50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Carlsbad

“Great customer service!!!“

“great customer service and and good Knowledge of all the beers“

“Had the salmon and it was delicious. Good clean atmosphere and hospitable, attentive staff.“

“Red Chickz’ chicken sandwich is amazing. The seasoning is habit worthy. Sooo tasty! The chicken, the fries, the cheese curds - everything is delicious. Even the cauliflower bites have the seasoning on it. I get the ‘Cool’ style - which basically means all the seasoning but no heat. But that’s just me. It’s amazing.

The owner, Mike, is super friendly. I see him come out to talk to people all the time. He spoke with my husband and I for quite a bit. I’m so impressed at the ingredients he uses and the care he takes in hiring certain employees and then how he treats them. He seems very conscientious.

I love that about this place.
Come try it!“

“The chicken kabob is amazing!“

“Outstanding salads! Friendly staff!“

“We are tourists visiting the area and made reservations for this restaurant for 5:30 on 3/24/26. We arrived at the restaurant at 5:26 and after we checked in with the young lady at the front desk, were told we were too early to sit at our table and that we could either go to the bar or sit outside until she would come and get us, really?? At 5:33 our phone buzzed and someone other than the hostess came and got us, taking us to a table but not the high top we had reserved. The restaurant was maybe a 1/4 full when we arrived and only one of the high top tables had customers. We were disappointed with how we were treated by this young lady, made us feel like we were unimportant to your company. Disappointed that we didn’t get to sit where we made the reservation also. We had great service and food once we were seated.“

“Loved their lattes! Quick service and great food“

“I enjoyed Pho Central so much ! The owner was so welcoming and accommodated us right away. The food came out super fast and was DELICIOUS! I’d def recommend anyone to come here, the atmosphere is so cute and perfect and cozy for soup to go or to sit in !“

“The. Best. Smoothie. I have ever had! So fresh and delicious! Visiting from out of state and had to stop here a few times while we were in Carlsbad! Also really enjoyed the Acai bowl! Excellent customer service, friend staff, clean restaurant and most importantly delicious, fresh, fruity drinks! Can't wait to go back!“

“We really enjoyed our lunch/dinner! Excellent chicken pot pie. Our waitress was Diane and she is top notch! Thank you so much !“

“This place is sooo amazing, we travel from las vegas to Newport Beach one of my favorite spots in California and we found this 💎 prices are affordable and for less than 30 dollars we got 4 medium size ice cream cones and I got impressed I asked the girl ..those are medium size!!!! She said yes!!! I was like woooww is to much ice-cream my wife and kids loved. Definitely going back to Cali cali 🤪“

“La Costa Coffee Roasting is an absolute gem. Our family has been going here forever! From the moment you walk in, you can tell they care deeply about quality and craft. The coffee is consistently excellent—rich, smooth, and thoughtfully roasted, easily our favorite local cafe. Highly recommend their espresso blend!

The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about coffee, always happy to recommend a roast or explain their very cool, vintage coffee roasting machine right in the middle of the cafe. Whether you’re grabbing a quick cup or picking up beans to brew at home, the experience feels personal and welcoming.

La Costa Coffee Roasting is a must-visit. Easily the best coffee spot around.“

“The gelato was just like what we had in Florence,Italy!“

“We visited Carlsbad in 2023 and of course fell in love but one of my favorite memories was waking up early in the morning, sun still hadn’t popped out, it was foggy but the temperature was already perfect. My daughter and I walked to Interim Coffee while listening to the waves crashing in. We absolutely loved the coffee shop and the vibe and yes of course the coffee was great too. Got back to our Airbnb just in time to watch dolphins swimming. Might seem like no big deal but it was such a great memory and one we still talk about.“

“I live in Arizona and walking my found this place. To sum it up I’m addicted to this ice cream. Every time we go to San Diego I have this ice cream 2 to 3 times a day.“

“I love it“

“It is a fun place to be! variety of foods available.“

“Elissa puts so much thought and dedication into her delicious creations. You won't find Costco muffins repackaged in cellophane at this cafe - you WILL find her handmade recreations of traditional French pastries, fun fantasy-themed original creations, alongside custom flavored and hand-painted chocolates. Highly recommend, delicious. I only wish we lived closer and could visit more often (but that's why my wife has a monthly chocolate subscription to Elissa's companion business, 'Chocolates by E')“

“Great Italian Pastries and coffee in the morning and perfect Italian sandwiches at lunch. Ken and his family know how to bake!“

“Very good pizza and wings. Pizza came out pretty quickly. Sauce is not sweet, which is a good thing. Crust is airy and crunchy. Hot wings were also good. Good sauce. Right amount of vinegar and heat.“

“Great food, great selection, great prices, great specials, and GREAT PEOPLE! Visit. Often.“

“Excellent food and service.“

“Consistently delicious and friendly service.“

“Loved the BHC in the Grove so went here when we were down visiting Carlsbad. Ordered 8pc Gold King wings with bburing sauce. Amazing flavor, crisp and juicy just as advertised! Definitely my favorite Korean fried chicken chain around here so far. Service was great as well, even though we were ordering to-go. (Got an additional wing too!)“

“I love the food and the ambiance.“

“Great food, great feel, friendly help“

“Wow! We are so grateful to have happened upon Don's Country Kitchen! our lunch was a home made perfect delight. Excellent menu, service, and food. Highly recommend Don's! ♥️😊“

“Beatiful place I love it Great fooooood“

“Great pizza. On time delivery“

“Fresh Monkee is such a refreshing break from the usual smoothie spots. Their shakes feel like a smart little loophole…dessert vibes without the crash or the guilt. I also happened to meet the owner, who was genuinely friendly and clearly passionate about what he’s building, which makes supporting the place that much better. Definitely worth the stop.“

“I appreciate a place with great wine and a beautiful charcuterie display. I highly recommend“

“LOVE this spot. Tons of seating, easy parking, and every drink we got absolutely slapped.

I got the almond milk matcha which was creamy, balanced, not overly sweet. My friends got the vanilla oat milk cortado and the Honey Please latte with oat milk and both were 10/10 too!

The baristas are super knowledgeable and personable. Such a solid coffee shop. Definitely a go-to when i’m in the area!“

“Long lines in drivethru so went in. These employees hustle and work hard. Non stop, yet none look phased by business. Had to try the 🍔 burger. It was very good and the shake 🍓 was just as good. However. Those workers would bring me back. Excellent“

“Awesome food! We were in town at Carlsbad for the weekend, and visited it twice. Everything we tried was huge portions and fabulous! Servers and staff were very friendly, and very knowledgeable. If you are in the area, stop in and enjoy!!“

“The food and service is always good, I was wondering what is their signature dish? And has the restaurant had a food critics review? I love you read it! See you soon Casa de Bandini!“

“Ordered a cake for an office retirement party and it was a hit! Several people asked where it was from. Chocolate cake with raspberry jam and chocolate buttercream, absolutely delightful! Wil definitely be ordering my cakes from here going forward. Ornament was purchased and added separately.“

“Outstanding in every way!“

“My family and I had a wonderful time yesterday. Thanks for the great food and conversation! - The Cole's from Idaho“

“Had the chance to taste Guillaume's pastries when he was still a student... Can't wait to see what they'll be serving us! :)“

“Good food for the price!!“

“Nice environment and friendly staff. It could be that I’ve gotten used to large pours of lower quality wines but this is the smallest pour of Chardonnay I’ve ever had - for $18. And I do eat out a lot and go to wineries frequently. If price isn’t an issue definitely come here. Delicious Chardonnay.“

“What a hidden gem! The pour over menu is extensive and Ruben will help you chose if your not sure. The turkey chili was delicious. Sat by the koi pond, listened to the water, and enjoyed every sip. Thank you for the experience 🙏 I'll be back.“

“Loved this little place and the experience brought with it! Latte was made perfectly; mildly sweet with a creamy vanilla finish. Donut melted away in my mouth. Lighting, seating, and cleanliness was perfect for the Carlsbad area. 🩵“

“I thought it was enjoyable. Not only the beer, but the brewery itself was unique. They did have a food vendor in the front, but I did not eat. They have mostly indoor, and a couple picnic tables outside which. It’s hard to compare this location with the other burgeon locations because they are all so different. Wish they would offer a Happy Hour or a featured/discounted beer like how Harland and Pizzaport does.“

“I thought it was a cool spot. I don’t know if I would personally dine here, but they do focus pretty heavy on food/dining here… unlike other breweries who mostly have food trucks and limited menus. The beer list was absolutely insane. I haven’t seen many options in my life. I did appreciate it the variety… but tbh… I only care about the in house brewed stuff. I visited to try YOUR beer. Not a guest beer. I had the docitra, or however u call it, at Board N Brew… and it was fire. It prompted me to come out and check you guys out… which I did. Cool location, maybe not the most convenient but I did enjoy the area. I forgot which German/euro beer I had. But I think it was a Helles and it was Hellas good lol“

“Such a lovely place with a wonderful atmosphere. The interior is beautifully designed and full of small details that make the space feel special.
I was especially impressed by the fresh flower arrangements — they are incredibly stylish and thoughtfully composed. As someone who really appreciates aesthetics, this detail made a big impression on me.
The service was warm and attentive, and the rolls was very fresh with beautiful presentation.
We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Gluten free crust was amazing ! We are not celiac but sensitive and best crust we have tried. Gelato was great and made in house as well.“

“The community is very fortunate to have Anthony and his team to make this area of the campground a place for everyone to enjoy. The views, facilities and lets not forget the music and giving artists a venue to share thier talents. What a Great venue for locals and the surrounding communities. I would like to add, it is very difficult for Anthony and his team to keep this business going. I have notice a few people and groups are bringing in thier own food and drinks. This makes it very difficult for the Campstore to stay in business. All the things they do for the holidays and Jurassic Animals for the kids, this cost a lot. Can we just enjoy something special that they have built for all of us to enjoy. Let's support the staff, management and leadership with our patronage.“

“My wife loves these bagels, she likes taking our son and enjoying the outdoor seating along with a fresh bagel. She orders the angry everything with veggie cream cheese and she loves the portion size!“
