The wait in line was a bit long but the overall experience was worth the wait. The staff are really great and the flow is well managed. The food: I had the tri-tip omelette and it was to die fo. The meat is spiced perfectly & tender and avocado & sour cream topping rounded out the entré. Bottom line: When visiting Camarillo make it a goal to dine here. You'll be glad you did. Cheers read more

The food is pretty darn good. Love the French fries. Hand dipped milkshakes are divine and they really serve two, if you can talk someone into sharing. You order, pay and are prompted to tip, before you get a table. I truly do not like that part. I feel rushed when I order standing up and I don't consider it a full service restaurant, however this does expedite the turning of tables. Better for the servers and cuts the wait time. It is clean, it is busy. It is fun to watch the small planes come and go. There is inside and outside seating. read more

Get your flight plan ready, because your taste buds are about to soar! The entire dining experience is catered to your aviation fancy, whether you're a pilot or simply someone who's hoping to be one. Situated right next to the runway, you'll have a clear view of all the takeoffs and landings on the strip. Aviation murmur floats through the dining crowd, with battle-hardened pilots trading stories of their glory days. The aroma of the meticulously prepared food also wafts through the air, competing for attention of your senses. The service is first-class worthy. The manager inquired of my needs, and he personally brought over a sized t-shirt when I requested one. Here's looking at you, kid! read more

The food is always on point. As well as the view. We love to bring the family and friends here just kick back and enjoy mimosas. Our dog even loves it here, especially when the weather is beautiful. Btw, the staff here and their attention to detail is incredible. They always take care of us no matter how big our entourage is last minute #BaptisteClan read more

Back again! Like always food was delicious! Chilaquiles and chicken tacos were spot on. My husband enjoyed his mimosas and my tea was never empty. We sat inside today and admired how hard their employee work to make you happy. Every single person comes together. I wish more restaurants were like this. Great restaurant and great food! read more

It was a great day so we sat outside. The patio area was so nice and we got to see the planes and the county helicopter takeoff and land. The service was great! It was very busy that day and our food still came out in a great time. They have a little bit of everything. You'll for sure find something for everyone. The brisket l sandwich I got was really good and I definitely recommend it. My friends got brisket tacos and the other one got a salad with brisket in it. Both looked really good and they enjoyed their meal. Before I left, I had to get their well-known shakes. I got a coffee shake and it was probably my favorite shake I've ever had. I will definitely be back to try more of read more

Waypoint has become our annual tradition for Thanksgiving break week. Since my son is old enough now to also enjoy the planes viewing area, we knew we'd have a great breakfast experience. We got there right before a major rush so we got seated right away and had the choice to pick from inside and outside. There were plenty of people already wrapping up their early breakfast so we got a great view. I tried something new this time and hashbrown since I knew the O'Brien potatoes weren't my favorite from last time. I got the opened faced biscuits & gravy sandwich and subbed the sausage for bacon which was a great choice! Love their thick and crispy bacon! The gravy was so delicious and flavorful. My husband said the breakfast burrito was a bit on the greasy side but overall, really enjoyed our experience again. read more

Came here on a Friday morning for lunch. There was a long line which made me think their food is good. We waited about 30 min and when we got in, I didn't understand why there's a wait when there's a lot of empty tables inside. Anyway, we were guided to a register first and we placed our orders. It was more like pay now eat later. Our orders came fast. We ordered chicken fried steak and that was ok. Nothing special. The guava lemonade was really good. I suggest to dine outside if you like small planes. read more

I was in Camarillo for the weekend visiting some relatives. My aunt was keen on taking us to Waypoint Cafe for breakfast! We showed up early and waited in line for a few minutes before opening time. Whilst waiting, we looked at the menu so we'd be ready to order. Ordering is done up front then you are seated. I opted for the cinnamon roll and a guava mimosa. After sitting, it was only a few short minutes before all of the food was brought out. The mimosa was a generous portion and very delicious. I thought it had a good ratio of juice to champagne. The French toast was very good! It was sweet and rich but not too much. My family and I didn't speak much since we were very much enjoying our food. The style of the restaurant is very efficient but I never felt rushed. It's down to business with eating and seating but everyone was very helpful and kind. Overall, I had a good time at Waypoint! I'm sure my family and I shall return again :) definitely come early if you want to try it! read more

We get there and it's a huge line! But we took an Uber so no choice. I ask how long the wait is and the erson up front is a local and she said " it's quick!" Waited for about 15 minutes for awesome food. Glad we stayed. Food was out in 10 minutes. Took some pictures this time. You won't be sorry. read more

Picked a Thursday morning to try this place out since I've been told the weekend wait can take up to 1.5 hrs. We waited about 5 mins for a party of 2, you order as soon as you walk in at the register then you take a number and pick a seat. Your food is takes to your table and the waiters to come and check on you for refills and anything else you might need. The food was delicious and had good options for coffee which we love! The chicken fried steak was good I wouldn't say the best I ever had but delicious nevertheless. The view is amazing and the atmosphere was quiet even with being outside by the airport, it did get loud for about 5-10 minutes when a plane was taking off but that is to be expected you are at an airport after all. I will come back, but again during the week where the wait time was perfect. Sensory level- a 7 for sound and a 5 for lighting in the outdoor seating area. read more

Long line on Saturday morning. Counter service is efficient. Service throughout our meal was outstanding. Every employee was pleasant. Food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. I enjoy the outdoor patio and fresh air while looking over the airport and seeing the mountains in the distance. I thoroughly enjoy the cheese enchilada omelet, but their hash browns were barely warm. I considered sending them back but didn't. Coffee was regularly being topped off. read more

Waypoint Cafe - Cheese Enchilada Omelet - American Near Me - Camarillo, California

I LOVE Waypoint cafe! I've taken many friends and family members to this place over the years and it never disappoints! The Sunday rush can be kind of crazy so get there early to beat the lines. When we got there, we waited in line less than 10 minutes before our orders were taken at the front desk before being taken to our table. We got a nice table outside with a great view of the runway. I love how the restaurant is decorated and how there's even a miniature runway in the back for the kids to play in. We are so impressed by the service too! My favorite dish is definitely the lemon ricotta pancakes. I told my friends that they're light and fluffy and perfect. Although they were put off by the idea of cheese in pancakes, they both agreed they were the perfect balance. Also, the pancakes are HUGE and you get three! It's definitely worth it. My friend ordered the banana nut waffles and they were delicious too! I liked how crispy and crunchy the outside was while still being tender and soft inside. Overall, we will definitely be back! Next time, we want to try the mimosas and milkshakes! read more

My family has been coming to Waypoint for years and we've loved all their phases! Food is always what you expect, huge portions, fast services and obviously the Cam Airport view you can't beat! Do I love the switch from getting full service to now ordering at the host stand and then as you sit down your food is already at the table? Not necessarily....I'm someone that who likes to have a couple sips of my coffee and chat for a minute before I dig in BUT I will say it's ideal for people with toddlers who need their food asap! The new outdoor patio and upgraded bar cart is outstanding, the Pineapple mimosas are my favorite and the staff is still awesome. We'll keep coming back for years to come! read more

Waypoint Cafe - Cinnamon Roll - American Near Me - Camarillo, California

I came here for breakfast with a friend. There was a line to enter that was about a 20 minute wait. Once we made it to the door, one of the staff members sat us and then called a waitress over to take our order and we paid upfront. I asked the waitress if we could be on separate checks. She said yes and then left for a moment and came back. She had just split the check 50/50 which wasn't exactly right considering I had ordered a bowl of oatmeal that was $12 and my friend ordered a full breakfast plate that was $21.50. So I am subtracting a star for that. The service was quick and we had received our food within 8-10 minutes of ordering. I had ordered one of the most impressive bowls of oatmeal i have ever had at a restaurant. And actually it is probably the first bowl I have ever ordered at a restaurant. It was steel cut oats with craisins, nuts, cinnamon and banana. They also served a tiny amount of milk, brown sugar and raisins with it. I really enjoyed it. We did have the wait staff check-in with us a few times and they refilled our waters. Since we were inside, I didn't get to see the planes landing which is a neat experience for the outside patio. read more

Waypoint Cafe is in our top 2 Breakfast places in Ventura County. We go because the food quality is consistently top notch and because of the fun ambiance. Enjoy a mimosa or milkshake while watching planes and helicopters traveling down the runway. There's a kiddie runway with tower for the kids in all of us on the patio as well as a beautiful fountain. Now for the adults, you'll enjoy a full menu including breakfast served all day, burgers, tri-tip sandwiches, salads and desserts. The food is consistently good and the kitchen takes pride in everything that's brought to your table. Our favorites are the cinnamon roll, omelettes, biscuits and gravy, ricotta pancakes, sandwiches and my go to is the Ortega chicken sandwich. The grilled chicken is perfectly seasoned and thick and juicy served with guacamole and chipotle mayo and pepper rack between 2 brioche buns- heaven!! The service is good but be prepared to stand in line and order before you're seated. We like that because the line seems to move more efficiently. read more

Overall, really enjoyed my first visit- interesting menu, tasty food, fun to watch the planes! I'd give it a 4.5 if half stars were available with my main complaint being how loud it is (sat on the outdoor patio right next to the building, might be less loud in other spots). The service is interesting with how you order when you arrive, but it was easy to get the attention of the wandering servers once seated and everyone was very friendly. read more

Waypoint Cafe provides such a unique dining experience that I've never had anywhere else. Situated in the Camarillo Airport, the restaurant provides close up views of the planes taking off and landing on the runway. There are two outdoor seating areas, one of which is a lot closer to the planes than the other section which is connected to the restaurant and has patio shade. The area closer to the planes is occasionally loud when the planes come by to park but it's not common. The runway is quite a bit away from the seating area. The food is alright. Good but nothing too special. We got the Pastrami sandwich, Chicken and biscuits, and Alma milkshake. Milkshake was top notch!! Loved that it came with the classic metal refill container too with some extras :) Pastrami sandwich was solid. We got it on sourdough instead or rye and that was a huge plus. Only mistake was that we asked for fries for our side and it came with potato salad instead; this problem was quickly fixed by the very attentive servers. Also we asked for mustard on the side instead of in the sandwich; I think they missed this note as well but I didn't wanna complain about something so minor. The chicken and biscuits was alright for us. The biscuit was fluffy, but we thought it was too dry with honestly not enough gravy. The chicken was very yummy though. We ended up not finishing the biscuit. Large portions though!! Overall, despite the food, I still had such a great time here, being able to sit outside and watch the plans fly out. It was such a unique experience and it's a great place to take the family or even a date. read more

We've been coming to Waypoint Cafe since I was a kid and it's always a treat! The giant sodas are served in milkshake cups. All the food is good - I love the tuna melt and everything they serve for breakfast. The line is always long, but they move it along pretty quickly, now that you have to order before you're seated. Take the kids outside to play on the kid-sized "runway" and watch the real planes coming and going - so fun! read more

This brunch spot has it all, from delicious drinks to yummy food and a wait to go along. The line to is very long but it's because the food is good, the ambience is nice (especially when the weather is perfect) and you order and pay at the counter before you're seated. I really like the chicken and waffles, Dave's Famous Chicken, Cinnamon Roll (huge) and of course a milkshake. read more

Waypoint Cafe - Full tri-tip sandwich, chocolate, banana milkshake, sweet potato fries, and fried chicken and waffles - American Near Me - Camarillo, California

First time coming to this gem. I was invited here by my coworkers for breakfast/brunch. It's a quaint spot that is super popular. We met here at 10 and waited in line outside to get in. While you wait in line you get a menu so you can decide on what you're going to eat by the time you make it to the front of the line. Once in the front of the line, you place your order and pay before being seated. The line does move fairly quickly, we waited no more than about 20 minutes. Also, you get an option of inside or outside seating. We sat inside just because we were ready to eat (lol). Inside was nice and you can still see outside. Outside was the view of the Camarillo airport which is a small commercial airport located right outside of the restaurant. The food was delicious! I couldn't decide between the pancakes, French toast, or breakfast sandwich. I couldn't make a decision so I let the waiter decide. The breakfast was fresh, hot, and delicious. In addition to breakfast, I choose the tropical mimosa. The tropical mimosa was pineapple. Orange juice and cranberry juice mixed with champagne. The food arrived about 10 minutes after being seated and the drinks arrived within a few minutes of being seated. Everything was great from the food to the views and customer service. Since you order before seating. Different workers come around to refill your water and to make sure everything is okay. I definitely will be coming back to try something else on the menu. read more

An over hyped brunch spot in Camarillo. Small parking lot. Small restaurant. When you open the doors, there's a small waiting area. You HAVE TO know what you're going to order when you tell them how many people are in your party. Then they will find you a seat, either inside or outside. They'll give you a # card and seat you. Food was ok. Enchilada omelet was really good. And their cinnamon roll French toast was way too sweet. They do not give you some berries on the side of it or anything. Overall, it's a decent restaurant. It's 5 mins away from the Camarillo Outlets. read more

I went here for a late brunch with family visiting town. Customer service is absolutely outstanding! Andrew the host was incredibly accommodating, especially with our two year old.

Waypoint is just one of those places that you keep coming back to. As you sit there taking in the surroundings and feeling the cool breeze blowing off the ocean, you can't help but feel like you're on vacation somewhere that isn't in the middle of Camarillo! Service is always excellent and everyone is very friendly. Marcello was our server on this occasion, as well as on past visits, and he is just awesome! Whether you are here for breakfast or lunch, the food is always solid and they also offer good-sized portions. Lines can be long on the weekend and around lunch time during the week, however, it moves pretty quickly and it's worth the wait. Cool vibes inside, with music in the background, & sipping on a cold beer watching helicopters and planes come and go...what more can you ask for :) read more

To kick off the new year (2025), I want to update my review from this wonderful restaurant, Waypoint Cafe. I can't believe it's been 3.5 years since finding this place, but I wanted to say that it is as wonderful and delicious as ever. We now have come to know much of the staff, and I want to say that many of them are long-standing employees. It is a VERY WELL RUN establishment, and the employees all seem to get along and enjoy what they do... and who they do it for !! We've been around at the end of their business day when they're having a staff meeting. They are constantly striving to improve, although from our vantage point, it seems pretty near perfect already. I really respect the business model they have. It's just an added bonus to always get such tasty, well-prepared food every time we show up. My husband and I tend to be creatures of habit (where food is concerned), so we always order the saaaaaaaaaaaame things here... patty melt for him and tuna melt for me... with fries, although my husband switches to onion rings sometimes... all washed down with passionfruit iced tea. They use quality ingredients, which are prepared perfectly, and the dishes ALWAYS turn out GREAT. Every single time. We absolutely love this place. read more

I've been coming here for years and have just forgotten to do a review. About 5 years ago they switched to ordering up front, getting a number and finding a table, so no more table service. They'll run the food out to you and clean your table after so be sure to tip at least some at the register. It's a good place for breakfast and lunch, but there's almost always a line to get in so expect to wait. I've had a little of everything from here but on this occasion I had the country fried steak and eggs with hash browns. For the side I got the massive homemade biscuit and gravy which was my favorite part. Everything was good and extremely filling thanks to their portions. However nothing was amazing, it was all just decent and not worth the long wait. Luckily I came when the line wasn't that long, but have left in the past when I've seen a long line. To drink I opted for coffee, and that's where they lose points. The coffee was the worst swill I've ever tasted and no amount of little flavored creamers could mask the nasty burnt after taste. I wish they had proper creamer but they just have little single serving cups. The service is friendly, and fast as can be considering the popularity of this place. A staff member did offer to get me something else in lieu of the coffee when she asked how everything was and I made it a point to mention the toilet water they poured in my cup, but I stuck to water. It's fun for the little ones to see planes and helicopters taking off and landing. Patio dining is a favorite of mine as well. So overall ambiance is nice for a brunch spot. Well that's this critic's review, until next time I'll be eating. read more

The Waypoint Cafe at Camarillo Airport deserves at least four additional stars; one for each letter in "KCMA." Honestly, the FAA ought to plot this spot as an official navigation fix because every pilot should log a flight plan for the ultimate $100 cheeseburger run. They've perfected the holy trinity of dining: service that's spot-on without being overbearing, food that qualifies as culinary air superiority, and a setting that's equally appealing whether you're beneath the patio umbrellas or inside watching the aircraft roll by. As for me, I'm on the manifest every Wednesday or Saturday, faithfully lined up for the tri-tip sandwich with the Santa Maria sauce with the recipe rumored to be as top secret as the Colonel's own classified friend chicken ingredients. Keep up the good work read more

My family and I chose this place for brunch one Sunday (keep in mind that the post-church crowd made the line long but it moves really quick.) I appreciate that you order and pay before you're sat that way the food comes soon after. They only had outside seating available but it was covered and near the tarmac so great view. I ordered the California omelette and shared the French toast plate with my husband - both were amazing. 10/1 read more
