Service was great. Food was good. Like the location on the harbor and the atmosphere. They had the best dessert and apple martinis.

Food was on . Price was reasonable . Our server was attentive it just didn't wow me. read more

Awesome ambience, however, stay away from Cassandra- not the best waitress. Great for happy hour.

Another excellent meal at the Broiler. From super service from Roman, to the exemplary chicken piccata, better than any Italian place even. Clam chowder here is creamy and full of good stuff. Side substitutions were easy and appreciated. Drinks are always very good. A beautiful place to spend time and dine in Oceanside. read more

Tho place is a great family restaurant with good food and a laid back vibe that features a view of the harbor. the sever was very kind and kept frequently checking in on us. The portions are pretty big for the price and the food is great with a very diversified menu with delicious entrees and appetizers to select from. Honestly if you have the time, I think this place is worth a shot read more

Service was very mindful and wasn't overbearing which fits the atmosphere. Food was delicious, hot, and well priced! Definitely would make my way back to visit again. read more

We went here for an Anniversary dinner . The location is amazing right on the ocean next to the docks . We tried the coconut shrimp for an appetizer. The shrimp was tough not the best . Disappointing. We got the teriyaki steak with mashed potatoes & vegetable . The steak was cooked good just not seasoned very good . The mashed potatoes were good but had large chunks of onions . The prices are good . We got dessert it was amazing! We loved the mud pie ! I would recommend this . Chunks of almonds in each bite . We also got the Berry cobbler this was just Ok . Not crispy at all it came with ice cream . The service is good ! I would come back for the mud pie ! They have coke products. read more

So my mom, and my son and my fiance are just here over the weekend before Easter tomorrow and we decided to try Oceanside boiler for dinner, and I was really impressed! The garlic cheese toast was amazing! And the mahi fish taco from the happy hour menu was so fresh and flavorful! Couldn't stop eating it haha. And my fiance said these were the BEST chicken tenders he's ever had!! Definitely recommend this place if you're craving seafood or just want something comforting like chicken tenders. It wasn't super crowded, but definitely popular! The server was amazing as I couldn't decide between the crab cake and the mahi taco and she was super honest and I loved it! The ambiance in the restaurant was very aquatic and loved it! There was even a birthday as we left. read more

Oceanside Broiler - Garlic bread with marinara sauce - Seafood Near Me - Oceanside, California

Invited by a visiting friend this was my first time dining here. The service was prompt and friendly. I ordered from the Happy Hour menu. The #CharbroiledOysters was my favorite of the four items ordered. I'm not sure if $7 for two is a deal The #WedgeSalad was a bit wilted and a lot of dressing. However it could be I just didn't get a good one. My friend ordered the wedge too and his looked fresher and didn't have as much dressing. The #ShrimpTempura had a heavy batter and looked more like how they batter Fish & Chips. The calamari itself was a good cut. I enjoyed the #GarlicTruffleHerbFries I was bothered at first by a fly and after a few shoos it went away. If I come back I would try ordering from their regular menu, read more

I love coming here for happy which is EVERYDAY from 11-6. Great options, staff is always friendly. Great views on both patios (doggie friendly on the front patio). One of my favorites are the mussels!! So good!! I also love their clam chowder, chicken lettuce cups, ahi nachos and the crème brûlée. They also carry one of my favorite beers: space dust. I definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

My family and I recently ventured here because my dad was telling me how good Oceanside Broiler was. My dad loves the deals and Oceanside Broilers prices are fair without lacking quality. They also are dog friendly which makes my dad happy. We decided to order a ton of items off the happy hour menu. We ordered the Crab Cake, Seared Ahi Tuna, Oysters, Fried Zuchinni, Clam Chowder, and the Coconut Shrimp. I personally didn't try the Crab Cake, but the others were happy with it. They said it was mostly crab which is unusual for the price. The Seared Ahi Tuna was amazing. The price for it was $10 and was served with eight pieces. We ended out ordering three of these because of how good they were. My Father was excited to have some oysters and he said these were amazing. They weren't too large and he said they were fresh. The Fried Zucchini was tasty and in the ranch was good. The rest of the group really enjoyed it. Personally I wouldn't order it, but it was good. The Clam Chowder was the only item that I wasn't impressed with. It lacked flavor and the texture felt like it had been sitting all day. I wouldn't recommend this, but maybe it was an off day. The Coconut Shrimp was my second favorite item. They were large and covered in coconut. The sauce with it and a little lemon was amazing. For the price, it was a great dish. The back patio faces the harbor and it's a nice little spot. If you have a dog, it is the perfect spot for them and they have a side exit if you need to take them to the bathroom. I forget our servers name, but she was amazing. She had a great attitude and was quick with bringing items. I was being a tad of a pain asking for extras and she was so sweet about it. She told me that she would just bring the lemon tree over as I asked for so many. I'd give our experience a 8.5/10. read more

Went here on a Saturday for dinner. Got seated quickly. Restaurant inside was empty. We wanted outside but were quickly ushered to a table and told that outside seating would be 45 minutes. Ok. Waitress comes over. We are all chit chatting around the table and she only takes drink and appetizer orders for half of us (party of 8). We don't realize what happened until people started showing up with our appetizers before we even had our drinks. Needless to say my MIL was not happy since she had been talking the place up the entire way there. Like she was very offended that she wasn't asked to order a drink or appetizer by the time our appetizers had already come. And rightfully so. The waitress was flustered, we were flustered. It just laid a cruddy foundation for the meal. And now for the meal. The total for 8 of us including 2 kids was $400. We had a few appetizers and some alcohol. Was it worth it? Food was good but not $50 a person good. My husband's $30 meal was literally 3 scallops and a skewer of super-market sized shrimp. Drinks from the bar? Sub par. Michelada mix was straight Clamato. Cosmo came clear and that's where I knew the waitress had no idea what was going on. It's a cosmo, girl. Where's the cranberry? MIL states she only comes here for happy hour and we see why. You're served in the bar area for happy hour. Appetizers are on special and so are drinks. She's always had great service. Says it's way better for the money. Looks like we'll have to try out HH if we ever give this place another chance. read more

Food is good, I recommend the Ahi Nachos and Mahi Taco. Service was great . Outdoor seating has fabulous view. Inside ambiance is ok.

We became familiar with this location when we visited the fish market on Sundays several weeks ago. We decided to return and try this restaurant for a light lunch. The day was perfect so we sat outside on the front patio facing the side marina. They seem to have I think an all day happy hour so we opted to have a few of those items. Overall, the food was pretty good, especially for the value. Service was super friendly and helpful and she was very nice to our dog that we also brought with. We probably would return again and try some other items. It was just a really nice fun, relaxing lunch. Parking is straight out in front of the location. read more

We arrived at 2 p.m. for an afternoon beverage on the lanai. The host led us to a small table for two facing the wall. There were three (maybe four) open tables available. The host said they do not allow two people to sit at a table for six and they were all reserved. Really? We come to this restaurant often as we have a boat in the harbor. With this unfriendly attitude, and lack of interest in business, we left and went to another establishment. I hope their "reservations" arrived on time to fill all those tables! read more

We walked over to sit on the patio and enjoy the weather and have a bite to eat. They have a great happy hour menu with small plates. I loved their oysters on the half shell and ahi tuna nachos. Fish tacos were enjoyed by my nephew. My son had chicken tenders and fries. My other nephew got the French dip and wasn't crazy for it but it was his first time having one. My sister in law had the wedge salad and coconut shrimp and enjoyed them. We had truffle fries, calamari steaks, and wings as appetizers. They have really good fries. Everyone was friendly. Our waiter was knowledgeable and helpful. read more

Food and service is always good- usually come for happy hour all day. Can't beat the ambiance on the harbor so it's a great place to bring visitors or just grab a bite in a nice area.

Oceanside Broiler - Outdoor patio at The Broiler - Seafood Near Me - Oceanside, California

Very strange experience. Seems like a place that wants to go under. Place was empty on a Friday night at 6:30. We sat at the bar. Bartender was efficient, like a robot. Zero personality. So much for hospitality. I order the top Sirloin, my friend orders fish and chips. Top sirloin comes out and it's tiny, I ask about the portion size. The bartender has manager come over. He agrees to replace my order with the fish and chips. Okay, took about 20 minutes to replace my order... Seems like a long time to prepare fish and chips - whatever. Check arrives and I could not read it, so I ask the bartender to explain the check for me. He's evidently pissed at me, barely has the patience to speak. I ask , "is there something I've done to anger you?" He tells me "just leave, nobody here wants you in this restaurant." I've never been spoken to in this way by a server. I was a server and a bartender while in college. This would get you fired back then. I was taken aback by this guy's demeanor. Needless to say, no tip for him after that! On the way out I mentioned this behavior to the manager. He said he would speak with the employee. By now it's only about 7:15. Place is still empty, maybe 10 customers. We left and were talking about all of this for a few minutes out by our cars. While we were waiting in the parking lot, this bartender comes out and confronts me. Yelling, "how dare you tell the manager about me! " I've never heard of anyone doing this. Absolutely ghetto behavior. I called the manager and explained all of this with him. I can't recommend this place to anyone. It seems like they just want to go bankrupt. It's a shame too, because they have one of the nicest locations for a restaurant. read more

I wanted it to be a 20th anniversary to remember so I ask my wife where she wanted to go and she being a creature of habit suggested Oceanside Broiler. I said remember last time it wasn't so good and she said maybe they changed chefs, so I gave in because the ambiance, and the waitress's where very nice. Sunday night and there was plenty of parking and the main dining area look kinda empty. We like dining alfresco and was offered either the front or back patios. The front patio seemed more romantic so that's what we chose. Irish the waitress was very attentive and nice and me always looking to get a little extra dropped the hint that it was our 20th anniversary. Other then a a congratulations that was about all we got except a pretty bad tasting Cosmopolitan. Irish understood and brought me another drink. I had the fish and chips which are usually hard to mess up and the were pretty good and the fries were crispy but the coleslaw (which I always give to my wife as she is a connoisseur of good coleslaw) was rated at less then par, my wife said that the cabbage must have been grated early this morning and sauerkraut does not make for good coleslaw. My wife's grilled salmon look delicious and tasted great unfortunately the grilled veggies were not cook not even a little. See how being nice and giving away your salad can make for a good dinner? I don't know if we will be back and that's too bad as it's a great harbor location and it is an Oceanside icon. read more

Oceanside Broiler - Fish & Chips with tainted coleslaw - Seafood Near Me - Oceanside, California

The food has gone to crap! My meal consisted of a 2 oz snapper with barely any Béarnaise sauce, and vegetables were very undercooked. The steamed clam appetizer was underwhelming, we got a plate of shells that we had a pick through them to get to the bottom. Server didn't bring us a plate to put our shells and he pretended not to hear us when we asked for a plate. Cook skimped on the clam broth and it tasted sweet like someone spilled a glass of wine on it. We expected the fruit cobbler to have fresh fruit that's baked with a pie crumble but this version was a gelatinous dark fruit glob on sponge cake with granola on top, gross! I try to support small businesses and local establishments but Oceanside Broiler has gone to crap, food is pretty much bottom of the barrel scraps and not worth paying for! Your chef sucks!! BJ's Brewhouse, a chain, is ten times better for food, quality and value. read more

Exceptional service, flawless fresh seafood & harbor views. We dined at Oceanside Broiler and had an incredible experience from start to finish. Jennifer was our server and she went above and beyond--professional, warm, and perfectly timed. She made sure everything hit 10/10. What we ordered: * Red Snapper - flaky, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. * Teriyaki Mahi-Mahi - juicy with a great balance of sweet and savory. * Salmon - beautifully seared with a tender inside. * Poke Nachos - fresh tuna, crunchy base, killer flavor combo. * Fish & Chips - crispy, golden batter and great texture on the fish. Highlights: * Service: Jennifer nailed it--attentive without hovering, on point with recommendations, and delivered true hospitality. * Food: Every dish was cooked just right. Zero fishy aftertaste. Great portion sizes and presentation. * Ambience: Beautiful harbor views, laid-back yet classy vibe, and comfortable seating indoors and out. Pro tips: * Ask for patio seating around sunset--views are unreal. * Don't miss the happy hour (11AM-6PM) if you're into starters and cocktails. * Parking was easy, and the whole space felt well-run and clean. Jennifer made the whole night feel like a special event. This is how dining out should feel. Definitely coming back--and recommending to everyone I know. Oceanside Broiler delivered a flawless night. read more

Oceanside roiler is located at the Oceanside harbor. It's a great place to sit outside and enjoy the boats coming and going. It was a beautiful Tuesday afternoon. I came around 5pm, just in time for happy hour. You can sit anywhere to eat from the happy hour menu and it goes until 6 p.m. which is great. We got the last outdoor table and it was dirty. Our waitress, Deberah, noticed it and cleaned it. We ended up choosing everything from the happy hour menu that way we can taste test their food. We got the cup of Clam chowder. It had plenty of clams in it. 8/10. Next was the ahi tuna nachos. This one was my favorite. I liked the chunks of tuna and the drizzle of sauce 10/10. The coconut shrimp was pretty good. It came out crispy and coated with coconut. 10/10. The crab cake was also very good with mango salsa. 10/10. The garlic fries were OK. It wasn't my favorite. I wish the parmesan would stick to it better. 7/10 read more

Coming from a New Orleans person - I had high hopes for a seafood restaurant on the water.. the snapper was fine, shrimp scampi was "good".. that was feedback from people from iowa.. the scallops to say "seared" came drenched in sauce, no crisp on the outside, and squishy. I was so excited to experience pacific seafood but was let down, only savior was the kind service... I'd find elsewhere read more
