    This is what I imagine visitors from out of the country think of as an authentic American restaurant. This place screams America, from the huge portions to the national pride decor. They get really busy, and seem to have a coordinated system, like theme parks, to seat customers efficiently. Someone greets you immediately and gets your party size and has you stand by a number. Someone else grabs fresh bread and a bag of peanuts as they seat you. Then your server is right around the corner to get drinks and apps started and answer any menu questions. We decided to try to eat lightly and shared a combo 12oz ribeye with ribs. Came with two sides -- we chose chili and mashed potatoes. And of course we had the warm bread with honey cinnamon butter, as well as the peanuts to start. I was definitely stuffed by the end! Loved the bread and the steak - would order again. Ribs were okay, sauce on it was a bit sweet for my liking. Sides were okay too. Service was awesome. Ethan was our server and took note of it being our first time. He was super helpful in answering my questions and giving us some tips and recommendations.

    Great sirloin Had the 6oz med rare with a sweet potato, house salad and sweet tea (and ice water) Steak and potato cooked perfectly. I tried the dressing that was something lime and whole tasty it has a bit more spice than I was prepared for. (Very good, and on another day I would've enjoyed the spice.) My waitress, Kelly, was attentive and kept my drinks filled as she checked on me. The table scanner didn't scan my gift card and she took care of that for me as well.

    Full Slab Ribs

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Perla R.

    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!

    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!

    Samantha C.

    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!

    medium-rare NEW YORK STRIP steak with sautéed mushrooms
    Scott T.

    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.

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.

My husband and I stopped in to Frankie's on a recent Saturday at 5pm. Our kiddo had a performance down the street at 6pm so we had a little time to kill beforehand. The neighboring spots looked busy so we decided to go with Frankie's, seeing as they were less inundated at the time and we had a time constraint. Another allure was the sandwich board at the front door advertising discounted cocktails - sold!! Inside there were a handful of patrons at the bar, another table with two additional patrons and maybe a couple on the patio so it was fairly quiet and slow, so it looked promising. We headed up to the bar and hung out behind two empty barstools, the single female bartender greeted us and said she'd be right with us, but then continued chatting up the seated patrons, serving them and their friends that had just joined (AFTER we'd arrived). We moved a little further down to the handoff area where she was making drinks to save her having to come back to us again, and stood there for probably 10 minutes while she took orders and made all the drinks. We commented that she looked like she could definitely use a hand, and she said they were still adjusting into summer hours and determining whether more coverage was needed at this time - I figured 5pm on a Saturday should be primetime, so I'm not sure in what universe having a single bartender makes any sense. Finally we placed our cocktail orders, waited while they were made, and then put our card down for the tab. After we'd paid, I noticed the cocktails were more expensive than advertised on the sandwich board out front - I couldn't find a disclaimer anywhere that said only certain cocktails were included, so while it was a bummer I wasn't about to wait another 10-15 minutes to catch her attention and ask for clarification. Just a heads up to beware of whatever is advertised that might summon you in from the sidewalk, and make sure you ask before you make your selection. Drinks were very subpar, nothing special to write home about. While I can appreciate the Gatsby-esque vibe they're trying to uphold at Frankie's, they really should increase their staffing especially during prime weekend and evening hours, and be more transparent about their specials and what's included and what's not. Hindsight is 20/20, and the low volume of patrons when everything else around it was going off was probably a sign, so we'll skip Frankie's our next go around.

    I was in Oceanside while my husband was working nearby and decided to stop at LTH for lunch. This…read morewas one of my first times actually sitting down and dining by myself, and I'm so glad I chose this place! Parking was a little rough and the lot was FULL, but I took that as a good sign I went around 2pm on a Wednesday and there was a nice mix of families, couples, etc. You can sit inside, at the bar, or outside in the sun or shade. I chose outside in the shade and it was quiet, relaxed, and really comfortable. I ordered the Dirty Bird and it was SO good. The chicken was crispy outside, juicy inside, not oily or dry. The coleslaw was fresh and crunchy, the fries were nicely seasoned, and it was a good amount of food. They happily put my pickles and hot honey on the side too. I asked for ginger ale and they offered ginger beer instead, which was a pleasant little surprise! The menu has a ton to choose from. I actually wished I had people with me so I could try more things And for my fellow IBS friends, the women's bathroom has TWO stalls. These are important details!! I'd absolutely come back and bring my husband. Although he ate my leftovers, so I'm still a little mad at him.

    The Quinoa burger was decent, and the shrimp & sausage fettuccini was pretty good... but we don't…read morethink we'll be back. It took a while to be seated, and a while for our waitress to finally come over. With hungry children, that time is precious to us. The pretzel was honestly awful. It's covered in pepper, and their attempt at doing that appetizer elegantly just fell flat. The Old Fashioned was a miss. We left wishing we had gone somewhere else... especially for the price.

    I really like that campfire works towards shareable meals, where everyone can have a bite of food…read moreand try new things. I would say campfire focuses on flavor blasts, with enhancement of the food through certain garnishes and sauces. The portions are not very large, but they are filling depending on how many different items you get. Our server was very kind and helped guide us on our journey. We had an outdoor table around 6:15 PM and it was absolutely gorgeous. Inside seemed nice too, but I did enjoy outside more due to the calmer and quieter atmosphere. I would highly recommend trying this place out with a group of four.

    We made a reservation the day of. Around 6, I looked on open table and saw that the earliest…read morereservation was for 8:15pm. You have to put a credit card on file. We found street parking nearby. I read in other reviews there's a public lot nearby. The cornbread was interesting - it came out on a skillet with with goat cheese and balsamic vinegar. The crudo and broccoli were my favorite. I would get those again. The broccoli was crispy and there was a sweet buttery sauce underneath. The cavatelli was interesting - it comes with a soft poached egg. I'm not sure I would get it again. The market fish was salmon and it was delicious. It was cooked perfectly. Our server Katie was super friendly and let us take our time.

    Such a beautiful little find in Carlsbad! We stopped into Wildland for a quick coffee and ended up…read moreabsolutely loving the whole experience. We ordered the Smoked Salmon Tartine, and it was SO good -- farmer's cheese, capers, pickled onion and dill on their sourdough. Honestly, the food was top tier. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked amazing, and after trying the bread we actually ended up buying some to take home! For drinks, we had a matcha latte with oat milk and the canned nitro cold brew. Just a heads-up for my fellow coffee people: the cold brew isn't made in-house, but that didn't stop it from being really good! We liked the coffee so much that we actually went over to the local coffee shop that supplies their beans afterward and bought some beans to take home. And definitely don't skip the bakery. The chocolate chip cookie was delicious, and the chocolate croissant had that super crispy, crackly exterior. I personally would have loved a little more filling to make it slightly more moist, but that's completely subjective -- if you love a crispier croissant, you'll probably LOVE it. The atmosphere might have been my favorite part. It's beautiful, calm, inviting and just has that perfect Carlsbad coastal café vibe. Between the food, fresh bread, pastries and atmosphere, this is absolutely somewhere I'd come back to whenever we're in the area. Definitely worth a stop -- and come hungry because everything coming out of that kitchen looks delicious!

    We were looking forward to dining here for our 2nd time, since we enjoyed our first experience…read more Unfortunately, the service and menu offerings had many elements left to be desired. VERY slow service, especially in the beginning..... waiting 10 minutes before our server arrives to take our drink orders, really? Getting a refill on our wine was also an issue. Food quality was fine, just limited selections. I've been to their other restaurants and have enjoyed the dinners. What happened here tonight?
