Miss Kim's by That Boy Good

Epic! Summer of the best BBQ I've ever had! Super fresh, unique dishes, rivals NOLA Cajun food for sure. Gumbo is insane, fried chicken, waffles, catfish and ribs all amazing, including most unique bloody Mary in the world, spoiler, comes with ribs on top! Great fast service too. Expensive though and busy, touristy. I'll be back for sure!

Friendly .. comfortable environment. Food was so good! We tried the shrimp, fried catfish, a small gumbo, and crossroad brisket bowl, as well as the Bloody Mary with the rib and cucumber mule. Fire!!! Thanks to Jenifer for hospitality and good vibe. Enjoyed ourselves.

I love this place. Great cocktails. Amazing cornbread. Their pulled pork and ribs are tender and flavorful. I buy and keep both of their sauces in my house. The fried chicken thighs are crispy and well seasoned on the outside with a tender and juicy interior. If you get them with the waffles, they are very light and airy. Fries are good, but the Mac and cheese and mesquite beans are so well done. Shrimp appetizer has the same cornmeal crust with a dipping sauce. Catfish also gets the cornmeal crust. Back to the cornbread. It looks like it has been made in grannies cast iron. You don't need butter.

Finally tried Miss Kim's by That Boy Good, and we can see why this place has such great reviews. Located in downtown Oceanside off Mission right on Coast Hwy, they have a lot of the same menu as the original restaurant That Boy Good (haven't tried yet 🤭.) They're serving up bbq and cajun food, and we're loving their whole eclectic, divey vibe. They have daily happy hour specials like $5 wells and $1 off draft beers, with a nice big selection available. We shared the gumbo & crossroads cup appetizers and a chicken & waffles plate that came with fries. That gumbo is so rich & flavorful, packed with shrimp & sausage on a bed of rice. The crossroads cup is a bowl layered with smoked beans, mac & cheese, pulled pork & coleslaw- pure comfort food! We took the fries from the chicken plate and made our own dirty fries with some of the crossroads cup - TRY THIS 😍 The fried chicken was really good and nicely seasoned too, perfect with the yummy waffles. This is definitely a place we'll be back to.

Cool spot. GREAT food. The Shrimp and Sausage Gumbo was amazing. The Chicken Thighs and Waffles were fantastic. The Mesquite Beef Brisket was wonderful. My two choices for sides was collard greens and Mesquite Smoke Beans. It was our first time here, and we were blown away with the quality and flavor of their food.

We went on a Thursday night about an hour before they closed. The way our server treated us you wouldn't of known it. She was awesome. She consistently checked on our needs. The food and drinks were served quickly. The food was great. The Catfish was well seasoned and the ribs were very tender. Can't wait to go again when I am back home.

I’m not sure where to begin… I came with high hopes. Ordered, half slab plate; mac n cheese/fries/cornbread. Tried cucumber lime mule and catfish strips. Honestly, if I would just gotten a couple of appetizers, I would have been happy. The ribs do not come with any sauce, there is a spicy or mild on the table. There were jalapeños in the Mac n cheese and cornbread, I am not a fan of spicy foods. The ribs were ok but not great. But for $23 you get plenty. I should not have ordered a cocktail as I do not normally drink, was only able to take a few sips. Maybe it was too strong? Not sure. The catfish was good. The best part was the service to be honest. Great customer service. I would give them another try but try something else perhaps, chicken or Brisket?

Stopped by this place for some beers and ended up getting the ribs, chicken and gumbo. The ribs were perfectly cooked. A decent bite and great flavor. They didn’t need a sauce and paired well with the sweet cornbread that they were served with. The chicken was excellent as well. The deboned thighs had an excellent breading and juicy meat. A couple dabs of Tabasco sauce helped balance the dish. Great gumbo! Although their was a bay leaf that needed fished out of our cup, I would definitely get the gumbo again! The atmosphere had a wonderful Louisiana blues bar vibe
