“I was greeted pleasantly at the wait to be seated area and was allowed to pick from 2 different tables. I picked a table that I could watch Messi in the world cup and also watch the planes land at Palomar airport. My drink order was taken immediately and not long after she put my food order in. I ordered a burger and Parmesan fries. I would have liked some free bread or snacks to eat while waiting for my burger. I was by myself and happy to see they allow dogs. I had a very good girl sitting at the next table over. Carlsbad Brewing Company has a very large selection of IPAs and beers of all kinds. The server helped me choose. She picked a good one. When my burger arrived it was the tallest burger I had ever seen. I had to smush it down a little to fit it in my mouth. Even with that I was making a mess. But it was one of the best burgers I've ever had so it was worth the mess. Even though I couldn't finish the burger I ordered the ice cream Sunday and it was also delicious. 10/10 would come again. Highly recommend.“

“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!!“

“Love love love food is great! I have to be gluten free unfortunately but it doesn’t feel like a pain here, well labeled menu, they have regular gluten options so my boyfriend can choose anything as well, he has tried my gluten free options and said they are also just as good, the gluten free buns are pretty decent but I prefer the bowls, I’m not big on gluten free bread, the buns are not gluten free by default you have to ask for that just fyi, we love the food every time, bowls are great, the peri peri sauce is my fave“

“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!!!“

“Definitely great burgers!“
