Restaurants near Camp Pendleton South

“Camp Pendleton location, food is inconsistent and orders are usually wrong. service is not good and "management" is really bad. treat our military better!!”

“If the world were ending, I’d probably grab a box of McDonald’s chicken nuggets before heading to the nearest bunker. Why? Because these little nuggets of “chicken” are the perfect existential snack—they remind you that life is both fleeting and full of questionable decisions.

Are they good? Oh, absolutely. In the way that a warm hug from a robot programmed to destroy humanity might feel good—comforting but a little unsettling. You know deep down that these nuggets are about as natural as a sci-fi villain, yet you can’t stop dunking them in Sweet ‘n Sour sauce like it’s the cure for your rapidly deteriorating will to live.

The texture? Surprisingly satisfying. It’s like they found the perfect ratio of crunch to sponginess, somewhere between “delightful” and “why does this remind me of memory foam?” But hey, they taste great, and that’s what matters when you’re ignoring the fact that they’ve probably been on more journeys through industrial machinery than your average car engine.

If I ever have to barter during the apocalypse, a box of McNuggets might just be the gold standard of currency. Because even in the darkest of times, humanity will cling to its one true comfort: fried mystery meat that tastes delicious with the Fire Direction 🔥 🐦”

“I just wanted to take a moment to highlight how amazing Leo is at Oceanside Sizzler! From the moment we walked in, he greeted us with a warm smile and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Leo is hands down the #1 server — always attentive, friendly, and super helpful. He truly cares about making your dining experience great and is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure you're taken care of. Whether it's refilling drinks, offering suggestions, or just checking in to make sure you're enjoying your meal, Leo is on top of it. If you're lucky enough to have him as your server, you're in for a fantastic experience. Highly recommend!”

“The chicken kabob is amazing!”

“Vegan comfort food so good you'll tell everyone you know about it. My wife and I had meatloaf sandos because we haven't either of us had meatloaf in decades and we both liked it when we did eat meat. Scott's (hey Scott) meatloaf isn't like your traditional meatloaf with granules of ground beef. Instead, it is more the texture of a fine dice of beef, and man, it is mind-blowing good! I hear the Reuben will make you want to move to Oceanside. I'd love to see what this place could do with a tuna melt. The fries are superior and, well, they nailed it. Love the 60s/70s counter-culture vibe and, of course, the surf undertone (it's blocks from the waves). The service is what you would hope for and holds a soupcon of joy behind it. Scott is personable and you can see his heart is in the food and the restaurant. Finally...calling all meat eaters! This place is the place for you. I used to eat meat. I too know the dissatisfaction vegan food can bring. In short, I am not unsympathetic. You won't be dissatisfied here. I wouldn't be surprised if you returned and brought other people. I've tried all the meat substitutes and this isn't like that. They got hold of something here and it's really good.”

“We have enjoyed dining there. So, for a birthday celebration we ordered from the catering menu. We got a large butter chicken, small lamb masala, small naan, and a large basmati rice. The food was ready for pickup when we got there and everyone raved about it! Thanks Himalayan Bistro!”

“Decent and nice priced Persian restaurant. Family run place with a mini store. Beef kabob was tasty. Its tucked in the corner of a non descript strip mall. Worth the search.”

“Joey’s the kind of guy who gets it. Fun, quick, and even brought me lemon for my water without me asking. That’s the energy every restaurant needs. Five stars to Joey.”

“Very clean and inviting ambience. Food flavor is spot on. The savory and refreshing pho broth. The smokey grilled pork with broken rice. I'm a fan! Very reasonably priced. Wonderful customer service. Oh, and definitely try the Thai Tea and Vietnamese Coffee!!”

“I live in Arizona and walking my found this place. To sum it up I’m addicted to this ice cream. Every time we go to San Diego I have this ice cream 2 to 3 times a day.”

“Wonderful dishes prepared by a chef who truly cares about what is served. Staples are made with a sceumotious twist and creativity. I've been here twice and haven't been disappointed.”
