Phil’s - Thousand Oaks (CA)

5 /5 Scott Silver: 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.

5 /5 gk chef: 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 Phils 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....Phils 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 Phils. I was thoroughly impressed and if you are in the area this new restaurant is a definite must try. Thanks Phils you have really made a great first impression cant wait to try more of your menu!

5 /5 Alan Tiras: 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.

5 /5 Dennis Stone: Look, I need you to understand that in the first place I dont want anyone to know about this place. This is the bar that thousand oaks deserves, and I dont want it to be overcome by everyone from tarantula Hill and sunset terrace. Im writing this review because I legitimately appreciate what Phil and his wife have done for this town. I dont want you showing up. I dont want you being anywhere near for the food or the booze in any way. Phils karaoke is not a time that you wish it was regardless of your generation. Dont show up here. Leave it to the OGs.

5 /5 Jonathan P.: Fun, friends, and family all go hand-in-hand at Phils. The food is wonderfully prepared and a taste treat. They expertly mix signature drinks like a smoked old fashioned, that youll surely remember. Best of all, you feel welcomed and at home. Karaoke nights just add to the many things that make Phils a unique and memorable dining experience.
