820 N. Ventura Ave

Ojai Valley, CA

Tel. 805/649-9903

This stick-to-your-ribs joint on the road between Ojai and Ventura is worth building up an appetite for. The rust-colored shack doesn't have much going for it -- just some gingham curtains, a few tables indoors and out, and stacks of wood for firing up the barbecue -- but generous portions of slowly oak-smoked meats will have dedicated carnivores coming back for more. Barbecue tri-tip brisket, ham, pork, Cajun sausage, and chicken -- they're all served up in sandwiches or full dinners, with available sides of coleslaw, potato salad, fries, baked beans, and corn on the cob.
