We were very happy with our meal at The Strand. We went for dinner on Sunday. It was busy, but they were able to accommodate us. The service was very good, friendly, and professional. The restaurant was comfortable and inviting. Although, a bit warm inside. The menu is fairly extensive. We had the ribs & chicken, spinach salad, and a chicken penne pasta dish. They were all fantastic. The ribs were especially outstanding. Overall, it was a great experience and will be going back soon. read more

Sure do miss Quincy street. Ribs the other night were tender (this time) but way way too much pepper. Had to drown each bite in bbq. Wife got sick- we think from The spinach salad. We're going to steer clear of here. Like I said. I sure do miss Quincy street !! read more

This is the quintessential beach restaurant but elevated. I had the Shrimp linguini and it was delicious! If you are a ventura county native...combine a Lure pasta with a Dominicks pasta and you will experience what I ate at the Strand. My husband had the Philly steak sandwich and it was perfection. Feels like home! You won't be disappointed. read more

Good food, good people, good energy, good menu, good location. Only been there once but the waiter seemed to take extra special care to try to memorize our names and make us feel welcome. read more

Quaint restaurant with bar and dining room right in Silver Strand. Service was great. Philly cheesesteak egg rolls were so good. Tri-tip sandwich was mediocre. "Signature" Mai tai was not something I would order twice. read more

The Strand was such a pleasant surprise!! My friends visiting for my 50th (gulp!) birthday stumbled in here arms were more than impressed! The food was great, drinks were fabulous and the live music was wonderful... in fact, all of us were shocked when Besame Mucho was played as it was an immediate throwback to our high school Spanish class. Go to The Strand, you'll have a great time and will be enjoying great food and drink! read more

What a cool little spot in the Strand! (Silverstrand Beach) Small place with a bar area and the dining area has plenty of seating. Nothing fancy... staff is very friendly! We enjoyed a couple beers, and I had a dirty martini which was good! My husband and I weren't too hungry so we only ordered a couple of things from the starters menu. The server was really helpful with recommendations so we went with the Rib Tips which were really good, definitely large enough for two people to share or make a meal out of. Priced at just under $20! Good deal! Also our server recommended the Philly Cheesesteak eggrolls. Sounds different? They were pretty good, served with a cheese sauce for dipping. We were a bit taken back by the way they served them? The presentation definitely lacked effort-and they tasted better than they looked! The cut pieces were a little mangled and thrown on a plate with the dipping sauce... needs some garnish, maybe try to serve on some fluffy green leaf lettuce? Also the portion was absolutely not appropriate for how much they charged! Almost $20! Definitely not worth it! We want to come back and try some of the entrees... their menu is huge with a wide variety of dishes to choose from! I recommend giving them a try! read more

Under new management within the last year so, this quaint little local gem is now called " The Strand Bar & Grill". It's a tiny little spot next to Kidde Beach, off the channel by Port Hueneme. I had a great experience with the host, Raegan. She was polite and helpful and took my phone in order quickly with an upbeat attitude (thank you). We ordered a Philly cheesesteak and a Tri-tip sandwich. The menus on Yelp were over 6 years old so we were really just hoping they had these sandwiches! But they did and we got the order in. The parking lot is barely more than an apron of pavement next to the building. Just enough for a few cars to park at steep angles. But there is a ton of street parking nearby. Besides, this is a walk in kind of joint for the neighborhood. Love the vibe inside. Small town, comfort and kindness. Wood floors. Folks hold the door for you. Ahhhh, just right. I saw a bunch of fresh menus on the counter at the host stand and thought I'd take the opportunity to get familiar with it. Along the way someone else would probably want to see the latest offerings so here they are attached. I wish I had taken photos of the food! It was dynomite!! But alas, we was hungry haha. It didn't last long enough for the camera. Take my word for it; it was money! We are coming back again very soon read more

Old hole in the wall attracted me as a local steak and seafood place. Drinks are super strong. Waitress was amazing but,,,,, immediately seated. Lovely menu. Overpriced for what I ordered. Ribeye and and shrimp special. It took them over an hour to deliver my food to my table. The steak was thin and full of fat. read more

Great food, huge portions and friendly service! Our new local pick for a casual steak dinner

really a 4.5 if I could. Wednesday at 6:30pm the bar was hopping and several tables had patrons dining. We were cheerfully greeted and seated. The two waitresses were kept quite busy but managed to deliver courteous and efficient service. The food: the tri tip was not the best cut of meat--not very tender, cooked to order with a nice bordelaise sauce w/mushrooms (not over salted like many) and gorgonzola on top. Spinach salad very good as were the mixed veggies (not over cooked--woo hoo!) and the baked potato was perfect. The star of the show was the baby back ribs. We were just in texas and dined at several world famous bbq joints and I have to say the ribs at The Strand were better--probably the best I have ever had (including my own I'm sad to say). A generous portion, meaty, not fatty, fall off the bone tender and somehow soooo juicy. I'm not sure how they plated them without the meat falling off of the bone! The sauce was solid. We will be back--for more ribs and to try something else on their quite extensive menu. read more

The Strand Bar & Grill is slowly renovating a local hang out. Their bar has been updated, sports are on, and the drinks are good! We came for breakfast today and it was delicious. From the French toast and bacon to the Eggs Benedict and omelette everything tasted amazing! The staff was friendly. The prices were fair. It wasn't too noisy or crowded. They have new owners and I'm sure they're going to get more popular - but right now it's the perfect place to go if you don't want a long wait. They have an excellent chef and a great location. read more

We love our local restaurant! Since the transition in December of 2022, the new owners have upgraded the bar that has a clean feel & great vibe. The main dining is currently being updated too! So far, the trio fajitas & orange roughy specials are amazing, with many of the local favorites are still being served! We wish the SBG's new owners much success!! read more

Ordered the ribs as they were highly recommended by my friend who loves this place. Meh.... I much prefer the ribs at BJs.

Food is insanely delicious the burger is killer!!! Coleslaw is unique and tangy with the dill. I live far but will be coming back for this spot. I find that restaurants have average service these days, Chrissy was our waitress she exceeded my expectations, kind and attentive. 12/10 easily if you are in the area GOOOOO!!!!! Also place is kinda cute homie vibes wooden interiors. read more

Food is very very tasty. Service was sweet although the cook seems a little bit slow or maybe needs some additional help? All that to say the quality of food indicated that most of the food is prepared in house and made to order, which seems very cool. I had the child's Mac and cheese and I'm not sure that I've had better Mac and cheese so there's that. Husband had the trip too sando and none of the tri tip was cut in an edible way, so much so that he had to separate the bread from the meat and cut and eat them methodically. Also, too much BBQ sauce, also BBQ was spicy, and no mention of it on the menu. We both drank an old fashioned, and they were fine, definitely a heavy pour (not a bad thing) but neighborhood pour for the price is fantastic...most people who come here live here it seems. The decor and ambience is strange and the over all experience was fine. So. 3 stars. read more

Casual, local and the food is awesome! Nice secret in our silver strand neighborhood.

This place is great. The food is excellent. The service is nice and the location can't be beat. I suggest that you make reservations at least a day or more in advance because this place is busy. Call the phone number and leave a message and they'll get back to you. read more

Love this place! Everything is delicious. I believe they switched owners and names within the last years

One positive thing about it is, it's close to home. But if you don't go for just the neighborhood and you go looking for some good food, I would look around in the neighborhood and go find something better. This reads a bit blunt, but we gave it a try, and I think I have other places that I would recommend ..... read more

The food was TERRIBLE!! I ordered ribs and grilled shrimp, the menu described the shrimp as grilled on a skewer definitely NOT grilled or skewered. Very dissappointing when the meal isn't as described, the ribs were overcooked mushy and flavorless. The staff was great! The manager even ran out to our car to return my husband's card holder that had a $100 bill showing. read more

The food was good, I ordered the tri tip sandwich but the meat was tough to bite into, maybe it wasn't sliced against the grain or the pieces were too big and thick. This meant that the whole sandwich had to be taken apart and the meat cut up. Way too much bbq sauce, and I wasn't told it would be spicy. Didn't say it anywhere and I have stomach issues that makes it very unpleasant to eat spicy food. I would have gotten something else or sauce on the side if I knew. Maybe it was the grilled onions that were spicy? Didn't get a chance to tell the server about it because she didn't come around. The drinks were kinda pricey but good. I did have a good time but I think they can do a bit better for the prices. read more

A favorite of ours since the late '80's.. .. ..until now. Through 3 owners, this one seems to be a bit chintzy. No more 1/4 onion brick - only a big one: too big for 2 people; no more pickle with sandwich; no more cole slaw on the menu; (this is a place specializing in bbq, which, by the way, still has the best bbq sauce); French fries are not as good as they used to be; bbq chicken sandwich also not as good as it used to be; didn't have my Dewars, that they always had. Service staff, as always, was pleasant and very accommodating. Will return one more time in a few weeks to see if this last experience is just a one off. read more

Ppl were nice. Food was TERRIBLE. The lasagna was terrible. The bbq chicken sandwich was just frozen chicken and Kraft bbq sauce. Burgers looked a little TOO well done. Fish and chips were not the best. Overall wait time for food was like an hour. You'll definitely lose your buzz after your first drink, waiting for the next. Super pricey for the time, service and overall display. The place definitely needs some renovations. The atmosphere is a good touch for theme but little nicks and knacks like dirty carpet, missing light bulbs, outlet and wire out. Wouldn't recommend. I'd give this place no stars if I had to. This place definitely needs a bar rescue! They have pasta at a bar lol be real haha read more

The chicken piccata is always excellent. The drinks are great as well. I wish they were open seven days a week. I try to go here every time I'm in Oxnard. read more

Food is good, but not excellent; beverages are well made and very good. Staff is wonderful and friendly. Wait times for food to arrive is beyond disappointing, and that is after trying two times before reviewing. Not sure I'd try a third time. My fav is salmon and it made me sick (undercooked). Steak is ok but grizzly. Ambiance is nice, because of the staff; noisy, but not unduly so. Love the location and hope beyond hope they improve. read more
