Wow! What a great find in Thousand Oaks…read more From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The service was great. Our server, Michael, was incredibly kind and attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and raved about how delicious the food was. He was right! The food was excellent! My ribeye was tender and cooked perfectly. My husband's meal was equally as good. We will definitely be back. It was a fantastic place for our date night but I think it would be equally nice for a celebration.

We had the family schnitzel and it was delicious, crispy, fresh and the salad is perfectly dressed. The coffee was smooth as well. The staff was so personable and attentive. The decor and ambiance did not disappoint! We were trying to find something to eat on a road trip and we're feeling disappointed that mostly everything around was chain restaurants and places that lack any personality, we are so glad we tried Phil's. Phil's has a human that feels like it is becoming rare in a sea full of iPad restaurant experiences. We will definitely be returning back and recommending to friends. If you are in the area this is your place.

Crispy outside with a kick (your choice of heat levels) covering a moist meaty chunk of chicken. French fries are just as good. Smash sauce is very good and also has a slight kick.

They have shuffleboard, beer pong table, and TVs to keep you entertained while you wait for your food. Unfortunately a big group walked in 15 minutes after us and I could see our food was just sitting ready at the kitchen counter after the chef rang the bell to let the worker know it was ready. The worker was busy answering their questions and putting in their orders that our food just sat there until I finally got up to ask him if I could grab it. I heard another woman who was frustrated at pick-up as she was waiting a while for her food. There definitely needs to be more than one person at the front on a Saturday night. Overall, enjoyed most of the food. Would come back for the loaded fries and smash burgers. Didn't love the chef special.

We popped in to Boney Mountain Pizza for the first time...busy Sunday evening (sports stuff) but…read morethe food was great. Service was quick considering the crowd, pizza was really good (I mean if you think you can find something better than Venice, Italy is only about 7,000 miles away!). The thin crust was done just right-slight crunch, the toppings-extremely tasty. The buffalo wings and parmesan wings were very good as well. And yes, they serve a good selection of beers, 805 went well with the pizza. The ambiance was that of a sports bar and was perfect for the cause. *Boney Mountain, please keep doing what you are doing cause we'll be back!

If I could give more stars I would... for our server Rhonda! If you go to Islands asked to be put…read morein her section. Actually, if you're lucky enough you will be put in her section. I can say hands down that was the best service that I have ever received at a restaurant. (As a former server myself) I like to give my servers as much grace as possible, but Rhonda did not need it because she was so badass. I was there on Tuesday around 4ish with my husband, 2 young children and MIL. We were greeted right away (also to note the host was VERY on top of it as well) took our drinks got in our kids food, then returned quickly to get our order in. She was very knowledgeable about the menu had the best attitude ever and really made it an enjoyable experience. Promote this woman right away, give her a raise whatever you gotta do to keep her because we will absolutely be coming back, not for the food but because of Rhonda.

The ambiance at Islands is always what keeps me wanting to come back. The surfing vibes, as well as…read morethe extreme sports that they play on their tv's throughout the restaurant, are always fun to watch. But at this location in Thousand Oaks, it was rather a bit quiet and a little different from how I had remembered them. When we came in, we noticed the hostess wasn't there and so we had to wait for someone who was cleaning the tables, and actually ended up doubling as both. We ordered with our waitress who took our food and drink orders right away. Although AFTER that, it was IMPOSSIBLE to get her attention or get any help, and there were easily less than 10 parties throughout the whole restaurant, meaning, it was a slow Happy Hour. There weren't that many workers, and seemed pretty understaffed, but we were able to ask someone walking by since we didn't have anyone else other than them to really ask. We got our food and drinks not too much later and were excited to start eating. Their frozen strawberry margaritas during happy hour are such a good deal for the size and quality of the drink! They taste so good and are a favorite of mine. The hamburgers that we got were good, but the fries, as expected, were better. Their seasoning is really good and great to add in their island fries. Something we noticed was that the Happy Hour sign that they had at the front of the restaurant said it was everyday, 7 days a week, but another sign deeper in the restaurant said M-F, although it really IS NOW 7 days a week. I feel as if I've been seeing less and less Islands, and in order to stay afloat, they might need to advertise their new Happy Hour more and maybe make more changes. I'd love to still see them around though, and I'm hoping to see more pop-up!

This Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill is at The Oaks Mall…read more Today I stopped by to place an order to go. Upon entering I noticed how super clean this restaurant was & so were their restrooms, highly organized & attention to details. This Wood Ranch has seating inside, booths, table and chairs, the bar area, and enclosed area. This restaurant is beautiful inside & of course the workers here too! This Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill atmosphere is Classy, Elegant, chic, Very friendly, Warm, Cozy, Inviting & Welcoming. I've have known Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill since I was younger, they always have Great Service & Great Delicious Meals here! Today Esme, Sol, Rook were both in the front. I asked them what soup they had today, since it does change ever so often. Today they have their famous Tri- Tip soup! I also asked them some other questions & and the answered them all beautifully. Next they send me across the area to have a to go order, that's when I met Ethan. I asked Ethan how much would it cost if I got 3 orders of Tri-Tip soups to go and extra famous garlic rolls! So instead of 3 orders I got 4 ha! The total was $40.54. Which I thought was a great price for their always Outstanding & Delicious Meals here! Ethan told me it would probably take about 10mins I told him it's fine, cause I saw how busy it was there. I actually didn't have to wait 10 minutes. When I got home I heated everything up and it's Flipping Fantastic Deliciousness!! Mouthwatering, Super Savory! Ethan quickly came out and handed my goods! I beyond thrilled. Ethan was super sweet, kind, caring, very genuine, very knowledgeable, super down to earth! Ethan has this super positive upbeat energy about himself that truly radiates!

I ordered 2 California breakfast burritos for pickup. They were ready within the 10-15 minutes as promised. The California breakfast burrito comes with eggs, potatoes, cheddar cheese, avocado, and your choice of meat. I chose bacon for my burrito. The burrito was delicious. It is big enough to split between two people. It comes with salsa and thirsty sauce to add on top. I recommend this breakfast burrito and would definitely come back to get it again.

This place is cool for Dinner but too chaotic for breakfast…read more We stayed at the neighboring hotel and Mikey's is right across the parking lot. They also have a contract with them to serve their complementary breakfasts so we decided to hit them up for dinner. When we entered we were greeted by Mike, at least I thought it was as his shirt talked about how good/cool Mikes are. He was very nice and accommodating and made some recommendations. I was intrigued by his description of the Dynamite Sticks and promptly ordered the ground pork version. When they arrived i started to get a little apprehensive by the look of them but within ten minutes we had emptied the plate. It was a little too spicy but I enjoyed them. A while later my Rib Eye entree arrived and it was good and priced fairly. I feel the salad seemed a little bland and basic but I still crushed it. All in all the dinner was a good and pleasant experience with just a bit of wait. The next morning we went for the hotel's complementary breakfast. It was slammed so we grabbed a spot at the bar. It took about 10 minutes to get or drink order in and another 15 to get our order in and when we did we were rushed and the waitress walked away before we could order more food as the Hotel's complementary breakfast meal was far too small. We were there for about an hour before we got our food. It seemed as though the workers were confused and running in circles. Food tasted good and they even had the good creamer for the coffee. Also, Mike seemed to be there in the morning too and good thing as he seemed to show up and get everything going. I would definitely visit this place again but not for breakfast.

I'm currently staying at the Palm Garden Hotel, and we were advised that the complimentary…read morebreakfast included with our stay is served at Mikey's Restaurant. I thought it was a little odd that we had to leave the hotel and go to a separate restaurant for breakfast, but we decided to give it a try. We were greeted and seated without any issues, but unfortunately, the experience quickly became very unpleasant. The employees had their own children in the restaurant, and the noise from them playing became unbearable. It got to the point where we felt like we had to hurry up, finish our food, and leave instead of being able to sit and enjoy our breakfast. What made it more frustrating was that the parents were there and could have gotten their children under control. At one point, the mother was pushing their stroller back and forth throughout the restaurant while the children continued making noise. I understand that this is a family-run business, but customers should still be provided with a reasonably comfortable dining environment. The food itself was just okay. Since it was complimentary through the hotel, I can accept it for what it was, but if I had paid the regular menu prices for that food and experience, I would have been pissed. It simply wasn't worth it. Overall, I will not be coming back. The food was average, and the atmosphere made what should have been a relaxing breakfast unnecessarily stressful and unpleasant. I would not recommend this restaurant based on my experience, very unprofessional.

Cause and effect - after JoAnn's closed in the adjacent shopping plaza, I've been coming over to…read morethis area much less frequently than I used to. As a result, Dear Hubby and I haven't been close by to Little Calf to remember to stop in for quite a while. Recently, though, after a nearby medical appointment I felt like some non-dairy ice cream. It was a Saturday in the mid-afternoon, and they weren't very crowded, which worked out great for us. They always have at least four options for frozen "ice cream" without the cows' milk dairy. Having just been through an MRI test, I decided to treat myself to a small sundae. Hadn't had one in ages! Their hot fudge is outstanding! Just the hit of chocolately goodness I was craving. I paired it with lemon sorbet. It was a wonderful combination of sweet and tart. It was warm enough to sit out on their side patio and just relax for a while. I remarked to DH that I miss all the plants that the previous business owner had kept out on the patio for atmosphere. The current iteration is clean, but on the boring side. We love their food, so I'm overlooking the lack of ambiance for now. That being said, DH and I have been discussing recently how much we miss the kinds of places that used to have great style in their decor. Theme restaurants are more rare these days than they ought to be. I'm sorry for our kids and grandkids that they don't get to experience more of those kinds of visually interesting kinds of places without having to go to a theme park. I definitely enjoyed my small sundae as a wind-down from the whole MRI experience!

They got a variety of ice creams, some common ones but also some new ones. This is the first place I ever had a chance to try the espresso ice cream, which is ice cream with a shot of espresso, and it was delicious, especially as a coffee lover and ice cream lover. Kids devoured all their ice cream, which is rare for them to do. They also serve food here, which we did not get to try but is good to know is an option. They have tables everywhere and a fountain machine and some unique teas I got to try, like their lavender tea! This was beautiful and so amazing. I can't wait to come back and grab another ice cream espresso from here and maybe try one of their sandwiches. Yum!
