    Pastrami Ruben
    Che B.

    Holy sh@*!!! I was blind sided by this pastrami Ruben. I don't know how I missed it for so long but these guys know how to make a pastrami!!! Get here fast because if everyone reads this before you do you're gonna be right behind them in line. The other food was good too but I'm a pastrami snoop and this one hits!!!

    Came here to meet w friend that was moving out of state. He is a philly native and heard great reviews about the Philly cheese steak and saw that they use ambrosia rolls. He was very excited about this and i was too, since we used to go to Philly a lot when we used to live in east coast. The menu description of the Philly cheesesteak sounded promising. The employee that helped us also said this was the most popular sandwich. It was a big sandwich but i could already tell right away when getting it, that it was not a philly cheesesteak. The cheese was already coagulated and the meat was thick and tough. The bread was ok. I looked at our friend and the first bite was unfortunately disappointment. the sandwich was just ok. Got chicken tenders (small) for the kid and it was a huge portion, i ended up liking that better. He liked the beer. Not sure what he got though. The staff here are very nice. They are family friendly and offer high chairs. the place has a lot of TVs so if you want to watch a game, it will probably be showing there. There are changing tables in the bathroom if u need to change the baby. If we ever come back, i would get something else other than the Philly cheesesteak. There is a free parking lot but weekends would be busy.

    TOMBSTONE burger (I think). What I remember is that it had a ton of bacon and it was delicious.

    This place feels and looks like a sports bar/restaurant and if you want to drink beer and watch sports, you came to the right place. They offer plenty of local beers and boozy drinks. But it is absolutely family friendly, too. The food options on the menu are also plentiful. The pretzel bites appetizer was nice enough. The burgers are very, very good. I normally like to try different things at restaurants but I don't know if I would order anything here other than one of their very big and very juicy, flavorful burgers. They are excellent. With the burger, you get a choice of one of their many side options. The fries and rings were solid (and you should order that side instead of just the fries or just the rings) but why isn't anyone getting the huge bowl of bacon mac and cheese? It is absolutely delicious. I appreciate that you can select from one of their many sides. Service was excellent. Our server was great but we were also checked in on by at least two other workers. I am not sure they classify themselves as a sports bar and I do not know that it really matters. Come for sports, come for burgers, come for nice service, come for a family night out. It is a casual, friendly place with a lot of positives.

    Awesome little local bar located right in the heart of carlsbad village. They have an excellent beer selection, outdoor patio, good food and plenty of TVs to watch the game on! Those chicken avocado loaded fries are AMAZING!

    Cowboy Burger
    Kim S.

    Fun place, lots of TVs and the ambience was lively. My IPA was tasty but warm. That's a big red flag for me. We were all hungry and although the food was moderate, we gladly ate it all. The cowboy burger had good toppings, but the meat itself was a bit bland. I think our server must've been on a break because we waited a while for refills of water and to order the food. The garlic Parmesan fries were the star of the night.

    We usually stop here every time we are in Carlsbad... I do love the first responder stuff... I had a cheeseburger & fries...it's $5.00 off on Thursday's... Both staff members were friendly and very efficient... We walk everywhere in town... because parking is limited..

    Happy hour for padres games menu

    My second time here. Fantastic place to watch the game because of the food&drink deals, tons of TVs, and they play the sound of the game too. Our service was 10/10 (didn't catch the bartenders names but a woman with dirty blonde hair and one with curly black hair! Did a great job with our large obnoxious crew) The only reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars is that none of the sandwiches or burgers come with fries/a side so I ended up paying $23 without tax/tip for a pretty mediocre burger and fries. Also last time I was here, the menu was double the size with a lot of different options.

    Went here on a Friday night date and was super surprised that only a few people were there. However I absolutely loved it! Like how many places can you and get a hefty sandwich AND a glass of wine?! They have a good sized menu, which I look forward to trying all their sandwiches. I also noticed they do endless mimosas (2 hour limit) along with brunch. They have live music on the weekends and nights. I love the vibe of this place with supporting First Responders and Military aka "American Heroes". Great drinks Great food Great bartenders Great music Great atmosphere

There was a drink nearby, but no one was sitting there, and nobody in the group ever mentioned that the seat was being saved. What made the situation worse was the way it was handled by the owner. Instead of approaching us professionally, she appeared to be intoxicated and immediately became confrontational. She told us that we "didn't know who we were messing with" and threatened to have us kicked out over what was clearly a simple misunderstanding. As a business owner, professionalism and customer service should come first. There was no reason for customers to be spoken to in such a disrespectful and intimidating manner. A calm conversation could have resolved the issue in seconds. As we were leaving, even some of the employees apologized to us for the owner's behavior and the way the situation was handled. It was clear that they recognized how inappropriate and unprofessional the interaction had been. It wasn't like it was that busy, there was enough seating area. The owner's behavior created an uncomfortable and hostile environment over something that should never have escalated in the first place. Being threatened and spoken down to by the person who owns the business is unacceptable. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this establishment to others.

There's plenty of options in the area but what caught our eye, Park101's decked out for the World Cup games. "Let's go!" Parking? No parking lot of its own. You'll look for street or if looping isnt your thing, parking is available in the plaza across the street. What's the 411? Park101 is an order and pay at counter first. You'll get a number, find a seat and they'll bring the food to you. They have a nice courtyard. Plenty of TV's. We got in just before 3pm on a Tuesday and we had pretty much any table to choose from. We grabbed a seat in the shade and after 4 rounds of drinks and a 96 minutes of World Cup soccer we were set! I had the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. I've been to Philly, had some of the best by way of locals in Philly. Park101 is more of a Torta vibe. To call this a Philly sets certain expectations and this, although a good sandwich, is not a Philly. Overall, Park101 hits the spot. Great place to enjoy some food and libations, under the California skies. Catch a game and hang out.

The majority of the outdoor seating downstairs was in direct sun, compared to the upper deck that had a bunch of umbrellas. I assume this was because they didn't want to block the large TVs. They also have some indoor seating and a small bar downstairs. This appeared to be a very popular place for watching sporting events. You order food before you enter and drinks at the bar past the host stand. Food was decent. My husband got the fish and chips and it was a very generous portion of 5 large pieces of battered fish with fries. I got the tri tip arugula salad and made it into a wrap, which was ok. The tri tip was pretty subtle. We got our son the kids cheeseburger and while it looked really good, I was surprised that they would put pickles, mustard, and thousand island dressing on a kids burger. There were two cheeseburger patties on it, but just unfortunate with the toppings as a lot of kids are picky with sauces. The fries were seasoned well and crispy.

I enjoy trying the different ciders, hard kombuchas, and cocktails on the menu. The POG and Jamaica ciders are so good. And the employees do a great job with offering tastings of the different drinks on tap. Overall, we have always had an amazing experience every time we come.

The staff has always been friendly, and it's definitely a fun place to meet up for drinks. But honestly, I really don't understand the hype around the food here. I don't think I've ever actually liked a meal I've ordered, let alone loved one. Every time I give it another chance, I leave disappointed. Last night I ordered the steak bowl and it had almost no flavor. It also came with a ton of large broccoli stems that were undercooked and woody. For $25, it just wasn't worth it. At this point, if I come back, it'll probably only be for drinks or maybe happy hour apps.

    AT THE INTERSECTION OF REGRET AND REMORSE…read more At what point does a cover charge become just a discrete way of saying "you're not welcome, only tolerated"? Nothing humbles you faster than paying a $40 daytime 'cover charge' to sit uncomfortably with alchy-bros and their untreated mental health issues. We came to this Irish Tavern because...well... St. Patricks Day. The bouncer wouldn't let us in until we paid the extortion. It's no wonder millennials are broke. I didn't really wanna pay, but we found such a great parking spot... He took my cash and stuffed it in his pocket. For $40, we assumed something legendary was awaiting us inside. Is Cillian Murphy here? Or maybe a Glen Hansard cover band.? At the very least a Conan O'Brien blowup doll? Nope... just canned music playing over speakers that crackled like grandpa's radio. So there's no band... But, for $40 there better be at least something I haven't seen before. Perhaps they've summoned St. Patrick from the dead? Or figured out how to make everyone's red flags visually appear. Or how to uncrack an egg... Something! But nope, it was just like a regular day that wasn't $40 to get in. And here's the thing: the food and drink are ALSO more expensive than usual! So they already fleeced me for $40, and now two drinks are also $40? Two corned beef plates: another $50!? It was average to below average. It was like they took every Irish Tavern in the world, put 'em all in a blender, and hit puree. It was just... easy-to-chew mediocrity. Honestly, I've been to better pubs at Holiday Inn. As we walked out, the same bouncer was still collecting his shakedown fees. But this time the cover charge was only $10. Only 45 minutes later, the cover charge for the privilege of... well nothing... lowered exponentially!?! This isn't an Irish tavern, this is a scam with a jukebox. Pro tip: I've paid $40 for many things. A glow-in-the-dark toilet seat. A Texas-shaped waffle maker. A desktop punching bag for when Yelp takes down my reviews. But I'd rather pay $40 to NOT go to a mediocre Irish bar. Next year, I'm staying home to enjoy a $3 Guinness in my garage. No cover. Curated playlist. Parking's up front. Just me, my red flags, and zero regret.
