    Lemon pepper wet , wings on fire, buffalo hot, garlic Parmesan wings
    Luis A.

    WOW, idk how this place is rated 3.5 stars it is an absolute BANGER!!! Best wings of North County and it's not even close. The pizza dough is super flavorful. The vibe is immaculate. Fair warning it is an Eagles Bar so if you want the smoke during an eagles game get ready for HANDS!!! All jokes aside this is the BEST place to take your friends for a good time and wings. FIH STAHHHHHHHHHHHH

    Just regular wings.

    Arrived to a packed house because the NFL playoffs started today. We were given a small table while we waited for the place to clear out after the first game. We were seated pretty quickly after the first game and our server came to the table. She looked worn out. Not friendly at all. But, I'm a firm believer in being nice regardless of the circumstances. She took our orders and was pretty attentive throughout our time there. It didn't look like there were enough servers working. We ordered wings, pretzel bites and pizza. The wings and pretzel bites came out in about 15 minutes. My husband enjoyed his wings. The pretzel bites were very hot, which is great, but they were the hardest pretzel bites I've ever been served. They also had a burnt taste. Would not order again. The pizza came out as ordered on a super thin crust. It was ok. The crust looked pressed and was a bit like cardboard. Not terrible but not a place to go if you're looking for great pizza. The server ended up saying she'd had a lot of trouble with customers that day and thanked us for being nice. All in all a decent place to watch a game and get some drinks.

    This sports bar is poppin! Lots of locals seem to gather, have drinks, and foods. Noticed a lot of groups, including family with kids. They do have a separate arcade section with a race car game & the claw toy machine. They have really good food, and huge portions. You definitely get what you pay for. The burgers are the party. They are tall and may require utensils. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger while my husband ordered the draft burger. They have coke products (which i personally appreciate) and a full bar. Staff was great and seem to work together with the busy crowd!

    Pretty good. I came here once with my mom like 10-15 years ago with a Groupon and see they're still having a very similar deal. My son has been here a few times and says they have great wings. To be honest, the wings did not look appealing to me at all. So I didn't try it. I did have the Caesar wrap with fries. The wrap was pretty good except it had way too much dressing. I think it would make more sense to dress the lettuce lightly as you would a salad and then putting that in the wrap. Also a few of the chicken pieces had weird hard spots but at least you can tell it's real chicken cuz sometimes when I cook I get those bits from the connective tissues or whatever. The fries were nice, the bigger cuts weren't my favorite but the thinner ones were and they definitely seem fresh cut. The ranch was exactly as you'd want it to be for a place apparently known for their wings. I would come back. Probs won't specifically suggest it but open to coming and keeping an eye out for a different Groupon not for burgers. Potato skin I would skip. They are cut too thick and I prefer a crispier outer texture. Also the bacon wasn't really cooked right either. Seems to be put on top and expected to cook in the over with the potato? Not crisp and weird texture Service is friendly. Ambiance is typical sports bar. The owner is an eagles fan so maybe come here if you are too

    Overall the service was good our server continuously checked up on us. It's a sports bar so there were games playing all around us and it was loud but we were still able to have a conversation. The curly fries were good and the wings themselves were nothing great. I ordered 6 regular buffalo medium and only got one flat which was also disappointing while my friend got essentially all flats. Not going to be my preference in wings but it was a good time.

    Lemon Pepper Wings soooooooo delicious!!
    Sylvia A.

    Wowww what a gem. My first visit was when first arriving from the airport. I was craving some lemon pepper wings. We placed our order to go. I checked my trusty yelp and the reviews were pretty good. I pre-paid online and left a proper tip and our food was ready on time. I first ordered ten lemon pepper wings fried. Omggg they were so flavorful, crunchy had the perfect amount of seasoning and I demolished nearly half of mine in the car. Do you know I went back the following day to order 30 more wings. Now these wings are good and even when you reheat them in the microwave they still have the flavor. It comes with celery sticks and carrots and a very nice signature ranch dip. Now because I love this place so much. I tried the personal size pizza. It did not disappoint. I had the Philly cheese steak pizza. My husband tried the supreme. We both were satisfied. I haven't had the pleasure of dining in yet. All of our orders were placed online. The food was delicious. Now I can't comment on the inside dining experience as of yet but you can trust I will be back!!

    Garlic parmesan and buffalo chicken wings

    I would say the best wings in Oceanside. Great beer selection. I think it was happy hour and beer and wine was $5.50 each. Wings were 10 wings for $12. Casual environment and lots of TVs for live sports. The onion rings were pretty tasty too.

    Wings, chipotle and lemon pepper

    Great spot to hang out at on game days. Be prepared for loud, passionate fans yelling at the TVs Great selection of beers and alcohol. I've had their IPAs and the Mexican candy shot which was delicious! We also ordered wings and they were big and juicy.

    Wings and pepperoni pizza

    Found our new go to place. We used to go to Junkyard, but since the new owners renovated, foods just ok and prices went way up with bad service. But finding this plane now is great! Incredible bar food. Drinks are great as well as the local relaxed atmosphere. This is truly a great local bar. Wings and food are so much better than our old haunt. We will be regulars.

    Bacon cheeseburger  yum!

This is a no-frills country bar through and through -- think boots, country music, and a local crowd unwinding after work. The place has three full-size pool tables and two dart boards, which is decent for the size. There's plenty of parking in the back lot, which is always a plus. I was told they offer free pool on weekdays, but I happened to show up during league night, so tables were reserved and I only squeezed in one quick game. Still had fun, but it definitely limited the experience. Beer-wise, prices are moderate (nothing crazy for the area), but the tap selection is pretty limited if you're hoping for variety beyond the usual domestics and a couple macros. The lounge area feels basic -- a few high-tops and bar seating that could use some upgrading for comfort. A couple of easy wins would take this place up a notch: adding an outdoor smoking patio (big miss for a country bar crowd) and expanding the beer taps. Those changes would make it way more comfortable for hanging out longer. Overall, it's a cool, laid-back dive if you're in the mood to shoot pool on a quiet weekday afternoon or evening. Nothing fancy, but it has that authentic local feel. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants affordable drinks, a game of pool, and zero pretension. Just check the schedule first so you don't hit league night! Would return on a non-league weekday.

My favorite place to sit is on the patio because I love to say hi to all the dogs, and they are very dog friendly! The inside is also cozy and with a fun steam "fire pit" that adds a nice little extra touch. My service has always been great too, I will say most of the servers don't have a ton of knowledge on gluten free items but all have been willing to ask the kitchen for me. It might good for them to get a bit more training on allergies but overall I've been happy with the service.

I added steak and was asked how I wanted it cooked (I said medium), but it came out completely well done. It honestly felt like there was no quality check before the food left the kitchen. The most frustrating part happened at the end. My table was still seated, and I stepped away to use the restroom for maybe 5 minutes. When I came back, my family had gone outside and accidentally forgot to grab my boxed leftovers. When I returned to the table, my food - that I paid for and personally packed up - had been thrown away. When I asked about it, the response I got was, "99 percent of people don't come back for their food." That was pretty shocking to hear. No apology no solution. I had literally just stepped away for a few minutes. It's disappointing that instead of holding onto it briefly or asking someone at the table, it was immediately tossed. Might as well have thrown my money in the garbage. To make matters worse, I went to their website and wrote to corporate about this experience two weeks ago and never received a response. I waited to hear back before writing this review however at this point, I can only assume they simply DON'T care. Between the overdressed salad, overcooked steak, the lack of quality control, and the dismissive customer service, it just wasn't a great experience. Hopefully they take feedback more seriously in the future.

I was soooo excited about the Philly connection, as I'm very familiar with cheesesteaks having lived near Philly in a past life. Well, I was sorely disappointed. We were told that the bread is flown in daily from Philly. Well, I don't know where it's coming from because it's definitely not the same bread as what they normally use there. The sandwich and meat were dry and flavorless. Totally underwhelming unfortunately. So then we saw that they made key lime pie there too! Again, I was SUPER excited because key lime pie is my favorite dessert of all time. And again...disappointment. I took one glance and saw that it was light green in color and knew I was gonna be mad. Yall, Key lime pie is yellow. You should NEVER add food coloring. That's just gross and inaccurate. The texture and flavor were also off. Texturally it was way too thick and dense, which would have been fine if it actually tasted like key lime. But it was severely lacking in that tart key lime flavor that it's known for. I'd definitely go back because of the service and vibe. But I'll maybe try a burger and the cheesecake instead.
