Amy’s Drive Thru, the nation’s first organic, vegetarian fast food restaurant, announces the opening of its fifth location in Thousand Oaks, California. Its first restaurant in Southern California, Amy’s Drive Thru is returning to the roots of American fast food, serving options to feed hard-working people, busy families and road-weary travelers.
Each menu item is made to order, including burgers, fries, milkshakes, and salads, using organic and non-GMO ingredients. Every item on the menu can be made gluten-free and vegan. The top seller is The Amy, a double veggie patty made with real ingredients, double cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, and Fred Sr.’s secret sauce (regular or spicy). Complete any meal with other menu items including organic chili and sweet potato fries, gluten-free and vegan pizzas, milkshakes handmade from plant-based milks, and seasonal salads made with fresh, organic ingredients.
As with all Amy’s Drive Thru restaurants, it will operate as sustainably as possible and strive for net zero and low environmental impact. The 4,060 sq. ft. space utilizes sustainably sourced building materials and offers seating for 110 people. The restaurant is outfitted with solar shading, special low-emission parking spots and electric vehicle charging stations, and food is served in compostable packaging. Amy’s Drive Thru also collaborated with the City of Thousand Oaks on a first-of-its-kind water reuse program where we repurpose water used in the restaurant in the outdoor garden.
“Since we started Amy’s Drive Thru in 2015, Southern California has been on our radar,” said Andy Berliner, Amy’s Drive Thru co-founder in a statement. “Our passion is making great-tasting organic fast food convenient and accessible, and the Thousand Oaks community couldn’t be a more natural fit.”
The restaurant is located at 400 N Moorpark Road, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360. The restaurant is open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Online orders for pickup or delivery can be placed on the Amy’s Drive Thru app or online.
