Best Brewery Eats in San Diego

"Brewer Jeff Bagby and his wife, Dande, own this sprawling complex that houses a brewery and full kitchen. Bagby’s last stint before striking out on his own was at Pizza Port, and he carries with him a long career brewing beer in San Diego county. The kitchen bills itself as full-scratch, making everything in-house except for bread and tortillas, which are sourced locally. The kitchen also features a plant-based section of their menu." - Jackie Bryant

I love this brewery! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their beers! I live in San Diego and often make the drive to Oceanside for this beer! Their Paloma seltzer is my partner's favorite and we buy cases at a time. Their pizza is delicious. You can judge a pizza based on their basic cheese and it is making my mouth water as I type this! Their ranch is absolutely delicious too! I love a place that has options or subs for vegetarians and they check that box too. If you love beer and good food, definitely make this a stop on your list.

Chill vibe, good food, great selection of beers, huge outdoor space. My husband and I each got food and a beer- I got the Baja fish tacos and my husband got the Buffalo chicken sandwich. The tacos were delicious- they came with chips and black beans and salsa. I wish they had a grilled option, but the battered fish was very good. They did have a spicy kick to them. My husband said the buffalo sandwich was good- good chicken but maybe a bit over sauced. We both got the Just One Thing… Citra hazy IPA and loved it. Plenty of outdoor space and room to hang.

We've come to Green Cheek at least a couple of times: once a few days ago and once during a "Sip Stop" at the Taste of Oceanside event held every year. We were impressed with the pretzel bites we had and on the second visit, we had a small flight of beers. Overall this is a nice addition to Oceanside. I am curious to see if they close the windows to the outside when it's cold. We ordered the Cheeky Style Fries and added jalapenos. This was so good! I would order it every time we come and it's big enough that it will fill up two bellies. But eat fast before the cheese gets cold. The beers were good, but I do wish they had more options. I love Belgians and some higher ABV options but sadly didn't have one that wasn't an IPA. Next time we'll try the white pizza!

First visit to Green Cheek since they took over Bagby. The Buffalo Chicken sandwich was very tasty, with strong, bold sauce. It's worth the extra cost for tots. The kids cheeseburger was well received too, though seems a bit overpriced. The rest of the menu is reasonably priced and there are several other items I would like to try in the future.

We met a group there for Tuesday happy hour. We sat in the front where it is open to the outside. There is a lot more seating inside and upstairs for large groups. Mixed reviews of the food. Overdone burgers were the big complaint, but most others enjoyed their meals. Kind of a short beer list but some good choices. Step up to the bar to order and collect food.

Located in the same spot Bagby used to be, Green cheek is now best place for beer in Oceanside! Awesome IPAs, good food, and a huge indoor/outdoor area with a second bar in the back. Can’t ask for much else!

We came for a private event and had a great time ! Tator tots weren’t greasy. Try the pretzel with ground mustard and cheese . Staff was very eager to help . The owner came by to make sure our expectations were met .

Had a craving for a burger so I got the double smash burger and accompanied it with the Lavy Lemonade seltzer and tater tots. There are different beer options for the varying pallets that come through here. Everything was very good and to our liking. The server with the cheeky padre inspired shirt was very thoughtful in helping us by thoroughly explaining the menu and the options. I love the open floor plan here. This time we sat facing the 101 as the breeze and fresh air was a bonus. We giggled at ourselves when figuring out how to lower our stools/seats so we could be at the perfect table top height. Looking forward to our next visit. Maybe to join in on a trivia night sometime.

I was so excited to see Green Cheek had a location about 20 minutes from where I was staying last week, and had to check it out. There is a small parking lot next to the brewery as well as street parking around where the brewery is . I had no trouble snagging a spot on a Friday afternoon. Surprisingly this location is larger than it appears and there is plenty of seating inside outside near windows, etc. As well as plenty of bar seating. I ordered at the bar and then found a seat by the open window area looking out on the street. I ordered four different taster sizes for a flight and the tater tots (not the loaded ones), with a side of cheese sauce for dipping them in. I'm a huge IPA fan and all of the beers that I ordered were delicious . The tater tots were perfectly crispy and VERY generously sized. They also have takeout boxes next to the bar so if you don't finish your food, you can easily bring it home which is what I did. They also have four packs available in the fridge to go but fairly limited selections compared to the menu of beers they have on tap. I did pick up a four pack to go of a very tasty IPA. Looking forward to visiting again when I'm in the area and checking out more of the menu!

Got to check out this place with one of my colleagues. I have been here when it was Bagbys. I like that they have a private parking lot in the back for customers. They have a descent selection of beer and a few non-alcoholic items. My daughter enjoyed martinellis apple juice. We also enjoyed some French fries. I noticed they had 2 vegan items on the menu, one being a burger. I didn't get to try it this time around as we had just eaten but maybe next time. I liked that Bagby's had a lot more vegan items including some for kids. Oh well! You order and pay at the register and sit down until your buzzer goes off to pick up your food. Not much has changed in terms of seating. And it still seems to be popular for people with large groups. I would come back to have a drink and try the vegan items. It seems like a good place to hang out with friends.

The street parking here can be hit or miss, but the restaurant itself is a great place to meet with friends. It's an order-at-the-counter and open seating kind of place with a lot of varied (mostly outdoor) seating options. Dog friendly! Lots of great beer options and decent food- although the portion sizes are so-so. Food, including salad, is just served directly on metal trays. It was quite busy when we went on a Wednesday evening, so it seems they're doing decently well. Their computer system went down for a bit, which caused a front counter backup and (possibly) a food delay. Although from other reviews, I think the food might just take a while to come out.

One of my favorite breweries to go to in North County! The brewery here is pretty big and spacious with some indoor seating and lot of outdoor seating. They do some events (like Trivia Night, etc.) so it can get sometimes slightly crowded during the night but it's never super packed, which is nice so you have a great time chilling herem They definitely got some good beer drinks here including their seltzers and other drinks. They also got some cocktails and wine selections as well so there are lots of options to choose from. They also got some real good food that are really fresh (like nice and hot straight from the oven) so it's nice to come here to have it with some drinks. They've also got a lot of cans that you can purchase to take with you home along with merch! The people here are also very friendly and patient so it makes even more worth to visit here! Definitely check out this place if you're in the area and want to have a great time with good drinks and food!

My favorite Orange County based brewery has made its way down to Oceanside, and I'm here for it. If you're a fan of NEIPAs, colloquially known as Hazy IPA's, this is right up your alley. They make pretty solid West Coast IPA's too though, so they have a little bit of everything for everyone. As for the food, I can only speak on the pizza & fries. They're both pretty solid as far brewery food. What really sets this location apart from other breweries is the sheer size and ample open space, especially the outdoor towards the back. The atmosphere is pretty friendly, as most of the times I've been here, there are people with their kids, including myself. Customer service is above average, especially when compared to other breweries I've been to. Kudos to management for hiring friendly beertenders!

Considering Green Cheek's Oceanside outpost has become 1 of my fave craft beer spots in all of SD County, I'd say a glowing review is long overdue. While Green Cheek's origins are in OC, they've proven to be the best possible successor to take over this craft beer institution that was once Bagby Beer Company. The venue itself is as good as it gets for around here. Multiple bars with multiple spacious indoor & outdoor service areas ensure there's a place to suit anyone's taste. Speaking of taste, there's a full kitchen. & while I haven't yet partaken, what I've seen come out of that kitchen looks delectable. The whole place is dog friendly. Oh, & they have their own parking lot. Yeah, for real. But, truly, the primary reason for coming to a brewery is the beer. For that, Green Cheek is top tier. Their focus here is more toward lagers, IPA's, & hazies. Their execution of these styles is consistently exceptional. Everything on tap I've ever tried has been great. Service has been top of things & friendly. If & when you're coastal NCSD in the mood for a beer, this is the best option

I came out with a group of girls for a bday brewery crawl and this was our first stop. Firstly, this is a huge brewery, tons of seating and several bar tops. Our group got a nice sunny table on the roof which was perfect. The Guava in Berlin was definitely my jam. I wish I had gotten the beer tenders name because he was great. We enjoyed a couple drinks and moved on to the next spot but thanks for a great time Green Cheek.

Staff was super friendly. Love how spacious this place is, you could easily come with a big group. Also love how close it is to Communal, could come here for dinner after a good coworking session. I ordered the cobb salad which looked way too big but I ended up eating all of it. I would definitely come back to try their burgers and sandwiches!

Absolutely loved this place! It was mine and my family's first time in Oceanside and we came to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday. This place is HUGE. Plenty of seating indoors, outdoors and around the side too. There are two bars, one inside and one outside. You can order food and drinks from both and seat yourself. We all sat outside and ordered a couple flights. The beers were so good! Highly recommended trying the double IPA's. We also ordered some small bites. The tater tots, pretzel and burger were all good! Definitely coming back again whenever I'm in the area!

How did I not know about this place??? Omg can't wait to come back- I think I dreamed about their burgers!!! Great vibes- lots of seating- the lavender lemonade was amazing and so was the Paloma! We tried several menu items for dinner and all were good! Can't wait to come back in summer too for some fun times

Giving a 5 based on service and ambiance! So much seating and open air space. Great prices on drinks - old fashion was delicious. 4/5 on the buffalo chicken sandwich .... Chicken was super small and not a ton of flavor but the sauce makes up for it. The seasoning on the fries was excellent. The burger gets a 5/5!

Everything we love about Green Cheek in Costa Mesa but in a bigger location with a bigger food menu. Extra plus is that they have their own parking lot across the street. There was already a line when they opened. Easy to order food and drinks in one line. It can get long but as long as you know what you want, it should go quick. You get a buzzer for your food to pick up on the side of the bar where you order. Dog friendly space everywhere. There's so many options to sit inside or outside and on the roof. Rooftop is small though. There is another bar outside but that was closed when we came so unsure what that bar serves. There was a tv outside that was off. Curious if they'll play a few games on it. Get a flight and their cheeky tots which is our go to. Beat the heat with their lavender seltzer if you're feeling a beer.

Beer and cocktails are immaculate! Have eaten here a couple times and food was great too, I recommend the smash burger. Staff is super knowledgeable and very welcoming. Shouts out to Casey, Layton, Andrew and Chloe! They have been a great addition to the beer scene on the coast.

We are huge fans of Green Cheek's beer and all their locations, so yesterday we drove down to Oceanside to check out their newest place. Loved it! What a gorgeous setup they have here, this place is massive! Tons of seating indoors and outdoors, multiple bars to order from. They have cocktails too, which is awesome! The food menu is similar to their other locations, but this one has pizza, yum! My husband had a pepperoni pizza, I went with a Cajun Chicken Sandwich, and we each had a beer. Food was ready pretty quickly, even though they were incredibly busy. My chicken sandwich was super tasty, the fries with it were delish. His pizza was GREAT, awesome sauce and crust. It was also very large for one person, he brought a bunch home and ate it today. This is by far my favorite location of theirs, I wish it wasn't so far from my house. Definitely check it out! They have a huge parking lot so there was no issue with finding a spot.

This place was great! I loved all of the different, open seating options, fun patio seating areas and game area. There are a few different bars to order food and beers from and one that just does cocktails. The lines would get longer at times, but they moved through them pretty quickly. We ordered a full variety of different bees and food items and really enjoyed them all! They don't have a huge food menu, but there's a little something for everyone and we ordered it all and we're not dissapointed. The beers were all so dang good too! We ordered blondes, hazys, IPAs - all of them, and they were all so good. Plus, the "bartenders choice" drink I ordered from the cocktail bar was, literally, perfection! She was a great mixologist who took her time to make a great drink, and I really appreciated it. Overall, great spot and can't wait to come back!

I know that this used to be bagby beer and I'm SO glad it is now green cheek brewery!! I've only been here once so far and we sat on the rooftop area. Enjoyed some nice, cold and yummy beers as well as some food. The food was good as well! You order your food and beer downstairs at the bar so the service was good from that standpoint. I will definitely be back to try some other beers and food!

We've got a Green Cheek near where we live, so we were stoked to stumble across this location on a recent getaway to Oceanside. Great beer selection, of course! And I'm going to stay that the pretzel here is in my top 3 favorite pub/brewery pretzels. Delicious!

So the hubs and I decided that we wanted to try this new restaurant. It's basically Bagby Beer under new management. It's a chill vibe to the extent that it feels like Macs with beer. There are lots of tables to sit. But due to the rain, the tables are also limited. They opened the place up. But did not run all heaters. It felt very cold today. Also, today, there were a few families with children running around. It definitely enhanced my feeling like this was Macs in disguise. You have to queue for your food. And there is only one POS at the front for order of the beer. One at the back, which is like a station with a mixologist - it has a full bar back there in the patio area. There, they serve limited beer. Apparently, there are usually 3 bars scattered around. But due to rain, the one in the patio was closed. You have to order in front and queue to order. They don't take ur orders at the tables. And they also don't deliver the food to u like Bagby did. After you order, they give you a little buzzer that vibrates once your food is ready. For starters, I ordered a Baja fish burrito with a 10 oz glass of beer- sandcastles in oceanside. The beer had an alcoholic content of 4.2%. It was quite the perfect pour and was light, and it had a full head. My husband ordered pepperoni pizza with extra pepperoni and a 16 oz beer- modern traditions. They pour the beers for you, and then you get the buzzer to bring back to the table of your choosing. Once the buzzer buzzes, you have to make your way back to the front of the facility and get your food. Cutlery, napkins, and sauces are all available at the front. Also, even though it was like a fast food restaurant, it took the food very long to come. It felt like 30 min just waiting for the buzzer to ring. That said, let's get to the food. I'm going to say that I'm comparing it with the fish burrito i had at Bagby's before it closed. I had a great impression of the one before. This one- not as good as the one I had before. The fish in the Baja burrito was fresh but the batter itself felt like it was falling off. And it wasn't crispy. Also, instead of a piece of fish, it felt like fish nuggets throughout the burrito. I felt like I was getting odds and ends. I would prefer a single piece of fish in my fish burrito. Also, even though the fish was fresh, it felt like the fish was not marinated except for the batter. It tasted a little bland. The salsa was not as good as the one I had before. It tasted like ketchup with a bit of hot sauce in it. I have to say the chips are still pretty good. My hubby's pizza was pretty good and slightly burnt. We then tried the bar at the back. My hubby ordered a cadillac margarita and I ordered a vespa. I didn't like my vespa. It was very strong. It's a martini with a lemon peel. I didn't even finish it. With just half of the martini, I was buzzed. My hubby's cadillac margarita was not bad. One other point to note: There were tables that were no cleared after people left. That would affect their ability to serve more people Bottom line: Food is not bad. But with prices like this- I can actually go to another pub/ restaurant and get served without having to feel like I went to a fast food restaurant and having to wait 30 min for my food which I have to go collect and precariously balance and bring back to my table. Not too sure we will be back for a while Hopefully, they will change the system where you have to collect your own food. And also improve a little on the food.

This is the second time we have tried Green Cheek and we sure are glad we came back! To be honest we were a little hesitant to try this place out at all. We had a terrible experience with Bagby, and have been avoiding this place since then. However, we thought ok lets finally try it. The first time we came the food was good, drinks were good but the vibes were "eh". Tonight, totally different story even with it being cold out. The food was amazing. The smash burgers were delicious-- there wasn't a bite left on our plates. The pretzel is pretty standard and delicious too. But what we really noticed this time was the vibes! They were playing dance edm music throughout the whole place and the energy was great. Lots of people dancing around when walking to their tables, and my daughter especially loved the music. It just made the whole atmosphere a lot of fun! We also discovered the great amount of seating options this time! We found the side patio and really enjoyed the heaters and that we could order food and drink outside. Came for the beer, stayed for the vibes. Can't wait to come back later!

Happy to be at Green Cheek Beer in Oceanside. Long time fans of the original City of Orange location! Enjoy the beers and now they serve food. Soft opening started Friday 3/1/24 where beers are awesome but just be patient while they work on inefficiencies and kinks! Service at the bar but other than that you pick up your own food when the buzzer hits. No problem, beers are awesome! Have another while you wait for the food. Ambiance is nice and dogs are allowed. Whooo! When it rains, seating is limited. Looking forward to our frequent visits. We're Happy to be here!

Great food and a nice vibe. It's a quieter more chill brewery. The beer is good but to be honest I'm not the biggest beer drinker -- but I really like their lavendar lemonade seltzer. My friends that like beer came from out of town and asked we stopped here and they liked the beer. The staff is friendly!

Disclaimer: This is a brewery, beer first, food second, and food is offered...Therefore you wait in line to order at the bar, as breweries do. Of course this place is packed, its opening week and its green cheek. They dont seem to have a ton of staff, they just opened and again, it was packed, however every person I came across was polite and attentive. We, along with other guests took over a private dining area upstairs (that I dont even think was open to the public) to escape the rain and the staff was quick to accommodate us (thank you). Needless to repeat, this is a brewery therefore you should not expect full service at tables. We ordered a variety of food, pizza, fries, burger, cheeky tots, all were delicious. Did I come here for the food? No. Was it the best food Ive had? No. Was it better than the average bar and majority of other brewery options? 100%. I come to a brewery in hopes to eat somethinggg and was very pleased with their menu options and look forward to trying more as I know we'll be back. Kids ? Pet children ? Its perfect for kids and dogs, they have changing tables in the restrooms (which im always in shock with how few restaurants have these) and a nice patio area with room to play.

I have been to Green Cheek many times. I love the mulit seating areas, specially the outdoor section.. Great to grab a Hazy IPA and relax. I honestly think they have some of the best Hazys in San Deigo. I went this past Monday around 230pm. Super quiet and not many customers. If I was only rating the beer, it would be a 5. My issue is the staff. We waited 10 min to be served. No 1 in site. Stood at the bar forever and a day. The lady comes back and says oh sorry!!. We order 2 beers. The Brian, which was awesome and another Hazy. She mumbles something and takes off. Looks like they are out of 1 of the Hazy. OK, well communicate this, No biggy, I'll order a different one. Already waited long enough. Comes back and say we are out..no worries on my end. Customer service non existent. No, hey thanks for waiting, let me see if I have the beer, nothing!! The problem is this isn't the 1st time we've stood, waited, ignored while peep are on their cell phones or employees completely missing in action. U stand, u wait, u look around..crickets!! I always feel like it's a bother for them to help anyone. Unfortunately, it's every time we go...

Checked this place out for lunch and some drinks today. The food was excellent, best fish tacos I've had in a good while. Had some spicy mayo on the tacos that was very tasty, as was everything else. Service is just walk up and order and they were super cool. The selection of drinks were all excellent. The place is quite large and would be a good time any time of day. 5 stars

Love having Green Cheek much closer than it's Orange County locations. Went yesterday and had a great time. Service was decent, really dependent on whom you had taking your order or grabbing your drink but I'd say ranged from average to great. Beer quality is as high as it can get, food was pretty tasty and they did such a good job with the artwork around the facility. Grabbed some beer to go as well with the fridges fully stocked, but need to get back asap to try some more draft choices

Nice venue with multiple different spaces good for groups. The beer is always good, they offer different beers brewed among a few locations. This location is not what it once was (under a different name), but the beer is still good. The bartenders are friendly and do a good job of helping you find the right one.

They took over the old Bagby space which is quite large with a couple of bars and plenty of outside seating. Green Cheek brews excellent beer and the wo that I tried were wonderful. The Vuh-dnt IPA collab was good enough that I brought home a 4 pack. I wish there was better parking in the area.

This corner brewery is massive and full service. It's a very self-serve kind of place. The beverage menu is plentiful and even includes a couple of cocktails, unlike most breweries. The food menu is comforting. I went with their Margarita which was absolutely lovely to look at and drink. After a couple of those we ordered the animal-style tater tots and ... yeeeessss! I don't recall when I had tater tots prior but these were smothered in cheese and caramelized onions and just full of deliciousness. Thank you.

We had our department Christmas party here and I cannot say enough great things about green cheek. Elaine has been nothing short of amazing and professional while making sure our event went smoothly. We rented out the entire upstairs and it was the perfect size for our event that had 100 people. The service was incredible and the food was delicious. Having a full bar option in addition to their awesome beers was great. We got the taco bar with wings and pretzels which were all delicious. We had our party last week and people are still talking about the fantastic time they had. We look forward to having future events at green cheek as well as enjoying their delicious beers and food. Side note - if you haven't had their smash burger, get it, it's one of the best I've had (better than tanners!) Elaine, you are the absolute best, I am so thankful for all your hard work to make our event happen, it does not happen or be as great as it was without you!

Came here on a work beer tour and it was really fun, they had lots of choices, I don't think it's possible to go in and not find something you like. It's very obviously a popular place even on a Thursday afternoon, (during our work hours) there was a pretty steady flow of people. Shows they are well liked for sure. I would for sure come back here. Ther service was great, the drinks were good, bathrooms were clean, inside and outside seating, and fun decor, everything you need for a good experience.

The brewery did well with using the space, similar layout to Bagby. I am a fan of the whimsical, bird theme throughout. Server was kind, and quickly served us our beer. He was also easy to talk to and shared Bagby is till brewed on site. Food was good, my burger could have used more seasoning but not bad. I also liked they had an option of ordering and paying from your phone.

Love Sour Beer! Green Cheek Always has a Wonderful Sour on Tap! Guava Berlin is Outstanding! The Food is Good, Love their Smash Burger! Ambience is Nice! But the Dirt Has To Go!!! Unhealthy!

This place has been taken over by new owners and changed the business including the name. Previously it was Bagby brewing and we visited once and had good food and a good drink. Today, I felt like I was in a McDonalds that served alcohol. You stand in line and order all food and drink at the bar. Your handed a Pager and try to find a clean table. The only 3 things I saw front end staff doing was taking orders, making drinks and picking up empty cups. I never saw anyone clean a table after a guest leaves and you have to go collect your food. As for the food. It was ok. Pizza was a little burnt. (See photo) and my wife said her Baja burrito tasted like it had odds and ends of fish instead of a nice piece of fish. The beer was ok. She had the sand castle and I had a German weizen. After lunch we ordered a second drink from the back bar. A Vespa a gin martini off the menu and I asked for a margarita. The bar tender who claimed to have been making drinks for 5 years had to check a recipe. My marg was ok. But my wife's martini was really off and quite strong. She couldn't finish it. The last comment I'll make is the children. They are allowed to run around the dining area like it's a playground. I won't be rushing back. For the prices we paid. Service would be nice.

Food and drinks were enjoyable. Good for large families. Be sure to reserve shade tables if that's what you want for groups with 11 or more.

In a land with seemingly endless breweries, San Diego County is blessed to now have Green Cheek added to the list. Green Cheek brews up some of the best hazy and West Coast IPAs around. Their hazies are soft, juicy, and creamy. The West Coast varieties are well balanced, clean, crisp, and hoppy. I love mostly all of their beers. The beertenders were very friendly despite dealing with the opening weekend rush. Can't wait to try the food on my next visit back to Oceanside.

I tried GCB for the first time yesterday. I was a regular at the location for years when it was Bagby's, so I want to give this location a chance. Here are my initial thoughts: The ordering system needs some work. Long line for an early Sunday afternoon. Could use more POS locations and more staff. The beer is good and so is the pretzel! Still a beautiful location. I'll try them again soon to work on a review update.

Have you stand in line to get a beer every time because heaven forbid someone walks around to provide some hospitality service.
