13 Best Burger Restaurants in Carlsbad

“fresh baked buns make all the difference. coffee shake, yum. got it in "Lil Moo" size“

“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!“

“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! ♥️😊“

“Good food for the price!!“

“It’s the Bomb diggity! Burgers, chicken nuggets, cheese fries with bacon and shakes all epic!“

“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!“

“So fun and delicious- what a great place! The vegi cauliflower burger was “the bomb”. Food and service - aka: David and his recommendations- were exceptional!!“

“Tray, the GM is so awesome and professional he was doing 2 cooks jobs, front of the house and cashier. Talk about a skeleton crew. This guys rolling on missing bones during the lunch rush! Tray kept his cool calm and collected like an old school GM. Give this man a raise well earned and deserved!!!“

“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!!“

“We come here periodically and the food is always great. We appreciate the healthy choices, especially for our kiddos too. Even the soft drinks are yummy. I especially love their sauces and the chimichurri that comes with the empanadas is to die for. Our kids were having a rough time on one of our recent visits - our toddler was crying - and Louie was so kind and understanding. He saved the day with a couple of cookies for the kids. There was also an odd alarm going off behind their building that made it a little unpleasant to sit outside, but he found the security guard and got the issue fixed right away, which felt above-and-beyond. Coming here is always a little treat for our family, and we will definitely be back. Thanks Louie!“

“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!!!“
