    Fun place to visit. Solid beers all around. Open format with lots of tables. Great little outdoor patio. Plenty of parking. Barkeep was really friendly. Food was excellent. This place should be on your list to visit.

    Great beer

    Great service and nice beers! Great little find on our trip to Oceanside. No food but food truck was supposed to come later. Anyway provided great recommendations for food at other places.

    Sunday afternoon around 2pm was pretty quiet here. Nice patio and plenty of space to hang out with friends. Sunny Vibes is a Mexican lager at 5.1% that was very light tasting. I would have like some lime but that's just a preference. Saized & Confused is a farmhouse saison at 7.2% was a very nice Belgian. There was food available but we didn't eat anything. Definitely will try The Lodge eatery that is right inside when you walk in. Overall pretty good tap list. Amy was serving beer and was very nice to us. We will be back again!

    This is a great spot in Oceanside. Easy parking, Tesla Supercharger nearby, great outdoor space for you and your pup. The beer is tasty and the staff is so welcoming and friendly. Food from The Lodge available. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again.

    Found this brewery tucked in Oceanside on our way to san diego and didnt disappoint. Good craft beer. Friendly staff. Nice beer break.

    Huge tasting room.  They also have outside seating.

    Big, airy, spacious taproom with seating inside and out. They share space with That Boy Good so come thirsty and hungry. You're a fool if you don't get some BBQ while you're here. I very much appreciated how they offer many different styles of beer. In other words, they have a couple of IPAs but not 20 of them. That's a really good thing. I ordered a 5 taster flight with two gose/sours, an IPA, a Belgian ale, and a porter. The Belgian ale was boozy and outstanding. The porter had a nice coffee flavor and the other beers were good. The music was a tad loud and a tad grungy but not too bothersome. They're dog and kid friendly and the barkeep was very attentive. Plenty of free parking in the lot. I would happily return. Good stuff!

    We really enjoyed our experience at Northern Pine. The Beers were SO good and some of the best we have had so far in the SD are. We were really impressed. The bartender was really friendly helping us get a flight of beers. The place was really clean and modern. The outside sitting area was also very nice. We would come back to this place, it was really great!

    Super rad brewery conveniently located in Oceanside! We love bringing our dog here for some weekend sun, fun, and beers! Can't wait to come back and check out some of the food menu. Great beer selection, super chill patio and interior.

    Really cool vibe. Attentive staff. Combined with TBG BBQ. Excellent beers. Ordered a flight, the Saison was my favorite. Really enjoyed their atmosphere and woodsy feel. Reminded me of being back in the mountains. Nice little getaway in Oside.

    Epic food, beers were delicious, and the prices are super fair. I'll definite be coming back for more fried chicken and another burger. can't wait to try the poutine too!

    Stopped by this cool micro brewery on a recent trip and the craft brews did not disappoint. Great quality over quantity here. Limited addition runs of small batch brews that you can not only taste but see the difference. Spent a few hours sitting at the bar with the assistant brewer as my tap tender and not only were his suggestions spot on it was obvious at least to me that his passion for brewing high quality handcrafted beer was a second nature for him. I appreciated not only his input but also his commitment to his craft. It was apparent to me that the attention to the details and the understanding of true crafted brewing is was a part of the driving force to this establishment. The small ever changing board of offerings overhead was an impressive range of profiles and abv contents that should and would please most consumers palettes. I tries everything from the Pilsner to the Stout on the board that day and each was a great representation of its specific genre of brew, each was delicious and of very fine quality. Glad to have found this cool brewery on my trip through and plan to visit them again whenever I am in the area. 4.5 Stars - rounded up for the true micro brewery approach and knowledge of the brewer 00648

    3.5 for the brews. The place is huge and I love the fact that it shares a space with TBG. We initially got tasters and felt all were just okay. Some of the beers were flat/stale, needed more carbonation. Only one beer stood out to us and we got pints of it- get your gloves. They told us it was a new keg, so it was very fresh tasting and had good flavors. We'll definitely be back since TBG is here, a good place to grab food and some brews.

    Shared space with That Boy Good- no vegan friendly options

    They have wifi?

    Yes!

    Are non-alcoholic drinks served here? Possibly by That Boy Good? I heard there is party here following Pride by the Beach 2019...but I don't drink! I would go if Coke, Sprite, Pepsi, etc., are served! :-)

    TBG has a variety of soft drinks available.

Our waiter was pretty cool, although his name is escaping me now. We ordered a few appetizers, wings, steak taquitos, and the pretzel. We noshed on these before we ordered our meals of bison burger, and two single patty smash burgers. Not sure if it's because it was around 7:30/8 o'clock at night, but the food was not up to par according to the two that I was with, who frequent this place. The steak taquitos tasted a tad overdone, but still pretty good since it was the first time I've had them. The pretzel was really good, but the dipping sauces not so good. I still cannot figure out why one of them was a hot caramel sauce. I have never put caramel on my pretzel and it tasted like crap to be honest. The queso must've been the bottom of the pot because it was hard and kind of burnt tasting, so pretty disappointed in the pretzel choice. Our meals came and honest to God the Smashburger looked like a kids meal. This tiny burger plopped on a big white plate with onion rings, and the burger was not good. The bison burger did not have any of the sauces on it that it stated in the menu so he needed to ask for some love on the burger. So the waiter brought over a bunch of sauces. It's a shame because they talk about this place all the time and I really wanted to try it and it just wasn't up to par. I ended up taking my Smashburger home, and the next day I scraped the nasty sauce off it, added mayonnaise to the bun and an extra slice of cheese and it was actually pretty good. I definitely wanna come again because they talk about this place all the time and how good the food is. Maybe it was just the night we went.

It's really cool. And cozy. We sat at a high-top table away from the bar. We usually sit at bars, but that's ok. Got there late. TV's are everywhere. Not a problem finding a tv with our game on it. Our server was perfection. I think her name was Kelly but can't swear to it. Very attentive and very nice. Good looking, woman, too. The food was good. I ordered the wings. I don't like wing drumettes, especially the really large ones. I prefer the wing tips. Wing drumettes are supposed to be small. The whole idea is that you eat many of them like you would a snack or appetizer, not one or two really big ones where you get full, like a KFC wing. But the wing tips were normal sized. And they were flavored well and cooked properly. We also ordered the nachos. While I appreciate the thought, no thanks. Sports bar nachos should be sports-ish. I mean, melted cheddar or nacho cheese smothering yellow corn chips and chili or ground beef, and beans and jalapenos. The nachos at Junkyard are boutique, like something women would eat at The Henry or Viggilucci's. The Junkyard has a sort of rough and tough motif, you know, steampunk/biker/mechanic/car enthusiast. The nachos should reflect that theme. Other than that, we will definitely be back. OH!..one more nuance. The back corner tv's are blocked by this huge "Junkyard" sign over the pool table. Hope those tv's weren't the expensive ones. Maybe raise or lower that sign. My view in photo.

We visit at least once a month with friends from the nearby climbing gym, and always with our 6-year-old in tow who LOVES this place thanks to all the games there are to play. My favorite go-to menu item is the crunch wrap with carne asada - it's large so my husband and I usually split it. Their salsa is bomb, too (especially the green). We've also had some of their burgers, tacos, and our daughter always gets a personal pizza. The personal pizza scenario is the only thing I have beef with here - you get a 7" plain cheese pizza for $12, and you can add a max of 3 toppings which cost extra, so in the end our kid's food is more expensive than ours. Hey Fat Joe's - pleeeease considering adding a small pizza to the kid's menu and price it closer to the other $7 and $8 items!! The interior walls of Fat Joe's are decorated with art and murals of all the most important and beloved features of our city. The bartenders are friendly and efficient - drinks are poured/mixed and handed off quickly, and food arrives at your table shortly after. Bathrooms are always well-stocked and clean. Parking is pretty much limited to street parking and while it is limited, we've never had an issue finding a spot nearby. Finding solid family-friendly spots can be in short supply, but Fat Joe's hits all my criteria and remains one of our favorite spots to eat and spend time together.
