A'a & Pahoehoe. In honor of the two forms of lava, we have our take on the legendary fish n chips. A'a: sharp and rough lava, just like our spicy togarashi fries... Pahoehoe: smooth, billowy crust, just like our golden battered halibut Pairs well with any of our local beers. @breakwaterbrew @rouleurbrewing @boozebros Mahalo

We don't have tacos...so on Tuesdays we want to give back the love Oceanside has provided us. Kama'aina (people of the land) Discount is provided to Oceanside residents all day on Tuesdays. From our ohana to yours we can't begin to tell you how blessed we are being a part of Oceanside.

"Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that willlead others to join you." Aloha Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Your life's work is so admired.

Sneak peak at what we're doing next door. Follow the progress and our mission at @north.county.roastery We tagged a few teasers. Cheers!

PLEASE READ BELOW The Switchboard Family is partnering up with The Nowell Family to truly build something inspirational. In 1996 we lost a great one in Sublime's front man, Bradley Nowell. Since then, the @nowellfamily has dedicated themselves to provide addiction recovery services to the music community.... The mission is to build Bradley's House, a six-bed recovery facility that will provide treatment for people in the music industry with opiate addiction, regardless of their financial situation. At The Switchboard, we're seeing if you're willing to forgo your $2 Happy Hour discount, or donate in $2 increments. You can also order "The House That Bradley Built" through @law_records, a compilation of Sublime songs covered by over 20 amazing bands. Mahalo, The Switchboard Family

NEVER FORGOTTEN. I was a young Sergeant in the Marine Corps living in Oceanside on this tragic day and found myself joining the fire service 4 years later. RIP to the 343 firefighters, 60 police officers, and thousands of civilians lost.... Even though this has been such a wild year for so many of us, hopefully we can all reflect on this day when our country was united and filled with love for one another, regardless. We're all one big Ohana.

As the new kid on the block during these peculiar times, we've been blessed to have received the support of the other Oceanside restaurants and businesses. Mahalo for the support from those tagged and others not mentioned. Forever grateful and so honored to be a part of this O'side Ohana. Thank you
