Found these place while we were on a mini vacation and read great things about it, so we went for breakfast before we headed out of town. Cute little restaurant great decor bright and welcoming Customer Service was fast and friendly it was a bit busy our food took a bit but we didn't mind they continued to check on us till we received our food. Presentation was great food looked delicious My sandwich was the best I had in a long time! They toast the cheese on the bread it was amazing Everything was tasty Experience was a 10/10 I would definitely drive back 2hrs to eat here again read more

This place just wasn't for me. I think it reels a lot of customers in having had guy fieri in there before. The ambiance is too much for me personally. It's past kitschy and onto campy. The decor is crowded and not cohesive. It feels cluttered. The tables are and walls and seats are sticky even when clean. It just all seemed a bit...dingy. They had that fun little peg game to play to keep you busy but half of them are missing pieces and they are also really dirty. We ordered hot chocolate (yum) and some basic breakfast items. My husband really liked his items. He said he would give his at least a 4 stars, but this is my yelp review lol. My food was very bland and not flavorful. I could have made the same thing at home. I don't mind spending money. In fact, I love going out to a good breakfast, but it has to be a good breakfast. If it's subpar it's really a waste of money and calories for me and that what I feel this experience was. I think I got "crunchy" French toast and it had mildly soggy corn Flakes on it. The idea was fun but the execution wasn't great. My husband simply ordered meat, eggs and potatoes. It was okay, nothing to write home about. Take what I say with a grain of salt and maybe try it for yourself. It could have been an off day for the kitchen or staff? Personally I don't think I will be back or recommend but I can tell you there were clearly regulars here that day and they do have quite a reputation so at some point they have done something right. read more

The food was mediocre at best. We ordered the chili verde omelette with hashed browns, side of bacon, coffee and orange juice. The coffee was very watered down, not flavorful. The orange juice was from concentrate and our food was served lukewarm, like it had been sitting under a warmer. Nothing tasted fresh. The service was good. The ambiance was ok, not very clean. I would not return nor would i recommend. read more

Found an amazing breakfast spot on our trip! The staff was very friendly and the food came out super fast. The portions were generous and everything looked and smelled great -- but the taste was even better. I'm not usually a big fan of breakfast burritos, but the pictures looked so good that I tried the wet burrito. It was huge and packed with meat, and I still finished the whole thing! Their home fries were perfectly crispy!!! I loved them. I definitely want to come back again, even though it's far from my town. read more

What a hidden gem. Came on a Tuesday afternoon with 1 hour left before closing. Ordered the chorizo omelette, one blueberry pancake, one chocolate chip pancake, and half a grilled cheese sandwich with potatoes. Chorizo omelette was hearty and not oily. Came with refried pinto beans and potatoes. Pancakes were fluffy, flavorful, not dry at all. Grill cheese also was toasted well and had a good quantity of cheese. Potatoes were the best part because it's crisp, yet not mushy nor soggy. Workers also are welcoming and served us with a big smile. Hopefully will stop by again if we're here. read more

Pete's Breakfast House - Chocolate chip & blueberry pancake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ventura, California

Been here 3 times now and finally decided to write a review. I had the Corned Beef Hash the first time since it was highly recommended and it was delicious! When it came to the choice of biscuit or toast, I tried biscuit the first time and it was very soft and warm but the jam and cream didn't go too well with the biscuit. I got the Chile Verde Omelette the second time and I didn't particularly like it too much. I did like the toast with the jam and cream this time! The third time I came back for the Corned Beef Hash and turns out the biscuit comes with gravy if you ask for it! The Biscuit with Gravy was heavenly! I do feel like the beef this time was a bit overcooked to my liking compared to my first experience but hopefully it isn't a consistent issue. read more

Came here with my wife for her birthday, we had better expectations of the food, but we were disappointed. Food was OK, unsure what was the hype about this place. We had the Mexicali which I didn't really enjoy it. The avocado had some brown in it, which was not acceptable. Service seemed very rushed which we do not like either. It was recommended to get the pancake roll which I would give it 1/5 because it didn't taste good. I won't be returning here, I didn't feel that I enjoyed the food nor the service. read more

Featuring friendly service and good bites all around, I've enjoyed this charming spot every time I've dined here. They have a nice outdoor patio, but be advised there are usually dogs, so if you prefer a "fluff-free" dining experience, opt for indoors, which stays nice and cool, even during warmer weather days. Also, extra points for the crunchy French toast I ordered on my last visit! A fun side note: even though I'm definitely more of an Anthony Bourdain fan (relating to his local, authentic) food critic style, Guy Fieri has featured this spot on his show & I can see why: the pancake roll deserves a highlight, for sure! Definitely something for everyone at this restaurant. read more

Pete's Breakfast House - Fun mural in the backdrop. Ah, so many change makers featured - may they rest in peace & power. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ventura, California

Local breakfast brunch restaurant that's dog friendly with a beautiful outdoor patio seating. and serves some great brunch food! Servers were really attentive and helpful in choosing from their huge menu. They are known for their home made strawberry jam. And pancake roll! For drinks I got the iced tea which was pretty good but I highly recommend adding strawberry jam! I also got the pancake which was nice and fluffy but wasn't life changing. Just good ol fashioned pancakes. The club sandwhich was pretty good nice toast and love the bacon. Pancake roll was soooo good. It is a pancake rolled up and covered in yogurt and fruits and nuts. So yummy. Perfect combo of textures flavors. Salmon taco special was good too. Big pieces of salmon. only thing is their potatoes are all kinda burnt... I didn't really touch that. decent salsa more on the fresh side and less acidic. Salad was pretty basic. Chicken wasn't too dry but wasn't the moistest. This is just your local diner basically. Note about parking. Left parking lot is not parking for Pete's. Go to the right. If there are no more spots, there's tons of street and residential parking. read more

My husband and I stopped in for a late breakfast on a Saturday morning. Not being locals, the small crowd of people standing outside was an indicator that this was the spot to go to. Despite the crowd, we didn't wait more than ten minutes before we were seated. Service was prompt and friendly. The food all smelled delicious. We tried: Burritos: Two simple breakfast burritos filled with choice of meat (bacon ftw), scrambled egg, and cheese. Topped with sour cream, avocado, and a mild pico de gallo, these were yummy though super basic. The beans that come on the side, however, are the unsung hero of this dish. Soooo rich and flavorful. Potatoes: Crispy, charred, and absolutely delicious. Pete's potato game is on it. Chile Verde omelette: My husband ordered this as it is subject to availability. The chile verde was tangy and super good, with tons of gooey cheese folded into the egg. It was devoured. Strawberry jam: Came with my husband's side of toast. It was super super sweet and SO good on the buttered sourdough. Warning: I have been craving it since we ate it. The food was generously portioned and heavy, which made it good fuel for a hike afterwards. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting town ahead of lots of activity, though I bet the full-bellied nap outcome could be nice too. Enjoy! read more

As a mom of two, this place has quickly become one of my go to spots. The food is always good, fresh, flavorful and reliable for a quick meal. The service is consistently fast and friendly, which is a lifesaver when you've got hungry little ones. I really love the cozy, Mom and pop atmosphere. It feels warm, personal and welcoming, like the kind of place where they actually remember you. And if you're looking for a sandwich that truly hits the spot try the Petes club, It's savory, satisfying and absolutely worth ordering every time. read more

Pete's Breakfast - Ventura Super charming little spot -- nothing fancy, just solid, comforting breakfast food. We sat outside, which I preferred since the inside felt a bit cramped and there were quite a few people waiting for tables. The patio seating was relaxed and perfect for enjoying the Ventura morning air. The kids loved their chocolate chip pancakes and French toast -- both came out fluffy and perfectly sweet. I had the Spanish omelet, which was hearty and flavorful, and my husband got the corned beef hash, which he really enjoyed. Service was friendly and efficient even with the crowd, and you can tell it's a well-loved local favorite. A great, laid-back breakfast spot we'll definitely return to next time we're in Ventura! read more

I love this place! Great food that leaves you full and makes your tummy smile. Super nice service. Home feeling. Outside or inside seating. I had their Working Person's plate (10/10) with eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast. Look at the hot chocolate my friend got! Wow! Stop on by. read more

My friend's family has been coming here for over 40 years; it is one of their favorite spots for breakfast in Ventura! The service was friendly and pretty prompt. The place is small, cozy diner, but they have since added a patio, which has a charming water fountain and lots of shade. I only tried one thing since we split the breakfast, but it was really good. The table next to has had lots of food that looked and they said tasted amazing! Great breakfast spot in Venture, will definitely be back! read more

Pete's Breakfast House - Half a Chile Verde Wet Gordo Burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ventura, California

I love this restaurant and also love that it has a dog friendly patio. The food was absolutely delicious with no complaints. We are a huge fan of their biscuits and homemade jam. The biscuits are warm and so fluffy yet firm. The jam is sweet and had real fruit pieces in it. You can definitely tell it's homemade. ALSO I highly recommend the cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll is only available on the weekends I believe and we were so lucky because we got the last one! And OH MAN this was the BEST cinnamon roll I have ever eaten!!! Better than cinnabon for sure. The service was excellent and the servers offered a bowl of water for our dog too. And we loved that there were a lot of other dogs around in the patio. Great ambience and busy too. read more

Had breakfast at a place called Pete's Dinner, briskets & gravy was on the side. Better than my own. That has never happened, So I went to check it out on Yelp, leave a review... and lo and behold, it's on the "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" list. As it should be. read more

I came here with two of my friends when we were up visiting Ventura, and this was a breakfast place one friend had mentioned we should visit. We had to wait for about 15 minutes, which passed by quickly as we spent the time at the video game second hand shop right across the street. We were promptly seated, and because of the business of the place it took some time to get our orders, which I don't blame them for. But boy oh boy were these food portions absolutely humongous. I ordered the breakfast burrito and could only polish off one of them - I especially enjoyed the sour cream and avocado slices provided. The potatoes and beans were also pretty good. Very standard but yummy fare. Overall, a solid breakfast option if you are in the area. Would highly recommend bringing an empty stomach or someone who can eat a lot, as I ended up giving my remaining burrito to my friend. read more

I love coming to Pete's breakfast house whenever I am in Ventura!! They have a cute patio for warmer days and a good sized indoor dining room which has a lot of vintage charm. I love both their breakfast and lunch. I've had their pancakes, avocado toast, biscuits, and potatoes, and all are amazing! You can tell they use high quality ingredients and the portion sizes are great. I don't love eggs, but have also heard great reviews from friends and family about their omelettes. Their chorizo burger for lunch is so savory, flavorful, and spicy I definitely recommend trying! read more

Came here on a Saturday morning and it was fairly busy but there was open seating on the patio so we got seated right when we walked in. The staff is very friendly and we were served quickly. I ordered the frittata with no cheese or sour cream because I wasn't feeling well and the veggies were all cooked perfectly. The Denver omelet was great also. The back patio was very cute and felt like someone's backyard. They allow dogs on the patio and have plenty of seating. Highly recommend! read more

I saw quite a few people waiting outside and thought I would have a long wait. No we were seated right away in a nice booth. They also have outdoor seating and it was a nice day and that would've worked also. A nice young gentleman came by right away and we ordered coffee and water. Our server with Mitch and I asked him some questions and so did my husband and he answered them. I had huevos chili Verde, came with some delicious potatoes and I decided not to include the beans. I also got corn tortillas, but you can also have flour. my husband got a ham, bacon and sausage omelette with the potatoes and English muffin. We both had coffee the 1st cup was so so but the 2nd cup was better. They don't have raw sugar and I usually bring my own. Place with clean and a typical cafe style place. read more

A classic place to eat. Food is always good. Service has always been with a smile. Sundays are pretty busy but they do get you in and out at a good pace. Ambiance is like being at a beach diner but you not at a beach. I love this place. And the coffee while you wait to be seated is great. read more

What can I say about my boy Pete here? Oh I'll tell you. My family and I were recommended this place and it was stellar! Food, service, and ambience are all 5 star. The salmon was perfectly cooked and flavorful. The biscuit and jam is to die for. Absolutely amazing with dogs. Everybody came up and said hi to our girl with offerings of whip cream and treats. We will definitely make room in any trip out here to spend time at Pete's. read more

Had some time to kill in Ventura and wanted to try a good breakfast place. After searching through yelp I ended up at Pete's. I wanted a good solid breakfast that I knew would fill me up. Walked into Pete's and felt the vibe of comfort and homey. It felt like I've been going there for a while the way everyone was welcoming. Ordered the breakfast burrito plate not thinking much, but it was incredible. Definitely was not used to a burrito with the ends open, but I just knife and forked it. Amazing. read more

Amazing food well worth the stop off freeway. Service was great chili verde and chili cheese omelettes spectacular

This place was soooo good. When I first looked at the menu, I thought this spot was going to be a basic diner location. Sometimes spots on Yelp can be really popular when you compare it against other places nearby. Definitely not the case for this location. Coffee did not disappoint but was a bit on the pricier side for black coffee ($4). Ordered the Gordo burrito and holy moly. That thing was huge!!! I could have done without the tortilla chips and would have subbed it for something else. I definitely recommend. I've had tons of breakfast burritos and this one was filling & good. I only was able to finish half and had the rest for lunch. The potatoes were delicious too. read more

A bucket list place for me (from NY). Was in for my yearly visit. This was featured on Diners.dives and drive throughs with Guy Fieri. It's fairly small but no wait. Pancakes either chocolate chips (and whipped cream) was very good but I wasn't expecting bitter chocolate so maple syrup helped ! Amazing crunchy home fries and excellent over easy eggs. Cute pics on wall. Good service read more

Pete's is fantastic! We don't live in Ventura but are going whale watching, wanted to get a hearty meal before. We were lucky enough to pick Pete's. Their food is out of this world! The people that run it from the hostesses, the waitresses, and the bus boys, they were all amazing. I would highly recommend that if you're in the vicinity, stop at Pete's! read more

This review is long overdue. We have visited at least half a dozen times, maybe closer to a dozen. Every time we have been it's great! I always get the huevos rancheros and a side of bacon. I also get a biscuit. The huevos rancheros is so good. The beans are flavorful and everything is cooked perfectly. Their bacon is so crispy and not greasy. The biscuits are made daily and pair wonderfully with their homemade strawberry jam. Other family have gotten different menu items and all have been good. My husband said the coffee is good also! Love the service which is always fast and helpful. The inside is cute and on the smaller side so we have had to wait occasionally. I don't mind since I know I'm going to have a fabulous meal. Can't wait to return!!! read more

Found this in yelp and decided to give it a try. So glad we did! Busy place, but larger than looks from the street. Extensive breakfast menu. I had the cheese omelette with avocado and it truly was as advertised- stuffed with cheese. One person loved their chili verde breakfast burrito. It was huge! Service was fast and excellent all around. Hardworking team keeps food and people moving so the waits are short. And really affordable, more so when you see the amount of food you receive. We all highly recommend! read more

My new favorite restaurant! I cannot describe how much I love this place. I saw how highly reviewed it is and now I know why! We went there for a late breakfast. I got the Breakfast burrito plate. It comes with two burritos, beans, and some unbelievably good potatoes. Those potatoes blew my mind. You can get the burritos with either bacon, sausage, ham or veggies. Our server, Marla, suggested I get a sausage-bacon combo. She wasn't wrong. They were amazing. Whoever is back there doing the cooking crushed it. Everything was made right. Hats off to the crew. The place itself is so cool. Lots of interesting things to look at and some signs on the wall that literally made me laugh out loud. The thing that really sealed the deal for me was the people who worked there. They were slammed and yet none of them let that get them down. And even though they were in constant motion, they were always cheerful and ready to help. I live about 45 miles from Pete's but I will definitely be back for all of the above reasons but also because apparently the cinnamon rolls are spectacular and there were all gone by the time we got there at 12:15, so I would recommend getting there early. They looked legendary. read more

Came here on weekday breakfast for their early bird. 2 eggs, bacon which were nice and crispy, home fries with sourdough toast and homemade strawberry jam.

Definitely would be a regular place if lived in the area! read more

Ate here for brekkie on the way north to Pismo Beach. Very highly recommended. The corned beef hash and eggs are the best I've had, and the biscuits were amazing with the hash and also had to order another one to eat with their homemade jam. This is now our brekkie spot when we need to leave Los Angeles early to travel north along the coast, or just to visit the Ventura area which is nice to visit in on its own. Not only was the food excellent, but the service was timely and friendly. Thanks for starting our day off well :-) read more

Delicious locally run and own breakfast joint. Love the classic mom and pop feel diner style with LA celebrities appreciation mural from King of Pop MJ and Marilyn Monroe. Lori and Jen were the sweetest supporting us with our online order of yummy sausage breakfast burrito and veggies omelette both with potatoes. Admired how they checked into make sure my omelette was diary and onion free per my request they thoughtfully honored. Food came out quick hot and fresh for us to enjoy. Lots and lots of outdoor seating with heaters for warmth as well. Will return again and again to this mid town Ventura gem. In the future, will appreciate more gluten free bread options. Much care and I respect. read more

What an amazing place to eat breakfast! It's an old fashioned mom and pop kinda place with the sweetest waitresses to match. The food is outstanding. I got the biscuits and gravy, eggs, bacon, and sausage and it was so good! My eggs came out scrambled instead of over easy and it was a simple quick fix to remake them. I think the best part about it is that my sister and I had 2 babies (2 and 4 months) +4 kids under 10. When my baby began to cry the waitress asked to hold him. It was the nicest offer thing. She walked him around the restaurant so I could finish eating. read more

Pete's Breakfast House is one of my go-to breakfast spots in Ventura. I've been coming here for years and it never disappoints. Incredible service, laid-back environment, great food, and good prices -- it just checks all the boxes. The early bird specials are legit and absolutely worth it if you get there early. Portions are solid and everything is consistently good. I usually order the triple decker sandwich with chipotle aioli (basically their version of a club sandwich) and it's always on point. The biscuits with strawberry jam are also next level -- easily some of the best around. If you want a reliable, no-frills breakfast spot in Ventura, Pete's is hard to beat. read more
