    Squeaky Clean Best CHeeseburger and Fries on the West Coast in decades of being out here. Perfectly cooked burger, bun and cheese. Fries cooked in clean. clean oil to DELICIOUS GOLDEN BROWN!! Lightly salted. JOLLY KONE IS A MAJOR LEAGUE WINNER!!!

    GETTING HERE: Navigate to the address listed here on Yelp. I am not too familiar with the ins and outs of Ojai and this located off the path (at least in my opinion). Jolly Kone is located on the corner of South Lomita and West El Roblar Drive. Directly across the street from A-1 Mart. REVIEW: So good! Such great tasting food. First-timer and will be visiting again v soon, actually probably sooner than soon. :) I am so thankful for Yelp for showing me places I never knew of otherwise! We ordered: Chocolate shake, Zucchini fries, Turkey sandwich, and Corn Burritos with cheese. I will search for better vocabulary terms to describe how great tasting their food is! The Corn Burritos with cheese actually stole the entire show. The added cheese was perfect! The young lady who took my order was super friendly. Was patient with me while I asked all the things about the food because their menu is HUGE. That alone warrants another trip because there's ^more food I need to try here. I loved the vibe of this place, too. There are tables and chairs under big umbrellas where you can eat your food (if you choose) as you order from a walk-up window. It gives me a 50's Happy Days type of vibe (but outside seating only). I will be back. And, I highly recommend Jolly Kone! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

    YUM YUM YUM!!!! I ordered the pastrami burger, chicken wing combo, cheeseburger, and corn borritos. Absolutely delicious! Everything. Lynn was the cashier, and she was a sweetie. She had the kindest smile as soon as I stepped up to order confused because I didn't know what to get at first. The outdoor seating with the umbrellas was just perfect, even on this warm day. There's a HUGE menu, so I have to get to work if I want to try more. Haha.

    This little place is a gem! Great burgers, fries, onion rings, shakes n boba teas! The pastrami sandwich is outta this world! So is the Ortega chilé cheeseburger. Nice crew, fast enough though it gets busy. Slightly pricey but it's worth it. Beautiful location tucked away on Roblar St, Ojai hills surroun I've been going there for years, just acquired my first T Shirt from them.

It's an iconic Japanese Wagyu Burger restaurant in the middle of Downtown Ojai! Inside seating at the front of the restaurant offers street views of downtown Ojai... Interior seating offers epic murals of printed advertisements from old time Japan... Outdoor seating is just as picturesque with painted murals with cute & adorning phrases! Let's make this place viral and The Place to dine whenever anyone visits Ojai, spread the word and share this review! I visit at least once a week now since I ride my bike from Ventura via the Ventura River and the Ojai Valley Trails... a marathon ride! Their menu is vast and their daily special is the best value. For less than $15 you can have a delicious Wagyu Burger (with cheese - I order mine without) with fries AND a drink of your choice! Of course a generous tip will bring it up to $16-18!=o) The owners are most friendly, they're both from Tokyo! Brandon is the best... He opens early whenever there's someone waiting for the doors to open at Noon. I was here around 11:35A twice and he opened the door, gave me ice water, said I can use the bathroom and he'll take my order as soon as he's ready. I ordered l, paid, and received my food before the restaurant was opened for business! He said that he thinks that this is what his boss would do since he saw him do it... Now, that's elite service, above and beyond call of duty! Additionally, they play 70s, 80s, & 90s Pop Music! My first 2 visits here turned me off since the music had vulgar f words with mentioned body parts... I was going to mention it on my 3rd visit but they changed the music. Must be a change of personnel?=ox Anyways, what are you waiting for? Bring your families & friends and come visit, eat & tip well, take a lot of pix & vidz... believe me, you'll be taking some inside the bathroom too!=o)

The service was very good and a few of us saved a large booth as the others went next door to the cantina...there was a good number of folks in there already eating...some locals, you can just tell-made me feel better.

The brewery is super cute and cozy, with wood/black accents and a boutique shop in the corner featuring local artists. There is plenty of places to sit inside or outside or at the bar. The bartender helped me pick a beer, and it was happy hour, so I only spent $5 on my 16oz pour :) We shared the Krupuk and pickle plate. Krupuk = airy tapioca chips, melt-in-your-mouth or crispy, with two flavorful sauces. It was a pretty large bowl so great for sharing. The pickle plate was lovely, 4 types of pickled vegetables (cucumbers, red/white onions, and bell peppers) which went great with the krupuk. Great place to pass the time!

    Little Sama Ojai!…read more Took the wife here thinking to share a dish and order small things before the drive back to the OC. Oh we left filled! Located inside the Topa Topa Brewing Company, as soon as you walk in you will see the tap bar, to the left you'll see where you place your order for Little Sama, even more to the left is the food menu. It was very tempting to try a beer from Topa Topa since it was our first time at both these locations, but also our first time in Ojai, but man the heat destroyed me (when does it not) and I knew the beer would just make me even more hot and bloated too. We were at the location on a Thursday late afternoon, not too many people, few people coming in and getting either their after work brew or shoot maybe one before their shift starts. It was happy hour for Little Sama which we took advantage with one of the dishes which I will discuss in a bit. Plenty of seating inside and outside, as well as two unisex bathrooms, to the right side of the bar. The girl working was very helpful on giving us good recommendations which we went with: Okonomiyaki Tots (Happy Hour Item) - Now most places when they have happy hour and these items are on there, its usually like half the portion or something, they gave us a lot, so I am curious what does the non-happy hour order look like. One thing for sure is I am super glad they gave us this much because these were bomb and dangerous. The tater tots were fried perfectly that it held its crunch even with the Okonomi Sauce and kewpie mayo. I usually don't care for pickled cabbage but that perfectly balanced the whole dish that I found myself poking the cabbage and spinning it like spaghetti, then making sure it stays in place by capping it with two tots. Damn delish! Korean Fried Cauliflower - This is to this date, the best fried cauliflower dish I have had, actually lets expand that to the best cauliflower dish I have had. Again perfectly fried where you had a little bit of a crunch but still had the nice pillow-whe feel of the cauliflower. That sauce though! It was so damn good I obviously finished the dish, but at the end my fat boy habits came out and I scraped the whole plate so all the sauce would combine again so I could use the last of the two cauliflower and drench em down! Can I get this some how over here to the OC PLEASE! Top Sirloin Katsu Sando - I don't know how they did this not only were they keeping the crisp of the sandwich along with the katsu, they didn't clash to where it was just to crunchy, they blended so well together. That miso garlic cabbage slaw just really put everything together into just a umami explosion in the mouth. The Krupuk chips were delicious, I was going to knock a star off my review because either they weren't fried all the way or maybe that could just be the chip themselves, but do check your chips, sometimes in the center is a very hard part while surrounding it is the regular chip like texture. The wife bit into it and the shock of not expecting that hard texture, irritated that side of the jaw for a bit. In conclusion as mentioned above I started off with a 4 star review because of the chip, but that was the only thing. I just think putting out that delicious food, having one of those dishes being the best I have had, it deserved a 5 star from me. Imagine enjoying the beer which without a doubt would have some that pair nicely with each dish! This restaurant will be one of those ones that will make it hard to try anything else in Ojai. Why? Being our first time in Ojai, it is hard to say when is the next time we will return, but when we do, why would I try any other place out when I can finally try this place again!
