Negative reviews about the ordering system are coming from old boomers who don't understand technology. The ordering system via phone is awesome because you can order whatever you want whenever you want. I wish more companies did this. Needing to wait for a server to come by for another round is simply inefficient. Ready to leave? Checkout at your convince right in the app and bounce..I'm not going to knock them for lack of discounts, but it would be nice to have some sort of rewards or loyalty program for repeat customers.

Love this place every time I visit. They really have great beer. All of it is very well made and they have a style for almost everyone. Not only do the have great beer but they also have tasty food. You could stop by for an entire dinner or just a snack to go with a taster. The staff has always been amazingly friendly. The bar tenders are knowledgeable and enthusiastic about beer and brewing.Tons of seating is available inside and out. They have multiple patios where you can sit outside, some rooms with lots of seating that opened up, and indoor seating as well. The bar area is huge. The facility has an upstairs and downstairs. If you walk to the back you can see the brew house.The entire place and restrooms are very clean. I suggest bringing a jacket if you are going to be here when it's cold out. It's can be a bit drafty some days. Parking is hit and miss. There is plenty of street parking, but sometimes you have to walk a bit. They also have parking lots for the business, but somehow they can be easy to miss. They are on the south side of the building.Overall, fantastic place. Worth your time to visit.Dietary restrictions: Sometimes for all diets

Great food. Terrible ordering system. Gotta use their app, plug in all your contact / address / card info before you can get a damn beer. Aside from the food runner, you're on your own. It's laughable they ask for 25% tip on the phone..Wings n potato soup were great, burger bun was too dry to enjoy the burger.

This is one of my favorite places in Oceanside! They specialize in light beers (pils, lager, kölsch, etc.) and have great food. There is also plenty of seating (inside and outside) plus it’s dog friendly!

There is no wait staff - they make you place your order online and pay before it comes. The mobile ordering system is terrible. It took us 20 minutes to order for 8 people. Terrible ordering experience.The food was fine, and the staff was nice. They just really need to use wait staff for ordering.

Not good. The beer is good in my opinion but extremely overpriced. Bill was $30 for two small glass. Was charged 20% tip without permission by bartender (there is no wait staff). Food is frozen. Shame because I’m a neighbor living a couple blocks away and have been here four times over a year (all similar experiences) and will not be returning.All poor experiences but will be back

Fantastic craft beers and food. Top notch selection that included a guest tap of Sierra Nevada Celebration IPA. ❤️
GPS steered me wrong, I used the lot to make a u turn and grab a muffin from the back of trunk. Was there for a total of 29 seconds when a associate came up to me and said "Bagby's is closed and you need to leave!" He stood there with his arms crossed and stared at me until we left. He is probably used to dealing with vagrants all day so I kinda get it but it left a bad taste in my mouth.

Pretty basic menu nothing wow. Food could use some seasoning. Mac n cheese was good but recommend to share it. Great atmosphere to hangout with friends, indoor/ outdoor seating. Would return just for drinks instead.Parking: Parking lot designated for the restaurant is across the street and along the restaurant borders.Wheelchair accessibility: Elevator to access the second level

Use to love this place. Ordering system is a cluster. Have to use an app. You basically don't have a server. They charge for condiment sides and ridiculous pricing for them at that. No fountain drinks only bottles. Can't make bloody Marys. Staff was nice, food was ok.

I love Bagby's! The food is always delicious. The beer and drinks are top notch, and you can always count on a fun, relaxed and family friendly atmosphere. Tons of seating. All around always a favorite!Kid-friendliness: There are tons of seating areas and options, and the environment is chill and family friendly -- no stress if your littles get a bit loud because is a relaxed and fun, not too loud -- but enough that a little kid noise isn't bothersome to folks.

Really nice brewery, and it's HUGE!!! Lots of seating options. We ordered a flight of beers, my favorite was Struggle Bus American Pale Ale, very drinkable, crisp and light. We had zucchini sticks and the wedge salad, both tasted great but the breading on the zucchini didn't stick well and we both thought the bleu cheese dressing on the wedge was a bit thin. Check out the rooftop seating, look hard and you really can see the ocean! FYI they seem to prefer it if you you the app to order.
Nice open location, good food, and good drinks.
