“From being greeted by Pradstha to being served by Hugo all was fantastic. My steak was cooked to perfection (Medium rare of course) the baked potato was cooked through but not dry, and the salad bar provided a very nice fresh selection. Even two Managers Michael and Christine made sure all was well with my meal.
Thanks everyone, I'll be back!”

“Best place for #qurantineandchill take out meals.”
“The icing on these doatnuts just melt in your mouth and there is no heavy after feeling from eating one. They are so delicious it’s hard to believe they are sugar and gluten free!! I will be making this shop my one time doatnuts shop from now on! 😋”
“This place is awesome!! Food is fantastic, service is fantastic, and atmosphere is fantastic. Total 5 stars in my book ok. My new favorite place to eat and hang. Only a 3/4 minute walk from the pier. A perfect date night place. Sunset, walk and great food!”

“Vegan comfort food so good you'll tell everyone you know about it. My wife and I had meatloaf sandos because we haven't either of us had meatloaf in decades and we both liked it when we did eat meat. Scott's (hey Scott) meatloaf isn't like your traditional meatloaf with granules of ground beef. Instead, it is more the texture of a fine dice of beef, and man, it is mind-blowing good! I hear the Reuben will make you want to move to Oceanside. I'd love to see what this place could do with a tuna melt. The fries are superior and, well, they nailed it. Love the 60s/70s counter-culture vibe and, of course, the surf undertone (it's blocks from the waves). The service is what you would hope for and holds a soupcon of joy behind it. Scott is personable and you can see his heart is in the food and the restaurant. Finally...calling all meat eaters! This place is the place for you. I used to eat meat. I too know the dissatisfaction vegan food can bring. In short, I am not unsympathetic. You won't be dissatisfied here. I wouldn't be surprised if you returned and brought other people. I've tried all the meat substitutes and this isn't like that. They got hold of something here and it's really good.”

“Had a fantastic time! Got some drinks with my wife after our anniversary dinner; bartenders were very relatable and friendly. We felt extremely welcome. The space (no pun intended) was a little smaller than I expected but that made the experience much more intimate. Definitely recommend! We will be back :)”
Outdoor Dining
“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.”
“This a listening bar rather than a nightclub. It's set up for listening to music and socializing, not for dancing. The vibes were great during my visit, I got into to several pleasant conversations with other patrons. I didn't encounter anyone who was over-served. The staff was friendly and professional.”
“This is probably the best In-N-Out we have been to. We are avid In-N-Out goers and this has the be the best we have been to. The food comes out quick, they seem to be very efficient. Jarod was all over the place helping people out, opening doors for people and cleaning up. I highly recommend this In-N-Out.”
“From the first course to the last our server was extremely attentive and helped us navigate the menu. We had the 8 course tasting menu and honestly, I couldn’t find a single dish to say anything but amazing things about. After dinner we got a brief tour of the private dining area and back of house, shook hands with the executive chef and got to thank him for helping curate such a special birthday dinner for my partner and myself. It truly was a journey through coastal Mexico with every bite and the staff was incredibly kind. If you have an opportunity to experience this place, you should absolutely book the reservation! The chef’s and staff here earned their star for great reason!”
“Smallish restaurant with tiny parking lot of about 10 spots shared between 3 businesses. Like the roll up garage door windows, lots of outdoor picnic bench seating under shade canopies (which we couldn't use on this rainy day). Beer selection is pretty good, we had the meat lovers 12 inch pizza and liked the thin crispy crust, a bit skimpy on the toppings but tasty enough.
Parking: I think 10 spots between 3 (?) businesses in this very small strip mini mall.”
“Handel’s is hands-down the best ice cream around! Creamy, rich, and packed with flavor, I never knew ice cream could taste so good. Huge portions, amazing variety, and friendly service make it a must-visit every time I’m in the area. The only place where brain freeze is totally worth it.” 🧊”
“Right on the 101. These guys crushed it. Family of four and they fed us well. Check tika, Lamb korma. My wife and Daughter get spicy stuff so I won't eat theirs. Lol”
“Amazing food and service. They really care about both the experience and their customers. Definitely a place to come with an open mind and a serious palate for food as this is some of the most complex foods I’ve tried in a while. Loved it.”

“My Brother and I visited the Oceanside CA Texas Roadhouse and were amazed at not only the quality of food, but also the service provided by our waitress DANIELLE. Thanks to her expert menu recommendations we ordered and enjoyed some awesome drinks, appetizers and of course some exquisite entrees. This is easily one of, if not the best meal we’ve ever eaten. I cannot recommend this place enough! Danielle’s high customer service skills enabled a warm and welcoming environment!”
“The people and the kitchen staff all so very attentive to all customers, our waitress was so very pleasant and helpful, answering all of our questions, the atmosphere was warm and comfortable. Highly recommended. Thank you to all for a wonderful and delicious experience… food was amazing.”
“Customer service is good and the food was prepared without us having to wait an exorbitant amount of time. The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered Szechuan tofu with rice and then vegetable chow mein (which was amazing) and my nana ordered salt and pepper wings and vegetable egg rolls. She claims they were excellent. I'm usually a big eater but could not finish it all. Place is mid sized, if you intend to have a large party, you will take up most of the space in this place. Tables would have to be moved together if you wanted to sit together. Other than that it is perfect for 1-4 people to grab lunch and go. They take phone orders. I'm also vegetarian so there are options for you if you are as well. Think that covers it, stop by yourself and enjoy!
Vegetarian options: Lot of tofu options or just different vegetable dishes
Dietary restrictions: My Nana can't eat beef or pork and I am vegetarian. Still a good selection of options for the both of us”
“My family and I eat here all the time! Whether it be a birthday, or just a free Saturday, Waraii is the best choice. They always have such great service and the music is in great taste-never too loud. I recommend the crunch dragon and the spicy garlic edamame when you come! See you tomorrow!”
“Wow! This is exceptional Thai food. The flavors are layered to the point you taste each one.”

“Amazing. Makes me feel like im back in La Patria all the way in SoCal. Definitely nailed the Colombian and Peruvian food down. This Colombian co-signs this place ✔️. Give them a try if you're looking for sensational South American style flavor all the way down to the music they play!!!!!!!! 🇨🇴 🇵🇪”
“I have been on the hunt for the best breakfast burrito in Oceanside/ Carlsbad, and definitely found it here! The Cali burrito and bacon, egg, and cheese were top tier. The atmosphere is perfect bc you’re right on the water basically. Iced lattes were great too! Check this place out!”
“We spent a quick visit tonight, relaxing, beautiful outdoor seating! Staff was amazing! We will be back!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Tucked into a weathered brick building with more history than signage, we stumbled on this cool little coffee spot that felt as comfortable as dropping by a neighbour’s. Peter has clearly poured his passion into the space. Succulents in quirky containers, strings of pearls cascading down the brick, greenery tucked into unexpected corners. Americano and latte were easily among the best we’ve had. Exactly the kind of place you hope to stumble across on holiday.”
“Ate here for the first time last evening after driving past it many times up and down Oceanside Blvd. All I can say is "Incredible!!" We parked our car, walked into the grass carpeted area and felt like we were no longer on Oceanside Blvd. The area they have set up with tables, fame heaters and a large screen TV is great. It is immaculate, and actually cleaner than a lot of local restaurants I've been in. The young lady who helped us since it was our first time, was excellent. She was making sure the condiment area was supper clean, I could have eaten off of it, lol. She had a great smile and was very welcoming as she helped us with answering our questions about the menu. The food was excellent, and the portions were great. Pricing was excellent and we will definitely be back. Again, both the area and truck are immaculate and the cleanest I've ever seen. Thank you, Gaby's Tacos, for an excellent "truck" dining experience!! If you have not stopped but keep wondering about it, give it a chance and support a local business.”
“I can honestly say everything that comes out of this kitchen is amazing ! I have brought out of town family here who still can’t stop raving about how good it was ! Not only is the food amazing but the drinks are great and the people are even better! Always welcoming kind and the place itself is so cute! Ask any employee about food and they will give you their favs ( trust me go with them you won’t be disappointed)! I am so happy this little cafe is right down the street! They always fill my belly and my soul! Thanks for keeping Oside yummy and cute!”
“Amazing coffee - bold and smooth. Kind, joyful great humans! Love this place. Come visit, you’ll be so glad you did!
We are back again this morning. Flat white and a delicious pumpkin cream cheese muffin for me, house drip and a delicious almond croissant for my hubby. The coffee is perfection here, no matter what is ordered. Jason carefully and thoughtfully asks enough questions to be able to make each drink to perfection. He even got the tiny bit of raw sugar in my flat white perfect. I’m so impressed. Be sure to find Camp Coffee and their awesome crew whenever you visit O’side. It’s a real treat.”

“I had an amazing experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken! The food was everything you’d expect—crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. The spice levels are spot on, so whether you want just a little kick or full heat, they’ve got you covered.
What really made the visit stand out was the exceptional customer service from Tony. He went above and beyond to make sure my order was perfect, checked in to see if everything tasted good, and made me feel genuinely welcome. It’s not often you get that kind of personal attention at a fast-casual spot, and it truly elevated the whole experience.
I’ll definitely be coming back—not just for the chicken, but because the team (especially Tony) made it such a great visit. Highly recommend!”
“Everything, banchan, pork cheek, and samgyupsal we're my favorites.”

“A few months ago our nonprofit organization was looking for a place where our families could meet up to enjoy some amazing coffee and socialize a bit. Our Angels at Right Hand Angels are disabled and many times they are not accepted in the community. That is not the case here. Each time we have walked in our families have been greeted with kindness, dignity and respect. The staff and owner is always quick to make a smile or chat for a few and even have made some great selections on foods and the game chess. One of our athletes in particular is very quick to claim his favorite chair where he can visually see everything and everyone around him in hopes to make small talk with families. Socialization is so very important to them. We think nothing but the world of this facility and highly recommend the dirty spiced chai and avocado toast. Join them. Atmosphere is very pleasant and wheelchair accessible.”
“Dear Beer Town Oceanside, I'm writing to express my sincere appreciation for the fantastic experiences I've had at your establishment. From the moment I walk in, I'm always greeted by your friendly and attentive staff who make me feel right at home. As someone who works remotely, I truly value your reliable and fast Wi-Fi connection. It allows me to get work done while enjoying your amazing atmosphere. Speaking of atmosphere, the live music you feature is always Great! It adds such a fun and lively vibe to the place. And of course, I have to mention the food. Your menu is outstanding, and every dish I've tried has been top notch. Thank you for providing such a wonderful space to relax, and enjoy great food and music. I look forward to many more visits! Sincerely, AnthonyRayShane.com”
“One of the better Thai restruants or Asian restraunts in general in Oceanside. Serving actual authentic Thai dishes with real spice unlike many Thai/Asian restraunts here that I’ve tried so far. The staff are also always kind to me and make me feel welcomed everytime I come here.”
“Portion sizes were good, the chicken and carnitas were good, the al pastor didnt taste like anything tbh. They put lettuce on the tacos, and guacamole which for most is a plus but for me wish they’d mentioned it on the menu before i ordered. I wanted a burrito but they make them weird missing the things i want (rice beans cheese with the meat) and adding things I dont generally go for (lettuce salsa fresca guacamole)
Its authentic but whitewashed, like the menu caters to the oceanside surfers rather than latinos who want an authentic tj taco. Overall it was decent but not my top tier favorite.”
“Attentive server. Awesome food, hot and just enough of it. Moderatly loud, was able to have conversations with the people seated next to me, any farther away was very hard. Salsa had a nice kick, with short legs, won't burn out your taste buds.”
“I absolutely love Latin food! 😋😋😋 Today, I decided to try the Tallarines verdes con Bistek, and let me tell you, it was fantastic! I’m usually not a huge beef person, but I was craving a steak 🥩🥩 today, which was cooked to perfection. I had such a lovely lunch! Plus, Venus, our server, was super friendly and made the experience even better.”
“The people and the kitchen staff all so very attentive to all customers, our waitress was so very pleasant and helpful, answering all of our questions, the atmosphere was warm and comfortable. Highly recommended. Thank you to all for a wonderful and delicious experience… food was amazing.”
“Four of us went there today to celebrate my 85th birthday. What a treat! Such a friendly atmosphere! The food was excellent. The service was friendly and professional at the same time. We brought our cake with us and they provided plates and serving needs. No one hurried us and we came away happy.”
“My family and I eat here all the time! Whether it be a birthday, or just a free Saturday, Waraii is the best choice. They always have such great service and the music is in great taste-never too loud. I recommend the crunch dragon and the spicy garlic edamame when you come! See you tomorrow!”
“Great atmosphere! The hosts and servers were all very kind and helpful. Lots of food options. The Gluten Free pizza (sausage and garlic) was absolutely phenomenal! Highly recommend! Family and dog friendly. Music playing and sports (muted) on multiple tvs upstairs.”
“Great food and service!! Try the Brussels. You won’t regret it.”
“Shoutout to Zhu and Newyear their customer service was outstanding they were really helpful and nice!! They were amazing with recommendations definitely coming back more often thank you for a great experience!!”
“We’ve been here 3 times and service & food is always on point. The staff are friendly, accommodating, and attentive. The restaurant is clean and a lot of room. The food is so yummy and cooked perfectly! Definitely recommend this place! 💯💯💯”
“Very good experience the waitress was awesome very helpful very knowledgeable gave good recommendations sorry can’t remember her name the food was great it’s a must try”
“Phenomenal place with great service all around. The sushi is amazing and always on point. I always mention this place to friends and family as one of the hidden gems of Oceanside. Lastly, although the place can get a bit packed, it is always worth the wait 😉!”
“Employees are always friendly and food is done in a timely manner, the food is amazing and with a reasonable price.”
“Jada is a great person and professional. Thank you..
Dolly was so very rude to me when I ask her name. All I did was ask her name my friend saw her look she gave and rudely place drinks on table and stormed off. I am friendly person a I ask the name so I can say thank you. Thank you followed by name that is all.”
“Good food. Pleasant host. Plenty of space. It’s good to have a restaurant in this area. Parking, dine in or carry out. My first time I only had a burrito because it was almost time to close the kitchen. But now that I’ve been there I will definitely be going back.”
“What a beautiful restaurant and amazing service and loved how they go over the menu ! We went for anniversary lunch it was chill and the food was amazing! Wish it wasn’t 500 miles away but we be back! We love Oceanside and this restaurant!”
“Best place for #qurantineandchill take out meals.”
“We had the best experience there. Food was fantastic and service impeccable due to our server Felipe.”
“First time at Harney Sushi and I would definitely go back! We ordered the Rainbow Role, Maui Wowii, Yellow Mellow, harney-peños, roasted shishito peppers, calamari, salmon nigiri, vegetarian fried rice, and crunch rolls. Everything was delicious! I can’t wait to try other items. The DJ was on point with his music choice and our waitress was a doll (forgot her name but she reminds me of the beautiful Rosario Dawson)”
“We ate there for the first time this weekend the service was amazing and so was the food our only regret is we didn’t know about it sooner”
“I love mead. I’ve tried nearly everything I can get my hands on, including shipping things from half a world away. I first tried Golden Coast Mead today at the Poway farmers market and they are truly making something special. The booth was worked by a wonderful woman named Jessica who gave me a $5 tasting flight and let me in on a delicious little secret regarding sweet and sour. I purchased bottles of Wildflower Sweet, Wildflower Sour, and Triple Chili. Highly recommend. Stop by if you want to find out about the secret for yourself!”
“This Korean BBQ place is amazing! The meat is fresh, well-marinated, and very flavorful when grilled. The portions are generous, and the side dishes are tasty and complement the BBQ perfectly. The staff is attentive and friendly, always helping to change the grill or add charcoal. The restaurant is clean and has a lively atmosphere, making it a great spot for family gatherings or hanging out with friends. Definitely coming back again—highly recommended! 🔥🥩🍺”
“This a great smoothie bar right next to the Wisconsin market. Look for the sign on the street. Sometimes it’s inside the Wisconsin market if you can’t find it. But it’s a great place to get a smoothie and walk to the beach. It’s not a far walk to the pier too. You could park here on the street where it’s less crowded, get a smoothie, and take a chill stroll over to the pier!”
“Stumbled on this place.months ago and it's become one of our favorite spots. Has the perfect little dive bar vibe but I can also get a nice cocktail with no hassle if that's what I'm feeling that night. Bar tenders are always cool. I'm not even a country fan really but it's a good time. Definitely recommend”
“REVISED TO SAY: The restaurant is under new management and I have nothing but praises to sing.I booked Iron Mike's for a group of general officers and a very senior enlisted Marine yesterday and the whole experience was amazing in a number of ways:-Nobody was answering the phone at the event center, so I was there in person early, before opening. Nobody was able to help me until I magically bumped into the restaurant owner/manager Renee. He immediately dropped what he was doing, took me to the restaurant, showed me where he could set up a table and asked me if I wanted waist height or high top tables. He also introduced me to the chef.-While I was waiting for my group to show up later that day he checked with me to see how they would want the tab, and a few other very insightful questions.-When the group showed up he greeted them in person and made their entry very smooth.All in all it was fantastic service. When I spoke to my group of stars later everyone said they enjoyed lunch thoroughly, liked that it was quiet and they could talk, the food was really good and it was an easy experience for them overall.Thank you to those at Iron Mikes who made that part of their day so seamless and enjoyable!”
“Went for friends birthday and overall good experience, good food, served within 10min of order, our server cymon was very attentive to our food order and drinks were cleaned and served, joined on the birthday song for my friend making the experience very pleasant and enjoyable.”
“Service was slow and inconsistent. We sat almost 12 minutes before anyone came near us. We ordered an appetizer , while we waited for our third person to arrive. We ordered dinner and were served salads immediately. We were halfway thru the salad before the appetizer arrived. Minutes later, dinners arrived. while we were still working on the appetizer. Service was not the best, but the food was really excellent. The Prime Rib was perfect, but the plate was drab and dull. No color whatsoever. A piece of parsley would go a long way. I have had better service at IHOP.”
“Muy rica comida, nunca e salido decepcionada de esté restaurante, ademas el dueño muy atento y humilde eso aprecio demasiado siempre disfruto estar aqui”
“an amazing and super fun place to hang out, eat, and watch whatever sport your into.”
“Our waiter Spencer was excellent. Always checked in on us and was super knowledgeable. The restaurant was beautiful and everyone was kind.”
“I had the clam chowder which was delicious. However, you must really like a lot of potatoes and clam chowder to enjoy this. The service was good. We also have the cooked shrimp dish as an appetizer. What you really paying for is the view in the ambience of being near the ocean”
“What a great place. Great atmosphere, food and service. So sad to see them go! CLOSED!!! They have been bought by a pizza place. Not sure what it will be called or what they will serve.”
“I just happened to find this Chili's the day it opened for inside dining. The staff was bustling and very attentive even though apparently a couple of servers didn't show. I ordered the $8 lunch and got something new to me: an avocado bacon cheese half sandwich with strawberry lemonade. Wow! so really good and plenty to fill me up. I'll definitely return the next time I'm in the neighborhood now that my daughter gave me a Chili's gift card for Mother's Day.”

“This Denny’s at college & hwy 76 in Oceanside Ca is incredible! All of the staff are fast, friendly, polite, and they really provide the incredible service & food that you are looking for in a restaurant! The dining room is clean & comfortable. My waiter, Everette, was straight up exceptional! He anticipated my needs before I even asked! Unobtrusive yet 100% attentive! He totally made my day! The food was delicious and cooked to outstanding perfection! I should have grabbed a pic to share with the public, but it looked so yummy that I forgot, and dived right in to devour it, lol. The chef made my top sirloin taste just like filet minion! Seriously! And for those of you, like me, that ask for medium rare, and almost never have it come out right, this chef delivered perfect medium rare! Nice grill outside and perfect pink throughout. Exactly spot on!! Fluffy rustic mashed potatoes that tasted like soft yummy clouds! And the steamed veggies fork tender but not too soft! I mean one generously portioned and utterly delicious plate!! So grateful I came here today!! Thank you Denny’s Oceanside!!”

“Absolutely, without a doubt, the best beach bar/cafe in Southern California! Irresistible Mexican fare at price that's hardly believable. Fast, friendly bartenders. Lots of regular patrons who have also grown to love the place and will make you feel right at home (I call it my "Cheers" bar) and an outdoor dining area that just oozes beach-town charm. Always have a good time, there.”

“I am happy to see that this place is still in business. I live in New Mexico now, But, I lived in Oceanside a little over 30 years ago. I Never forgot the wonderful food & service. I Remember "Patty" & "Jose Ochoa." I hope they are doing Good today, Great memories of food & Friendship. Donna King”
“We spent Father's day at the restaurant last Sunday - 10 of us. We had a wonderful experience. The delicious food just kept coming. Special thanks to our great waitress, Mia. She guided us through the computer ordering system (not that hard). She was also always attentive. Recommend highly for a hungry family.”

Scott's (hey Scott) meatloaf isn't like your traditional meatloaf with granules of ground beef. Instead, it is more the texture of a fine dice of beef, and man, it is mind-blowing good!

“Choose the short ribs if you are looking for a flavor-filled meal, the Pad Thai for consistency, and absolutely order the cheesecake for dessert. You can skip the appetizer, it fell flat for us. We got there at opening and it was loud inside.”
