough to stop eating, as well. We would have went back and gotten a refund if we weren't already sat at home with the to-go food. You can tell the cleanliness is not being kept up with over time and that their standards for being hygienic are not a priority. I would skip next time if I were you!!

Real mesquite-smoked bbq in Thousand Oaks…read more Subconsciously, I think of the late, great, Anthony Bourdain when I think of being in an unfamiliar area. What I mean by that, is 1 small thing you can do to het acquainted with an unfamiliar area is to try local resturants. I knew that I was going to be in the area, so I Yelped nearby bbq restaurants. In these kinds of instances, I'm so glad that Yelp exists. Fellow yelpers didn't disappoint. FOOD: "4 Meat Combo" consisting of... Tri-Tip - 9.2 / 10 Personally, I think this is their strongest foot forward. I'm a "beef boy" & I think a smoked tri-tip is highly underrated. I was incredibly impressed with how moist it was even after I reheated in the oven as leftovers. Taking a rather rougher cut of beef & smoking it to incredibly moist tenderness is a thing of beauty. If you were only going to get 1 protein, it should be this. Hot Links - 9.0 / 10 Such a hearty portion & bite. Texture is very consistent & has a very pleasant, smoked, subtle pork flavor. Sausage isn't always immediately on my bbq "must-haves", but theirs makes me a believer in sausage as a bbq protein. Chicken breast - 9.0 / 10 I was pleasantly surprised to see that they offered chicken breast. I think a tell-tale sign of good chicken breast is that it isn't dry. Busters' chicken breast is no exception. It was so incredibly impressing to see just how moist their smoked chicken breast was. It was such a generous portion too. Those who fear dry chicken breast will become believers with their rendition. Garlic Bread - 9.0 / 10 I'm rather impressed with such a generous portion & how consistently toasted their pieces are. A very nice crisp & garlicky bite. Baked beans - 8.5 / 10 Arguably my favorite bbq side. I usually prefer a thicker sauce, as their version is quite thin, but that is perfectly fine. One thing I enjoy is that you can dip your meats in this thinner sauce so as to add another layer of bbq flavor. Macaroni Salad - 8.7 / 10 My favorite of the salad offerings. Provides a cool, refreshing bite. There's something cooling - like dill / mint. I can't quite put my finger on in. If I was going get a salad again, it would be this one. Potato Salad - 8.4 / 10 It's always nice to have a potato side when having bbq. I prefer a mashed potato most of the time, but their potato salad is a lighter + refreshing bite. The mustard cut through the smokiness of the bbq. Spicy BBQ Sauce - 9.0 / 10 Be careful! I love spicy. In fact, 9 out of 10 times, no restaurant ever makes me "feel the heat" whenever I ask for a really spicy dish. Their spicy bbq sauce is not for the "faint of heart". I would reckon that they use a healthy helping of habañeros in their own recipe. I kept going back for water when I should had order a refreshing, Tractor-chilled beverage. There's always next time. Huge, huge shoutout to Adrian for being so incredibly welcoming. I wish more front-of-house staff were as kind, approachable, & enthusiastic as him. He appreciated that it was first time visiting. He answered all of my questions, offered recommendations, & made sure that I was comfortable during my whole dining experience. Truly an M.V.P. of this establishment. I will happily come simply because of how superb his service was. Support local .Busters OG BBQ + Grill is a solid, legitimate bbq establishment. I appreciate the simple, no-frills, fast-casual setting. No pretentiousness. They let their food speak for themselves. & when you have a gigantic smoker out on the front, your know you're in for some real, legitimately-smoked deliciousness.

Sorry I forgot to take any pics but honestly it's more about taste than what it looks like here but it looks good I wish I had taken a picture of the ribs at least or the drinks. Oh I had a coffee tequila martini thing which looked amazing and tasted even better. The habanero sauce by the way comes in a small container and it is very hot so you don't need a lot.
