Today, the owners of Bandits BBQ in Old Town Camarillo announced that, with heavy hearts, they have decided to close this location. This location has operated for 21 years.
The Thousand Oaks location, which has been serving its delicious BBQ since 1990, continues to serve the local community. Learn more about Bandits at www.banditsbbq.com.
Several folks have indicated that The Gallery Restaurant at The Shoppes at Westlake Village will be serving their last meal on February 25th. We have confirmed this. While we are sorry to hear the news, the good news is that a new eatery is slated to open soon, possibly next month - and the name of the eatery was referred to as "Modern Kitchen.” More info to come soon.
The Gallery originally opened at The Shoppes in April 2015. Other places anticipated to open soon at The Shoppes that have been mentioned here include 101 BBQ Hut (in the former Hook Burger), Board and Brew (in the former Pick Up Stix that moved to the Westlake Plaza) and A Tea Thing Boba (in the former Which Wich).
Employees at the Islands Agoura Hills heard this week that this location will be closing its doors at the end of February. Sorry to hear this news about a local eatery that has operated for decades. The Newbury Park location remains open. www.islandsrestaurants.com
Blaze Pizza, which operated in the Northgate Plaza in Thousand Oaks since July 2017, has closed its doors. Located next to Little Calf Creamery and The Habit, both of which are open for business.
The Grill on the Alley at The Promenade at Westlake in Thousand Oaks has confirmed that it will be closing its doors at close of business on Saturday, October 29th. The Grill has served the Conejo Valley since 2008. Its Beverly Hills location remains open. www.thegrillonthealley.com Sad to hear about this as from time to time we had nice memories here, including our son’s high school graduation dinner.
Heard but unconfirmed to be the future occupant of the space will be Red O "Taste of Mexico" (locations currently in Newport Beach, La Jolla, Santa Monica). www.redorestaurant.com
Sheesh, no one told us that Peebee & Jay’s in Newbury Park, which opened its doors in the middle of the pandemic in August 2020, recently closed its doors. I’m told sometime this summer.
That said, the NP location has not been removed as of yet from the Peebee & Jay’s website at www.peebeeandjaysonline.com. Still hungry for one of their delicious sandwiches? Their Carpinteria and Port Hueneme locations are still open.
Got word this week that Zen Garden Chinese Cuisine in Oak Park at 668 Lindero Canyon Road is going through a change in ownership. It will be operating through Friday, September 30th, then in the coming weeks will reopen as Yunnan Garden, offering authentic Yunnan/Sichuan style Chinese food.
Zen Garden originally opened in May 2013, giving it a nine year, four month run. Osaka Sushi was the previous tenant in that spot for you local history buffs.
Best wishes to Lin and Yao of Zen Garden in their future endeavors.
Pink's Hot Dogs at the Camarillo Premium Outlets recently closed its doors. It opened in August 2018. But this Hollywood landmark that has served hot dogs and hamburgers since 1939 is still open in Los Angeles. More information at www.pinkshollywood.com.
