    Marina view from the out door seating

    Came to the Oceanside Broiler to celebrate my friend's bday. What a lovely afternoon. Service was top notch, food was great. They have an all day type happy hour menu. We tried the following, ahi nachos, fried zucchini, coconut shrimp,mini cheese burger, tuna avocado sandwich,clam chowder, the wedge salad and oysters. Everything was delicious. We ate everything. The service was stellar. Location lovely, outside seating over looks the Marina. Give them a try!

    Giving it a 5 because it was a great atmosphere and I sat outside where the breeze was breezing. Now for the review, my clam linguine had barely any clams and mostly shells. I didn't want to say anything as we had a large party but please pay attention or order something else. The Diet Coke was crisp and the bread was fresh. Also the server was attentive and friendly. Over all good experience but I did leave hungry as my meal had only carbs and no protein.

    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!

    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!

    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

    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.

    Big surprise! Great service, nice views and reasonably priced good food, nothing to complain. We didn't know why we hadn't been here sooner. We enjoyed their airy open interior and nicely maintained facility. Our server, Daniel was a excellent worker, friendly and knowledgeable with a professional mannerisms. We found a new place to visit in Oceanside Harbor!

    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.

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

    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 harbor view.

    Another birthday celebrationHeather was our server and did a great jobManagers Warren and Johnny both stopped by to check on us. They are real gentlemen. Terrific food, great serviceWe will be back later this monthCheers, Walt

    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.

    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.

    Is the Sunday brunch a buffet? There's no info about it on their website. What are the brunch times, and how much per adult?

    How's the clam chowder?

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

    How is the calamari?

    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.

    Yes, they do take reservations although I haven't needed a reservation for lunch but dinner can sometimes be very busy.

    What time and days is happy hour?

    I know there is happy hour every day, but I think the times changed

    Does this have outdoor seating and beach views?

    Yes, they have a nice patio area. In the front of the restaurant and a large side patio area. They are pet friendly. We had a fabulous lunch and the service outstanding. The view of the boats was a beautiful scene and relaxing

My fiancé had the prime rib dip, and he really enjoyed it as well. We also started with the spinach artichoke dip, which was absolutely excellent and one of our favorite parts of the meal.

The ambiance is impeccable--cozy, charming, and perfect for a date night.

The appetizers were embarrassingly small, three shrimp on a cocktail plate with a spoonful of cocktail sauce was their shrimp appetizer. I chuckled when I saw it (just a reaction) the other appetizer was the potato skins and it was 4 skins and a decent potion but also served oddly on a tiny plate. The part that bothers me is the dessert. You get a choice of carrot or chocolate cake for dessert. If you have had their carrot or chocolate cake before it's a multi layer cake 2 or 3 layers. They brought out a single layer cake (half portion). It wasn't edible, the chocolate cake - the same. When you buy a slice of cake from the grocery store it's a small square piece of cake, this was that slice except then slice in half (think a small triangle), so not only do you not get the dessert that they normally serve you don't even get a standard slice of cake you get a half of a slice. The cake was dry and not tasty at all. It was so bad, I had to ask the wait staff - "Is this your normal cake now?" They replied "No we buy that cake and give out the small portion just for the price fix menu to save on costs" I would be less annoyed if the menu at least stated "mini cake" or petite portion but they deceivingly state chocolate cake and carrot cake as if you are going to get their chocolate cake or carrot (not a half slice of a grocery single layer dried up cake). I wish I took a picture of it for you to see, hopefully some others post the desserts from price fix menu and share and you can compare to their standard slice cakes. While the steaks were fine, I probably won't be coming back.

You are first greeted with a campfire smell as soon as you reach the entrance, and indoor the cooks and the staff along with the seating build on this ambience.

We also ordered the Ribeye, with the $18 side of gratin potatoes which were great and campfire style. We also had the fish of the day which I recommend skipping. The staff went over and beyond with the service. If we ever come back, we would not get the ribeye and fish again though. Will likely get the broccoli again and try the chicken "campfire style".

They had other really interesting sounding mocktails too, like there was actually thought put into a drink that didn't contain alcohol. I was visiting Carlsbad for the first time and wanted to check out as many restaurants as I could in my short time here so I just ordered something small to get the experience of this place. I chose the crudo: yellowtail, amarillo, charred tomato and guava. The dish was gorgeous, stunning, beautiful and tasted divine. Presentation so on point, flavors, freshness, just so yum. The bartender was so great as well, we made small talk and he told me that if I was into non-alcoholic drinks and fish that I should check out Jeune et Jolie next so I did just that. Appreciated the friendly conversation, great atmosphere and stellar food and drink. Will definitely come back here next time I have an opportunity to visit. Also, they have Baked Alaska on their menu. Imagine that around a cozy fire? Sign me up for that.

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".
