“Fun coastal ride today, lunch stop at The Hamburger Hut was PERFECT, per the super cool Bartender named Cisco, they think of it as in and out with a full bar! I noticed they had Old Forester Whiskey, but was on the bike, so could not partake, but will be back! Awesome parking lot for bikes. Good inside and patio seating. Burgers are smashburger style, fries are shoestring, buns are Kings Hawaiian, and everything is delicious!!! Ridden by this place countless times and had never been, it will be a routine stop now. Prices are excellent! You order at the window outside, then sit inside with a buzzer, if you sit at the bar (no minors) it is full service. Nice ocean views today and traffic was super easy! 👍”

4 Rosemarie's Buns & Brews

4.6 Superb 102 Reviews

608 South Coast Hwy 101, Encinitas

“Delicious food!!! Loved our burgers and fries. Each one was unique and super flavorful. Only downside was there were no seats in the shade outside. Our choices were to sit outside in the sun or inside the stuffy room that felt like there was no A/C. Lots of seating available, just none that were really comfortable.”

5 Modern Times Far West Lounge

470 S Coast Hwy 101, Encinitas

• Take-Out

“The top sections on the menu are 100% plant based, and the second half has meat options. It sounds like they used to be fully vegan, so it’s disappointing they added meat to the menu. I enjoyed the Munchwrap and the smash burger was pretty good. Next time I hope to try the flatbread—they currently have one plant based flatbread on the menu.”

“It's been a few years since I've been to a Jack...wow. I'm impressed. Excellent food, excellent service, spacious, comfortable dining room, clean restroom. One thing I noticed was the dining room is QUIET. There's music playing but there aren't 4 beeping alarms going off in the kitchen at all times. Keep up the good work!”

12 Carl's Jr.

3.4 Good 205 Reviews

1137 Regal Road, Encinitas

• Take-Out
• Delivery
• Drive-Through

“Ok…so I NEVER leave reviews for fast food restaurants. For a while I felt like Carl’s Jr went down hill. I would always order my favorite meal which is a Famous Star combo. However, the burgers were always lukewarm or just poorly made and I would never finish it. But THIS location had the best burger. The patty was HOT, juicy and with a perfect amount of salt. The lettuce and onions were crunchy and not wilted. Even the mayo and ketchup was hot and dripping. Literally reminds me of Carls Jr when I was kid. This is my first time at this location, so if I’m hungry and passing by, I’ll stop here. PLEASE keep making them this way.”

“I came through the DT on 8/31 at around 9:10pm and witnessed an extremely entitled and emotionally immature woman berate the person working at the window because of her drink. I had my window down for the entire conversation and he was nothing but polite and respectful. She flew off the handle and was literally screaming at him. I believe his name was Terreo, but I just wanted to shout him out here, as well as the young man who was working with him. He was pleasant over the speaker, and somehow still managed to be pleasant after that awful customer interaction. These people do not get paid enough to deal with that garbage, absolutely disgusting behavior displayed on her part. I hope management takes good care of him, no one deserves to be treated like that!”
