    MDC burger
    Don B.

    Lately at the office we have been on a burger kick trying all the popular burgers joints in the Carlsbad/Oceanside area. Recommended by a coworker I recently had the pleasure of visiting MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes. With so many options I always love to go the traditional route on any first time visit to get a sense of the meat quality, toppings and bun taste. Their signature burger is the MDC which consists of a Double Certified Angus Beef, American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, MOOYAH Sauce on a Signature Potato Bun. This burger was perfect, two good sized beef patties cooked to perfection, melted cheese and just enough sauce to not overtake all the goodness. The bun really stood out as MOOYAH uses a potato bun and it was really fresh and buttery. I think the bun is a difference maker in terms standing out from other burgers I have had in the past. With a combo you get a generous portion of fries which were decent as well as a refillable soda cup. This combo meal got me stuffed and the value was spot on. Definitely put MOOYAH on your hamburger destination list as you will not be disappointed with its vast menu of burger options. Fun fact about Mooyah is that they started in Texas and this Carlsbad location is the first in California as part of the westward expansion.

    1rst time here at Mooyah Burgers. Busy spot. The burgers had a nice soft brioche bun & a medium sized well seasoned burger. You can make your own burgers. I am not a sauce gal so I passed on the Mooyah sauce. Had a mint chip shake which was thick & tasty but an abundance of chips made it hard to sip! The manager was very friendly & touched base with all the tables. Order & pay at the counter. Ample parking. Tucked next to CVS in a strip mall on Camino Real close to the Carlsbad mall.

    Great local spot to get some freshly made burgers. Been back a few times and I think I've found my favorite combo: turkey iceburger with sweet potato fries and lemonade. The regular burgers are good too, though I still don't like their bun, hence the sub for iceberg lettuce. Service is always friendly. Good amount of seating with wireless chargers available.

    Was just what I wanted! Fresh burger cooked to order. You can make it your own way or choose from their options for toppings. Not too greasy, but a good juicy burger with fresh cut fries served hot!

    My first experience here was terrible, bad communication, burnt fries and our burgers were not even warm, just room temperature. We placed an online order since we were close by at a nearby coffee shop, we went over to pick up our order. We stood by the pick up counter and were ignored. No greeting or we will be with you shortly, nothing. They weren't even busy. We waited for 10 minutes and asked an employee walking by about our order. It was just sitting on the counter getting cold. We ordered the patty melt burger, hot bacon jam burger, the family sized fries and a couple of shakes. The burgers weren't even hot, the fries were most burnt ends and tasted like they were cooked in super old fry oil. Absolutely awful. Someone reached out to us to share our thoughts and we told them what happened. They sent us gift cards to give them another try, we did and but it became such a hassle to even use them. The staff was unaware they offered gift cards, they didn't want to honor the gift cards, and then decided to only give us a partial discount. We were told we had $40 to spend and were only able to use part of it. There was so much confusion and miscommunication just to give them another chance, it was not worth it. The food isn't great, the shakes were okay, but stay away from their fries.

    You can order at the counter or on the kiosk. We prefer to order from a real live human. This is the menu on the counter.

    Today was our third time visiting Mooyah burgers. We went there once when it first opened & it was okay, (think they were still working out the kinks). The second time was a few months ago and today was due to the request of our uber picky son who asked to come here for lunch. We ordered at the counter and grabbed a seat. In a few minutes our buzzer was going off and the husband went up to the counter and grabbed our food. Everything was good. Fries were hot and crispy and looked like they came from actual real potatoes(not pushed out through a machine), husbands burger with potato chips was really good and my chicken tender sandwich was delicious too. The last two times I ordered the mushroom Swiss burger and I really liked that as well. The kid gobbled down his food and the majority of my fries too, so I'm guessing that he liked his food a lot. We also got him a cookies and cream shake, which he loved. The hubby said it was very thick and it didn't look like they skimped on the Oreos at all. This place is always busy, but they seem to be actively cleaning off the tables and people are going in and out quickly, so seating has never been an issue. There's also extra seating outdoors, if you're so inclined. A gentleman, (not sure if it was the owner or manager), but he came out from the kitchen and checked to see if everything was alright. We nodded and grinned with our mouths full. Everything was on point today! We shall be back Mooyah. My old man said that he's ordering the patty melt next time. It did look pretty yummy on that poster! I'll try to remember to take pics before we devour our grub next time, but no promises!

    Bread is nice and soft
    K C.

    First time here. Easy to read the menu. Just enough choices. Fries are amazing, burger is good too just don't wait too long to eat it. The bread gets soggy and everything slips off. Very tasty though. They will eventually need a bigger place. Nice job guys

    I had just finished seeing a movie at the nearby mall, and prior to that, a hike at Hosp Grove, so I was starving! MOOYAH to the rescue! The burger was ample (if a bit greasy), tasty sweet potato fries, and I got a free cookie, which was delicious! The staff was excellent and very kind to the folks who came in after I was seated at one of the spotless tables. It felt like community. This place is a keeper, and next time I'm getting a shake!

    Bacon cheeseburger
    Heci L.

    Adult and child finished their burgers with no complaints and would be willing to come back. Ranch sauce was free. Mooyah sauce is similar to ranch mixed with ketchup. Parking was plentiful and easy to find. Seating might be a little tricky as there seems to be a steady stream of customers dining in. Not a fan of cold buns, not sure if can ask them to heat it up on the grill. French fries were unseasoned and unevenly fried - some were crispy and some were mushy. Kids still enjoyed them.

    Mango Lemonade?
    AJ S.

    Ordered the bacon cheeseburger. Kind of average taste. Bread is a little too soft so it got a little soggy. Fries are tasty but with they were more crispy. Service was fine, the owner asked how it was and I said, "good" with a thumbs ups. Seating inside and a few tables outside. Pretty quiet. The Mango Lemonade was tasty and refreshing not too sweet.

    Little MOO Shake mint chocolate chip
    Dominic B.

    I love me some in-n-out, but if you're looking for a switch up, look no further than MOOYAH. My go-to order is just the cheeseburger which uses a soft potato bun, a beefy patty and topped with delicious MOOYAH sauce and classic veggies. They also offer a number of different burger options to your liking. I also think it's nice that they offer either fries or chips as the side in case you're craving one or the other. I tried their Mooshake which was just okay, not as thick as I thought. The chocolate chips in the mint chip shake are also too large to go through the straw, so you need a spoon to eat this. There's a decent amount of seating inside and outside and the staff are all incredibly welcoming and friendly! I'd definitely recommend MOOYAH for their solid burgers and fries!

    We were visiting the Flower Fields and were craving a good, juicy burger. We had seen Mooyah Burgers, Fries & Shakes on social media and decided to stop by and give it a try--and we're really glad we did. Let's just say this was one of the best burgers I've ever had. My pregnant wife absolutely loved it and even joked that the baby was happy too. We ordered the MDC Burger and the Mushroom Swiss Burger, and both were incredible. The burgers were juicy, delicious, and packed with flavor. Everything tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. The fries were amazing--crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, exactly how fries should be. I also had an Oreo shake, and it was thick, creamy, and absolutely delicious. On top of the great food, the service was excellent. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made the experience even better. If you're near the Flower Fields and craving a great burger, Mooyah is definitely worth the stop. We'll definitely be coming back!

    MOOYAH Cheeseburger & Shareable Hand-Cut Fries
    Yvette S.

    So good! Visited for the second time here while in the area and it was delicious. Fresh ingredients, really soft bun and flavorful, their fries are good. I love that they have the skin on them and aren't greasy. Service was great, the owner is always super attentive and nice to everyone that comes in and checks on them. It's a family oriented place with wall lined seating and charging stations along the booths super nifty! Patio seating in a warm day and friendly atmosphere.

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.

My husband and I stopped in to Frankie's on a recent Saturday at 5pm. Our kiddo had a performance down the street at 6pm so we had a little time to kill beforehand. The neighboring spots looked busy so we decided to go with Frankie's, seeing as they were less inundated at the time and we had a time constraint. Another allure was the sandwich board at the front door advertising discounted cocktails - sold!! Inside there were a handful of patrons at the bar, another table with two additional patrons and maybe a couple on the patio so it was fairly quiet and slow, so it looked promising. We headed up to the bar and hung out behind two empty barstools, the single female bartender greeted us and said she'd be right with us, but then continued chatting up the seated patrons, serving them and their friends that had just joined (AFTER we'd arrived). We moved a little further down to the handoff area where she was making drinks to save her having to come back to us again, and stood there for probably 10 minutes while she took orders and made all the drinks. We commented that she looked like she could definitely use a hand, and she said they were still adjusting into summer hours and determining whether more coverage was needed at this time - I figured 5pm on a Saturday should be primetime, so I'm not sure in what universe having a single bartender makes any sense. Finally we placed our cocktail orders, waited while they were made, and then put our card down for the tab. After we'd paid, I noticed the cocktails were more expensive than advertised on the sandwich board out front - I couldn't find a disclaimer anywhere that said only certain cocktails were included, so while it was a bummer I wasn't about to wait another 10-15 minutes to catch her attention and ask for clarification. Just a heads up to beware of whatever is advertised that might summon you in from the sidewalk, and make sure you ask before you make your selection. Drinks were very subpar, nothing special to write home about. While I can appreciate the Gatsby-esque vibe they're trying to uphold at Frankie's, they really should increase their staffing especially during prime weekend and evening hours, and be more transparent about their specials and what's included and what's not. Hindsight is 20/20, and the low volume of patrons when everything else around it was going off was probably a sign, so we'll skip Frankie's our next go around.

    My friend and I came here with our two daughters after a late-night soccer tournament game. We left…read moretalking about how great the entire experience was. Jacob was our server, and he was fantastic. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever making us feel rushed. Later, Kaitlyn brought out our butter cake, and what started as a quick interaction turned into one of those unexpected conversations that give you a different perspective and refresh that we all need every once in a while. The food was just as impressive. We started with the Spinach & Artichoke Dip, which was the perfect appetizer. For dinner, we ordered the Center Cut Filet, Cha Cha's Spicy Rigatoni, and the Buttermilk Fried Chicken. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and something we'd happily order again. If you're thinking about dessert, do yourself a favor and order the butter cake. It absolutely lives up to the hype. What stood out most, though, was the people. Working in a restaurant can be overstimulating and exhausting. Everyone we interacted with was kind and welcoming. It's easy to enjoy a great meal, but it's the people who make you want to come back. From the service to the food to the atmosphere, the entire team is doing an incredible job. Thank you to Jacob, Kaitlyn, the manager, kitchen staff, and everyone else who made our evening so enjoyable. We'll definitely be back.

We started with the shrimp taquitos, which were crispy, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The ribs were tender, generously portioned, and coated in a rich, delicious sauce. The sandwiches were excellent too, and the roasted cauliflower and honey coleslaw made the perfect side. This is definitely a spot I'd recommend for dinner with friends, a date night, or a special occasion. We enjoyed every part of our meal and will absolutely be back!

    I was in Oceanside while my husband was working nearby and decided to stop at LTH for lunch. This…read morewas one of my first times actually sitting down and dining by myself, and I'm so glad I chose this place! Parking was a little rough and the lot was FULL, but I took that as a good sign I went around 2pm on a Wednesday and there was a nice mix of families, couples, etc. You can sit inside, at the bar, or outside in the sun or shade. I chose outside in the shade and it was quiet, relaxed, and really comfortable. I ordered the Dirty Bird and it was SO good. The chicken was crispy outside, juicy inside, not oily or dry. The coleslaw was fresh and crunchy, the fries were nicely seasoned, and it was a good amount of food. They happily put my pickles and hot honey on the side too. I asked for ginger ale and they offered ginger beer instead, which was a pleasant little surprise! The menu has a ton to choose from. I actually wished I had people with me so I could try more things And for my fellow IBS friends, the women's bathroom has TWO stalls. These are important details!! I'd absolutely come back and bring my husband. Although he ate my leftovers, so I'm still a little mad at him.

    The Quinoa burger was decent, and the shrimp & sausage fettuccini was pretty good... but we don't…read morethink we'll be back. It took a while to be seated, and a while for our waitress to finally come over. With hungry children, that time is precious to us. The pretzel was honestly awful. It's covered in pepper, and their attempt at doing that appetizer elegantly just fell flat. The Old Fashioned was a miss. We left wishing we had gone somewhere else... especially for the price.

    Outstanding Dining Experience in Carlsbad!…read more We booked a large group reservation here during our Carlsbad/Legoland trip, and the team was incredibly accommodating from start to finish. The ambiance was absolutely fantastic, delivering a polished, fine-dining experience with very reasonable pricing. The meal was overall delicious, and while there are already plenty of five-star reviews, a few specific details stood out to us: The Starters Excelled: We actually found the creative appetizers and starters to be the absolute highlight of the meal (my favorite was the oysters but everyone had their own!) , even outshining the more expensive entrees (notably the steak which was a little underwhelming, though the fish was good). The Famous Broccoli Lives Up to the Hype: Yes, the roasted broccoli was truly exceptional! Superb Drinks & Kid-Friendly Touches: The craft cocktails were delicious, and we appreciated that they are highly accommodating to families with a dedicated kids' menu. Room for Dessert Improvement: The only miss of the night was the baked Alaska, which we didn't particularly love. I think I would try the Smores and/or head over to the nearby ice cream shop for another local flavor. Overall, it is a wonderful, highly versatile restaurant that we would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area. We can't wait to return!

I would say campfire focuses on flavor blasts, with enhancement of the food through certain garnishes and sauces. The portions are not very large, but they are filling depending on how many different items you get. Our server was very kind and helped guide us on our journey. We had an outdoor table around 6:15 PM and it was absolutely gorgeous. Inside seemed nice too, but I did enjoy outside more due to the calmer and quieter atmosphere. I would highly recommend trying this place out with a group of four.
