    Stopped in for early dinner with the Hubs after an appointment and thought we'd get a treat somewhere. I opted to drive north through the 101 for a more scenic route drive. Beats the highway! We tried to look at their website link here on Yelp but got the 404 error message. We wanted to see if they had happy hour deals (they did not) but we DID end up doing the beer and smoked burger for 20 option. I asked for well done. It was almost completely well done. Still a little more pink than I prefer in general. I didn't feel the need to complain. The burger was good regardless. It was moist and the softness of the brioche bun was fantastic. My O'side light was refreshing. We've come here with every business turnover since the whiskey bank. I feel the chairs and benches have been the most comfortable thus far. Was told that they're going to go through a completely new renovation process again. I hope they keep this comfort vibe Even though it most likely won't be the southern comfort vibe anymore. Soon it will be officially rebranded to Hill Street Brewing and will pay homage for what the O'side street name used to be. All the servers were nice and friendly. We'll be back most likely after the change has been finalized.

    This place is a little better than Heritage Capistrano but not much. The turkeywas good. The brisket was way to salty. The porkribs were under cooked. There was to much tug to get the meat off the bone. You should have a clean bite. The rings and mac and cheese were good. Service was a bit slow. I had to wait forever for a tea refill. I needed it to wash down the salty brisket. Been there, done that. I won't be back.

    Beef Dip
    Megan W.

    Service was great, very attentive and personable. The beef dip was so delicious. The breast had a little crunch on the outside but was so soft inside. The meat had excellent flavor and the fries were top notch. The only downside was my son ordered the kids rib plate and was unable to eat it because the black pepper rub. The waitress noticed and comped the meal. All in all, we will be back.

    Overall had a good experience and decent bbq. They allow dogs inside which is nice since we like to take our pup with us on the weekends. We went on a Sunday and it wasn't super crowded or busy. They had a DJ playing music and football games on the TVs. We ordered the two meat combo and it was enough food for two of us to share. We ordered the brisket and tri tip with mac n cheese and potato salad as our 2 sides. The brisket was very good, it was juicy and not dry. The tri tip was served cold and we found that strange, so not our favorite. The sides were good portion and flavorful.

    Beer, French dip and Caesar

    After visiting the supermarket I didn't feel like making dinner - funny how that happens - so I came in for a snack. Four different sports on the giant TVs was a little overwhelming but good if you're into that, I guess. I had their double unfiltered ipa (as I recall) and a French dip sandwich with side Caesar. The beer was good, the salad was fine. I liked the sandwich, and I paid attention to the beef which was nicely smoked and tasty. The staff was helpful and attentive. I have simple needs.

    Brisket quesadillas

    The place is huge and very nicely set up and inviting! The food was pretty delicious and the service was OK. It appeared there was one server and one bartender who might've been overwhelmed so the service wasn't as amazing as I expected, and I think we were there on a trivia night, which was Wednesday. I don't know what was going on. The brisket, quesadilla and the queso and chips were very delicious!

    It was Father's Day and I was craving BBQ. We've driven by this place several times and decided to give it a try. Had the 3 meat combo. Wanted brisket but they were out, so had the pulled pork, tritip, and ribs. All were pretty good. Service was super slow but then heard the server telling to table behind us they only had two line cooks that day so we remained patient. We enjoyed all of our food and the portion size was great to share. Loved the outdoor seating as well. When I'm craving BBQ I would definitely come here again.

    Everything is good! Western burger was good, I love their fries too. My friend liked his Tacos.

    Ribs two meat combo onion rings and baked potato

    When we were in Oceanside, we had a nice dinner at Heritage Beer on their patio. It was along PCH so we were blocks away from the water. Sitting on the patio, it was pleasant, breezy and cool with all the cruisers along the highway. They are a BBQ restaurant so we started with an appetizer of chips and chili. For entrees, we both ordered 2 meat combinations, which come with 2 slides. For one, we selected a double order of baby back ribs, with onion rings and baked potato. The other was tri tip and brisket, with roasted vegetables, and beans. We also ordered a side salad. All the portions are really generous. The side salad was giant and very shareable. The sides are a bit rich. The roasted veggies had a bit scoop of burrata cheese. The cheese might have been mixed with something because it was orange and flavored. The Charro beans were great, with creamy Rancho Gordo beans. All their meats were good though our favorite was the tender brisket.

    Wow Heritage is the best. The service is so nice here. We have seen the lines at the Heritage on Dana Point and I am so surprised it's not the same here. The first few months they didn't have a smoker on site but they do now. The seating is indoor or patio. Big tables for big groups. Nice bar with draft beer and wine. They have rib tips as a special sometimes. The banana pudding is my go to dessert - it's served over a butter cake. The meat is tender and delish. Located in South O with its own parking lot!

    3 piece platter

    The food is great ! We drive over 34 miles for smoked turkey which is normally sold out. The brisket and turkey are best things on their menu. Both are so tender , juicy , and can cut with a fork! Service is great but don't call them as they won't answer the phone . Normally a line at lunch and dinner. The ambiance is dog friendly and kid friendly! Very airy. If you like a brewery they have lots of craft beers. We don't drink so I can't tell you how they taste. Used to be related to the one in San Juan Capistrano but no more

    Mac n cheese

    Meh. This place is not that great, but it's not terrible either. Would I come back? Definitely not. I'd rather go down the street to Primos and pick up fresh cooked BBQ from them. The food temperature was just warm and by the time you start to dig in it's cold. As if the BBQ gets cooked early and left to sit out under a lamp all day. Side dishes were decent, could use a little more seasoning. You can never go wrong with an ice cold beer, which was the only satisfying part of the meal. Service was slow. Took forever for refills and to get our bill. I guess if you want to be acknowledged and get faster service go sit at the bar.

    3 meat combo 1/3 pounds of each meat
    Benjamin W.

    Our friends were raving about this establishment. One even said they would consider making the drive up from San Diego to get some of this bbq, so we decided to give it a go since we were in the area for the surf competition. We ordered the 3 meat combo which has 1/3 of a pound of each meat + 3 sides. Food: The meat was cooked perfectly so the texture was 5/5, unfortunately that's only half the story as there was almost no flavor. It's like there wasn't a dry rub or marinade. Service: we had to wait 10 minutes to get our check. Not terrible, but not 5 star service. Atmosphere: I don't want to hate on the restaurant for this because it's slightly out of their control, but as we are outside there was a cacophony of sound the whole time. I'm not from Oceanside but it appears Heritage is on a Main Street, so there's no shortage of really loud cars. Added to that was a stereo of other patrons dogs barking the whole time. Again, that's not their fault, but it was the atmosphere.

    Three meat platter; brisket, pulled pork, and hot link...served with Mac & cheese, fries, and potato salad.

    Is this a good place to watch the lions Saturday?

    If you're going to watch the lions devour the Christians it's really better to see it in person at the colosseum.… 

    Do the sandos come with a side? Chips or fries or anything? Or just have to purchase side extra?

    Our sandwiches and taco came with a small side (choice of slaw, potato salad, fries, etc.)

To make matters worse, the bathroom was filthy. While our waiter was genuinely nice, the food was a huge disappointment. For the price, it was frustrating and disheartening to pay premium rates for such a poor experience. We cannot recommend this place and will not be returning.
