If you like watching planes take off and land while having a delicious tri tip salad or sandwich being served by friendly and professional staff then this place is for you. But you have to be there before 9am or you will wait for 30 mins to be seated. 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

Nice hard working wait staff. The food was a slight disappointment. Took long to get meals out and had to wait longer for our side dishes. My son's enchilada omlet was cold and flavor was off. My BBQ chicken salad was a disappointment. Wilted lettuce, too much bacon and fried onions, garlic toast was hard and cold. We expected the long line, but it took more time than usual. Maybe Sunday afternoons are not the best choice for us. read more

The food here is excellent. Our party ordered the chicken Caesar burrito, the grilled chicken tacos and the turkey melt. The chocolate banana peanut butter milk shake was extraordinary. The only reason I took a star away is the policy of the server asking to close the bill right after ordering. This doesn't make sense since a tip is requested before any service or food has even been received! You are given the option not to close out but we didn't understand this at first. I've never been asked to close out a bill and tip before completing a meal. read more

If you are looking for cheap fast food to eat, this place is not for you. We came here for meeting among friends. Since it was in the morning, all of us ordered from breakfast menu with coffee. Unlike other dine-in restaurants, you must make your order prior to being seated. Hostess was very friendly and helpful when we had questions on the menu items in terms of quantity and size wise. French toast come in small size. So, my friend had to order two order. Seating area had two options as either indoor or outdoor dining experience. Outdoor may be a bit colder environment since it was facing to the Camarillo airport runway. There is also counter area seating option available if you preferred. We opted to sit indoor table. Food came pretty fast. Coffee was hot and strong with frequent refilling. Parking lot may be very busy with limited parking spaces during the lunch hour with clientele from close by Point Mugu as well as Port Hueneme naval stations. No ev chargers nearby and restroom was pretty clean for a busy restaurant. Have a fun eating experience... read more

My absolute favorite breakfast or lunch spot. The food portions are huge and the food is always consistently good. Staff is friendly and attentive. We love watching the planes come and go. They have done a beautiful job upgrading the restaurant over the years. Inside and outside is so nice. I wish they would bring back dinners if only for one night a week. It was great read more

Friendly staff, excellent food, nice ambiance to enjoy friends and family for a sit down meal. We don't really like the order at the desk as you enter part of it but we do see the efficiency in doing it this way. It's worth checking this cafe out. read more

Food is always great, one thing I don't like it that we have to order before being seated but overall great customer service & great Atmosphere read more

Honestly felt very underwhelmed by the experience -- I've heard about this place from multiple folks so was very excited to try. The food was good and the service was quick but honestly not a fan of the whole right next to private planes + airport vibes. This is definitely specific to me so no judgement to anyone who loves this place! It's definitely worth checking out but personally, it was really loud, the planes were annoying and the smell of gasoline was just not it for me. If I do come back will likely eat inside. My friends and I all liked the food but there were some missing elements.. friend ordered a burrito and they forgot the sour crème and guac. I wanted poached but when I saw it - it was soaked in water which I don't usually find in poached eggs. However they were very quick to fix so service is amazing! All the servers and people were great. read more

Waypoint Cafe - Homemade Hash and Eggs, Breakfast Burrito, Huevos Rancheros - American Near Me - Camarillo, California

This was my first visit to this restaurant. I consider it a hidden gem. It's located next to the Camarillo airport. No reservations needed. Upon entering we were handed menus by a friendly staff (how thoughtful). This place is busy, so plan ahead. I ordered the breakfast burger and my boys ordered similar dishes. My wife ordered a seasonal shake. The food was great. The views of the runway only made it a better experience! As for the staff, everyone is friendly, but Marcelo, who introduced himself to us to make sure we were doing well, takes my highest compliment! He was funny and warm. Thank you! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who loves planes and is seeking for an amazing dining experience! read more

By far this is one of the best places to eat in all of Ventura county. Their breakfast and lunch are beyond delicious. I have never had a bad experience here and I have been here many times. The pros are the food, service, and cleanliness. Only one con is the prices. Absolutely outrageous. read more

Cute little cafe by the airport. The staff is friendly and very attentive and the food is delicious. The shakes are huge! And probably the best part of our meal! Get the omelettes in a skillet they are to die for. read more

This is a such a neat experience, has a good open ambiance a With the view of the airplanes at Camarillo Airport and the open back patio. Service is good and prompt, you place your order at the front and then you're seated and food came out in good time and warm. I got a veggie with cheese omelette with a side of bacon and a coffee. Friends got the pancakes I sample and it was delish! Great experience and great view of the planes. We got there at 8 am and we were seated promptly no wait on a Friday morning. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed the food and service. It was so popular that we had trouble finding a place to park. Then there was a line to get in. Don't be dissuaded as the line moved very fast and they take orders in line and at the table. The result was very fast service. The food was top notch. My only complaint is the specials listed on the wall lacked prices. I ordered what I wanted without asking. It was delicious and worth the somewhat high price. The French fries were delicious! read more

This place has always had very good food but I feel like their ordering system is flawed. They used to seat you and take your order, but now you order and then they seat you. There's always a long line when you arrive because there's maybe one or two people taking orders and it feels like you waste half your time in line before you even get to grab a menu. It feels like it could be improved if they had QR code menus posted outside somewhere, or even just paper menus that were easily accessible to people waiting outside. But you have to wait for someone to be finished with a menu or staff to notice you to hand you one, and I personally find that frustrating. The ordering system is my only gripe with this place because the food and service have always been amazing. My personal favorite is their waffles. I think they taste like churros. And service is always great! They are always on top of your drinks and make sure that your coffee/soda is filled. Staff is always nice, I'll definitely still frequent here despite the annoying ordering ritual. read more

Stopped in for another visit and had to share an update. After a short wait we over heard the host talking about the fresh red snapper fish tacos. His description of fresh local caught fish, hand delivered in the AM, prepped and available only after 11am had me sold. The dish comes with 3 tacos, fried to perfection with the fresh accoutrements and a delicious crema sauce was absolutely some of the best fish tacos I've had! Served with "nacho chips" with their enchilada sauce and cheese melted on the the dish was absolutely fantastic! I also had to try their highly promoted dirty chai latte that tasted like fall in a cup! Vibrant notes of cinnamon and the chai favorites is the perfect drink for the season! Love me a visit to Waypoint! read more

Food is delicious and served is fantastic going elsewhere isn't that great it's worth the money

Delicious food, quick and friendly service, and the best ambiance (watching planes on the runway). Prices are also reasonable for the portions you get! We loved our brunch time here. You order at the counter and they seat you after and bring out your food. Ordered a burger, kids sliders, chicken & waffles, and clam chowder soup. With the exception of the sliders (meat was kind of dry), everything else was tasty! Service was also SUPER quick and friendly. We got a coffee and the waitress even asked if we wanted a coffee to go after we paid, which was very thoughtful and hardly any restaurants actually do that. My kids loved watching the planes while eating. Overall, loved this place! I'm not in the minority here as we did have to wait in line outside. However, they are so efficient that the line moves rather quickly! read more

This place is cute and atmospheric. Portions are huge, I only ate half, so honestly, you can even get one and share. The airplanes are visible from the dining area. Service is quick. Before you enter, you are waiting in the line and looking over the menu. By the time you get to the front desk, you should know what to order. Then, after ordering, you go to your table, and food gets to your table in the first 5 minutes. I would go again! And you should try it read more

The food is good, if rather priced horribly. It is horrendously expensive for what you get. And the loud music doesn't help if you have to scream at each other to talk. They charge an extra $2 for a small portion of sweet potato fries, a charge which is not listed on the menu. read more

First time visit. Sat inside however the outdoor patio looked very nice. Fast table service. Food came out fast and it was good size portions and tasty. Choice of sides with sandwiches and burgers. read more

Trust me--don't come here unless you're ready to wait over 30 minutes in line. It's 11:30 on a weekday and the line is still insanely long--just like on the weekends. If you're thinking weekdays are less crowded, think again. Save yourself the frustration and try coming at a different time. That said, the food and service are great--totally worth it... if you've got the patience for the wait! 3 stars for the year around wait. Okay -- fine the food is really good, I'll give it a 4 star but this place is a little pricy. $60 for two people. read more

Went there last Sunday, ordered chicken and waffles, and the waffles were not fresh. They tasted stale and reheated. The chicken wasn't good either, the breading was burnt and the chicken was dry. My husband ordered biscuits and gravy, and he said his food was mediocre. We expected a lot more. We won't be back read more

This place, hands down has the best service at a restaurant I have ever had. I have popped in a few times but most recently Mother's day (no reservations, silly I know) and even though we waited 2 hours, the line moved quickly, there were areas to sit down, a mini runway and control tower area (so cute being at an airport) for kiddos to get their wiggles out and complimentary treats like cinnamon rolls, coffee and water passed out to folks in line- how thoughtful! They are also soooo organized- the menu's start getting passed out toward the front of the line, you're given a number and you order and pay before you sit down. Once you sit down your food comes out quickly and efficiently. While you're sitting there is a good flow of communication between the staff and your table- can I clear this for you, can I get you anything, ect. I love that! Esp when I need water. We also were accommodated with a high chair, which was a thought before we even sat down. The staff is always so friendly and kind without being overwhelming. Lot's of smiles and mothers day wishes yesterday helped made my day great! Devon, the kind staff member who took our order was SO well versed with the menu and even suggested we put a fun twist on our Chicken caesar wrap by adding the buffalo chicken and some blue cheese to dip with bleu cheese crumbles on top- I only had a bite of this because I was already so full from my milkshake (woops) and a few bites of my tri-tip caesar salad. We love the patio dining area, it's covers and heaters keep you nice and warm. We've never eaten inside but the whole place seems to be spick and span clean as well. The food- the portions are huge- I barely made a dent on my salad before I was pleasantly full. The chicken ceasar wrap is also probably too portions and the milkshake could easily be shared by two! This time I opted for the vanilla milkshake which was a on the lighter side if you still wanna enjoy a milkshake, next time I am curious about the expresso shake. I was also surprised that the prices were align with the portion sizes imo- two meals (which are for 2/3 people with the size) and a shake for around $60. If you visit be prepared to have it be worth the wait! To be honest there are def times you can scoot in when the lines shorter, so there's not always a wait. read more

Good food and views? Yes it has it. Get there early if you don't want to wait in line. The service was excellent, friendly staff and very observant. The food was beautifully prepared and a delight to behold. It arrived promptly, ensuring no long wait. read more

I have been coming here for years with my family since I was college. The food and the service have been good usually. Over the years it got busier and honestly the service has gone down. I do like how you take the order before you seated, but I don't like how you have to tip before hand. The wait was an hour which I wouldn't mind if the food and service was good. The waiting option could be better;I would prefer if we could leave a phone number and then come back when it our turn and then take our order then and then be seated. That way we don't have to stand in the line especially in the heat, with a pregnant women and elderly parents it was getting warm. There is no where to sit while waiting in line. Also if a line is required to place an order the. To manage the line better because there was twice that someone tried to cut. If you go on a less busy day, it would be better. The place is cute and the outdoor you can see the airplanes landing which is fun to watch. The food is aesthetically pleasing and good. The drinks are aesthetically pleasing also and the drinks were delicious. I got the cinnamons rolls French toas combo which was soft and sweet. It was also crunchy on the outside.I also the service is okay. Once the order was taken and we sat down the drinks and food came fast but after that no one check on us. We didn't have anyone ask us if we wanted more water or to go boxes. There was a server who was there talking to another costumer for 5 minutes and I get it I was server too. Sometimes you get into a conversation, but our job is to make sure the customer are taken care of. We had to get our own to go boxes. Also we were a party of 6 and were put in booth, and it was uncomfortable to eat. We couldn't really move at all. The booth can seat 6, but it should seat 4 to be comfortable. Honestly I am not sure if I would come back just because it wasn't a good experience, the food was good but the service and the ambiance wasn't it. read more

The food was ok, the service was mediocre and the ambiance was extremely noisy. Granted that it was a busy weekend but my impression was that dining here was not worth it. I had a Rueben sandwich the menu had described as heaping pastrami, it was not! Minimum pastrami that was Ed way overcook and charred on the edges. Not worth the money. read more

I like how you order at first and then you're seated. The food was great. We had the buffalo chicken sandwich and the tomato bisque soup. Very tasty. The only thing I wished for was more airplanes taking off but the restaurant doesn't have any control over that lol. It was a nice and calm environment and would recommend. Will be back whenever in the area again. read more

Waypoint Cafe - airplanes next to the patio - American Near Me - Camarillo, California

Last review I see was 3 months ago. So what's new? Well... it's not good. I'll enumerate it for brevity 1. Walk in to original host station. Here you place your order. Grab a menu "over there" 2. Return to a confusing line? To place your order... it's getting very congested as people navigate this new approach. Most are not ready to order so line builds. 3. The one host takes your order as you stand. Then the tip option comes up as you pay your tab. Really.... So I'm standing to place my order, I pay and they want me to TIP! For what? I'm standing to pay, not at my table, no food or service. This is not tip worthy, what have they done... not even seated. 4. As we JUST sit down, the food is delivered. Not even time to sip coffee and settle in. 5 ordered California Omelette with biscuit and potatoes to share. Omelette smothered with cold sour cream and guacamole. Can't even see my omelette! No longer hot. My homemade biscuit was burnt on all edges. Clearly the person who plated this dish should have tossed that biscuit as it was tough and dry. 6. My observation is there is no dedicated table server. All of them serve and buss tables. Hard to track someone down for water and jam/jelly. No ownership... soon to be robots??? 7. I hope this experiment ends soon. It's all about bitts in seats and table turn-over. I felt rushed for local crowd who may just wish to enjoy a leisurely meal with real service! It was a fast food joint. No TIP. Talked with some local folks outside and they were dismayed. Waypoint you can do better. read more

First experience for a diner at a small municipal airport. First impression there's a full parking lot with line outside the door of maybe 50 people for a friday at noon. Line moves fairly quickly was in line for approximately 20 minutes before being seated. Ample amount of menus to look at while waiting. Ambiance inside is very nice with the options of indoor or patio dining just outside the hangars. Food service was quick and quality did not disappoint. Definite little gem nestled in the airport. read more
