Flying Pig Pub & Kitchen

Definitely gets busy, so come early or be prepared to wait!Casual dining but legit food. 5/5 Cauliflower app - crispy, spicy4/5 burger - A bit too simple with two patties and cheese. Would've liked some veggies on it.5/5 tri tip sandwich - I usually don't spring for tri tip because they are typically dry. Their tri tip was tender and juicy.

We sat outside it was a nice day. But service was a little slow. Food was very tasty and well presented. We all enjoyed their cocktails. Very nice experience overall. Would dine here again.

The food was okay, we started off with the truffle fries, which had an excellent dipping sauce. I had the short ribs with grits. The grits I thought was cooked very well but I shouldn't have added all the cheese and bacon, it really took away from the grits itself. We also had a side mashed potatoes with gravy which to me wasn't that great. My better half ate the fried chicken thighs with greens which was juicy and tasty.We ordered 3 drinks which was a bit on the pricey side but very tasty. Our servers had great attitudes and were attentive so our needs throughout the evening.

Best gem of a place. Rib eye, short rib, octopus salad, kids Mac cheese, with Alabama Vacation drink that sneaks up on you. Will be back!Great service

We love to travel down the coast on the train and today we came with 5 other couples for a day of exploring and some eats...Because we were 12 I decided to call and get a reservation while on the train just to be safe. I was going off Yelp! reviews and what a great choice it was. The place is really nicely decorated. We were seated in a large room away from the bar but it gave our loud large group some room to ourselves. Our waitress Sam was awesome, she did a great job with a huge personality. After serving our drinks we started with some appetizers. We shared fried pickles, the goat cheese the new deviled eggs. All were great, especially that goat cheese.My wife and I ordered the Shrimp & Grits and the Mussels. I don't think you can make a bad choice here. Our group was super happy with their decisions including the Fried Chicken and Beignets, Shrimp Po Boy, the Watermelon salad and a couple of burgers.We were stuffed but one in our group had to taste the banana Beignets and we all tasted it. Again, everything here is good. The service is amazing, the drinks are amazing, the decor is.. well you get the drift. Can't wait to get back here.

Swung in to check out the Flying Pig Pub & Kitchen in Oceanside. Surprisingly quiet for an early afternoon during the Summer, I was able to score a seat at the bar rather easily. I went with the local Karl Strauss Hill Street Blonde draft (San Diego) and the Pork Verde Chilaquiles before brunch stopped being served at 3pm. My bartender was friendly and it appeared that there was a family-run feel to the staff (including management) running around helping each other out, checking on patrons and asking how the experience was. I found that type of effort, especially during a slower period, to be indicative of the detailed attention to service excellence at the Pig. The restaurant itself was nice, open air with plenty of indoor and covered outdoor seating to people watch in Downtown Oceanside. The bar itself had a dozen seats, a two small TVs to watch the latest sporting events. The chilaquiles were served up in a small iron skillet. At first, one may think that the diminutive portion size won't be adequate, however, once you dive in, you'll find that it was packed with incredible flavor. The pulled pork was extremely tender, served with a spicy salsa verde over a bed of tortilla chips. Topped with a perfectly cooked fried egg, cotija cheese and cilantro, this dish was deep in flavor and hearty. The bathrooms are clean, well-stoked and easily accessible. The prices are comparable to other establishments in the area near the beach, but the value you get in the homemade offerings blows most other Oceanside gastropubs away. For the drinking crowd, the beer was delicious and I also witnessed a fellow patron order the Bloody Mary. I must say, it looked delicious, right down to the extremely unique and rather porkified garnish. Next time you are in Oceanside, swoop into The Flying Pig Pub & Kitchen, you won't be disappointed.

I have had this place bookmarked for a thousand years--ok, maybe just a hundred--and finally visited on s Sunday evening. They have outdoor patio seating but the interior decor is charmingly chaotic, and I mean that in the best way. The cocktail, beer, and wine menu is strong. I tried the Smoke Show which is made with mezcal and, as the menu indicated, it was a "heavy hitter." It was extremely boozy and smoky. I thought it was awesome but you have to like booze and smoke to enjoy this one. Normally, I absolutely love deviled eggs but I think the ones here, while very creative, were a miss. They are quite different than normal deviled eggs, which is just fine, but they seemed very dry to me. The filling wasn't as luxuriously creamy as normal deviled eggs. I give them points for the very interesting ingredients, however.The short ribs were incredibly tender and delicious and the portion size was generous . The grits under the ribs was fine but needed seasoning. Alas, there is no salt on any of the tables. I have no doubt our terrific server would have brought me some amazing gourmet salt if I had asked but hey, no big deal. I loved the ribs.The scallops entree over risotto was very good. If you like scallops, give these a try.The decor is attractive and funky, the service was outstanding, and most of the food was very good. A couple of misses but I would gladly return. It's a fun place.

Wasn't too hungry but stopped in for some apps and drinks. The mac and cheese and pork belly appetizers were delicious and drinks were great. Recommend it to anyone in the area!

Had a celebratory dinner for a good friend who got a life changing job, and it was terrific!Joe took care of us tonight and was on point. Checked on us regularly, keeping our drinks full and the food coming! Thanks, Joe!At the table, we had fried chicken with mashed and bacon collards, sort ribs, scallops, and a pork cop. Everything was terrific and perfectly prepared with an excellent presentation! Dessert was a double order of Beignets, fabulous!This is a beautiful restaurant with excellent food and staff, drop in and give them a try.

Trust the reviews. This place was delicious. They have unique beers and the vibes were bitchin' come check it out. Good service and ambiance
