“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.“

“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! ♥️😊“

“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🥰“

“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.“

“We had a wonderful family meal here! The staff was so friendly and accommodating from the moment we arrived. Every dish we had was fantastic, especially the clam chowder in a bread bowl, which was truly excellent. I'd also recommend trying the pear with prosciutto.
My wife, our three kids, and I enjoyed the food so much that we actually had to ask for seconds! On top of the amazing food, the location right next to the ocean makes it the perfect spot.“

“Awesome the freshest sushi I’ve ever had“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“We were there a couple of weeks ago. We like coming here because we like the food & drinks. This particular day Rocky was our server. She stood out, her customer service was outstanding! Although she was extremely busy, she brought out everything promptly & was kind with each interaction. This made our experience pleasant, Rocky Rocks!“

“Was a great idea stopping to Islands Food was great and waitress so wonderful I really recommended Thank you“

“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!“

“I thought it was enjoyable. Not only the beer, but the brewery itself was unique. They did have a food vendor in the front, but I did not eat. They have mostly indoor, and a couple picnic tables outside which. It’s hard to compare this location with the other burgeon locations because they are all so different. Wish they would offer a Happy Hour or a featured/discounted beer like how Harland and Pizzaport does.“

“Restaurant is beautiful and clean. Food is priced right, presented nicely and delicious!“

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

“All aspects of the dining experience continue to be excellent. Valet service was lacking on this visit. Standing in two empty spots, the valet told us the lot was full, and that we should find free curb parking in the neighborhood. That proved impossible, so we parked in the paid beach parking lot and luckily avoided any major heart or back issues on the uphill trek to the restaurant. In the past, valets have hustled and queued street parking until spots were available. Last night's valet seemed to be mostly focused on minimizing effort to accommodate customers. I may have had to find alternative parking in the past in my 20+ years in the area, but don't recall ever being dismissed quite so brusquely and unapologetically. Certainly not at Vigilucci's! But disabled beach parking is only $7 with no one to tip, so we did save a few dollars there.“

“I had the Mediterranean crunch salad, and it was just okay. A handful of the greens in the salad were wilty or turning yellow, which is disappointing when you're paying $20 for a simple salad. My boyfriend got the red curry, which he said tasted like a backpacking MRE (in a bad way). Speakers out on the patio are unnecessary and music is too loud. Friendly service was a plus.“

“Desayuno muy rico cafecito y ensaladas deliciosas todo fresco ☕️😀“

“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.“

“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 🙌🏼🙌🏼👌🏼👌🏼“

“Great food, staff and atmosphere.“

“The bar area is a nice casual place to sit but with full menu options!“

“Got takeout it was good, I will suggest that the store train their people in cutting up a pineapple.
I've gotten a half a golf ball-sized chunk of pineapple core in two different meals.
I still will go back very tasty but I wish they would rectify that“

“Great drinks and authentic tacos.“

“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.“

“Nice environment and friendly staff. It could be that I’ve gotten used to large pours of lower quality wines but this is the smallest pour of Chardonnay I’ve ever had - for $18. And I do eat out a lot and go to wineries frequently. If price isn’t an issue definitely come here. Delicious Chardonnay.“

“Delicious and crispy! First time visiting, will definitely will be coming back. :)“

“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.“

“Karl Strauss Brewing Company is a great place to enjoy craft beer and a delicious meal. The beer selection has something for every taste, the food is fresh and flavorful, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Friendly service and a fun vibe make it an easy spot to recommend in San Diego.“
