Burger Barn — Restaurant in Camarillo

A staple of Mission Oaks, Burger Barn has been allowing teens to dodge nagging parents for decades. Whether it be to get dad off their back about that summer job or just a place to gain a slight respite from a 40 something divorcee mother who thinks she's one of the girls Burger Barn has been there for all.
