I'm a local and have been through the various Deer Lodge transformations. The biker version was better than whatever this is. First of all, it's filthy. There must be 15 people working (actually eating, drinking, ignoring). Do they train them to be rude and classless at every restaurant they own? We sat for 20 minutes at our table. No service, but "we close in 10 minutes." I wish I could be a bar and restaurant owner that could lose this kind of $$!

Nachos were great as usual! Female bartender was a bit awkward, quiet, not very welcoming, not rude but seemed like she was new maybe?

I felt they put some love into it...all except for the Calamari was like...well no comment and the ginger lemonade needed some ginger...

Waited for fifteen minutes at the front to be seated and no one came or even acknowledged us. Made eye contact with an employee several times who just ignored us. There was only one other group of people there and they weren’t busy. I called to let them know we were in their restaurant and waiting to be seated and they were rude and dismissive. We went somewhere else, every where was busy today except there, and I think we learned why.

The 3.5 stars are too much for this restaurant, if we can even call it that. This is the worst place to eat in the entire Ojai, sadly. It used to be a nice joint for restful mid-day meal and a nice local music venue at night with good cocktails. Old glory slowly dissipating! During our last visit in February 2024 my family was greatly disappointed of both food and service. The two waitress serving the main room on a Saturday night were like two angry grizzly bears. The steak ($27 / portion) was cold, the fries were yesterday's; not a joke. All other food was mediocre at best. Very sad, but this place has gone down big time!

Deer lodge is a must visit. The best part is the ambiance. Off the beaten path, it is a cozy lodge feel that allows for some relaxation and fun. Both indoor and outdoor seating is great. The bbq and tri tip nachos are the best items on the menu with everything else being pretty good. The service has been good the few times I have been there. Stick to the bbq on the menu and go for some relaxation, music, and beers. Very charming

This used to be a bikerBar and they do have great burgers and beer selection but now they also have a nice evening menu, and they do have entertainment on a regular basis. Mostly I think on Saturday and Friday. Very cozy, log cabin feel.

Delicious food, great service and love the old lodge feel. The pulled pork sandwich was packed with flavor and the tri tip was cooked to perfection. The beer selection was on point! I will definitely go back to try the rest of the menu!Vegetarian options: There's salad and dishes you could have without the meat option.

Food was good and the patio was a great place to bring our dogs. Beautiful mountain scenery.

Great little bar Cafe, oldest in Ojai. Lots of friendly bikers and some snooty tourists.

Rustic Bar and restraunt. Our waitress was amazing and the food was very good. We attended a concert and the sound quality was also amazing. I took stars off because when we got up from our table they cleared it halfway through our meal. Also, several of the drink options were not available, although they were listed. It's worth noting the concert was slightly over sold and very crowded but all in all I'd recommend the place.

The food was overpriced and mediocre at best. Service was amazing, but you're paying for the atmosphere.
