4 Best Southern Restaurants near Carlsbad

“Everything I ordered was delicious! It’s been a while since I’ve had really good bbq. This place was reasonable and fast. We ordered 2 lunch orders, portions size was large and it over all after tax was less than $30. I had enough left overs for dinner and lunch the next day.“

“Best BBQ in SD. Phil's could never! Came here in a whim after a trip to Legoland. The location is small as it's mostly used for catering. We were still able to be seated as a party of 5 comfortably. The server was courteous and attentive. Mr. Felix was on site and was an absolute gem to talk to! We ordered: Ribs( St. Louis style) Collards Baked beans Okra Pulled pork Sandwich Chicken (tenders) and waffles. There were no misses here! Everything was on point. The ribs were tender and Juicy. The sauce was slightly sweet but no too much. The collards were well seasoned and not overcooked. The baked beans were also a little sweet and the sauce was thick,not watery. The okra was AMAZING! Okra is one of those side dishes that are hard to find in SD and when you do it's usually not done well. The kids ordered the pulled pork and chicken and waffles. Judging by how fast they ate them they must have been pretty good as well. We will definitely be back!“
