On this day brought civilians to see their very worthy Mechanized Museum, as well as, the WWII/Korea LVT Museum. The kids were ages 14, 12 and 8. Unlike the 14 year old WWII buff; the other two "had to go." Within 15 minutes of our arrival, all three kids were all in! We literally spent hours here and they still rave about it!! The entire experience was exceptional; everyone on duty was absolutely the best example of the Marines and our National Defense. Semper fi!

A few square barracks, a chow hall, motor pool, tanks, and a place for 10 cent beer. Now it's so fancy they could take recruiting pictures there. The civilians picked fights with us every time we went into Oceanside. We always beat the shyt out of them. All of them dumb as rocks. You wanna be tough? Join the Marines don't pick fights with them.

My problem is the dude who works beyond the registers selling "legit" stream boxes. He might not be there anymore but he stole 300 from me and I'm sure he ripped off other marines as well. His boxstream demos look great and seem to work like a champ. Since he was approved to be there by the government, I figured he's legit. I don't think he is and neither are his boxes. It worked for a week or so and when I contacted him he gave me the run around. He gave me one of his "special" boxes that eventually stopped working. He refused to give me a refund and no longer answers my texts. He's a scammer and he best not be there next time I go.

Love the Marine Corps Exchange!!! Always great deals and great customer service…read more On another note would not buy from Designs by M. It is a jewelry store inside the MCX. Their customer service is by far one of the worst I've ever experienced. I purchased a bridal set, which later I wanted to return. I unexpectedly experienced a medical emergency and went in 5 days after the 45 day return policy. I had documentation and all and I asked if I could speak to the owner or manager and the sales associate said no and that unfortunately they don't do returns past the return date. She didn't even try or make my case heard to anyone. I understand if it had been a week or more, but I had a legitimate medical issue and could not make it to return it. They showed no sympathy or compassion to the situation. Horrible experience.

Had a girls' night out dinner at 333 Pacific and really enjoyed the overall experience. I'd…read morepersonally give it a 4.5-stars. We arrived early for our reservation, so we walked the pier while we waited, and I appreciated that they texted us once our table was ready. One thing to note is they close on the earlier side at 9 p.m. The ambiance was really nice too -- definitely on the fancier side, but not so fancy that it felt stuffy or uncomfortable. We started with the hot sourdough bread and maple spice butter, which was addicting. I also ordered the wedge salad and liked that the blue cheese wasn't overly pungent. My filet mignon was cooked perfectly and very tender, though I do wish it came out hotter since it was basically room temperature when served. The whipped potatoes were buttery and creamy, and the short rib was rich, flavorful, and fall-apart tender. The creamed spinach could've used more salt in my opinion. They were definitely heavy-handed on the spices as the spicy kick at the end caught me off guard. We ended the night with the flourless chocolate cake and wow... definitely worth the calories. Service was also great. Leo was attentive throughout the meal, and his team always made sure our waters stayed full. Solid spot for a girls' night or date night in Oceanside.

McDonald's Drive-Thru Review down right Flat Line and I'm Not Feeling it!…read more I just spent $40 at this location, and honestly, this is exactly why McDonald's is going downhill. The app never works when I need it, which makes ordering frustrating. When I asked the clerk about a shareable meal, she told me flat out "we don't do that here." This isn't the first time either this is the second time I've been denied something that's supposed to be available. On top of that, the drive-thru lines are ridiculously long. With the amount of traffic at this spot, you'd think they would've upgraded to two lanes by now, but nope. Instead, customers just sit and wait. For $40, I expect reliability, consistency, and at least a little convenience. Sadly, this location delivers none of that. Costumer at pickup window standard. Food was cold and not what I wanted. Location their playground has been blocked off years even my 7 year old made a commit. Inside dining area for the most part is clean and presentable. Do better! Been visiting since 2007.

Consistently long lines (wait times of 15+ minutes), broken pumps, receipts that don't print, super slow POS system when you pay inside, etc. I've been coming here for about 4 years now, and if it weren't for the price I'd go literally anywhere else. The pumps are also only set up with one-way lanes, meaning some pumps will go unused while cars pile up waiting for the "right" ones. Today all the pumps have warning that they won't automatically stop pumping. What?!

I settled on a tuna sandwich on sourdough bread with French onion soup along with the passion papaya iced tea while hubby got the chicken sandwich with a small coke. The young lady behind the counter who took our order was so sweet, patient, friendly, and professional. She gave us a buzzer that would notify us that our order was ready. It appeared we were the only ones dining in but their pick up window was very active. This eatery is immaculately clean and brightly lit. There are a lot of tables and is tastefully decorated. The downside is that for being on a military base its prices are rather high; no military discount here. Despite being pricey ($44.00), we enjoyed our meals thoroughly. You can really taste the freshness & quality. My eyes are bigger than my stomach and I needed to get the soup to go. My sandwich was pretty big. Analisia got us the container & spoke with us for a bit. She's a sweet person & a true credit to Panera Bread. We would definitely return if on the base again. We'd like to try the flatbreads. We hope to run into Analisia again. She set the bar high in customer service.

The barista thought she had just made it but a guy looked it up and said it was still in que and had been missed. I stepped away to continue waiting. After another 6-7 minutes I went up to inquire again because at least 7 people that came In after me were receiving their drinks and leaving. Yet still... NO ONE was making my drink. I was asked again what it was. At this time, someone finally decided they should make my drink. It took less than a minute. I'm so confused as to why that didn't happen the first time a conversation was had about the missing drink. Not impressed with their customer service at all. I was not in the least upset the first time I was told it was missed. Mistakes happen and I can understand that. For no one to make the drink to rectify the situation after the first conversation is unacceptable.
