    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!

    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.

    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

    Draft beers. Some of my favorites from Sonoma County and a bunch of wonderful local beers as well

    Consistency great. Music isn't too loud so you can still talk (huge for me). We had the Draft burger with a fried egg, yumm! Last time, a new young man was our server so you could see the learning curve but still wonderful. Today, seasoned, knowledgeable, fun, perfection. Her name is Sydney. She was the bomb. We will come back. Best time (and I don't even like sports, lol.)

    Lemon Pepper Wings soooooooo delicious!!

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

I think I heard the hostess put in the order after she placed the slices in the box, I heard her remention my order and I asked if it was done, she said No, she was just asking the cook for the status after I had already waited for I wanna say 4 ppl to order then my order was rechecked and still not ready.

We played darts and occupied what used to be the smoking room (last time I remember about 15 years ago). Now you need to smoke outside. Parking is mostly in the back. There is some up-front but for security sake I wouldn't park there (break-ins more likely if no one is looking at your car, unlike the back parking lot which always has people outside smoking). Drinks were good. Not too weak and not too strong. Try the "-196" strawberry seltzer in a can from Japan (made by Suntory). I think it was $6? Pretty good and 5.5% ABV. They had a Hazy IPA on draft that was pretty good. Few other taps too (SpaceDust, other domestics). They do not serve food other than bagged potato chips. But, they allow you to bring in food from the outside. You can even get food delivered. We ordered two large pizzas from Pizza on Tap and fed the 10 people we had. We stayed until 8pm and the place was pretty full up by then. Not a bad joint.

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.
