Public School Closing 2018.jpg

As the flyer above indicates, "School is Out" at Public School 805 Restaurant and Bar at close of business on Father's Day 2018 - June 17th. 

Coincidentally (or maybe not), Public School 805 opened its doors exactly five years ago to the day, on June 17, 2013.

Sorry to see PS 805 go but its sister eatery next door, The Grill on the Alley, remains open.

In other news, Shake Shack is hiring for managers for Shake Shack Thousand Oaks and the address given in the craigslist ad is 120 Promenade Way. One could possibly surmise that the soon to be former Public School 805 will become a Shake Shack in the near future but official confirmation of this possibility has not been received as of yet. We shall see...

Friend of CVG Joli C-J pointed out via the CVG Facebook Page that Mariscos Cancun Seafood Grill in the North Oaks Plaza, 1074 E. Avenida De Los Arboles in Thousand Oaks, has closed its doors. Mariscos was a favorite of many locals for years - at least 20 as I personally recall. Sorry to see it go.

HomeTown Buffet in Oxnard Recently Closed Its Doors

/

Truth be told I had not been at the HomeTown Buffet at 1906 Lockwood Street in Oxnard, near Best Buy and CarMax, for over 10 years. 

Buffets seem to be a dying breed around town. I used to enjoy taking the kids from time to time as they enjoyed the variety...and the plentiful assortment of…desserts. 

But as the kids have grown older through the years, I'm impressed by their desire to eat healthful foods...fruits and vegetables, and less desserts! Amazing how times have changed!

In any case, I was not aware of the recent closing and was not tipped off about it like I frequently am via the Conejo Valley Guide Facebook Page. But I did find out via Facebook as on my "wall" popped up an ad for a "Former HomeTown Buffet Restaurant Liquidation Auction."

A quick visit to the HomeTown Buffet website turned up no evidence of an Oxnard location. There thus are no more HomeTown Buffets in Ventura County.

The closest Hometown Buffet to Thousand Oaks has been and continues to be the Canoga Park location, which at 16 miles from Thousand Oaks is 4 miles closer than the Oxnard location was.
