Felix's BBQ with Soul

OK, so Felix is a BBQ hits the comfort food craving that I have every once in a while. Every single thing we ordered was solid, even my son's kids cheeseburger disappeared immediately, and he is superduper picky. I will say the brisket I ordered was a little dry, but the collard greens were unreal.. hands-down, the best I've ever had. Perfectly seasoned and absolutely full of smoky flavor, additionally my partners catfish nuggets were crispy outside juicy on the inside and the mac & cheese was very well done and full of flavor. Just a tiny little knock for the brisket, but I'll be back and I think I'll be able to redeem themselves. Good service, friendly servers, and delicious food.

Rich and tasty BBQ served with friendly charm. Steady flow of locals greeted on a first name basis. Nice menu selections with plenty of variety. Aiming to return for additional samples. Super easy parking.

My dining experience was pretty bad, which is disappointing. I usually order take-out from this place and decided to come and sit down this time hoping that it would be a better experience, as the store frequently forgets or gets online order deliveries incorrect. The food always tastes great and the meat is cooked perfectly. It is never soggy but still has that amazing pull away from the bone mouth bites that you pray your BBQ is going to have, not dry at all and super juicy. The flavors are always there but unfortunately our food was cold when we got it. I don't know if that was on the waiter but it was extremely deflating to me and the company I was with. There isn't a bigger sin a restaurant can commit then obviously microwave reheated cold ribs and sides. For the price of the food, I was very tempted to dock the rating all the way to a single star. Service was fine. The waiter sort of had to be flagged down to make sure that we were getting what we needed despite the store being very empty, and at one point our server went on lunch break or something and we weren't seen again by anyone until they came back. Very odd. The atmosphere was nice, just average. Was cozy but very empty. It seemed like it would be a great place to try on Game Day when everything is busy and the service is faster, but I'm not actually sure I will be ordering from here again. If I do try this location again, it will not be for some time.

Place is pretty gross, first time there took 20 min for someone to ask if we needed anything to drink. Food took more than 30 min. It was 5 of us and no one even asked if we had been helped yet or anything. NEVER again!!! And food was cold when it came out. This lady on this picture was the only one working the bar and the whole place. She was awesome and deserves a raise.Manager should realize how hard this woman works. Get her some help and clean the place.

Felix’s BBQ in Oceanside is a hidden gem! The meats were perfectly cooked—tender, juicy, and packed with smoky flavor. You can really taste the care they put into everything. The seasoning was spot on, and every bite had that rich, authentic BBQ taste. Great portions, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely one of the best BBQ spots I’ve tried in Southern California. Highly recommended!

First time finding this hidden gem. Customer service was amazing, friendly and helpful staff. super clean, beautiful out door seating. I ordered catfish dinner, chicken tenders, chicken dinner(dark) and a slice of sweet potato pie... With tip was $85. Was well seasoned, flavorful, my kiddos loved the tenders and fish nuggets as well as the sides. Would go again. 4 out of 5 stars pricing was a factor.

I got the fried green tomatoes which were really good. That gumbo though was delicious! Highly recommend this. I absolutely will return the next time I'm in town.
