Looking for some great feedback from the locals here in Oceanside, CA on where their favorite restaurants are and what they like about them.

I'm a transplant from Colorado, so help a Colonel out.

It depends on how far you want to travel. Menu fee and Temecula have some great chain restaurants like Red Robin and Texas Roadhouse. Another great one is BJ's in Carlsbad by the outlet mall. Then Franzetti's off Douglas and Mission and the 76 in Oceanside.

That Boy Good, downtown on Coast Highway - good southern food... NOT a chain
Cafe Elysa in Carlsbad - funky beach cafe - good basic breakfasts, sandwiches, etc

The lender would be the good in the equation. The VA is really only a co-signer of the loan. This would essentially eliminate Primary Mortgage Insurance from the cost of putting less than 20% down. The rates are usually pretty good as long as the service member has good credit.
