Felix's BBQ with Soul

Felix's BBQ with Soul serves barbecue and Southern soul food with a Cajun twist, blending smoked meats with gumbo, fried chicken and red beans. Regulars come for the baby back ribs, brisket, pulled pork sandwiches, fried chicken, seafood gumbo, shrimp po'boys and peach cobbler. Meals are served at lunch and dinner, and there is a weekday lunch box special for $12 that includes an entrée, a side and cornbread.

The Oceanside location on North Coast Highway is closed on Mondays and runs later on Friday and Saturday evenings. Takeout and delivery are both available, and ordering directly through the restaurant's website avoids third-party app fees. Catering covers weddings, parties and group orders, with buffets, combo platters and pans to go. The restaurant also has vegetarian options and easy parking, and it offers a rewards program for points and free items.
