I tried Stephen's grill after enjoying their Ventura location for years. Same great gyro combo with salad and opted for roasted potatoes instead of fries. It was just as enjoyable. My family enjoyed their food as well. The server seemed a little green but that's to be expected at any new restaurant. We'll definitely be back. read more

Super reasonably priced for the quality of food! Huge portions and service is very good. Will come back

Two friends and I came here for lunch, and we were pleasantly surprised by how fresh and delicious the food was. As soon as we walked inside, the beautiful murals and décor made us feel like we had stepped into Greece. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We also appreciated that there was no wait time to get in. Overall, it was a wonderful lunch experience, and we'd definitely come back. read more

See all

Great food! Hd the grilled pork chop, excellent marinade, juicy & nicely charred on the grill. The roasted potatoes were a great counterpoint to the chop, soaking up the juices fr the chop. Started w/spanokopita as an appetizer, like it was made by grandmother's, flakey, well seasoned & served w/tzatziki. Looking forward to go back & try the grilled half chicken. read more

The food just wasn't good. The service was very nice. It is a huge place where the old soup plantation was. The inside is still the same as before. It is quite expensive for the quality of food. read more

I've been anticipating to try this new restaurant for a while. I was very excited to finally have had the opportunity today to go however; upon entering the restaurant I was immediately stopped by a employee named Nick . He was informing me that my service animal would not be permitted into the restaurant. This employee was extremely rude and hostile. I showed him my service animal card that I carry with me and he then stated " that isn't enough" He demanded I show him my medical documentation and any other document that would qualify me to have a service animal which is already against the Americans with Disability Act (ADA). I verbally told Nick I was going to report him and this business and will make sure to let anyone who has a disability with a service animal aware of this restaurant and it's discriminatory behavior towards people with disabilities who have service animals. This employee Nick stated" Go ahead I don't care". I have been to high class restaurants, Taco Bell ect and never have I been discriminated against by anyone or anyplace until now. I definitely do NOT recommend this place. I would like to give an update since it took the business owner Greg 21 days to reply. After reading your response I would have been more than willing to sit down with you in regards to this serious matter that took place. However; after reviewing your profile picture I have come to the realization that you Greg "the business owner " was the one who discriminated against me and my service animal. I have no understanding as to why you have carried on this facade of " Nick" instead of just being an honest, decent person. You decided to lie and deceive not only me, but other people who are and will read this post. You discriminated not only against me and my service animal, you discriminated against my disability. That will not be tolerated. I have no desire to sit down and speak with someone who has no empathy nor compassion for people with disabilities and their service animals. I am a very understanding and tolerable individual, however; this I have no understanding or tolerance for. read more

Stephens Grill - The Restaurant - Greek Near Me - Camarillo, California

Was really looking forward to this opening as we could use some good Greek cuisine in Camarillo but based on the prices they are charging I won't be eating here very often. Just too expensive. read more

We went for brunch today and it was a little chaotic because it was the very first day they opened, but the food was fantastic. Lots of variety. All of the staff was wonderful but Domonique was exceptional! The restaurant is beautiful inside. You feel like you just exited Camarillo and landed in Mykonos. Very well done. Definitely becoming a regular. read more

We went for dinner and the food was delicious and portions were great, so nice to have a healthy meal with plenty to take home for leftovers. The cocktails were great too! The place is beautiful. Definitely will be returning! read more

I've always heard that you should NEVER go to a restaurant that just opened, but when this is Stephens second location, and I enjoy Greek food, so I stopped in on my way from home from work and ordered 2 gyros to take home for dinner. The interior of the place is gorgeous, but I did wonder why there were pictures on the wall of an Italian restaurant? The drive home was less than 5 minutes, and I was shocked at the horrible quality of the food! For $22 - the fries were SOGGY and cold, the Gyro was wrapped in tin foil, looked like a small burrito - the lamb slices, what there were of them... maybe 3 or 4 were COLD and lacked any kind of seasoning. The pita smelled of preservatives so I knew it wasn't freshly made and also very small and soggy. Maybe in time the quality will improve, but for my money there are much better choices in Camarillo including the one inside the Village Mark located on Las Posas. read more

Stephens Grill - Soggy fries, few slices of lamb in the gyro - Greek Near Me - Camarillo, California

Excellent service, fresh food made right and some of the best tri tip I've had. I would recommend their gyro as well if you're a fan you'll love this place. read more

We have loved Stephen's in Ventura for years. So excited to have them in Camarillo! Well. Not. Higher prices, smaller portions: $17 for a (small!) child's plate of macaroni and cheese. No side veggies, no fries or chips, no drink. Outrageous! $27 for a Chicken Gyro Plate. Smaller than an appetizer plate, but twice the price! The Avgolemeno soup was delicious, as expected, but even those serving sizes were reduced, compared to the Ventura location. Sorry, Stephen. I don't wish to continue this relationship. read more

Need some lower food price options- I can go to Mama Hummus or Daphnes for far less money, similar quality. To me seems like a huge space that's not really necessary read more

Good food. Somewhat expensive, like everywhere else today. Portions were excellent and food was fresh. Spanakopita where huge. Going back soon. read more

Service was great. Very nice inside. Our beef & salads were perfect. The rice tasted bland & boiled. But however, they need a lunch menu. Who wants to spend $100+ for 2 for lunch with a view of Michael's parking lot. read more

I had a Greek salad with chicken. The chicken was dry a huge pieces thrown on top of a salad with very little cheese My friend had the chicken parmigiana. Not very good. Price are high for what you get and the service is very slow. Don't bother read more

Food was extraordinarily ordinary! At $30 - $45 for its main dishes, it could use a whole lot more pizzazz other than a salad and a side like rice or fries etc. Portion was decent. Ambiance was still very much like Souplantation! Soft drink was from a fountain rather than a bottle or can. Service was okay, not great. The second star was for the server who was pleasant. Terrible disappointment. I will recommend to stay away. read more

A very unpleasant oncer! The food was extremely overpriced and disgusting. I had the Greek salad for close to $30. Tomatoes and lettuce tasteless with a few Greek olives and a small amount of Feta cheese. My friend gave me a few falafels to try that were hard as rocks. Service, horrendous. The "server" showed up twice for a few minutes. Took forever to get the bill and I wasn't going to risk waiting for her to acknowledge or process a credit card. Had enough cash to escape. Never again read more

The bartenders Christie and Jenny were great! The drinks were awesome! Service and food were excellent! Definitely will be back!

Amazing experience! The service was friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived thanks to Domonique. The food was fresh, and cooked perfectly. Everything came out quickly, and you can tell they take pride in both their customer service and their food. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place! read more

Great service, well staffed and very fresh and plentiful food. Salads were crisp and cold and portion size of the entrees very generous. My only suggestion would be to add signage to the exterior back wall of this restaurant - this is the approach/entry to Home Depot and I must have driven up that section of road a hundred times and never realized this restaurant even existed until I ended up going the long way around out of Target and stumbled across it! Will definitely be coming back. read more

I decided to try this new Greek Mediterranean restaurant in Camarillo. The restaurant is beautiful and quite large with great staff. The side salad was good and fresh; the salad dressing was fair The falafel sandwich was terrible, as the falafel were hard and dry and tasteless, but the fries were very good. I told the server Christie that I couldn't eat the pita sandwich and why and she gave me a $10 certificate for next time. I might try it again, but not sure. Their prices are very high for what you get but portions are huge, which I don't need. read more

My husband and I have been to Stephen's Grill twice since they opened. Service was great both times. Servers were efficient, informative and friendly. Both times we order Gyero's which were delicious as were their fries. We enjoyed their Greek and Caesar salads. Looking forward to going back! read more

Don't go. It's that simple. Just don't go. The servers are all nice, and well-intentioned. But, that's all that is decent. The food is very average, and of moderate basic quality, and generally overcooked. When we then asked why the prices are so high (almost double of what they should be), we were told that the owner (Gregorios / Gregory / Greg) only uses the best ingredients. We later learned that is just what "Greg" told the servers to say. Bottomline: the food is grossly overpriced, and of only (below) average quality. The serves also have no idea what the foods taste like, or what the ingredients are. Even as simple as should the pita be served cold, hot, or grilled? They have no idea. They've never been offered the chance to taste the food, so they can discuss it with customers. On many/most dishes there is a "chef's sauce". We asked what it tastes like. The servers had no idea. And, when we asked about contents (for allergies), they were told to tell us that it is a bunch of chef's secret ingredients. (Golly, I sure hope the chef knew to not include any of our allergic items in there.) The owner says they've all been trained for 2 weeks. Every of the 4 servers we talked to, all said that they've been there for 2 days, and got ZERO training. When we commented about this problem, the owner/"Greg" threw them under the bus. He first blamed ALL the problems on HIS staff - - "they lied on their applications, and had no experience." (Altho he says he trained them all for 2 weeks.). Then he said that they were all alcoholics. Then he said that they were all drug addicts. Literally. (And, every of the 4 servers that we talked to seemed quite nice, sincere, and somewhat embarrassed to be working for such an ass.) At NO POINT did he, the owner, ever admit to being responsible for ANY of the problems - - poor quality, overcooked, slow service, uninformed servers. Seemingly a nice guy, but totally the wrong attitude - - accepted NO responsibility, and then blamed HIS staff. If they offered a next meal for free, we wouldn't go back. What's the point? (Oh, and he claims his meat is gluten-free. I think McDonalds meat is also gluten-free. Does that mean that he gets his meat from McDonalds . . . but charges over $60 for a steak (at this semi-fast-food restaurant, that is still set up like the Souplantation that it used to be, just with tablecloths now)? read more

I went to Stephens Grill for lunch. The restaurant is beautiful and the service was good. My suggestion is that they create a lunch menu with more than just gyros and other sandwiches and salads. I ordered the moussaka which was a large portion served over quartered potatoes. I think that they could have left off the potatoes as the moussaka was enough on its own. A small Greek salad was served with the meal. I found it interesting that pita bread was extra, which when I have dined at other Greek restaurants the pita bread came with the meal. As it turned out I spent $40 including tip and an iced tea for lunch. read more

Food was okay, service was very disappointing. Especially considering the menu prices. Very few people there on Sunday evening, even so, they appeared to be short on staff. read more

Honestly, this place is terrible They have shady business going on they laid off everyone, it's slow and they are cheap the food is dry and bland would not recommend, and the owner is cheap as hell and grouchy read more

Bring an appetite and tell your friends! Did not know what to expect and we were pleasantly surprised. Food was delicious and large portions. Upscale yet casual restaurant. Prices little high but you get what you pay for. Definitely returning and hopefully all remains the same. read more

Wecame for the first time a few weeks ago! My husband had the fish & salad. Greek salad was very good but fish too honey!The lamb burger came out of the freezer & was rubbery & dry. But the fries were good. Not up to par like the one in Ventura. I mentioned this to the owner & didn't seem to care! Sad! read more

We dined early on Monday evening. Excellent service from the staff. The restaurant looked nice and clean. We had the moussaka with green beans, lentil soup, and lamb burger with french fries. Everything was delicious! So happy to have Stephen's in Camarillo now. Looking forward to when they offer happy hour. read more

Service was good. Restaurant and bathrooms clean. My tri tip sandwich was full of fatty meat and the flavor was pretty bland. The fries were good and the salad fresh. The server took a small amount off our bill even though I barely ate any of the meat. Would not come back! read more

I have been frequenting their Ventura restaurant for years and am happy to report that the food is just as good. Don't listen the reviews saying the food wasn't great, yes the portions are larger but it is worth the money, everything is expensive now. The only reason why I didn't give a 5 star review is the service, it just wasn't anything spectacular. They have only been open for a month so there may be some things to iron out but I will definitely be back. read more

Maybe (definitely) wait a while for this place to get up to speed. We went two weeks after opening and there were too many issues to note in one yelp review. Giving them two stars because it seems like people are trying and I want to support a family business, but honestly one of the most disappointing dining experiences I ever had. Especially at the price point. Give it a few months and see if the reviews get better. read more

We had the 18 ounce ribeye steak and it was delicious with mushrooms and grilled onions. Roasted potatoes were good and the Greek salad of course service was excellent. Our server was Shawn and the ambience is great. This place will be a hit. read more

Was very excited to see this restaurant open but this was an opening day fail. Their brunch appeared very rushed and disorganized, food was cold and very evident most was purchased off the shelf. I hope they pull back and regroup because based on their Ventura location reviews, they have a lot of potential. When we pointed out food in the buffet was cold, manager said they were aware and had sent someone to buy more sterno, but no other action to resolve. We took 1 bite of each and promptly paid for our drinks and left. Even when we complained it took 15 minutes to get the manager to come and speak to us read more

Came here today for brunch on Mother's Day, and it was beyond delicious, especially for the price. Everything we had was exceptional. I started with some sides like the creamy green pasta, shrimp cocktail, lox on a baguette, sautéed carrots, and a zucchini dish that I couldn't get enough of. Then you meet Javier, who greets you with a smile and carves the best prime rib, complete with au jus. There's also a build your own Greek salad station, several soups (the lentil was my favorite), the crispiest bacon I've ever had, flavorful sausages, and perfectly seasoned potatoes. Another table featured eggs Benedict, different egg scrambles, and Pastitsio. A Greek style lasagna that was surprisingly light and absolutely delicious. And of course, you can't forget the pastry table at the end. Everything looked amazing and tasted just as good. What really stood out was the atmosphere and service. Our server, Lindsey, was incredibly nice, and honestly, everyone we encountered was welcoming. One of the managers, John, was greeting guests and shaking hands, which made the experience feel extra personal. Before leaving, we took some baklava to go, and it was hands down the best baklava I've ever had. On the first bite, the honey drips perfectly into the crispy filo dough without being overly sweet, and the flavors finish with this rich pistachio bite at the end. I would absolutely buy that again. You cannot beat the Quality of the food or the Price. We will definitely be back. read more

had lunch today with wife, did not know buffet only ($29.95 per person) between 9:00am to 0230pm. food was terrible. very bad eye appeal, and this is not Greek food. Half the items listed on the menu for the buffet was not there. beef was over cook, bacon under cook, eggs runny, no so-called Greek potatoes not to be had. Service not very good, as we leaving then ask if we want a refill of my wife's coffee. this place is not worth one star. read more

Don't go here. Awful awful. Location is pretty but food is awful and owner is a piece of work. I complained about a roach and got accused of lying. Why would I lie about that after I already paid my bill? Place sucks. I'll never go back. Beware read more

Doesn't seem like the cooks have a handle on how to prepare Greek cuisine yet, the lamb burger had too much bread that was hard with too much sauce added to overcompensate. the lamb itself was over cooked. "Avgolemeno "soup was Campbell's Chicken and rice poured in a bowl. The Saganaki was served cold and hard. The house red was cheap and vinegary . The prices for all of this would have been high even if the food was excellent, but it was all terrible. Very unhappy with our experience and will not return again. The ambiance was fair, wrong music in the background, too much lighting, but everything was nice and clean as it should be with very little customer flow. Desserts were not the price, I can buy better tiramisu at the grocery store, the restaurants had very little flavor in a very small piece that costs $14. I do not recommend anyone to go there. Service staff needs more training. For authentic and delicious Greek food it's worth the drive to ventura. read more

My husband and I just went to Stephen's Grill in Camarillo. We arrived about 6 and didn't have a problem getting a table . They take reservations for parties over 6 . I had a gin martini and my husband had a double gin and tonic . Our waitress , who also bartends , Christi , was very attentive and accommodating. Both drinks were very good . We ate the Dolmades with ground lamb appetizer and it was very delicious accompanied with a gravy type sauce and Chef Kazo's special sauce. I could easily serve 3 people generously. My husband had the rack of lamb with Greek rice and I had the grilled lamb chops with roasted potatoes. Both dishes were very yummy . Our dinners also came with a choice of Greek salad or Caesar salad. I had the Greek salad and my husband had the Caesar . We ordered a bottle of the Crossbarn Pinot noir from the Sonoma Valley . It tasted great with our food .The lettuces were very crisp and the salads were unusually plentiful for a dinner salad. We ended the meal with their Baklava, which their Chef Kazo made . It was so yummy and portioned enough for 2 people . We went home full, satisfied, and with leftovers . We will definitely be coming back . read more
