The Strandwich

If I could give this amazing little treasure 6 stars I would! First of all, the deliciousness starts with a huge sandwich menu that has something for everyone. Next the customer service is stellar. We called first and Rick was so friendly, even at an busy breakfast hour. Third, it’s a charming local culture atmosphere with historic Silverstrand photos and artwork, from beach scenes to custom car pics and aerial views of The Strand. A very clean place with efficient use of a small space. Indoor and outdoor tables. Parking is across the street, but you can call in orders and pick up. But, perhaps, most impressive is owner, Madison, has led the category in using tallow as the frying oil, so we can devour our breakfast burrito and brisket croissant without heartburn and inflammation. It doesn’t get better than healthful, delicious ingredients, vast choice, smoked meats on-site, and excellent service! Why would we go anywhere else for breakfast or lunch and have to exclude 90% of a menu to avoid dreaded seed and “vegetable” oils, when we can enjoy everything The Strandwich has to offer! Thank you.

I was craving a Pastrami sandwich this morning. I googled, came across this place. I drove from Ventura beach, not far. Met Madison, sweetheart. Sandwich was delish😋

Cool little restaurant right near the beach, walking distance from our AirBnB. Ordered the Loco Moco, hamburger patty was good as was gravy, rice, and eggs. Didn't care for the macaroni salad. Coworkers Biscuits and Gravy were good. Coworker's Brisket Breakfast Plate was also good. Vietnamese Coffee was amazing! Cool vibe. Owner/ Manager was very meh, didn't seem interested in talking.

If you’re in the area then this is a must try spot. The service is not the greatest but the food is pretty good.

Great pastrami sandwich. Pastrami is cut thick and is very tender. Tried the Chicken Club as well. Chicken was fried perfectly, and chicken was moist and tender

The Strandwich is a must try if you are in the area. Only here for a day and I was recommended by friends to try the brisket breakfast burrito. It. Was. Fantastic! The brisket was delicious and paired amazing with the rest of the burrito. Plenty of other options on their menu that I’ll just have to try next time I’m out here.

First time, NOT the last time. Great brisket sandwich, slightly customized. Rick is friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and overall great. See you all again soon!

Quaint, very easy to miss if you don't know what's out there yet. The reviews have it right, the breakfast burrito hits hard and the French toast sticks are light, fluffy, and delicious. Well worth the wait if there is only one person making all the food!

Gyro Mania. Great service and atmosphere. Cant beet the Smells. want to try Everthing

Cute little place in a residential neighborhood walking distance to the beach. I love the sign that says open 7a - 2ish. Very friendly, welcoming staff and owner. Great menu with lots of selections. I got a breakfast burrito with bacon. It's $13+tax. I also got a coffee. The burrito is huge and so I immediately cut it in half to take half home. I should have taken a pic before I cut and ate part of it, but at least now you can see the inside. It was quite tasty. Admittedly, I've had better, but this was super yummy regardless and definitely not greasy like so many others I've tried. That's a bonus! I also had a coffee. It's a Vietnamese blend. I couldn't quite place what was in it. My first thought was cocoa; truly, I have no clue, but it was good. I only wish they would have had Stevia or something similar. I ended up with sugar. But, upon drinking, I'm thinking it would have been good with no sweetener. I noticed a high chair and pack n play in the small dining area. The owner said it's available for customer use! Last bonus, I was able to dine indoors with my little dog

This past July 4th I made it a mission to finally go to this place albeit quite an interesting path to get here. You follow Victoria all the way literally till it ends and then you have to turn a bit to the left. Initial confusion subsided cause there is the strand shop and the Strandwich which is right behind it. It's a very small place with a few tables inside and a few picnic style tables outside. When I went inside to order if you have a line of two or three people it will be either spilling to the dining room or you have to hold the door open it's literally that small. I am immediately saw an amazing looking hunk of dry rubbed cooked meat in the kitchen and ordered a tri-tip sandwich for breakfast. Paid my $18 and after about 15 minutes got my sandwich. As pictured the sandwich not only looked phenomenal but tasted delicious as well and would easily be one of my top 10 sandwiches of all time if not for one thing that keeps haunting me and seems to follow me wherever I go to eat meat sandwiches and that is.. drum roll.. the meat had to be spit out and picked apart over and over again from the fatty unchewable lumps, stringed fat and sinew. Really too bad because the meat is cooked and seasoned perfectly with charred bits. It was a sensational tasting sandwich with the horseradish aioli. I added my own touch by adding lettuce tomatoes and pickles; came out to be quite an epic sandwich but again all ruined by spitting out pretty much every single piece of meat that I put in my mouth and having to remove a bunch of fat and separate the meat to enjoy eating about half of it. I just for the life of me cannot understand why these meats aren't properly cut to not include these fatty parts; it's not that difficult and would gladly wait for this to be done. Really bummed. The other items look pretty good but wont dare touch the pastrami would probably have the same problem if not worse. But their breakfast sandwiches and other items looked really appealing. It is a very cute and quaint area inside and I'm pretty sure the other stuff would taste great. Will be back to try the other items but unfortunately I cannot eat this sandwich again. Big bonus opening up early time. 3.5 Stars rounding up to 4.

Delicious tri tip sandwich I declined the sides just wanted to try the food never been here before. Staff is friendly and patient. The ambiance is great nardcore vibes for sure! Indoor outdoor seating with a nice clean restroom aswell! definitely will return again

I had the morning munchies and needed to get off the base for some real breakfast. Found this place on Yelp and it turns out that it's the old Big Daddio's Tri Tip sandwich place I used to go to. Food: The menu was very interesting because there were items that included bbq meats, which isn't common here on the west coast. But it is in my home state of Oklahoma. I ordered the brisket breakfast sando and it was pretty good. My first thought when I saw it was that it was huge and was going to fall apart with all of the brisket in there. But it held together and wasn't too messy. The cheese is what really helps hold the sandwich meat and eggs together. The brisket was fresh, warm, and had a little bit of smoke. Service: The gentleman that my order was friendly and efficient. He also let me and all other customers know that each order takes about 8-10 minutes, so make yourselves at home in their seating area. Ambiance: Walking back into the old Big Daddio's BBQ brought back so many memories of my lunch breaks when I was new hire on the base back in 2003. I can't believe how modern and clean the facility was compared to back then. There is very cool art to appreciate while you wait for you orders. This is definitely a cool and chill spot to have breakfast or lunch. I will return to try out their lunch menu.

Four stars for no ice. We bought bottles of water, but I like my ice, and if you don't have ice, you lose a star. This is a small, quaint place. That's probably why you can't have ice. But how do they make their smoothies? Prices are very good. Young man taking our order was helpful & pleasant. Food was cooked to order. For drinks, Pepsi products are sold, Crystal Geyser bottled water, and fresh smoothies. Our food was delivered to our table outside by our cashier! Nice. All of us 5 adults & 2 chlden enjoyed our food: burgers, cheeseburgers, pork sandwich, bunless brisket, basket of fries, esquite (corn on top of fries). The smoothie was excellent. We sat outside & the weather was beautiful. We will definitely be back. And I'll bring my own iced water.

It's a small family run place. They put their hearts into everything they make. I love all their sandwiches, with tritip as my favorite. Service can be slow when it gets busy, but I guess that can be excused for fresh cooked food as you order.

Got this for breakfast this morning, the customer service was good, he was very friendly and patient with us as we looked through the menu. They have a variety of options for different meats you can get with your breakfast sando! I chose the Brisket option and it did not disappoint, it was filled with a sweet bbq flavoring in which was amazing. My boyfriend grabbed a breakfast burrito with the sausage option. We also picked up a biscuit with gravy and i'm so glad we did because this has to be one of the best ones i've had so far. It was so rich in flavor and creamy, the biscuit was very fluffy and was easy to tear apart. Although we just grabbed from the breakfast menu they do as well have a lunch menu! They have a unique sitting area for guests, they have a table with free "fanzines" as well for you to grab and look at which I thought was cool. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a meal that will fill you up.

Fun to have a local place to grab a quick bite. Homemade and delicious. We love their biscuits and gravy.

This place is delicious! I ordered the breakfast burrito and wow it did not disappoint! I will be back soon.

The bbq and breakfast is absolutely amazing. Definitely will be stopping here every day until we leave. The customer service and vibe is super chill love the ambiance. Definitely worth every penny and will be eating here when we come back.

It is the go to breakfast burrito place for us when we're at the Strand. This has been several places over the years and were happy when it reopened as The Strandwich!

Absolutely delicious. The brisket breakfast burrito was so good. It was a very flavorful burrito, every component was well seasoned. This is definitely my new breakfast burrito spot.

There was a dog in the kitchen hanging out.. not sure if he's part of the company, but it wasn't too pleasant seeing it around my food and behind the kitchen area. The employee working cashier, was not as welcoming either. First time here, and probably my last., I hate to say it but I did not enjoy my breakfast burrito.

The Strandwich is awesome! The brisket sandwich is the best and I'm a BBQ snob from KC! Hamburgers are delicious and everything else I've ever had there is quality and tasty. Chef Tommy smokes his own meats and takes great care to make sure his customers are delighted. He loves cooking, his customers, and his community. Great family owned and operated place that never fails to satisfy my BBQ cravings. Yes, sometimes it takes a few minutes to get your food, but quality takes time, and it's not a fast food restaurant. They make things to order and it's worth the wait. Make it your next stop!

I had a brisket hoagie very good and the atmosphere is great friendly service close by the beach!

I go in for a to go order. And that to go order is always freaking amazing. Last time was a breakfast burrito with a side of hashbrowns. OMG it took me to heaven and back! Could not recommend this place more.

Good Food Love the daily board Gourmet specials And the kindness of refills on the excellent coffee they serve.

You can't get more "local" than this place and can't beat the food here! The roast turkey sandwich is outstanding and they roast their own bird! Today I had the brisket breakfast burrito and the flavors were amazing! Brisket, tater tots, scrambled eggs, avocado and a sauce that is out of this world. It was so big I had part for breakfast and snacked on it the rest of the day. You can sit inside or outside. I always recommend it when people ask me where to eat here.

Best breakfast burrito you will ever eat! So yummy! They have a large variety of breakfast and lunch options. The service is always excellent and they always answer when we call right away. Will be coming here for years as we both love it and are locals. They also have a local discount which is so nice for the community.

This place screams hangover food in the best way possible -- loaded fries, fried Brussels sprouts, huge "strandwiches", breakfast burritos/sandwiches, and more. It is the perfect place to go when you are craving something a bit greasy and totally mouth-watering. The interior space is limited to a few tables, but there are also some picnic tables out front. Seems like a great grab-and-go spot. Very local feel.

The food was very tasty and reasonable priced but I didn't like the big chunks of fat in my tri tip sandwich. Both sandwiches, fries and Brussel sprouts were delicious but I was struggling with cutting the pieces of meat & fat off my sandwich

Came here after kayaking for an hour. This place is in the location Daddy-o's BBQ used to be ( I don't know if y got the spelling right). I asked my go to question. What do you recommend?: The Brisket Sandwich is popular... I order it and a guava nectar. It comes out hot. I wait for it too cool down. Finally I begin eating, taking in the flavor. Briskest is topped off with sauce and on a buttered roll. It isn't dry. I get a little bit of fat but it melts in my mouth and then suddenly... I'm pleasantly surprised with a little bit of bark... well seasoned and just brings this whole experience of good vibes home. You all keep what you're doing.

The food is delish!! Fast and friendly service with a great beach vibe. We had the Vaquero, poutine fries, pastrami sandwich and everything tasted amazing!! Appreciate the local love !

I'll make it simple and straight to the point. This place was amazing. Food was absolutely fabulous. So good that Keith Lee should be contacted to come and try this place out! I got the Tri-Tip sandwich (cheesesteak style) with fries. No kidding when I say it's the best sandwich I have ever had. Dalton was the cook that helped me and was super cool. The food was so great I had lunch there multiple days in a row. Unfortunately, I don't live in the area but if I did I'd seriously be here once a week minimum. Not to mention the prices aren't bad for how large the portions are! I will attach a photo of my food. The vibes in the restaurant are super cool, it has a rock/sort of Hawaiian theme to it and it's clean. Nevertheless, next time I'm in oxnard I'm definitely making the extra drive to eat here. Thanks guys!

We were only in town for a couple days but the food was so good that we ordered twice within 48 hours! The staff was friendly and the tiny interior was interesting enough that I regretted that I couldn't enjoy a meal inside. There's always next time!

Tried their breakfast burrito and it was absolutely insane. Will come here as long as I live close!!!

Strandwhich is amazing. Anyone who has taste needs to get here! Perfect location and good service. The sandwhiches are absolutely phenomenal and everything is made from scratch! The vibe is chill as heck! Come here with friends.

The tri tip sandwich was so good that I came back the next day for the breakfast burrito. The grilled cheese sandwich is extra cheesy if you love cheese and the brussel sprouts appetizer was tasty with a nice aioli dipping sauce. Service is great and nice menu selection. There's indoor seating and outdoor tables perfect for the pups.

Hands down one of the best breakfast burritos I've had at 52 and my buddy says the same. We split the brisket and tri-tip and neither disappointed. I'll be jonesing this place until the next surf. Plus it's a tribute to Nardcore I grew up with even have my buddy Dan Sites artwork on the wall. Overall score 10/10

Came here for takeout breakfast burritos. This spot did not disappoint. Friendly service. I ordered one burrito without meat and one with bacon. Next time my husband and I will just share one because they are truly massive in size. Both were delicious. Next time I'd like to try one with brisket.

Prices!!! Whoa. But I guess that is everywhere. Great small place. You can drive right by it and not notice it. Food is always great here. I've had several sandwiches, most recently the brisket sandwich. I prefer the brisket breakfast sandwich on a croissant over the lunch one. Good smoke taste. The egg and cheese hit right. The lunch brisket has bbq sauce. while it was good, lacked more flavor or imagination. plan for a wait. usually 10 to 15 minutes if you order at the place. Luckily there is a putting green, I brought my clubs and played a bit. they also had the corn hole boards out. Great place for a weekend beach bike ride and stop for food.

The food takes forever; however, it's definitely worth the wait. I'd gladly sit around for 20-30 minutes to get a mouthful of that delicious smoked meat.

So I will start by saying the sandwich was solid. The two starts is based off the service. I ordered a chicken sandwich and nothing else. My friends both got the brisket sandwich with tater tots. They got their sandwiches fairly fast. We sat and talked while they ate. They FINISHED eating, still hadn't gotten my sandwich. I saw one of the workers give the food to the people who got there week after us so I asked about my sandwich but didn't receive a response (not sure if he didn't hear me or just ignored me). After a few more minutes I went up to the counter to ask and before I could say a word the lady cooking in the back gave me a dirty look and said "look your chicken still need to be cooked, ok?" I hadn't even said a word. I get it if they forgot my order but the lousy attitude before I said anything is not ok. I will make sure I don't recommend this place to my buddies.

The service was great. Super friendly staff. Loved the atmosphere. I wish I could come back here, but I won't because the eggs in my breakfast burrito literally had zero seasoning. The burrito would've been much better if the eggs had some seasoning.

You won't find a bad sandwich here. Everything is so good! The brisket is excellent as a lunch sandwich, breakfast sandwich, or a street taco. The original chicken sandwich is also very good! This place gets 5 stars because of its convenience when visiting Silver Strand Beach. You can also tell that the there is a cool little culture emanating from the place. A fun place with good food and good people. What's not to like?

Good Sammies! Fresh ingredients- yummy Brussel sprouts. Can't wait to try breakfast! Silver Strand staple.

Joined a group of guys from work one Friday morning for breakfast burritos. It's a very small place and would not be able to seat very many people, but we were the only ones there. Tables were dirty like nobody had cleaned them off after closing the night before. Burritos were AWESOME. It took a considerable amount of time to cook 5 burritos though. Not sure if that was because he just opened and needed time to get up to speed. I can definitely see why guys from work like to stop here to get breakfast burritos and bring them to the office.

Excellent food, great atmosphere, friendly people. It was difficult deciding what to get because they all sounded so good. When our sandwiches came out they both looked awesome and tasted delicious. You can't go wrong! Hoping to eventually make it though the entire menu.

Some of the best local meals! Always made fresh and hot. I took my dad here and he was hesitant to try something new, but when he tried his egg, cheese, and brisket croissant sandwich he was blown away. Highly recommend this local gem!

The food was good but way too overpriced! 40$ for 2 burritos is crazy. other than that the place was clean and old school service was good as well

Omg Best Breakfast Sandwich I've ever had in my life. I even told the cook that before I left! The brisket with scrambled eggs on a croissant with cheddar cheese. Incredible. And super filling. I saved half for my fiancée and when I picked him up he took a bite and said mmmmm wow. And then he said it was the best breakfast sandwich he ever had and I couldn't believe he said the exact same thing I said and he didn't even know I had just said that!! We are going back next time we are in Oxnard for sure. We might even make a special trip for it. Because I can't stop thinking about that perfect breakfast croissant. Yum yum yum in my tum tum tum.

Best local food spot in Oxnard. By far the best food - the brisket is amazing. Employees especially friendly with return/local customers. Any sandwich, or loaded fries option are the best!

Go get yourself a Rueben!! And the steak fries are killer! Good portions. Local favorite!

We got the lobster tacos which my son is still talking about. They were so good and quite spicy. I got a Philly cheesesteak and the way they cook the brisket meat is just amazing. I really liked the sandwich and I will be getting another one but I want to try everything else on the menu first, we are going back today to try more things. I highly recommend it.

Food was not good. I would not go back. Expensive for frozen, nasty food. Mystery meat was horrid.

We live walking distance away from The Strandwich & man is it amazing! My bf & I LOVEEE LOVE LOVE the brisket breakfast burrito. That's our go to burrito everytime we go here. Highly recommend that. I tried the sausage breakfast burrito and that was amazing too but still my all time is the brisket one!!! Everyone at the shop are always soooo friendly and the customer service is amazing! We love taking the food togo and enjoying the hot, melty burrito at the beach. Give this place a try! Don't think you'll regret it

Was referred by a friend, had their breakfast burritos and while it did take a bit long, for someone who doesn't really enjoy burritos, it was definitely worth the wait. I'd definitely get again

Brisket plate over easy eggs!! On point!! My first time here and it's really good!! Brisket is really flavorful not dry at all!! The tots are crispy!! Love the vibe here friendly and fresh!! A must try if u are in Silver Strand!!

Best burrito of my life! Pic is the "brisket burrito " and it is absolutely the best burrito I've ever tasted! The quality and freshness is over the top. 8 of us picked up our burritos and walked to the beach. We all agree that this place is amazing! The sauce is also really amazing. Highly recommend this place. PS: Visiting my family here and plan on coming back tomorrow before I leave.
