    Marina view from the out door seating

    Came to the Oceanside Broiler to celebrate my friend's bday. What a lovely afternoon. Service was top notch, food was great. They have an all day type happy hour menu. We tried the following, ahi nachos, fried zucchini, coconut shrimp,mini cheese burger, tuna avocado sandwich,clam chowder, the wedge salad and oysters. Everything was delicious. We ate everything. The service was stellar. Location lovely, outside seating over looks the Marina. Give them a try!

    Very friendly staff. Delicious food. Plenty of parking. Fun to watch the boats both docked and passing by in Oceanside Harbor.

    Clams Linguine
    Ana N.

    Giving it a 5 because it was a great atmosphere and I sat outside where the breeze was breezing. Now for the review, my clam linguine had barely any clams and mostly shells. I didn't want to say anything as we had a large party but please pay attention or order something else. The Diet Coke was crisp and the bread was fresh. Also the server was attentive and friendly. Over all good experience but I did leave hungry as my meal had only carbs and no protein.

    My mom and I love coming here when we're at the harbor, especially for their chargrilled oysters. She's never been a fan of oysters, but these ones are an exception. I always bring my dogs and we order them a grilled chicken breast to share and they always bring a bowl of water out for them. The patio is really nice to sit at, and there's not really a bad seat anywhere out there. The fisherman's combo is massive, but really good. Their dinner bread is warm and soft. The staff is always nice and welcoming.

    What an incredible experience! A stunning waterfront restaurant with amazing seafood, a fun coastal vibe, and an absolutely outstanding staff. Angie and her team went above and beyond, bringing out all their favorites -- the snapper, fish and chips, and a fantastic spread of appetizers that had everyone at the table raving. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. We were celebrating Lucciano's graduation from the Marines, and this was the perfect place to do it. From the service to the food to the setting, everything exceeded our expectations. Can't recommend this spot enough for celebrations, family gatherings, or just a great meal by the water!

    This is an old school establishment in the harbor with pretty views and seating inside and out. When you walk in, you can tell it's frequented by locals. People swear by the happy hour. I have been here a few times. Once pre covid for a breakfast buffet and the other times for happy hours. I have always enjoyed what I ordered. They have specials by the day and they send email specials if you subscribe. 3 of us came for dinner on this occasion. They had a $10 off salmon coupon and I just ordered happy hour specials. We all had a drink, a hh margarita, beer & a virgin mango drink. The server was beyond nice and accommodating. My friends each ordered coconut crusted salmon which looked pretty and tasted good. They both enjoyed every bite. I had a Caesar salad which was good but had a touch too much dressing and steamed clams. The clams were cooked well and a generous portion but there were a few that were unopened. The server continued to check on us frequently and kept our water filled. I will definitely come back sunset happy hour here is really nice!

    Happy Hour starting at 11am? Oh, yeah! We sat on the patio and had a beautiful view of the harbor. Our server, I think her name was Katie, was friendly, helpful and attentive. To drink, we ordered a glass of chardonnay and a bloody mary. My bloody mary was spicy and had a good kick! To eat, we tried the calamari, fried zucchini, the wedge salad and the ahi poke nachos. The calamari were big, plump strips of calamari battered and deep fried. They were fresh and tasty. The zucchini was fresh and had a panko-ish breading and also deep fried. The wedge salad was just the right size for a small entree (after having fried food) and the poke was delicious as well. My only complaint was the pickled ginger on the poke, not a fan. We will definitely be going back to try more of the happy hour options...there were a lot! 10/10

    We went here today. Looking for something decent and quick. . It has nice view of the water. We sat in outside patio area. The food was sustainable. I enjoyed my chicken lettuce wraps. Fish combo has a generous size. They have a long happy hour 11-6 , and til 8:30pm. Our services was hospitable. Parking near by.

    Happy hour: Calamari Tempura, Sauteed Chilean Mussels, Ahi Nachos (sauce on the side, extra charge for avocado)

    Classic Oside spot. A bit grungy, harbor views, and standard American fare. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Oside. Parking is plentiful in the lot or on the street. Walk down the street after to see the Oceanside sign. They boast a happy hour every day from 11 AM to 6 PM. It feels gimmicky, kind of like those sushi places that are perpetually 50% off. Food was decent for what it is.

    Big surprise! Great service, nice views and reasonably priced good food, nothing to complain. We didn't know why we hadn't been here sooner. We enjoyed their airy open interior and nicely maintained facility. Our server, Daniel was a excellent worker, friendly and knowledgeable with a professional mannerisms. We found a new place to visit in Oceanside Harbor!

    This was my second visit with my last being two years ago. I had a blueberry vodka lemonade. It had a good amount of liquor. We ordered spinach dip but since we didn't specify, it came with our food. I had the shrimp quesadilla. It was very good. I like that the shrimp were chopped. My husband ordered the linguini with clam sauce. He wasn't really happy with his choice. The pasta was overcooked. A number of clams were empty. However the taste of the dish was good. Sitting on the patio with views is amazing. We will go back and try more options. The server did apologize for the miscommunication.

    Chicken tenders w/fries on HH

    Great happy hour and right on the harbor. Nice to grab a little appetizer and drink before walking along the harbor. Great service and staff. They have HH daily til 6pm.

    Do they take reservations? Thanks to the crew here on Yelp - yes they do. The only caveat is that they only take reservations for larger parties. Table for 4 is just a walk in.

There's a self serve station for grabbing ketchup, tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and lemon wedges. The service was quick and friendly. The person who took my order explained the portion sizes and menu items very well. Overall, I had a fantastic meal and would 100% dine here again the next time I'm back in Oceanside.

The batter is light, crisp, and not greasy, which is exactly what you want from good fish and chips. Add their tartar sauce, a little malt vinegar, and honestly one of the best coleslaws around, and the whole plate just comes together perfectly. The shrimp was also a hit with us. Big, crispy shrimp with just the right amount of batter so it still feels light and not overwhelming. This made for such a great family lunch, but we've been coming here for over 10 years, so nothing about this is surprising. It is just as good as it was the first time, and it truly never misses.

The host, Chris, told us to sit where we wanted, then he kindly moved my walker out of the way. Very soon our server, Oracio, came with menus and to take our beverage orders. Too many times we have to wait, but our drinks were delivered quickly. We chose one of their local craft beer offerings. Then he gave us a perfect length of time to study our menus and order. Then our dinners arrived, also quickly. As we ate, there was the nice bonus of a beautiful sunset -- with no pressure to turn the table. If you go here on a Tuesday or Friday, ask for Oracio. The food and beverages, and the ambience were all great, and the excellent service tied the whole experience together. We'll definitely come back.

Highly recommend making reservation so you can sit on their sun patio and enjoy the views.

The food has always been excellent, no complaints at all, it's always just the service. This time around I asked player 2 if our waitress was having a bad day as soon as she came to the table.

I'm not asking for fresh made salsa/pico here, but at least some store bought salsa, even Tapatio would suffice. When I bit into my burrito, I felt and heard a loud crunch. The tortilla was overcooked and crunchy. I also had to wait 10 minutes for my burrito to cool down enough to edible levels. The "Italian sausage" advertised was hot dog. Literal hot dog. Ridiculous!
