Brisket is so soft and tender, I'd come back for the brisket alone. The hush puppies are sooo good and the fried pickle fries were basically inhaled by my husband and I. Would def go back again.

My faaaaavorite treat when I hit downtown Oceanside. The softness and warmth of the fish cone paired with cold ice cream is *chefs kiss* sis.

Where we go for good food and a chill vibe. It's pretty busy on weekends and evenings so it's a great place to socialize when you're in the mood.
Local Tap House

A Local LEGEND. An ICON. A community staple, if you will. Literally the best fish and chips in town. This is a hill I'll die on.

One of the best rooftop spots to watch the sunset and games. Their food is top tier and the vibes are more chill than other rooftop spots in downtown Oside.
Finney's Craft House

A more high-end rooftop spot with a stunning front view of the beach. The food is portioned small but it's not terrible. I go for the views though.

When locals support locals, you get Banana Dang. It's my favorite kind of wholesomeness.

The harbor has some of the best restaurants in Oceanside and out of all of them, Stratford on the Harbor takes the cake for me because their fish & chips are just about perfect. A different kind of perfect from TinFish.

One of those local spots you don't know about unless someone tells you about it first. It's small, cozy, and the food is to die for.
THE BUCCANEER CAFE

Fot date nights that need a slight step up from casual. They often have live music and different community events going on. Whether you go for hte food or the community, this spot will NOT disappoint.

My go-to Vegan spot in Oceanside. One of the closest and best tasting. It can be hard to find vegan or plant based meals that are truly memorable but The Plot does this seamlessly.

The BEST date night activity and you can do it weekly. The food, the people, the coastal breeze.. Sunset Market is an Oceanside staple and legend. You won't ever want to miss it.

Before Sunset Market starts, the Farmers Market owns the day for Thursdays in Oceanside. Local produce and brands  at your fingertips. A MUST-SEE if you're in oceanside. And make sure you stay or come back for Sunset Market in the evening.
