We reserved a table on thanksgiving morning for brunch. it was a set menu buffet style. great service and the best brunch i had on this vacation. there was a sweet potato and ham dish which was delicious! it went perfect with my fried eggs and french toast. my kids were excited about the freshly baked cookies.. great view of the golf course and very easy to make reservations. great experience all round! thanks!! read more

Absolutely love this place for lunch...5 stars!!! Patio dining, the views, the staff and the food are all top notch. The menu is just not quite as good during other times of the day. read more

Party of 9 for Sunday brunch had a wonderful experience at Canyons. Brendon took care of our table, making sure we had refills in a timely manner & took a group photo of us. Everyone liked the food and the selections. View is wonderful, too. Will go back in the future. read more

The food is great. I highly recommend the pot pie and seared ahi salad. The service can be a little sketchy at times.

Great view of the golf course and the Pacific Ocean. Went one time on Saturday and ordered off their regular breakfast menu. I ordered the chilaquiles and they were the best I've had. During Sunday brunch, choices were limited. Steak hash (I believe that's what it's called), was extremely flavorful. They also have an omelette station and a little dessert section. Overall, it was well worth the price. read more

One of the best places to eat breakfast or lunch in North County hands down. From the beautiful clubhouse with incredible golf course and ocean views to the great service and food, this is the place to take someone if you're looking to impress. read more

Super lag on this review, but I had Easter Sunday brunch at $49.99 per person. OMG, for a brunch like that my friend and I both ate our hearts out. And it was a lovely brunch indeed overlooking the ocean and the green expanse of a golf course. There was lots to choose from varying from waffles, hearty omelettes, and other breakfast pastries. I'd definitely go there again. I'd like to try outdoor dinner seating there eventually. read more

Wonderful views, many good menu choices, perfect service - I enjoyed my girls' lunch very much!

Had the Po' Boy Lobster Sandwich which was pretty good but I would have preferred it if they had grilled the lobster instead of breading and frying. If you go here make sure you get the truffle fries they are amazing! Oh yeah also sit out on the porch b/c the view is just amazing. read more

Great place to eat lunch. I've ate lunch around 11:30 here maybe 10 times and sofar it has been good. Sometimes the food can take a while to get and sometimes they forget to refill the drinks. Over all it's nice. $11 for fish sandwich. Kinda pricey but mos def good. read more

Wasn't sure what to expect since I've never been to before - but I can just sum it up with - this is my new favorite place to take customers! Get there early, seating can be a challenge. I ordered the Bison Burger and it was by far the best I've ever had. The white-bean Hummus was to die for. Even the unsweetened tea didn't need sweater - it was just that good! Looking forward to next time. read more

Best lunch in North County.

What a disappointment. Been wanting to try this place for brunch so when I saw a Black Friday promo for buy 1 brunch get one free I was excited. Brunch and a deal. Easily made a reservation on Opentable, all of the time slots were available for reservations so that should have been my first clue. We arrived and were seated in a rather large room overlooking part of the course. The offerings consisted of a small room with about 8 hot serving stations. From memory, items included were french toast, sausage and bacon, potatoes, a hash and squash dish, a salmon dish, chicken pot pie and perhaps another item or two. In the same room were two cooks, there to prepare omelettes and slice the one hot meat which I believe was prime rib. In another separate room, there were quite a few bread selections, including some lox and bagels, three different green salad selections and a plate of pineapple and melon sprinkled with wilted strawberry slices. Was looking for some delicious cheese as it pictured by the chef here on yelp but there was none anywhere. A table with about 4-5 different desserts and some cookies concluded the dessert selection. Overall, the food was underwhelming in quality and selection. The hot items were no longer hot and didn't seem very fresh and two of the three omelettes made for our table came with a good helping of grease. One star for the breads that seemed moist and fresh and one star for the champagne, the waitress did refill our glasses several times. For the price of $25 dollars a head, I would definitely expect more especially when competing with Belle Fleur down the street. It might be more palatable at $15 per person instead. Had I not had a deal, I would have been not only disappointed but p.o.'ed. Lots of potential with the location and surrounding clientele but poorly designed and executed as it is now. Too bad, the area could really use a great brunch place. read more

Such a fun place for Sunday Brunch!! Bottomless mimosas, beautiful venue, AND amazing cheesecake? Yes please!

We used to love coming here, but hadn't been in awhile. My husband and I went for a rare day date, and were really disappointed with the food quality and service. Our $11 calamari order was so skimpy, more dipping sauce than actual calamari. We shared the BLT...it was OK. The chive aioli really overpowered all the other flavored and the side salad was drenched in bottle balsamic. Service was spotty. read more

Great spot for lunch if you work near college and faraday. Nice patio with view of golf course and ocean on a clear day.

Good selection of goodies. From barbecue pizza to chicken wings everything was delicious. The Hot Shrimp was the best thing at the table. Lots of fun and what a view! I recommend anybody to see the view and taste their treats. read more

We went here for the Sunday brunch. The food was good but not a whole lot of items to choose from. There was only about 3-4 lunch items and the rest was mostly breakfast stuff. The service was not the best, we finally got our drinks after eating our first plate and also each time I got up to get more food there were no plates in the area so I needed to tell the staff. I guess you can't complain too much for only $25. read more

First time here and our food was better than expected, that is rare! Great views as well!

I went to the canyons restaurant for trivia night. They had a tequila and taco special. I had got there before my friends arrived. I had seen that the lady next to me had the ahi tacos, I couldn't help but order some! The ahi tacos were amazing and I would come back just for them but of course I splurged when my friends arrived and we had some of the street tacos and local tequila, I was bummed that I didn't win anything during the trivia but I will be back for sure! read more

went for sunset happy hour ate beef, pulled pork and ahi sliders and truffle fries and fresh fruit. Sliders were okay, fries were good and fruit was fresh and delicious. Little dissappointed, web site happy hour does not match menu. Only 5 options for food. Ocean view was amazing. My 11 year old thought the fancy bathroom was very cool with lotions and mouth wash! Funny what kids notice! read more

Decent prices for alot of food. My dish was not good (egg/feta omellette), but my family loved their meals. All seats a privy to a nice view of the golf course. You can sit outside as well. The wait staff is friendly but a little slow. read more

Came here with the family for a Sunday lunch last week. I have been to Canyons numerous times during the weekdays for work lunches, but the hubby has been wanting to try it. Completely different vibe on the weekends, much more quiet with a lot of tables straight off the golf course. I got my usual, the seared ahi lettuce wraps, which is the perfect light lunch if you are not too hungry. Husband tried a chicken sandwich with half waffle fries half sweet potato fries and everything I tried was delicious. They were out of the sweet potato tots which I was very excited about, so maybe next time. Beers were $7 but they come in a huge glass (maybe 20 oz?), so not terrible for the price. If you are looking for a spot with a great view to have a nicer lunch and don't mind spending a little bit more (~$50 for 2 people with drinks), this is the place to go. read more

While the food and ambience were good, the service was extremely poor. After being seated we waited over 15 minutes to be acknowledged by anyone even though several wait staff walked by us numerous times. After ordering coffee it was another 15 minutes before it arrived. The plates were never cleared from the table but allowed to stack up. And our drinks were never refilled. I realize this was just a Sunday buffet brunch but service can make or break the experience. We drove over 80 miles for a very disappointing experience. Management needs to get involved and observe what's going on. read more

Should be 3.5 stars. Great view, much better than the pics on Yelp represent. Classy ambiance. Buffet was OK. High quality food, but small selection compared to many upscale brunches I've been to. Lower price makes price to value in this category very good. I was somewhat disappointed in service. They were clearly understaffed, and the wait for table service (drinks) was excessive. Staff was attentive when available. Highlights: Moroccan lamb hash, seared salmon, dessert selection, french toast. read more

Recently came by and played golf here. Afterward my buddies and I stopped by the Canyons for dinner. The food was phenomenal and the service was amazing and fast! This restaurant is my new go to when I'm in Carlsbad! read more

The place was nice but the service was not so nice. First the waitress sat my party outside and said that she would be back with utensils but she forgot to get us the utensils so we sat down with food and still had to wait for her to come around. I reminded her that she never brought us the utensils but that is okay we all make human mistakes. Then we asked to move to a table where the sun was at because the breeze was really cold and she said the only table available in the sun was still dirty but if we wanted to move to that dirty table we could. You would think common courtesy would be to get someone to clean it up for us to move there since it was already busy inside but she didn't offer to do that. I could have made a big deal about it but we just decided to leave instead. read more

Sunday brunch is one of the best in the area. Excellent for the price because it included mimosas or bloody Mary's. Great views over looking the golf course. I'll have to check out their happy hours sometime soon! read more

A fantastic place for lunch. Very nice, diverse menu and fast and friendly service. I've ordered the pasta dishes as well as the sandwhiches on various occasions...they have never disappointed! read more

Second lunch visit. Great view! Delicious food! Friendly staff! Unusually fast, and unusually inexpensive. Our waitress, by the way, was Julia. read more

Great location and view. The staff is friendly and the seating is spacious. You have plenty of room to back your chair out and to move about. It's quiet and peacefull. I hate restaurants that pack you in. We're been here for Sunday brunch and for lunch. Brunch is good with fresh food. Nothing left out long to get stale. It's a great place to eat. Much better than the chain restaurants at the outlet mall. read more

I've been going there for a couple of years and really love the good food, drink, fair prices and I especially can't say enough about the staff and how friendly and accommodating they all are. Don't forget the great golf course. If you like a challenging course with great canyon views and beautiful sunsets this is the place. read more

This is my favorite place to go for a late afternoon beer or even an early dinner. They also serve a great breakfast and lunch. Officially they don't do dinner, but they are open till the golf course closes and they serve hearty appetizers while you watch the sunset. read more

I enjoy going to Canyons. I have been there many times. The view is great. The food is good. The service is average, but they try. Today I went for Sunday brunch. It was great. Sat outside in the sun. Great view of the ocean. Very enjoyable. read more

What a disappointment. I've heard good things about this place, but I wasn't impressed.The inside was kind of nasty. The floor needed to be swept and the walls were in serious need of redecorating. The person taking my order wasn't very friendly and was pretty short with me. When I finally found a table that looked clean enough to sit at, it took a long time for my food to get to me. After a while I went up to the counter to find out that my food had JUST started cooking. It wasn't even good. Half of the fries were undercooked. The meat had a weird taste and a funny color on the inside. I didn't finish it. I definitely won't be coming back here. read more

This was the best brunch on our vacation. We travel all over the world and have eaten at many restaurants. The food was simply amazing. Our server Ryan Helm was excellent as well. He gave exceptional service and went above and beyond to tell us what to do in the area while visiting. We ended up going back to visit 3 times while there for the week because of the great service we had from him. We will be sending all of our friends and family! read more

On October 28 we had the opportunity to have lunch here with some former neighbors of ours from Connecticut. WOW! Loved the view, scenery and peaceful setting! The food was delicious and the prices were very reasonable! Our waitress, Lisa, was a gem! She was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. If our neighbor, Carl, were here right now he would tip his hat to her! read more

rating is still the same. but i would like to mention that the manager at Canyons did reach out to us and certainly assured that our concerns were noted. read more

My wife and I went there yesterday for the Sunday brunch. We asked to be seated outside and had a lovely view of the golf course. Hostess seated us but no server showed up. My wife finally went inside to request a server. There was one omlett station and one carving station with poor quality prime rib that was rubbery and fatty. There were very few selections. Best part of the brunch other than the view were the unlimited glasses of champagne and mimosas. When we were finally ready to leave after two hours, I had to go inside the restaurant to request the server so we could pay and leave. We will not be returning. read more

If you are ever in Carlsbad California. As I was with my sister's last weekend visiting Camp Pendleton. USMC. Stop by The Fabulous restaurant with great food beautiful viewsat Crossings golf course. What a Delight.... Cyrus our amazing, attentive, Charming, knowledgeable fabulous server. Refreshing to experience a young person knowing what Hospitality means. In the food industry all my life if I had a place near there I'd make sure he was working for me. It wasn't absolutely delightful. read more
