Restaurants by Cuisine
“Amazing food and service. Totally worth the price and pricing was not bad. We had 2 appetizers, two cocktails, two entrees, two desserts for $250 including tip. I had the sea bass and it was the best cooked fish I have ever had in my life!”
“Aura Gardens is a beautiful and well-maintained venue with a welcoming atmosphere and stunning surroundings. The grounds are clean, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy special moments. The staff were friendly, attentive, and ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The attention to detail and overall experience exceeded expectations. Highly recommend Aura Gardens to anyone looking for a memorable visit. Five stars!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Great food and great service. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. The spice level was just right, and the portions were generous for the price. The staff were friendly and the restaurant was clean. Definitely one of the better hot chicken spots I’ve tried, and I’ll be coming back again.”
“They didn’t have much to eat besides sweets. Coffee was good. Some seating inside. It was a busy place. Okay seating outside but there were some loud people. I had to be on a meeting and I had to move tables because there were so many people and a single Loud Talker. If the outdoor seating had been better I would have stayed longer”
“Sweet Cream Biscuits & Peach Jam!!! Sublime! I got addicted to Jeni’s while visiting Florida (Publix carries it). Ecstatic to find a Jeni’s parlor right here at home! Great staff, huge variety of flavors, inviting spot to sit and savor the creamy, decadent goodness”

“Fantastic happy hour with a great menu that features classic staples as well as fun specialty rolls that are fresh and delicious. Not too crowded and a relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely be back!”
Outdoor Dining
“Except for the long drive-through lines, it’s worth going. And I have to actually admit that the lines move pretty quickly.
I do think that they ought to put their napkins in a separate small bag, before dropping them in on top of the burgers. I can never use them by the time I get home because they’re covered with sauce and cheese!
But that’s just me!”
“I didn’t expect much but was surprised to get the tastiest food I ever ate in Mexican place. I suppose it was because the Taco Oasis shack was a first for me,beng used to restaurants, but those people know how to prepare the most tasty tacos I’ve ever eaten. They also add avocado no extra charge. Carne Asada Taco only $3.50 each. What a deal!”
“Tried this spot out yesterday off door dash, was wanting to try something new and i loved it. Their chicken is so tender and delicious I had to go back again today to see if I was just hyping it up. Today it was also delicious and so juicy !!! I’m definitely going to be coming back to this place over and over and over and over and over and over again till my sweat is 75 percent teriyaki sauce you guys Rock !!!”
“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 stop after a motorcycle ride! 🏍 We came here for lunch with two friends and had a great experience. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the service was excellent, and the food was fresh, flavorful, and delicious.
Great atmosphere, great food, and a perfect place to relax after a ride. Definitely coming back! 🌮☀”

“Handel’s Ice Cream is always such a treat. The ice cream is rich, creamy, and full of flavor, and there are so many great choices that it’s hard to pick just one. The portions are very generous too, which makes it even better.
The staff was friendly and the service was quick. Definitely one of our favorite places to stop for ice cream. We’ll be back!”
“5 stars! We had a great experience at Chin’s Restaurant. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor, and the portions were very generous. You definitely get a lot of food for your money!
The service was friendly and attentive, and everything we ordered came out perfectly. Great food, big portions, and a very enjoyable experience. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Such a beautiful place! The food not only tastes amazing, but is also beautifully presented. I’m a very picky eater, and I can immediately recognize good-quality ingredients. It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed a meal this much. Everything was fresh, delicious, and clearly made with care. Highly recommend!”
“There were 3 of us for dinner and we all enjoyed our meal. The black bean appetizer was delicious. The chips and salsa were brought to the table. Chips were a bit salty for my taste. The California Burrito was huge and delicious. The enchiladas was good as well as the tacos. We will definitely go back.”
“We sat outside as the weather was perfect for dining al fresco. It was also much quieter than inside the restaurant. The menu is extensive and offers items not found at other restaurants. We started with the carciofini (baked artichoke hearts with lots of cheese) and was surprised at the portion size. It was good but on the salty side. Our entrees were the linguini Luciana and veal porcini. Again we were overwhelmed by the portion sizes and only finished half. The veal was good and loaded with porcini. Service was friendly yet professional. All in all, a good experience and we will return for another occasion.”

“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!”
“I’m gonna give 4 star because we love ice cream but the kid working today was the stingiest sample giver ever. Tbh I’m shocked how little was the sample, literally from corner like there is no ingredients in it me to understand actual flavor.
He ruined my ice cream experience literally. We came there happy want some ice cream, you don’t need to make us feel bad like we ask for something wrong. I thought maybe he owns the store or his relatives lol.
We were talking on the way back with my husband, if the owner would know how funny his samples, I think he would be mad. That’s not a good service.
May 29 Friday around 5.30-6 pm.
I won’t visit this store again, I’ll go other ones or maybe just buy from store.”
“I want to say yes and recommend them. But I can't because I have a subscription to their coffee but they sent me the wrong coffee. it's been about a week, I've call a few times, left two voice mail messages, I've emailed as well and I have not gotten any response at all. The coffee I bought and subscribed to is good, but I can't continue to do business with a company that won't respond to their customers to fix their mistakes.”
“One of our favorite spots in Carlsbad! The atmosphere is always so good, the beer selection is amazing, the food hits every time, and the staff truly makes this place what it is.
Steel and Cass are THE BEST. We specifically love coming in for San Diego Sundays because they make it such a fun time every single time. Such a great spot to come watch a game. The service is always incredible, they are so welcoming, so attentive, and they bring the best energy. They are a huge reason we keep coming back.
The beer selection is insane too. Tons of cans and bottles to choose from, so many great IPAs, and always something new to try. And do not sleep on the food. The burgers are all so good, the black truffle burrata is unreal, and the Getting Figgy With It pizza with prosciutto added, per Steel’s recommendation, is a MUST.
Perfect for lunch, beers with friends, date night, or just hanging out for a few hours. Great food, great drinks, great vibes, and even better people. Steel and Cass deserve all the hype. We love this place!”

“This is my favorite coffee spot in CA. Ruben is an incredible barista and is extremely knowledgeable about Coffee. His assortment of single origin coffee varietals is like going to a wine bar and having a tasting. He has an entire chart based on the origins of the coffee you are tasting and has direct connections to the Coffee and where it comes from. This is my go to coffee spot if I want to drink pure coffee. He will take you on a journey and give you more information than you could ever learn on your own. This is by far my favorite coffee spot in the world. Oh, and take your kids since there’s a Koi pond that you can feed next to it. If you have a home espresso machine, I highly recommend his espresso blend as you’ll pull the best shots you’ll ever make. Definitely worth a visit.”

“I had a great experience at Ember & Rye. Their SD Restaurant Week menu was delicious. Kudos to the new executive chef there. Service was phenomenal. We were seated by Gina, who was lovely to my parents and myself. Daniel was our waiter and also did a fantastic job. He was always there when we needed him, and never there when we didn't. Great sense from him. I finished my steak frites before Daniel came back to check on us, and they actually gave me a medium rare (I tend to like it on the rarer side). All around very happy.”
“This was our very first time trying Thai food, and we absolutely loved it! TikTok led us to 78 Thai, and it exceeded every expectation.
The Pad Thai with shrimp, cream cheese wontons, Crying Tiger, and Pra-Ram were all outstanding. And the fresh coconut juice with real coconut inside is a must try!! it was the best and most refreshing coconut drink we’ve ever had.
If you’ve never tried Thai food before, this is the perfect place to start. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Tried the newly released Citra By-The-Sea hazy IPA, and it was wonderful! Always good friendly service, most every time I am in Carlsbad I try to stop in and have a beer.”

“Coffee and food were delicious! My wife's chai latte wasn't quite up to her standards but they happily made her a different drink. Great vibes and amazing customer service. And the salmon toast was honestly one of the best dishes we had on our trip. Highly recommend.”
“I love the service I get from Lullabar. I had been trying to ween myself off of a toxic relationship with acrylic. This resulted in going on an over 18 month “get your nails healthy” journey. I have had my nails done with Sherlyn now four times. She is patient, professional and really good at what she does. The atmosphere is excellent. My second favorite thing to coming out with lovely hands is the cafe! If you prebook, you are awarded with a drink…the lavender latte is to die for.”
“excellent place all around. only been going for about 2 months but as soon as I walk in the door Mr Charlie knows exactly what I want(corn chicken pablano soup) which tastes amazing and made fresh daily from scratch and it shows. the sandwiches are also top notch in taste, generously filled and at an affordable price. Def dont skip this place if you have a chance to stop by!”
“I love tacos El Pueblo!!!! A San Diego classic with the famous $1.39 fish tacos (at the time of this writing) their service is fantastic. The staff is friendly. The food is great. The salsa is awesome! And the complimentary pickled carrots are a classic. I sincerely hope you will read this review and visit this esteemed establishment to give them your business as opposed to visiting a crappiestablishment such as Chipotle.”
“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.”
“I’m in love with biryani here vegetarian biryani I tried at 100places but finally I quit eating vegetable biryani But this place when I tried I loved it Will never go anywhere if I want vegetarian biryani this is my only place to go Plus another thing I love their chats samosa chat and aloo tikki chat Aloo tikki chat is my favourite one Haven’t tried anything else yet but will update if I will tried some another dishes 💯 recommended”
“We grabbed lunch to go and ate by the beach. The staff was kind and our food was prepared right away. The portions were very generous. We both had salmon bowls and fruit tea and they were amazing!! The intnerior atmosphere appeared clean but not welcoming to sit and eat. The place is pretty small. I would definitely order from here again if I am in the area.”
“I stopped at Mot’to Japanese Grill and WOW… this place seriously delivers 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I ordered the Chicken & California Roll and it was so worth it. The grilled chicken was perfectly cooked and covered in rich, flavorful teriyaki sauce, and the California roll was super fresh and tasted way better than expected. 👀 It also came with rice, miso soup, and a salad, so you’re getting a full, satisfying meal. 🤤🫶🏻
Everything tasted fresh, clean, and really well put together—not heavy, just super enjoyable. The portions were solid, the flavors were on point, and you can tell they actually care about the quality. 😊💕
Service was quick and smooth, and the staff was friendly, which made the whole experience even better. 🫶🏻
Definitely one of those spots I’ll 💯 keep coming back to when I'm here in Carlsbad - highly recommend 🙌🏼🙌🏼👌🏼👌🏼”
“Simply amazing! My husband and I frequent Naked. The food is awesome, and the service is amazing. We thought we would post a review of a visit we made there a few days ago. When we walked into the restaurant, (early 8:00 am) for breakfast, there was a table that had already been serviced with about 14-16 people. Michael, the manager was already taking their order. When he was finished taking their order, he came over to our table to take ours. He told us that there was a large table before us, so it might be a while before we received our order. Surprisingly enough, within in 10 minutes!, no lie, the large table was being served their orders and at the SAME time, our order came out as well. I don’t know how they do it. We love coming to Naked! Thank you Michael and staff!!! Kim & Tony”
“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!!”
“It's amazing. Simply amazing. Great customer service. Delicious sushi. Good music. Love love love.”
“Great food and great service from a very friendly and attentive staff! Had an awesome date night! Our first time here but won’t be our last.”
“Excellent costumer service from the hostesses to the bar , I like to recognize Bartender/Server Elias went above and beyond to make us feel welcome he was amazing. 5⭐️”
“Gabi, Brittany, and Alex at the bar are wonderful! They’re always so welcoming, friendly, and make sure you’re being taken care of. I always enjoy their excellent service!”
“My family and I had a wonderful time yesterday. Thanks for the great food and conversation! - The Cole's from Idaho”
“I was out of town for a week and when I walked into the Carlsbad store today Juliette greeted me with a big smile and even called me by name. I missed you guys when I was traveling. Thanks for making me healthy 🙏”
“I have been here twice and the atmosphere and service is good but this review will highlight food allergies that i wish to communicate with the powers that be. I usually dine at restaurants with labeled menus since it lessens the questions I have for waitstaff and makes me more comfortable that the establishment is accustomed to sensitive customers like myself. Upon my most recent visit, I ordered the esquites salad marked with a V. V usually indicates vegan. Cojita cheese was listed in the salad so I asked the server if it was dairyfree cheese, she was unsure. I responded I eat dairy free and don’ t want cheese or any dairy. The salad came without cheese however judging from the after effects of eating the salad, I’m certain that the dressing has dairy. I strongly suggest there is key on the menu so customers are aware vegan vs vegetarian. Also waitstaff should be well aware what items are GF, DF, vegan, etc to limit dissatisfaction.”
“I have eaten there many times. It's always good. I knew the Original Owners, years ago. It was great then and also now!!”
“Charming neighborhood wine bar with a limited, yet delicious bar menu. It has the ambiance of a small, vintage French cafe. It has a casual vibe and it appears the local residents really like it. Only a few tables, so don't expect to be seated between 4-7pm without a reservation. We had to book a few weeks in advance...and it was worth the wait.”
“Good hotpot and great service. Roger was such a friendly and attentive server. He did a great job at explaining how everything worked and was a great guy to talk to. I would gladly come back.”
“Restaurant is beautiful and clean. Food is priced right, presented nicely and delicious!”
“Desayuno muy rico cafecito y ensaladas deliciosas todo fresco ☕️😀”
“Service and our dinner was very good. Unfortunately, when it came to dessert our waiter told us that the freezer was broken and there was no ice cream or gelato which makes up most of their dessert menu. I would have expected a higher end restaurant to send someone to the supermarket every hour or so to buy ice cream and keep it on hand and not have to tell us that there was a problem they could have easily overcome.”
“We were visiting Carlsbad for a couple weeks during the World Cup and a lot of spots bars we looked at had lines during the big matches or weren't kid friendly. Our friend suggested Hennessey's and we went 3 times in our trip. Atmosphere was lively but not over crowded. Service was fast and friendly. We were pleasantly surprised at the fresh juices that you don't normally find at a pub. Highly recommend for a great neighborhood pub and sports watching!”
“The very best Indian food I have ever eaten in all of San Diego county.”
“The rolls we got were delectable...so yummy and quite large. In fact we had to take home our delicious bulgogy because we were too full from the rolls.
Very nicely decorated and comfortable seating at the bar.
The servers could bring our drinks a bit quicker, but they were very nice nonetheless.”

“We loved the great little touches here. Staff is very kind and friendly. The duck is amazing! Overall food is great, service is great, atmosphere is homey.”
“Great place. Excellent wine. Very friendly staff. We joined the wine club a few months ago. We usually go there on Sunday afternoons for free tastings. Check it out!”
“Super attentive service. From the Hostesses, wait staff to buss boys. Food is delectable. Entrees were well prepared, fresh ingredients, served hot & salads crisp. Highly recommended.”
“An app I use found this place and calculates calories from photos. The mac and cheese fit my remaining calories and had plenty of bacon protein. It tasted good. The outdoor seating area is nice.”
“Great casual spot for an excellent sandwich and an excellent Belgian beer! It's a small, cozy place that has a good layout and balance between decor, TVs, seating, and open space. Perfect option for a laid back lunch or no-fuss happy hour. The guys behind the bar are welcoming, and the sandwich-meister is top notch!”
“Super chill but still casual Chinese food, the ladies were very kind and attentive to my family. Sesame triple delight, sizzling beef a la mandarin, chow mein with chicken, egg drop soup, and the Hong Kong bao were all phenomenal. They were taking take out orders and showing the same level of attention and care to those people as everyone sitting down. Fantastic experience”
“Best Thai Restaurant in the county. Delicious, awesome service great prices.”
“Best sushi since Iroha in Sherman oaks. Just way above the others in san diego”
“Hooked on sushi never fails us. Always great food. We love this place”
“This relaxing spot is perfect for enjoying a beautiful afternoon in Carlsbad with a great atmosphere. The garlic truffle fries, mahi-mahi/chicken tacos, and draft beers are absolute must-tries!”
“Food was so delicious especially the pasta! Great vibes and atmosphere especially if you can snag a table outdoors. I made a reservation and arrived on time for a party of 3 (with a toddler). Host mentioned table was not ready, but maybe in 10 minutes. Waited outside, and I went to inquire after 15 minutes. Host still said wasn’t ready but will try to engage the manager if the party doesn’t leave in 5 mins. After 20+ mins past rez time, we were finally seated. The manager mentioned there was going to be bread and dip coming out and apologized for the wait, which was appreciated. However, after getting the bill, we were charged for it. We asked & they were quick to remove it. Would love to visit again! Knocked off a star due to the wait time and needing ask.”
“The bar area is a nice casual place to sit but with full menu options!”
“We had four people and everyone enjoyed their meals. The hotel had a welcome event for a conference close by and we were able to enjoy the live music from their event. It was a good night!”
“I didn't want to go but am glad I did. Perfect size for a day trip. Not too big you get lost, and you can get thru it in 1 day. Food options were not good around closing. They all close an hour before the park so don't wait. Lines were not bad. Very clean restrooms. Very clean!
I would definitely go again, but would plan better. We went spur of the moment, still a good time. Excellent for little ones.
Parking is pricey....”
“What else can I say?? I’ve been twice on Saturdays and it’s an amazing atmosphere all day long! Strong drinks, friendly staff, great music from the bands and DJs, and it’s PACKED outside and inside!”
“It suits any kind of gathering. The food was amazing. The Manhattan on the rocks-I love when they use the single large ice cube! There was nothing I didn’t like except as the place filled up we got a little warm but still enjoyed our full experience there.”
“Beyond impressed with my meal at seasons restaurant! Louie was attentive and anticipated our every need! He was great with our child and making sure she had everything we needed. And even brought her food out before ours so we didn’t have a hangry child! The food was divine and so fresh! The cocktails were delicious and refreshing. The best family spot for a nice dinner or special occasion.”
“My wife and I had the gorgonzola beef filled ravioli with sliced filet. The sauce was really good, it wasn't super heavy and so tasty.
We also got a ricotta stuffed crust pizza that was basically like a margherita pizza except the crust was stuffed with ricotta. It was really good too.”
“Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious! The appetizers and sushi rolls were flavorful, made with high-quality ingredients, and beautifully prepared! The service was friendly and the overall experience was excellent. I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend this place to anyone looking for great sushi in the area!”
“Amazing food. Priced on the high side, but typical for the area and the quality of the food. Staff super kind and helpful. No table service, but it's easy to get everything you need. Good seats inside and outside.”
“Oh my goodness. I can't stop thinking about their chicken salad. Yes yes yes to the brown sugar walnuts and cranberry to the salad.
Great portion size for children and adults.
My family lives their take home boxes that say in crust we trust lol. Cute play on words”
“I've been going here since 97. I have never been disappointed with the quality or quantity of their food, its always delicious. Simon and Nazie are always friendly and pleasant.”
“Here, in this restaurant, you will find delicious food if it Is for breakfast or dinner and the price of each plate will vary depending on what you do order.If you are a member of IHG Rewards Club, then please charge everything to your room because that's the only way for you to accumulate hundreds of points so that you can get free nights, free merchandise or free airline tickets.”
“My husband and I recently visited Tower 39 on Friday night for some drinks and appetizers, and we had such a great experience! The staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we arrived.
Nami was especially wonderful! He checked in on us throughout the evening, was very helpful, and was great to communicate with. He really helped make our experience enjoyable.
We also had nothing but compliments for the food and drinks—they were both excellent! Overall, we had a fantastic time and will definitely be back. Highly recommend Tower 39 for a great atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, and excellent service!”
“The food is wonderful, plentiful and the service is excellent. The breadsticks and a side of marinara is a great start.”
“excellent service by David, great food and relaxed ambiance”
“Friendly people were kind and understanding when it came for me to pick something. it was hard just to pick one item. I left with a delicious sweet strawberry refresher with popping boba, and came back for a CROFFLE! which can be served with multiple toppings, but I chose strawberries and vanilla ice cream! ...Worth it!!”
“Muy rica la comida, la pasamos muy bien y la atención es muy buena.”
“First I want to mention our server, Savannah, was great even on her first night on the job. We ordered so much food along with refills on drinks and dips and Savannah provided wonderful service all around! Truthfully, I’ve never really had a bad experience at an Olive Garden and I’ve been going often enough since I’ve been alive. It’s a place that no matter where in the country I go, I love it for some reason even when other people don’t. I’ll never stop loving you, OG 💕🍝”
“Excellent excellent excellent margaritas... looking forward yo pomegranate margaritas.... excellent wait staff... world class customer service and facilities....”
“So glad Legoland opened up, there were if rides closed, the lines were long but we love going because it's close. You can get wet, ride coasters and end your day with a slow magnet through the aquarium, and the burgers in Castle Hill are awesome!!!”
“Great Carlsbad location. Something for everyone. Had their aoli artichoke and it was so yummy. Fast service great food.”
“Visited Pacific Point and had a lovely evening. The Wagyu beef skewers and the specialty rolls were definitely the highlights—highly recommend both! The atmosphere is fantastic, making it a perfect spot for cocktails or a glass of wine. Since it's located inside the Park Hyatt, the prices are on the higher side, but the quality of food and the vibes made it worth it.”
“They have a great tradition where every time a train goes by you can order a beer at a discount, was $3 for a beer at the time I was there.
Very small bar but easy to get served
Worth going past for a beer”
“I shared a steak and cheese sandwich with my wife. It was really good. My son had a hot dog and ate most of it. Considering he just wanted to get back out into the park, I was surprised he ate that much.
Overall this was better than most food you get in a theme park. Way better than any of the food I had at a park north of this one.”
“Had a BLT and fries out by the pool. Server brought the meal to the wife and I while we lounged about at one of the hot tubs. Fun place! PS: You’ll need either a pool pass key or a room key to access The Cove Bar & Grill.”
“We had a wonderful experience at Bar Traza yesterday. Our waiter, Zach, was outstanding! He was informative, friendly, personable and very helpful. He truly made our late lunch experience memorable. We sat on the patio, overlooking the golf course with a great view of the surrounding area and hills. I definitely recommend Bar Traza and Zach!”
“Best Thai food in the area, the Drunken Noodles are my go to. The Shrimp Fresh rolls are delicious I love their peanut sauce. The staff is very welcoming and the food prices are very friendly. Must try if you’re looking for authentic Thai food”
“Great place, decent music, and Anita is the best bartender ever!!!”
“Ordered a Buffalo chicken sandwich and fries. Sandwich was delicious and everything I could hope for in a Buffalo chicken sandwich . Spicy , saucy , tangy , nice roll … fries were good and crispy. Decently priced .”
“We stayed at the hotel as part of the Legoland vacations package. The hotel is right next to the park and because you stay there, you get early access to the park. Breakfast is included but still best to make reservations. We stayed in a Friends themed room with bunk beds for the girls. The girls had a great time and enjoyed meeting characters on site.”
“The management at this location is top notch. The food is craveable and the service is next level.”
“El personal es muy amable súper súper limpio 🧼 se esfuerzan por agradarte la comida no se diga súper deliciosa muy típica al estilo Oaxaca 💯 en lo personal lo recomiendo todo 🙏”
“Just happened upon this place (new in the area). Sopes were fantastic, as well as their Margaritas. Will return, for sure!!!”
“Honestly, 3 stars for quality, but GO HERE ANYWAY. Why? Because the cost for an adult is $30, and you were going to pay that anyway if you go to another eating location in Legoland. I checked the chicken place in Knights land, and the cost of a chicken sandwich combo and drink was $26. Here, it's all you can eat and drink, AND it's air-conditioned. This is the way.”

I suppose it was because the Taco Oasis shack was a first for me,beng used to restaurants, but those people know how to prepare the most tasty tacos I’ve ever eaten. They also add avocado no extra charge. Carne Asada Taco only $3.50 each. What a deal!”
“I have been here twice and the atmosphere and service is good but this review will highlight food allergies that i wish to communicate with the powers that be. I usually dine at restaurants with labeled menus since it lessens the questions I have for waitstaff and makes me more comfortable that the establishment is accustomed to sensitive customers like myself. Upon my most recent visit, I ordered the esquites salad marked with a V. V usually indicates vegan. Cojita cheese was listed in the salad so I asked the server if it was dairyfree cheese, she was unsure. I responded I eat dairy free and don’ t want cheese or any dairy. The salad came without cheese however judging from the after effects of eating the salad, I’m certain that the dressing has dairy. I strongly suggest there is key on the menu so customers are aware vegan vs vegetarian. Also waitstaff should be well aware what items are GF, DF, vegan, etc to limit dissatisfaction.”

“One of the best hotel breakfasts I've ever had, hands-down. The rice, beans, carnitas, and chilequiles were all insanely good - but the sleeper is the biscuits and gravy. A little spicy and a lot hearty, I didn't even need lunch the day we had breakfast here. It was really all delicious and so cute and fun.”
“DON'T LET THE BAD REVIEWS DISSUADE YOU! Our experience at Dragon's Den was beyond excellent - food, service, and atmosphere all included.
Is it pricey? Sure, but the food was absolutely delicious. The pork schnitzel with the greens and tomatoes was excellent, and the pureed potatoes were perfection. My husband commented that the Crown Jewel was one of the highest quality and best cooked steaks he's ever had. The kids smashed their cheeseburger and macaroni and cheese, and the french fries were actually super good.
To top it off, our attentive and kind waiter brought ice cream and sang happy birthday for our celebration! No 18% tip was added to the bill without us knowing, no one was rude, and nothing was bad. I will come back here no question when we return to Legoland - it was a highlight of the trip.”
“Great food and great service. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. The spice level was just right, and the portions were generous for the price. The staff were friendly and the restaurant was clean. Definitely one of the better hot chicken spots I’ve tried, and I’ll be coming back again.”
“Except for the long drive-through lines, it’s worth going. And I have to actually admit that the lines move pretty quickly.
I do think that they ought to put their napkins in a separate small bag, before dropping them in on top of the burgers. I can never use them by the time I get home because they’re covered with sauce and cheese!
But that’s just me!”

“The taste is different, not in a bad way. With so much chicken options it is a nice kick to the taste buds. The sauce options are an explosion. One of the 4 has your traditional chicken figure taste but still unique and not a copy. The other 3 are very unique and worth the try. Chicken can be eaten plain, like popcorn chicken from other places. Only negative is the hours of operation but I understand for the area. I ordered online and it was nothing difficult, able to use Apple pay.”
“Really nice design inside and spotless clean. Service is on point. Smoothies were great and tons of options. I don't leave reviews that often, in fact we stopped in the shopping center for ice-cream, but the place looked so inviting we decided on smoothies.
What a nice little business, I hope the word spreads around. I think the owner was there too, clearly takes pride in the establishment.”
“From the outside it doesnt seem big. But once you walk in its a spacious area. Outdoor patio, with benches and tables. Inside gave me a cigar, mens club vibe, with leather chairs, wood card table. But i loved it! They serve food which i dint try, but wished they advertised better.
The beer is good, not great. We had ipas amd a lager. They are easy to drink. And we had a glass of prosecco as a pallete cleanser ;) we had a lovely time and enjoyed watching the people amd families trickle in. Surprised to see some kids. But it was fine. Will be back”

“Charming neighborhood wine bar with a limited, yet delicious bar menu. It has the ambiance of a small, vintage French cafe. It has a casual vibe and it appears the local residents really like it. Only a few tables, so don't expect to be seated between 4-7pm without a reservation. We had to book a few weeks in advance...and it was worth the wait.”
“I always make a stop here whenever I'm in Carlsbad! The coffee is excellent, and the sandwiches are always fresh and delicious.
The girls working there are amazing—so sweet, welcoming, and helpful every time I visit. They truly make you feel welcome.
The cafe is very clean, beautifully decorated, and has such a cute, relaxing atmosphere. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a coffee and unwind.
Highly recommend if you're in the area! ☕💕”
“I’m sitting in the restaurant right now having just finished an absolutely DELICIOUS meal. I’m going to just say it, best yellow curry I’ve ever had. Such a smoothness to the taste and everything cooked to the perfect tenderness. This is my first time here and it’s officially on my list of regular come-back spots”
“Really enjoy coming here. I’ve been twice for breakfast and twice for dinner. Both dinner occasions were special occasions, I enjoyed eating inside more for dinner and outside more for breakfast. Dinner inside is a bit quieter and the ambiance is great. Outside was nice too but bees would fly by for breakfast and then for dinner there was a single fly trying to get our food.
Overall love it here, the service is great and food is delicious. I want to try lunch items, the breakfast portions are much bigger than the dinner portions. My favorite so far was the Scottish salmon which was a bigger portion than the Korean beef. And then their quiche, and avocado toast as well as their specialty cocktails.”
“Absolutely spectacular pizza, in a special place with warmth and totally cool staff making everyone welcomed. If you think all pizza places are the same, think again. Corner Pizza has imaginative blends of fresh spices and ingredients that make each pie a special occasion. Add to that their excellent selection of local craft beers and wines, and it walks ahead of any other local pizza restaurant. Music and a mellow laid back patio tops it off. This is a very good place. You should try it. You'll be back.”
“Food was so delicious especially the pasta! Great vibes and atmosphere especially if you can snag a table outdoors. I made a reservation and arrived on time for a party of 3 (with a toddler). Host mentioned table was not ready, but maybe in 10 minutes. Waited outside, and I went to inquire after 15 minutes. Host still said wasn’t ready but will try to engage the manager if the party doesn’t leave in 5 mins. After 20+ mins past rez time, we were finally seated. The manager mentioned there was going to be bread and dip coming out and apologized for the wait, which was appreciated. However, after getting the bill, we were charged for it. We asked & they were quick to remove it. Would love to visit again! Knocked off a star due to the wait time and needing ask.”
“Lovely Michelin star dining. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. Thank you for making our 25th anniversary a memorable experience!”
