Pete’s Breakfast House on East Main Street in Ventura has been a Ventura County breakfast institution since it opened, serving the kind of generous scratch-made American breakfast plates that earn a Southern California diner its loyal following across all seven days of the week. It appeared in Season 14, Episode 4 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Passin’ the Baton,” which aired April 23, 2012. Guy Fieri found a Ventura diner kitchen doing breakfast from scratch with the quality and personality that earns a neighborhood restaurant its destination reputation in a coastal California city with no shortage of morning options.

What to Eat
The Eggs Benedict Variations with rotating creative builds on the classic hollandaise format are the brunch centerpiece that earns Pete’s its Ventura reputation. The Pancakes made from scratch and served with house-made seasonal fruit compote are the sweet morning option most regulars add when they can’t commit to savory alone. The Breakfast Burritos stuffed with eggs, seasoned potatoes, cheese, and salsa are the California morning staple done with the quality that earns a diner its daily crowd. The House-Made Corned Beef Hash with poached eggs is the scratch item that sets Pete’s apart from standard diner competition. Find a Ventura hotel on Trivago.
