    Still a good place for afternoon cocktails and people watching if, weather permitting, you can sit outside. CritDicks

    We went here today. Looking for something decent and quick. . It has nice view of the water. We sat in outside patio area. The food was sustainable. I enjoyed my chicken lettuce wraps. Fish combo has a generous size. They have a long happy hour 11-6 , and til 8:30pm. Our services was hospitable. Parking near by.

    What an incredible experience! A stunning waterfront restaurant with amazing seafood, a fun coastal vibe, and an absolutely outstanding staff. Angie and her team went above and beyond, bringing out all their favorites -- the snapper, fish and chips, and a fantastic spread of appetizers that had everyone at the table raving. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. We were celebrating Lucciano's graduation from the Marines, and this was the perfect place to do it. From the service to the food to the setting, everything exceeded our expectations. Can't recommend this spot enough for celebrations, family gatherings, or just a great meal by the water!

    Happy Hour starting at 11am? Oh, yeah! We sat on the patio and had a beautiful view of the harbor. Our server, I think her name was Katie, was friendly, helpful and attentive. To drink, we ordered a glass of chardonnay and a bloody mary. My bloody mary was spicy and had a good kick! To eat, we tried the calamari, fried zucchini, the wedge salad and the ahi poke nachos. The calamari were big, plump strips of calamari battered and deep fried. They were fresh and tasty. The zucchini was fresh and had a panko-ish breading and also deep fried. The wedge salad was just the right size for a small entree (after having fried food) and the poke was delicious as well. My only complaint was the pickled ginger on the poke, not a fan. We will definitely be going back to try more of the happy hour options...there were a lot! 10/10

    This is an old school establishment in the harbor with pretty views and seating inside and out. When you walk in, you can tell it's frequented by locals. People swear by the happy hour. I have been here a few times. Once pre covid for a breakfast buffet and the other times for happy hours. I have always enjoyed what I ordered. They have specials by the day and they send email specials if you subscribe. 3 of us came for dinner on this occasion. They had a $10 off salmon coupon and I just ordered happy hour specials. We all had a drink, a hh margarita, beer & a virgin mango drink. The server was beyond nice and accommodating. My friends each ordered coconut crusted salmon which looked pretty and tasted good. They both enjoyed every bite. I had a Caesar salad which was good but had a touch too much dressing and steamed clams. The clams were cooked well and a generous portion but there were a few that were unopened. The server continued to check on us frequently and kept our water filled. I will definitely come back sunset happy hour here is really nice!

    This was my second visit with my last being two years ago. I had a blueberry vodka lemonade. It had a good amount of liquor. We ordered spinach dip but since we didn't specify, it came with our food. I had the shrimp quesadilla. It was very good. I like that the shrimp were chopped. My husband ordered the linguini with clam sauce. He wasn't really happy with his choice. The pasta was overcooked. A number of clams were empty. However the taste of the dish was good. Sitting on the patio with views is amazing. We will go back and try more options. The server did apologize for the miscommunication.

    Great happy hour and right on the harbor. Nice to grab a little appetizer and drink before walking along the harbor. Great service and staff. They have HH daily til 6pm.

    Happy hour: Calamari Tempura, Sauteed Chilean Mussels, Ahi Nachos (sauce on the side, extra charge for avocado)

    Classic Oside spot. A bit grungy, harbor views, and standard American fare. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Oside. Parking is plentiful in the lot or on the street. Walk down the street after to see the Oceanside sign. They boast a happy hour every day from 11 AM to 6 PM. It feels gimmicky, kind of like those sushi places that are perpetually 50% off. Food was decent for what it is.

    Picked this place randomly while visiting the area. No reservation needed. Sat outside next to the water, beautiful setting. The lemon cream sauce on the red snapper was the cherry on the cake! So delicious! Pilaf was done perfectly. Only complaint, my veggies were on the hard side. Daily special was a tad fishy but you'll get that with Sea Bass. Service was exceptionally fast and on point! Will definitely return if in the area.

    Nice happy hour, As soon as I sat down at the bar, the bartender greeted me and I ordered a glass of wine. The happy hour Pinot Gratio was pretty good, better than some of the other happy hour wines I've had. I also ordered a crab cake, it didn't have as much crab as I thought it should have for $11 each, but the flavors were good and I enjoyed the salsa on top. The clam chowder was good, well, seasoned and creamy all the things you like in the clam chowder. It was pretty good for happy hour, and I was satisfied when I left. The bartender was attentive and served everything with a smile.

    Fish & chips

    Showed up at 8:27 ordered fish & chips from Alan ( bartender) great atmosphere and fantastic service food absolutely delicious the ambiance great the ukulele club was very friendly and sounded good

    Oceanside Broiler's happy hour kicks off at 11am (bless) with plenty of $6-$12 plates and drinks. We had Baja fried fish tacos, oysters, and some chowder... food was decent, nothing mind-blowing, but it came out fast. The real star? That gorgeous harbor view and sunny outdoor seating. Yes, the wood inside is a little sticky, but that's part of the old-harbor charm. Bonus points for the dog-friendly front patio. I'll keep coming back for cheap drinks and harbor view!

    Food is good specially the calamari. We had the swordfish and it also taste good. The service we received from Jorge is splendid. I would rate our weekend lunch experience with 4.3

    Clamp chowder is very full of clams,, and quite good

    It's actually very good and fresh. Not rubbery like some places. My party loved it

    Do they take reservations? Thanks to the crew here on Yelp - yes they do. The only caveat is that they only take reservations for larger parties. Table for 4 is just a walk in.

On top of that, this place gets EXTREMELY busy, and honestly, it's not worth all the hype. We understand restaurants can get crowded, but the overall experience simply did not match the reputation. Definitely not the quality or environment we expected from Texas Roadhouse.

We arrived early for our reservation, so we walked the pier while we waited, and I appreciated that they texted us once our table was ready.

We started with the hot sourdough bread and maple spice butter, which was addicting. I also ordered the wedge salad and liked that the blue cheese wasn't overly pungent. My filet mignon was cooked perfectly and very tender, though I do wish it came out hotter since it was basically room temperature when served. The whipped potatoes were buttery and creamy, and the short rib was rich, flavorful, and fall-apart tender. The creamed spinach could've used more salt in my opinion. They were definitely heavy-handed on the spices as the spicy kick at the end caught me off guard. We ended the night with the flourless chocolate cake and wow... definitely worth the calories. Service was also great. Leo was attentive throughout the meal, and his team always made sure our waters stayed full. Solid spot for a girls' night or date night in Oceanside.

The broccoli and ribeye was just too much. The broccoli florets were cooked over fire until it was basically ash in mouth. Ribeye quality was decent, but again, the char taste covered any meat flavor. Left much to be desired. Unique experience. Would not be back again.

We settled on Oceanside in hopes of finding good food, as our weekend (end of Feb) had been full of a poor results. This place came up as very well rated on Yelp, as my friend and I searched for places to eat. It was a Saturday night with great weather. The red flag I should have read into was that the lone guy working that night was a one man show. He was doing it all in the front of the house. I tried to get us a table to sit outdoors but he just couldn't get to the table to clean it. After about 20 minutes he finally came and just moved all the bowls to the empty table next to it and wiped it down. When my friends finally arrived we all sat down to sticky menus that had NO descriptions. What you see on the website is exactly what they have on the menu. We had to wait to ask the server/host what each menu item meant. It took a while to get our food from when we ordered. Thank goodness for good company, I didn't clock it. The food options were limited and keep in mind for those who have children, most of the options come with a spicy kick, you'll have to explicitly tell them "no spicy"! There was a party who had been sitting for a while before we got there and a kiddo took a bite of pizza and was crying, screaming from it being so spicy. With my ramen the portions are tiny for what you pay, with 1 piece of meat, not enough noodles. Flavor wise it was spicy and bland. We ordered a couple appetizers which were not very good. The edamame was overly salty and soaked in soy sauce and the karaage was probably the only good thing and that was a little overfried. No one in our party finished our food or took any of the leftovers home. Save yourself the trip, not worth trying the "unique foods".
