A very casual restaurant with plenty of atmosphere but don't expect a normal Ventura venue. I find the place humorous. Sometimes the food is very good and sometimes it can be just average, From the outside there are great smells and lively music and this will entice you to venture in. There is an outside deck where you will want... More

To me this is the best ever. we had not only the best waiter but a wonderful experience. watching the tall ships come in and pelicans going crazy on the harbor, never saw anything like it before. this is a very chill local I liked it best of all the restaurants in the area. I live off Oxnard Shores and... More

Blackbeard's BBQ put on a very nice and quite tasty buffet for our party out on their patio. The view was beautiful and the location was convenient to the boat trip we'd just taken as a memorial gathering. We had prearranged the buffet with lots of support from owner Mark, and he was very accommodating. The food was plentiful and... More

As you walk around the harbor you will hear a live band. Just head towards that and you will pick up the scent of a barbecue in progress. Blackbeard the Pirate mannequin will be at the door ( photo-op). Just go inside or sit outside and eat and drink and listen to the music or have a dance. Always a... More

We ordered baby back ribs and a shrimp salad. The menu said the shrimp were grilled. When the meal arrived the shrimp looked boiled and the supposed Ceasar salad was made with wilted lettuce, probably from the buffet with assorted vegetables like old broccoli. The ribs looked resurrected from last Sunday's buffet. They were dry and old. I did eat... More

Don't order the lobster bisque whatever you do Not even lobster, not even a bisque The locals seem to enjoy drinking there, maybe there's a reason they don't order the food

Tri-tip stew was loaded with celery (ugh), not much tri-tip. Tri-tip plate was tasty, but mighty chewy.

What a shame .. 5:30 pm on a Sunday in July. how lovely to sit in the patio overlooking our beautiful harbor --UNTIL ALL THE SMOKERS CRAP DRIFTED OVER US. You would think the owners would know better and have some common sense. The OVERPRICED BAD food took 25 minutes to arrive.. was not crowded .. the veggie burger was... More
