    Brussel sprouts and cauliflower with feta
    Con C.

    Server was knowledgeable, attentive and very talkative. Came on a friday night and service was a a bit slow, but restaurant was crowded and to be expected. Porkchop was very juicy, fish was very crispy and large pieces of fish. Brussel sprouts and cauliflower wasn't my thing, but others enjoyed it. Deviled eggs were unique. Nice restaurant with seating at the open window, bar, table or outside.

    Bruschetta

    I LOVED this place. From the outside it looks so casual, but once you walk in, it transforms into such a cozy looking establishment. I really loved how they have mix matched furniture set up all around the place. All the staff were so friendly and made sure our needs were taken care of. Their deviled eggs were phenomenal and the berry bruschetta was out of this world. Definitely going back!

    I think what really want me over with this place was the service. The people are so nice here! Our waiter Shawn was so welcoming and friendly. We tried the fried shrimp which was our favorite food item. In terms of drinks, we tried the blueberry pink lemonade, seltzer, the chart ale from Portland, and The mission cocktail. The chart was the best, but honestly all three drinks were a hit. This place is super close to the water in the pier and I would definitely recommend to come! Ambience is like a sports bar man cave that is super welcoming and a really unique place to be. Very much enjoyed my visit!

    This might be my new favorite happy hour spot in Oside! It is the perfect blend of classic bar vibes + good food and it's not too hectic. I came here for happy hour on a work day and it got progressively more busy but not obnoxious. We ordered wine, mac n cheese, and deviled eggs. Everything was delicious! I will dream of these deviled eggs until I can get them again. Soaked in pickle brine and topped with summer toppings - corn, jalapenos, feta, etc. Service was also fantastic!

    Teres major medium rare perfection.

    Been a year or two since my last visit, but the food and service have not changed, still excellent. I had the teres major special, medium rare. Perfectly cooked and delicious. I do wish that the sauce was on the side. It was delicious, but I prefer to taste the beef. Teres major is a beefy and special cut, and all it needs is a little flaky salt. The sauce on the side would have been perfect. All said, I'd recommend it to anyone!

    We are from out of town and I always like a restaurant with a funny name. I noticed they had good reviews so we decided to stop in. The staff was very nice. The restaurant is full of fun and is very lively. The table that we sat at is very old and is handmade and we really appreciate the decor. For dinner I had a ribeye steak with a salad and it was delicious. My husband and son enjoyed some beef short ribs and they were pretty good as well. We really enjoyed this restaurant unfortunately we didn't have time to stay for Dessert but maybe next time we will. By the way, they have the best macaroni and cheese I've ever had in my entire life!

    Charcuterie layou

    Attended a pre wedding festivity here for my cousin's son and soon to be wife. My cousin and her husband selected this place and ai have to say what a great choice. the food was delicious and the service was excellent. We were in a side room separate from the main restaurant. From what I could tell they worked really well with what the groom's parents wanted to do. There was a large charcuterie table with savory and sweet bites. A variety of vegetables, fresh fruit, cheeses, and meats. Beautifully displayed. Dinner was chicken, short rib I believe, mashed potato's and a salad. Their cocktails were beautifully presented and well balanced. Would definitely visit if in the area again to enjoy the regular food just because of how impressive they were in accommodating the special event.

    Over all a nice night. We were greeted and sat quickly. Our server was "on it." And made the experience better. The food was good though the burger was dry. The Tri tip sando was solid. The pork special with the gnocchi was stellar as was the cioppino. No photo dinner sorry. Yums.

    Teres Major (supposed to be with grits)

    I have been to Flying Pig before about 8 years ago on the East coast during a work trip, and was so stoked to see it in Oceanside. I recall it being a delicious and a wonderful dining experience. I have been looking forward to bringing my family and friends here all week. I am giving this restaurant 3 stars, because their food is still AMAZING and their staff is super nice and I believe deep down inside that they just had a REALLY OFF night. We had reservations for a party of 9 last night. The table was set up nicely and accommodated a few extra if needed, which I thought was cool. We started with some adult beverages: an Old Fashion, some Hotel Nacionals, a Fashionably Late, and a couple of beers. Everything started great. Dennis, our server was very cool and friendly and gave great suggestions. We ordered the mac and cheese sides and they were delicious with huge pieces of savory bacon in them. We also ordered the brussel sprouts which we never received and didn't even realize it until the very end when we received the bill because of all the other issues we had... but we'll get to that in a moment. But let's talk about what did go well... the delicious food we did get. We ordered the Pig burger which was sooo good and came with crispy fries. The fish for the fish and chips were 2 huge pieces and were delicious, came with yummy seasoned waffle fries and the tiniest tartar sauce and malt vinegar. I had to request 4 more for that amount of fish, but no big deal. Dennis brought out as much as we needed. Their ranch sauce is really good too. Don't judge just because it's a little peachy'ish and looks thousand island'ish. lt's still some very good ranch. My son said he really tasted the bitterness of beer in the fish batter but maybe it was just in that piece he had; I could not taste it in the piece of fish I ate. The short rib was really tender and delicious... the sauce was just a tad salty for my taste, but the mashed potatoes it sat on sort of balanced it out a little. The fried chicken thighs were really cooked well, juicy, crispy and seasoned perfectly. We ordered two Teres Major steaks. One rare with mashed potaoes, one medium rare with grits. The rare one came out medium and without any mushrooms, took FOREVEEERR to remake (the rest of the table was almost done with our meals...& not sure why it took so long since the restaurant wasn't that busy and it's a RARE steak). The one with grits came with mashed potatoes instead of grits. Dennis was super nice and apologetic and corrected both mistakes when we let him know. He then brought us a big bowl of grits. The manager (blonde gal) came over and apologized for the mistakes tonight, letting us know that usually does not happen, and let us know she'd be comping one of our steaks and would be bringing a dessert on them. We thought that was very nice of them. However, as nice a gesture. we never did receive that dessert. My husband handed Dennis his credit card before the bill arrived (before our friends could try to pay the bill) and not sure why but our bill never came, and we never saw Dennis again either after he boxed up our leftovers and took the card. We had to ask another server for our bill because we had been waiting for quite a while... and needed to head out as we were already late to meet friends at a lounge. The other server came back with my husband's credit card, the bill (that's when I finally noticed the brussel sprouts sides we never got but were charged), and let the server know. He immediately apologized and took it off the bill. So I'm not sure what happened last night at Flying Pig...missing and charged brussel sprouts, steak overcooked, missing mushrooms, mashed potatoes instead of grits, then a comped dessert promised but never delivered. WOW. I had to apologize to my friends. I was totally hyping up this place and it underdelivered. They automatically got their 20% gratuity for our party of 9 but anyone that knows me knows how much I absolutely love great service combined with exceptional food and that could have easily been a 30-35% tip had they been on their A game! We only come to Oceanside once a year. Maybe we will try again next year. Maybe not. This trip was about trying out a bunch of different restaurants and giving honest reviews on dishes/businesses we haven't tried before, or in a long time. Do better guys.

    Rock fish sando with shoe string Truffle Fries
    Chien S.

    Great location right up the street from the beach in Oceanside, CA. A local favorite with great service and delicious food. Went there about 1:30pm on a Monday afternoon and the place was pretty dead. Super quiet, had maybe 2 more people come in while my friend and I were there. I ordered the Rockfish sando with shoestring truffle fries. My friend ordered the fried chicken sando with slaw. Both of our sandwiches were DELICIOUS! Fish was cooked SO PERFECT. SUPER FLAKY, super fresh. Shoe string truffle fries were just the right amount of truffle flavor with a solid CRUNCH on them. *chefs kiss* The fried chicken sandwich was basically 2 chicken tenders in a sandwich. Nice crispy on the tenders. Crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Great seasoning on it with a nice fresh and soft bun. The server was super friendly, attentive and gave us great suggestions on the food. Definitely would be back the next time I'm in town.

    Oh my goodness!! Where do I start? I wish I could give more than 5 stars. We stumbled upon Flying Pig during our most recent spring visit to Oside, and I can guarantee we won't miss eating here during any future visits. I would say the 5 star review started with the initial phone call to check availability. There is not one person we interacted with that was not genuinely upbeat and enthusiastic about what they were doing. We were seated right away and everyone was happy we were there. Shawn, Dennis & Eddie totally added to our experience. Super positive!! The place is really cute, inside and out. The decor is clever and makes you feel comfortable. It's very inviting. There is a lot of seating and a bar area. You could come alone or with a large family. We ordered some standard drinks and then moved on to the menu. I am the deviled egg queen in my home and circle. This is the first time I have had deviled eggs where I immediately wanted to change something about my own recipe. The fried chicken thighs were perfectly made and every detail of each plate was well thought out. Mashed potatoes and gravy are one of my many weaknesses. They nailed it. We made sure to order the banana pudding for dessert. Do what ever you need to do to make sure you have room for dessert. A-May-zing!! Flying Pig is doing everything right. Make sure you take time to come by for a meal. This place is fantastic and will take care of you!

    Excellent!!! What a great find in Oceanside. The staff were all friendly and took great care of us. The food is what's stands out, it was really good. I had their Teres Majors steak which was incredible and cooked perfectly. We also had the short ribs which were also so good. The restaurant interior is modern with a cool vibe. I definitely will return. Enjoy!!!!

    Lew W.

    The service from Jordan outshined the food, which is saying something because all our dishes were amazing! The grits that come with the country fried pork are some of the best I've ever had. It's a fun vibe, too. The benignes were as good or better than any you could get in NOLA. Burger was loaded with flavor. We will definitely be back! Cheers!

    Ask the Community - Flying Pig Pub & Kitchen

    Do they take reservations?

    Yes, I emailed them and they responded pretty quickly.

    The last time I was there, the restroom was gross! Has it improved in cleanliness? Deb H.

    Absolutely... I was there recently...and the toliet was very clean...

    Are you dog friendly?

    Yes they are. There was a table near us that had a dog lying under the table.

    Do they take reservations?

    No they do not!

    Where is closest parking?

    Hi there, there’s street parking all around the restaurant. On busier days I always find parking on side streets with no issues. In particular, Surfrider always has parking which is located behind our building to the south. Hope this helps!

    What time is your happy hour?

    Tuesdays-Fridays 2:30-5:30PM! (as of Dec 2025)

    Hoping for good non-alcoholic wine or cocktails. Do you offer?

    Good morning! We have very skilled bartenders that make fresh cocktails to order. We’d be happy to accommodate your request. We do not carry any NA wine or beer at this time. Thank you for the inquiry.

    What time is their happy hour?

    Other than salad, are their any vegan options?

    Not really. It would be great if they did, because they are masters at food and those of us that have vegan/vegetarian kids would be able to eat there as a family!

    How is the outdoor seating right now? Did they add more?

    I was there last week and felt they had a good amount of outdoor seating. It was extended to the parking lot next to the real estate office.

    Do you sell Rum Drinks? I am not into beer but i do like a Good rum like JPB Rockin Rum. Do you sell it? It goes great with a meal.

    Yes sir

    Gluten free dinner options?

    There was a person at the table next to me and they asked about gluten free options. I heard the waitress say yes and they stayed so they must have found options that worked for them.
