Beach Break Cafe is a vibrant, diner-style eatery located in South Oceanside, offering generous portions of classic American dishes and their famous giant coffee cake. Established in 1988 by Gary and Zell Dwelley, this surf-inspired cafe has become an integral part of the Oceanside community. Situated along the historic Highway 101, it's a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.
Excellent food and service! It was a busy Saturday morning but we got sat in like 20 minutes. Love that they have a large waiting area. Their coffee is delicious. I had the corned beef hash and pancakes. Talk about plentiful. My wife had the huevos rancheros and waffle. She moved hers as well. The server was great. Considering how busy they were, she was very attentive. We will definitely be back.

Great place to stop for a traditional breakfast. Outdoor seating covered. A little bit of a wait but worth it. Friendly and welcoming service. Plates are full/nice size portions. Their pancakes 🥞 ARE fluffy, you can actually share the short stack (2). The 🥓 bacon and corn beef hash and eggs 🤤. Their vanilla had me 3 cups in (and I'm not a coffee ☕ drinker).

One of the better breakfast options in Oceanside. Located right on HWY 101 it’s not very far from the ocean and carries that casual, beachy feel to the restaurant. It’s quite large on the inside with many different sitting areas as well as covered outdoor seating, which is where we sat for our breakfast. There is a large free parking lot in back so parking was really easy. Our waiter was also very polite and the service was very fast. Only downside was we had to wait about 30 mins to be seated for a party of 4 for our Saturday morning brunch. For my first visit I chose the Santa Fe Scramble and loved it. The chorizo was perfectly spicy and it was a large sized portion. I opted for the free Coffee Cake on the side and thought it was one of the best Coffee Cakes that I have had in a very long time. It was moist and full of cinnamon flavor and the glaze on top was warm and just mixed so well with it. I would not miss it! Overall a great breakfast spot. I don’t drive up to Oceanside often but next time I do I would definitely consider eating here again and would recommend to anyone else in the area.

After a 20 min wait we sat outside on patio. Quaint surf beach cafe setting. Friendly and efficient service. I had a very delicious omelette with perfectly crisp hash brown potatoes. The coffee cake was light but a bit on the sweet surgery side.

Great spot for breakfast or early lunch. The food is delicious, the menu is large, but not overbearing, and the service was attentive and friendly. The coffee cake was outstanding, as was my meal. My eggs and sausage were cooked perfectly. I love the So-Cal surfing/skateboarding theme to the inside of the restaurant. There is pictures,articles, and memorabilia hung to observe and read to keep you occupied while you wait. It was busy but the turnover was fast and while eating I didn't feel rushed by waitstaff.

Very loud atmosphere, have to talk at a elevated level to be able to hear who’s sitting across from you. Wasn’t too amazed by the food, it wasn’t bad just nothing spectacular. would definitely come here if you have friends or family that like a more simple food.

This was our first visit here and we loved it . The atmosphere is definitely awesome . Skateboards , surfboards and tons of photos of surfing as decor , definitely California. Very Clean and staff always made sure coffees full and we had everything we needed. For sure a locals place , it seemed everyone knew each other. Ordered Avocado toast and fruit and I’m pretty picky about my avocado toast this was perfect !!! ABC omelette was ordered as well and it was great . Will definitely be going back .

Nestled away from the hustle and bustle, Flying Pig Pub & Kitchen is a charming eatery that embodies the essence of the slow food movement. This rustic gem in Oceanside focuses on high-quality ingredients and fresh flavors, offering a delightful menu filled with handmade pasta and refined American dishes. With an inviting atmosphere adorned with eclectic decor—think repurposed record covers—this spot has quickly become a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
Wow, wow! We hosted a Rehearsal Dinner and it was FABULOUS! We worked with Michaela on the menu, went a couple of times to try various menu items and came up with our special dishes for the dinner. Michaela was amazing every step of the way, including making our custom printed menu — our server the night of was Joe —and he was awesome! Attentive, friendly, efficient and a great guy! Our group was 22 people and they made us all feel so welcome. Kudos to the chefs for amazing dishes…pork chop, shrimp and grits, fried chicken and spare rib. The appetizers were incredible as well…..and the banana crème stuffed beignets were to die for. We will definitely be back…thank you Michaela, Joe and team for your service and making the Rehearsal Dinner so memorable!

Great little pub with a proper menu and a short but quality craft beer draft list. Nice outdoor patio and a large dining room that looks to be an expansion so this place would work well for large groups. Friendly folk working the bar and tables. Recommended!

Food was nice and hot! To start we had the truffle fries which is a great sized portion, came with a sauce that i enjoyed. Yum! I tried the cajun catfish and it had a nice spice to it. Very good for my first time trying catfish. The catfish was very soft and i enjoyed the creamy Cajun sauce on top. My husband had the house bolognese and that was very tasty! This is a great place to try if you are visiting Oceanside. It was recommended to us by a local 🙂

We went here for happy hour. The burger was mediocre - more bun than patty. The truffle fries were great. Deviled eggs are a pretty purple color, and the bacon grits were fine. It ended up being $50 for 2 without drinks. Staff is prompt.

We had a birthday reservation for the 7 of us, and were seated immediately. They wished happy birthday to the guest of honor and took our drink orders and had them back in a flash. The food order went in without a hitch. Everyone agreed: the food was delicious! Great time.

Flavor: A- Service: B Tea: A Solo dining: A The Pig Burger is the Flying Pig’s most popular item for good reason. It’s a thin beef patty, a thin pork patty, bourbon bacon onion jam, and white cheddar on a delicious bun. I’d say it earns an A- for flavor with a great taste that could come on even stronger. The meat is regionally sourced, the burgers are clearly house made, and the cheese is perfectly melted. Who knew California could do a burger so well? The truffle fries and accompanying aioli are also delectable so treat yourself to that up charge. The inside feels a little fancy for a pub but dining outside seems more So-Cal anyway. Especially with an impatient driver yelling not-so-politically-correct things at pedestrians that snapped right back with their own insults. Dinner and a show!?! Cheers to the Flying Pig for bringing these farm animals together in an extraordinary burger. #theburgertrail

I wasn't sure what to expect from this place but being an Oceanside local I felt like we needed to try it at some point or another and I'm happy we did. The drinks were a little different for my taste but that doesn't mean they were bad by any means. The food was delicious. Especially the herb mashed potatoes and the mac and cheese. I like the crispiness of the fried chicken but wish it had a little more flavor to the batter. We Had No Reservations on a Saturday evening and were able to get seated right away which was nice. The server was fantastic and checked on a several times and made sure to fill up our Waters as it was definitely a warmer day. There's a real sense of community at this restaurant and I enjoy that. Overall it was a great experience.

Located at 280 Harbor Dr, Oceanside, CA 92054, Stratford at the Harbor is a popular dockside eatery known for its classic breakfast options and hearty dishes. The restaurant offers a cheerful atmosphere with an enclosed patio overlooking the water, making it one of the best Oceanside harbor restaurants for a great breakfast experience. The menu features favorites like French toast, omelets, scrambles, burgers, and sandwiches.
I was super happy with my food, I’m a sucker for some fresh fruit and a good pastry! However, my husband was disappointed with his steak and ended up going with something else. The waitress was so awesome. She was very pregnant and she was moving! She was very nice and attentive. This place is right by the bay so a nice view, slightly obstructed in certain areas. It tends to be cold on the patio but they have heaters. They also serve beer and good lattes. I would give 5 stars for the atmosphere, it is nice but not high end. The prices are pretty good, especially right on the water. A good amount of seating. A nice bathroom, which is for sure a plus for me!

It was not a “Perfect Breakfast Sandwich”(as described on the menu), but it was a good sandwich. The breakfast potatoes were very good. Coffee was good at self serve. Good Oceanside harbor location, fairly neat eating area. This is self seating, counter order, with meal served. Parking can be tight, it’s a fairly restricted area.

I had been wanting to try this place for quite sometime. We finally caught them when they were open. Yay. We love fish and chips and thought let's try them here..... we had the ones next door which are amazing and a lot. We ordered and when the fish arrived I thought wow these look filling. We, filling is what these fish and chips lacked. To our dismay we had more breading than fish. Even the tempura wasn't all the way cook though because it was still wet on the fish. 😕. We will try this place again for breakfast, but won't eat the fish.

Don's Country Kitchen is a beloved neighborhood spot that serves up delicious country-style breakfast and sandwiches, along with Bloody Mary's and mimosas. With locations in Carlsbad and Oceanside, it has been a favorite among locals for many years. The cozy atmosphere invites guests to enjoy their eggs & bacon, machaca, or stuffed french toast while watching the neighborhood activity. Despite the potential wait for a table, patrons find the food well worth it.
Perfection! From our greeting from Daniel through the meal, everything was done brilliantly! We did have a 25 minute wait and it was well worth it. The biscuit and gravy was one of the best I've ever had. Fresh made and tender. Fluffy. Gravy is lick-the-plate delicious! Ordered a half portion eggs Benedict (love this option). Smokey Canadian bacon, perfectly cooked egg and hollandaise sauce is as good as home made. And hash browns were crispy. Peach waffle - yes please! Such a treat. Go. Enjoy. 100% would go back!

Ever take a bite so good that everyone at the table just goes quiet? That was us. Eleven loud, hungry family members, instantly humbled by biscuits and gravy. It was our last morning in Oceanside. We were sunburned, half-packed, and honestly just trying to squeeze in one last good meal before heading home. Don’s Country Kitchen didn’t just give us a good meal. It gave us one of the best moments of the trip. Parking was a bit of a mess. The wait was about 25 minutes. But the second we sat down and the food started hitting the table, every single complaint vanished. Here’s what went down. ⸻ 🍽 Let’s Talk About What We Ate Tuna Melt Golden grilled bread, crisp and buttery on the outside. Inside? Melted cheese and creamy, savory tuna that had real flavor. It was rich, gooey, and comforting in the best way. Everyone wanted a bite. I should’ve ordered two. Strawberry Belgian Waffle Straight up looked like it belonged in a commercial. Fluffy waffle topped with mounds of whipped cream and fresh strawberries. Came with syrup on the side so you could drizzle as much as your sugar-loving heart desired. Breakfast Sandwich Stacked with crispy bacon, cheddar, and fluffy eggs on a toasted English muffin. It had that classic breakfast energy. And the fruit cup that came with it was surprisingly fresh and sweet. Biscuits and Gravy with Fries These biscuits were huge, soft, and soaked in thick sausage gravy that tasted homemade. The gravy was peppery and rich. Fries on the side were crispy and golden. Total comfort food perfection. Omelet with Avocado and Hash Browns A fully loaded omelet topped with fresh sliced avocado. But that hash brown? It was a giant crispy sheet of golden potatoes. Crunchy all the way through. Easily the best hash brown I’ve had in a long time. Eggs Benedict on Roasted Potatoes Poached eggs sitting on top of seasoned potatoes and sautéed spinach. Then came the hollandaise sauce. Rich, smooth, and drizzled just right. They put real care into this one. It wasn’t just breakfast. It was brunch with flair. ⸻ 💥 Stuff We Didn’t Get But Wished We Did We saw the stuffed hash browns go to another table and it nearly broke us. Same with the cinnamon rolls and mimosa flights. Everyone around us looked like they were living their best brunch life. Trust the reviews. These items are worth coming back for. ⸻ 🎯 Service Was On Point Our server was fast, kind, and kept the good vibes going even with a party of 11. No missed orders. No attitude. Just great service from start to finish. ⸻ 🏖 Ambiance Was Pure Oceanside This place feels like a local classic. Cozy inside. Chill outdoor seating. Friendly staff. The kind of spot where regulars bring their dogs and tourists feel like they found a hidden gem. It’s family-owned and you can feel that love in everything they do. ⸻ 🔥 Quick Tips Before You Go • Get there early. The line builds fast and parking is tight. • Do not skip the gravy. • Look around before ordering. You’ll probably change your mind after seeing what other people have on their plates. ⸻ ✅ Final Verdict: One of the Best Brunch Spots in Oceanside Don’s Country Kitchen turned our last vacation meal into one of the best moments of the trip. If you’re in Oceanside and wondering where to eat for breakfast or brunch, this is it. The food is legit. The vibe is warm. The service is on point. Whether you’re local or just passing through, you need this spot in your life. Go order the stuffed hash browns, grab a mimosa, and thank yourself later.

Drove up to Oceanside specifically for this breakfast and we were all happy that we did so. The flavors are great, the portions are large, and the prices are fair. Parking can be a bit tricky because they have a very small parking lot attached in front but only for about four or five cars. Otherwise it will be free street parking. We arrived around 10AM for Saturday brunch and had to wait about 25 minutes to be seated for a party of three. We felt the wait was worth it though. The food items arrived quickly after we ordered and our waitress was very polite. Inside is pretty large and they have indoor and outdoor seating options. For my first visit, I chose my favorite breakfast dish, which is Eggs Benedict and decided to order their Chorizo Benedict. It honestly had some great flavors and was almost spicy but in the perfect way. I really enjoyed it and ate every bit of it and would highly recommend it. I already want to come back and try some more dishes and would definitely consider this one of the better breakfast options in Oceanside.

Heard good things about this restaurant from friends and Yelp so we had to try it out. We traveled from Camarillo to Oceanside for a full day of soccer games. Immediately were we greeted by the staff and basically had our choice of tables since it was only 8:30am. Service was prompt and friendly. Blueberry pancakes and the ABC Omelette were fantastic and portions were plentiful. Delicious!! If you’re in the area or passing by, it’s worth the stop. You won’t be disappointed.

We thought we'd try this place for breakfast. We arrived around 8am on the weekend. It wasn't busy when we came in, but it started to fill in around 8:30am. Nice decor and nice atmosphere. Unsure if they just opened, but it seemed like they were short-handed. No one approached us, so we decided to seat ourselves. It looks like there were a few people waiting at the tables to be given menus also. I thought their breakfast special (2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage), but thought it was a little steep $17.95 for just that. I thought I'd try something different and get the egg burrito. For $16.95, it was a pretty big burrito that I was able to share with someone. I would probably get something else next time because my burrito mainly had potatoes. It seemed like I only had 2 small sausages total that was chopped up into it. If it didn't have the sauce on top, I felt the burrito lacked flavor. Overall, it was OK for me. If we happen to go here again, I'll try something different.

The owner said her parents owned this place before and this place has been here for over 60 years.The people are very nice. We got there at 1:20pm (it closes at 2:00) and sat outside. I like sitting outside but the street noises here is too loud with the motorcycles and loud cars. I had the Nutella Crepes (2) with fruit. I told the owner they were good but cold ( likely because the fruit on top was cold) Also there was a white sweet sauce on them- which was not to my taste (or necessary). Mom liked the muscle man scramble and we liked the taste of the mimosas. I liked this place and would go back but probably sit inside. Lots of parking and interestingly there’s a religious Knick Knack store in the patio area.

We decided to try this after all the reviews I read but they had a different experience than we did my husband got the hamburger patty supposed to be medium it was well done the eggs were terrible and too well done and the potatoes were huge and too well done. I had a Chinese chicken salad and it was the most boring salad I've ever had and I've eaten a lot of salads. I got the dressing on the side cuz I was planning on taking it most of it home but I ended up just leaving it there

Both the service and the food were not great. It took a very long time just to order drinks. I ordered the crepe combo. Very disappointing. They were completely flavorless, and didn't even look like crepes. They looked more like pancakes cut up into pieces for a child to eat. When I mentioned this to my waitress she said that's how crepes are supposed to look, I suppose she thought I was that ignorant. Not happy and will not be back.

My wife loves this place. Diner style food, family owned and been there forever. They have a great specials of the day list on the chalk board when you enter. This Sunday morning, they were packed with customers Check out their menu, but it is the specials that rock. I had the surf and turf eggs Benedict. Had short rib meat and lobster pieces replacing the usual ham. Was excellent. Coffee is good and they do a good job keeping it topped up. Lots of children there too. From families to dining alone, they got you covered. As a side note, this place is next to the Marine base Camp Pendleton. There were lots of marines and their families eating there. Next to us were 3 very young marines. Watching them quietly eat together really touched us. So we anonymously paid their check before we left. We wanted them to know they had our respect.

Easily the most attentive manager I have ever seen. He personally introduces himself and makes sure the other staff know your name. I came in 15 minutes before closing time and was welcomed. The food is homemade and very fresh. There are a variety of seating options, including an enclosed patio. There is also a small souvenir shop. My only complaint is I found literally only one piece of pineapple in my pineapple coleslaw.

Hands down best Chai Latte I’ve ever had. Food was delicious. Quick and low-key. No fuss no muss. You order at a counter upon entering, then go find a table, then receive your food. Didn’t interact with staff too much, but it wasn’t really necessary because I got more than I wanted and it was yummy. Happy camper! Wish I could have that Chai every single day!!

Food was great! The chocolate chip pancakes, the buttermilk pancakes, the Belgium waffle and the fresh fruit were perfect. Now for the country potatoes, they were great. They were actually potatoes cute and fried. NOT frozen gross potatoes. This gives then an extra ⭐️ We are here visiting from out of town, so we looked at previous reviews. You won't be disappointed here.

This is such a cozy weekend go-to for us. 🌞 They’ve got something for everyone, mimosa flights for me, a giant chocolate chip pancake for my kiddo, and lighter options when I’m trying to behave. The corned beef hash is a fave, and I usually stick to the Benedict because it never lets me down (the beef special I tried was a little chewy). It does get busy in the mornings, and you order at the counter with self-serve drinks, but that’s part of the charm. Swami’s is definitely staying in our regular rotation.

It was the best! Such good quality! Everything was delicious, the person who took us order was very nice and helpful. I recommend iced honey lavender, it was yummy and their steak was delicious 🤌 Definitely come back

Vegan (hot food) options are few & not very appetizing. Smoothie bowl was large and fresh but they did include pollen even though I asked for it vegan. Have also tried the tofu stir fry and tofu fish tacos which were okay but I wouldn't seek this place out for food if adhering to a vegan diet. Love the easy of ordering at the counter and seating yourself.

This location is close to the pier and a good spot for a quick bite. However, the food had a cafeteria-like quality; it lacked flavour. The toast was cold, and the bacon was cold. I feel this is due to the system they have in place to pre-order before being seated. The service model was a bit different from other restaurants in the area. We had to wait in line as we entered and were then given a menu. Overall, our experience was okay. There was street parking available, but we didn’t use it and instead walked to the location.

The food is good, but not the best, the service is OK… No one came to pick up our food/dirty place until superduper later. We’re still waiting on pancakes. We ordered a long time ago. There’s usually a long line outside the restaurant, but that does not mean there’s a wait time! You’re supposed to take your order at the front and see yourself!

This cafe is a good breakfast and coffee spot, the latte art was very impressive too! The only complaint we had was the hashbrowns and eggs on the benedicts we ordered were pretty cold when we got them. The flavors were all really good though and they have a large selection on the menu!

Broken Yolk Cafe is a lively chain that offers all-day breakfast, featuring a variety of Mexican dishes, sandwiches, and burgers. Whether you're craving a healthy meal or classic American breakfast options, this spot has something for everyone. Indulge in the vegetarian Wellness Wrap or Feta Avocado Toast for a lighter option, or savor heartier dishes like the American Breakfast or Bettys Southern Biscuit & Gravy. Egg enthusiasts can delight in the Golden State Benedict or Sope Benedict.
Broken Yolk has become our go to breakfast place for end of our visit with family in Oceanside! This past weekend happened to be mother's day weekend and it was especially busy, wait time was crazy but the staff and our server were pleasant! The food is always really good and portions are decent. I decided to try their mimosa flight which comes with four different ones, lemonade, grapefruit, cranberry, and the original orange juice. The lemonade was probably my fave but they were all pretty good! We were a large group and aside from the wait, we had a nice visit, everyone enjoyed their food! Will continue to visit and keep our tradition of ending our visits here!!

First time trying the Broken Yolk Cafe and it was good, but didn’t quite live up to the hype in my head. I love breakfast and was hoping for a little more wow factor. The Huevos Rancheros were good, but not great. The custom omelette was similar. The fruit was fresh and juicy. The service was great! Plenty of room for dining, with outdoor seating options. Maybe a little better next time.

My granddaughter and I stopped by for breakfast, and we had such a lovely time! The staff was super friendly, and we were lucky to have Emma as our server.

Broken Yolk Cafe offers an impressive variety of dishes, catering to a wide range of tastes and preferences. The food is not only delicious but also beautifully presented, showcasing attention to detail that enhances the dining experience. The service is equally commendable, with a caring and attentive staff that ensures you feel welcome. However, be prepared for a bit of a wait during peak times. We visited on a Sunday for brunch and waited about 30 minutes for a table, which speaks to the cafe's popularity. Despite the wait, the quality of the food and service made it well worth it. Highly recommended for those looking for a satisfying and well-rounded dining experience!

Food was delicious. Ranchers skillet and salmon avocado toast were both enjoyable. I wouldn't recommend the Bloody Mary flight. Wine-based vodka and wine-based tequila is one of the worst experiences my taste buds have experienced. Definitely skip that and stick to their delicious breakfasts.

It was extremely busy on the Sunday that we visited at approximately 12 noon. Staffing was down by 20%, but our server was very attentive and amicable despite running around like a chicken. Food and drink came out fairly soon and was quite good. We had the soup and sandwich combo. Sandwiches were really good. My soup, chicken vegetable, was too salty. However, the tomato basil soup was excellent. The spice donut holes with cream cheese frosting on the side made for a great shareable appetizer. We enjoyed our meal that very busy day.

Our party of three waited almost 40 minutes because the restaurant was relatively short staffed which I understand. The hostess quickly took our drink order. Unfortunately, about three tables seated after us had their orders taken. A table seated approximately 10 minutes after us requested that “John” be their server. John promptly went out and took their order and spent quite some time with them. After waiting 25 minutes, my son informed the hostess that we haven’t had our order taken and others after us had ordered. I saw the hostess tell a female server. Once a table seated after me received their food I became pretty upset since we since haven’t had our order taken. John the manager then tried to blame “then confusion” on the hostess since she took our drink order. I found that pretty unprofessional. I have no issues with the hostess since she was helpful and pleasant. John tried to give me a card for a free entree but I declined since I will not be visiting the Broken Yolk in Oceanside again.

Start Fresh Cafe is a charming eatery located on the coast highway in Oceanside. The traditional setting and old diner decor create a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in a classic movie scene. The friendly staff provides excellent service, making it a must-try spot for breakfast or lunch. The menu offers an extensive array of American dishes, with generous portions at reasonable prices. Whether dining inside or enjoying outdoor seating, guests can expect delicious food and phenomenal service.
This is my kind of diner. Fresh homemade food, large portions, good coffee, great service, and of course PIES (we got a piece of coconut/chocolate cream and split it, amazing)! Shout-out to Marco, what a great, friendly, and efficient server he is.

Although I don’t usually have breakfast after church today, I was craving pancakes. I decided to try Start Fresh because I live in Oceanside and I drive by it all the time. I was seated very quickly and was quite surprised by the menu. Pretty big selection once I saw the menu, I decided against pancakes because I could go anywhere for those. I chose to get the Texas Style. This meal was biscuits topped with scrambled eggs and gravy your choice of sausage, links or bacon, I chose bacon. I also added Home style potatoes for two dollars. The food was decently priced and tasted really good. One gentleman was walking around greeting everyone after he greeted me. I let him know it was my first time and he sat down at my table and told me about the restaurant. He told me that everything is freshly made in the back and the owner only chooses quality ingredients and meats. You can definitely tell this because the biscuits taste homemade. There was one young man walking around picking up dishes off of the tables, and she was probably the one that was more attentive to me than anybody else. He made sure somebody took my order and when I was done with my meal, he made sure I was given my check Because other than him nobody else came to check up on me. I won’t knock them because of this because it was a pretty busy Sunday morning. I just think he needs to be commended on his great customer service and I made sure to tell the bosses best friend who set up my table this as I was leaving. I’d like to go back and try a salad and perhaps I will.

It was a nice brunch spot to go to on Father's Day. When I arrived, I waited at the podium for a while, the workers saw me and made eye contact, and didn't even say hello. An older Hispanic man made eye contact stood at the doorway and looked into the dining area for a minute, then finally asked if I had been helped. However after asking me, he handed off the responsibility to an older Caucasian man. I found this weird... But oh well. We waited a bit because we had a party of 9. Their systems are very old school. I don't believe anything was digital because right after me another party of 9 showed up. Their name was written down, but mine wasn't. The two older men were trying to set up a table of 9 but one was addressing my party to sit and the other was trying to seat the other party. Luckily I was seated first. The service for drinks was weird... Only 3 people in my party got something other than water and every time the waitress came back she kept asking who got what. We wanted to converse and share stories so to be interrupted multiple times for 3 drinks seemed a bit ridiculous. Other than that service was great! A young man was a waiter. He did a great job. Unfortunately at the end he seemed very busy so we couldn't personally hand him his cash tip. I hope he got it from the lady at the register. The food was good. Nothing incredible, but not bad. I got Iris Stuffed Hashbrowns and my husband got the Breakfast Burrito. The whole table shared the cinnamon roll. I won't list the other foods my party ate. I would have loved a cream cheese frosting for the cinnamon roll, but it was still good. Also the stuffed Hashbrowns had a lot of cheese and bacon. If you like those you'll love that dish. Towards the end of my dish it was too overpowering with bacon and cheese so I stopped eating it altogether. My hubby said his burrito was good. He liked the sausage and bacon in it. However the salsa on the side was bland to him. At the end I got a slice of Chocolate Banana Cream Pie to go. That was tasty. I liked it all. I did wish for more chocolate flavor, but not bad at all 👍🏻

We came here due to the good reviews..I had the breakfast sandwich. It was made very well. And the service was good as well. My wife had to have her meal remade because she found something foreign in her eggs. But they fixed it and made it right. So we did like that they treat customers good.

PCH diner destination! Everything is scratch made, and I was told the owner sources all of the product they use. The food definitely tastes like some attention was given to it. My chicken was cooked and seasoned perfect, the waffles were great! Drove down to Oceanside thinking about the harbor for breakfast. It was too crowded, an event going on. Ended up cruising down PCH, found this place, turned around, walked in, and walked out happy. Will more than likely be back when I'm in the area again.

During our recent getaway to Oceanside, we stumbled upon a charming little spot called The Breakfast Mug. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, this quaint eatery was a delightful find for food enthusiasts like us. From the moment we took our first bites, we were captivated by the fantastic flavors on offer. The fluffy pancakes and fresh eggs truly stood out. We shared a delicious Caprese Omelet paired with toast and enjoyed a pancake alongside some freshly brewed coffee.
Came here during brunch hour. Was relatively busy but was able to get sat pretty much right away. Coffee is great and in the pictures below you can see me demolish a breakfast board. It was wonderful. Only thing that could improve is the customer service, my server was great but the other tables around me were barely getting attended to. I stand by the five stars though, food was great and my server was fantastic. Thank you Jose O!

The breakfast mug was pretty good! Thr food was almost perfect and the staff was amazing. The food options were unique INDEED. There were several fake plants on the shop and made you wonder how real oflr not the place was. I had the MEAL LOVERES omelette. Pretty good. My wife had something, , oh the biscuits and gravy. They were just OKAY. The biscuits were delicious, but the gravy was not great at all. The gravy was sweet, like "added 4 table spoons to the small bowl of gravy sweet". Threw us off and threw off a start for the ol Brekfast Mug. Really wish I could give them a 4.5... you just can't mess up your gravy like that for a breakfast/lunch place. I'll be back for sure. Had alot of stuff on the menu I want to try!! Good hotsauce and homemade sauce. Ok Bye

this place has an exquisite menu of fairly priced gourmet plates. I came in to sample a cold coffee. I got the chai brulee and it was delicious!! I only gave marks down for the atmosphere of tension there was there from staff member.. I do not fault the staff member for whatever higher up management is imposing on them and causing the stress of the employees encountered. everything else 5 stars!!! I appreciate the staff very much for doing the best they can. they deserve star treatment.

The food was a 7/10. The presentation of the coffee cups was poor with stains and it didn’t look very appetizing to drink. The food alone I’d say was not worth the prices. I’m not one to dislike food but I had an upset stomach after eating here. The service was not so great. I didn’t feel much welcomed especially by the gentleman he was very rude and I felt like he didn’t want me there.

We were looking for a new breakfast place to try and this was close to my mom's home. The food was flavorful and very appealing to the eye. We used take out. My only wish is that the house potatoes and potatoes in the breakfast burrito were softer. We cooked them a little jobber and they were perfect. I will definitely visit again, because the flavor was on point!

Nestled just a few blocks from Oceanside Pier, Petite Madeline Bakery & Bistro is a charming spot known for its American breakfast and lunch offerings, as well as an array of French pastries.
I stopped by for breakfast today and had such a lovely experience! Makenna (I hope I got the spelling right!) took my order, and she's just a delightful, friendly young lady. Mackie was super sweet, too—she brought my coffee and the All Day Bum to my table with a smile. I ordered the Greek Bowl, and let me tell you, it was filling and bursting with flavor! It's such a great way to start the day!

This is a really nice bakery. I stopped by to get a few sweets for a birthday celebration and I was very impressed with the slices of cake. I got the key lime tower which was my favorite! It had the gram cracker bottom and tasted amazing. We also tried the berry dessert special, as well as the strawberry passion. All 3 were delicious. The girl serving me was fast and friendly, the dining area was clean, and the coffee was on point. Definitely a nice spot to visit when passing through.

We have loved Petite Madeline for a long, long time. So when we decided to get married, we knew there was only one option for the cake and desserts at the reception. We fed everyone a huge meal and then brought out the desserts. And they were gone in a short amount of time. Everyone we talked to said, “Oh, this is so good!” I was really surprised how fast the desserts and cake got eaten after how much food everyone already ate. But it is because Petite Madeline knows how to make people happy. They know how to make good food that is not dessert, too. We eat there frequently, and we always love it. Their Benedicts are so delicious. Their Greek bowl is incredible. Their waffles are tasty. Their coffee is perfect. Their tea is excellent. My only problems with Petite Madeline are that they don't have a location right next door to me and they aren't open 24 hours.

I came for the pancake breakfast with bacon and eggs. Everything was good except the bacon. It tasted different. Perhaps it wasn't pork. I didn't get any pastries but will next time. They looked really good. You order and pay at the counter. Grab your napkins, silverware, and water at the self serve station then grab a table. They will bring your order. I would come back to give the pastries a try.

If you're on the hunt for a delightful dining experience, look no further than Mary's Family Restaurant. This charming, family-owned establishment serves up a mouthwatering array of homestyle American dishes that will make your taste buds dance with joy. From the moment you step inside, you'll be welcomed by friendly staff and an inviting atmosphere that feels like home. Mary's Family Restaurant is particularly renowned for its breakfast offerings, which are simply unbeatable.
We decided to try this place due to the rating and I'm happy to say that it's on point. This restaurant looked like a mom & pop small town feel restaurant. When we arrived it was quiet, but a large family came and it got more exciting. We tried one of their special that they had posted outside-- spinach delight. Yes, it was. It was definitely a delight. The egg had all the right flavors and the extras complimented it even more-- without any cheese. The salsa, together with the country potatoes and the eggs, was a perfect match. We also ordered the short stack pancakes and it was delicious and fluffy. They were the size of the meal plate, so it was pretty big. Other restaurants around the area charge around the same amount, but in my opinion, it isn't worth it. As for parking, you can park on the street in front of the restaurant or the parking lot behind the restaurant. We also like the fact that they're supportive of our troops and veterans. Camp pendleton happens to be really close by. We'll definitely be back to try other dishes or to get the same Spinach delight. 😁

I had breakfast at that restaurant the other day, and honestly, it was the worst experience I’ve ever had. I was really hungry that day, but the meal was so bad that I could barely eat any of it. I only managed to eat about a quarter of what was served, and I was still hungry afterward. First off, when I arrived, nobody even acknowledged me, even though I tried to get their attention multiple times. Once I finally placed my order, the meal arrived, and the bacon I got was terribly overcooked—just bland and unpleasant. Later, someone did come over to ask how everything was, and I mentioned the bacon was overdone. The chef even apologized and removed it from the bill, but that didn’t really change my overall impression. It still felt like the worst restaurant experience I’ve had.

The food portions are good here. These are not denny's eggs, I really enjoyed them. My buddy got the Mary's omelet. It looked stuffed with mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers. The bacon came out nice and hot. Everything looked fresh and hot, don't sleep on the biscuits & gravy. This would've been an easy 5 stars, but unfortunately, 2 out of 5 of us never got our English muffins or toast. They got slammed, so I understand it happens. I will say our coffee stayed topped off, which is always great service.

The first day I got a steak and eggs. Noticed there was a Keto plate and had that the 2nd day. Food was good. There was a sign to thank a veteran but they didn’t give veteran discount. It still didn’t deter me from coming back. It still had the best prices in town despite no discount. The food is very good and service was exceptional. Atmosphere was ok. My husband prefers atmosphere, I don’t. I’m perfectly happy with a hole in the wall as long as the food is good. You will not be disappointed going to this little family restaurant. I would definitely go back.

Stepping back decades when walking through the doors, you can immediately tell you're in for an adventure. Staff are super cool and personable. Food is amazing, generous portions of quality yumminess! Had the Carne Asada Plate, my Father the Pollo. Tried both corn and flour tortillas, out of rice today which (Rebecca?) immediately advised me of when I ordered, and we worked a substitute in the form of their home fries w cheese on em! The PLATTERS that showed up blew me away!!! The menu selection is massive. The staff super personable, funny, and watching the team all work together was great. The kitchen is back behind a high counter, where you can hear and see everything, really cool! Double front entry doors protect from cold gusts when guests enter and exit. Love the down home original environment. A mix of booths, tables, and a little outside seating. Lastly, hold up your hand, open it, their cinnamon rolls are bigger than that.

This cute, little vintage place is incredible!! We visited our son in Oceanside and he took us there for breakfast and the food was unbelievable! The french toast - incredible, the Omelet to die for! The service was wonderful, super sweet, welcoming, kind. I saw someone had ordered the Cinnamon Roll and I was so upset that we went there the last day we were in Oceanside cause I wanted to take one of these large Cinnamon Rolls home with me but couldn't. Can not wait for another trip to Oceanside and definitely many trips back to Mary's for breakfast, Cinnamon Roll and will try their lunch next time too. Thank You for giving us another spot in O-side to love! Try their homemade salsa too! DELISH!!!

The extensive menu boasts an array of delicious options, from mouthwatering burgers to hearty pastrami sandwiches and crispy zucchini fries. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast or brunch with friends, you'll find something to satisfy your cravings.
Nice burger roadside joint. The atmosphere is related to the car culture era. The service is just like an old diner. The walls are decorated with auto memorabilia; license plates, posters, old fuel pumps, a phone booth, and even pictures of the old days. The food was really good, and I definitely would come back.

The establishment offers ample parking for visitors. Its interior captures a nostalgic drive-in theater ambiance, providing a unique dining experience. The menu features a diverse selection of food options; for example, patrons can enjoy classic burgers alongside other items such as pastrami sandwiches and zucchini. Regular fries are also available. Overall, the food quality is commendable, and the service is efficient, with a typical wait time of around 7-8 minutes for meals. This venue is particularly family-friendly and is highly recommended for those dining with families.

I give the restaurant 4.5 stars at least more than 4 stars. I believe this is the best burger in this area. The burger has great meat, cheese, and onion ling and those match BBQ sauce. There are many car decorations in the restaurant. Its interior has American mood and you can enjoy that when you are waiting. Taste over 100 mile! Boo Boo!

Ive been coming here for over 8 years. It was great when Larry use to be the owner. Since, its changed a couple times. We came about 3 years ago and the service was horrible. We tried to give it another shot and the first 2 times in the past month were great. Today we went with my dad, mom, and Grandma. They took my mom and grandmas plate to another table that came after us. When I went to the front to inquire about the plate they apologized and said it would be right out. About 20 mins later after watching them bring other tables food out and only 2 of our plates, I went back up. They told me they couldn't interfere with what the kitchen had going on. Even though it was their error you'd think they would have tried to get our plate out first. I work in customer service in the food industry and if we make an error we have to make the moment right first. I almost just wanted to ask for a refund so I decided to stand at the register till it was ready. Won't be returning here again.

Denny's Taco Egg Avocado Skillets had some hits and misses. The eggs and avocado were great, but the cream cheese wasn’t my favorite. The potatoes felt a bit off—they seemed precooked, and when served, they were cold. Thankfully, the skillet eventually warmed them up. The overall experience was decent, but there’s room for improvement, especially with serving temperatures and coffee quality

One thing I will say is that it's a great experience. The Tomahawk was definitely overpriced but still delicious. I say overpriced because I have eaten at all 5 star + restaurants in Ohau Hawaii and have had better Tomahawk's for a more reasonable price. The potatoes and keylime pie were awesome. Definitely will have to try the other steak options.

After some seashell hunting we stopped at Denny's and ordered from their Value Menu. I had French toast, two eggs, two sausage links and I added a side of crispy hash browns. Everything was cooked perfect and hot. Our waitress was so nice and always available. I also ordered the same meal to go for my boyfriend and it was just as tasty and fresh as mine. Ordering from the Value Menu made it affordably priced and the restaurant was clean and well maintained, with great food and service.

Food was very good , however , the general manager, or the lady that was wearing the red suit was very rude. A server in training was brining our food to our table when the general manager openly criticized how the trainee was holding the tray of food, and made the trainee go back to the kitchen in front of us to receive a tray holder . Afterwards , the same manager that was criticizing the trainee , she used the same gloves that she had used previously to clean the bottom of booths by the floor , she used to prepare and serve food. This made us most uncomfortable and the situation was most unfortunate. We ate our food as quickly as possible and will not be returning for this horrible service towards its servers.

The lunch we ordered was good, and the price was reasonable. The person serving was genuinely nice! The only thing was that there was a lot of noise as we were made to sit next to the till area.

Located right off the freeway, and right by a gas station. Went here on Saturday about 830am, it was packed. There was a short wait. We got seated and it took about 5 minutes for someone to come take our drink request. We ordered coffee. Took about another 5 minutes to get our drinks, at which time we ordered our food. It took about 10 minutes for our food to get there. I got the French toast slam. It was good. The bacon here was disappointing. It was super thin and tasted fake. The server was not very friendly and you can tell she was busy, she was all about business. I looked around as we were waiting and other waitresses looked friendly but busy as well. All of our drinks ran out and we sat there for like 10-12 minutes before she came back to check on us. Keep in mind the only drinks we ordered were coffee and the cups were smaller than most cups. She could only take cash payment at the table, if you wanted to use card you had to pay at the counter. They do offer a military discount. There is a small wait area by the front counter. You have to wait to be seated. Overall, it was an okay experience. Not bad but not great.

Toast Gastrobrunch is a trendy brunch spot in Carlsbad with amazing food and an intimate setting. The french toast was so delicious, I could have eaten it all day! The restaurant also has an espresso bar and outdoor seating perfect for a relaxing weekend brunch.
Great spot for brunch. Never seen so many unusual options for their mimosa flight. Love love love it! I selected the classic and the lavender vanilla, and I asked our server to select the other 2 for us. We got prickly pear and lemon. This place also has a full bar so brunch cocktails in addition to mimosas. I had the stuffed French toast and my partner had the smoked salmon toast with egg. Both were just delicious. There’s something for everyone on their menu. We were seated almost immediately on a busy Sunday morning. Our server was kind and attentive. Plenty of places to sit depending on your mood and needs: outdoor, indoor, community tables, and private tables.

The atmosphere is amazing. I love that they are extremely dog friendly. Our wait Saul was excellent! He took great care of us. We did patio seating since we brought our dog but dogs are allowed for indoor seating. Hubby ordered the monster bBoody Mary and I had the white peach belini. Both were a 10. The kids ordered the chocolate chip pancakes combo. Both had mix reactions. Both said the pancakes were a 9 but the sausage was different. My oldest sone rated it a 10 and my other son rates it a 7. Hubby got the lobster scrambled. The potato balls is so good and he said the scrambled was a 9. I got the basic pancake combo with bacon. The pancakes were super fluffy and the bacon was soo good. We will be back just to try other things on the menu. If you are in the area, please give it a try.

Stopped for brunch on a Monday, and we were able to sit in a patio. They didn’t mind us (just a party of two) occupying a larger table since it was Monday. We ordered our food and flights of mimosas. The food and drinks came out without waiting too long. We shared our food, eggs in purgatory and smoked salmon, and i enjoyed them very much. Both dishes were spicy, just how I like them! The workers were friendly and efficient. We found a street parking spot with ease as it was a weekday.

BELIEVE THE 5-STAR REVIEWS! OMG... Toasted Gastrobrunch is definitely on my regular restaurant rotation now. It's highly recommended by Yelpers far and wide, as a brunch enthusiast I can verify this is a phenomenal place. I heard great things about the A-B-C Hash (Shoutout to our friend Audrey the Yelp CM who recommended this dish) so I had to try it! I ordered it with a side of rosemary sourdough and oof, it was an other-worldly experience. The avocado was perfect, I typically don't eat avo but this place changed my mind. Everything from the potatoes, meat, and eggs was fresh and premium quality. We tried a flight of mimosas (pear, lavender, etc.) and they had a good amount of alcohol. The flight glasses were mini-size, so we got some extra soft drinks just in case. Service was a little wonky, we didn't have too many check-ins from our waitress. Our drinks didn't get refilled regularly, that was a little troubling. We just got a lazy vibe from some of the staff. Thankfully, this didn't ruin the experience, but we'd appreciate better service next time! I WILL give kudos to a gentleman from the staff who sent away a homeless dude who was about to start stuff. He tactfully handled the situation, and called security without causing a disruption for guests. The restaurant was trendy, but it never felt like it was trying too hard. It was a cool place, I enjoyed the outdoor patio ALOT! I definitely like the comfortable brunch atmosphere. Oh, and their kitchen is stunning, I love getting to see the chefs in action! Note: I checked on their Yelp page, they have a Yelp waitlist!! Be sure to secure your slot!

Great location for brunch! Lots of seating inside and many seats on the patio with fire pits in the middle of the tables. Service: Our party of 5 took a while to be seated since apparently there were a couple of servers that called out sick and staffing was short. Knowing this, we gave our server some grace and were patient in waiting. Unfortunately, whenever we did ask for something, it felt like we were bothering him. Regardless, food came out within 10-15 minutes. Food: -Coffee Cake Cakes ($14.5): perfect enough to share with the table. Comes with 3 large pancakes and it wasn’t too sweet -Spanish Churros ($12): also shared with the table. Churros were crispy and pretty good! -Lobster Toast ($20): some pictures didn’t do it justice but this is one big toast that was very filling! There were far more bacon bits than lobster though. -Short Rib Benny ($22): my husband enjoyed this dish. Comes with round truffle potatoes which were tasty. Overall: Very cute brunch place at a nice location. Next time, I’d wanna try out their mimosa flights!

This review is long overdue, but we couldn’t go without sharing how amazing our experience was at Toasted Gastrobrunch! A few months before our wedding in June, the original restaurant we planned to host our rehearsal dinner closed, and we spent days searching for a new venue. We reached out to so many places near our reception site, and thankfully, we messaged Toasted Gastrobrunch! Cassandra responded so promptly and was incredibly helpful from the start. They were able to accommodate our group of about 90–100 people, and honestly, it turned out to be the best surprise — a true silver lining! Cassandra, Cody, and the entire staff were amazing. They even created a custom menu for us that offered a mix of Italian and American food outside of their usual brunch menu, which our guests absolutely loved. We were also able to have the restaurant to ourselves, which made the evening feel extra special and intimate. Everything exceeded our expectations — the buffet was plentiful, the drinks were great, and the restaurant itself was spacious and comfortable for all our guests. After dinner, we ended up dancing the night away with even more friends and family who were in town for the wedding, and it was such a perfect way to kick off the weekend! If you’re looking for a reception venue or a restaurant to host your large party, look no further — Toasted Gastrobrunch is it! Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping make our wedding weekend so special! — The Garcias

The food was fresh and hot, the wait staff was pleasant, the one whom was assisting us and seated us was not the waiter. We would have preferred to give her the tip because she was so pleasant.

We arrived at 9:50am to this ihop and we were the only family besides one other in section, we sat for 15 mins before anyone even asked what we’d like to drink. Then after we FINALLY ordered, about 5 more tables were sat and they ALL received their food before we had gotten anything. It was exactly 10:52 when we decided to walk out (never got our food🤬) due to lack of service!! Made us even more angry when we could see the servers just laughing and chatting in the back section. Shame on that place for allowing customers to experience that. You have been warned.

100% horrible from the service to the food. Denny's is way better. Ihop is a ghetto waffle house. The lady with fake eyelashes was rude and kept coming back every 2 seconds not asking but demanded what we wanted to order. When we got the food, eyelashes were in my eggs and I showed my date the eyelashes in my food. Then my date looked at her food and saw the same thing in her food. We got up and left, told the people at the front counter we're not paying for the food as we didn't even eat it. I've always had and still do have respect for waitresses but not this one. We tried Ihop but Denny's is my go too. Just ask anyone at Denny's off the 76 or by the 78. I always tip my waitress a minimum 20% and I go often so they know me but also since I go often, I also know who is new as well and I tip the new employee 50% and I always tip cash so they don't have to worry about being taxed on the tip. I'm not trying to be mean to the waitress but she did that on her own as if it was her last day and she didn't care at all. I wonder if anyone has gotten sick after eating here because I would not be surprised.

It was okay. The waitress was in a hurry when she was taking our order. The pancakes were a little overcooked which I was fine with but the wife wasn't as thrilled. The rest of the experience was okay - the waitress did slow down a bit so she was more pleasant after that although she never did come take the credit card after she said she would. Overall I think they could improve in those ways.

I was looking for a great breakfast burrito and found this place. It’s all open air seating, but a great view of the Pacific Ocean. I got there California burrito and it was on point. They have two different sauces for the burrito and they were both great. I grabbed a cup of coffee and it was good, but not really hot. Still good, but the food, service and view made up for it. You have to stop by and check it out.

Awesome cafe. I started occasionally coming here a few weeks ago. I usually get the California Breakfast Burrito (basically a California Burrito with eggs). Yesterday, I also got a Banana/Strawberry/OJ smoothie. Both the burrito and smoothie are pretty good. They're a bit expensive, but willing to pay it. Also, they close at 2pm. I kinda wish they stayed open till 2:30/3 because there have been times I've been crusing by between 2 and 2:30 and want to stop by.

The loco moco is great. Breakfast burrito pretty good but has a sweetness in one of the ingredients that threw me off. The English muffin breakfast sandwich is a size that should cost $2 max. Their menu has a handwritten note that their prices can change at any time from what menu shows, they charge 3% if you don’t pay cash. They use the common tactic of Serrano comments or questions when it’s too screen time. Some business took the “I appreciate you” era during Covid to heart and are taking as much as people will put up with paying. Soon napkins and utensils will have a surcharge. I consider all this a cost of eating with a beach view.

Love the vibes at this place. Tons of plants around and plenty of fresh air. I ordered a plain latte. It wasn't really anything special, and I found it to be a bit pricey for what it is, as the hot selection only comes in 12oz for ~$6. Orders also took some time to come out, which wasn't an issue for me, but could be if I was in a rush. Overall would recommend checking this place out, since it is a unique atmosphere and offers a variety of interesting menu options.

Divine breakfast food! My friend suggested we try this popular restaurant down the street from her hotel while we were in town. There was a long line outside on a Thursday morning and it was moving pretty slow. They have a large menu selection and everything on it looks good. We were drooling standing in line to order and watching all the delicious looking dishes being delivered to the other customers at their tables. You order at the counter with the friendly staff and are given a number stand. Open seating and there is lots of it inside and outside. A popular item was their giant cinnamon buns and it was so good! Fluffy and not too sweet. I ordered the chilaquiles and it was good too though I wish the salsa was thicker. My tortilla chips were drowning and getting soggy. My friend who ordered the grilled cheese sandwich said it looked good but fell short. She claimed it was a bit too sweet. Another friend ordered the omelet and loved it. The pancake was fluffy and perfectly cooked.

Visited Cafe Topes for breakfast on a Friday morning, and it was a pleasant experience! The place wasn’t too crowded, which made for a relaxed vibe. I ordered the Crack’n Eggs, and they nailed it; eggs were perfectly over-easy, the potatoes were well-seasoned, and the crack was tender and cooked just right at medium. My wife got the Classic Benedict; one egg was spot-on, but the other was slightly off. The country ham was super thick and hearty, though we prefer thinner Canadian bacon. Still, it was good quality. The Bloody Mary was a miss for her, hard to pinpoint why, but maybe the wine-based vodka or lack of that rich, tomato-y kick we love. On the plus side, they handled my wife’s shellfish allergy with care, and she had no issues after the meal. Bathrooms were clean and nice, with two unisex options. The water setup was, let me say, different; the pipe looks like it comes from the roof, so jokingly, I felt like I was drinking roof water! It tasted fine, though, and seemed well-filtered. Overall, solid spot with great food we’d come back!

Dija Mara is a trendy Indonesian restaurant in Oceanside, known for its elegant Southeast Asian cuisine and industrial-chic decor. The menu offers a variety of vegetarian dishes alongside meat and seafood options, including charred vegetables, gado gado, tofu rendang, and roti with vegan curry.
This place is probably the best restaurant I’ve eaten at this year. The atmosphere is absolutely perfect for any group of people (including first dates)! But it can get a little noisy. I can’t wait for the group to be able to expand to a larger space! We had the Mi goreng, tuna skewers, charred eggplant, and roti with vegetarian curry. The roti and accompanying curry and the eggplant were my personal favorite. It’s actually mind blowing how delicious the charred eggplant was; I’d never eaten eggplant that was cooked throughout so well but wasn’t mushy and also such a complex flavor profile. The mi goreng was good too, but I’d rather have something else next time! The tuna skewers, like the eggplant, were so soft and delicious!

We walked by shortly after they opened and they welcomed us graciously even without a reservation. It’s very clear though that it’s best to make a reservation for the future, as this is a very busy restaurant. The staff were very kind, and the food service was quick! Food was excellent and filling, and in my opinion, the prices were fair. Overall a great time. Just a note, I think I would try a different skewer in the future because while the tuna was good, I think it lacked a little flavor compared to the other dishes we ordered.

100% recommend, add it to your bucket list, take your friends and family. It’s a great restaurant. Food is delicious, here’s why: - flavor combination and balance is spot on and the dishes are great if your looking for dishes/flavors you won’t find at most other restaurants - great variety of dishes without having an overwhelming menu. I’d say there is something for everyone. There are lighter dishes like the roti and papaya salad and heavier and spicy ones like the eggplant (chefs kiss, fr). - portions are good, as in, not too small, but also not too large. We had just enough of a dish and had room to keep trying other dishes. - ok ok the dessert is perfection, please get it My favs so far have been the roti with both dipping sauces (one is spicy), the eggplant (spicy), the beef tartar, and the ayam penyet (fried chicken dish). The papaya salad was delicious and refreshing, however I was expecting sweet, orange papaya and I think this used green papaya, perhaps both? Good, bright lime flavor. Make reservations in advance, street parking should be easy to find. Bar is for walk-in’s, but it stays pretty busy here. Happy dining!

I really enjoyed this place! But the experience could have been a little better. First id like to tip my hat to the chef. The food was absolutely amazing. Every dish was a 10 out of 10. Exquisite. But, the service lacked a little. We didn't see her much. I wanted drink refills and didn't get them. It was our 19th year anniversary and my wife's birthday so I was hoping the experience could have been better. The dining area is rather small but that was OK. Parking was easy to find but could be limited due to the street location. I'll definitely come back and try the experience again. (Try the eggplant!)

Food was good. I ate everything from pork belly skewer to chicken thigh skewer and the beef rendang along with the extra coconut rice. A server asked me after putting away my dishes if I liked it and I gave her a curt “yeah” and I am sure she took it as “not really” lol. I ate everything therefore I liked it! lol. I had no reservation so I had to wait 45mins to get in. It was worth it. They’re fully booked tonight and some showed up like me with no reservation. The Pineapple juice was good. My bill was $81.19 for myself. I ate alone. I made it an even $100.00 with the tip.

It mainly missed the ball in 2 ways: 1) The staff are so friendly, but service overall is slow and food is not even close to being worth what they charged. 2) They're connected to 2 WORLD CLASS resorts that provide an extraordinary experience. For this place to fall below expectations in such an epic way was extremely disappointing. The excellence of the people skills of the staff brought this review from a 1 star to 2. The biggest issue? We bought a $100 20oz ribeye. Coming from Vegas, that's a justified price for a delicious steak. That's why we ordered it. What we got was a steak that tasted like it was cooked the day before and then microwaved before serving to us. Even after the remake. I would rather take a $14 steak from Costco that my wife cooks herself. Also what was mind blowing was how slooooooow the service was. I understand if food takes a while to come out, but a wine and cocktail took 30 minutes. We stayed at Mission Pacific Beach Resort (which was amazing) and Chase gave us food credit, so we decided to use the credit on Piper... big miss-steak. We will definitely be back to the resort, but will be avoiding Piper!

We visited Piper for Mother’s Day brunch, and everything felt thoughtfully done ,from the ocean-view setup to the fresh, beautifully presented food. Highlights: oysters, shrimp, and an omelette station that really delivered. My cocktail was carefully crafted and absolutely hit the spot. I’m already planning to come back for the prime rib and white asparagus,they looked amazing. Great setting, great food, and perfect for a special occasion.

We stayed at the Mission Pacific Resort and breakfast was included with our FHR booking. Reservation was made through the desk at check in. Our 9am time a lot was easy to handle in a weeks day. The crowd was very light…weekends are much busier…a buffet is served on weekends. We were seated at a window table with a nice view of the outside street and terrace. The menu had lots of options that all sounded delicious. Beginning with a cappuccino that is the best I have had lately in my travels…thick, foamy and full of flavor. Selecting the Crab Eggs Benedict, my wife had the O’side breakfast. The food all came relatively quickly. The poached eggs on my Benedict were overcooked The rest of the breakfast was cooked just right and was filling and full of flavor.

Came here for a fast Dinner, they delivered. We had a retreat to attend, and had to eat fast and go. Our waiter was super understanding and got our food out. The goat cheese ravioli was to die for!! Excellent. Wish I had more time to explore more of the amazing foods they had. Definitely a place to visit!!

This was by far the best meal I’ve had in a restaurant in the last two years! The food was absolutely exceptional – truly high-end in both taste and presentation. Our server was not only professional and knowledgeable but also one of the kindest people I’ve ever met in a dining experience. Every detail, from start to finish, made the evening unforgettable. I enjoyed every single moment of it and can’t wait to return!

This restaurant was a great last meal for our honeymoon trip, the service was fantastic and the food was delicious. We ordered the goat cheese raviolo and a chocolate cheesecake for dessert. The drinks are also really good, just expect higher price points due to location!

I’m really sad to write this review because I had high expectations. We booked a reservation for seven people for a little Baby Sprinkle for one of our friends this past Sunday. When we arrived at our 10:30am reservation, they seemed like they didn’t know about the reservation. At that point they had to get the table set up, which took about 15 minutes. I had intentionally made a reservation for inside and they sat us outside where unfortunately there were bees/flies and the ambience wasn’t what we had planned on. Online it states that breakfast is served daily from 7 AM to 11 AM and has a full menu. Unfortunately when we were sat we are informed that there is a much smaller menu on Saturday and Sunday because they offer brunch. We were not planning on getting brunch, so this was disappointing to find out. The server was nice, but once we ordered our food he never came back until we were done with all our food which lead to no one’s water being filled up until a much later time. Overall it was a nice place, and we went in with an expectation of having nicer service due to the pricing of things, and the overall quality of the restaurant, but unfortunately, we were sadly disappointed. Seems like there was a lack of communication in multiple areas of the business. I only write this review so that hopefully they can improve and better serve future groups of people.

The staff at Grandma's Restaurant are incredibly friendly. I ordered their Oceana eggs, which is a variation of eggs Benedict with avocado instead of ham. The dish was satisfactory, although I'm not a fan of runny egg whites and unfortunately, this time they were overly runny. Despite that, the overall experience was delightful. While our server was very pleasant, he only checked on us once and it took quite a while for him to do so after we received our meals.
I ordered the #1. Two eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy. The food was delicious. The bacon top quality and the gravy was piping hot!

Had breakfast here. That was so good. We had hash browns, omelette, scrambled eggs, gravy.. the food was so good and felt like home cooked. The service was great.

it feels a lot like a midwestern diner, but it's clearly californian because the pies use canned filling. i've been here a few times, different days and times, and there's always something kind of off about the food -- too bland or too sour or just an unusual texture. it's not awful, in fact it's pretty charming. definitely tastes like something MY grandma would've cooked, but she wasn't a chef, so manage your expectations.

After reeding the mostly positive reviews, I thought I’d give this place a go. I was in the mood for a simple burger, I certainly got that. It was bland, when I mean bland, no salt no pepper no sauce of any kind. The fries were okay tho. I had to add so much Tabasco, salt and pepper to make it somewhat okay, but it never was. My water cup ran dry and was never replenished, now I could have called for service but shouldn’t have too. Although I’ve not experienced the whole menu, I firmly believe if you can’t get something as simple as a cheese burger correct, there is nothing you can. USA is home to the arguably the worlds best burgers, this place is so far off the apex it’s not funny. Customer service as okay, but, I did feel like I was inconveniencing the wait person by placing my order and asking for the bill. Sorry, wanted to like this place, but it’s just nothing to write home about. Just nothing remotely positive to say. I don’t know who’s writing these positive reviews, but this is honest.

This is my favorite breakfast restaurant in Oceanside. It’s never too busy, the service is excellent, and the food is always delicious. The chicken fried steak is homemade and is the best in town. Grandma’s truly has a family atmosphere and they accommodate large groups if needed, have plentiful outdoor seating, and have a counter if you are flying solo. Love this place, keep up the good work!

Stumbled upon Grandma’s Restaurant by chance, and boy am I glad I did! Our wait staff was so incredibly kind, and very enthusiastic about his job. He was a joy to talk to and took wonderful care of us. Then… THE FOOOOOOD. The onion rings are made as you order them, and come out piping hot. I ordered the Ortega chile burger, and it was everything I was craving. Super juicy, perfectly cooked, and so flavorful. My mom had the pancakes and couldn’t stop raving about them—which is high praise because she is really picky about pancakes. We would absolutely come back again, and highly recommend this place!

The Westin Carlsbad Resort & Spa is a sophisticated hotel with two restaurants, an outdoor pool, and a spa. It's pet-friendly and offers access to the pools at its sister property, the Sheraton. The quieter pool area features outdoor games, making it ideal for families with older kids. The hotel is praised for its seamless service, customized menus catering to various dietary needs, and exquisite outdoor ceremony location with coastal views.
What a WONDERFUL weekend!! Beautiful, relaxing, CLEAN!! Michelle at the front desk really went above and beyond to facilitate a fantastic stay! Our server, Summer, at the 20 Twenty was amazing! So fun! And hats off to all the valet staff including Jack and Devin for the shuttle rides and timely retrieval of our car every time we needed. I cannot say enough great things about our experience--especially since there were two other big events happening at the hotel and we were noticed, attended and cared for. 10/10 recommend!!

If I could give the hotel a zero I would! Was there for a wedding. Arrived at 4:45 PM. Check in time is after 3 PM. Our hotel rooms were not ready. Had to wait an hour. We were told we would get connecting rooms by three different people and did not. They kept reassuring us because we had young children. It would not be an issue. We have 3 kids so it was super inconvenient. There were other guests that were already awaiting over an hour and a half for their rooms. So this was an issue for many many people. Manager, all she kept stating was, she was sorry and that they are shortstaffed and cleaners will be checking rooms within minutes. Within minutes, turned into an hour. We were late for our wedding rehearsal dinner that was being hosted by them. Guest services, room service was complete crap. Never ever again!

Marriott elite member here. Beds are comfy. Now with the bad. Sound insulation between rooms is terrible and I can hear 3rd floor guests walking around and guests in next door room having normal conversations. Light bleed under doors. Refrigerator in room makes weird noises. Uncomfortable cold ac in lobby and restaurant area. I would not stay at this property again due to these issues

Purchased a Day Pass as a reward for an employee. Beautiful property. I specifically called to inquire about the services (food & drink) was told there would be pool service. There was none. Kept being told the time was changing for the opening of pool restaurant. It never opened, then missed the main restaurant hours. After asking several different front desk employees, we were finally offered a couple menu options from the main restaurant. Definitely disappointing. I could of went to a mediocre facility paid less with the expectation of not having any pool side service.

It was such a pleasure working with her and she made sure all was set and prepared logistically. We also enjoyed wonderful lunches outdoors at the restaurant onsite. Everything was very clean and staff was very accommodating to our needs even if last minute request. Our event ran very smooth from start to finish. I’d highly recommend business meetings here! They have so much meeting room space - it’s incredible :)

This place was amazing. The rooms were a little small, but you're not there for just the rooms, but it did count. The best things, we were 11 minutes from the beach and they had a pretty good breakfast. It is right next to the highway, and a lot of amenities. The parking situation wasn't the best, so we parked where we could.

Marriott & Westin Should Be Ashamed of This Location Normally, Marriott and Westin stand for quality—but this property has zero standards across service, staff, and overall experience. They slap on the “resort & spa” label just to justify inflated fees without delivering anything close to a resort experience. Ratings: Front Desk: 0/10 Staff: 0/10 Valet: 1/10 Room: 1/10 Grounds: 6/10 Restaurant: 2/10 Value: 2/10 Check-in was chaos: one overwhelmed front desk agent, long lines, and no greeting. After waiting nearly an hour, the staff member literally ran off and never returned. The next person gave us a key with no info, no map, and no dog form. We had to find our room ourselves. The room smelled like mildew, the AC was broken, and the front desk refused to move us—claiming no availability. After being ignored repeatedly and watching staff prioritize flight attendants over waiting guests, we finally spoke to someone who admitted there were plenty of rooms. Still, no dog bowls or form ever arrived. Two hours after arrival, we still weren’t settled. Dinner at the hotel restaurant took 90 minutes for two basic dishes, with no updates or apologies. The place was half empty but painfully slow and overpriced. Valet was a disaster: 20+ minute waits every time, phones that dropped calls, and no staff in sight. Guests were left to retrieve their own keys while cars sat untouched. Just self-park—valet is a joke. Bottom line: As a former Platinum Elite member, this was the worst Marriott experience I’ve ever had. This Westin doesn’t care about guests—only your money. Avoid at all costs.

I experienced a serious security breach at this hotel when I found a third room key inside my room, even though I was only issued two at check-in. Security later admitted a third key had been made, and it wasn’t used until two days later—while my “Do Not Disturb” sign was on the door. Instead of giving me answers, Assistant Manager Anna, Operations Director Colton, and General Manager Leslie all disregarded my concerns and tried to make it seem like I was in the wrong. I have since sent multiple emails with no response. I hardly slept the last two nights worrying who else had access to my room. If you care about your safety, stay elsewhere. Worst hotel experience by far.

Barbecue restaurant

Creole restaurant
Felix's BBQ with Soul is a popular restaurant chain in California, known for its hearty plates of ribs and other authentic Cajun barbecue fare. The light-filled and airy dining rooms offer plenty of seating for guests to enjoy their meals. Some of the staple dishes include gumbo, collard greens, red beans, and crispy fried chicken. The atmosphere is described as laidback yet classy.
On Sundays, they have a musician who plays the piano and a flute who does a great job. I have been there twice on a Sunday. First Sunday for sit-down dinner second Sunday for Mother's Day brunch. They are continuously busy, which is never a problem. However, to ask and distinguish between regular service and brunch, is a good idea to ask. After asking how many were in our party we were directed to sit and wait while they cleaned a table. We were not asked if we were there for regular service or brunch service. I waited for about thirty minutes or so and told them we were there for brunch. We were seated right away with about an hour or so left for the brunch. They need more workers for a Sunday. They are always very busy and can be neglectful of the table. We waited so long for our check we had to track down a server that was not ours and ask for our check. Truthfully, we were sitting right by the door we could have just walked out. That's how neglectful they were of our table. But we would never do that. Our mom loves going there. The time we went before for Sunday lunch our server did a very good job of checking on us and making sure we were taken care of with our drinks, our food, and even a dessert. I don't remember her name, but she has red hair. Perhaps because we came as brunch, had ended, so she had more time for us. Overall, it is a great place and good food. I love the atmosphere and I will be back.

First time finding this hidden gem. Customer service was amazing, friendly and helpful staff. super clean, beautiful out door seating. I ordered catfish dinner, chicken tenders, chicken dinner(dark) and a slice of sweet potato pie... With tip was $85. Was well seasoned, flavorful, my kiddos loved the tenders and fish nuggets as well as the sides. Would go again. 4 out of 5 stars pricing was a factor.

Felix’s BBQ in Oceanside is a hidden gem! The meats were perfectly cooked—tender, juicy, and packed with smoky flavor. You can really taste the care they put into everything. The seasoning was spot on, and every bite had that rich, authentic BBQ taste. Great portions, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely one of the best BBQ spots I’ve tried in Southern California. Highly recommended!

So holy crap that catfish is good!!! I absolutely love southern food like this one. Cornmeal and fried to perfection. I enjoyed the other items, too. The baby backs were great. Hush puppies were the best I've had. Other sides really good...add a little honey on the cornbread muffins and hush puppies :) But oh my lawd that catfish!!! Every bit as authentic and delicious as I've had in Florida, Alabama, etc :) Wish I could make it to all you can eat catfish day 😁 Highly recommend. Friendly service with a southern charm.

🧂 phenomenal, authentic southern style brisket and sides the platter is served with a steak knife but there's no need 🤤 🍽️ since the meat is exceptionally fork tender, very flavorful by itself, well marbled, perfectly juicy, good pink smoke line and a nice char 🔥 sauce is a very thin pour, smokey, a great tang and a little kick at the end the spicy sauce is just as good, with an extra kick at both ends 🌶️ classic sides including 🧀 mac & cheese is medium elbow pasta al dente, creamy with a great cheese pull 🥬 the greens are some of the best I've ever had, simmered in turkey stock with minced garlic totally mouthwatering thank you so much 🌽 cornbread muffins offered as appetizer are very aromatic, great crumble served with whipped butter 🧈 4.2 🔥🔥🔥🔥 follow for More National brisket plate reviews 🛣️

When I'm craving fried chicken and I'm in North County, I always drop by Felix's BBQ. It's a simple fried chicken but has so much flavor and paired perfectly with their sweet potato fries and corn bread. They're my go-to lunch place when I was working in Ocean Ranch and I also had their BBQ ribs which was also good. The owners and staff are friendly and treats you like family.

We are finally home in California, and we chose Felix’s to celebrate — what a perfect decision! 🎉 I had happy tears the whole night. We met Mr. Robert, the flute player, and enjoyed hours of incredible live music with the band. The vibe, the atmosphere, and the energy were everything we hoped for and more. After five years of being out of state, this felt like the warmest welcome home. Sitting back, relaxing, soaking it all in — it was such a special, emotional moment for me. The food is every bit as amazing as I remembered, and the music made the night unforgettable. Felix’s truly has such a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone wanting great food, beautiful music, and a place that makes you feel right at home.

Banana Dang Coffee is a vibrant and colorful cafe with an artsy vibe that offers a variety of coffee drinks, smoothies, and toasts. The founder, who was once the lead singer for a globally touring rock band, has brought this tropical island-inspired coffee shop from Puerto Rico to the Pacific coastline. In addition to excellent coffee, they also serve banana-infused fruit smoothies, artistically prepared toasts, vegan donuts, cookies, and pop tarts.
If you’re looking for a unique space to grab a smoothie, latte, a quick bite and do some remote work, Banana Dang Coffee is a small family-owned café in downtown Oceanside that is a local favorite; especially with the younger crowd. Located just along the Coast Hwy, this spot is famous for their awesome selection of “Happy Toast” menu options and their smoothies (all made with bananas & almond milk). The interior is very simplistic and has a few counter-seats, table seats and lounge chairs in the rear. They showcase a small diverse collection of painted artwork (for sale) and the ambiance is pretty modern-hipster (alt pop & rock music playing). They have a clean bathroom and also free WiFi for customers and although the seating isn’t super-cozy, but it works for a quick sit to relax. One con is that they have a limited amount of power outlet access points. The customers service is average, but not dissatisfactory (younger staff who are always chatting amongst themselves). They are friendly, but not super-attentive; just average. Where this place shines is their TOAST BAR MENU that is super tasty! It’s simple, but there’s something for everyone to love! I recommend the Crunchy Honey, Nutty Banana and Choco Toast. Their smoothie menu is super as well! Boasting great options such as : Nutty Dang, Green Tea Dang and the Vanilla Dang. Overall, this gem is a place that you’ll want to visit just for their unique specialty menu and for a less-crowded option to doing remote work.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE: I've had this on my list to try for a few months. We live in LA, so when we came South, I had to make a pitstop! Was very happy with the Dirty Banana Mylk! I wish there was a closer location to LA or Long Beach. AMBIANCE: Noise level is average. It was a bit dark and felt stuffy inside. A few tables and counter seating near the window. ORDERED: [5/5] Dirty Banana Mylk: blended to perfection and not too sweet! [4/5] Banana Latte: banana flavor was very light in this, but still good. They have small bites, but we didn't try any of it. SERVICE: Service was good. On our visit, there was a parade, so staff appeared a bit distracted, but service was still quick.

Used to go here after surfing in the 90s. The original owners grandson was working the place. I love this place because it's like a diner with such a huge menu with breakfast all day. And no servers, which I like. I had the pastrami sando and my wife and kid had gyros (it's Greek owned) and yummy smoothies. Also split the zucchini fries with ranch. So good!! They had tvs with news and sports. Some of the tables needed cleaning but the poor guys were short staffed. Love these old school joints!

Nice classic diner experience with a wide assortment of available sandwiches and burgers. They also serve breakfast and if that available I believe all day. I chose a fish sandwich. It was humongous, lots of lettuce and tomato. I probably should have taken some of the lettuce out and eating it al a salad. Fish was nice and flaky not overcooked. The whole thing was very delicious. Sandwich did break apart a little bit so be gentle with it. Fish Sandwich 2 pieces of deep-fried fresh codfish, tartar sauce, lettuce, tomato, and pickle. $10.50 I plan on returning to Oceanside in the next couple of years and this is a definite return to try out their breakfast or other sandwiches

It’s such a cozy and welcoming spot for a family meal. Highly recommend!

Some good grub. Father said one of the best Chile Relleno he has had. I got a burrito combo. While looks plain had good flavor but must been smallest burrito I’ve ever had. More like an enchilada Will go again though. Offer senior discounts and daily specials.

I really have enjoyed this place in the past when I came, but when I came in around 12pm July 6 I was looking forward to the menudo and when I received it as I’m eating it there was still pork hair on the menudo so it wasn’t properly cleaned and Marietas is my go to for menudo because they do typically clean their meat properly and if you zoom in on the photo you can see the hair I pulled out and the piece on the side of the bowl is where it was and it still had hair. Then it got worse…I found a CATERPILLAR in my food! And to top it off the what I believe was the manager came to my table and insulted my intelligence by gaslighting me into trying to believe it was “grease from the meat” as he crumbled it right in my face…you can CLEARLY see it was a caterpillar. I’m more disappointed in his dishonesty and insult when I saw with my eyes the mouth and legs of the caterpillar.

The huevos rancheros was good. I think next time I will try the shrimp burrito though. The food was just a little salty but decent. The service was okay. Also, the price was just a little high but will not break the bank. The salsa was red and slightly chunky with medium heat but tasty and the corn chips were crispy. I will give this place another try.

The service is always impeccable. Just ask for what you want and it’s yours. If you want salsa habanero, no problem. Chips and salsa come automatically with carrots and onions. The food is very good if you order the Colorado or chili Verde no problem. Everything is very tasty. The margaritas however, are very expensive but absolutely delicious.

There is a little patio outside for nice days, the bar is little with 3 TVs but the eating area is large. Food is good. I love the carnitas and fajitas. Not a whole lot of parking but check on the side and back. There is a side door to go in.

Not a big fan. Smells great when you're outside, like good burgers. But inside is a different story. If I wanted a salad, I would have ordered one. The meat patty is so small and doesn't taste right. The seasoning is off and the meat just tastes like it's meat flavored. McDonald's has better burgers than this place and that's sad to say. Won't be back, that's for sure.

Angelos Oside 5 ✨️ for the experience!! First i went in later like 8:45pm... so I wasn't expecting anything too impressive... hungry yes. Angelos; convince of a drivethru, & option of a dinning room. This place was a place i would drive past my whole life, stopped in a couple times over the years... i used it more like a landmark... But this time.... I really appreciated that they literally everything under one roof!! Pancakes, burgers, burritos, shakes... the fries you guys... the fries hit the spot. Cheeseburgers all around at our table one Chicago Dog & an order of Fries enough to serve as a side for two people or all five of us (2 adults 3 kids). Chicago Dog gets a solid 3.5-4 as my husband recently went on a trip to Chicago & really had fresh memory to compare it to. Cheeseburger has a unique patty taste definitely some in house seasoning going on which I appreciate. Shredded Lettuce was a plus (sets it apart from one giant piece of wet lettuce hanging off most burgers in the area). Bun is lovely, I would dare to say a bit more salt or cheese please but I know that's probly just my opinion coming through. Star of the show was the ambiance (Oside from ceiling to the floor, you know the heart is pure oceanside) & the fries... thick fries you actually know came off a potato, they were 5 stars. Thanks for the burger Angelos 🍔 💛 And THE FRIES!!! 🍟 💛💛💛💛💛

As a lifelong Chicagoland kid, I have opinions. I’ve been in San Diego for 21 years and have rarely come to Oceanside. Same for Angelos, as we just discovered this tonight. A- for the dogs as the bun just couldn’t handle the heft of the ingredients but the flavors were excellent. The Gyro was massive! Again, great flavors, A+. Cheese fries were great. A+. Next time we’re here, we’ll stop by. And the beer list? Ridiculous.

Ordered the monster bacon Cheese burger combo. For the price definitely better then MCD. Nice and big, good amount of lettuce, 1000 island dressing added to the well balanced flavor.

I asked for all bacon no sausage but didn’t get that and asked for iced latte and they made a hot one .

First and foremost I want to say that the staff is extremely kind and humble and very clean, on top of that the food was extremely delicious with literal taste of freshness. I want to add on how clean the area is for being a very old backery/restaurant. The pastry's alone have a 26/30 points on My scale for freshness, portion size, decoration, and fluffiness. I highly recommend this little hidden gem of a place to eat.

The pork ribs in green chili sauce at San Luis Rey Bakery and Restaurant are absolutely delightful! The tender pork ribs are perfectly cooked, smothered in a flavorful green chili sauce that has just the right amount of spice. The sides of cheesy refried beans and fluffy Spanish rice complement the main dish beautifully, making it a well-rounded meal. The fresh, warm tortillas served on the side are ideal for soaking up the delicious sauce. The cozy ambiance and friendly service further enhance the dining experience. A must-try for lovers of authentic Mexican cuisine!

I went to pick up a pound cake that I ordered on Friday on a Sunday. It was never made and they just threw one in a box and handed it to me. I said it is supposed to be frosted. They young man didn't know what to do. He goes behind the counter and throws some glaze on it. I said that isn't lemon frosting like I ordered. He sent out the manager who was an older gentleman and rude. He said if I frosting it i will have to charge you for a cake. That made no sense. So he went to the back slapped on a blob of white frosting and said here. At no point did they apologize for not having it made and the inconvenience. An apology would have gone a long way. But he was so rude is why I said I needed to do a review.

The atmosphere is nice, they had a live pair performing. It was a tad bit loud but good ambience. The bakery and restaurant are separated so it’s easy to get your bakery items without having to walk through tables. The food was tasty and well portioned. The chilaquiles were not spicy at all, I wish they were a bit more spicy but it’s understandable.

I went into the restaurant as I had been driving for a while and needed to use the facilities. The bathroom was terrible. Wet floor. Toilet paper on the floor. Granted, this could have just happened, but it was still my first impression of the place. I placed my order and paid as the fellow helping me disappeared to help drive thru customers. As I had still not received my receipt, I didn't know what my order number was. Still, they were friendly, so I'll keep it at 4 stars.

I really wanted to love Jitters Coffee—it’s got a chill atmosphere, good vibes, and it wasn’t overcrowded. The comfortable décor and mellow playlist make it the perfect spot to hang out and sip a coffee…if you’ve got time to spare. I ordered their breakfast sandwich (menu price + tax = $20), opting for the “real” version with cheddar and sausage since the rest of the menu is vegan. After ordering, they came back to say they could do real cheddar but not real sausage—so I ended up with genuine cheddar and vegan sausage. Speaking of slow: despite the café being pretty empty, it took a whopping 25 minutes to get my one sandwich. The staff were friendly and apologetic, but if you’re in a hurry, this isn’t your place. That said, if you want to chill, don’t mind paying premium prices, and are into vegan-forward menus (or just love real cheddar), Jitters is a cool spot to unwind—just plan ahead.

Came here after seeing a coffee lovers IG advertisement. Another plus was hearing about the owners and the potential for meeting Jason. The atmosphere is cute and cosy, and the avocado toast is LOADED and delicious! The "latte" was super disappointing...not your typical craft latte. Tasted a lot more like drip coffee with a splash of milk. (Picture as presented :/ ) If you"re vegan you'll appreciate the flavors of their food. Never saw Jason! :( But in all seriousness, great avocados.

With a beachside neighborhood setting along Coast Highway, the cafe exudes adventurous seafaring vibes and offers ample seating for patrons to enjoy their drinks.
Definitely one of the best coffee shops 🤎 the coffee is strong, slightly acidic in taste, which I personally love because the lattes aren’t too muted in (coffee) flavor, and it pairs really well with the flavors available, especially the seasonal combinations. There’s a fresh array of pastries every morning. For a less sweet option go for the cowboy cookie, medium sweet a pie tart, for sweet the morning bun (a personal favorite), and they made perfect croissants 👌🏻 There’s indoor & outdoor seating; there’s often dogs outside ☺️ And there’s a small parking area right outside (in front of a red and teal mural)

While enjoying another coffee date with my wife, we were quickly served a bold cup of coffee ☕ at Revolution Roasters, in Oceanside. The coffee shop is cashless, which is sort of unique. Revolution offers a variety of coffee drinks and pastries. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. There were plenty of people inside either talking or working on laptops 💻. The background music added to the ambience of the coffee shop. They are mindful of pets 🐕, and they encourage outdoor seating to accommodate pet owners. Parking is limited.

I saw this spot down in Oceanside. I ordered the Hot Maple latte and Iced Butterscotch Latte both watered down. The Hot Maple Latte lacked in the taste department with the maple flavor. A slight a hint. Though the coffee wasn’t bad like bitter, it just didn’t have much impact on flavor. I loved the art foam design though. Neither did the Butterscotch Latte which tasted like a regular latte. Ambience was nice, staff was nice

The espresso here was super nice and had a distinct flavor profile that I really enjoyed. But I'm so mad because I came to this spot without trying anything to eat (I'm off sugar for a bit), and their bakery case was LEGIT. I took some longing, wistful pictures to share, at least. And in my (super professional) opinion, the offerings looked absolutely tip top. I'm definitely going to go back soon. For science.

There is one person who works at The Cup and is nice to customers: Camden. One other person works part-time for Oceanside Fire Department and treats customers with basic dignity. The other proprietors/employees of The Cup treat their customers with blatant disrespect, outright hostility, and in at least three cases racial bias that have caused people to stop patronizing their establishment. I used to visit here to grab a cup of coffee and work remotely over the past four years, and the loud conversations that these people have about their customer base is nauseating: They harbor absolutely no respect for the community at large and care only about their money. I am no longer a customer at The Cup--I live in the neighborhood and walk by once in a while--and the proprietors/employees actively approach to engage in harassment and abuse toward others in the public space. These people are threatening, intimidating, racist, sexist, and generally pretty sad and remorseful about poor life decisions, all of which reflects in the loud conversations they tend to air in the establishment when certain customers are around. The aforementioned matters of fact are based on their own words and actions from inside the establishment and not my own opinions. My personal opinion is that the drip coffee is thoroughly disgusting. Take your money elsewhere!

I’ve visited this café twice, mostly drawn in by the high ratings and convenient location near my boyfriend’s PT. First visit: I tried the bacon, egg & cheese croissant sandwich on the staff’s recommendation. The croissant was very flaky—so much that it created quite a mess. While the ingredients balanced decently together, the sandwich was surprisingly bland without the bacon. It was filling, but at $10.50, I can’t say it felt worth the price. Second visit: I ordered the sausage breakfast burrito, which was listed as a popular item on Google. When I opened the container, I was greeted with a pool of grease—not the most appetizing sight. As I ate, I noticed the sausage wasn’t evenly distributed, leaving many bites without any. Like the croissant sandwich, the burrito itself lacked flavor and relied heavily on the salsa for taste. Personally, I expect a breakfast burrito to hold its own, with the salsa serving as an enhancement—not a crutch. $11 for a bland burrito full of grease? No thank you. Service: The staff was friendly, and service was quick on both visits, which I appreciated. I also tried the pumpkin shaken espresso during my first visit, and that was actually pretty good. The pastries in the case always look tempting, so maybe that’s what I’ll try next time. Overall, I’ve been disappointed with the food, especially given the café’s 4.5-star rating. Great service, but unfortunately, the flavors just didn’t live up to the hype.

It was a last minute decision to stop here for breakfast and glad we did! O'side gem for sure! 😋😍 Pastries were a 10/10. Eggs Benedict were on point. Omelet was delicious,hash browns needed some salt but will definitely come here again. OMG cheesecake with berries...best ever!!!

This place is THE spot for a croissant . It’s right by the police station and Pitstop Diner (with plenty of parking, bless), and it’s become our go-to for weekend breakfast. The crepes are so good, and I’m obsessed with the matcha almond croissants. They also sell whole cakes that are seriously beautiful. It always smells amazing when you walk in, just super cozy and welcoming. We love it here.

Best place for croissants and best place for Strawberry matcha that I found in north county. I really like their banana bread latte too. In both drinks, the strawberry puree and the banana cream on top of the latte was delicious and tasted organic. The matcha tasted more premium too. They have a points system after earning 100 pts you get $5 off your order.

I love this breakfast spot a great deal, I sometimes order in, but in order to see what pastries they have we go in person from time to time and they never disappoint. Today we had an absolutely amazing ham cheese and jalapeño croissant that I hope remains as a permanent menu item. It was SO delicious I wanted to take home two more. Their seasonal drinks are always such a hit too. I had an orange peach refresher that I'm still daydreaming about. The staff are always so lovely and a pleasure to talk to as well. 🫶🏽

Denny's is a beloved casual diner chain that serves up classic American comfort food, including all-day breakfast favorites. After an afternoon adventure, I decided to treat my mom to a meal at Denny's since she had a craving for a burger. We were not disappointed! I indulged in the Big Bird sandwich, loaded with Swiss cheese, turkey, lettuce, and tomato on grilled Artisan bread—absolutely delicious!
Following an afternoon excursion, I took mom for a bite to eat at Denny’s. She was craving a burger, and although there is a Habit Burger in the same shopping center, we knew Denny’s makes good food. I got the Big Bird sandwich that has Swiss cheese, tomato, turkey, and lettuce on a grilled Artisan bread. Delish!!! Mom got the Bacon Cheeseburger. Both come with huge fries that made our mouths water. They did not disappoint either. Our waitress was Cebria, who had the good sense to deliver extra napkins when she brought out plates. We didn’t have to ask. That right there is what I call service!

edit to review.. there is minimal to no access to charging for mobility scooter in a safe area near where we are seated, restaurant was unable to accommodate a closer spot for us at this time despite a large area of open tables and no customers near charging outlet. also restaurant is currently no longer accepting EBT payments , sign says temporary pause. if you love airplanes come and visit! the food is great value and big portions, no crowds and clean restrooms. the women's handicapped stall was broken and I don't know when they will fix it however. I got the brownie ice cream and a grand slam.. magically delicious the staff is very friendly and came to check on me often. the music is a nice radio station of 70s soft rock classics.. love songs etc.

Many patrons rave about their favorites like the Nova Lox and Avocado Veg Out Sandwich, both packed with flavor and freshness. The bagels are consistently praised for their taste, making them a go-to choice for breakfast or lunch.
Luckily, we ended up here since the pizza places were closed, and we loved everything about it. My 10-year-old son devoured one and a half bagels loaded with avocado, two eggs, tomato, and bacon — he said it was absolutely delicious.

The food has always been amazing. My husband really liked the Biscuits and Gravy Bagel. However, we did think that it should’ve been oozying out with gravy 😅. And my first time back in a while, I downloaded the app and told them that I was new to everything, and the gal reminded the checker to make sure that the applied coupon from the app was upon my checkout. 🥹 the only other tid bit I would say is that the bathroom locks are kind of ghetto, the bathroom was dirty, and it didn’t have soap in there are two days in a row. (I went back and got the B&G Bagel the next day because they didn’t have it the day prior). ☺️

Update 4/7/24: taking them down star .. One of the 2 girls who work here are rude - not customer-friendly. When I called and asked if dogs were allowed , she said service animals only and neglected to say that they have a patio area where you can take your dog. When I asked for my free rewards coffee, she refused, saying that I had to do it online with the order. Additionally, she got my order wrong and had to remake my egg, ancient grains bagel, but there were no apologies. —— Always my favorite place to visit for a weekend breakfast. Amazing bagels. Specially, the ancient grain egg cheddar and bacon. Not the crowd here, so might be good to use the app and order ahead… You also get the free coffee with the rewards

IHOP is a well-established chain known for its wide selection of pancakes and classic American breakfast and diner dishes. While some locations may have minor cleanliness issues, the friendly staff and generous portions make up for it. Customers appreciate the attentive service and delicious food, with many praising the quality of pancakes and scrambled eggs. It's a popular spot where you can enjoy a satisfying meal, especially if you're craving a hearty breakfast or brunch option.
We went in for the $6 specials I have seen advertised which ended up being $7 here, no biggie, still cheaper than most fast food. Hubby ordered a regular meal, I ordered from the specials. We went in for a late lunch/early dinner and it was was empty so no wait Food was delicious- hubby got ham eggs benedict, I ordered the French toast special and we ordered the scramble special to share. More customers came in as we ate, but obviously our food came in a very timely manner. Faith❤ was our waitress and was kind, sweet and attentive!

Worst IHOP ever!! Waited 10min to get seated. Another 10min for a server even ask us for drinks. Waited another 30min for our order. Only to get my order wrong so had to wait another 20min for the correct order to come out. At that point I'm not even hungry and just ready to get out of there. We picked this IHOP since it is close to the play place my son likes but definitely not coming back to this place. Oh and their busboy is rude and loud when putting plates away. Seems to be in a hurry and just dropping plates loudly in his cart. Like I said worst IHOP ever.

Online I saw they had a gluten free menu which I was super excited for as it is rare to find gluten free breakfast places. When entering the restaurant I had asked if there is a separate gluten free menu, which the waiter then explained to me that it was on the main menu. I had upgraded my pancakes to gluten free, and informed the waiter of my ALLERGY. Not just a preference, an allergy, she acknowledged it. When getting my pancakes, I thought they were too good to be true to be gluten free and was praising them to my friend. Turns out they weren’t gluten free, and just the normal batter. After paying for my bill, I noticed there was no gluten free charge. I had asked the person cashing me out of that was missed, and he said I was served regular pancakes. Luckily I only get minor reactions to gluten, and currently my face is getting red and starting to swell up. If you have any allergy to gluten, even if it’s minor like me and you just need to avoid direct consumption of it, I would highly NOT recommend coming here.

Got an omelette and the breakfast sampler with the NY cheesecake pancakes and sides to give to our little girls. Orders were taken decently quick but after that Service was slow and bad. Waited a good while to get another cup to enjoy the coffee and got up myself to get syrup and ketchup since we couldn’t find our server. Food came and didn’t get the pancakes I ordered just the regular ones and they fixed that on the check. Sausages were bad and would avoid them. Overall, would go to another ihop or just stay at home and make your own food. Would be better than here.

**BLUF:** This was the worst experience I've ever had at I-Hop! We waited over an hour for our order. When I inquired about the delay, the waiter explained that "to-go" orders took priority. This has been a recurring issue during multiple visits. Additionally, families with children around us also waited for over an hour for their food, and not a single manager came to check on anyone. The restaurant wasn't even crowded. In my opinion, the manager on duty should be fired. To top it off, a couple who arrived after us received their food before we did.

I love IHOP. Living in North County there are so many bougie restaurants to choose from. However, more effort is put into the decor and atmosphere than the actual food and the service. That is for certain, the service in North County is very poor, and good breakfast food is hard to find. That is why when you want a good breakfast and don't want to be disappointed 🙃, you should just go to IHOP.

SO glad I came across this place. I always see it passing the 76 freeway, and finally got to try it. Food - Bagel sandwich is exactly what I wanted in one. Being able to select your cheese is great, and the customization is awesome. It adds time to the time, but that's okay. Service - VERY friendly and very helpful. And everyone working there on a busy Sunday morning looked like they were hustling. Ambiance - Can be a quick takeout spot or you can sit down on one of their patio tables or few tables inside.

Denny's is a casual eatery chain that offers classic American comfort food, serving breakfast dishes all day long. Recently, I attended a business breakfast meeting at the restaurant with two other people. The service provided by our server, Chris, was exceptional. Given the current labor shortage during this pandemic situation, one never knows what to anticipate in terms of service quality. However, Chris demonstrated great courtesy and patience as we conversed before placing our orders.
Leslie our waitress was more than superb!!! Amazing in every way. Leslie made us want to come back after so many years Mia from Denny's. Leslie deserves huge recognition by the upper management of Denny's. Food was amazing with great portions. Got the super slam and was satisfactory. Breakfast can't go wrong here. We also went the next weekend and Ivan was our outstanding waiter. Even though he had many tables to tend to he was super efficient and conscientious about service. Between Ivan and Leslie they have made us come back to a place that we haven't frequented in a very long time. We really wish all restaurants had quality people serving customers. Good job Denny's location here in Oceanside California College Blvd next to Walmart. This renews my impression of Denny's from years ago when it was mediocre.

The food was okay but pretty salty. The staff was friendly, but be aware of how they word things—there are a lot of add-ons that aren’t always made clear. For example, I ordered the brisket and mac & cheese skillet, and the waitress asked if I wanted my bacon in pieces or strips. I just said "pieces" without thinking much of it, but that ended up being a $3 charge. Then she asked, "Toast or garlic bread?" Naturally, I chose garlic bread, assuming it came with the meal—another $3 charge. There were a few other similar surprises with the meals we ordered for our family of four. So just keep an eye out for those extra charges. It is what it is.

My wife and pulled into the drive through at 8:51pm. There were workers inside that seen us pull in yet no one even answered the intercom . We waited for a minute or 2 finally we pulled up to the window . By then it was 8:54. All we got from a worker who looked up was the cut off motion as if they were done. Didn't even have the curtesy to tell us that over the intercom when they knew we pulled in. If you want to close at 8:54pm then maybe they should change that on there hours of business . Not just decide to not serve Somone because you just don't feel like it. The food is mid there anyways .

The crew is VERY polite, and they do their best. I've been asked to pull over in drive thru once, and I had to go inside to ask about my order. Turns out they forgot about it, so I just asked for a refund. Today I ordered the popcorn chicken with curly fries. It wasn't bad, but KFC does it better. I'd only order it again for the spicy chicken. I didn't eat the curly fries because they were stale. Which was a bummer, the curly fries are usually always good, but these had the taste and texture of fries that were left out and then reheated 🤢 I even separated them from the chicken they were so gross I still like Jack in the Box, but I definitely have to think about coming back to this one.

I’m writing to share a deeply upsetting experience I had at your establishment. I had parked my car and walked in to order food when I was met with unacceptable behavior from a staff member. The lady at the counter informed me that she could not serve me because I did not have a car — despite the fact that I had just parked. What made this encounter even more disturbing was the discriminatory tone and attitude she displayed. It felt racially motivated and left me feeling shocked and disrespected. I believe no one should be treated this way, and I hope this matter is taken seriously. I trust that the authorities will look into the incident and ensure that such behavior does not happen again.

Hello manager, I walked into your establishment this evening, got the cashier’s attention, and said hello out of common courtesy, it had been a long day, and I was just trying to brighten someone’s mood. It went quiet for a moment, and I thought maybe it was a language barrier on my end. I ordered 2 tacos and a drink. Simple enough. The time was 7:45 PM. By 8:05 PM, I realized I was the only customer there, and I could clearly see about 10 tacos sitting in the warmer, probably waiting to be sold. That’s 20 minutes already. I gave it another 5 minutes, this time standing up. In my head, I thought maybe I was too short, and they just didn’t notice me. Still, common sense would suggest that someone might ask if I needed help but nope. Finally, I found some strength in the name of the Lord and walked up to the counter. One of the young ladies told the other, “You’ve got a customer.” I thought to myself, She’ll remember me I’m still the only one here. I politely said, “I ordered 2 tacos.” The cashier quoted me the price as she entered it into the register. I reached into my pocket and handed her the receipt. She looked at it probably checking the order number, date, and time then glanced at the screen. Without a word, she turned around, handed me the tacos and the receipt, and walked away. I said “Thank you,” but she didn’t say anything back. *** Here is one fact that stands, the same person that served me today is featured on a photo by one of the customers 5 months ago, therefore I don’t think I’m crazy***

TERRIBLE FOOD, made me sick, puking. Not fully cook tacos that were sitting on the rack, should've ask for them to be made fresh, but they probably still would've undercooked them. They microwaved the chicken sandwich too long, inedible. They have this huge soda machine but only a few flavors.

McDonald's is a timeless fast-food favorite, celebrated for its iconic burgers and crispy fries. This beloved chain stands out with its speedy service, especially when you order through the app—an insider tip for those looking to save time! While kiosks are available, having an account can unlock better deals. The generous portions of condiments add to the experience, and you can always count on fresh fries. The restaurant's thoughtful design creates a relaxed atmosphere that helps mask the hustle of the kitchen.
Its way better than the one on Mission, way faster service than the ones on Camp Pendleton. Order on the app for faster service, dont order on the kiosks unless you have an account you wont get the best deals. They dont skimp on condiments. Fries are always fresh. The design helps shield us from the chaos of the kitchen which keeps the atmosphere chill. Its cleanes regularly and eventhough it shouldnt count towards or against it the fact its connectes to a gas station is pretty convenient. Staff is usually very friendly and helpful, not beaten down like at other locations.

They place is terrible. Went through the drive sat for five minutes before the took my order. I’m not even kidding. Then greeted at the window by a rude lady. She gave me cold fries. Then got mad when I ask for fresh fries and hand me the fries with her hand over the cup, touching my fries… gross. Then they gave me a Mc furry not even blend?! Yall really need to do better.

The food is always subpar, it’s McDonald’s I expect nothing less but it’s cheap and good enough so I still go very very occasionally now. When I came to this specific location they got MOST of my stuff right, but I had to let them know they forgot my drink. I had ordered a gold sauce snack wrap/ranch snack wrap meal and they completely forgot my drink. That’s fine so I went back through again and told them and showed the receipt to the guy, but one of the ladies came over and asked him what’s wrong. I said “it’s all good” and she looks at me and asks “are you lying?” while laughing so I ask what she said because I didn’t hear her the first time and she says “are you lying?” so I say no obviously and try to show her the receipt and tell her it’s on there and she doesn’t even come over to the window. She went around the corner to where the guy was and proceeded to peek around the corner and laugh at me again. It was very rude and she looked like a manager or a shift leader so it was even more disrespectful. I also had to remind the guy that I had a SECOND McFlurry and I didn’t even realize until I got home that they forgot my vanilla cone. At that point I just stayed home because I didn’t want to criticized and called a liar again. This location is terrible, if you want to go to McDonald’s just go to the one on College, or literally any other one.

When we came up to the counter to order the girl that was working tonight was packing food and didn’t even acknowledge us at all. After 5 minutes or so she said she would be right with us but she never came back to help us. So ended ordering from the kiosk. When a family member of the cashier came to the counter she was really quick to help her and her son. I knew it was family when she started talking to her. I had a $ 60 dollar order. My fries with no salt were nasty and my 2 bacon Cajun ranch sandwich were made in a hurry it was just tossed in the little boxes. Never coming to this McDonald’s again!!!!

On Aug 14, 2025 around 5:30pm a lady before me was waiting for what I see the McDonald employees is taking too long for her to be served . This woman including me for which no employee is paying attention to the front counter just too long. I finally see that this was taking too long and spoke up loud cause no employee was close to us to hear someone talking normally that get their attention. The lady before me for some reason let me go before her and I ordered an item . Then the lady ordered her item. But what I saw is that she received her order right away and it was obvious that the person serving me along with her supervisor was intentionally taking their time with my order which is just a hot fudge sundae. They were retaliating against me cause I got their attention forcefully by raising my voice cause they were ignoring the front counter and not timely serving customers patiently waiting for service. I saw that they were purposely provoking me then I demand to be refunded but again the person serving purposely decided to really slow down my refund return . I demanded her to stop playing with me and return my money and she was definitely showing me fooling around with me ,..she pointed at the cam above us like I was the one causing the problem which I promptly show the cam the finger telling them they will not be pushing me around ,..intentionally taking their time refunding my money purposely causing me to angrily reply. This was a show that the employees namely the cashier and her supervisor purposely show the customer that they can purposely not do their job timely when nothing during this encounter is preventing them again providing timely service. They just ignore the front counter cause they want to and think they can't get away with this . I ask the cashier for her name so I could get in touch with the owner of the restaurant but she won't give me llcause she knows she is in the wrong.

It's okay. The drive thru sucks. I hate the 2 speaker box because it feels like I always get stuck behind the person who doesn't know what they want or they're ordering for like 5 or 6 people. And randomly yesterday when I was inside ordering, they shut/lock the doors after I ordered so no one else can go in. Don't know if they got super busy in the drive thru. Employees are nice.

I have been coming to this McD’s for years, but the service and quality is going down fast. Often the OJ isn’t mixed properly, and I end up with slightly orange water. Today my frappe was unblended ice (see photo) but the prices keep going up and up. I’ve notice the lines are not as long as they used to be…I think most people are done with paying good money for really bad results.

McDonald's is a timeless fast-food institution that has captured the hearts of many with its iconic burgers and crispy fries. During my recent visit to one of their locations, I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly customer service and the mouthwatering food. I indulged in two double cheeseburgers paired with medium fries, which were fresh out of the fryer and piping hot. The cashier was incredibly welcoming and patient while I placed my order, making for a delightful experience overall.
Fries was fresh and hot cashier was super friendly and patient with me ordering. Thank you, you guys . My kids loved the playground area.

Leave it to McDonald’s to be absolutely oblivious to the fact you want to take care of customers that frequent your business. I wasn’t asking for much at all. I was simply asking for a small adjustment to a coupling I only know about because another employee here suggested it to me 2 days ago and made me happy. So I tried to simply duplicate it again. I had just gotten screwed out Mr my app points because they were not entered in time to give me the points that would have made the shake I was trying to get absolutely feee!!! But all I wanted as a sort of compromise was to let me apply a coupon tk a shake instead of a frappe. The manager looked confused, I doubt she understood half of what I said. Not being mean I genuinely think that. Once again thank you for showing how little you give a crap about your customers once again.

Señor Panchos Mexican Restaurant offers a variety of traditional Mexican dishes in a relaxed setting inside a unique train-shaped establishment. The restaurant has received positive reviews for its delicious and flavorsome cuisine, friendly and attentive staff, generous portion sizes, and reasonable prices. Customers particularly enjoy the fish tacos, which are consistently praised for their taste. Overall, Señor Panchos Mexican Restaurant continues to impress patrons with its authentic flavors and inviting atmosphere.
Best carne asada burrito I’ve had in San Diego. It rivals Tijuanazo of hillcrest to me. I say this because to me Mexican food is terrible in San Diego yet we live 30 - 45 minutes from Mexico itself. It baffles me. So I take it serious when it’s done right, so much I write this review. The carne asada was plentiful, juicy and seasoned right similar to like it tastes in tj. The guacamole was whole, fresh, tasty, similar to tj again. The hot sauce too was on point. 5/5 for the carne asada. AND THEYRE NICE! Like very awesome place.

This restaurant offers drive through (Google Take Note). I have lived in Carlsbad very close to the restaurant for 22 years and enjoyed their food only once before. My brother-in-law loves this restaurant and their tacos. Friday evening I thought Senior Panchos would be too crowded, I must have arrived at just the right time that evening. I arrived at the menu and order microphone and WOW!!! What a selection! A large variety of dishes to choose from. My kids were craving beef and eggs. One kid had the best ever Chile Rellano...his words not mine. The other received two Carne Asada--huge tacos with lots of meat. Not a skimpy whimpy taco. I enjoyed their three street tacos with Carne Asada. Probably an eight car wait, and it went by fast. Well organized, responsive and pleasant staff. We will return, definitely. Well price, too.

They said it was too late to correct the order because we already paid them. The customers should always come first.

Nestled in an industrial area of Oceanside, Come On Over Cafe is a delightful spot that combines comfort with delicious offerings. This family-run gem, operated by an aunt and niece duo, invites you to unwind on their charming terrace while indulging in a variety of paninis, bagels, pastries, and expertly brewed coffee. Known for its cozy atmosphere reminiscent of home, the cafe has garnered attention for its mouthwatering sandwiches—ranked 15th among the best sandwich spots nationwide!
The breakfast bagel was delicious. Fluffy eggs, crisp bacon, fresh Avocado and a panini-pressed crispy bagel. The cheese was perfectly melted and the choice of bagel paired beautifully. Highly recommend. The fact that this cafe is adjoining an auto shop is the coolest thing ever. Shout out to Angus the auto kitty.

Heard these guys were ranked 15th out of the 100 best sandwich spots in the nation by Yelp so of course we had to try it for National Sandwich Month (August). My daughter and I stopped in right before closing around 1:30pm-ish and ordered the Chicken Pesto and Chicken Bacon Ranch Avocado sammiches. It took some time for them to make them, but once they were ready, they walked them over to use neatly packed inside to-go containers. That was really nice. Once we got home and tried a few bites, we were hooked. Both were excellent and we could only eat half the sandwich before we were full. The photos make the sammiches look small but they are not. They contents are dense and rich. This is a meal, and only $11 which is amazing. I wished I would have tried some of their coffee but now I just need to come back and try more of the menu anyway :-)

My husband & I were looking for a new place for breakfast. Someone had posted this location on a social media post and the ratings were impressive. It’s located in an industrial area. I think one would come across this place when searching for a breakfast place or if they were a local. I ordered a raspberry mocha with less syrup pumps. It was perfect. My husband had the drip coffee. I had the Build Tour Own with sourdough bread, chicken, provolone, spinach, & garlic mayo. My husband had the breakfast sandwich with Monterey Jack cheese on an everything bagel. We enjoyed our sandwiches. It was all tasty. This is a great local gem to come and have a meal. There’s room for groups of people to sit inside or outside.

We read about this cafe/deli, #15 on the best cafes in the U.S. We were anxious to go. Was the most delicious sandwich. Build your own! Toasted turkey, deli mustard, Avocado, cheese, lettuce, pickle, tomato, red onion. Patio in shade. Parking is limited. Can't wait to go back for breakfast bagel and specialty coffees. Reasonable low prices...4.00 for a coffee too. Been there for 8 years!

What a Gem!! This reminds me of a cozy home cafe and I definitely would keep coming over. Like another reviewer mentioned if I worked nearby, the cafe folks would know me by name (probably by order as well). Their hoagie is hog heaven and their Jalapeno Bagel Breakfast is also a nice spicy wake up call. The drinks are also on point! So delish! I come here whenever I can, and would highly recommend, just be aware of their open days and time, if unsure a quick call works.

If you're on the hunt for a fast-food experience that offers a delightful variety, look no further than Jack in the Box. This popular chain serves up an enticing menu filled with burgers, chicken, tacos, and breakfast options to satisfy any craving. During my recent visit to their drive-thru on a Saturday afternoon, I indulged in a Jumbo Jack burger topped with two slices of American cheese—let me tell you, it was juicy and absolutely delicious!
I went to the drive through on Saturday on January 8. 2022 at 4 p. m. and ordered the one Jumbo Jack with 2 slices of American cheese, one small size French Fries, one 15 quantity Fully Loaded Tiny Tacos Box, one Vanilla Sweet Cream Iced Coffee and one slice of New York Style Cheesecake. My total was $22.24. I paid Oscar at the pick up window in Cash. Everything I ate like the Jumbo Jack Burger with American Cheese was very Juicy and delicious! The Tiny Tacos were crispy and was very flavorful. The French Fries great. The New York Style Cheesecake was very creamy, rich was very delicious! Oscar this employee was friendly and personable to me. I highly recommend this Oceanside location.

This location absolutely sucks. I have a problem with almost all of my orders. I order something as simple as a plain burger and they still manage to put mayo all over it.

Asked for sauce last week at the counter when I ordered, an associate asked how “if I want sauces, how many?” I said 4, there was two associates talking amongst themselves and repeated what I said “4 sauces very loudly and made a face.” The manager Was not friendly, who is always there not very friendly -made smart remarks. Makes you not want to be there!! I enjoyed the food, but not the service at all. How can employees learn from leadership when the manager has poor standards In their customer service skills?

I ordered delivery and did not receive all my food items. The store did not put all my items in the bag. I rely on delivery because I am disabled and could hardly walk. Therefore I am not able to go to the store to pick up any items they forgot to put in my bag. I have tried calling the store but they have not even answered their phone to resolve this issue. I have also went to the web site corporation and have filled out 3 complaints. On the web site it states that if need be they would have someone call me, and also also respond to my complaint via E-Mail. Nothing has been done to rectify the wrong that has been done to me. This is now becoming an ADA matter. In my complaints they have both my E-MAIL address and phone #. Therefore there in reason to put me off just because I can not walk to the store to be able to communicate to someone in person. Thank you From L. R.

Hate to leave a bad review but I ordered here yesterday - it was only a small/cheap order but you still expect the food to be the normal Jack standard - the fries were the worst I've ever been served from a Jack in the Box. Limp, dry, sad, and almost cold. The burger wasn't much better. The staff were fine and seemed friendly enough, and the place was very clean so I'll give them that. But the food was sub par and I was left disappointed.

I am highly dissapointed with the fish sandwich I received from here. I don't know if they fried it in old oil or what but it was gross and not hot.

McDonald's is a renowned, well-established fast-food chain that has gained popularity for its delectable burgers and fries. This classic, long-running establishment is praised for its prompt service and efficient drive-thru system which operates until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. Customers appreciate the courteous staff who are attentive to their requests, ensuring they receive the right amount of sugar and creams for their drinks. Notably, this particular McDonald's stands out as workers maintain a cheerful disposition even during early morning hours.
Let’s remember that we’re talking about a McDonald’s here. I was not expecting fine dining service. I’ve been going to McDonald’s since the mid 1980s when I was in diapers.. I’m not a regular McDonald’s order, but I am a red blooded American so I do like their french fries, Coca-Cola, and occasional cheeseburger. As far as McDonald’s goes, this place nailed it. They have good deals on the app that make eating affordable. They also have a very efficient and quick staff. Places that have the two ordering screens usually have to be pretty efficient and they do make that happen.. At night time you’ll notice the fries are pretty fresh from here so enjoy piping hot food at night time

It must not be a very enjoyable place to work because every single worker seems miserable.. I’m not really sure why they ask what sauce you want with your order if it almost always missing from the bag.. if you have the audacity to ask them for it they get snippy and rude only giving you one of the sauces requested. Like when did it become so difficult to get sauce for your fries lol. It’s really not that big of a deal but it’s just funny how they tell you to put it on your order at the window but then don’t add it when you do ask ahead of time. Also they need to fix the speaker or hire people of sound earing because the old middle eastern lady can never understand a word I say even when I’m practically yelling.

So I ordered my food like always through the app first time in Oceanside order my food I can see the drive-through flowing and my order never came.

At 7:30 my kids were rejected from the play place even though I’ve been told they close at 8pm. It’s the only reason why we come to this site (since food is never great). One of the lady workers had blocked off the entrance to the play place & my 2 young kids ended up crying hysterically. Workers were also denying service to customers walking in the lobby before 8pm saying only drive-through was available for orders. Staff definitely needs to be retrained on customer service. This instance took place 9/11/24.

Edit, changing review to 2 stars as new owner has refused to add the EBT debit card reader from customers to use their card to buy food. It has been many weeks without the required debit card reader for these customers. Fantastic staff and food! McDonald's is "traveler friendly," carries iodized salt packets.. unlimited sugar and cream add ons for coffee.. spacious well stocked restrooms for guests, gracius staff allow all needy guests access to restrooms. Supposed to accept SNAP as payment for hot meals (payment system at this location temporarily out of service may 8th 2025 during franchisee ownership transition, no ETA on even EBT card can be processed) Very fun interior. Dining room doesn't have enough air ventilation and fresh air flow for guests to enjoy their meal or for kids to play inside the indoor playground. McDonald's company or new franchise owner, can you please spend the money to improve indoor temperature and fresh airflow for employees and guests of this McDonald's location and add the required debit card reader for the Ebt? Thank you!

Absolutely do not go here. Not only did they argue with me over having two honeys for a 10 piece chicken nugget meal (how do you use 1 honey for 10 nuggets and fries???) They also were EXTREMELY rude about it and yelled at me in the drive through? Like is having an extra sauce really that deep?

Ok. We need to stop eating at McDonald's in general on Southern California. They dont have accessible fountain drinks anymore. They have downsized staff because they have to pay their employees so much money. You have to order from a kiosk instead of a person. They have no condiments, straws, forks, knives, napkins available for you to grab yourself. You have to rely on their short staff to get you a drink, refill your drink, get you ketchup, get you napkins, get you a fork. And now, they are charging for condiments like BBQ sauce and ranch. You literally can go to Chiles, and spend the same amount of money on a burger and fry meal that is actually good quality food. Bye McDonald's. You're going to crash just like burger king because you're so greedy.

I recently had a terrible experience at the drive-thru. The order taker was incredibly rude and difficult to understand. I had to repeat my code to her five times before she finally got it right. To make matters worse, she was talking to her coworkers on the side, complaining about the customers. It seemed like she was having a hard time multitasking. I hope you can hire more capable employees in the future.

Nestled in a charming 1886 brick building, Pannikin Coffee & Tea offers a delightful blend of history and modern comfort. Located in the heart of Leucadia, this family-owned café is one of the few remaining structures from the 1800s, making it a unique spot for coffee lovers. With its cozy atmosphere and spacious patio, patrons can enjoy expertly crafted beverages while soaking up live music or simply relaxing outdoors.
Always a good experience at the Pannikin. Had always visited the Leucadia location, but decided to stop in at Oceanside location today. Ham,cheese, pepper jack croissant with a strawberry danish and a couple of coffees to get Saturday off on the right foot.

Love this place—it’s so nice, great space, excellent coffee. Dark Roast Coffee and Heavy Cream! Yes! Return Visit had the Breakfast Tacos—very good and generous serving. Met Owner Dempsey and another excellent service from Dulce. Very kind, patient, friendly, helpful. Got the large Americano—20oz has 3 shots and it’s delicious. Baked Goods look amazing—made in house fresh daily at the Carlsbad location. Gonna check that one out soon. Cozy nooks inside and out, love the vibe. A great place to work, meet, read, relax, socialize. I walked to it from the beach, so not too sure on parking options—seems like street only with meters.

This new Pannikin is one of the best small coffee shops in San Diego County. It's a great edition to Downtown Oceanside! They did a great job of turning this into an inviting space with lots of seating options. No matter what size of a party you bring, there are definitely seating accommodations for you inside and outside. There is a wonderful small patio in the front and a much larger patio in the back and on the sode of the building. There is also an assortment of comfortable nooke to sit and enjoy a coffee alone, or socialize with friends. The coffee at Pannikin has always been top-notch. You can really tell the difference in the richness of flavor in their drinks. There is a fun little gift and merchandise store inside to peruse while you wait. They offer all manner of coffee drinks, whole and ground coffee by the bag. This location also serve great food, and they have something for every diet type. It's never been a problem for them to customize orders. The food selection is way better than most coffee shops. Not only do they have the traditional pastries you expect with coffee, but they have a robust menu of breakfast and lunch dishes, as well as a super selection of desert confections. Pannikin Cinnamon Rolls are some of the best around, especially if you get here early. There is lots of parking all around. Some time limited parking on the street, and a huge parking garage across the street. There are lots parking options in short walking distance, too.

Beautiful coffee shop inside of a historical building made of bricks. The building is old but well taken care of. It has the best vibe! Good energy. 🌻

Definitely an adorable coffee shop find! If you like your drinks sweeter-go here! Tons of pastry and bakery options if you are feeling the munchies. The service is fast and the young staff is super energetic and welcoming!

So this is a bit different of review. While I absolutely love this place and so does Laura, I am very disappointed with they way they present (or lack thereof) pricing. Yes, I know Pannikin has good food. I know they are a bit more expensive than other coffee/bakery places. But it's sticker shock when you order the quiche and find out it's 15 dollars. This location shows two dollar signs, but I do think they need to adjust expectations, or at least post some pricing. I'm honestly not sure if we will go here again without knowing how much something is going to cost. Do better, Pannikin.

I come here almost every week for a flat white, latte or drip coffee. Great service and great vibe. Have not tried any meals but have tried a few pastries, none of which I would order again. There is WiFi which makes this a good study/work location. Outdoor seating in front and in back.
