Carlsbad Brewing Company

If you're a local and haven't visited yet, I highly recommend you stop by at least once. The views of Carlsbad are truly unique, and there’s a lot of fascinating memorabilia from the old CB Raceway. The beer selection is fantastic! They offer an impressive variety, and their in-house brews are delicious, especially the strawberry one. As for the food, it's decent, but it's not really worth the prices they charge. If you're there and feeling hungry, go ahead and eat! However, if you're aiming for the best culinary experience for your money, you might want to consider dining elsewhere.

The menu offered a good variety of options. Three members of our party ordered salads—two beet salads and one arugula with mozzarella (I can't recall the exact names)—all of which were large and fresh. One person had the meatball sliders and enjoyed them, noting the fluffy, fresh buns and tasty marinara sauce, accompanied by a side of onion rings. I opted for the Kobe beef burger. While the flavor and quality were decent, I was extremely disappointed with the bun, which was dry and likely over-toasted, crumbling in my hands before I could even take a bite. This made it nearly impossible to eat since there was nothing to hold it together, and the crispy onion pieces fell out immediately. I'm not sure if all the burgers use the same bun, but I wouldn't order one again. I also upgraded to the parmesan garlic fries, but I wasn't too impressed with those either. Although the toppings were fresh and flavorful, the fries were mostly soggy and seemed a bit undercooked. Overall, it was enjoyable to try a new place, and it would be a fine spot for drinks and dinner with friends thanks to its relatively large and eclectic menu for a brewery. However, if I’m going to spend that much on a burger and fries, I’d rather go to Copper Kings for something I know I'll love. Vegetarian options: A variety of salad choices are available.

This place has an amazing location for plane spotting at Carlsbad Airport, an exceptional selection of beer and wine, and the best food I've experienced at a brewery in San Diego County. The entire staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, especially Kenzie, who has a fantastic attitude that can brighten anyone's day. Steel is the top beer tender around. I highly recommend checking out this spot!

First time here. We live in Oceanside and we were meeting a friend in Bressi and this seemed like a great option based on the reviews and photos.Everything on the menu sounded so good. Here 's what we ordered: Ribeye Burger $20)Description shows habanero jack but there was nothing spicy about this at all. It has steak sauce on it. The meat tasted great. Bottom bun was a bit soggy and top bun was thin crispy. Kinda weird. Still tasty. Also ordered Parmesan Garlic fries $2) but I would pass on ordered these again. Just not a fan... Irish Fish Chips $18)One piece of fish. It 's ginormous. Fries are big steak fries. Very tasty and I wish I ordered this. Southern Fried Chicken Sammich $16.96)Our friend ordered it without the sauce which was a terrible idea. It really needed a sauce! Can 't review it much because of that, but it sure was crispy. Mac Daddy Mac Cheese $14 $6 for Chicken)This was just okay. I LOVE mac n ' cheese in general think Velveeta) but this was not it. There was barely any chicken in it. Noodles were hot like the sun and there just wasn 't much cheesiness about it. Kinda disappointing.We had several beers and ciders, all good but we noticed none of our glasses were filled to the top. Kinda feels like we got gypped a bit.Overall, we really liked this place. Food was good minus a few tiny gripes. We would definitely like to come back and try more stuff.

What a gem! A wide selection of tasty beers and really amazing food! I ordered the Santana burger with a veggie patty and was very pleasantly surprised to find out they make their own delicious (and massive! veggie burgers in-house! My mom got the ahi sandwich, and both were great. Will be back!Vegetarian options: There are several vegetarian options on the menu, and they even make their own delicious (and massive veggie burgers in house!
