Phil's

Wow!!! Simply wow!! Everything. Here is basically wow! Found this place incidentally and gladly I did! Trying to find a place that is open late is hard but found a place that is a bar and a restaurant and open late! Perfect package! They also have happy hour so take advantage! Decided to come here with a friend because looking at their menu, food looked amazing, seating was great and highly rated and plus open later than many other places so decided to give it a try. It’s like a hidden gem! We were seated immediately, place is spacious and has many tables and beautifully decorated. Basically what I learned toward the end of the night was that everything was basically about family! I love it and I’ve never seen anything like that before. The owner Phil came and introduced himself and greeted us and welcomed us. That’s amazing and it gives a place more value that you’re greeted individually and asked to take a look at the bar and each picture and thing put in the restaurants has its meaning! You get a different vibe in the restaurant, It’s classy and beautifully decorated and has its own atmosphere. Then you go outside area which is not really outside it’s still inside but you get the bar area with Tv and so many different kinds of beers and drinks. It’s spacious with stool bars and tables. This place is just amazing Make sure you ask about a tour of the place and you’ll be introduced to things and why they were put and even the shirt design! Highly recommend! I think it’s beautiful and gives the restaurant so much value!! I can’t wait to be back! Introduce friends and family here. So I got their chicken chronicle and it was something else. Chicken was so tender and had tomato avocado but those are covered with cheese. So good!It looks big but it was sooooo tasty! I couldn’t stop eating it! My friend had their Bronzino and it was sooooo good too. I tried it and it was super delicious If it wasn’t too late I would have definitely had their dessert but that’s why there is next time Staff and owner are extremely friendly, they have various menu options to choose from. Plenty of drinks and dessert. It’s a really nice place if you have to be casual or dressed up. The classy area of the restaurant and the bar style outside is just a brilliant idea. Thank you Phil for a great night for introducing the place to us and explaining everything there. Will be back sooooon!

This place has karaoke!!! I came on a Thursday and it was so much fun! Great atmosphere and amazing people running the karaoke system! I was able to have a full dinner, yummy cocktails AND sing a BUNCH of songs!! They do it every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 7:30pm!!! Will definitely be back to sing! 😝

We have come to the lounge a few times before going to the theater but tonight we did dinner and it was lovely. Phil made me a smoked old fashioned too, which as you can see was amazing!

My Dad and I finally tried Phil’s for the first time tonight. We thoroughly enjoyed it. We sat in the bar/lounge in the back of the restaurant which was extremely cozy and had many TV’s with multiple games on. I ordered their manhattan cocktail and it was exquisite. The portion sizes are gigantic so we split the wedge salad and it was fantastic. I ordered the prime rib dip and it was delicious. The combo of the au jus and horseradish was delicious and the beef was thinly sliced and perfectly cooked. My Dad enjoyed the stroganoff, but thought it could have used egg noodles and the sauce perhaps a bit thicker. It was still very tasty and I highly recommend Phil’s overall. My only complaint is there are very few vegetarian or seafood dishes, since I have pescatarian family members.

Wow what a fantastic restaurant and bar. I cannot overstate what a great time we had here. First off the service was amazing. The staff was top notch and really made the evening enjoyable. We started the evening with the bacon wrapped shrimp which was fantastic. Then the spicy tater tots... a lot of restaurants just over cover the tots so there is no crunch...not at Phil's they came out perfect. Just the right amount of crunch while still getting just enough of the spicy sauce to taste it but not over power the tater tot. Finally as the last appetizer the Mac and Cheese.....now I have had Mac and cheese before and I like to think I make a pretty good Mac and Cheese....Phil's place has made me question my ability, and made my Mac and Cheese feel like it may as well have come from a box....it was hands down one of the best cheese sauces I have tried...not sure what the secret is but I would come back just for that.....the Entrees were just as good. We all shared a steak, the roasted chicken and the schnitzel. Each and every dish was spectacular. One of our group makes a darn good schnitzel and she is now crying that she can no longer make schnitzel after tasting the schnitzel at Phil's. I was thoroughly impressed and if you are in the area this new restaurant is a definite must try. Thanks Phil's you have really made a great first impression can't wait to try more of your menu!

HIDDEN GEM!!! Wow! This place is totally underrated! The food is to die for. The meatballs are so delicious. I had the Chicken Parmesan for my main entree. It could feed 4 people. Amazing!! And there is a full bar with so much going on. Last night was karaoke night

Had dinner for the first time at Phil's. Had a great dinner, Roasted 1/2 chicken was awesome; yet, the dessert - Apple Caramel Cobbler was unbelievable! Intimate setting, good drinks, bar at the rear was very cool, plenty of parking, plan to go back!

Ed Rigsbee

What a treasure. Located in the store front that was, for decades, T.O. Fish & Chips. Fine dining in the front. Bar for casual in the rear. Prices were very reasonable...and the food was delicious! Nightly specials are awesome. Friendly service...what's not to love about this place? I plan to return soon.

Recently opened, definitely a "try this". Went there for lunch. Got the Branzino (fish) with lemon caper sauce, and it was DELICIOUS! Also tried the lemon creme brulee for dessert. Great service (our server was very helpful, patient), small intimate setting. 2 hour parking in front, or 3 hr parking on the side street. Highly recommended!

I was expecting a let down because of the Karaoke and bar, but the bar is in back and doesn't effect the atmosphere of the dining room up front on T/O blvd. The servers were experienced and did a great job. The food was very good. I had the Steak and Fries and loved it. My wife had the French Dip sandwich and loved it too. Almost forgot...the Cesar Salad was one of the best I've had and they had lots of anchovies like it's supposed to. I can't wait to go back.

Great dinner, all the food is delicious! The "Schnitzel" is amazing. The onion rings and Caprese were great as well. The staff was very attentive, an excellent dinner choice!

Came on a Tuesday and had the best dinner here. What I didn’t realize though was they have Karaoke here on Tuesdays! The bar area was a really cool spot to hang out and watch the Karaoke going on! It’s a mother/daughter combo running the show. This is MUST to come check out, so fun!

My husband and I went to Phil's for the first time last weekend, and I can’t say enough about how much I love this place. The food and signature cocktails are amazing! They have a great happy hour, and the staff is so helpful and friendly. The atmosphere truly takes you back to the “good ol’ days!” Phil himself even delivered our food to us, he’s such a great owner. He made us feel like close family friends and even gave us a tour of the place after our meal. We’ll definitely be back and are excited to become their new “regulars.” :)

Look, I need you to understand that in the first place I don't want anyone to know about this place. This is the bar that thousand oaks deserves, and I don't want it to be overcome by everyone from tarantula Hill and sunset terrace. I'm writing this review because I legitimately appreciate what Phil and his wife have done for this town. I don't want you showing up. I don't want you being anywhere near for the food or the booze in any way. Phil's karaoke is not a time that you wish it was regardless of your generation. Don't show up here. Leave it to the OG's.

Found Phil’s online and thought we’d check it out after a show at the Canejo Players Theatre. Great place. Phil was a fun and gracious host. The food was terrific and although not inexpensive was a great value. Fresh, hot and with generous portions. Mark waited on us and he was terrific. Lot’s of fun, laughs and full bellies. Be sure to check out the back room and bar. We spent a lot of time just reading all the signs. We don’t live in the area but the next time we’re here, we’ll be sure to come back.

Fun, friends, and family all go hand-in-hand at Phil's. The food is wonderfully prepared and a taste treat. They expertly mix signature drinks like a smoked old fashioned, that you'll surely remember. Best of all, you feel welcomed and at home. Karaoke nights just add to the many things that make Phil's a unique and memorable dining experience.

This is a great place! A couple of southerners happened upon a local gem in Thousand Oaks. Food delicious! Service was great - thanks Z! Phil the owner made us feel so welcomed. This place is a must if you are in Thousand Oaks!

Dinner at Phil’s in Thousand Oaks was one of those meals where every box was checked. Service was on point from the start, and the pacing between courses gave us time to actually enjoy the evening instead of feeling rushed in and out. My salmon was fresh and cooked exactly right. My friend's steak and frite was just as solid. Sides were generous and came out hot. The atmosphere was comfortable. You can carry on a conversation without shouting across the table. Good lighting, relaxed vibe.. If you’re in Thousand Oaks and looking for a dependable spot for a date night or a business dinner, Phil’s is an easy call. Consistent food, professional staff, and an environment where you can settle in for a while without watching the clock.

We had such a wonderful experience at Phil’s! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a great meal. The service was outstanding from start to finish, and we even had the pleasure of meeting Phil himself—he was incredibly friendly and clearly passionate about his restaurant. The food was absolutely superb, full of flavor and beautifully prepared. Overall, we truly enjoyed every moment of our visit and will definitely be returning soon!

I have to say Phil’s makes the best roast chicken I have ever had in my life! SO GOOD! The portion sizes are big and great to share the appetisers, my husband and I had the Brussels sprouts and meatballs - both delicious! The only thing better than the food here is the service, we were made to feel so welcomed and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend anyone to stop by and try this place out, you won’t be disappointed.

Phil’s is a great place to meet a friend for lunch or a business meeting. Great wine and food selection. They’ve only been open for 3 months. I ordered the crispy Brussels- because if they’re on a menu, I’m ordering them! These were good but not great. A little too tangy and needed salt or another savory addition. My husband ordered the Buffalo Chicken sandwich and loved it. Went down easy and had great flavor. The ambiance is calm and relaxing. Across the street there’s a car wash, you can always drop your car to get washed and have a quick bite at Phils. Phil’s is also next door to Starbucks. Great little corner to stop at if you work in the area and need to eat.
