    Full Slab Ribs
    JD B.

    Let me first tell you how great Nate our server was. We sat at one of the larger booth tables which was full of plates. Nate was super observant and took care of our table of 6 people super well. He frequently refilled our drinks, picked up empty dishes, offered to make a mixed sauce for me so it's spicier, and one person from our table didn't like their drink so he brought an alternative. Ana the Manager helped us split the bill when we couldn't figure out the computer thing. Lol There isn't a way to pick the items I want to pay for which seems intuitive but the device would only let us split the bill total into parts. That's a corporate issue though and she did her best to accommodate us. The food is so good. Don't even get me started on the free super hot bread with that yummy butter and those fried pickle appetizers. I don't know what I was thinking getting the full rack of ribs after stuffing my face with free bread and peanuts and that appetizer. I could only eat 1/3 the rack but the rest of the rack made for excellent lunch the next day.

    Kudos to Texas Roadhouse in Oceanside for being so well prepared on Father's Day! We had a big group of 10 and called ahead to be placed on the waitlist. We arrived and had no issues with getting our table quickly. The service was excellent with plenty of servers available. It was a busy day at the Texas roadhouse with many dads getting their steaks for the big day. The food was well prepared and came to the table quickly. Everything tasted delicious. I love that the servers did the Footloose dance for us. I really enjoy the warm dinner rolls with the whipped butter. So good! My steak was cooked to perfection. The dads at the table were very happy with their meals.

    Texas Roadhouse is a classic American roadhouse vibe: think warm, rustic, and loud in the best way. Our server Jaiden was fantastic. She anticipated everything before we asked i.e condiments already on the table, three rounds of fresh bread without asking, extra plates for appetizers, and an extra hot plate since I was sharing my entrée with my mom. Effortless, warm, and genuinely attentive in a way that's rare. The food matched the service. Everything came out hot and beautifully plated, ribeyes with perfect grill marks, loaded baked sweet potato, ribs were finger licking good, crispy appetizers. We arrived on a Friday around 5pm and only had a short wait, but by the time we finished dinner the place was packed so come early if you can. Texas Roadhouse Oceanside, you've earned a regular. I can't wait to bring my in-laws to try!

    Bryan was our Fantastic server! He was attentive and we had a fun conversation. The ribeye I picked out was incredibly grilled and seasoned. Didn't need any steak sauce. We redeemed the gracious military meal voucher and got the sirloin steak and that too was perfect as well. The whole staff was friendly and welcoming. Thank you Bryan for making our lunch so enjoyable!

    Brought my family here for the first time since moving to Oceanside. The food is okay honestly, a lot of it lacks flavor. The Mac and cheese especially is extremely bland. Mashed potatoes are okay, also kind of bland. The steak is also just okay, I feel like the flavor isn't really there either. The star of the show is the rolls and butter, & the shrimp skewers. Those are good! The service is exceptional though! All the staff is so so sweet and kind! The restaurant is lively, lots of seating & spacious. Cleanliness is okay. Tbh, it just reminds me of going to like Outback Steakhouse, nothing too special. Finding close parking depends on what time and day you go. Sometimes the lot can be empty, sometimes you'll have to park pretty far. Overall I rate it a 3 out of 5, for lack of flavor in food, has nothing to do with the staff themselves, they're all amazing!

    Always a yummy plate here, today we got the blooming onion I tried the chicken critters & sirloin combo & it was really good comes with a choice of 2 sides & and hubby got the bacon burger which was also tasty, I always usually sit at the bar! Fun environment & always a yummy dish!

    I've always loved this location of Texas Roadhouse. It might be due to growing up with this location, but either way it's great as long as you beat the crowd. Really easy to get seated for early dinners. Staff members are always helpful and kind too! Luckily, I've always had fantastic service with most servers being genuinely happy too. My go to is some variation of grilled or crusted chicken and a blooming onion for an app. The blooming onion is always fried to perfection and their dipping sauce is just the cherry on top. I absolutely have loved every version/piece of chicken I have ordered and during my last visit the herb crusted chicken was exceptional. Wonderfully packed with flavor and very juicy. Couldn't have been happier!

    Texas Roadhouse in Oceanside is one of my favorite places to go with my husband. We always order the same meals, and it's become one of our go-to date night spots. Even though it's usually packed, we're almost always seated surprisingly fast. The service is consistently good, and the staff is friendly and attentive. The music can be very loud at times, so it may not be the best place if you're looking for a quiet dinner. The food can occasionally be a little inconsistent, but whenever there's an issue, the staff is quick to make it right. Overall, we always have a great experience and keep coming back.

    You know!!! If it wasn't for my friend who told me she likes going here, I wouldn't have gone! I mean we have always talked about coming here but we never do! This time we really came and was not disappointed at all! The bread is warm and delicious! They have a great kids menu and specials! We got steak, which was Cooked perfectly! Sometimes you just really Need a good grilled steak and for the price here... WOW! Amazing! The Caesar salad was just ok though. Nothing great. But yeah, we will def be back!

    Early Bird Dinner Review. We were rushing to make it in by 5:30! I made a "reservation" =getting on the waiting list online on the road. A table was available immediately but we were still 15 minutes out. Walked into a pretty busy waiting area but they honored our spot and got seated right away at 5:20. The host was particularly polite asking if there were any celebrations. Our server, Hanna came right by and we said we needed to order Asap for the EBD! Drink order taken check. Dinner order taken in time. Onto the great stuff. Drinks were cheap and offered an extra shot for $2. My wife enjoyed margs, me beers and a house LI Ice tea(interesting bit not typical) My wife ordered the sirloin with mushrooms and salad. She loved it all. I got the chicken fried sirloin with soup and salad. Sides were great but the CFS was not typical. It was a thick sirloin with breading. I enjoyed it but wasn't what I was expecting. Allin All we had a great time with really fantastic service. A manager did a quick hello. The place was clean, packed and had a really good vibe to it. Staff was dancing in the aisles for some reason, cute. We have been to other TRs and loved the food but inconsistent. The Oceanside shop is top notch.

    It's loud, busy, and smells like buttery rolls the second you walk in. Hostess sat me fast, server was friendly and on it. Steak was solid--juicy, cooked right, great seasoning. Those rolls with cinnamon butter? Still dangerous. Fries were crispy, margarita was strong enough to make me forget I'm driving later. Good thing I brought my son. Only ding is it feels like a machine--every table gets the same schtick. But for the price and speed, it's hard to beat. 4 stars. Worth it if you're craving that Texas vibe and don't mind the noise.

    always packed, the TEXAS ROADHOUSE is an outrageously popular stop for all-things-beef with local cowpokes. I'm not much of a steak guy so my opinion shouldn't count for much, but if you're a Sizzler fan, this place is also affordable and frankly a better option. in spite of my aversion to meat-and-two (see later in the steak part of this review), being a true son of the south, all things fried are still my Kryptonite. started with the FRIED MUSHROOM appetizer -- definitely hit my sweet spot which, truth be told, is more of a grease stain. the HOUSE SALAD (fresh greens, cheddar cheese, tomato, eggs and croutons) with honey-dijon dressing was pretty meh. but, nobody goes to Waffle House for their salads (or Hooter's for their wings) so let's no judge the salad too harshly. Not a huge fan of entree cooking (meat, starch and a veggie) and TEXAS ROADHOUSE is definitely that kind of place. erred on the side of value (the 8oz cut is $3 an ounce and the16oz cut is under $2) and ordered the 16oz NEW YORK STRIP (with sautéed mushrooms) and figured I'd take home what I didn't finish. my steak was grilled 10 degrees past medium rare (as ordered) and on the dry side. still, that exceeded expectations and the lovely wife unit (who missed dinner) devoured the leftovers before I said "hello" to the pups. three-stars generously bumped to four for my dinner company, the quality of the service, and the cheeky cowboy decor. hey, what can I say? I'm a natural-born sucker for cowboy kitsch.

There was a drink nearby, but no one was sitting there, and nobody in the group ever mentioned that the seat was being saved. What made the situation worse was the way it was handled by the owner. Instead of approaching us professionally, she appeared to be intoxicated and immediately became confrontational. She told us that we "didn't know who we were messing with" and threatened to have us kicked out over what was clearly a simple misunderstanding. As a business owner, professionalism and customer service should come first. There was no reason for customers to be spoken to in such a disrespectful and intimidating manner. A calm conversation could have resolved the issue in seconds. As we were leaving, even some of the employees apologized to us for the owner's behavior and the way the situation was handled. It was clear that they recognized how inappropriate and unprofessional the interaction had been. It wasn't like it was that busy, there was enough seating area. The owner's behavior created an uncomfortable and hostile environment over something that should never have escalated in the first place. Being threatened and spoken down to by the person who owns the business is unacceptable. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this establishment to others.

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.

The staff has always been friendly, and it's definitely a fun place to meet up for drinks. But honestly, I really don't understand the hype around the food here. I don't think I've ever actually liked a meal I've ordered, let alone loved one. Every time I give it another chance, I leave disappointed. Last night I ordered the steak bowl and it had almost no flavor. It also came with a ton of large broccoli stems that were undercooked and woody. For $25, it just wasn't worth it. At this point, if I come back, it'll probably only be for drinks or maybe happy hour apps.

    Went here yesterday for a late lunch. They have a rooftop seating option that was perfect since the…read moreweather was so nice. It has a great view of the city! We got the Prosciutto and Arugula flatbread, which was very thin and crispy. The truffle fries were really good and we had them with their chipotle aioli. We also both got raspberry lemonades which were very sweet and refreshing. The coconut shrimp was really really good. My boyfriend was obsessed. I don't often love any kind of fried or battered shrimp but these were so good. I definitely want to come back!

    We stopped by Finney's Oceanside on July 4th while looking for a place that was open due to the…read moreIndependence Day festivities that weekend. Having previously been to the one up in Orange, we decided that this was the best place to go. We were seated right away on the rooftop deck with a pleasant view of the downtown area. Our server was very patient with us and once we were able to find an order that we both liked (we were both exhausted from the San Diego County fair) our food was delivered to us in under 10 minutes. Our meals were both very well done in terms of quality and presentation. The biggest issue that we had is that because there is so much corn on the menu and because we generally avoid corn whenever possible due to dietary restrictions it seemed to really minimize what we could get as even most salads had corn inside of it. The portions provided were perfect for the two of us and the bison burger in particular was delivered to my exact cooking specification. What's interesting is that this restaurant does not include any sides in terms of their menu offerings so what feels like a discount when you see a burger for $13 to $15 you actually make up for by having to spend 4 to 6 dollars on a side. Well, I understand that this may be easier for them with some of their customers. It is not a trend that I enjoy seeing as ultimately the prices are not as cheap as you would expect. They were a bit busier than expected on the holiday, but that's because so many other restaurants were closed so it looks like a large part of the crowd went to Oceanside as well just to go to Finney's. Overall, we enjoyed our experience, but the menu having limited options if anyone has a hard time with corn really puts a damper on it along with having to pay for the sides separately makes for a weird experience. Even with those in mind, I still give it four stars.

I've been there if few times so this is a legit 5-star review. The ambience...AMAZING. The service...SUPERB. The staff...SPECTACULAR. The food...FANTASTIC. The cocktails...CREATIVE. Sums it up! I can't wait to go back again. I highly recommend this restaurant to the Yelp Community :-)

They had a seriously impressive list of non-alcoholic options, which I loved. I went with the Yuzu berry spritz, served in a wine glass, I cannot tell you how many women poked in and asked what I was drinking because it was so pretty! Also it was $11, now that's the price to pay for a mocktail. I went to another bar and they charged me $22 for a non-alcoholic soda drink, get out of here with that. Their menu looked divine, so many delicious options and they had healthy choices which I so appreciated! I got the kale and quinoa salad with grilled chicken and it was ready in about 15. I will say the salad was delicious BUT when I got home to eat it, there was no dressing and no silverware, they had forgotten both. I ended up using hummus that I had in the fridge, luckily, however had I not had that the salad would have been tough to enjoy.

    10/10 experience! We came with a party of 7 for our monthly girls' night, and from the moment we…read morewalked in, the service was exceptional. We always joke that we can find amazing food but rarely amazing service, so Campfire completely exceeded our expectations. The starters and small plates absolutely stole the show for me. The crudo, burrata, cornbread (omg the cornbread!) and carrots were incredible, each dish was so thoughtful and packed with flavor. I know the broccoli is a fan favorite, but it was just a little too "campfired" for my personal taste. The flavors were still amazing, though. By the time the entrées came out, I was honestly so full that I don't think I gave them the attention they deserved! And the cocktails... WOW. Some of the best drinks I've ever had at a restaurant. The King Rama (I think that's what it was called!) was almost like mango sticky rice dessert, the perfect balance to all the savory dishes. Already looking forward to coming back!

Their mocktail menu awesome. Not all people drink alcohol and sometimes people that don't still want a fun refreshing drink, so appreciate that. I ordered their upper east side, which was mint, cucumber, blue majik (whatever that is) soda and citrus. It was absolutely delicious. 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.
