    This sports bar is poppin! Lots of locals seem to gather, have drinks, and foods. Noticed a lot of groups, including family with kids. They do have a separate arcade section with a race car game & the claw toy machine. They have really good food, and huge portions. You definitely get what you pay for. The burgers are the party. They are tall and may require utensils. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger while my husband ordered the draft burger. They have coke products (which i personally appreciate) and a full bar. Staff was great and seem to work together with the busy crowd!

    WOW, idk how this place is rated 3.5 stars it is an absolute BANGER!!! Best wings of North County and it's not even close. The pizza dough is super flavorful. The vibe is immaculate. Fair warning it is an Eagles Bar so if you want the smoke during an eagles game get ready for HANDS!!! All jokes aside this is the BEST place to take your friends for a good time and wings. FIH STAHHHHHHHHHHHH

    Just regular wings.

    Arrived to a packed house because the NFL playoffs started today. We were given a small table while we waited for the place to clear out after the first game. We were seated pretty quickly after the first game and our server came to the table. She looked worn out. Not friendly at all. But, I'm a firm believer in being nice regardless of the circumstances. She took our orders and was pretty attentive throughout our time there. It didn't look like there were enough servers working. We ordered wings, pretzel bites and pizza. The wings and pretzel bites came out in about 15 minutes. My husband enjoyed his wings. The pretzel bites were very hot, which is great, but they were the hardest pretzel bites I've ever been served. They also had a burnt taste. Would not order again. The pizza came out as ordered on a super thin crust. It was ok. The crust looked pressed and was a bit like cardboard. Not terrible but not a place to go if you're looking for great pizza. The server ended up saying she'd had a lot of trouble with customers that day and thanked us for being nice. All in all a decent place to watch a game and get some drinks.

    Pretty good. I came here once with my mom like 10-15 years ago with a Groupon and see they're still having a very similar deal. My son has been here a few times and says they have great wings. To be honest, the wings did not look appealing to me at all. So I didn't try it. I did have the Caesar wrap with fries. The wrap was pretty good except it had way too much dressing. I think it would make more sense to dress the lettuce lightly as you would a salad and then putting that in the wrap. Also a few of the chicken pieces had weird hard spots but at least you can tell it's real chicken cuz sometimes when I cook I get those bits from the connective tissues or whatever. The fries were nice, the bigger cuts weren't my favorite but the thinner ones were and they definitely seem fresh cut. The ranch was exactly as you'd want it to be for a place apparently known for their wings. I would come back. Probs won't specifically suggest it but open to coming and keeping an eye out for a different Groupon not for burgers. Potato skin I would skip. They are cut too thick and I prefer a crispier outer texture. Also the bacon wasn't really cooked right either. Seems to be put on top and expected to cook in the over with the potato? Not crisp and weird texture Service is friendly. Ambiance is typical sports bar. The owner is an eagles fan so maybe come here if you are too

    Lemon Pepper Wings soooooooo delicious!!
    Sylvia A.

    Wowww what a gem. My first visit was when first arriving from the airport. I was craving some lemon pepper wings. We placed our order to go. I checked my trusty yelp and the reviews were pretty good. I pre-paid online and left a proper tip and our food was ready on time. I first ordered ten lemon pepper wings fried. Omggg they were so flavorful, crunchy had the perfect amount of seasoning and I demolished nearly half of mine in the car. Do you know I went back the following day to order 30 more wings. Now these wings are good and even when you reheat them in the microwave they still have the flavor. It comes with celery sticks and carrots and a very nice signature ranch dip. Now because I love this place so much. I tried the personal size pizza. It did not disappoint. I had the Philly cheese steak pizza. My husband tried the supreme. We both were satisfied. I haven't had the pleasure of dining in yet. All of our orders were placed online. The food was delicious. Now I can't comment on the inside dining experience as of yet but you can trust I will be back!!

    Overall the service was good our server continuously checked up on us. It's a sports bar so there were games playing all around us and it was loud but we were still able to have a conversation. The curly fries were good and the wings themselves were nothing great. I ordered 6 regular buffalo medium and only got one flat which was also disappointing while my friend got essentially all flats. Not going to be my preference in wings but it was a good time.

    Garlic parmesan and buffalo chicken wings

    I would say the best wings in Oceanside. Great beer selection. I think it was happy hour and beer and wine was $5.50 each. Wings were 10 wings for $12. Casual environment and lots of TVs for live sports. The onion rings were pretty tasty too.

    Wings, chipotle and lemon pepper

    Great spot to hang out at on game days. Be prepared for loud, passionate fans yelling at the TVs Great selection of beers and alcohol. I've had their IPAs and the Mexican candy shot which was delicious! We also ordered wings and they were big and juicy.

    Wings and pepperoni pizza

    Found our new go to place. We used to go to Junkyard, but since the new owners renovated, foods just ok and prices went way up with bad service. But finding this plane now is great! Incredible bar food. Drinks are great as well as the local relaxed atmosphere. This is truly a great local bar. Wings and food are so much better than our old haunt. We will be regulars.

    Bacon cheeseburger  yum!

We went with a group of maybe 10 people for happy hour on a Friday (HH is 3-6:30pm). Bartenders were great. The patrons weren't too rowdy. We played darts and occupied what used to be the smoking room (last time I remember about 15 years ago). Now you need to smoke outside. Parking is mostly in the back. There is some up-front but for security sake I wouldn't park there (break-ins more likely if no one is looking at your car, unlike the back parking lot which always has people outside smoking). Drinks were good. Not too weak and not too strong. Try the "-196" strawberry seltzer in a can from Japan (made by Suntory). I think it was $6? Pretty good and 5.5% ABV. They had a Hazy IPA on draft that was pretty good. Few other taps too (SpaceDust, other domestics). They do not serve food other than bagged potato chips. But, they allow you to bring in food from the outside. You can even get food delivered. We ordered two large pizzas from Pizza on Tap and fed the 10 people we had. We stayed until 8pm and the place was pretty full up by then. Not a bad joint.

Cons: Parking is often difficult in downtown Oceanside--we parked two blocks away on a Saturday afternoon. They have second floor outdoor dining, but the ocean view is now completely gone with all the condos they've built. The check came to over $100 (with tip) for a very average meal with two beer/wine drinks each. As such, we won't be back. Just nothing compelling there to motivate us to do so. Locals are obviously NOT their target anyway. This could be defined as a typical beach area bar hang with limited food choices for tourists who aren't expecting value.

The wine was good, and the redheaded bartender was genuinely kind and pleasant. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. A woman with curly hair came storming over to her husband, screaming and cursing at him in front of everyone. Then, as if that wasn't enough, she turned her attention toward the couple he had been talking with and started yelling at them too. It completely destroyed the atmosphere. We came to a winery to enjoy some wine and relax--not sit through someone's loud, aggressive public argument. It was embarrassing, uncomfortable, and incredibly disruptive. I couldn't believe this was happening. What should have been a nice Friday evening turned into an extremely uncomfortable experience. Good wine and a nice bartender don't make up for an atmosphere like that. We are new to the area, and unfortunately, this was our first impression. We won't be back and definitely won't recommend this establishment.
