I had the roast beef Cafe. Delicious. Very tender beef, flavorful au jus and those onion rings are to die for. This is what I had leftover and I was stuffed. I’m in the area for work and what a great neighborhood gem.

Stopped in last night for dinner for the first time and we were pleasantly surprised. It's a comfortable little place with great drinks and Laura our waitress was friendly and very personable. We felt right at home. She recommended a few popular items on the menu such as the chicken and steak tidbits and wings. We will get them next time for sure because we are definitely coming back. We ordered the chicken parmesan hero and the chicken BLT and they were both delicious. All covid-19 protocols were in place as well.

LOVE THIS RESTAURANT/BAR. They have the best fried pickles. Their steak tidbits never disappoint. They have amazing wings. And when I am watching my weight I LOVE their salads. They pour a great drink which is always a plus. The staff is super nice both in the restaurant and the bar.

The staff are warm and friendly. The food is delicious! I had the marinated steak, garlic mashed potatoes and assorted steamed mixed vegetables and my husband the pro burger with onion rings and French fries. Everything was piping hot, cooked perfectly and delicious!

Great neighborhood place for breakfast or lunch. I was impressed by how nice the young staff was. The food is good and I never felt rushed.

Always enjoyed their food but this time something was different. Why did you change the calamari? No go back to the original version. Where’s the tentacles?Something different with the wings also. Go back to the original recipe. Don’t twice fry. I still enjoy the tidbits!

We were there to have dinner and watch a band. Service was excellent. The food was a little above average. Fish and chips had too much batter. When I peeled it away the fish alone was good. I think it was frozen before being fried. Chicken wings were BIG and the BBQ sauce was tasty. Onion rings looked and tasted homemade. I just wish they were a little more generous with them. My friends enjoyed the shrimp parmesan with penne and the steak tidbits. The atmosphere was very friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed the band.

I have lived in Oceanside my entire life and I have never been to J Paul's but have always heard really good things about it. I'm happy to say that I agree. The atmosphere was very pub like with a separate entrance to the bar. The booths were roomy and the area was open. I could see four televisions all airing a different channel. I ordered the roast beef Cafe (I think)which is really a French dip and it was excellent. I ordered it rare and it came rare. That almost never happens. My husband ordered steak tidbits which were good I wasn't a fan of the bbq sauce. The table came with freshly fried potato chips which I think we're Idahoes. We got the spinach artichoke dip which could have been more flavorful but was not salty and I appreciated that. There was lots of spinach and artichoke in it as well so it was thick not at all thin. It came with chips that couldn't handle the thickness of the dip itself. I tried them with the potato chips and they were good. We also got an order of 10 jumbo hot wings. They were excellent as was the blue cheese dip. Our server was very attentive and I'm sorry that I did not get his name. We enjoyed ourselves at lunch and will return in the future.

Menu is what you expect out of a bar/restaurant. Second time eating here and food was good both times. Service is friendly and attentive. Local, quick, timeless destination for standard fare/drink.

Great bar food. Good service. Good place to drink 🍷 & watch sports. They have a bar on the right side of the entrance and on the left side is sit down dining. There’s even a large room in the back if you want a large group or small/medium gathering. I love the onion rings, they are amazing! (hand dipped). Chicken wings are meaty and no xtra charge to split the flavors in one order. I really come here just for the onion rings and wings, but the burgers and other stuff is good too. Portions are very good and they have specials throughout the week. Look for coupons in local flyers and specials, but some coupons require cash payment (15% off order). Parking lot available with handicap parking and accessibility.
