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 comewith 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 fanof 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 notnormally drink, was only able to take a few sips. Maybe it was too strong? Not sure. The catfish was good. The best part was theservice 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 servedwith. The chicken was excellent as well. The deboned thighs had an excellent breading and juicy meat. A couple dabs ofTabasco sauce helped balance the dish. Great gumbo! Although their was a bay leaf that needed fished out of our cup, I woulddefinitely get the gumbo again! The atmosphere had a wonderful Louisiana blues bar vibe

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 hourspecials like $5 wells and $1 off draft beers, with a nice big selection available. We shared the gumbo crossroads cupappetizers and a chicken waffles plate that came with fries. That gumbo is so rich flavorful, packed with shrimp sausageon a bed of rice. The crossroads cup is a bowl layered with smoked beans, mac cheese, pulled pork coleslaw pure comfortfood! 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 beback to.

Oooohh yea! My lord was it good! The dirty fries topped with brisket was off the chizle. I was in the mood for some good bbq and being an O'sider was embarrassed to not have been officially to this spot. I'll be back.
