After reading reviews we had to try and we were not disappointed. We initially had the brisket and tri tip and sides of mac and cheese , BBQ beans and potato salad. First off the BBQ sauce was exactly as it should taste sweet smoky with a little something left on tounge Perfect profile!. Meats were smoked to perfection and moist as it should be not dry. I would not hesitate to go back and plan on returning soon to try remainder of menu I actually ordered a sausage sandwich to go. Encourage you to try instead of some of the big box BBQ restaurants out there that struggle to make food to scale and lack consistency.

We’ve been on the lookout for a good BBQ spot and were excited to discover this place. It’s a small, cozy spot with a large communal table and stools for dining in, or you can easily order takeout. The owners are a friendly, welcoming couple.
We tried the tri-tip sandwich special with sides. The thinly sliced meat was tender, perfectly smoked, and paired well with their flavorful BBQ sauce on a soft roll. The beans were hearty with just a touch of spice. They also offer other cuts of tri-tip, including sliced roast options if you call ahead to order.
We’re already planning a return visit to try more of what they offer.

I am a caretaker for an older woman, and she loves good BBQ. However, she is extremely picky, and up until yesterday, we could not find a good BBQ place near her house, going at least 0 for 3.
I looked up BBQ places yesterday, and found this little BBQ joint less than 5 minutes from her house. For less than $20, we split a combo meal with 2 sides.
The tri-tip was the highlight for sure! It was cut super thin, which is good for her since her dentures do not allow her to chew on thick pieces of meat. The flavor was, for me at least, perfecto!
As their primary business is catering, this particular restaurant is only open for takeout on Friday and Saturday, so plan accordingly!!!

Stopped by for the first time and got food for the super bowl and let me tell you, this bbq is on point! pulled pork tender, ribs meaty, potato salad just the way I like it with a little extra zing, Mac and cheese, not over complicated, bbq beans perfection! And that damn cornbread, I can’t get it out of my mind so so good.

This family-owned restaurant exceeded our expectations. For just $7, we enjoyed two tri-tip sandwiches, a side each, and complimentary baked beans from the owner. We shall be back!

The food was absolutely delicious. The ribs, tri-tip, and pulled pork were perfectly seasoned and cooked so well — tender and full of flavor. The sides, especially the mac and cheese and cornbread, were wonderful and complemented everything perfectly. Thank you so much for providing such great food for our wedding day.

Five stars all the way. Izzy’s Smoked BBQ absolutely crushed it. Great service, big portions, and everything tasted incredible. You can tell they care about their food and their customers. This is MY NEW GO-TO BBQ spot in Oceanside. Highly recommend! You won’t find better BBQ in Oceanside.

We have had BBQ at several places in Oceanside and Izzy’s beats them all! They provided dinner for 12 of us and there was not a bite left! We had tri tip, pulled pork and ribs and all were outstanding. You have to try it!

Great food! We’ve had the ribs & all the sides. The chocolate flan was also great. Owners are super nice. Portions are a good size, the price is right!
Go try it & you’ll be happy you did!

Meat was super fatty and tough. There was very little seasoning which is why they probably add so much bbq sauce. Mac and cheese was super thick and pasta was overcooked. Not worth the money.
