    Had such a great experience at Rosemarie's! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and everything felt so inviting. Justin was especially wonderful--he was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. You can tell he genuinely cares about making sure everyone has a great experience. Great service, great vibes, and I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend checking this place out!

    Pick two Award Winning RosieMac and Bombay Hot Chicken

    Ambiance is nice and lots of seating provided. Ordering wait times need to be improved. We waited approximately 15 minutes at the counter. Recommend someone dedicated to the ordering counter during high peak times. The gent that took our order looked overwhelmed and flustered when he addressed the customers. The sliders we had were too oily. Tasty, but found ourselves thinking twice about what we ate afterwards. The Pick Two meal and wings were ordered. Wagyu was nicely cooked. Bombay was fine. When ordering wings, we asked for the Hickory Honey Dry Rub wings and then was asked what flavor sauce and chose Mango Habanero. I noticed something was wrong with total when I paid but didn't address. Then when wings were brought out we were provided the Hickory Honey Dry Rub in Mango Habanero flavor and second wings (not ordered but charged for) Caesar's Famous Mango Habanero. Note next time verify order before paying. Thanks!

    Spicy Elote Fries

    The sliders are a pretty hefty portion! The bun looks small but the meat is definitely filling. We got the soft shell crab one and their award winning. The award winning slider won for a reason! It's such a classic burger. The soft shell crab tasted extremely fresh and light. We also got elote fries which were very much on the spicier side! It didn't really taste like elote and there wasn't as much corn but it was a solid amount of food. I like the 2 for $18 deal on the sliders as well. This spot doesn't have their liquor license yet so no alcohol, btw! It's a great place for families as there is a small play area. Plenty of outdoor seating all around and it wasn't too busy. There were at least 4 picnic tables wide open. The service is really fast and the people are nice. The first time we tried rosemarie's at their first location, we got the Hawaiian one and it was way too saucy. We're glad we decided to try it out again. Will be back!

    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!

    I was up in the Encinitas area and decided to give Rosemarie's a shot. I ordered the Classic, the Nashville Hot Chicken and Brussel Sprouts. I probably should have ordered a 3rd sandwich as this were sliders and were kinda small. But, I did order the brussels sprouts and they were plentiful. The 2 sliders were good but not great. Like I said, I think a third slider would have put me over the top. The vibe of the restaurant was pretty nice and had a small town feel to it that I liked. When I'm up here again I'll definitely try 3 different sliders.

    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.

    The Classic and The Round Up.  The Round Up was especially good.

    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.

    A traditional slider, a cowboy slider, fries, onion rings, and two diet cokes!

    We got a great referral from our daughter in law. This place is a great little wonder off the main drag in Encinitas. Great service. Freak food. The sliders are amazing. Loved the fries and onion rings. Highly recommend a quick bite here. Plan ahead though parking is tough on the weekends.

    Absolutely the best sliders! Perfect business model to make the burgers small so you can try two! Great choices in the menu, outstanding quality in the and flavors! So, I just learned today, while Rosemaries's waits on their beer and wine permit, if you place your order they will bring it across the street to you at Culture Brewing. How amazing! A big shout out to Justin from Rosemarie's, he's the best.

    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!

    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.

    The Gnar, Nashville Hot Chicken, and a RosieMac - Chicken was perfectly fried with a great breading...

    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.

And our server was fantastic. So why, you might ask, only 4 stars in my review. Two reasons: 1). Management has prohibited giving a splash of a beer for someone to sample. Bottom line is that I wanted to order a pint of beer, but I wanted a splash of a couple of beers to try to make my decision. They refused, saying that one must buy a 5oz taster if one wants to taste the beer. I find that policy offensive. In the end I bought a taster to taste the Chuuurch, and then bought an additional pint after. It just seems nickel and dimey, and would be asking to an ice cream place not allowing one to sample their ice creams before buying a cone. I hope management reconsiders this policy. 2. My wife got the Hot Mess Fries and was disappointed not only in the flavor, but also in the misleading advertising. On the menu it specifically said that there was bacon in the fries, but in fact what they put on the fries was either chunks of ham or "Canadian bacon" (which as we all know is a very different thing from "bacon"). If they were or of regular bacon, the kitchen should have told the server this so he could have asked her if she wanted ham as a substitute. And, of they always use ham instead of bacon, them the menu needs to be changed to reflect that.

    BIERGARDEN @ ENCINITAS…read more Parking can be a little difficult since this spot is located right on the main strip in Encinitas. There's parallel street parking throughout the area, so you might get lucky and find a spot nearby. I ended up parking on one of the side streets, which worked out perfectly. I came here on a Sunday afternoon, and it was definitely busy. We had to wait a little while for a table because several tables still needed to be cleaned before they could seat new guests. The staff was incredibly friendly, though, and we were seated as soon as they could. It did take about 15 minutes before a server was able to come over and take our order, but the restaurant was completely packed, so it's something to keep in mind if you're in a hurry. After spending the day at the beach, we were really just in the mood for drinks. I ordered the Blood Orange Margarita, which can be served with Tajín, sea salt, or no rim at all. It was really good and definitely on the stronger side, which I appreciated. My only complaint was that there was a bit too much ice, but the flavor itself was great. The atmosphere is what really makes this place stand out. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, large open windows that let in plenty of fresh air, and a fun, lively vibe that makes it a great place to relax after a beach day. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the ambiance and cocktails, just be prepared for a little wait if you visit during peak hours.
