Oceanside Broiler

The views + the menu + the service :) From the oysters, to sweet potato fries, salad, pasta, and steak it's all worth a try. Bringing my parents here was a hit. We sat inside with a window view of the boating docks. My friend and I met for a casual lunch and she loved the outdoor seating in the back. Plenty of parking. Plenty of seating options. Attentive servers with great attitudes.

It's a great Sunday breakfast and brunch spot!

Big kudos to Jesse and Melissa for being so dang kind. I'm late on this review as I forgot to hit post.

This place is so beautiful and has the best views in the area. Inside and outside dinning, phenomenal staff and incredible food.

This location hosts the Marine Executive Association meetings the third Tue of each month and the staff treats everyone so well for this event.

My family and I like visiting this location as well. It's our go to in Oceanside. Pro tip, clam chowder is a great starter.

Large bar is perfect for happy hours as well.

Plenty of parking in the lot, and after dinner you can enjoy beautiful sunsets and a stroll along the harbor.

Good beer & wine selection. We ordered their calamari, OMG it was excellent.
We both ordered the Snapper. It was very good also.
Service and staff were very good and friendly.

I was really hoping for some good seafood and ordered appropriately. Had the grilled Pacific swordfish, and all I can really say about that is it was dry may have been overcooked and also very flavorless. This place is average at best. Which is kind of disappointing given its location. I'll go back maybe, but I'm definitely not gonna get that dish again. Service was fantastic and the atmosphere is really nice.

quintessential fried zucchini amazing hand breaded to perfection, with house made warm marinara, fantastico!! Bravo! Service is off the charts! Hooked for life!
Amazing Happy Hours! Yes plural.

Location/view is great. Service was decent. Drinks were good. I really wanted to like this place. I ordered the prime rib. When it arrived I thought it looked a little funny; was a tan color, even the marbled fat was opaque, not translucent. However, everyone else in my party of six had their meals, and I chalked it up to possibly a different cooking method that I was not aware of, maybe even a seasoning.

First bite was a little off-putting. Sometimes I will attribute that to the flavor of the drink I just had. Second bite no better, I was really hungry, so one more bite, and that was it. So bad, actually tasted like it was spoiled. The server even approached me, seeing the look on my face, and asked me if I was okay.

I told her honestly, and she was kind enough to take it back and bring me something else to eat. Having said that, by the time I received it, the rest of my party was done with their meal and sat waiting for me to eat. Uncomfortable at best. I expected that I would be sick. It did not get to that level fortunately, most likely because I stopped eating it quickly, but there was some stomach discomfort.

Here's my greatest disappointment. Mistakes happen. However, something like this was completely avoidable, and possibly intentional. Intentional, that is, to save cost by selling a piece of meat that was old. Certainly avoidable. Any chef that just looks at a plate should be able to tell that something is wrong. Goes back to choosing to send something out that should not have been.

Not good, will not be back.

It was a quiet Sunday evening, but the ambience is always wonderful no matter what time I go to the Broiler. I was craving Mahi tacos and a nice cabernet and they surely hit the spot. Paired with black beans and rice... Yum! My phone died before I could photograph my bread pudding birthday cake! It was so, so delicious.:) Thank you Arial!! Yes, my birthday is around the corner and it's a big one!! Woot! Woot!!!

Service was outstanding. The happy hour on Thursday provided eukalele music and the fastest kitchen I have ever encountered! The food arrived before my cocktail within 5 minutes of ordering Two thumbs up!

This is a nice Oceanside location sitting right in the harbor. But, food is not very good at all! Bland, tasteless, disappointing! If you want drinks and an appetizer with a nice ocean vibe, this would work. I would not suggest it for a full meal or a special occasion.

Came here recently after a long hiatus. We were attracted to the happy hour they have daily from 11am to 6am. Then quickly learned the happy hour is a sham! When you compare the happy hour menu to the regular menu everything is only .95 cents cheaper during happy hour. Not even a full dollar off? Wow, It's laughable.
We thought about ordering oysters then saw it was $9 for 3 oysters? Wow that's steep! $3 each and it's supposedly a special? You are much better off going to Q&A oyster house. They have 3 oysters for $5 during happy hour, a nicer ambience, and overall better vibe.
The house margaritas weren't good. They tasted just like lime so I switched over to their draft beer. At least you can't mess up a beer.
The pluses of coming here are #1 the view and #2 they never have a wait. However, neither the food or drinks are anything to ensure a return.
