    Great sandwich shop in Ojai! While visiting, I overheard several people talking about MJ's and couldn't resist trying it out! I placed an online order, and it arrived incredibly quickly. I ordered the Three Peat, but I requested it to be prepared "Hot/toasted." It was quite saucy, so be sure to bring have some napkins. They also offer pickles if you'd like! A few seating options inside or plan for take out! I highly recommend checking out MJ's if you're looking for a delicious sandwich or hot dog!

    Cute sandwich shop! A solid sandwich, I can't remember what I got maybe the Italian sub? (Can't remember the name) staff was super friendly and sweet. :)

    So glad I got to try this deli out! I ordered an everything bagel with lox and the chickpea salad. Everything was so fresh and flavorful, and the service was wonderful as well. There isn't a lot of seating indoors but there are a few tables outside, so probably best to get the food to go if you're able to.

    Quick service, cute little spot, BIG & meaty sandwiches. I loved the Calabrian Mayo! Worth a stop.

    Shop mailed back my bag!

    Writing this review because 1) their sandwiches and potato salad are incredible and 2) the staff are the kindest people ever!! They mailed my bag back to me when I lost it! Diving into the details 1) I ordered the New Yorker sub and it was STACKED! The sandwich is so big that I I shared it with my partner and it was plenty. The best part of the meal though was their potato salad. The seasonings and flavor were very stand out. The potatoes were the perfect texture too! I loved it and would highly recommend! The entire meal was perfect for a hot day. 2) I lost my reusable bag here when visiting Ojai and was honestly pretty sad about it. I figured I should just call and see if I left it at the deli. Sure enough it was there and the staff was super kind to ship it back to me along with a sticker! THANK YOU SO MUCH MU'S DELI. I will be back next time I visit Ojai

    Good sandwiches. Good selections. A little pricey but so is everything in Ojai and I've never regretted eating here. Good pickles too.

One of the hosts spotted our carrier and asked us what is inside. He then quipped how he hasn't seen a guinea pig at the restaurant before and directed us to a table outside. Mind you, it was hot and I could feel mosquitoes biting my exposed legs. It became unbearable in a matter of minutes. Moreover, my guinea pig requires a temperature controlled environment and can't survive in that heat. We put in an order and asked the server whether we can be seated inside. Once a table was made available, we were told we can move inside. I liked the table we were given in the back. They had three bathrooms inside. My boyfriend was disturbed by the bleeding fish display. He thought it was gruesome. As a vegetarian, honestly, I thought the same. I ate every bite of my curry. The female servers we talked to were nice. But the guy who came to pick up our clean plates wasn't very considerate. He took my rice bowl and it wasn't even empty. Then he dropped something he had taken from our table loudly on the floor right next to us and didn't even apologize or say a thing after. I liked the potatoes and curry I ate. But I'm still suffering from the mosquito bites because I have very sensitive and irritable skin. Plus I thought the service could definitely have been more friendly and courteous.

I especially loved their manoushe (pita-like bread) which was so tasty. The chicken is moist and flavorful (even the breast!) and I probably didn't need to get the 3 dips to share with my husband, but every single one was great. My favorite was the eggplant dip - that one I was eating by itself it was so chunky and delicious. My only gripe is that you have to be seated and then you leave to go order - I'm always worried that they're not going to remember that I'm sitting there and give my spot to someone else lol. And sometimes you have to wait to get in and be seated, and then you have to go stand in line to wait again to order. When it's not super busy, it's a dream spot to eat, but when it's busy, it can be a little bit of a pain. Still worth it in my opinion, though!

If you reopen at 4:30 for dinner and your sign out front advertised sourdough, why do you not have any? Or at least tell us before we get in and all get seated. The chicken wasn't very moist, the carrots are cold and not cooked, the cauliflower was cold and uncooked with just some spices thrown on it. My grandson begged to not go back here again. The only thing I enjoyed were the potatoes. It was $90 with 2 entrees, 3 non-alcoholic drinks, and tip. Way too much.

    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.

Be mindful that unfortunately there are flies and bees which may approach your food, especially if you have seafood shells - you can ask a server for one of the fans at your table to keep away those bugs. We also had a slight hiccup with our OpenTable reservation where in our communications with the restaurant they told us they could accommodate an earlier time but the hostess told us that it did not update in their system - fortunately we were still able to be seated at the earlier time, but at a slightly less ideal table further from the view.
