Great place! If you are 2nd guessing, don't! Order right up front, then if it is raining like it was today, step inside. They had the wood stove going today, which was nice...looks like a book shelf, where you could grab a book and read a bit.

After a backpacking trip, we came across this little burger joint on the way home. We were craving burgers, and that's just what we got. The burgers were juicy and tender. Made just the way we ordered. The price was less than we expected, a bargain for sure! We will definitely be back!

Fantastic burgers. Absolutist great. I got the burger special, frys, and a vanilla shake. So good, Right off the main road. Perfect midway point for a break if you’re riding a motorcycle like me,

Middle of nowhere spot The burgers are really good, and the mac and cheese bites are worth it. The scenery is also amazing!

Small town burger place that made delicious burgers w thick bacon, cold shakes w fun flavors (I had orange creamsicle), crispy onion rings and fries w some skin on them. Everything was served hot and w quick, friendly service. Was not expecting much from a small town burger place but this spot was fantastic!!! Only negative was that the bathroom is a portable unit, but it was super clean and smelled fine

I came for the corn burritos which are taquitos but with beans instead of meat that are topped with sauce and cheese. The corn burritos exceeded my expectations. The ingredients were fresh and the sauce was mildly spicy. I will be back.

We stopped by here on our way to NorCal from LA, and it was definitely the perfect spot to eat on our road trip! We got the summit burger, tater tots, and a chocolate strawberry milkshake which was absolutely amazing! The seating area is a bit small for larger parties, and they only have an outdoor restroom, but both were very clean! Would definitely recommend stopping by if you’re driving through Ojai!

Nice place to have lunch. Even though I just live a few miles away, I feel like I'm on vacation when there. Good food and a good variety. Watch for the local pig that will stop by on occasion.

I grew up on chorizo and egg burritos, so I'm very picky. When all you know growing up with a Mexican mother is Mexican breakfasts, you get a lil cautious about how others make it. All I got to say is, these are absolutely delicious 😋 and can't wait to get more tomorrow morning lol Very nice staff, friendly and great service. Feels like I've been going here forever, you feel welcomed the minute you get there and love the atmosphere. Highly recommend!!

This place is the bomb!!! I've been going here since 2021 and everytime I stop by the burgers are fantastic! Greats size, amazing taste, and very quick from order to table! The service is quite good as well! Their fries are fantastic nice and crispy and quite big too! The shakes always taste great especially the chocolate milkshake! And for me the location is the best part! Lovely drive to the Summit and the tree they have outside gives great shade. The atmosphere there always feels like home. Can't beat a small little burger shack like the Summit! Just wish they had longer hours!! Could only imagine how great it would be having a burger at night there!

Great little place to stop and grab a snack , I've been there three times now. The food isn't over the top fantastic or anything to write home about. But it's not something that won't keep me from coming back again. The staff was nice, and it's a nice treat to eat outdoors with the beautiful surroundings.

It is getting pricey now. Burger, little bit of fries and a small drink for $12+. The burger was good!

Stopped by on a warm summer afternoon. I've driven by this place a bunch of times and never stopped. So I decided to get the cookies and cream milk shake. It was OK, nothing special. I really like the old school mom and pop burger stand feel. I'll stop again and try the burger next time.

I arrived at 2:30 the hamburgers are always great and so are the shakes I order no problem , however It was sad to see a lady with 2 small children wanting a shake at 2:48 and they closed up in front of her a would not take their order. The sign and hours posted say closed at 3: then they need to close at 3 it's wrong of them to close earlier cause they are in the middle of nowhere. During the mudslide and road closure they asked for people to come out and support them it's wrong. Please call ahead to ask what time they will be closing .

Google says open till 5PM on Saturdays. Drove over an hour to eat here, only to arrive at 3:58PM and be turned away. Atrocious experience is an understatement.
