    Pigs in a blanket w/side 2 eggs
    Rebecca G.

    A hidden gem! In the heart of old town/downtown Oxnard, parking is a little challenging on the street but there might be more in back? This is an incredible breakfast spot! But their menu is huge! And not just breakfast! My husband stumbled upon BG's a few weeks ago and just loved it! So... with great pride he took me here for breakfast and it was so good! The service was great, we were offered drinks right away (sadly they were out of orange juice) and after our drinks were brought out we sat for quite a while before anyone came to take our order. My husband had to actually make a point to say "we're ready". Honestly throughout our meal our server was very friendly and attentive. My reason for 4 stars and not 5 wasn't because of that but rather what they charged us for our 12 oz iced teas at $4 each. Way overpriced! BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse only charges $2.79. I also think $6 for a side of 2 fried eggs is a bit over the top. Just saying... I absolutely plan to come back and definitely recommend giving them a try!

    Veggie Omelette
    Beckie B.

    My husband and I love this place and have been going there for breakfast for years. It has the old diner kind of feelings and the staff has remained the same for year too. The food is consistently delicious. The owner, Jose, takes pride in helping the staff and also welcoming his customers, so we feel like family going there. Angie, our waitress, has our breakfast ordered memorized, and even now that we moved away and only go there when we are in town, still remembers. I always have the egg white veggie omelette, with sautéed spinach, onions, mushrooms and fresh jalapeños, perfectly seasoned. Inhaven't found a better omelette since we moved. We highly recommend going in and try it for yourselves.

    Classic eggs and bacon with a side of Avocado and Diner coffee!!

    I can't believe that in all the time I've been coming to Oxnard for work, I've never stopped by BG's cafe. This is your quintessential local's diner. Classic breakfast and lunch offerings among other things. However they cater to the locals, lots of mexican breakfast options, and you can choose tortilla as side instead of your typical toast options. Today was a breakfast kind of day. Bacon, eggs and coffee. Not pictured was a side of salsa they brought me that really kicked the whole meal up a notch. For a Monday this place was packed, but I didn't wait long for a table. The service is great, everyone was very attentive and food came out hot and fast. ! The inside is cozy. The walls decorated with old photos of the city and surrounding areas, random knick knacks sit on shelves as if you're in someone's grandma's house. One thing that made me exceptionally happy is that there is lots of booth seating. Even the tables in the middle of the room have booth seats. Classic and no fuss. This place has definitely made it to my list for go to diners next time I'm in this area.

    Oatmeal Combo
    Carolina L.

    We didn't want a big breakfast due to an event we would be attending. I love oatmeal and so that's what I ordered. It was creamy and delicious! The locals seem to love this place and I can see why. Staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant looks like a hole in the wall but it's not, very deceiving. It can accommodate a good amount of customers

    One of the must try if you're ever in downtown Oxnard. This restaurant has been around so long, you can see cool historical artifacts and photos here. Food is always flavorful, never need to add much to your plate. They have a variety in the menu and look for their specials as it's not on the menu. Service is friendly. There's plenty parking in the back if you have trouble finding a slot in the front.

    Despite the rainy weather, this spot was worth the drive. Started the visit with nice warm tasty coffee & hot chocolate. The server was friendly and attentive. Our plates took a little time and the coffee was refilled while we waited. The french toast touched with orange and vanilla was delightful. The ham steak & eggs was good. The biscuit & gravy was delicious with butter or gravy. Overall great small family style restaurant with traditional menu, warm atmosphere, and friendly service. Check it out!

    Pozole verde special
    Rene R.

    I've come to BGs and had delicious food before but this last time was lackluster. I hate giving bad reviews but this is just for the dish and not the restaurant itself. Waitress was nice and attentive. Cafe was bustling for a Sunday morning. Just this pozole was no bueno. The broth was very thick. My mom complained that her chile verde was not servers HOT, just warm. Hoping next time will be better!

    Chorizo Omelette, country potatoes, biscuit, gravy and coffee.
    Ealeen B.

    This place doesn't disappoint me every chance I come here. It has that typical Mom n Pop local cafe settings. I come here for omelets, biscuits and gravy. Their price has gotten higher but what hasn't. Today, I had Chorizo omelet with country fried potatoes, biscuit and a side of gravy. I also had a decaffeinated coffee. The whole meal including the tax is $25.00. Their portion is big so I can only eat almost half of the servings. Their food tasted like they are home cooked. The biscuit is bready which I like and the gravy is not overpowering. They make their own chorizo. Presentation is good. Until my next visit but this place is highly recommended.

    Country Eggs Benedict
    Angela C.

    What a cute little gem in downtown Oxnard! Everyone was so friendly and I loved the homey feel of the restaurant. There was a good variety of kids' options, which is a plus as my toddler is especially picky, but he loved everything he ate. Shout out to their country Benedict - heavy but beyond delicious.

    French toast
    cynthia g.

    First time here I was impressed w the food, a little bummed they didn't offer mimosas but everything else felt like I was in someone's home kitchen, the waiter lagged with my coffee even tho we asked him about 3-4 times, we eventually just got up and served our own coffee, overall Goode experience tho god I finally got to try it and we will be back

    Nopalito Egg Scramble with O'Brien's potatoes, coffee and a grilled Jalapeño!
    Miguel R.

    So I woke up in need of some Sunday morning nourishment! I went to my downtown Oxnard old reliable and once again BG's cafe didn't disappoint! I wanted something savory, somewhat healthy and that I wouldn't feel self conscious about later in the day! So I ordered the Nopalito Scramble with perfectly seasoned O'Brien's potatoes (totally worth the extra apostrophe). The egg to veggie to nopales ratio was on point and I even ordered an extra flour tortilla as the portion was more than I thought I could pack into two palm sized glorious breakfast tacos! The grilled Jalapeño was the perfect compliment and of course the never ending hot coffee fresh off the pot fill-ups were on the spot! Overall, I enjoyed it very much! You can tell by the ambiance that this is a great escape from the usual taquerias and chain restaurants in the area! Like a breath of fresh air-- BG's came through to solve my ever growing search for something different in Oxnard! Service was friendly, on point and I appreciated them coming by to check on me multiple times throughout my breakfast even though the place was packed and busy AF!

And let me tell you, when you're heading to an island for kayaking and hiking, securing food starts to feel less like lunch planning and more like wilderness survival strategy. The online ordering process, though, gave my husband a minor technological character-building experience. Not especially intuitive or user friendly. Then, on the morning of the trip, we weren't entirely sure where the lunches would actually appear. Tiny scavenger hunt energy. Thankfully, they were waiting for us at the ferry office, and we both immediately took the same relieved breath: "Excellent. We shall not perish on the island." The sandwiches themselves were genuinely delicious. I had the Caprese, my husband had the turkey baguette, and both were fresh, flavorful, and substantial enough to fuel actual adventure instead of just delaying hunger by 20 minutes. Each lunch box also came with chips, Fuji water, and a chocolate chip cookie that quietly stole the show. Soft, delicious, and exactly the kind of reward you want after hauling yourself around an island pretending you're far more athletic than you really are. By the time lunch was over, I was happy, full, and fully prepared for the next round of kayaking and hiking. Which is really the highest compliment an adventure lunch can get.

ICED MATCHA W/ STRAWBERRY COLD FOAM If you're a matcha lover, this one hits and it's a bit sweet (no complaints here). It's just good! They've got the brightest pink cold foam in the game, super refreshing, and just really well done. Is it ceremonial grade? I don't think so but sometimes a good matcha with fun foam is just what you needed regardless. WATERMELON MINT REFRESHER Not a coffee person? Their fruit refreshers are dangerously good.
