We came based upon the reviews. It did not disappoint. The local community enjoys this establishment. They were friendly to us, our server was talkative, and recommended places to see during our stay. The burgers and fries were out of this world. The beer selection is great. After trying my bf's French fries, I kinda wished I didn't get the burger and salad. Oh well. No wait. Fast service. Tasty food. Excellent prices. $-$$

It's a little confusing inside. You can buy alcohol from the shop and take it home. You have to…read morebuy from the bartender in order to enjoy it inside. The menu is small & there's lots of fried & dairy options. I'm glad I opted for the fish tacos. I omitted cheese & sauce I asked for the avocado sauce that was on the vegan cauliflower tacos. The bartender was kind enough to bring it to me but told me it's usually a charge. (I get it everything has gone up. ) My fav part about this place is they have Apiary drinks. They are so light , crisp, and get u loose. I forgot which ones I purchased but they are sooo amazing!!!!!!

Visited Ojai Olive Oil as part of our day trip from LA and really enjoyed the experience. Compared…read moreto another olive oil tasting we did in Paso Robles, this one felt a bit more fast-casual and relaxed--which honestly wasn't a bad thing at all. It gives you the freedom to taste everything at your own pace. You order the tasting first, then they give you a tray with delicious sourdough bread from a local bakery. The staff explained that the balsamic vinegars are imported, while all of their olive oils are produced in-house, except for the truffle oil since the local soil isn't suitable for growing truffles. After that, you head over to the tasting section where you can grab samplers of the olive oils and balsamic vinegars before finding a seat outside under the olive trees. The space itself is beautiful and peaceful. There were around 10 olive oils and 10 balsamic vinegars to try. My favorites were the TH (Tuscan Herbs) olive oil and the traditional balsamic. The flavored balsamics were interesting and fun to taste, though I still personally preferred the classic options. Overall, such a fun and worthwhile stop if you're in the Ojai area. Paid $20 for two people. Also, bonus points because they happily give extra sourdough bread if you need more :)

Found this place last-minute this weekend while my girlfriend and I were having a girls weekend and…read morestaying at Ojai Valley Inn. We wanted a fun activity and saw an Instagram video of the experience. Overall, the tasting was super fun! Got to mix/match diff oils and vinegars and play around with the options. Ended up buying two of our favorites. One thing to note - They used to have cute wood boards with clear markings of the different types of offerings so that you could keep track more easily and it sounds like from the attendant they are bringing those back again (by popular demand). It certainly would be more aesthetically pleasing than a black plastic cafeteria tray. The bread served on our particular day was also a bit too hard so the inside pieces would crumble a lot. We were able to ask for another piece so that we could use the sturdier outside areas and they were gracious with that. However, for $20 really can't complain! With a few minor updates to the board/bread, they could prob sell this experience for far more $ and get more visitors! :)

The Farmer and the Cook -- Fresh Finds Off the Main Road…read more I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect walking in for the first time, but The Farmer and the Cook won me over pretty quickly. It's bright, clean, and has this easy organic warmth to it... the kind of place that feels like it was put together by people who actually care. Right off the main road, easy to find, and the family vibes are real. It's the kind of spot you want to linger in. If you're navigating dietary restrictions, this place is a quiet goldmine. Strong gluten free options, a genuinely vegan friendly menu, and plenty of vegetarian choices too... so everyone at the table actually gets to eat something they're excited about. That's rarer than it should be. The food? Solid. I went with the raw tacos, sopes, and huarache; all filling, all fairly priced for the area. The raw tacos especially surprised me... fresh, flavorful, and not in a "I wish this was a real taco" kind of way. These hold their own. Service was quick and most of the staff had a warm, genuine energy about them. The one small snag; the cashier seemed to be having a rough one. A little gruff, made me feel like my first visit was mildly inconvenient for them. It happens, we all have bad days, but first impressions do stick a little. Overall though, I'm absolutely coming back. There's more on that menu calling my name and an atmosphere that makes it easy to slow down for a bit. Whether you're vegan, gluten free, or just looking for something fresh and honest... this one's worth the stop.

A really difficult review to write. On the one hand, decent food, and decent environment…read more On the other hand, very dramatic and poorly managed "community" space. I was poisoned there with food that I am allergic to by a spiteful employee. Management not only never apologized, they never did anything. The results were lab tested. I went over and above to give them a chance to be civil and professional, and they came up a complete blank. So sad

They have some tastings and it was interesting that 2/3 cabs were from Santa Barbara but one was from New York. They have ready to made sandwiches and salads in their fridge with fresh juices. We got some salami and a beet hummus. Apparently the beets are from their store's backyard? They grow their own vegetables which is cool. They have plenty of outside seating with shade and a fan. A nice location for relax and snack.

This time, we're camping in Ojai and we decided to come here for lunch before heading to our campground at Dennison Park. This time around, we ordered: - Antipasto Salad (good) - Medium Spinach Pizza (yummy and cheesy) - Lasagna (good and cheesy) - Pasta Alfredo (yummy and creamy) - Ravioli in Pesto Sauce (ok, we could have skipped this) - Strawberry Shortcake (yummm) Before we got seated, we had a long wait since they skipped our name on the wait list. Booo! We went up to ask them and got seated shortly after. By then, we were all hungry for food! Good thing that the food was delicious.

We were already pretty full from spending the afternoon in town, so we ordered a pizza to share, the scampi pasta, and a Caesar .The pasta was delicious. The pizza had a slightly off taste to me personally and the toppings seem to slide off, although the rest of our group seemed to enjoy it. The staff were very friendly and accommodating throughout our visit. The restaurant is situated on a main road and the seating outside is really nice. We also ordered the strawberry shortcake, and it was amazing. The strawberries were fresh and it was definitely a highlight of the meal. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and a nice spot!

The spicy chicken burger was loaded with crispy fried chicken and came with fries.

Ordering is done first before getting seated, and a number is given so the staff can bring the food over. Inside, the Japanese-style wallpaper gives a totally different vibe compared to the outdoor area. Definitely a must-visit spot when in Ojai.
