Our Favorite Places to Eat in Oceanside with a Baby
Our daughter, Margot, has been a Shoots restaurant patron since she was 8 days old. I remember our first trip, standing in line to order food while Kevin was on the back dining patio with her. He called me because she started crying and she sounded so loud. By the time I got back there, he was walking around with the carseat (we still hadn’t graduated to actually using the stroller yet), and she was still crying, but I couldn’t hear her at all. We realized it was the perfect atmosphere to dine with a baby.
That outing helped build our confidence and we realized that you just have to do it. Since Shoots, we’ve found our sweet spot is anywhere loud with an order counter, or just loud in general.
Here are a few of our favorite spots to go:
Shoots Fish and Beer x Bottlecraft - Order counter, patio seating, and lively communal atmosphere with seafood forward street food and rotating specials (we love the poke nachos).
602 S Tremont St Unit 101, Oceanside, CA 92054
HomeState - Order counter, patio seating, and quick food service serving affordable and delicious Tex Mex. Don’t miss the cookie milk coffee.
510 Vista Way Suite 100, Oceanside, CA 92054
Corner Pizza - Order counter and patio seating with some of our favorite pizza flavor profiles.
1940 S Freeman St, Oceanside, CA 92054
Craft Coast Beer & Tacos - Order counter with an indoor/outdoor feel serving tacos, mulitas, and nachos.
275 Mission Ave, Oceanside, CA 92054
Anita’s Mexican Restaurant & Cantina - Sit down restaurant that’s usually busy, converted from an old garage so the acoustics are loud. Our favorite place for traditional Mexican food.
1714 S Coast Hwy, Oceanside, CA 92054
Hangar 76 - Carruth Winery and Tipping Pint Brewing in an industrial building with large outdoor yard and rotating food vendors — our favorite is Fiish!
