I ordered the short rib ragu and it was so flavorful and delicious. I finished the whole thing! Great value too. My husband got the gumbo and he enjoyed it. Everyone was so pleased with their choices. There was live entertainment indoors too. They let us bring in a cake and provided plates which was so nice. A fun night was had by all! Looking forward to returning soon.

Went here twice. Once for a late night dinner and then "brunch" a few days later…read more I can absolutely say go for dinner. I had the fisherman's stew. Essentially a version of ciopoanno. It was amazing. Fresh seafood, amazing slightly spicy broth. Perfect. Nothing overcooked and clearly fresh ever ordering close to closing. Also ordered a ceaser salad- the fried capers LEGIT PERFECT. My husband had the union burger with truffle fries. He said was good. I was too distracted by my dinner to try. "Brunch" on the other hand, was a little disappointing. Hoping it was just a limited menu because it was Father's Day but food was mediocre. Service here is great. Not overly attentive but very great recommendations. Will definitely visit again when I'm back in town.

Regal Seagull is overall just a great classic bar in Leucadia. Great beer (and wine and and some…read morekombucha and seltzers) selection with great bites.

If I could give 20 stars, I would! The Bier Garden in Encinitas has never disappointed me. Every…read moredish I've tried has been amazing. The cornbread is hands-down the best and a must-order every single visit! So far I've had the Poke N Chips, BG Bones, and grilled cheese with tomato soup, and every single item has been flavorful, fresh, and perfectly prepared. It's rare to find a place where everything on the menu is consistently this good. The atmosphere is always great, the food is outstanding, and it's become one of my favorite spots in Encinitas. Whether you're stopping by for drinks, lunch, or dinner, you really can't go wrong. Highly recommend I'll definitely be back for more cornbread!

My burger had very little flavor. The meat was dry, it was still edible just wouldn't order it again. The Caesar salad was fantastic!!!! The lettuce was amazing and the dressing was absolutely delicious. My mother ordered the fig burger with a side of onion rings and instead she got fries and there was no goat cheese on the burger. However she still loved the burger. Also all the pictures online show that they have WAFFLE FRIES - THEY DO NOT. The service was good and they were helpful in fixing the issues with the onion rings. Ambiance is very loud being right on the 101 but it's not terrible.

I was even on the Leucadian Bar softball team for a season well I decided to stop by today to play couple games of pool I found out you can shoot pool for FREE on TUESDAYS also the pool players that go there are serious fun players. 2 badass players Cindy K &Bracc(I hope I got their names correct?) impressed the hell out of me with their pool playing&I also enjoyed the conversations. I WILL go back for more of that fun real soon. I have to SHOUT OUT to the bartender Clair as well she had the bar looking clean she was kind and accommodating. I didn't notice the back of the bar until I was driving off but looked like a bbq maybe possibly bands can play but I bet it's fun back there when it's hop'n I will find out next time I go

We got carnitas tacos, wings, chicken club sandwich, burger, and the brownie sundae. The burger was the best thing on the menu so stick with that. Wings were slimy and room temperature when served so not sure about those. The grilled chicken club was wimpy. A very very small portion of chicken was served. Almost like a single chicken tender was used for the entire sandwich. The carnitas tacos were just okay, nothing special. The brownie sundae was actually nice. Warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Overall just an okay experience with the food. Nothing I would specifically come back for. The vibes were the best part. Lots of TVs for sports and live music on this particular night. Pretty good hang but I wouldn't go out of my way for this spot.

I appreciate this place so much honestly. It is always so nostalgic and the food is never subpar…read more Olivia was on it and always so thoughtful and just ON IT. She helped with every request my mom had while she's in town. Like I'm grateful when she is working because she's just great! Miguel (of course) was here working his butt off as usual. I found out he has been here for 23 years and legit a staple of this place! Also, did you know that they cook their food in healthier oils and essentially their food is handmade. My onlyyy hiccup is that I wish the women's bathroom light was a little brighter. Minus that, always a 10/10!

Santana Burger medium rare was 5 stars all the way, and the fruits that accompanied it were damn…read moregood as well. The Kern brewing Chuuuch IPA was also 5 stars for my taste buds. 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.
