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).
Michael R sent over this photo of the new Magma Modern Italian Pizzeria that recently opened in the former home of Brick Oven Pizza in the Moorpark Marketplace, 888 New Los Angeles Avenue in neighboring Moorpark. They are offering 20% off for dine in and takeout only right now as part of their soft opening during the month of February. See their menu at www.pizzeriamagma.restaurant/menu.
UPDATE: A Tea Thing opened in early March.
