"Slinging a selection of traditional barbecue dishes that evoke the platters served at the award-winning original Heritage Barbecue in San Juan Capistrano, Heritage’s Oceanside outpost offers an element of surprise: a secret cocktail speakeasy. Try its acclaimed brisket, pulled pork, and sandwiches — the Famous Smoked Burger with a half-pound smoked prime beef brisket patty, American cheese, and a special house sauce is a best seller. On Wednesdays, trivia night runs from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and on taco Tuesday $5 draft Mexican lagers and brisket quesadillas with shredded cheese and a cilantro lime crema are on offer." - Paolo Bicchieri
