I definitely recommend the deviled eggs as an app. The blackened fish sandwich was very good. All of the dishes served to our group were delicious- no complaints. Prices are very reasonable. We'll return!“

“Loved their lattes! Quick service and great food“

“The food is as good as it looks! I couldn’t believe it when my parents asked me if I wanted to go to a Revolutionary War tavern replica & museum near the beach in northern San Diego. Like, huh? But the building reminded me of growing up on the east coast, and the museum reminded me of how lucky we are to have this country & those who fought for it. I loved the cozy interior with brick and wood. My parents are regulars, so they know the server, and he was super nice. They have a great Old Fashioned, and we all got the Seafood Trio (mine with double cod). The fingerling potatoes were to die for. It was all delicious. Amazing Caesar salad, too. Definitely had leftovers. Excited to go back for their happy hour. Can’t wait to try wagyu sliders, mussels, and clam chowder. Seriously, it all sounds good. Definitely worth a trip! And you’ll be back to try it all 😁“

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

“Some of the best ice cream I have ever had is served here at Handels. They had at least 30 different types of ice cream and so many cones. The serving size was SO big. My two sons ordered a two scoop in a dipped waffle cone bowl, and got served a 5 scoop and the cone was 3 times as big as it was in the picture. The service was also great. The girl who took our order gave a lot of recommendations and it was quick.“

“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 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.“

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

“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.“

“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')“

“Some of the best 🪴 BASED food I've had! Customer service is Amazing! They're no long wait for your food either! Highly recommend!“

“Amazing quality and delicious products.“

“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“

“I love the food and the ambiance.“

“Great pizza. On time delivery“

“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!“

“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. 🩵“

“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.“

“What a great end to the day! Meatball app to start. Could have used a straw to get the rest of the sauce it was so good. Kid got cheese pizza, girl got beautiful burger and I got delicious fish tacos. So many more items to try I hope I can go back. This beer menu is huge. My go to is strawberry blonde when I can find it. But kudos to a brewery that does sours too. I need a second maybe third trip to this brewery.“

“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.“

“Every once in a while you find a jewel. If you don’t love Italian cuisine then move along because after 25 years of dining around Carlsbad we have found a new place to call home. OMG all four of us had something different and we all agreed this is our new number one place to go. From the lasagna to the chicken parmesan with everything freshly made like you would not believe would swear that they’re growing it in the backyard of someone’s house. The drinks were master pieces and all I can say is we all had left overs because there was so much food.“

“Highly Recommended Miguel's Cocina Mexican Restaurants🥰“

“It's amazing. Simply amazing. Great customer service. Delicious sushi. Good music. Love love love.“

“Awesome the freshest sushi I’ve ever had“

“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!“

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

“I have eaten there many times. It's always good. I knew the Original Owners, years ago. It was great then and also now!!“

“First we appreciate a food place that organic I feel safe to eat at with having the same values in clean organic etc food and a plus is Enjoyed Conversation husband had with young gentleman made us more comfortable with busy environment and felt more welcome we talked to aidden and Aida who preps our food and nice presentation“

“1st timer here!

I read through the bad reviews and happy to share some advice. As far as wait time, it’s to be expected for this type of dining. I went in with the expectation of waiting, just check in and they will text when ready. As far as the quality, everything tasted fresh!! You get a full plate of veggies with tons of oils, sauces, and spice to add to your broth. Make sure to ask questions about the broth, some are simple so that you can add your preferred flavors. It seems like this isn’t a typical traditional hot pot set up and I’m totally okay with it. I actually enjoyed having my own pot and I was able to eat the entire thing.

Paid a little more for the premium meat, ribeye and short rib… I regret NOTHING! I guess I’m only sad that I didn’t have more of their pumpkin slices - pairs so well with the meat!!“

“pizza is delicious and wings are fantastic“
