“I am not sure why this place received low reviews, but that must have been based on old management and past experiences because today the service was very welcoming, service with a smile.The food was also the best. I was just thinking to myself as I ate my Famous Star how much more real this means was than Mc...Anyway great food and great service!!!“
“I don't generally go to fast food places instead of a nice restaurant but really enjoy the varied menu here and good quality food. Reasonable prices too. Service can be a bit slow at peak times but they have recently switched to ordering at the kiosk and then waiting till food prepared. Once this system has been in place for a while, sure it will get faster. Automation is happening at all fast food places - inevitable since hourly wages have gone up.“
“As a local in & out loyalist, I regret to announce that my head has officially been turned with our new neighbors north, Crispy Burger. I say “new” because it’s new to me, as I was reluctant to try this truckstop-esq spot. But boy, do I tell you, if you’re a fan of smashburgers, look no further. The burgers, fries and milkshakes are divine. Combine this with great prices, exceptipnal service, and the delight of great ranch (this truly matters), it's a sure recipe for weekly cravings. Im so happy I live a stones throw away. Overlook the highway pit stop and do yourself a favor trying crispy burger ASAP.“
“Service is excellent! Food is great. And affordable. We got some burgers and fries and they came with a drink at a very reasonable price. The person who took our order was pleasant and offered options to get our order sooner if we decided to order take out again. We will be back!“
“Husband ordered us Two plates and they were good. The Mac salad was cool, reg basic flavor. The poke compared to a lot of other places was nice & fresh. It does have a little park outside that you can eat at , but being surrounded by business buildings it’s a little meh for me. Past that though , poke quality was good.“
“Quick, delicious, and fresh, every item us made instantly and basically infront of you, the Burger was extra delicious, the fries tasted like real potatoes instead of this other big franchise ones, Service was great, 1 batch of fries was enough for 2 people worth their price.Parking: Close to the beach's parking, about 5 minute walk, other than that street parking, difficult to find parking even on weekdays.“
“Stopped here on the way to Birch Aquarium with the kids. We were all pleasantly surprised how delicious everything was. From the tomatoes soup, to the grilled cheese to the steak and cheese sandwich. Had plenty of indoor seating as well which was welcomed on a rainy day.“
“My family and I we love this place. Whenever we want to have a pizza birthday party, this is where we come. Food is always fresh, tasty, and delicious. The service is excellent. The owner is a wonderful person who always goes above and beyond for us. All the workers are friendly people. I love all their pizzas, but my favorite is the chicken Chipotle pizza ? ? ? and for people who are looking for a halal pizza joint. This is the place. “
“This is the perfect spot to satisfy your hunger, a true California classic conveniently located right off the freeway. With ample parking and a drive-through option, it's a super convenient stop. Although the drive-through line can sometimes be lengthy, the quality here is consistent with other In-N-Out locations I've visited. Plus, there are gas stations nearby for a quick refill before hitting the freeway again.“
“Trudy and Susie were wonderful! The food was delicious. My daughter had the Bushfire burger and I had the salmon bowl with roasted vegetables. Both were great! My daughter's wine tasted a little off, and they comped it, plus giving her another glass on the house! Such great service. We come here quite often and we will continue.“
“Very good smash type burger, meat is flavorful and cooked perfectly. Mama Hut is a delightful lady and so friendly. An excellent burger joint with cocktails and great selection of beers. What more can you ask for? In my top ten of hamburger places in San Diego “
“Great spot for burgers and beer!! It's nice to see there's a brick and mortar location for Copper Kings. The pop-up food stand already has good food, and the food here is no exception.They have good burgers, and happy hour M-F with beer and food specials.“
“I read the 1 star review by Rachna and she's a crusty old tart lol. This place is legit one of the best Italian spots I've been to while visiting Socal. There were only 2 employees working the night I came. For 1, it was their first day. But all the same they helped me find good tasty pizza. It came out hot and fresh too. The dessert was the best part. Super tasty and I'll definitely be coming back with friends. :)“
“Went there last Thursday with my fiancé. Our first visit since it became Goli. Very few people there that night which made the service very personal. Great staff and the food was excellent. The only item on the menu we didn't care for was the Brussel sprouts appetizer. We mentioned that to our waiter and he agreed that they needed to get it better. One of the owners came by the table to discuss our likes and dislikes with us and comped us with two glasses of wine. Overall very pleased with the experience. We will be back.“
“This place is fantastic if you're a beer lover! Also it's very dog friendly, they even allow dogs inside. I've only ever been here for work happy hours, but I definitely need to make the trek sometime to experience it without a big group, because I have no clue what the food menu actually looks like. All I know is the food we have here is always really good. Parking can be a bit tight sometimes but that's the only real downside.“
“This in and out burger is a bit above others I've been to. The ingredients seemed fresher. We did have to wait a bit sitting in the dining room, they definitely prioritize the drive-thru. The service was friendly. Love the animal style burger.“
“Phenomenal seafood, great service (by Jake/Jacob), my only qualm is them not having an espresso martini, on national espresso martini day, because they only do them during the holidays.... PC, we need these martinis year round! Bring them baaaaack!“
“Stopped here today for breakfast and my friend wanted to have lunch. I got the pancakes with scrambled eggs and potatoes, it was pretty good. My friend got an Impossible burger and subbed the fries with onion rings which she said was very good. She also got crispy green beans which it tried and were good. The one thing that bothered me the most was that when she went to put her green beans on a plate the bottom of the container has red cabbage stuffed in the bottom to make it look like it was filled with the green beans.These 2 meals with the tip came to $71.00!!!Restaurants are getting crazy with their prices. ?“
“I would rate the overall experience at 10Excellent food great location, friendly staff, I had the fish taco plate with the best shrimp taco ever and I worked my way through both types of fish breaded fish taco was excellent as well. A friend had the burger and it was excellent. Patti looks better than average, so did the fries.We highly recommend this placePlus, they just expanded the size so now it’s twice as big! Without suffering, the quality of service or food. ServiceAdrienne, no I’m gonna ask her yeah we want to give you a good review but I wanna make sure I had your name right how Was our server, and she was great“
“Great restaurant. Relatively quick service (~5 mins for one sandwich). Like someone else mentioned, it smells great as soon as you walk in. Patient and polite service as I needed a few minutes to look over the menu. While large menus can be a bad sign, you can see them making everything fresh to order. I got the Reuben and it had a lot of meat, great bread, great sauerkraut. Definitely will return“
“The customer service was superb! Everyone we encountered there was super nice friendly and patient ( we had a few questions since this was our first time there). The food was delicious!! I devoured the impossible burger which was the best impossible burger I've eaten yet and the garlic fries were amazing! They definitely exceeded my expectations! The rest of my crew ordered the bbq chicken sandwich and a bbq burger along with some fries and they loved theirs as well. Good fountain drink options. We also enjoyed their warmed chocolate chip cookie... mmmm. Their facilities and dining area were very clean which is a must for me. Wish I had taken some pics but I was too busy enjoying my food lol! Next time we will have to try their shakes.“
“Brought our family here for my son's 6th birthday breakfast before conquering Lego land and had the PERFECT experience. Started with the Hawaiian pancake, ordered the Greek omelette, Chorizo scramble, Huevos Rancheros and Waffle breakfast - everything was LITERALLY PERFECT. Krista made us feel at home, and she also made us not want to leave. Honestly a breakfast experience we will cherish forever. Thanks Krista!!!“

“Delicious! I've gotten the Social and Chili, and they were both delicious! The social is extremely flavorful but MESSY and greasy. The egg is drippy and messy but I'll always add it. The chili is also delicious and the pita is so soft! The people are super friendly and the price is fair considering everywhere else on campus is just the same price but smaller servings. I always go during lunch time and it's not too bad. There's definitely a rush but it doesn't get loud, and you can sit inside or outside. The food comes out fast so that's a plus for me since I'm on a time crunch!10/10 recommend if you're on campus and have time to sit down and eat!“
“Overall, our breakfast at the Lodge was nice and we're glad we had the experience. The view of the golf course & ocean is beautiful as is the ambiance & Craftsman style of the restaurant. That said, be prepared for the military jets & helicopters flying low to disrupt the peace & quiet! Our server was nice & accommodating but the food was over priced ($21 each entree)and I found the oat & blueberry pancakes to be a little dry. We got extra syrup to remedy that. The portion was huge & we could've split a stack! (The server could've brought this to our attention). Word to the wise, split a stack & order extra syrup & a side of fruit to share.“
“It was a bit of a wait about 20 - 30 mins which is totally normal for a Saturday I feel, however when we were seated the server was amazing and was very knowledgeable about the dishes, Food was really good, and it was how we ordered them. Really good spot!“
“If I could give 4.5 stars I would. The place is very clean, ascetics are very pleasing, great location, terrific service. I just couldn't figure out if I actually liked the burger. It had a backend taste that I couldn't figure out, could have been the caramelized onions and whatever they were cooked in or with. They were also a bit slimy for me. I will try the shack burger next time (no slimy onions). The fries were good, and decent ranch. So, still not sure if I'm a fan. I will update when I try the regular burger.Parking: The parking is behind the stores in a parking garage. Had to ask someone where to park.“
“Our family is in town for two weeks on a little vacation type trip. We have been here twice in the first few days. The food is so delicious. We have had the bbq burger, cosmo fries, the chicks (regular chicken tenders), hot dog, and all have been so good. We definitely recommend trying this place if you stop in at the windmill food hall. They are also listed for delivery on the delivery apps. The windmill food hall also has a little arcade type area which our kiddo really enjoyed.“
“Immediately upon walking in, we felt so welcome. The "slave" as he called himself was so friendly and accommodating. The food was fantastic! So well prepared and tasty. Great portions, great options.And the atmosphere! Wow. It's a beautiful place, and the staff made it feel that much more! Beautiful. We loved this place!“
“Not one to write reviews but this place is so great! Our office is closing and I am bummed I won't be around as much. The fried pickles with ranch are absolutely amazing. The grilled chicken sandwich was crazy fresh and juicy. Employees are also awesome everytime. Highly recommend for lunch! Great prices too.“
“This place is one of my favorite BBQ spots! They not only have the classics but they have some unique items as well. I tried Phil's bbq because of all the hype and it was really disappointing. I stumble upon Smokin J's and was blown away by the brisket and Ribs! Also the pork belly is some of the best I've tried. You can tell they take there time and they do it right ! Also the Mac and cheese is so good!!!“
“Just WOW!!! Absolutely love the quality of the service. Kristina F, one of the fabulous baristas at this location is a GEM!!! She is super quick and always serves up delicious coffee drinks. Upon ordering, she completed my coffee order within a few seconds. IMPRESSIVE!!! The espresso is the perfect balance of smooth and strong.“
“A very good selection of craft, local beers. Especially the IPAs that were recommended to me, excellent. The hamburger was generous and very tasty. The rooms all wonderful, especially the one who served me at the bar with a ponytail in her hair. Unfortunately I don't remember the name. A very nice and informal atmosphere among the customers too. I had a good time. Thanks.“
“I work nearby and decided to stop by here for a bite to eat and it was so good! Not only was the food delicious, but the staff was amazing, especially Harry! They were all so sweet and helpful. The service made the food even better which I didn’t think was possible. 10/10 recommend!“
“I'm just some guy who lives in a van, but I eat a lot of chicken sandwiches. I want to tell you about the one this place offers. I don't even really like these people, but I don't care, and neither should you, because I love a good chicken sandwich, and this is a totally incredible fried chicken sandwich, the flavor and juiciness combined with a crunchy, spicy, beautifully glazed breading makes for some of the best chicken I've ever had all by itself. Sandwich it between some delicious buns and bring down the heat with the zingy pickles and it's worthy of an award. The fries are as good as fries get. Cheers to the chef and the crew, thanks for the experience.“
“Chef Felix and family put together an excellent meal. Every. Single. Day.I've been going here for 4+ years and am still going back. Everytime Chef curates, weekly, a menu and will even still make you almost anything you can cook on a skillet. From flatbreads, to home made soups, and a Cubano I would fight you for, they make a bit of everything.¡Provecho!“
“Great tasting american style vegan food, I recommend the buffalo 66 burger and oreo shake! Their burgers look like they've gotten smaller too? It's quite expensive though, I would come much muchhh more often if the food was a little cheaper. I can only afford to come here about 4-5 times a year.“
“Delicious yet clean cut burger! Friendly service in a well maintained environment, nice indoor and outdoor seating available. Had the Lounge Burger - excellent! Add bacon for a few bucks more next time, then would be almost perfect ;) Wheat bun, different but healthier so I'll take it, definitely a go to spot for lunch when in Carlsbad“
“Great spot right on the cove close to water front. Huge menu with many eating options. Somehow they make every dish delicious even they offer like 200 different things. Pizza is budget friendly and delicious. They used tomato chunks instead of sauce and it's great.“
“This is a regular stop. We start with a glass of house chardonnay, which is fantastic! Check the happy hour menu for the best price. There is always parking available but you may have to walk a little.Wd go for linch and always find a seat. The have both indoor and outdoor seating. You order at the counter and move to the cashier to pay.We split the steak sandwich and wings. Both were excellent. Make sure you have plenty of napkins with the wings and dipping sauce.Highly recommend!“
“Delicious hot dogs served every kind of way! Our first time here. We stopped along Mission because we had noticed this new offering of food trucks. We had the house glizzy and the hot Cheetos. Both cooked to perfection! The grilled onions and sauce on the house dog was so yummy! There was a shaded place to sit and eat but we took ours to go. Super nice owners!!“
“Had a delicious Double Char and sweet potato fries with iced tea. Really good servers, friendly and helpful. The place was really clean and an excellent fast food place. I got so into lunch that I forgot the picture until I was mostly done eating. ?“
“Young Lady was extremely polite & helpful, helped me with the App., had 2 Famous Stars with CheeseKid-friendliness: Parents and family can Enjoy & Eat comfortablyWheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room for wheelchair accessibility“
“This is my new go to place in Carlsbad. The food, drinks, and staff are all top notch! HH every day at 3:00pm, open for breakfast and will stay open late as long as there are people in the bar. If you haven't been here yet - you're missing out - just don't take my spot at the bar!!“
“Ya serve hot, freshly made food, with arugula and also make custom espressos in a hospital lobby, you're gonna get a good mark. Food came out super fresh and swift. I got the good special burger of the day with a side of some good shoestring fries. Coffee hit the spot too. Hell, I'd give 'em a fifth star if they also served onion rings . . . but they didn't. Coffee-cart coffee that's much tastier than the cafe coffee across the street (Cove Cafe). Super friendly staff and some tables inside to enjoy your eats. Dicks“
“I recently had the pleasure of celebrating my best friend David's birthday at The Craftsman Tavern, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish.The Craftsman Tavern exudes warmth and charm from the moment you walk in. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place for a celebration. The staff greeted us with smiles and made us feel like part of their extended family.Now, let's talk about the food and drinks. The menu at The Craftsman Tavern is a culinary delight. We ordered a variety of dishes, and every single one of them was a gastronomic masterpiece. The flavors were exquisite, and the presentation was top-notch. David, the birthday boy, couldn't have been happier with his choice of venue.The drink selection is equally impressive. The cocktails were expertly crafted, and the beer and wine choices were excellent. It's evident that The Craftsman Tavern takes pride in its beverage offerings.But what truly stood out was the impeccable service. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure that we had everything we needed to make David's birthday celebration unforgettable.The Craftsman Tavern has certainly become a favorite spot for me and my friends. It's a place where you can enjoy fantastic food and drinks in a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a great meal, I highly recommend The Craftsman Tavern. David's birthday was a memorable one, thanks to this wonderful establishment!“
“A grill come small convenience store all rolled into one. Went there for some odd groceries and found that the grill was pretty good as well. There was nothing bad their. Again nothing fancy but certainly good value for money and could not complain about any of the dishes I ordered. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.“
“You're the second Carlos Jr that I've gone into that has a kiosk to self-order. Both experiences have been pretty dismal. I definitely do not like to use the kiosk too small.If you like us to use the kiosk more, have on the first screen, the pictures of the combos and specials that you're running on your windows outside.Parking: Parking lot nice size. However there are multiple entrances and cars are rushing around.“
“I've tried almost every item on the menu and have dined here more than 50 times; each visit has been consistently enjoyable. While it's a bit pricier than typical fast food, the quality surpasses the standard, and the fact that it's vegan adds to its appeal. The burgers, with the Rambler being my top choice, are fantastic. Don't miss out on the shakes; they are truly delightful. The wraps are excellent, especially if you're not in the mood for a burger. And, if you happen to arrive early for breakfast, you're in for a treat as their breakfast burritos are outstanding.“
“This was a very pleasant surprise for us. We went here for a March madness day for lunch, not expecting much. The food was fantastic… the Nashville hot chicken sandwich was 5/5, the hangover burger was a 5/5, the kids loved their meals too. Beer selection was solid, volume of TVs was more than enough, and the service was top notch. We actually wanted to go again the next day and got stuck in typical socal traffic and it got too late… next time in town I guess.“
