About The Switchboard Restaurant & Bar

The Switchboard Restaurant & Bar is a charming spot located in downtown Oceanside, often surprising visitors with its quality despite being a hotel restaurant. Guests have praised the breakfast burritos and the Hawaiian BBQ plate for their lovely flavors. One reviewer specifically enjoyed the Loco Moco, describing it as filling, flavorful, and generously smothered in gravy, while the burger was also noted as satisfying.

The restaurant provides a pleasant atmosphere, especially during quiet weekday lunches, where attentive service is a highlight. Staff members are friendly and proactive, enhancing the dining experience. However, a recent Thanksgiving special disappointed some guests due to bland flavors, small portions, and underwhelming desserts, leading to a perception of low quality for the price. Despite the Thanksgiving meal shortcomings, the restaurant's overall service and some menu items continue to draw positive attention, making it a place worth visiting for a casual meal or a special occasion.
