I've been coming here since 2022, and as someone who's been vegan for over 10 years, this place…read morereally is such a gem to have nearby. I've tried a good portion of the menu, and some of my favorites are the Bam Bam Burger, Jughead Burger, carne asada bowl, and the monster chili dog. The fries are always so good, and the cold mac salad is a must The portions are generous and I almost always have leftovers, which I love. Even my non-vegan husband enjoys coming here, and we've recommended it to friends who have also really liked it Service has always been great, food usually comes out quickly, and the staff is consistently friendly and helpful The space itself has such an eclectic, laid-back vibe with tons of art and character, it's just a fun place to be Sometimes the sauce levels can be a little on the heavier side depending on the day, but the flavors are always really good The hibiscus lemonade is really refreshing, I'd just personally enjoy it even more with ice It's clear everything here comes from a lot of creativity and passion, and I really appreciate the care that goes into a menu that's entirely his own!

My wife and I stopped by Eris in Oceanside on 3/14 and absolutely loved it. The place is small but…read morefull of character -- local artists' work on the walls, pop culture decorations, and a really welcoming, community-forward vibe. The owner took our order and was incredibly friendly, helpful, and informative. He described all of the dishes and you can tell he genuinely loves his resturant and what he's doing there. At one point he mentioned that he's proud of the portions because he thinks a lot of vegan resturants tend to skimp a little. He was absolutely right to be proud. I had the French Dip and it was honestly one of the best sandwiches I've had. The stek was sliced thin and really tasty, the cheze in the sandwich was perfectly gooey (which is rare for plant based cheze), and the aujus was the real star. I've honestly had nothing like it before. It was also a really hearty portion and super filling. My wife had the Jambi sandwich -- a hash brown wafflle with fried chikun, sunflower swiss, seitan bakon between two pieces of french toast -- plus chili fries on the side. The sandwich itself was impressively big and definitely lived up to the owner's point about portions. We've both been vegan for about 10 years and always appreciate finding places doing creative food like this. We live about an hour and a half away, but we're already figuring out when we can make the trek back for another visit.

The Plot is THE restaurant to visit in Oceanside! I loved my time here and I highly recommend…read morevisiting to try out the food. They have a very unique concept of renewable farming and sustainable gardening. There's plenty of indoor seating (the interior is lovely) and outdoor seating that integrates with the garden. The garden is available for customers to walk around. It's amazing to see how they've efficiently grown so much in a limited space. The Plot also has $5 plants you can purchase for home-gardening. Their eggplants are in season. Freshly harvested from the garden, I tried the panko crusted charcoal roasted eggplant - it was beautiful, delicious, creative and everything wonderful packed into a dish. It was topped with a very unique, naturally salty plant called the asparagus of the sea (I've literally never had it anywhere else besides here). I also tried the c word (which is wine braised cabbage), the beet ruben sandwich, and the mushroom toast. Everything was SO GOOD! The service is also on another level. I felt genuine kindness and happiness exuding from the staff. Whatever they are doing, they are doing it right. I was a bit sad to see that it wasn't bustling on a Sunday brunch. This is a must visit in Oceanside!!

They're the real deal. The food is high quality with decent portions and prices. I've tried at…read moreleast 4-5 entrees and loved them all, but my favorite go-to is the carrot fish tacos. Everyone from my work swears by them as well. I'm not vegan, by the way, and neither are my coworkers (one is vegetarian). So this is coming from someone who is just fine eating meat and has no base need to avoid that. But I've been to The Plot quite a few times now, including for Valentine's Day. I love that they get some of their food from their own on-site garden. They also source locally for a lot of their other food. And they compost leftovers for the garden, which is something you can do more easily when all your food is plant-based. I've had a few different servers and they've all been very friendly professional. Everyone seems very relaxed and like they enjoy their work. The atmosphere itself is also very laid back and unpretentious, but classy. That's what makes it a great lunch spot, but also a fine date night. Hope this place becomes an Oceanside staple.

It was a lint loud inside as a game was playing on tv. We sat outside which was nice but there were some annoying flies. Overall, I enjoyed my mushroom Sloppy Joe that I would come back.

I had the Sooo Veggie with fries and you can't tell by the pic, but the entire tray was full (lots more fries than what you can see here). $9.59 for the vegan bratwurst with basil, tomato, crispy onions and avocado (fries and drink not included). Kelly the cashier was super friendly and knowledgeable, offered all sorts of suggestions and vegan/vegetarian menu items are labeled with a leaf, but she pointed out that all the burgers, hotdogs and several burritos could be made with impossible meat, so there are actually many options! Kelly and I had fun convos the whole time I was there. Cool atmosphere to chill in, too... Loved it :)

We found street parking nearby and did not have to wait to be seated for a party of 3. The interior is small but cozy with a few outdoor tables as well. Service was fantastic and friendly. The menu is not that big but they focus on executing dishes well. Presentation is also beautiful. I will say that prices are on the high side relative to portion sizes but everything tasted amazing. We ended up ordering the salad and burrata as starters, plus the carbonara del mar pasta, lasagna bolognese, and lobster and shrimp boil pizza. Again, everything was delicious (I do prefer my pasta more al dente). Their famous lasagna bolognese included the "reveal" where they lift the metal encasing and the cream sauce cascades over the top. The housemade bread is amazing and the hot sauces and oils were imported from Italy and unique. Highly recommend for a tasty and fun dining experience!

By the time I walked in, I felt like I had already burned off dessert. Service with Space The service was chill and patient--no pressure, no hovering. I was offered suggestions, politely declined, and eventually made up my mind like the independent vegan foodie I pretend to be. Food Chronicles I dove into the Mystical Mushroom Quesadilla with walnut meat. Now, let me confess: this was my first time eating walnut meat, it was an interesting experience... a little sweeter than my taste buds were emotionally prepared for, but hey--growth! I'll have to try it without the walnut meat next time. The real showstopper..The kale chips. I'm pretty sure they were kale chips, but honestly they tasted like crispy little blessings from above. Heaven-sent. Then came the Loving Lasagna, and WOW. Extremely good. The sauces were divine, like they'd been whisked by angels with excellent seasoning skills. I absolutely recommend it--10/10, would eat again and again.

We mentioned it to the staff, and they made a fresh batch right away, which was delicious. The sauce it comes with is great too. They have a self-serve area for water and condiments. You bus your own table, but the employees still went above and beyond. A couple of them checked in on us while we were eating. When I asked for a to-go box, they packed a bag with chips on top of the containers without me asking. Really thoughtful. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, and the space feels open and bright. Overall, the employees were phenomenal, and service was quick. The food, though, is just okay.

If I had to guess, it probably came with a 1/4 cup of beef on the entire nacho plate. It was quite pathetic. $17 with a coke. AVOID!!!
