"I'm staying at the Fairfield Inn Suites behind this Sports Bar. After working all day, I was tired and didn't want to get back into traffic on the 101, so I decided to eat within walking distance. I looked up locations around me and came across Sportsman Camarillo. The menu had so many great choices for dinner, and even the appetizers were tempting. I finally decided on the rack of lamb for $44, which came with mixed veggies and my choice of clam chowder instead of a salad, along with a baked potato as my side. I was told the order would be ready in 20 minutes. When I walked over to the restaurant 20 minutes later, the atmosphere and setting were definitely more bar than restaurant. I was greeted by both bartenders, and one of them checked on my order. It wasn't ready yet but only took another 8 minutes. When I got back to my room and opened my plate, I was immediately disappointed. But then again, I did order lamb chops at a bar. The lamb chops were cooked to my requested temperature, but no seasoning at all had been added. The presentation of the signature rolls wasn't great, and the taste was just as bad. The mixed veggies, which I was looking forward to as much as the lamb, were just as disappointing—soggy and not visually appealing. The baked potato wasn't the loaded baked potato I'm used to; it had no cheese or bacon, only chives and green onions, and they still included the sour cream I asked them to hold. The clam chowder was the best part of my dinner. I won't ever visit this establishment again, but if I had to for some reason out of my control and I wasn't paying for it, I would only order the clam chowder."

"The first time here. I love places that have a solid family history. We have the poor steak sandwich for what they are known for. What makes this different is the garlic butter that it is applied to the meat, not the bread. Unlike garlic bread, which can be unconsistent taste, this taste is consistent. It's a party in your mouth with every bite. We didn't get anything to get the full taste of the 6 oz round steak. Next time I add the mushrooms. They offered cheese, onions or mushrooms. It comes with thin-cut pimples. I have to say it adds a nice note when considering that I'm not in the Pickle Fanclub. The sandwich is a beautiful size and will make me 2 meals. I ordered fries and my husband ordered onion rings. The Pommes were common, the star was the onion rings. The presentation was appealing, they were crispy and beautiful light rings. They can bite through the onions, perfectly cooked. I hate to bite in an onion ring and the whole thing comes out. It is served with Ranch Dressing. Our friends recommended the double-baked potato. It was good, but I think it really wasn't with that sandwich. But my husband enjoyed it. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, the service is very good and attentive. The onion rings are expensive, but worth every penny. This restaurant was forever and does not need my review, but they have a great place, and we need to spread the word! We'll drive 60 miles and we'll be back!"
