Came here with a friend on Easter Sunday around 9:30 PM and had a great experience overall. It was pretty mellow for a holiday night with just a handful of people there with plenty of seating both inside, outside, and at the bar. We ended up grabbing seats at the bar, which was a great choice. We ordered the: *Fig Burger with Brussels Sprouts: the Brussels sprouts were phenomenal. They had what tasted like pecans, some kind of glaze, and cheese... seriously so good. The Fig Burger itself was just as impressive with such a unique combo and absolutely delicious. *Steak Sandwich with Onion Rings: this was also a standout. Perfectly cooked, super flavorful, and came with a great dipping sauce that really tied it all together. The onion rings were crispy and on point too. First off, I love that they offer a variety of sides (sweet potato fries, truffle fries, mac & cheese, Brussels sprouts, etc.), though most come with a small upcharge. We had a few drinks and even grabbed a bottle of wine from the bar to take back to our Airbnb, which was a nice bonus. The vibe was relaxed with TVs playing highlights from a basketball game, and the bartender/server was awesome. Parking was easy with free street parking, though that might've been because it was late and a holiday. Only heads up: definitely call ahead about kitchen and closing times, especially on holidays. Online said they close at midnight, but they were actually closing at 11 PM. We were told over the phone the kitchen closed at 9:45 PM, but when we arrived at 9:30 PM, it had just switched to last call. Thankfully, they were kind enough to still get our order in. Overall, phenomenal food, great service, and a solid spot worth checking out. Would definitely come back. read more

My friend and I were doing a mini food crawl through downtown Encinitas and decided to stop by here for a quick snack and drink. I guess you could call it a bit of a girl dinner (or snack) - aperol spritz + onion rings. The vibes were great, especially the back patio area. The service was also pretty solid and we didn't feel like anyone was rushing us out, despite just ordering nibbles. Great spot overall! read more

8 wings = $23 ouch. Honestly a not a bad spot, but also it's not a great spot. The name is pretty misleading as the only German item on the menu are the pretzels. No German beer neither. It's located on the main strip of Encinitas so it's always popular. read more

Met some friends here for lunch and it's definitely a cool spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. Our server was friendly, the drinks were cold, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Overall, the food was just average for us, but it's still a nice place to hang out and catch up with friends. read more

Fabulous place to hang out for Sunday and grab a cold beer! Their beer glasses are chilled and the vibe is relaxed. If you sit on the patio it is a little calmer if you go inside next to the bar it is lively! It must see when you come to Encinitas! read more

I ate here for the first time in years last week. We split the Cubano and Tri Tip Sandwich, both with fries, $22 each. They were both really good, just expensive. The beer lineup is a travesty for a place calling itself a "Bier Garden." All run of the mill brands you can get all over San Diego. The specials were literally Pacifico and Bud Light. Regal Seagull and Brewer's Taproom blow this place out of the water as far as beer selections go. It is a great location and lay out. All the sitting is open air, which is cool. You can people watch from any seat in the house. We didn't sit at the bar, but it's super long which I like. Service was on point. One thing to note, everyone that works here is good looking, even the busboy. It was over $80 for lunch for two with two beers. I think they should change the name to "Encinitas Beach House" or something else generic, because this not absolutlely not a BeirGarden. read more

Was craving some fries so we went here after looking at the menu! Pretty popular spot for lunch/ brunch. The restrooms were clean and the fries were really good! Service was excellent! The price of the food was a bit tad high but other than that it was great! The truffle fries were lacking in truffle flavor it tasted mostly like regular fries and salt. read more

I've been at this place quite a few times, decided I would go ahead and leave a review this time. I love the menu, there is a lot of stuff on this menu and all of it is very very good. Every time I've been there the service has been great and that's what keeps me coming back. Overall, this place is definitely worth giving a try and I would most certainly recommend this place to others. read more

We were seated straight away. The service was average. I really liked the appetizer, the pretzel bites, but I ordered the beef brisket with skillet cornbread as my main. I was disappointed because the brisket was cold and dry. I did love the cornbread though. I don't think I'll be back. read more

Love eating here! It's such a fun vibe! You're right in the heart of downtown Encinitas. My husband and I like eating outside when the weather is nice! We have been here many times and have never had bad service! My favorite thing to order is the short rib nachos! read more

Came here on a whim. Loved the place. Beautiful ambience. Very friendly staff. Good food. They could maybe lower the price a bit. Three entrées was $100. But I suppose that's the world we live in. Would most definitely return in a pinch. read more

I used to help 1 of the main chefs back in the day when a bank was located near by. Let's just say when you the chef has tattoos of animal outlines and the different cuts on the animals, I trust what he recommends. Burger's are amazing. Always fresh fish Have your choice of local beer or wine and catch a quick break while doing shopping on the 101. Seriously go. Waiters always friendly. The ocean breeze coming just over the bluff gives it feel warm and welcoming feeling "this is where i belong." read more

The name of the restaurant is kind of German but the food is about as German as the taco shop across the street. Really, the place is about as 'Murican as you can get. It's basically glorified pub grub. It's also family friendly and dog friendly. The loaded poato bites appetizer is very generous and was very good. It's basically potato wedges with cheese, sour cream, and bacon. What's not to like? The Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich was ridiculous. I can unhinge my snake jaws with the best of them but not for this thing. It contains a ton of fried chicken stacked to the sky, with pickles, onions, lettuce, and tomato between buns. Unfortunately, the chicken was fried far too long, was very dry, and the batter was not good. The oil may have been old and it was definitely over-fried. That chicken died in vain. On the other hand, the Cardiff Crack Steak Sandwich was excellent. The meat was tender and the bread was very nice (the menu called it a hoagie but it was unlike any hoagie I have ever seen). Whatever. It's a very good sandwich. The entrees come with a ton of very nicely-seasoned thick fries. Just for fun, I tried the Hearty Bloody Mary which comes with a ton of "fixins" (bacon, celery, cheese, pepperoncini, pickled onion, and a mini Slim Jim. It also comes with a beer chaser. The drink itself was fine. Our server was outstanding. He was friendly, refilled our water constantly, and gave good recommendations. The food portions were generous but the cooking was uneven. Overall, it's a safe choice unless you're looking for a real German beer garden. Prost! read more

My sister and I randomly stopped at this place to eat as we were walking back to where we parked the car. The smell of the food is what drew us in. We shared the Fig Burger. It sounded interesting. It had two of my favorite things I like on hamburgers; arugula and herbed goat cheese. You know, the hamburger was really delicious. Perfectly cooked too. My sister and I shared the hamburger and I got the fries and my sister got the onion rings. The fries were delicious and I loved the ranch. It wasn't tangy. The onion rings were declicious as well. They are perfectly crisp. read more

Biergarden is fantastic! We finally got to try this place out and it was worth the wait. Their outdoor patio is really nice with heaters for the colder nights. Staff is super friendly and answered any questions I had. Their food is amazing, really the star of the show. I definitely recommend the nachos if you're not sure what to order. My only complaint was that it was a little pricey, their happy hour prices seemed a little steep, but overall a really good experience here! read more

The hum of conversation, the clinking of glasses - it's the soundtrack of a perfect afternoon in Encinitas. And then it arrives: the Cali Creamin' on Nitro. It's not just a beer; it's an experience poured into a glass. The foam, a thick, pristine white, crowns the golden liquid beneath, inviting you in. You lift the glass, the cool weight a promise in your hand. The first sip is pure velvet - smooth, creamy, a whisper of vanilla that dances on the tongue, followed by the crisp, clean finish of a perfectly crafted cream ale. It's light, yet substantial, a paradox of refreshment. This is the kind of beer that makes you lean back, exhale, and realize that some moments are simply better than others. It's the taste of a California sunset, captured and served. Bier Garden gets it. Mother Earth Brew Co. knows what they're doing. This isn't just a drink; it's a statement. Five stars. And another. read more

I remember my first time coming here- my partner and I wanted somewhere with quality ingredients and a calming atmosphere. This place was *it*! We've been back a couple of times in the past couple of years, and every time it has hit the spot. We always prefer to sit outside- Encinitas has lovely weather year round, plus the restaurant has heaters! Never waited longer than 5 minutes for a table. Service is always friendly and quick. Prices are reasonable. Cocktails are yummy & well balanced! The Cardiff Crack Fries (I think that's what they're called) are insane. Same with the Tennessee Hot Chicken Sandwich & the brussel sprouts. Definitely get them! Can't wait to be back. read more

Maybe I'm just not used to Encinitas pricing, but their food is very good! Also the atmosphere on game days is great. read more

We came here for happy hour for my birthday dinner just before La Paloma. The service was fantastic and we got everything quickly! I will say the quality seems to have gone down slightly in recent years. The mac n cheese was thick and goopy and not warm. The cauliflower and brussels are always a hit and so are the drinks. I would stick to apps and drinks here! read more

Love the mac and cheese here. It is literally to die for! Love to eat here and its in a great location and everyone is very kind.

They took forever to serve my lunch roughly an hour and i only ordered an appetizer. The food is over priced and Low quality for the price. They sell alcohol because you have too be drunk too eat there. i also heard from several other local businesse that are neighbors they took the parking out front too create more tables for themselves, and now nobody can find parking in the area for anything. The city's answer to the problem was too limit the rest of public parking too 2hours and ticket you. Zero stars unavailable unfortunately they dont deserve one star. All Locals should Boycott and complain read more

The service was quick and Alyssa (server) was fantastic! We sat outside and she was really attentive and helpful when it came to putting up the umbrellas for shade.

Haven't been here in a while but hubs wanted a good cheeseburger so we came here. Always have a great beer selection, cocktails and seating in or outdoors. It was a little early, 11 am so no lunch crowds yet. Great service, menu variety from various appetizers (Buffalo cauliflower, wings, ahi poke, spinach dip, etc), upscale burgers from fig, salmon, fish tacos, ribs, salads and more. I had the fish n chips, cod was buried in an over-battered excessively greasy coating, had to dig to find the fish....didn't like. Stick to the grilled fish tacos. Hubs happy with his burger. Courteous and attentive servers and service, nice ambience and energy. They have seasonal menu items and a happy hour. read more

This is a nice gastropub right on Hwy 101 in downtown Encinitas. They have a large indoor dining area as well as a nice roomy outdoor patio section. We arrived around 7pm on a Thursday night and we got a table outside with no problem. Our server was the sweetest and friendliest. The restaurant offers 23 tap beers on their menu as well as a very large selection of cocktails, burgers, salads, main entrees, and sandwiches. Our friends loved their burger and mahi sandwich. We got the Chinese Chicken salad and it was ok...the greens were refrigerator cold and the grilled chicken was not warm nor moist. But it was not bad..the truffle fries were thick and crunchy with just the right amount of seasonings. A great relaxing place to eat in downtown Encinitas. read more

Ive tried the bloody Mary's, Beir pretzels, Ahi tower, fish tacos, Cubano, short rib dip, and waffle fries and truffle fries.
