Breakwater Brewing

I absolutely love Breakwater Brewing! It’s a little loud to actual eat in, but delivery is super fast and take-​out is easy. The food is heavenly! I never go without ordering the antipasto salad, and honey chipotle wings. They’re so yummy! The pizza is delicious and they don’t skimp on toppings. They can even deliver their beer in a growler to your door! How cool is that!?! Everyone that works here is so kind and polite, you can totally tell it’s a positive and fun work environment. They’ll have my business and loyalty forever. I take all my out-​of-​towners here, and every time they come back, they ask to come here again and again. It’s almost addictive.

Shrimp po’ boy sandwich so delicious. I recommend the potato salad at the side. They have a good selection of beers and a nice menu. We ordered a pizza also. All delicious. They played good rock tunes and had the ball game playing. Perfect.

Seriously amazing pizza, for the price — but IT IS A NIGHTMARE TRYING TO PLACE A PHONE ORDER WITH ANY OF THESE EMPLOYEES. Who is charge around here? We’ve placed numerous amounts of orders and EVERY time, it’s the same. It’s become an ongoing joke in our home. But the pizza is good enough to keep us calling back for more. I just really wish the manager/​owner would pay more attention to who is answering the phones to place orders… 5 star pizza — 1 star service!

This place is refreshing! Super laid back and the food/​drinks are really good!!! The amount and the quality that you get for your money is so awesome!!! Will definitely go back next time we are that way!!!

Traveling back from Redlands I found myself on the 5 south entering Oceanside. Stopped in for a «lunch special». Large (fresh) salid with all the good stuff you wouldn’t expect from killer deal combo. Especially if you consider this is a brewery pub 1^st, restaurant/​pizza place 2^nd. Then with the amazing salad you get a large slice of pizza. (And yes you can pick a topping). «Not a choose between 2 types deal». Add a full pint of a Breakwater Brewery beer & you have the lunch special. $ 11.00. :-) Also this is one of the few pizza places I know of that still uses fresh jalapenos & decent size shrimp. Not the questionable «bay shrimp». Do yourself a favor and order their «Kali Kush» ale. Very unique & tasty.

Beer was average, bearded guy is not the nicest bartender. Food is average. Service was slow at best, although it was reasonably priced.

Love it!!!
Pizza was great and and it wasn’t expensive at all, definitely sit outside in Oceanside… There is some good people watching there!!! LoL

LOVE, love this place!
Great beer, Great food!
Give it a try!

Really good.
A few of us came in for some pizzas and beers with our film mm crew. It was more that we excepted.
Awesome we were very happy with the food and service

I was gonna give this place 5 stars because their beer was on point but then one of the butt hole bartenders smashed my juke box selection by turning it off after I put money in. Look you’re a bartender and have to deal with this stuff. Don’t be a turd and cancel out my happiness.

Kali Kush — great front but has a light back without a lot of flavors.
Todos Santos Double IPA — I am so done with doubles. What is the point?
Biere du Jour — sour. Great change of pace.
Walk about Stout — great great great head.
Railslide Red — awful after the stout. No flavor.
Perfect Day — chick beer. Light. Airy. Sweetish. Bteathe out of your nose after a drink and the flavors are nice.
DMJ — an IPA. Whateve’s
Rasibiscus Mead — the bitch in me loves this. Bartles and James with 9.6 ABV. I feel Saray would love this one.
Bread sticks a good value. Marinara blows. I so want to like it here. Maybe I am being too critical? I feel like they focused on beer and food at same time.
Sharon/​Tyler served us well. No complaints at all.
Pork rib tips were meh
First Impression: 4
Décor: 3
Service: 4
Price: 5
Beer: 5
Overall: 21

If I could give a .5 star, Breakwater would get a 4.5.
Beer selection is 5 stars. Love love their in-​house beers (Walkabout Stout, DMJ), guest beers (bring back the Mission Brewery hefe, pleeeeeeeease!), and daily specials. Staff actually know their beers and help out a lot when we’re undecided on what to drink. Prices are very appropriate. Let’s just say this: out of all the large downtown Oceanside brew-​pubs, I’d much rather drink here than Masters or LTH.
Food is a solid 3.5 stars. We’re purists in that we mainly stick to the pizza. It’s not doughy Pizza Port deliciousness good, but it’s close. Weirdly enough, I judge pizza establishments on their house salads (think about it: how you serve something as simple as a house salad tells me about the rest of your menu, anyways)– and their house salad is the best. All of it is consistently good. Prices are fair.
Customer service at the bar, not gonna lie, sucked at first. This was maybe a 1 — 1.5 years ago. We persisted (perhaps because my male BFF likes to ogle at the ladies in short shorts, but I digress), sat at the bar a few more times, and now the customer service is quite good. No complaints! Vibe is laid-​back. You can tell, based off the many fun and interesting interactions with customers, that they have a very loyal customer base, so we’ll keep supporting them.

Everyone at breakwater serve nothing but quality! The pizza & beer are to die for !! Seriously the best in town! As soon as you walk in your intrigued with a warm welcomed feeling, the micro brewery has so many different flavors of beer to choose from my personal favorite is «a perfect day». Televisions everywhere awesome for a football Sunday! The music sets a rustic feel the lighting is just right. Special ups to Eduardo and Daniel !!! for always giving me great service & smiles. The bartenders are fantastic as well.

Beer is Top Notch, plenty of hop flavors that will make you want to stay here and ditch the rest of your plans.
Bartender was cool and ordered our pizza slice for us so we didn’t have to get up!
Pizza was delicious and had great flavor, It is better quality than pizza port with way better cheese.
I like my pizza slightly well done and it was perfect.
This place is small but definitely packs in quality, we went here to try a new place since we had already been to bagby, Super glad we did!

So i am born and rasied in oceanside and i am still warming up to oceanside having food places. But Breakwater pizza is good food good pizza. They have changed chef over time. But the pizza still adds good flavor and good dough. They have a prime location next to the movies and decent beers on tap. They seem to have people in here alot.
Roadway to Unilocal elite

Got kicked off the enclosed patio because they «don’t allow alcoholic beverages on the patio after 10:30pm.» Why… your guess is as good as mine. Fucking tell us before we buy beers and food and get all comfy out there! It might be cool if someone was nice about it, but no one was nice.
There’s a separate line for food and beer, which means you get charged twice. Bartender was a B. Not a welcoming homey place like most micro-​brews I know. Not impressed.

This is a solid 4.5 star so I’m going with 5 to offset ppl who don’t know what awesome is!
— family owned
— great staff
— amazing food. Pizza! Wings! Sandwiches! Omg
— military appreciation and hometown love
— excellent house brews and good guest beers too!
— again, pizza… my favorite: THE DAU!!! Wow. I’m not a huge fan of BBQ so I get it with pesto. 4 days later and I can’t stop thinking about it
— so many ppl are confused on how to order. I’m puzzled, so pardon my rant… Here’s a TIP: Order at the counter or the bar. Read the 3+ signs. Don’t whine. Every time we go the friendly staff is asking if we know the drill and how they can help.
I passed by this place once or twice cuz the lights seemed bright. You know what?! I was missing out. So glad my friend insisted. This place has so much good stuff that I’m running out of synonyms for good… Great. Awesome. Delicious. Tasty. On point.
I’ve been going regularly for about a year and let’s just say it’s legit in my book. It’s not fancy, it’s an honest, delicious, casual beer ‘n food spot with tons of local character. Much love to Breakwater!!!

Pizzas and beer! If you’re looking for a casual establishment serving up grub and grog, Breakwater will be right up your alley.
I’ve had pizza and the Caesar salad here. It’s nothing gourmet, but it doesn’t have to be if you’re coming to a casual bar and restaurant. You order and pay for food at the counter, and they bring it out to you.
They have a dog-​friendly outdoor patio!

Came in on a whim on a Saturday afternoon and was definitely not expecting such a long tap list! We sat at the bar and ordered 2 of the house sours, and the bartender even poured us a taster of the third, just so we could try it. Service was great!
Reincarnation was probably our favorite. Biere Du Jour followed behind, and lastly Barrel 5. While they’re categorized sours, they don’t have the kind of tart flavor that we really love, but they’re good starts.
The place reminds me of pizza port with their beer and food, but since we didn’t eat here, I can’t comment on that.
Overall, tap list was impressive and if I was ever in the area, Breakwater would be a good option for grabbing a cold one.

Hmmm…
What to say? What to say?
You order up front, and they give you a number to put at your table — like Panera Bread or Chik-​fil-​a, etc.
A review on the beer: Yes! It was good. They have cool deals. You can get pitchers for most beers, which my group of friends always appreciates — as we like to share and have variety. The beer was cold, although we wish the glasses were cold, too.
A review of service: Mediocre. It seemed a bit busy for a Sunday night, I guess, so the employees weren’t super friendly and outgoing. Busy. Busy. Busy?
A review of food: I like the wings. They had good spice. The jalapeño poppers were delicious, as well. The chicken strips were so dry, and the pizza? The thing they are known for… pizza? We didn’t really like it. Besides the dough and how it was cooked, we didn’t really care for it. The one we were most disappointed with was the Jerk Chicken. The taste just wasn’t there. The cinnamon sticks appetizers wasn’t that good either. I guess we expected something a bit crispier. These were not… (I prefer Pizza Hut’s cinnamon sticks better, and I don’t even like them that much. Sorry!)
Overall: Eh. If we came back, it’d just be for the beer.
