The wait staff was friendly and the menu had all our favorite BBQ dishes with some unique drink options. We ordered the Sliders trio which was very delicious as well as the BBQ chicken. ALL GOOD! My only critique would be the pulled pork and chicken being pulled and not so chunky and needed to be dipped in the sauce not the sauce being poured over. Other than that, thumbs up!

I ordered takeout online. I got the oxtail; it was succulent and juicy. I got plantains (nice and…read moresweet!) and greens. The plate worked so well with the rice and beans. I also got the jerk chicken. I wasn't a fan of the spices (too spicy) and the chicken was dry. I wish the chicken was on the bone. Lastly, I tried the beef patty. The crust could have been flakier but the beef was well-spiced and worked with the spicy but fruity hot sauce. Jamaican/Carribbean food is very hard to come by in CA, so I would certainly do another takeout for this special food.

Two weeks later and I'm still thinking about this spot…read more Pulled up to The Flying Pig Pub & Kitchen on a perfect California spring Friday night, and it delivered across the board. The beer and drink selection alone is worth the visit--tons of options whether you're keeping it casual or trying something new. Food-wise... the Bacon Mac N Cheese was next level. Rich, flavorful, and exactly what you want it to be. My buddy (who was literally about to move out of town) went with the burger--and let's just say he picked the right "last meal" in Oceanside. What really stood out though was the service. Top of the line from start to finish. Big shoutout to Mitch--young guy, super personable, clearly takes pride in what he does. He was everywhere in the best way, checking in on tables, making people feel taken care of. Honestly, the way he moves, he should be serving--he's got that natural touch. Great food, great drinks, great people. One of those nights that just hits right. I'll definitely be back.

Everything on the menu sounds amazing, unfortunately what we chose was just ok…read more The service was very slow and the seating was challenging for my 8 year old... low with random cushions the kept slipping. We moved chairs around and grabbed blankets and got it worked out without any help from staff. Porkbelly appetizer was overcooked and lacked anything special that made it memorable. The pork chop was also overcooked and the grits were very thick.. cheesy but not creamy. The short ribs were dry.... Strange for braised meat and not enough sauce. The sauce was really good as were the mashed potatoes and carrots. The burger was excellent. Really juicy with a great bun. The atmosphere is very cool and inviting. I would return for burgers and to try the fried chicken. It looked awesome coming out of the kitchen. The burger was excellent.

They weren't too sweet It was a perfect side to my cat catfish. We also got the southern BBQ rip tips, chopped spare rib ends, which were well seasoned. With this dish, we got the side of mac & cheese, which was very cheesy and one of our favorite dishes. We also tried the BBQ baby back ribs. The lunch portion comes with four pieces. We got it with the side of hoppin John which is like beans with other stuff in it, it was pretty good. We also got a side of mashed potatoes which was really good and had plenty of gravy. Loved the service, this place is pretty small and most people who came got take out, but if you're in the the area, it's definitely worth a stop!!

First time here. I thought the meats were alright but nothing special. The brisket was def like 1/3…read morefat in the middle, the ribs were hardly tender, fried chicken was meh. Not a big catfish person myself, but the catfish nuggets were actually pretty good. On the flip, sides were really good.

The woman at the counter was handling the many takeout orders like a boss and super helpful/friendly for this first timer. All that being said, I was disappointed to end up unswallowing everything for an hour straight. Not sure what item made me sick but the rest of this $41 meal is going in the trash.

333 Pacific was a solid four stars for me. While there were some things they excelled at, there…read morewere a few disappointments that detracted from the overall experience. One thing that was really stellar about 333 Pacific was we made reservations for their first time slot of the day at noon, and despite arriving about 12 minutes early before opening, we were still able to be seated. We drove nearly an hour to get here and it was pretty windy outside, so we appreciated the opportunity to be out of the elements. Our waitress was very nice and throughout our meal multiple staff assisted. No one ever missed a beat. They were all very pleasant and worked well together. You could tell the morale here is very high! We stared out with the calamari, which was- easily a 5 star dish! It was fried to perfection and the melange of sauces drizzled on top were *chefs kiss* excellent! Before our entree arrived they also brought out some piping hot Rosemary Bread Rolls along with some Maple Butter. I thought it was pretty good, but I wish the presence of the rosemary was dialed back so I could taste more of the Maple Butter. For an entree I had the Ahi Tuna Burger lunch special with fries. The seared Ahi Tuna was great and there was a very generous portion served on the burger. The Brioche bun was not very good though, and I feel the shallots on the burger were a bit overwhelming. The fries with the dish were good, but pretty standard fare. I would've preferred the option of a small green salad instead of fries if it was available. My husband ordered the Cioppino. I tried it and it was delicious- another 5 star dish! It had a very deep flavor and lots of seafood. A lot of work to get to some of the seafood, but well worth the effort. The main miss of the meal was my husband ordered a Dr. Pepper and it was flat. He let the waitress know and she went to another station to get a fresh one, and it too, was on the flat side. By this point, my husband just wanted water since the carbonation wasn't up to par. The waitress did a great job and really tried to fix the situation, but the carbonation just wasn't working. I had a Strawberry Lemonade which was fine, but could've used a little oomph for the $8 price tag. Another miss was the terrible smell in the women's restroom. It was either dry drain or some other plumbing issue, but it was pretty bad. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. Overall, we did have a nice lunch here with a great view of the beach. The things that were amiss can easily be fixed, so I'm sure they are not permanent issues. Glad to have dined here, the staff really elevated the experience and made us feel very welcomed.

I'm surprised this place is still around! Golden Corrals are franchised, and I'm sure there are…read moreprobably decent ones somewhere else in the country that may be similar to Hometown Buffet. BUT this one ain't it! There were a handful of items that were decently edible like mashed potatoes and gravy. The salad bar was also alright. It's difficult to mess up chopped lettuce mix because it only requires opening a bag or container and pouring the contents into the bin. Fried chicken was fine as long as you are able to get a piece or two. I noticed if you come in later in the evening, the food is not replenished so you are stuck with bottom of the bin caked on dry remnants. Here are the highlights: the server bringing the drinks and busing tables was doing her best to be happy and welcoming. One of the cooks was very courteous and also did her best to anticipate customer needs. They get two thumbs up! Now for the fun part: The clam chowder was too salty and had an aftertaste of old dirty towel, promising a fitting end to my evening with a bad tummy ache. The cook making the steak didn't seem to care about communicating a single word with the customers. Her sole purpose was to repeatedly flip something that looked like meat and point to a bin full of burned protein hockey pucks. I noticed how the line of hungry patrons grew with eager anticipation as she stopped flipping and started attempting to slice. As each diner finally walked away with something on their plate, she was free to disappear in the back to probably make more clam chowder. I watched a couple seated near me with steak on their plate. Husband was breaking a sweat trying to slice a piece while his wife was busy trying to gracefully eject something inedible from her mouth. Now on to the pinnacle of the meal - dessert time. There wasn't much left, so I chose a slice of pecan pie. It looked promising, like something you could pick up at the local grocery store, but that's where any similarity ends. It tasted old and stale, like it was made from expired corn syrup found at the bottom of the moldy basement. The soft serve ice cream machine was screaming like an exit door alarm every time someone pulled the arm to coax out some frozen ice milk. Then I spotted the highlight of the evening. I didn't think it was possible to mess up jello, but heck you learn something new everyday. I captured that masterpiece in a photo. Sadly, the owner of this location really needs to put many improvements in place. People do enjoy going to buffets and truly miss Souplantation and HomeTown Buffet. Golden Corral has the potential to fill this gap. It is in a good location anchored by Target with lots of parking to serve a busy neighborhood in oceanside. It also has a few employees who still care to do a good job. So please take the good location and good staff and make this Golden Corral a worthy business for hungry patrons looking to spend money at a place with quality food and variety.

The staff was on it when it comes to clearing our table. They were efficient and friendly, that's about it. We went on Sunday lunch, arrived around 1ish. It wasn't packed, but a lot of containers were empty. Steak. They didn't have a consistent person there, at times people just waited until someone showed up. They also gave super rare meat. The outside was nicely charred, but the inside, pure red. Unfortunately, the attendant lady making it didn't speak English and luckily, a gentleman waiting with us was able to translate for us. We were asking for medium. It was still given to us super rare. Also, it was pretty much unsanitary or cross contamination as they used the same tong to grab raw meat, grill the meat, then put the meat on our plate. I'm talking about she's using the same tong mid way grabbing raw meat and flipping and giving us our steak. Food signage was all over the place. About 50% (or more) was off. So don't even bother reading those, just assume what you're grabbing. Everything tasted bland or generic, like no name brand food just got heated and put on the platter, same for the salad items. Like I mentioned, you go here to get full. We got buy one get one free meal, so essentially, for $11 per person, it's a great deal, but I'd never pay full price for them. I'd rather go to a Chinese Buffet and enjoy some fried rice. I knew what I was expecting in terms of quality. I would have probably given them more stars if they didn't have so many empty stations (which sat empty for a long time). Oh, they eventually had ham, but oh man, that was super dry! I did enjoy their pina colada slurpee, fried chicken, and chocolate covered dessert .
