Restaurants near Camp Pendleton South

“The meal was satisfactory, however, the cost was significantly higher than what I would consider reasonable for the meal I received. I ordered a bagel breakfast sandwich, and while it was enjoyable, I do not believe it was worth the price I paid.”

“I went to the McDonalds drive thru on base this morning and had excellent service.I had not been at this location in over a year due to some bad experiences; however, today I received truly great customer service and in a timely manner.Thanks guys”

“I've only eaten here once, but it was fantastic. As you might suspect, this is one of those places where you're going to pay quite a bit, and you're going to do it specifically to be somewhat outside your usual comfort zone. Portions are small but not unreasonably so. Flavors are going to be complex and rather experimental, even unconventional, so only come here when you're in a mindset for being adventurous in eating. That will ensure you have a positive experience and get the most out of your adventure. During my meal with friends I learned that I can absolutely love rhubarb and sweetbreads, two things I've not liked before. But this place turned them into new magic. The halibut and wagyu beef were to die for, but not in any way that I have ever tasted before. I wasn't a huge fan of a bone marrow appetizer (although friends loved it), so the servers gave us a complimentary round of champagne. Pretty fair, if you ask me. Speaking of drinks, the bartenders have as many tasty and unique tricks as the chefs do. Order a gin gimlet even if you don't usually like them. I was hooked. Remember, adventure and new flavor experiences are the reason for coming here, not just to have food made from the best ingredients. Decor is romantic and sort of mid century mod, spacing is cozy but not tight, and the atmosphere is vibrant, perhaps even a little loud. I will definitely be coming back for more new flavors.”

“Tonight we just stopped in for a few cocktails and light conversation on the patio...Every single member of the staff was so kind and so nice!Perfection on the cocktails!!?”

“Meat was tasty, not enough sauce, asked for toasted well bun, didn't happen and potato chips were not fresh. I will give another try in future. maybe still working on things. Good Luck.”

“Dinner with my husband and son didn’t disappoint! Super friendly service—people you want to hang with. Brussels sprouts were amazing! Pear Gorgonzola flatbread was perfect mix of comfort food with really cool flavors. Husband had eggplant and said it was absolutely delicate and tasty. Pesto penne was creamy and unique. We’re both #vegetarian so lots of options. Son had a chicken dish that he said was decadent. Will def go back!”

“Awesome beer! Vibe was very cool! Staff was outstanding. One of our favorite local breweries! They really have the murky/hazy IPA game down! You can tell they use super fresh ingredients in their beer! Can’t wait to go back.”

“Food was great! I love ramen and this spot is one of the best I've had! We got the Gonzo black and the tonkatsu along with some takoyaki. The Takoyaki was average, but the ramen was superb! The broth was rich and was very flavorful. The staff was really nice and the food came out quickly as well. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely stop by again!”

“I always love coming here when I'm in the area. They have some of the best gelato I've had period. The staff is always eager to let you sample different flavors and everything I've tried has been delicious, especially the pistachio 10/10I've also had some of their coffee and matcha just to try it out. The matcha is made using a whisk and bowl and was yummy. The coffee was honestly just ok, still 5 stars though because the gelato is that good!”

“Really good beer and great selection of different brews . Great atmosphere to sit and relax and enjoy a drink with friends . Big shout out to Bill and Mathias for guiding us in our selections”

“I've been here twice now and great food both times. Very flavorful dishes, with a good level of spice but not over the top spicy. Last time I asked what their mocktail was and they made it custom for me based on what types of drinks I described, and it was delicious! One time I brough my 4 year-old and it was hard to find many dishes for him to eat since he doesn't like spicy food. He mostly ate coconut rice and then got ice cream down the road after.”

“My bday dinner here was a total success. I love this place. Food is top notch along with great service. ( I wish I could remember her name).Menu is 100% veganHome kombucha was to die forGreat beer selectionDietary restrictions: Menu is 100% vegan”

“Food is fantastic, and spice levels are spot on. I believe the owner has greeted us on multiple occasions and he's extremely friendly. Great atmosphere, milkshakes, and service! Definitely will be back many times. They also have military discount which is always nice to hear of the support!”

“Stopped here for an after dinner treat. Even though they were busy, we never felt rushed. From telling us to sample every flavour, recommendations to similar flavours after we found one we liked, to the most perfect scoops I’ve ever seen.Oh, and the ice cream was smooth, creamy and as flavourful as it comes. Tasted as advertised and better.If I don’t stop there 3 times during my vacation I’ll be shocked!”

“Eris himself greeted us and gave us amazing recommendations. I ordered the chicken bacon ranch sandwich and it was life changing. My best friend had the salad. HUGE portions and incredible quality. Made to order. I’ve had vegan food all over the world and this was by far one of my favorite experiences. Also… he makes his ketchup in house. Can’t wait to come back here soon! Also tons of street parking. Thank you Eris!”

“Great food and service but they need to do something about the hostess stand location. It is very awkward and there is nowhere to stand when waiting for a table. I moved forward and four groups cut in front of me since the hostess did not ask who was next in line, she just looked at someone else and took their information.”

“The service, the grounds, the food, all of it magnificent! I did not know about this place and now I cannot wait to go. I also want to have a reason to book a party (too bad I am already married because the wedding venues are gorgeous!)”

“Wonderful food, it makes you appreciate how healthy ingredients can be turned into delicious food! The breaded tofu was wonderful and the cheese sauce for the fries was so smooth! I also appreciate that the sandwich bread wasn't so thick and let the actual substance of the meal shine.”

“The staff is great. The food is so amazing. When we get a night out this is our go to. Today we had the lunch special it was a great value. Mango ice cream for dessert.”

“I love how this small , family-owned business is located conveniently on Mission Ave. Great service and they have some pastries & vegan sweets too. They’ve got a nice seating that allows for people-watching and most importantly, they support other small bakeries & businesses by carrying their goods. It’s a win-win and I love that for our community.”

“The Signature Grandeur Burrito is the Best in the North County! ?Dj Julian Ramirez and Dj Plastic played some Great music and made the experience that much better!”

“The food here is amazing! Freshly cooked, high quality, generous portions and presented well. Prices reasonable especially for the quality. The flavor of the dishes are unique and the seasonings just magical. Every bite is a culinary delight! We have had other Indian food and nothing compares to Tumeric Hut! The staff work hard and are very kind and fun to get to know. We are fans and will definetly be back!!”

“Sweet little local brewery with excellent product. Great outdoor space. The guys behind the counter are brewers, owners or both, so an informed choice of brew is easy. Wine tasting & food on weekends.”

“I highly recommend this little hidden shop if are in the Oside area. Such a good vibe and the bagel sandwich I had was great! The best part by far though was the emotional support services by the little orange tabby Angus, so adorable!!”

“My wife and I have been to Casera over a dozen times. It is a staple of our Sunday afternoons. The staff and owners (family-owned!) are extremely friendly, the food is authentic, and the empanadas are the best I've ever had. My wife really loves the Peruvian Ceviche (only available on weekends), but you can't go wrong with anything here.Parking: Parking is readily available, but it's a Mad Max situation at all times. Drive slowly and watch out for erratic driving.”

“Pizza and More is hidden in a little strip mall in Vista. Lola and Manolo greeted us like we were family! The variety of entrees and specials is wonderful. Jair, the chef made us a delicious dinner of Garlic Pest Knots, Osso Bucco, and Ravioli Lobster. The food was exquisite! Followed by Spumoni in a chocolate shell. Wow! We can't wait to go back!”

“Really recommend this place, staff are super friendly and helpful always welcome you with a smile the place is super clean as well. The drinks are amazing too. 10/10”

“We’ve been coming here on and off for the past 15 years and love it. The food, the people and the family atmosphere make this gem perfect! Each time my family comes in I have been reminding (harassing) Chris to let his mom know that we would love for the short ribs to come back on Sundays. Well the good lord answered and the short ribs have returned! The short ribs are perfectly cooked and falls apart with the slightest touch. I am forever grateful that you folks brought it back! Ya’ll are amazing! See you on Sundays!”

“My girlfriend and I LOVE this place! Discovered it by accident two years ago when I moved to Carlsbad… I live an hour and a half north now but still a mandatory stop for us anytime we are in the area! Everyone working there is so friendly and you can’t beat the service!”
