Awesome rotating beer and food selections! Friendly staff. Good atmosphere. All the things of an awesome brewery.

Fun spot to grab a bite and really good brews Note: this is the only Burgeon location that has a dedicated kitchen and although I didn't personally order any food, all the plates coming from the kitchen looked delicious Recommend the Carlsbad Crush if you're looking for a datytime buzzer Cheers, Burgeon!

We read that the pretzel was "the best" so we ordered it. I am not a fan of pretzel but it was pretty good. . . prefer a little more crunch and definitely wanted more salt . . . was a good muncher while we waited for our food. It tasted like a bagel but in a different form. I preferred the white sauce to the mustard. I had the Korean fried chicken sandwich, which was pretty good. Funny that my top burger bun had a hole in it as if someone stuck a finger in there. (See my photo.) It came with a side of fries, which were excellent by the way. The fries are hot, crunchy, and taste like they are "double fried" like in Amsterdam. We also had a happy hour order of wings (which are on special on Wednesdays). We picked "Bama" wings. We enjoyed them, saucy! [My husband was here for Yelp Elite. I had a bite of his fried salmon nugget and fish taco. Both were good.] The kids "pizza" didn't have any tomato sauce and was like cheese flatbread that was disappointing. I wanted to ask the workers about it but we did not. We really loved the ambience. It has high ceilings and has the windows/doors open. It has outdoor patio seating, where people seem to bring their pets while eating. The place also sells t-shirts! It's like a sports bar so you see lots of folks just having a beer with or without food. Come check it out!

Had dinner and a show here. Funny story, the night I was here, two guys ran a bill over $100 and ran out on it. One of the staff ran after them and got them to pay it. Good for her, think she went above and beyond lol. Back to the review, the taco was really good, but the salmon karaage was not for me. Also order the chicken wing. Ot was too salty but it was very crispy. Some of the food was a hit or miss for me

Nice and cozy. But depending on where you sit, it can be hard to carry a good conversation. It's still a good place for a night outing!

I was here for a Yelp event and decided to grab some food to go. I decided to grab the Burgeon Burger and the KFC Sandwich. I also grabbed the Bama wings. Let me start by saying that I was blown away by the food here. Unfortunately no pictures as I took it to go and was very hungry. I cut the burger and sandwich in half so my gf and I could try both. I can say this could possibly be the best burger I've ever had and the sandwich was not far behind. I am definitely going back in person to try both of these and savour them. As for the wings with the white bbq sauce they are equally as top tier. Hands down a must try spot if in Little Italy. I was blown away by 3 separate dishes.

I really liked the fish taco and the pretzel. The kids "pizza" didn't have any tomato sauce and I'd call for a less liberal mixing of "pizza" and "flatbread" by restaurants and servers. My daughter love pizza but didn't touch this flatbread. The ambiance was kinda cool. I liked the vibe there with indoor-outdoor seating. If you just want some beers, this would be a great place to go. Re:service There is no table ordering and you need to wait in line at the register to order, however they do deliver to your table. The staff was friendly enough but the process led to awkwardness when I had to getup mid-meal and wait 5 minutes in line to order more fries.

I have been here a few times and the place is incredible! Delicious beers and food! The service is top notch every time I go, especially from Brittney. She is knowledgeable and helpful when picking out what type of beer you want and always very patient when I, or the people I am with are unsure what to order. I love coming here before a padres game because it is fairly priced and not as crowded as some of the other bars closer to the stadium. Thanks Burgeon, y'all rock!

There are three other locations. They have Trivia Tuesday and Wing Wednesday.We just missed their happy hour from 3-5pm M-T so we just got tasters and hung out.Loved that they offer variety of food like Korean fried chicken sandwich, Bavarian pretzel, and plant based impossible burger. The beers on tap have 3 sizes.I got 5 ounce Carlsbad crush which was too hoppy for me but if you pair it with food, it took the hoppiness down and a notch.Then I had the 5 ounce Invita - Mexican lager which was light and yummy. Tasted even better with food pairing.The location is at a corner. Literally a short block from the Sante Fe Depot trolley stop. All tables were bar height except for two tables in the corner.Friendly staff and great ambiance.Dogs are allowed in the patio. However, inside dogs are reserved for service animals.
Came here for an event, but ordered extra food on the side which are these items. The truffle garlic fries is what my brother ordered. Thought they were crispy can taste the garlic in it and a hint of the truffle oil, but my favorite would be these wu tang wings which were freshly, crispy, and flavorful. However I was expecting it to be more spicy. Wasn't spicy at all for me...whatever chili oil they used it was good. Maybe to some it could be spicy depending on their spice tolerance. And during the event I was given two diff. Flights of beer. One was the Carlsbad crush which stated on the menu that it pairs well with the wings!! Def. Can agree to that! Love the ambiance of the place. Open air, has a patio great for those with pets, and bar seating that faces the street. Service was great for a one man running the host, server, and bar section. Downside is the parking. You get lucky or you don't with the street parking. It can be a hefty price for the lots, like the one right across.

I was excited to try out Burgeon at the Arbor and certainly wasn't disappointed. Service was helpful and friendly. My partner and I ordered a Buffalo chicken wrap and a flight of beers to share and all were excellent. We will definitely be coming back and telling our friends about this option in the area. Tip: The patio is dog friendly.

Our first time here. Amazing food, awesome drinks. We ordered the Burgeon burger and KFC sandwich. They were wonderful. Great atmosphere, cool tunes, great gear for purchase! The BEST thing about our visit was our fabulous server KYLE. He made great suggestions and gave us the best attention. We appreciate him so much. Give that man a raise!! He's such an asset to your joint! We will be back to see him soon.

Came here last Wednesday evening with a group of friends and had a nice time. The ambiance is nice as the place is an open concept layout. It's great to feel the downtown atmosphere while in the restaurant. There is street parking and a paid parking lot across the street. The service was great, hence the 4 star rating I gave. The two guys working were super friendly and helpful. It was a busy night and they were hustling but still able to take care of everyone. The prices were pretty high. My glass of Sauvignon blanc (standard pour) was $14 before tax and tip. Same with the food. The burger was $20, nothing added, and to be honest was kind of basic. So be prepared to pay for being downtown. I feel like this place would be a great place to stop on the way to a Padres game in the summertime. Grab a beer before you head into the park.
