    We've been to the Lebec location a couple times and decided this Valentine's Day to take a little trip up the mountain to try this one out! We heard they brought back our all time favorite Mango Habanero wings and we were excited to see if they were as good as we remembered and they 100% were! The wings aren't tiny little wings like BWW has had as of late, these are meaty and fully sauced wings. There were people playing pool in the back bar / lounge area and some sitting at the higher bar stool type tables just enjoying conversations. They have cards and uno, and dominoes available to play if those are more your speed. My fiancé even got a fish taco because he really loved those at the other location and he really enjoyed that as well! Lori was so sweet and brought us a bowl of warm water and lemon to wash our hands after the sticky wings and that was so thoughtful and much appreciated! We definitely will be back because I know I will be craving these!! I'm coming for those loaded baked potatoes too!!

    Brisket Meal Combo with Potato Salad, Beans, Mac and Cheese

    So excited there's a solid BBQ spot up in PMC -- this place totally hits the spot. As soon as you walk in, the owners are right there to greet you and take your order. They're super friendly and actually take the time to chat, which makes the whole experience feel really personal. The place has a relaxed bar vibe, and there's even a jukebox, which is a nice touch. The BBQ is made fresh every morning, and you can really taste it -- everything was flavorful and cooked just right. It's a bit on the pricier side, but honestly worth it. Plus, I got to shoot some pool while waiting for my food, which made it even better. Only thing I'll mention is that the mac and cheese tastes more like Alfredo pasta than your usual cheesy mac -- but it was still really good in its own way. I'll definitely be back. Great food, great vibe, and the kind of place you actually want to hang out in.

    A hidden gem up in pine mountain that we stumbled upon after a staff day away in the mountains. We saw hungry als when we were about to come down off the mountain and we were thrilled it was open (on yelp it said weds it would open and today was a holiday so i thought it was closed). It was a small interior with some booths and tall tables, along with a bar and a pool table. We had 6 people in our party and so we did 3 double meat meals that came with 2 sides each and rolls. We got the brisket, tritip, pork ribs, and We got some extra hot links and Mac and cheese and we had plenty to eat! We had extra sides at the end we took home. The owners were super nice and brought out a salad for us to share. Al came out and chatted with us and he talked about all his experience all over the country with bbq and how his secret is this pure salt from Mexico that you just need a Little bit to go really far for flavor. You can definitely tell! It was not overwhelmingly salty and the meat was so delicious, perfect soft texture, moist, delicious flavor, you didn't even need that much bbq sauce in my opinion. All the sides were also delicious- the beans, Mac & cheese & rolls were spot on. We will be back and be bringing friends! Also I'll be stopping at their other location right of the 5 (run by Al's son) whenever I'm driving the grapevine to LA now!

    The best Mac and cheese! We ate outside and had a view of the mountains which was so nice. Chicken had good flavor and the price was very reasonable for this special combo. The lady who helped us was super kind and friendly. Would definitely return!

    What an awesome BBQ restaurant!! Nestled in PMC village sure by pine trees is the best BBQ spot I've had and I've had it all over the country!! I ordered the 2 meat plate with tri tip and ribs and sides of Mac n Chili beans! Food was so good I wanted to cuss!! Hands down best ribs you'll find! Perfectly smoked and seasoned and of course fall off the bone! Tri tip exploded with flavor!! Another bold statement is best Mac n Cheese I've ever had and I've had a lot! Don't believe me go check em out and see if I'm lying!! Also the owners were very friendly as well! Al comes by every table to chat, I told him this is the Best BBQ I've ever had!! He smiled with pride and said I hear that a lot but I appreciate it!! What an awesome response!! Worth the drive from where ever you're at!! Can't say enough!! We will be making this trip a few times a year at least!

    Nice addition to PMC! I called with questions, the lady I spoke with was super nice and even texted me their menu since it's a bit different from the Lebec location. We got pulled pork Mac & cheese, side of hot links and slaw. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable! And yeah the food was really good. The pulled pork basically melts in your mouth. And hot links had just a bit of a kick.

    Delicious food accompanied with the greatest of service from the friendliest staff in the cool weather.

They set up the patio and had salads ready on the tables, plates, napkins, forks, and put out water and lemonade for us. The patio was sunny and cute with picnic tables and umbrellas. The pizzas started coming out almost immediately and everyone agreed the pizza was delicious!!! Top notch quality and salads were fresh and yummy.

They have beer on tap and a full bar for those who wish hard alcohol. The pizza is truly excellent. He ingredients and toppings are plentiful and they make a great thick or thin pizza if you're looking for a fun night, at a restaurant that serves Italian food, that you can bring your kids or just your friends. This is the place to go. The parking is either outback or in front. The front does have stairs that when it snows are a bit slippery. They have a front deck that you can eat lunch or actually think breakfast if you're so inclined. The prices are pretty reasonable . They do take credit cards or cash and there is no service charge for credit cards.

I was tired of fast food on our road trip and wanted something more real. We stopped here to check it out and everything about our experience was perfect. From the moment we walked in the door we were greeted within 30 seconds even though the 3 servers on the floor were VERY busy, they got back with us within a minute, sat us, and immediately got a drink order. When they came back they asked if we were ready to order. We were in a hurry, so when the Server came back to quality check our food we ordered dessert to go and asked for the check so we could get back on the road as we were eager to get home. We were so impressed with our service and honestly, the delicious diner food, that we planned to stop here again on our way home from our yearly trip this year. We had a different server this year, but everything about the experience was identical. Wonderful, tasty, timely, kind... Thank you, Willow Ranch staff, we will certainly make you part of our plan every year! I also wanted to note that I am a career server and the details matter to me. It is so amazing when someone like myself can receive the kind of service that I am proud to give when I'm working. I also witnessed the front of house staff engaging in friendly banter with the kitchen staff and I just love that. I am also close with the team on our line and I think that makes a huge difference in the overall performance of the restaurant.

    If you know anything about Gunsmoke BBQ and Beer in Santa Paula, you know their barbecue already…read morehas a solid reputation....but finally making it into their restaurant just confirmed everything I'd been hearing. I've had the chance to try their BBQ at local events around Ventura County, and it always left an impression. They make some darn good BBQ. BUT for this visit we ended up highlighting something just as exciting...their vegetarian options! It definitely says a lot when a barbecue place has great non meat options. I came with my friend Raquel (yelp elite) for lunch and we went all in on their vegetarian plates...well with one exception, we ordered the deviled eggs too. Let's start there: Their famous Candied Bacon Deviled Eggs are a must. Creamy, flavorful filling, lightly battered egg, topped with crispy bacon...yeah, they're as good as they sound. 10/10. Now for the vegetarian standouts: The Fried Avocado Bites were simple but done so right. Perfectly fried and paired with house made sauces that really brought everything together. Super shareable and perfect as a starter. 10/10. The Cauliflower Tacos were a reminder that you absolutely do NOT need meat for a great taco. These were hearty and loaded with (again) incredible sauces. My friend was obsessed and I get why. They were good, but I would prefer a meat protein taco at a spot like this. 7/10 for me. Beyond the food, the experience really shines here. The space has this perfect mix of country charm and rock n roll edge which is such a fun vibe. Service was top notch, and we love when owners are present and genuinely care. They stopped by to check in, which always makes a place feel extra special. And shoutout to our server Bentley, an absolute sweetheart. Next time you're in Santa Paula, do yourself a favor and check them out.

Gunsmoke is located in Downtown Santa Paula. I didn't pay close attention but I don't believe they have private parking. If you don't know SP, there is street parking and some parking lots. I would be mindful when you are planning to come for parking. I came with a friend midday so there was plenty of parking and seats as well so we got seated right away. I was happy to see the non meat options they have available. I was a bit bummed out they didn't have their hummus but it's just another excuse for me to go back. I did end up getting their cauliflower tacos. My friend got their avocado fries and their devil eggs. I had never had devil eggs, and tried those and were so good. I wanted more but I had already had all my tacos. I did appreciate the owner coming to greet us and finding out I was pescatarian. He was nice, mentioned that even though they are a BBQ spot, they still want to value those customers that don't eat, and asked if there's anything I think of to let him know to see if they can add it to the menu. Really appreciated that. Overall, bummed out I wasn't able to try their BBQ. The options I did try were all really good. I would come back.
