Great BBQ. Everything we got from the American feast was awesome, but the beef rib was the best I've had anywhere. Highly recommend! Ally was super quick with the drinks and food read more

Luv me some Enzo's. I'm not sure what folks love more about Enzo's, though...is it the grub? Or the brews? Judging by the typical evening crowd it could go either way!!! I do not drink so the choice is much more obvious in my case. What do I order when there? Well, the menu is extensive and everything I've tried so far is fantastic so.......ya! Enzo is a close neighbor of mine although I cannot proclaim to know him very well outside of our dogs sniffing each other...a lot...during evening or morning strolls. What I do know about Enzo is that he is a native of Sicily, you know, the rock being kicked by the bolt of Italy? At least that is how I always viewed it on a map. My point is the man knows food. Open up a pizzeria? Naw. Too obvious! An Italian eatery? Really?? Cliche! Why not do all of the above? That's exactly what Enzo did...and he's doing it quite well thank you! Honestly you won't go wrong ordering any one of the specialty pies (pizza pies, that is), Italian dinner selections, or p his Award winning BBQ. My fav happens to be dependent on the mood I am in that day/night but my "go tos's" are as follows: App - full disclosure - I'm nothing on any of the apps. I've tried the smokehouse nachos and the bbq flavor alongside the "nacho" vibe had me feeling off a bit. It was tasty sure but for me, I love my Mexican food and when I order nachos that's the flavor I expect. I applied the attempt here but wasn't my fave. I've also tried the pulled pork and fries. I liked this one better but I love the entrees so much I usually bypass the apps. Entrees - bbq - my son will die for the wings. That boy can eat him some wings and Enzo's are up there with his favorites. I prefer the southern sliders or the Philly cheesesteak (I've never been to Philly so don't judge me). Or the tri tip platter. (Mouth watering) Pizza - can't go wrong. We personally enjoy regular ole pepperoni or the bbq chicken which is done very well here. (You'd think right?) Burgers are all excellent Kids menu? Not for my kids. They go right in for the ribs or the wings as stated. I do not order the Italian entrees here but knowing his heritage and how they cook at home, I am 100% positive it eats hard! Beers - not for me but everyone seems to love them! And check the specials they have posted weekly online. They always have some great tones! Enzo's does private parties as it is quite a large space with plenty of seating and Enzo's also caters so if you are in need, thumbs up! read more

Had always seen this place but never stopped in until now. I tried the sampler of chicken, beef and pork. All were good but not wow, like I imagined. The baked beans were excellent. The coleslaw good. The price reasonable. The place was quiet for an afternoon. The server was friendly. Could have paid a little more attention to me or at least checked in on me to see if I was enjoying the food. I will come back when I am in town to try their pizza which I hear is very good.

Enzo's BBQ & Alehouse - Barbeque Near Me - Oceanside, California

Enzo's is a cool BBQ spot with lots of seating inside and a nice outdoor patio. Customer service was good as well. I got the BBQ combo plate, and the sides were really good. The coleslaw had great taste and flavor, and the baked beans were also very good. The brisket was definitely a highlight--great taste and flavor. The chopped pork was good as well. The ribs were just okay; the flavor didn't really stand out. The BBQ sauce they use wasn't the best, and the hot sauce was not good at all. Overall, it's a nice spot with a good atmosphere, plenty of seating, and some solid BBQ options. The brisket and sides were my favorites. read more

I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and the sliders with coleslaw and potatoe wedges. The spaghetti tasted like it was made the day before, the meatballs were ok but way to much pepper. The pulled prork slider and the brisket also tasted old, they were tough and crunchy. The pulled chicken slider was ok. The potatoe wedges were definitely refried with some burt edges. The coleslaw was fine. The gave 2 pieces of corn i did not order tried one and it also tasted old. I felt like they scraped the bottom of the barrels and slopped tge food into the delivery containers. read more

My sister came into town and this is her favorite spot so we had to go. She ordered the ribs, they fell off the bone. They were so good. My daughter ordered the penne pasta with marinara sauce and meatballs. Delicious! I usually order the burnt end sandwich but decided to go off course and try the French dip. It was a good choice!!! The roast beef was perfectly cooked. The horse radish was fire. Mm. You never disappoint me Enzo's, TIL next time. read more

UPDATE (2026) We come to Enzos mostly for happy hour and their Italian foods. The BBQ is okay but their pastas are great! Happy hour specials are okay, $10 for a few cocktails, including an old fashioned. I tend to get a beer and they have a variety of anything you could want. Service is usually pretty good. Parking is tough sometimes mostly because it's shared with a variety of businesses. Make sure to get their Specials menu which I like to order from. Always something new and exciting each time we come. read more

Came here last week and the Menu was extensive and I ordered the one damn thing that was disappointing because the rest of my family was satisfied. The ribs looked pretty good, but they had tons of sauce and very middle meat. I wanted to like this place since we just moved here and it's close to our house so I gave it another shot before posting the rating. I went with the brisket, veggies and beans and they hit. I also tried the tri tip and Mac and cheese and they checked out too. This place had great service, tons of beer selection and Italian food that I'm going to try next. I'm glad I gave them another shot and I'll pass on the ribs since they have tons of other great options. read more

I came on a Saturday night, about an hour before closing. It was really slow inside, with only one or two parties remaining. The host prompted us to choose our seats, which was actually nice because we got to sit where we wanted. The service was great. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. At the end of our meal, he even offered us a soda to go which was thoughtful. The food was nothing to write home about, but it wasn't bad. I got the Mac and cheese and the burnt ends (1 lb). It was a good amount of food I eat a lot and I couldn't even finish all the Mac and cheese and the meat. The main thing I disliked about my meal (and my girlfriend also admitted the same about her brisket sandwich) is that the meat is pretty dry. It needed a pretty good drenching of the BBQ sauce to moisten it up. That being said, it's definitely not the worst BBQ I've had. The Mac and cheese was good, but again, nothing I'd go out of my way to seek out, like some Mac and cheese from some other BBQ places in north county. Besides the fact that the meat was a bit dry (which is disappointing because it is a BBQ place) the food good, and our experience was pleasant. I really wanted to give it a 4 star rating but because of the meat being on the drier side, as a BBQ restaurant I just have to give it a 3 star rating. read more

I attended a holiday party here. They have a large private room available. We were provided excellent service. We had about 30 people in the group. We had enough room to move around and mingle. Room for packages. Able to make noise without bothering other restaurant guests. Each person was able to order what they wanted and pay individually. This was a big plus! The food was also very good and I heard no complaints. Everyone was served correctly and timely. I highly recommend this location for a party. read more

This was my first time trying Enzo's and it was a big letdown. Me and my buddy ate here for dinner because we were craving bbq and decided to try this place. We ordered the American Feast and it was the worst bbq I've had in a while. The baby back ribs was tough, dry and tasted like it was leftovers that got reheated. I asked the server to give us a fresh batch and the replacement was just as bad. The chicken was also super dry. The brisket also looked like it had been reheated as it was dry as well. They tried to make everything look good by covering it in sauce. The only saving grace was the server was nice and attentive. Needless to say I will not be coming back nor will I recommend this place. With today's prices, I expect restaurants to be on their A game as eating out is very expensive nowadays. read more

I got the Philly cheesesteak and the fried calamari. 10/10 recommend!! Especially the calamari. Our server Ally was attentive and very helpful. Would come back ! read more

Went to Enzo's today (10/3/26) at 1450 hours (2:50 PM), SOCAL is experiencing excessive heat. We entered the restaurant and it was hotter inside then it was outside. No AC on just huge fans blowing hot air in the bar area. The wife and I could not take temperature (too hot). The weather channel was reporting a temp of 107 degrees Fahrenheit and 1453 hours. I asked one of the staff if it was cooler sitting on the patio and he said it was hotter. No fault on the staff but it was too hot to eat inside in the bar area. I do not know if the establishment does not have an AC unit but I would recommend installing an AC unit or turn it on. Year by year the temperature in Oceanside keeps getting hotter and I have lived here since 1985. I am leaving a 3-star review since the food has always been excellent in my visits in the past but the minus 2 is for the lack of air condition. I have been going to Enzos when they were in the smaller location across the parking lot. read more

My husband and I split a full rack of bbq baby back ribs with corn, coleslaw and cornbread. The ribs were large, tender and moist. The bbq sauce has the perfect amount of smoky tangy sweetness without being too sweet. My husband likes coleslaw and it met his standards and who doesn't like corn on the cob? The cornbread is like a light fluffy cake dessert. Really great American cuisine for the 250th celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence! The hostess and our server Audrey were very sweet and friendly. We enjoyed the music and baseball game too. Thank you! read more

First time here last night and it was pretty good. I had the sampler sliders with coleslaw and their baked beans and I think the baked beans and the coleslaw were my favorites. I believe the sliders came with pulled pork, chopped brisket and chicken.. the chicken was a bit dry but with more bbq sauce it made up for it. The pork was good but the brisket was the best of the 3. I only take away a star because of the dry chicken and their lemonade wasn't very good..taste like tap water with a hint of lemon flavoring read more

Went to visit some friends in Oceanside and they took us to Enzo's a cool little BBQ joint. At first glace I really liked the decor and open spaces, you did not feel cramped at all. The wait staff was friendly and the menu had all our favorite BBQ dishes with some unique drink options. We ordered the Sliders trio which was very delicious as well as the BBQ chicken. ALL GOOD! My only critique would be the pulled pork and chicken being pulled and not so chunky and needed to be dipped in the sauce not the sauce being poured over. Other than that, thumbs up! read more

I ordered an extra side that I paid $4.75 for but I only got that side. I didn't get the two other sides I was supposed to get. When I called and finally got the owner he refused to make this right and told me I misunderstood the menu. I tried to tell him I was looking at the menu as we speak. I will go in tomorrow in person and give him another chance to make this right. read more

Had an hour or so while kids did their evening activities. Friendly staff! Great food and options. Price seems to be going up, but it is everywhere I guess. Been here a few times, great beer list! read more

One of the waiters was friendly and attentive. The other looked like he wasn't feeling well and didn't talk much. The food was ok. I ordered the brisket. It was cold. The food tasted like leftovers. I'm willing to give this place another try before deciding whether I want to return. read more

Came in yesterday and wanted to try something new, but was a little hesitant. I was looking at the short rib pasta in particular and saw Enzo walking around supporting his team and figured I would inquire with him regarding ingredients used and feedback they've received. I ultimately ended up trying the dish and was extremely happy with it. I would definitely consider this one of the best pastas I've ever had and I most likely will be back later in the week to order more . read more

Great food and great service, thank you so much! We celebrated a birthday here and it was great :) Thanks Jorge!

Stopped in last week and ended up sitting at the bar. Michelle, the blonde bartender, was honestly the highlight of our visit. She was super friendly, kept up with everyone even though it got busy, and somehow made sure nobody was waiting long for a drink. She had a great personality, made us laugh, and was on top of everything the whole time. The food was good, but we'll definitely be back because of the service. Michelle made the experience worth it! Thank you! read more

Excellent service! S/O to Michelle for being efficient, friendly , and just on top of her game. I ordered a spicy pineapple margarita and I always ask for a water on the side, I didn't even have to ask.! Michelle asked right away! Loved that! The drink was delicious! I ordered 2 more! I didn't get anything to eat. Pretty decent happy hour menu for both food and drinks. Bathrooms were clean Full bar. Lots of tvs to watch your favorite sports The food smelt amazing, so I look forward to eating something next time! Thanks for the great service! read more

I never stopped in when Shakey's closed and Enzo's moved in. BBQ and Italian did not seem like a good match up. We went on a Saturday night. I ordered the Pulled Pork and Fries Basket and side salad (not listed on the menu) as I wasn't very hungry. The fries were served on a regular plate not a basket. (I did envision them being served in one of those red oval fast food trays) . There wasn't much pulled pork but it makes sense being that it's an appetizer. It was ok. I'd be open to trying it as a larger portion of meat. My husband craved bbq chicken and went with the Lazy BBQ 1/2 Chicken. He said that the chicken was "wet". That it didn't taste very good. We took it home for our pup. All the sides were great, delicious. We ordered more cornbread and beans. Cornbread was light and fluffy. Paulaner Hef was ordered too and came in a Paulaner glass though it wasn't very cold. The glass wasn't chilled so maybe that's the reason. I don't know. Service was good. Food came out quickly. Staff checked up on us repeatedly. It will be a long time before we decide to give Enzo's another try. read more
