this review is based on a delivery order. I had such high hopes for this. I have been to the OG…read moreJunkyard many years ago and the food/ambiance was great. This food experience was not as good. I ordered the fish and chips priced at $27.50. I had to choose a side because if you want fries aka chips, that's considered a side. if you also want Cole slaw as shown in the menu picture, that's extra. I did not get the Cole slaw, so can't rate the taste. You also pay extra for tartar sauce. Again, the price is $27.50 and they charge extra for sauce. The fish was crispy and hot, but it was 90% breading. The fish was so thin, I doubt it was even cod, seems more like tilapia or something. Honestly, fish sticks would be better because at least they're meatier. the fries were tasty, and my food was prepared quickly, and delivered hot & fresh. Unfortunately, that's not enough to justify the price.

I instantly set a reservation (didn't really need it) and we arrived around 4pm on a Tuesday and sat on the patio. Happy hour is daily from 4-6pm and if you sit on the recently renovated patio, drinks are 50% off. I ordered the Ribeye as my birthday entree and we also ordered the Fried Zucchini ($7), Popcorn Chicken ($9), Guajillo Braised Pork Shoulder ($21) and several cocktails ($7 each during HH). Everything was great honestly. No complaints. My wife REALLY loved the braised pork shoulder. My steak was excellent and even though it was free, $32 for a ribeye is the lowest you'll find anywhere. It was nice having not having to fight for a seat. Enjoying a cocktail on the patio in perfect weather is something everyone should try. Highly recommend coming to Mission Ave Bar & Grill for happy hour and to check out the new patio. Make sure to register for their mailing list to get birthday offers too!

Unfortunately, this location was a huge disappointment. Unlike the Texas Roadhouse location in Washington, the food here was dry and lacked flavor. The atmosphere was completely out of control, and the music was so loud that we couldn't even have a conversation at our own table. The entire place felt chaotic and disorganized. On top of that, this place gets EXTREMELY busy, and honestly, it's not worth all the hype. We understand restaurants can get crowded, but the overall experience simply did not match the reputation. Definitely not the quality or environment we expected from Texas Roadhouse.

We came to celebrate a friend's birthday and planned on ordering multiple drinks and food, but we were left waiting for long periods without any attention. At one point, we were ignored for over 30 minutes, and one of our drinks did not arrive until right before we paid the bill. It also seemed that the original server stopped checking on our table entirely, and another staff member eventually had to assist us. Considering it was Tuesday around 3 PM and the restaurant was not very busy, the lack of service was disappointing and unexpected. While the experience started well, the overall service ultimately fell short and left us disappointed.

The bartender Dane (long haired male…read morebartender I might have the name wrong) spiked my water with vodka and only after being very off put by the taste (I had my friends try the drink, I've been drugged before and if anything tastes off I'm overly cautious) when he came to ask if I liked my "water" he admitted to adding vodka to it and treated it as if it was a joke. This happened few months ago and I tried to give it a few more chances as this one of the only higher end cocktail lounges from Oceanside. 2. Last night I witnessed extreme domestic abuse at the bar, the bartenders allowed it to happen and did nothing. Avoid this bar, the bartenders literally spike drinks, and allow violence as if it's common occurrence

He guided us through the menu and recommended ordering a variety of dishes to share from each category, which turned out to be a great suggestion. We started with the tomato appetizer, cornbread, and the standout dish of the night--the incredible head of broccoli. For our mains, our son and daughter-in-law shared the roasted chicken, while my husband and I shared the pork chop. Every dish was exceptional, but the broccoli truly stole the show--even my husband, who rarely eats vegetables, loved it. Kaden struck the perfect balance with his service--attentive without ever being overbearing--which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Walk-ins usually end up sitting at the communal high top tables. It isn't too bad but a tiny bit uncomfortable for people on the shorter side (like me). The ambiance is fine glamping style so you do want to be just a teeny bit dressed up. Dressing as if you were camping won't quite work in this restaurant. The servers are nice enough but the place is quite loud so you really have to yell to hear each other. My friend and I ordered a bunch of things to share. We got the tomato, the carrot, the broccoli, and the pork belly. I ordered one of their newer ciders but it tasted more like beer than a cider. Among the shareables, the broccoli (which is the most popular) was actually our least favorite. My friend's top choice was the tomato and mine was a very very close tie between the carrot and the pork belly. Those three dishes were unique, absolutely delicious, very different from each other and had a medley of different flavors. The broccoli unfortunately was too oily and felt heavy and single flavor dominant. It wasn't bad but I can't quite see why people aren't about the other clearly superior dishes. We didn't get dessert here because it didn't speak to us. Pricing wise, it is on the pricier side. I guess that is expected for Carlsbad and given who owns this restaurant. Parking is in the public parking lot behind the restaurant.
