A seriously delicious local country diner up in Thousand Oaks. I drove up specifically for Bo’s from West LA and was happy that I made the trip. It’s in a lot sleepier part of town compared to where I am from so it was nice to have easy parking and no wait lines. They have a free parking lot out front and outback plus street parking so it will never be an issue finding a spot. Inside is quite small, but there are a lot of tables and the service is fast so I would guess that they turn quickly. Our server was very polite and everything that we ordered came out lightning fast. I also thought the coffee was particularly good and was especially strong. For our meal, we chose the California Omelette, which was terrific and was a very large sized portion as well as a Small Dutch Baby and a Belgian Waffle. The Dutch Baby was a bit smaller than I was expecting, but still great in flavor and the waffle was fantastic. Honestly, one of the best waffles I’ve had in a long time. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area and would put it on my list of great Valley diners.

Wow I have to say that was one of the best breakfast burritos I've had in a long time. I was getting tires next door, stop by for some breakfast , and got the house breakfast burrito, each ingredient was fresh and very tasty flavorful, but proportions were dead on, not too much of one thing, all from one end of the burrito to the other. Watching all the blue collar workers come in and grab food told me that I was in a place that I probably wasn't going to regret, I'll definitely drive out of my way to go over and pick up food again.

What a great spot! I stopped in for breakfast and had the California Omelette with beans. It was really good. The staff was very kind and service was fantastic and we loved the old school setting. Felt very small town and cozy. Definitely coming back!!

Basic breakfast spot that feels like a favorite local hangout but very disappointed experience here. Paying $21 before tip for 3 pancakes, 2 eggs and burnt coffee is too much to handle. Also clearing the table after I went to the bathroom and wasn’t finished with my coffee and water (had put napkins on top of them) is a major red flag. Cannot recommend but understand if it has its admirers and hope it improves its service.

The food took a long time to come out which was very surprising considering everything I requested, I did not get. The coffee was very watery and didn't really even taste very much like coffee. Also over medium eggs were under cooked and watery and the hash browns and bacon were not well done as asked. The hash browns mostly were undercooked and very oily and the bacon was definitely not crispy. I don't mind waiting a few extra minutes if our food would be done properly. Also paying almost $50 for poorly made food just doesn't work for us. Fortunately, we have regular places we go to for breakfast that have great food. Hopefully they make sure to do better for others.

This was my first time trying Bo's and everything we tried was good. We ordered the Waffle Chicken, Eggs Benedict, Country style Benedict, and the Sweet Cream Latte. Sadly, the waffle was still a little doughy in the middle. Otherwise, the edges were very crispy. It did feel like the food took a bit long to come out even though the place was pretty slow. Overall, I liked the experience and the food.

came in on a rainy saturday morning with my girlfriend to have breakfast. we wanted to try a different spot than our usual go-to’s and found this place, which looked pretty good! we were sat very quickly and our drink orders were taken and arrived shortly afterward. they have a pretty big menu and everything looked delicious and prices are very reasonable. i landed on their biscuits and gravy as well as some fruit and your usual breakfast items (eggs, sausage etc) and my partner had the denver scramble with potatoes and toast. my single & only complaint is that it did take awhile for food to arrive to the table, especially when it didn’t seem like they were too busy. nonetheless we both thought our respective dishes were delicious, and we will absolutely be returning to try the waffles, crepes as well as the chilaquiles and other mexican items they offer up.

My husband and found this little gem running errands one weekday in TO. We've been here twice and they have not failed us yet . It's really small place and you'll miss it if you're not looking for it . We've always sat ourselves in the room to the left . I remember last time we were there their AC was cranking cold so you might need a sweater . My husband's had over easy eggs and I'm partial to their chicken and waffles breakfast . Highly recommend this gem in TO

Napolalitos a la Mexicana and chorizo & eggs were SO YUM!!! Their hash browns were perfectly crispy, the food was perfectly fresh, the coffee was perfectly bitter! Love this place and hope they are able to enjoy another 64 years of business! Alexa cue up Travelin Soldier by the Chicks

Hubby and I came here to try after church. Parking is not the best situation but we were able to find parking. Beware the parking in front of of the restaurant is very limited. We were seated right away. A good amount of people enjoying their breakfast. Service was quick and attentive throughout our meal. The place is an old diner vibe but clean. I ordered the Denver Scramble with sausage and wheat toast. My husband ordered the house breakfast with corned beef. Big breakfast. He thought the meal was average but did eat the entire plate with adding lots of tapatio. My omelette was good but lacked flavor so I had to sprinkle some salt since I am not a fan of tobasco sauce or tapatio. We left content but it would not be a place we would visit again. There was no wow factor on our meals but it was good solid food.

Bo, Bo, Bo.... What an INCREDIBLE story!! And for those of you who don't know the backstory, let me paraphrase it for you: Bo's House of Omelettes & Waffles previously known as Harold's House of Omelettes opened way back in 1961. Harold's was here before the City of Thousand Oaks was Incorporated & was even here right on the Boulevard before it was known as it is now... Thousand Oaks Blvd. Fast forward to 2021, 60 years or 10 decades later of serving breakfast and lunch to the locals, passerby's and those who wanted to eat at an establishment that was literally apart of the cities deep history... The old saying "All Good Things Come to an End" Presented itself and Harold's announced it would be closing its doors on May 14th 2021. Well, don't fret... A Happy Ending is coming! Because this story is far from over!!! In fact, it was just a new chapter which continued with ALL (except Harold) of the same "characters" aka (the same cooks, staff, servers & managers with one minor detail... Bo, the new "main character" would be the at the forefront of this new story. The backstory on Bo Bo, who himself was a regular customer of Harold's in the early 2,000's, once even took over Harold's to host his family after his Mothers funeral. He recalls how Harold's staff allowed him and his family to take over the establishment and celebrate his Mother's life well after they were closed for the day. Years later, Bo, like the rest of the close-knit community of Thousand Oaks and the surrounding Conejo Valley had heard Harold's would be closing its doors. Well remember earlier when I mentioned a Happy Ending was coming? The Happy Ending Bo, a once customer, decided to take over the former Harold's House of Omelettes and make it Bo's House of Omelettes & Waffles. Not only would he keep all of the staff that was already in place, but he would also maintain the secret omelette recipe that had been used since 1961! Shhhh!! It's a secret!! And all of this transition was done in a 2 week period in which Bo's officially opened on May 29th 2021. 4 years since Bo stepped in as the saving grace, the House of Omelettes & Waffles continues to serve up a mean breakfast/lunch and the legacy of its former owner, Harold continues on. My Experience at BHofO&W While getting some new tires at the Tire Man next door, my daughters & I had a little time to kill so we decided to grab some breakfast while we waited. Being a resident of Thousand Oaks for 28 years now, you think I would have tried ALL of the restaurants in town, but surprisingly even though I had passed by the previous Harold's, now Bo's restaurant many, many, many times over the years and even heard great things about it, I just never made it here. Well on May 15th 2025, 4 years and a day since Harold's last day, I FINALLY made it to Bo's House of Omelettes & Waffles!!! The place is cozy and we were greeted with open arms. After perusing the menu and me deciding to try something different than my normal breakfast go-to (usually corned beef hash), I went with their Huevos Rancheros, and let me tell you... I ate every last bite! As for the kids, they split some pancakes, eggs and bacon and they were equally satisfied. The menu does have a dedicated section to 'Mexican Delicacies' which I will definitely be honing into next time we come through for lunch. And of course, now that I know a little bit more about this place, you know I'm 100% coming back to try their secret Omelette Recipe for breakfast. To my Thousand Oaks Natives, Newbies and everyone in between, if you haven't given this place any love....don't wait 28 years like I did. If you have and you love it, Rock On!! To Bo, Harold, and the staff past and present... Keep on telling your story through your food.

Always great food and great service. The omelets are an absolute hit! Perfect for breakfast or lunch.

Aside from the lack of the character of a classic diner, this is your quintessential breakfast joint. Service was efficient and attentive. Food portions were generous and well executed. Looks good for groups.

On a rare weekday off for my wife, we decided to try Bo's House of Omelettes & Waffles. We had been YEARS ago when it was Harold's House of Omelettes what had been around since 1961, but hadn't returned since it became Bo's. We had a great time! The food was good, staff was friendly and we really enjoyed ourselves. If you'll looking for a breakfast place in Thousand Oaks... especially one with some history... try out Bo's!

Overpriced. Would not call what I got an omelette at all. The "House Omelette" was a pile of flavorless steamed diced sausage chunks, bacon, diced ham and potato shavings in a puddle of hot water topped by an equally flavorless yellow egg frisbee. My father got bacon eggs and potato shavings. Add two cups of coffee and one glass of orange juice - $50. Absurd. An insult to breakfast. Never again.

Tough call. The people are great. Friendly. Attentive. Ahead of the game for coffee refills. Food was meh. Ordered the Custom Omelette (1 meat plus 3 items): Bacon, mushroom, spinach, Swiss. Had the hash browns, extra crispy. The way omelettes are done here is that the additions are cooked and placed on the plate, and then the fluffy eggs are placed on top. So really an omelette variation - but this is how it has always been done. And that's actually how the hash browns were taken care of, too: center of the plate, other items on top, then the eggs. So the hash browns were not as crispy because they became moistened by the steam. The spinach wasn't fresh. Was the equivalent of a package of Green Giant frozen. Small, chopped. And had the same bad taste. Nothing like sautéing fresh baby spinach. I'd be surprised if the mushrooms were fresh - their look reminded me of the canned ones from when I was a kid. But they weren't awful. Swiss cheese was delicious, as were the eggs. Nice and fluffy. But the spinach ruined it. For the $20 price I had expected fresh everything. I'm also assuming I could've asked for the hash browns to be on a side plate if I had known what they were going to do. Side of English Muffins was good.

Love this place. The food is fresh and good. Service is excellent. If you want something that's not in the menu they'll try to make it.

I used to dine this establishment years back when it was Harold's and loved it. I'm happy that Bo's House of Omelettes and Waffles took over. They offer a nice variety of items on the menu to satisfy various pallets. The Good: The prices are very reasonable and the restaurant can accommodate a large party, if needed. The food is pretty tasty and the portions are filling (you may end up packing a To-Go bag). The Bad: Parking can be hard to find, especially if you have a large group of cars in your party. With a large party, it can be pretty tight. Also, the only dish I wasn't pleased with was the chicken waffle because it's only flat strips of chicken rather than the big pieces fried chicken other places offer. I would come back and dine again, but not sure it would be my first choice.

Food was amazing the service was great , the best was the millionaire. bacon ,I had the flautas carne asada was was all the food was fresh ambiance very calm and quiet

YUMMM!!! Excellent and kind servers. My favorites are the chili rellenos and the juevos rancheros.

#1 breakfast spot in the area 10 stars The food is what keeps us coming back weekly The staff is always so friendly and accommodating. The ambiance is typical breakfast diner decor.

The service was prompt and courteous. The waiter gave us fantastic recommendations. I had the Chilaquiles with Carne Asada and my husband had Tue country style Benedict's. Food was delicious all around, if you like a little kick the sauce on the chilaquiles was delicious! Orange juice was fresh squeezed. It felt like I was eating breakfast at grandmas house! Will definitely come back and recommend you give them a try!

Food was excellent but $4 for a cup of coffee is steep......you do, however, get a ton of food for the price.

Huge selection of interesting omelettes. Portion size was large, service was great and everything tasted delicious. Would definitely come back again.

The millionaire waffle was delicious! The Belgian waffle was big and soft on the inside but crunchy on the outside. The bacon was sweet and had a little bit of a kick to it. It was excellent! I enjoyed my brunch there.

The staff are nice and friendly. Love the food. Exactly what I ordered for pick up. Went twice for breakfast this month. Update: we've been going back in the area for quite some time now, and every week this is our go-to breakfast, and it never fails.

The atmosphere was clean, charming, and laid-back, giving off a classic old-school diner feel. There were two dining areas, along with outdoor seating for pairs. The service was warm and attentive--no complaints there. The food was excellent, with the carne asada chilaquiles being the clear standout over the huevos rancheros. You can choose from green, red, or habanero sauce and add a protein of your choice. The dish also came with flavorful homemade refried beans. Based on other reviews, the Mexican dishes seem to be the highlight here.

Nice little diner feel. Lots of Mexican style choices. I had chorizo omelette and million dollar bacon. That bacon was amazing- sweet and salty. Chorizo was really good, but the hash browns were hiding under the omlette, so if you're a tater person, you may need more. Service was great. Front parking lot is odd, but there is street parking.

We went hear for breakfast for the first since since going gear frequently when it was was Harold's House of Omelets. Pretty much the same decor, layout with new upholstered booths that were always cramped and still are. Seat yourself, make waiters not friendly, one water glass chipped edge and paper napkin stains, no apology. Two waffles, two strips of bacon, 2 ice teas priced out with fair tip at $45. The waffle and bacon were good but the value lacking.

We really liked this old fashioned diner..Was a great experience for my wife and I! ... PERSONALLY the BEST chicken fried steak I've had so far! Great service from George, our host... struck up a good conversation with him. We'll be back.

Excellent service. Excellent food. Crepes are soft and tasty.. jam was good, not too sweet..."best waffle i ever had.." was the comment of the table! It was light and crispy and made you want more!

Many here many times, had many of their omelettes, pancakes, street Taco and tortas. First time trying the Bo breakfast sandwich with the million dollar bacon added in, WOW! I felt each bite was a kiss of yumminess! It has grilled onion, the melting cheese, spice of the bacon, and the sweet brioche bun, man it was good. Very filling, I had to take half of it home. Great cold the next day. Love this diner and so glad we have this in town. Employees are attentive, attractive and friendly. The facilities are clean. Parking in the front and rear.

The Crepes were horrible. Spongey, thick, and the fruit was hot and super sour. The eggs were fine. The portion sizes are big, but everything tasted off. The service was good. It was dirty inside and felt cramped inside.

By far one of my favorite breakfast spots! I'm not huge on having a big breakfast but this place has a great selection of breakfast plates. The French toast was very tasty and hubby's chilaquiles with carnitas were bomb! This isn't a fancy updated establishment but, they do make up with cleanliness and fantastic customer service. It's a pretty calm ambiance here and I feel prices were fair. So, when we are in the area we will definitely stop by to enjoy some good breakfast here!

Hungry? Looking for breakfast that is hooked up, great tasting and has excellent customer service, all for a decent price? Well Bo's is the place. This is not close to me but I'm glad my Wife found this on Yelp because she knows I love breakfast. There was plenty of free street parking right in front. We walked in on a Sunday morning and were seated right away. I ordered the chilaquiles with Carnitas and 3 eggs and beans. This plate is hooked up and delicious. I also had to try the Bo's bacon and this did not disappoint. Orange Juice was fresh squeezed. Decor was a lil outdated but I was there for the food not the decor so this did not faze me one bit. Customer service was excellent. If I lived closer I would be here more often but since I don't I will recommend to my friends, family and fellow Yelpers!

Good service, good food, and good everything. Yea the place may look outdated but it is a good thing imo. Keep it local and keep those snotty people out.

I liked it... The decor hasn't changed since the name / owner changed hands but the restaurant still has that old school charm / feel to it. Not a lot of good breakfast restaurant choices around this part of town. Parking is free in the lot or on the street. Service is always good. Staff is normally friendly. A lot of regulars come here but first timers as well. Now to the food. It was good. My meal was solid. Everything was hot and fresh. Omelet was on the big side. Definitely give this place a try for a hearty breakfast! Enjoy!

For a house of waffles, their waffle was honestly mid. Very crunchy & hollow, definitely get one with toppings because I could see how it could be a bit boring without. Ambiance was ok, grandma diner-y. Service was good though! Nothing to say there. Not sure I would come back.

I've been here several times on my lunch break as someone who works early mornings (break time usually around 7) and they consistently open the doors 15-20 minutes late. They have substantial staffing problems and for a middle of the road breakfast, there are far better places to eat in town that respect their customers time.

This place sells one-of-kind omelettes. Basically, the gimmick is that they are layered: hash browns, fillings, cheese, and egg (from bottom to top). This alone is reason to visit this restaurant. The service was nice, maybe a tad slow, but I believe that's likely due to the freshness of their food. The interior was rustic yet welcoming, like old-diner vibes. The only thing I would not recommend is buying the iced coffee which tasted horrible and wasn't worth it for $4.

Service: Not the best. Perhaps maybe a little bit more training or a better system. We were seated, then took 13minutes for the server to help us. When the server finally helped us with the order She never came back. We asked one of the guys for our check and no one came back after that. So I got up and went to the register to pay and they can't say it was busy because the restaurant was empty by the time I walked to the counter. Then We were told she had left for the day.

Know for their great breakfast, they also serve great Mexican food and I was very happy with the cheese burger .

I adore this restaurant! The ambiance is very relaxed and the customer service is top-of-the-line. My food always comes out super hot and fresh! Please take the opportunity to visit and support this small business Unfortunately, I live too far or I would be here every single day.

Our Party of 8 for brunch left this place very happy and satisfied. It's a cozy and tight-spaced hole-in-the-wall cafe that has quite a vintage 70s feel to it. Most often times for me when food, service, and ambiance are good, you don't really care about the decor. Great service! The waiters are quick and eager to serve. They were really good and kind. I personally had the carnitas omelet, and the green sauce they spilled over the omelet made my eyes lit up. It was delicious! As you can tell, for the price you are paying, the portions are quite generous. You can expect to pay at least $15-20 a person, which is pretty typical nowadays with inflation. You can also expect a line if you don't get their early enough before the Sunday brunch rush but definitely a great place to go for a decent breakfast!

Love the quietness of weekday mornings here. Calming music and really good food. Savory and sweet tastes. Our waiters were very attentive. I give the chilaquiles with chicken and sunny side up a 5 star rating!!!

The omelettes are consistently amazing. They're made in a bit of a different style that keeps the fillings warmer throughout the meal.

Great breakfast! Very generous omelette that's definitely shareable. Coffee, however, is weak. Service is very amiable and attentive. It's not the fanciest place with its old timey decor but that suits us.

All staff are friendly and kind. Food came out quickly and large selection of food options. My children eat their food which says a lot. (Toddlers) nice quiet environment. Kind customers. (One paid for our meal)

Great food and service! The omelet was so yummy and the Bo's bacon was great ! We have found our new breakfast place!

They really care about their quality. Fluffiest and tastiest pancakes I have ever tasted, best Huevos Rancheros because of the freshness and the attention to health, and best vegeterain omelet which was extra fluffy, tasty and fresh. Service is so friendly. I will return with family for Tuesday Taco and more breakfast. It is now a go-to for us.

Had a really good breakfast here. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The giant waffles and omelettes are not to be missed.

We needed to go to Thousand Oaks when we found ourselves hungry and looking for a place to eat. We googled Bo's house of Omelettes. We drove right past it. Street signage is hard to find on Thousand Oaks Blvd. but we finally found the place. It's a quaint breakfast and lunch diner. Extensive menu. Really good food. I had the bacon and cheese omelette and my table mate ordered a Monte Cristo. We both loved the food. Elizabeth, our server was courteous and helpful. The place was packed when we arrived. Prices are fair and parking is kind of easy. Small lot plus limited street parking. Give this place a try. It's been around for a while.

Hidden gem! Small place with big plates. Great food and excellent service!! Coming back for sure.

I really like the food here. I see a lot of mixed reviews complaining about the prices but this is Thousand Oaks and for breakfast this is right on par for what's around. The quality is always good and the food is tasty. The place is a little small and getting a table can be hard on the weekends but it's a great little spot.

I noticed someone else's review just as was about to write this, and I have to point out that the calming music certainly wasn't my experience today. They must have had the tuner set to some Outlaw Country, and my mom and I were treated to some phony southern drawl repeatedly saying F.U.. And not at a low volume either. The staff is always pleasant, but I have yet to find something here that I must eat. It's also pretty expensive. I only go when my mom wants to go.
