Fabulous Atmosphere, Fresh Food, Delightful Service. We dined alfresco… very nice rustic outdoor seating area highly recommend the roasted Brussel Sprouts and Mac cheese and mouth watering Steak. From NY to California this was my favorite eatery

The 3 stars is for the food only. We stopped by for lunch on a Sunday. Had 2 bloody Mary’s, tri tip sandwich, nachos, and hush puppies. The food was mediocre at best. Do not order the hush puppies. It was super dry and not good. We sent it back and wasn’t charged, thank you for that. Besides the food, I was happy that it was pet friendly and the outside is really spacious and nice. It’s a cute place just outside of downtown. There were lots of bikers there.

Ojai Deer Lodge is a historical place filled with reminders of the past. We really enjoyed seeing all the antiques and the rustic decor. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The menu has a variety of items sure to please anyone’s palette. We ordered the patty melt, served on sourdough bread, and a generous amount of grilled onions. It was a delight to the taste buds. The side of coleslaw was very flavorful, and the cabbage was very fresh. I highly recommend Ojai Deer Lodge.

Our first (and only) visit to the Ojai Deer Lodge was for Thanksgiving dinner. To say that it was a disappointment would be an understatement.
It was the food. Believe me when I say that it was comparable to the meals served in homeless shelters. Of course, those meals were free of charge; this one was over $200.
The saving grace was the service. Our waitress did a terrific job waiting on our table while balancing the needs of the crowd of other diners.
Note that there is very limited parking here.

This place is super fun. Feels like we are in an old ski town. The vibes are mountain/biker turned hippie rancher. Great selection of local drinks. They bring in some cool indie bands/artists for live music, they also have a pool table out front to enjoy. There usually is a cover to get in on weekends.

Incredible staff, incredible food, incredible atmosphere. Dee is the best waiter i have ever had. And the owner is AMAZING. Definitely worth a stop in.

My colleague’s and I had a lunch break during our work conference at the Ojai Valley Inn and one of them highly recommended we go to the Ojai Deer Lodge for lunch. It was an excellent suggestion.
The lodge is situated right off a main road with parking out front. There was a nice side courtyard with outdoor seating and ample seating in the rustic lodge. We decided to sit outside and enjoy the sun and fresh air. I would highly recommend that.
The menu selection of food was very diverse at very reasonable prices. I ordered the wild salmon on wild rice with asparagus. The portion was very of good size and the price- just $26.
Overall I would definitely recommend stopping by and checking out the lodge. Although we didn’t eat inside I did get a quick tour. There was a small music stage, amazing decor of large antler chandeliers and a bar with a wide range of spirits. I would say it would be fun to come here in the evening. So come check this place out!

We decided to eat dinner before our friend’s band went on. The food was amazing. Ask for more Chimichuri sauce for the steak frites. Bbq platter was delish. Desserts were so good. Flourless chocolate cake, and tiramisu. Dancing area was fun. This place feels like a locals only, hole in the wall. But service was great and the crowd was friendly.

Unfriendly vibe from the moment we walked in. Shook it off and got seated. Was ready for a nice warm meal and a place to relax.
Didn’t go as planned. When I took my first bite of steak, I bit down on gristle and a taste of old grease. It didn’t help that it was not warm (as if it had been sitting, soaking in the oil for some time). I could have even made it work had it been a decent quality piece of meat that came to me after sitting for a while. But it’s rough to take your first bite that’s chewy and cold. Yikes.
The potato was ok. Granted, it’s hard to mess that up.
It’s just that it’s hard to walk away feeling content when the atmosphere is cold, the food mediocre (at best) and it feels that you’re putting people out by having to wait on you.
Hard pass for a next time.

Delicious food, great service and love the old lodge feel. The pulled pork sandwich was packed with flavor and the tri tip was cooked to perfection. The beer selection was on point! I will definitely go back to try the rest of the menu!
