Abbey trail and chicken sandwich
Erch A.

For starters, our beertender, Juan, was absolutely fantastic! Super knowledgeable, super chill, and awesome all around. Secondly, food=bomb! Lastly, I got the Abbey Trail. So ridiculously good oh my gosh! It was our first time here and it definitely won't be our last.

5/5 stars . I keep going back because it's close to home and it's good ! I am obsessed with the chicken nachos and I really enjoy their burgers with fries ! They hbd this strawberry salad ( add chicken ) that I love ! Their happy is until 5:30pm. I do wish they'd extend it until 6pm. Maybe perhaps a Monday happy hour until 7pm , since usually a slower day . BJs has it for longer but of course , they food and beer does NOT compare! There's parking in the back but those spots are taken most of the time . I prefer to park in the structure . The first two floors are reserved for parking for retail / restaurant customers. I enjoy the food , special dinner events , the games they have on, the live music, cocktails , the ambiance and of course the beer. Everyone that works there is so sweet . I do have my favorites though lol ! Check then out !

We came with a group of 12 - on Sunday evening around 6pm. Found plenty of parking in the parking structure (follow the signs, level 1 & 2) 10 house beers on tap and maybe 6 more guest tap list. [some cans were available to go] Also they offer mixed drinks, and a menu from tacos, pizza to burgers. There was a huge private event outside (it was ending shortly after we were arriving). So I don't know if the outside area is usually open to sit? There was no problem finding seats inside, took two of the large benches. Service was very good, from the start to when ordering - to bringing the food later. I had already We ordered tri tip tacos, road rash , onion rings, wagon wheel sour (mixed drink). Overall the group enjoyed their time.

I've been to Wagon Wheel three times now and have had very different experiences. The first time I visited when it first opened, it was a cute and nice experience overall. On my second visit, I went with family and my two young kids (both toddlers). The restaurant was practically empty -- just us and two other tables. My 3-year-old got restless and ran around the table for a moment, and a staff member very rudely told me that he "almost knocked down a lady holding a baby" and that I needed to control him. I completely understand the concern, but the way it was handled was unnecessarily rude and shaming. To make matters worse, that was also the second time I had found a piece of glass in my drink, which was very unsettling. That visit left me disappointed enough to ask for the check right away. That said, I decided to give Wagon Wheel another shot -- and I'm glad I did. On my third visit, I brought all three of my kids, and this time the staff was incredible. Special shout-out to Priscilla, who went above and beyond to make us comfortable. She gave my kids coasters to color, lemonade to sip on, and treated them with kindness instead of judgment for just being kids. That kind of thoughtfulness goes such a long way for parents. The food also redeemed the experience -- the carnitas pizza was hands-down one of the most delicious things I've ever tasted in my life! Overall, Wagon Wheel has been hit or miss for me. I've had both negative and very positive experiences here. If the service stays consistent like my last visit with Priscilla, this place could easily become a favorite spot.

We had pepperoni pizza, strawberry salad and chicken tenders on a Monday night and everything was freshly prepared and the staff were all very friendly. We would return with friends especially to watch a game televised on the big screen. Plenty of rear parking, clean and tasty.

First time here, came for a private event. I was surprised by how spacious it was, it seems there is also a second level. Service was quick, you order at the counter and they serve you your drink immediately. They provide a taster if you're undecided about a drink. I didn't try any food this time but they seem to have some good options. They were also doing trivia night and after checking their website they also hosts other events such as country night, stand up comedy, etc. There is a small 2 hour parking lot on the side and street parking, but if on a busy night parking may be a little difficult.

Tap room
Paowow P.

Best tap room in town! I love the relax atmosphere and friendly staff! Huge shoutout to Manny, Carla, Kate, Juan, Connor, Juan, Jose... you get the picture the full staff is superb! I love all the community events and venues, stop by to enjoy the best beer in Ventura county.

The ordering area
Neal T.

Brewery with a full bar as well, sign me up! The pizza is good, the burgers are good, the tri tip tacos I found a bit boring. Did a beer flight, not a fan of sours so didn't like that one but the other three were delicious. Self service for water and order at the counter. Prettiest brewery I've been too which is an odd thing to even say.

Tiffany T.

What a cool brewery! This place is massive. They have two patios and it looks like they have live music and other events there. My husband enjoyed his beer and I enjoyed my N/A hazy beer. Service was friendly. I'd love to taste the food on our next visit. My only concern is parking on a busy day. I'm sure there is a secret to park there but we just don't know it. Anyway...awesome place!

GETTING HERE: Located across Oxnard Blvd. from the Home Depot/BJ's area at the 101/Wagon Wheel split. REVIEW: I've had Wagon Wheel Brewing Co. bookmarked FOREVER. And, in only reading reviews from other Yelpers, I think I missed v. 1 of WW. No matter, as I don't have anything to compare it to, which could be a good or a bad thing, depending on your point of view. Now, it might seem odd for a person who doesn't drink to visit this brewery (?), but I Yelp for the food photos, and there were many pics posted here that caught my Yelper eye. The service was really good. Especially since the staff could tell I didn't belong there (haha), as I don't know anything about beer. But, I explained my perspective and was seated down the steps to an inside area. I just missed HH by a few minutes, but thankfully, they still honored the menu pricing. I ordered a really flavorful pepperoni pizza and a virgin marg. that was outstanding and had so much flavor. For a quick bite with a trendy vibe (and live music!) I would recommend Wagon Wheel. Even if you don't drink, there will be something for you to enjoy. Thanks!

Carnitas
Robert Q.

The pizzas at Wagon Wheel Brewery in Oxnard taste great, with flavorful toppings and a nicely crisped crust

Chicken and Chorizo Fajitas
Emma F.

There's a lot of amazing things I can say about The Taproom, but I think the most succinct way of putting it is this place feels like home. The ambience is perfect - there's a balance of familiarity and comfort that one finds in a locale that tries hard to be inviting and at the same time there's the new and different with the fact that the brewery itself is attached to the main bar and in full view. The food, particularly with its recent happy hour additions, offers both comfort in terms of staples such as sliders and fried pickles, with a nice touch of uniqueness such as their chorizo queso dip and taco cups. There's something for everyone, and honestly everything tastes amazing. Credit to their amazing chef that not only has crafted a worthy menu for all patrons but also pushes the boundary with regular specials (the chicken and chorizo fajitas are to die for). While I'm not a beer drinker myself, I give credit to the amazing brewers for having something for everyone. Even I've found something they make that I've enjoyed on a regular basis, and if beer isn't your thing, the cocktails are well made and do an amazing job keeping you satisfied (thanks to Connor and his recipes). And then there's the bartenders - an incredibly fun and diverse mix of folks that all have their own personalities but all work towards making the place inviting. It's rare to go to a place where I know that it doesn't matter who is serving me because all of them are amazing and fun and simply make my night. There's too many to list, but Juan, Manny, Carla, Kate, Kaitlyn, Caleb and Connor, just to name a few, are so awesome. Props to the restaurant as a whole for cultivating an all star cast of folks that keep me coming back as a regular. I'm not sure what more there is to say but simply this: come to the Taproom, enjoy some drinks, have some amazing food, and feel invited and happy at one of the best places in Oxnard to hang out. You won't regret it.

It's never overly crowded or overwhelming, making it a great place to unwind and enjoy a peaceful experience. My wife and I often stop by on weekend mornings for coffee. While it can get a bit busier when the nearby church lets out, it still maintains a comfortable and laid-back vibe. It's one of our favorite spots to sit back, relax, and enjoy some quiet time together. We've also had the opportunity to try their wine, and it was a fantastic experience. It's great to have such a wonderful local business close to home, offering quality coffee and wine without the hassle of heavy traffic or large crowds. This place deserves more recognition than it gets. Although it's somewhat hidden, it's become one of our favorite places to visit, and we always look forward to coming back.

I came on Sun. afternoon, and it was super quiet and chill. I got their unique Shakerato- a shaken espresso served in a sleek martini glass. The shakerato was so good and elegantly presented. Pastries are from Cafe Ficelle. The lead barista is of the school that takes pride in crafting each drink and not letting the machine automatically do all the work. The brother sister owners bring their culinary wine and beer experience to their cafe, but they invested into learning about coffee. Sips uses Beacon roasters who actually train cafe baristas on how to produce the best shots using their beans, so it's a true coffee collaboration. The cafe vibe is bright, airy and cozy. The owner was there and we chatted for awhile- he said they are ultimately happy to be a neighborhood local cafe- they're not trying to be Starbucks and be super high volume. They want to serve the East end of Ventura, which does not have a lot of mom/pop style cafes and restaurants.

After a quick check on yelp, this place came highly recommended. I was a little bit worried when I arrived. We were the only people in the entire restaurant. My wife and I were seated quickly. I did appreciate that the menu was not overly complicated. It made it easy to make our selections. They also did offer happy hour specials during the week. I opted for the double Smashburger and fries. The Smashburger comes with their signature sauce, which you can order at a few different spice levels. The girl at the counter said that normally people go with the regular spice level so I opted for that. When my burger and fries arrived, I was quite surprised at the portion sizes. My basket was filled with french fries and my burger was pleasantly large. In regards to the flavor I do have to say this was probably one of the best tasting burgers I have ever had. I didn't want to note that they do use sweet pickles on their burgers here. But it just works with the flavor that they're going for. My wife ordered the "my girlfriend is not hungry" sampler platter. This came with fries, onion rings, pretzel bites chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks. Everything was great tasting. Their onion rings were cooked to absolute perfection. The restaurant itself on the inside is a little bit small so I could imagine on days that they are busy. It might get a little bit cramped. I did also wanna mention that I did like that. They had a changing table in the restroom. That was a nice touch that you honestly do not see at a lot of restaurants even the mainstream ones.

We also got the sliders. The sliders had a really nice bun. It came with a smash burger Patty, it has wonderful, caramelized, onions, and sliced pickles. It was a very nice combination and they have the yummy thousand island dressing on there similar to In-N-Out. Derick was are server and was doing awesome, especially considering he was alone on a crazy busy day. The food was great, atmosphere decent. We will be back! I was so glad it was better than my expectations!

However, their food was good. We had multiple salads. The pesto chicken was good, we also had the barbecue chicken, bacon salad, but without the bacon.

My friend had an open tab and realized once we got to the parking lot that he had forgotten to close it. He immediately went back inside. It was only around 11:05 PM, about five minutes after closing, and there were still other customers inside the establishment. When he asked to close out his tab, he was told he would be charged an additional fee because the tab had been left open and they closed at 11:00 PM. I understand having a policy for tabs that are actually abandoned, especially if someone leaves for the night and staff have to close everything out after everyone is gone. But that was not the situation here. He had not left the premises, came back in immediately, and there were still customers inside. Charging someone an extra fee under those circumstances felt unnecessary and unfair, especially over a matter of five minutes. My whole group has been repeat customers and have always left satisfied, so it was disappointing to be treated this way over something that could have been handled very easily. Unfortunately, this experience definitely changed our impression of a place we previously enjoyed coming to. Especially considering we come here to celebrate birthdays many times a year!

The Japanese style of grilling each item on a stick and coveted bar seating around the open kitchen squeezed into a narrow bustling space is truly authentic. If you're claustrophobic, walk through the interior dining area to the back patio for an open air experience. Food is ordered from an App so come with a full phone battery charge. You order each skewer and all other items and they are brought to your table as they come off the grill. We ordered a couple Japanese draft beers and the Spicy Garlic Edamame to start as we studied the revolving selection of skewers on the menu. Tip- keep that edamame plate because you're going to want to double dip with that leftover sauce. You choose your own adventure here and the quality of the food and preparation are outstanding. I think Sushi when I think Japanese food-- not here- it's Kushiyaki style ! There's no Sushi!

The Fillet with onion sauce and the ribeye with yuzu were standouts to me. The servers are friendly and efficient. If you want the full experience, come early and snag a seat at the bar so you can watch the dinner theater. Here the focus is on the perfect bite! Tip: if you map it, you'll drive right by it.

Unfortunately, she repeatedly said she didn't know and offered no explanation or reassurance. Her attitude was dismissive and surprisingly unconcerned about what could have been a serious payment system issue. Because I was uncomfortable with the situation and the lack of transparency, I decided to cancel my order and leave. She simply said "OK" and showed little interest in addressing my concerns. Whether this was a system error or not, customers deserve a clear explanation when their credit card is involved in an unexpected transaction. The poor customer service and lack of concern left a very negative impression. I would be extremely cautious about using a credit card here in the future.
