Lennon's is casual, family friendly dining. Nothing fancy, just good food enjoyed on a lovely patio. Everything is fresh. You order at the counter, pick up your plates, silverware, etc. as you exit to the patio. We love the Mediterranean Pizza, Beet Salad, and Oriental Salad among many other good choices.

I enjoyed eating here. My salad was excellent and very fresh. My glass of wine was delicious. This place is always well-frequented by locals. Will come back very soon.

Not what you would expect in an italian pizza and sandwich place. Nice outdoor seating; great menu. We had a roasted vegetable pannini that was done on a foccacia bread as opposed to a sandwich style bread. Tastier and softer. Came with a side salad. Really a nice twist. Wide range of unique pizzas.

We stayed in Ojai over the weekend and was just driving randomly around when we passed by this place. Although this is a little off the beaten track if you're staying in Ojai, it is well worth tracking this place down. We asked a few of the locals about the place before we went in, and all of the reports... More

I come to visit Ojai, frequently and I have to say, Papa Lennon's is always my first choice. Off the beaten path, friendly staff and the ambiance is wonderful! I love to sit outside on their enclosed patio. I usually take family with children and it is designed so that whether you are with your sweetheart or with family, you'll... More

We ate here twice during our stay, for lunch and for dinner. The prices are reasonable, and the pizzas and garlic fries are delicious. Our children loved it, as did we. We sat outside on the patio for lunch, inside for dinner. Is located in Meiner's Oaks, a nice change from the main street (and high prices) in Ojai. We... More

My kids love this place so much, they beg me to make the same foods for them when we eat at home. No joke. GREAT spot, good simple menu, and good beer on tap. One tip, do NOT get the creme brulee to go - we made that mistake once. doesnt work. But this place is great food, and value.... More

At Yelp's suggestion, we found this restaurant on our first evening. Salads were great. Hubby's Chicken Alfredo was rich, creamy. More than anything I loved the atmosphere: sitting outside on the brick patio, under a canopy of trees with the twinkling of lights in the trees and the stars beyond. (Sigh!)

Went to Papa Lennon's on Saturday night for the first time. It's very casual and a great atmosphere if you sit outside. Salads, sandwiches, pizza, pasta, beer and wine. The salads looked big. Sandwiches were all good and our friend really liked his pizza. The music was a 60s guy playing great acoustic music (from the 60s). Papa Lennon's is... More

Some outside dining, order and find a table but great food and lots of locals. Not touristy at all. It offers sort of Italian fare but the Garlic Fries should not be missed. Bring your breath mints.
