JOE'S CRAB SHACK REVIEWS

Excellent food. Our waiter, Tyler was a rock star! He wore a crab costume for a group picture with us. This was our first trip and he made it great. Great suggestions we all enjoyed. You need to eat here! We got 3 souvenir cups and got to keep our crab tool. Such a great experience.

The service and food was amazing. Our server, Reyley, was very attentive and made our experience a good one. The happy hour menu is one of the best I've seen in a long time. Great food at a great value. We will be coming back.

My wife and I both had the king crab. Was very good and had tons of crab. Our server Katie was awesome, very personable and attentive. Gorgeous view of the sunset from our table.

ROCKIN' BAJA LOBSTER REVIEWS

We stayed walking distance from here. I had seen great reviews and we decided to go here for our anniversary. It did not disappoint. I told our waiter (Otto) what I was craving, and he recommended a perfect dish. Everything was so yummy!The lobster chowder and rice were so delish! My 1yo and 8yo loved it. We will definitely be returning next time we're in Oceanside. Food, service and atmosphere were great.

Amazing spot and a must try! I got the Alaskan bucket for 2 and it was some of the best sea food I've had!!! Not to mention their Carne asada and chicken is phenomenal! If you're in Oceanside give this place a try.

Husband had the lobster lovers combo & I got the key lime shrimp they were both excellent the lobster combo is a lot to eat so you'll be taking some home or maybe sharing it.

OCEANSIDE BROILER REVIEWS

My wife and I had a great experience this past Valentine's Day. We sat outside on the patio and watched the remnants of daylight shortly after sunset. The waitresses were very attentive, the appetizers were delightful, and our main courses as well. Highly recommend if you haven't been.

I found this restaurant close to Del Mar resort, making it both convenient and easy access from the base! The atmosphere was very friendly and hosts were awesome! We will definitely visit there again.

Always delightful. Love having a wonderful spot located on the harbor. Daily happy hour makes it even better.
