Absolutely delicious flavor! People really need to check this place out! They are working on getting their liquor license, but I will tell you it is definitely worthwhile. You guys should definitely make a pitstop because the amount of flavors and hard work that they put into their burgers goes without words so check them out. Great vibes and atmosphere. The workers were also nice. read more

Super awesome place to go with the kiddos. It's a family friendly restaurant with a great outdoor patio area for the kids to play before or after eating. The burgers were great! Sliders on a nice brioche bun. They were maybe a tad too oily for me but overall delicious. I think the only drawback was the fries. It has so much potential but it was undercooked which made the blue cheese bacon fries a bit lackluster. Brussels sprouts were good but not to die for. Overall we'd come back for a bite again! read more

Loveee. Ordered food here for the first time- takeout , so enjoyable and memorable a new top favorite. Loved all the sliders we shared. The chicken was perfect, so tender and juicy. I think one slider is filling enough with all the well combined ingredients. Their fries with corn were something different and worth the try i loved! read more

Such a cute new spot! Rosemarie's was the perfect find for our book club. We sat in the back and loved how spacious it felt. The sliders were delicious and definitely the highlight! They don't have their liquor license for beer yet, but I was happy with my iced tea for now. Kane was so sweet and welcoming. He even brought our food out to us after we ordered at the counter. It got a bit chilly in the back, so bring a sweater until they get some heat lamps! Can't wait to come back for a round of drinks once the bar is fully open. read more

This interesting spot shares building space with Gelati $ Peccati (and if you haven't had the latter's pizza, go there now--right now--and get some. It is terrific). Rosemarie's is all about sliders and they are done nicely. For a hefty $18 (at this writing), you get two good-sized sliders. I suppose two of these sliders probably equals one burger. Inflation is crazy these days but I suppose $18 is about right for a burger, currently. The nice part is you get to pick two sliders from about 10 or more different slider creations. You can get a very nice "normal" type burger or something very different like the soft shell crab one. For you soft shell crab fans out there, this slider is excellent. It was nicely cooked and had a heap of coleslaw on top. Don't be put off by how the crab looks. You can eat the whole thing. The RosieMac is supposedly made with wagyu. It is a nice burger but mine was a bit overcooked which sort of kills the flavor and the juiciness factor. They don't ask you how you want them cooked so I guess you get 'em how they want you to get 'em. The Round Up is like a Western bacon cheeseburger with an onion ring. This one had a lot more flavor than the Rosiemac. The Classic was fine. The fries are heavily seasoned and are very good. You get a ton of them so two or three people can easily share them. The housemade ranch was weird and not strongly flavored. Just use the stuff from the grocery store, guys. No booze at this location just yet although their menu suggests booze will be coming. I would probably return to try some of their other sliders. read more

So good! My boyfriend and I were spending the day up in Encinitas and happened upon this place when we were walking around looking for lunch. I love that you can mix and match the sliders because it is always hard for me to decide on just one. Between my boyfriend and I we had the Little Sal, The Gnar, Captain Jack, and Cajun Softshell Crab. They were all insanely delicious. Being from Maryland, we both especially enjoyed the Old Bay slaw on the crab slider. We also tried the Elote Fries which I would definitely order again. The owner happened to be there the day we went and was raving about their wings so he gave us some to try on the house, they were great! He also came by our table later to check on us. Service and food 10/10. Happy to see there are also locations in mission and ocean beach so we can go more often. read more

Rosemarie's Buns and Brews - Burgers Near Me - Encinitas, California

This place was OK. I really wanted to like it. I mean who doesn't love sliders? I had the Rosie and the Cajun soft shell crab sliders. Hubby had the Nashville hot chicken and the little sal. We also got a side of half onion rings and half fries to share. I was excited. The Rosie was really good. Nice flavor and gooey cheesy goodness. But the crab slider was super bland. No flavor whatsoever. When you say Cajun to me, I'm thinking flavor and spices. But this had nothing. Maybe a splash of cumin but that is about it. Onion rings and fries were good. It was super expensive for what it was. $50 some odd dollars for four sliders and a side of onion rings / fries at a fast food restaurant. It was a hair steep. Not sure I would ever come back. read more

I've been here twice now. The food is tasty but greasy as can be. The last time I had the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich and I ended up taking all the breading off before eating the sandwich to cut down on the grease that was dripping out with every bite. I'm not sure if it's recently changed or not, but when I went there were no BREWS. The fries are spot on. The ambiance is great and the service is fast and friendly. read more

Very very tasty food. If you are not that hungry, you can get one. But the 2 pack is the best as you can change flavors. Burgers are delicious! Sliders? White Castle looks out. These are what sliders should be. My dad says "they don't skimp on the meat". He is raving about them. Firies were tasty and with a sprinkling of paprika too! Madi and Kane gave us excellent service with a huge smile and explained their product well. We will be back for sure. A great fast, delicious, experience. read more

When you get older, anything new opening has the unfortunate distinction of being compared to a growing lifetime of both fantastic experiences and opinionated nostalgia. So, while I believe Rosemarie's Buns and Brews is both very delicious and worthy of repeat visits, I also can't get the fact that it is haunting the shell of what was once a popular and beloved Angelo's Burgers. With that shadow in my mind, I still have to say that the burgers here are pretty fantastic. The menu is extensive, with an impressive range of proteins from the standard Wagyu to a triple decker fried eggplant to an entire soft shell crab on a grilled bun. Not only is there something for everyone, but there are items to help push the boundaries of what a delicious slider can be. I started with "The Award Winning Rosiemac", a simple slider with a Wagyu patty, cheese, mayo, and onion confit. It was messy, salty, and very delicious. The meat was cooked well, a flavorful outer crust while staying juicy throughout. The onions were soft and sweet. That cheese had melted to the point of being perfectly gooey. And the sauce was a nice mixture that brought a great salty and umami taste and brought it all together. I paired it with The Captain Jack, a slider piled tall with three large grilled shrimp, each plump and juicy with a great bite to them. The pickled cabbage was slightly sweet and tangy. The whole of it was slightly smokey, fresh tasting, with a nice texture that popped in the mouth with every bite. Also on our table were a serving of their Beer-Battered Onion Rings, which were a pretty standard version of this side. Some Red Chili Pork Fries, which would not have been my first choice when ordering loaded fries, and this did little to change my mind. And a serving of their Big Ole'classic Fries which helped showcase how good their ranch and aioli sauces could be. As for the rest of my clan, the wife had the Double Rosiemac, which she simply thought was 'okay'. My son ate The Gnar, a fried chicken thigh marinated in Teriyaki sauce with slices of pineapple, which he enjoyed quite a bit. And he also had the Nashville Hot Chicken, which proved too spicy for him. I had the pleasure of eating the rest and while I found the flavor a bit bland, the chicken itself was perfectly fried; juicy on the inside, with a crust reminiscent of a flakey and crispy Karaage-style breading, that was fantastic on a sandwich. And my daughter had the Kids Chicken Poppers Meal, which she only ate a little bit of, but I personally really liked. The chicken was ground, mixed to the point where the interior of each popper felt light and airy when chewing through the well fried crust. Not only were they pretty good, but they also reheated well the next day. All in all, we had a very impressive dinner here. Not everyone was thrilled with their food, but I liked everything enough to want to come back. And with options like a blue cheese chicken sandwich, a burger with bacon whiskey sauce, and those tantalizing eggplant or soft shell crab sliders still yet to try, I can easily see myself driving back down to Encinitas to try again. I'm just going to have to go to Oceanside first to visit the Angelos there for a burger. read more

Rosemarie's Buns & Brews in Encinitas is so nice. The location is painted in a light blue grey color and they have dark blue picnic tables outside. They also have an enclosed dining space and then past that is where you order. So, it is quite spacious. They are a dog friendly (outdoor) and kid friendly space. They even have a tv mounted outside in one area and the tables are pretty flexible for location. I did see two men pick the table up to move it into the sun. I've been to Rosemarie's before in OB with my friends & they were recommending me what they ordered. So, in Encinitas, I decided to try ~$9, The Luau Slider! It's a wagyu slider with pepper jack cheese, onion confit, teriyaki grilled pineapple, house pickled cabbage, Korean bbq + kewpie mayo, on a turano brioche. The wagyu slider for me was quite crispy and thin, I'm unsure if it was supposed to be like smashburger vibes? I didn't mind it though because the crispy edges of the burger plus the juicy grilled pineapple contrasted very well. The use of pepper jack cheese was a good choice since you have that deliciously cooked down onions and sweet pineapple. I wasn't able to taste the Korean BBQ on the luau, but I'm sure if I asked they could have given a little more -- no biggie! 4/5! My aunt had the $8.50, Filet O Mahi Mahi. She let me taste it and omg it was delicious! The fish was beautifully cooked and flaky. The tartar sauce 101% carried the slider. It was so good. I loved all the seasonings and herbs they used in it. 5/5. We also shared the ~$14, Classic Onion Rings! Was given homestyle ranch with a squirt of their chipotle aioli... that little taste was delicious. I'd ask for a container of that next time. We also got ketchup! They gave a lot of rings and they were fried! Not greasy and the perfect amount of batter coated the onions. Some places make it gummy on the inside, but this had a really nice crunch to it. It wasn't overly seasoned with salt either, it did say that it's dusted with smoked paprika! 10/5!! The workers were all very kind and the space was very clean and organized. The food came out in a timely manner and nicely presented as well. I would probably try their fries or the Bombay Hot Chicken next time. I think these sliders, or as they would call it "Lil' Masterpieces" are worth the price! They have so many choices, from classics to more elaborate and unique combos -- something for everyone. read more

I've gotten a bit agoraphobic since the Covid pandemic. part of me resists leaving the house and there's an elevated level of anxiety when I do. it's mostly subtext but definitely there. these days I cringe and the hairs on the back of my neck jump to attention every time I bookmark places that aren't in easy walking distance. caught a YouTube video (Gareth Eats) that included a visit to one of ROSEMARIE's other locations. the host went sphincter factor 7 over their sliders. a well placed lump of coal would be a diamond by now. always a sucker for a good burger, I made the arduous ten minute drive from Carlsbad to Encinitas three times last week. the crispy, BEER-BATTERED ONION RINGS with smoked paprika and a ranch-and-chipotle aioli dip were a guilty pleasure. if you like rings even a little, definitely order these. wife-unit wasn't fond of the paprika so the rings were ordered "hold the paprika" on the third visit. the SPICY ELOTE FRIES, one pound of hand cut French fries, roasted corn, chipotle aioli, pickled peppers, cotija cheese, and micro cilantro, were very interesting. gotta remember to order them extra crispy next time so they'll stand up better to the wet toppings. the WINGS were solid if not spectacular -- ain't no thing but a chicken wing. WE HAVE EGGPLANT are slices of eggplant deep-fried to order and stacked with Korean BBQ sauce, pickled cabbage, and Kewpie mayo on a Turano bun, a great veggie option even hardy meat eaters will enjoy. I did and it was all the prompting my vegetarian (son #4) needed to join the family for New Year's Eve. the LUAU, a 1/4 lb Wagyu slider with jack cheese, onion confit, teriyaki grilled pineapple slice, pickled cabbage, Korean BBQ sauce, and Kewpie mayo) was excellent. I ordered the ROSIE SINGLE, a 1/4 lb Wagyu slider with onion confit, American cheese, Kewpie mayo, and house special sauce on brioche bun, and the nineteen-year-old (#5 son) had a ROSIE DOUBLE (two 1/4 lb patties). amazing. two EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES giant thumbs up. if you don't get the reference, educate yourself to the genius of Tom Robbins while there's still time ... the LITTLE SAL is a 1/4 lb. Wagyu slider with jack cheese, bacon-whiskey sauce, onion confit, baby arugula, and Kewpie mayo on a Turano brioche bun. easily qualifies as one of the best burger I've EVER had, and I have 77 Yelp burger reviews and a few thousand (mostly pre-Yelp) burgers not reviewed. yeah, it was that good. CAJUN SOFT SHELL CRAB (battered and deep-fried soft shell crab, lemon aioli, and Old Bay slaw) on a Turano brioche bun was disappointing. deep-fried soft-shell crab is almost always disappointing. got excited when I saw it on the menu and momentarily forgot it almost never lives up to my imagined hype. the middle (as seems perpetually to be the case) was mushy with the mouth feel of an undercooked pancake. the NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN slider, a deep-fried chicken SLIVER with duck fat Nashville hot sauce and Kewpie mayo on a Turano brioche bun was AWFUL. lots of breading around a paper-thin slice of yardbird. one-note flavor if you consider cayenne a flavor. EPIC FAIL. the sorriest fried chicken sandwich I've ever had, and I've had a bunch. #2 son and his son both ordered one during our third visit. both raved about it. hopefully my experience was unique. still, I rated ROSEMARIE's five stars because everything else was that good. just buns, no brews. they're still waiting on the city to get off their collective useless butts and issue a beer and wine license. word. read more

I had a cheeseburger and a chicken sandwich slider, my husband had one double cheeseburger slider. We split fries. Loved everything! Great ranch too.

Phenomenal food and quick service with an unbeatable location after a long day on the beach with the family!

This is one of the best burgers in San Diego and I can tell why! They have different types of sliders to choose from but then they also have their classic Rosie's burger. I got the double Rosie and man it was thick and juicy! The sauce is so good and the meat is tender. We also go the fries with paprika which I would say is just alright. The duck fat wings are good as well! If you are in the mood for dessert get the churros to share! Comes with caramel sauce, chocolate sauce and ice cream. I wish I took pictures but it was so good I had to dig in. read more

Absolutely wonderful!! Kane helped us out and walked us through the menu with great recommendations on what to get.

We wanted to visit the latest Rosemaries location in Encinitas. The location was great, super easy to find, right in the heart of town.

If you want a real treat, try the dry rub wings, my husband couldn't stop talking about them read more

Love this place. Great outdoor space for dog moms and dads who want to eat with their fur baby. Got my pup a burger patty that he thoroughly enjoyed. Ordered 4 sliders (bbq, luau, rosemaries, Nash chicken). Got them all with the mayo and special sauce on the side. Glad I did because the sliders are so flavorful it is not needed. Not quite sure why people are saying the fried chicken is greasy. I'm a huge foodie and loved the crunch and flavor. It was the perfect size for a slider. My fave was the luau with the juicy pineapple. The burger is a big portion not your typical thin McDonald style patty. 2 is filling especially if you have a side like fries or rings. I got the rings and they were crunchy and tasty with a huge portion for possibly 3 or 4 people. Ended with the churros that were crunchy came with 2 dipping sauces and vanilla ice cream that is a great get. Food came fast and service was friendly. Great music vibes outdoors. This will be in my weekly rotation and will be back! read more

Rosemarie's Burgers just opened in Encinitas. They have two other locations south of this location. Each slider is juicy and made with high quality ingredients. They're small enough that you can sample a good variety and not have to settle for just one. Two sliders for $17. We ordered a soft shell crab and regular slider. Delicious! read more

One of the best burgers ever. It's a misnomer to call it a slider. More like a full burger on a slider-sized bun.The wagyu burger was cooked perfectly with a crispy outer crust. Also had a Nashville chicken sandwich with the chicken about twice the size of the roll. Had a bit too high breading to meat ration for me, but really delicious and spicy. Also their onion rings are to die for with their crunchy coating. French fries were also perfectly cooked and served piping hot. What also was surprising was how friendly they were and how helpful in explaining all their options. This is a gift for North Coast diners. read more

We came here on a Friday night and the food was SO GOOD. Elite fries were incredible. The sliders were amazing.

We ordered food to be delivered. The food was disappointing. The two orders of onion rings were cold. We thought we were ordering sliders (3) as shown in the picture. We received one.

I was so excited to try Rosemarie's. I have seen it featured on a couple different San Diego burger social media videos. It always looks great. Not sure if the the Encinitas location is just not up to snuff, if it was a bad night or my expectations were too high. I was hugely disappointed. TLDR: Dont go here for "brews" (there are none) or "buns" (not great, greasy and dense). The Good: Fries and Onion rings were absolutely fantastic. Although a fast food type setup, every staff member we interacted with was friendly and competent. The Bad: There are no "brews". Huh? My wife and I each chose the 2 slider combo, both of us selecting the Classic and the Little Sal. Both burgers were greasy butter bombs. The Little Sal only tasted like maple syrup, it was just gross, left half of it behind. The classic did have that homemade burger taste which is nice. Sadly the texture of all the patties, while not tough was dense. The dense greasy just wasnt my jam. Its not the worst meal I have ever had or anything like that, but based on this visit I am truly shocked by the reputation they have of being a top burger in SD. read more

I came to this spot for the first time in Encinitas and I think this is definitely my new favorite spot in town. Not only did I love the food, but the staff was phenomenal, attentive but also just so personable, they want to know your name, talk to you about the food, check in often. I also love that they have inside seating and an outdoor courtyard. The fooood though. I see why they are so well known. The Rosie Mac burger was incredible, one of the best I've had. The soft shell crab isn't something I'd normally eat but this was actually one of my favorite selections. I also tried the little sals which had a perfect combo of salty and sweet, the chef said it was made with maple bacon bourbon whiskey sauce that takes hours to make! The Nashville chicken was HOT but also delicious, just make sure you can handle spice. This is made with duck fat which I found so unique. We also tried their duck fat wings since we wanted a little of everything, honey buffalo was my favorite followed by the teriyaki. The spicy elote fries are a perfectttt appetizer. Really really good. And then last but not least we had their churros that come with ice cream and Mexican caramel made with slow cooked goats milk! Guys if you haven't already been, do yourself a favor and get there asap! read more
