Service was friendly and drinks were just all right. It's very hard to find drink spot where the Matcha is made right instead of just thrown in as powder or under whisked. Felt a little silly being in a beach house inspired place with country music playing so the ambience was a little bit confusing but very on brand for this part of town. They seemed really busy and lots of food orders so they've got to be doing something right! I will be back to try again!

Chips and Salsa

Love Makenna coffee so I stopped by the Beach House. Amazing prices and I adore the large selection of sauces! Also, the vibe of this restaurant is rare to find in Simi -- chill, but not boring! I loved the music they were playing and felt like a great place for a younger crowd to hang out! The staff were all teenagers and I think it's great to keep the vibe of Makenna young & fresh but if they could be a bit more inviting and attentive to customers that is my only critique! I had to wait a bit to get someone's attention to grab my food and ask a question.

ITS FREEZING IN HERE . It will be wonderful in July , not so much in Decembrrrrr. Good thing i had a coat in the car . The tacos here are amazing! I had the Lonestar and the brisket was so incredibly tender . a tiny bit dry but nothing a little sauce didn't solve . The Pier is to die for teriyaki shrimp and pineapple the seasoning nicey spicey exactly how i like it ! I went back for seconds on the Pier . The shrimp was perfect not rubbery or overcooked . The only thing i would improve and i'll ask for next time , double tortilla on the Pier as it's pretty juicy and mine fell apart . It's a finger food so i indulged . For sure I'll be back to try the smash burgers and some of the other tacos . Loved it! Kate and Manny Peyton were terrific hosts ! Great staff here Kate gave great recommendations for dinner and Manny was on it for round 2 of the pier . Food came out really faster than expected . we will for sure be back!

I walked in and it was immediately greeted by a friendly face. I got a coffee and my boyfriend got a burger and both were very yummy! This place is super cute inside and it is busy for a reason!

If you already like Makenna Koffee co, then you'll appreciate the new Makenna Beach House. Now you can grab your favorite drink and pair it with a solid meal, all at prices that feel really fair for what you get. I tried two tacos - vegan and shrimp. The shrimp taco was really good, and the salsa bar with multiple green sauces definitely leveled up the flavor. It's not the best tacos I've ever had, but it's tasty, filling, and perfect when you want something quick and easy. The space is clean, colorful, and casual with both indoor and outdoor seating. Service is fast, pay-at-the-counter style, and there's parking in the small plaza. Great for a quick lunch or dinner stop while getting your coffee fix.

Cookie Butter Latte
Seth M.

Went to Makenna's to get some coffee and learned this place specifically is much more! I decided to get a cookie butter latte and it was pretty good! It had a good milky taste that was enhanced by a slight mix of cookie butter! The menu is pretty big and has a variety of items that I hope to try in the future!

California Smash Burger & Carne Asada Fries
Jessica C.

Establishment was clean, ordering was fast and easy but menu was small and can be hard to read if you don't have great eye sight. Food came out in minutes and had a big selection of sauces for your tacos or burgers. Initially came in for tacos and then realized that one taco for $4-$5 was outrageous so I got a smash burger because I thought the pricing was a bit more sensible. Smash burger is nothing to write home about and is smaller than it seems. Flavor tasted like my dad made something similar on his grill at home. Carne asada fries seems to also lack flavor but is the right amount of flavor for the people of Simi Valley. Thin cut fries with a weird imbalance of fries to sauce. I prefer half and half but they were really heavy on the toppings. Would come again if I really just needed a burger that wasn't in n out but I typically go to Makenna for their coffee. I'll come again to try out their burritos. TL;DR: the food is made appropriately for the demographic of Simi Valley.

Drink it up yo!

The unflavored ice tea was delightful and no need to sugar to make it taste moe better. This place is well lit too

This place was recommended to me by my neighbor. So far I have only tried some of the coffee drinks. I enjoyed the blended drink I ordered. And it was reasonably priced. My neighbors ordered quite a few different tacos that smelled amazing. I will definitely be going back soon to try the food. The menu is so big. It's really hard to choose because there are so many items. Hopefully soon they will have a big menu to view. They were just taped up in the walls so it was hard to view with two people and look at them standing in line. I felt pressured to hurry up and order because of the set up. But the employees were very friendly and helpful. The salsa bar they had sounded awesome. They had quite a few to choose from. The flavors sounded great. The only thing I Didn't like is the salsa bar is not near the employees to kind of monitor. It's off to the side and completely open. It just kinda weirded me out. I will definitely go back to try some more menu items, food and coffee wise. I enjoy the nice outdoor seating they offer.

Best chicken sandwich ever

Best Smashburger ever and the gorilla fries are amazing. This place is better than the In-N-Out. I love it. I wish all the McKenna's were like this. Omg the chicken sandwich I love it. I been here more than 5 times love it!!!! And the price can't beat it anywhere so cheap Omg time like this! This type place you need

My friends and I came here for dinner the other night and I was absolutely blown away by this spot…read more Visually, it's a stunning place and they've done a fabulous job with the aesthetic as it's the kind of place that feels like a party. Neon lights, cute signage, and overall they just did a really great job with the design and execution. There's a lot going on but it doesn't feel cheap. Ambiance is definitely A+. For dinner on a weeknight we found this spot wasn't too busy but we also came after happy hour. It was a relaxed vibe. Service was overall pretty good. I felt like all of the gals working were very very sweet and nice. Also, anytime we stopped them to ask for refills and such we got what we asked for. That's my only upgrade as since it wasn't super busy, it would have been nice for the staff to catch the refills on water or salsa on their own/more proactively but hey, it was again a relaxed lowkey night and the staff couldn't have been lovelier. I'm just curious how the service would be if they were super busy? Now on to the food and drinks. The menu was very impressive! Solid cocktail and drinks menu. I'm bummed I didn't get a cocktail but my party doesn't drink so it was more fun to get an agua Fresca with them. The guava one was good and served nicely chilled. However, next time I'll definitely get a cocktail because their drinks looked fun and beautiful. The food was definitely the standout for me. I ordered the cheese enchiladas Suizas and they were a 10/10. Not comparable to most enchiladas I've had but the sauce was fantastic and unique. I really loved these enchiladas and I'd honestly get them again. Solid flavor in the rice and beans as well. My friends also enjoyed their meal and it seemed like everyone was happy. The pricing is a little steep for Mexican food but also the ambiance and presentation make sense to me why it'd be a little more. For the three of us the bill was over $100. And that's for three mains and three non-alcoholic drinks. Normally at $33-ish a person I'd hope for at least a beer with my enchiladas, so keep that in mind. As a special occasion place or a spot to celebrate this spot is truly fantastic. I honestly loved my meal so much that even with the price point I'd rush back and bring more friends because this spot is vibey. Nice staff and a cute spot to diner, 5 stars in my books given the quality, taste of the food and the overall experience.

First time we went to this establishment mariachi local Grill and Cantina is hands-down bomb ass. I…read morerecommend this place to anyone. The tacos are off. The hook and portions are great. You don't go home feeling hungry. The staff was stupendous. It was a great evening and a nice place to check out for the first time we will be back if you guys want great tacos great salsa and the drinks are unbelievable and I think it's reasonably priced B V Simi Valley CA

Wasn't obnoxious about giving good service but on top of it. Got our orders right, was accommodating. I love the ambience. Not California dining with bright lights and high noise level. Old time sexy ambience where you think the couple in the next booth might be having an affair. I'm on the west end of Simi so I forget about Sutter's. I'll make more of an effort however. Cherry cobbler excellent.

I had been here years ago and remembered it being a solid steakhouse type restaurant with good comfort food, so we were excited to come back. First off, the restaurant itself is beautiful -- huge booths, cozy lighting, and a great atmosphere. We also had a young waiter who was absolutely wonderful. Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and truly the highlight of the experience. Drinks also came out quickly and were strong. Unfortunately, the food completely missed the mark. I ordered the half rack of ribs with a loaded baked potato and salad. The 4 little ribs were tiny with barely any meat on them, and the baked potato tasted strange -- almost like artificial butter or margarine instead of real butter and sour cream. There was hardly any bacon and way too many green onions. The salad was basically chopped iceberg lettuce with a clump of what looked like canned tomatoes on top. The blue cheese dressing was actually delicious, but overall the meal was disappointing, especially for $33, and I honestly left hungry. My husband ordered the BBQ grilled chicken and the chicken breast was shockingly small -- it honestly looked like a kids meal. The fries tasted like basic frozen fries. My son's mac and cheese was honestly awful and tasted sour. A box of Kraft would have been better. The cheeseburger was average at best -- I've genuinely had better burgers at youth soccer tournaments. It really feels like this restaurant is struggling when it comes to food quality and portion sizes, which is unfortunate because the location, ambience, and service all have so much potential. I felt bad because our waiter truly did a great job, but good service can't make up for disappointing food at these prices.

I can't believe it took us this long to finally go because WOW! First of all, Todd and Melanie are the sweetest. So welcoming, so friendly, and just genuinely great hosts. They made the whole experience feel relaxed and special without trying too hard. The atmosphere completely transported me. It felt like we were in Paso Robles or Temecula on a random cozy wine night. Dim lighting, great energy, amazing pours. Ugh! such a vibe 10/10. For wine, I had two glasses. The NV Malbec and the 2023 Rosé of Pinot Noir. The Malbec was 100% hands down my favorite. Bold, smooth and packed with flavor..... just how I like my wine! The rosé was crisp and refreshing too. Anyway, if you love good wine and great service, this place is a total hidden gem. We'll definitely be back for more wine!

For the most part people just hang out at their table. The great part is that you can bring your own food and they have nice live music ( think Hotel California, and California Dreamin type of tunes). The crowd is mature and laid back. I like that people could bring their dogs and let them walk around, but in the back of my mind I was worried about stepping on someone's paw or in a puddle of #1. Luckily that didn't happen. The owners are really nice said they're expanding so that's great news. They have a nice selection of wine. On their paper menu. Tip- scan their QR code and you'll find more drinks- my group stuff two bottles of wine but I believe I saw someone drinking a glass of sangria? Nice to have a spot like this in town to relax and BYOF.

As I entered into the bowling alley, it'd be my first time there I wasn't sure exactly where the bar was located so I came in through the front entrance, which was the main entrance. And as I walked in the first thing that I saw to the left side was a facility called rock 'n' roll pizza so apparently this is the food that this bowling alley has to offer, which is all basically bar food and with the exception of making pizzas. I'm a real stickler when it comes to cleaning this this establishment rock 'n' roll pizza really needs some really deep cleaning especially everywhere throughout that front kitchen area where it's visible for everyone to see at that walks by. And also the appearance of the employee should all maintain a certain type of uniform and not all wearing different pieces of garment. All employees with no exceptions should all be wearing hair, nets, and or hats to cover their hair particles from falling into any of food preparation none of the employees whatsoever we're wearing any hat, nets or hats. This was a big concern for me. Food handling, and food safety is very imperative.. Not sure who the manager was at this location no name tags on the employee so really couldn't identify who they were. There was two female females and a male the mail was making pizza.. So bottom line the review is basically on the rock 'n' roll pizza bar area. It really needs to look be looked at. I will be there again in amend this review for the whole bowling alley.
