Beautiful water pools, architecture. Friendly, knowledgable and helpful staff:-)
Breakfast Club Diner by Monica L.
This place feels like the classic American diner, albeit involved in an 80s explosion. The decor is cute and a nice throwback. I ordered the Frisco burger and had no complaints. If I had to say something bad about this place it'd be our server...she was just kind of standoffish and quick to rush us. However, the girl serving the table behind us seemed to actually be enthusiastic and welcoming, so...I guess it just depends!
Surf Bowl by Jennifer Bates
Unfortunately I don't live in Oceanside anymore (it's much colder here) but when I did I looooooved bowling here, first with my parents and then with my friends. It just has such a great local vibe. Miss this place! :(
