I came in on a Thursday around 11:45 AM, and it was a really easy experience from start to finish. Parking was wide open in the lot and there were only a handful of other people there, so there was no wait at all. You order directly at the counter with a cashier. The menu is pretty big with bowls, plates, and a variety of other options, plus they also serve alcohol. The staff were super friendly and helpful while we were ordering. I ordered: *Tri Tip Bowl: this was a large portion overall. You can choose between jasmine rice or brown rice, and for vegetables either mixed veggies or squash. I went with the mixed veggies. You get around 4 or 5 (guessing) ounces of protein, which honestly felt a little light compared to how much rice is in the bowl. I also added chimichurri sauce, and they offer extra if you ask. Overall it was fine, just a bit underwhelming in flavor. *Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles): they have a few different wine options around the $9-$11 range. I went with the Paso Robles cab, and it was really good. Two employees checked on us during our meal to make sure everything was good, and they even brought us boxes without us asking, which was appreciated. The place itself was very clean, and we got our food in under five minutes, which was impressive. Service was excellent overall. The only real downside was that the food itself was pretty bland. read more

Tried the steak sandwich on ciabatta and it wasn't too bad. Steak was thinly sliced and flavorful tho the chimchurri leaned on the creamy side, it was missing a little something. Service was super friendly! Bushfire has both plenty of indoor and outdoor seating which was nice too. Saw they have a decent happy hour but it's only from 2-5pm! read more

Bushfire Kitchen - Del Mar - Cage-Free Chicken Veggie Empanada (v) Grass-Fed Beef Empanada - American Near Me - Del Mar, California

This place is very good and spacious. We came with a big group and they had ample about of out door seating . I was bummed they didn't have seltzers since I don't like beer. They did have wine but seltzers taste better with lunch to me personally . Love the healthy food options . Everything tasted fresh and very good . read more

As always the food and service was amazing. We walked in tonight and they were slammed by several large groups. Yet the staff, in particular , Mia (I think was her name), was able to handle it and was exceptionally attentive! Highly recommend this restaurant and this location. read more

This place was chosen by my friend. I was pleasantly surprised to find it was a super casual and clean place with a selection of alcohol. We were a good group but the friend was 2 hrs late (traffic from LA). We gals talked and had some drinks. Nobody pressured us, no funny looks from staff. When finally we were all there we ate, and covered the topic that brought us together. Aside from the food being tasty and healthy, what impressed me the most is how casual and accepting all the employees were. I also noticed another table of a large party who was celebrating. It was also good to see. They had a patio that was dog friendly with many ceiling fans. Thumbs up guys!! read more

We stopped at Bushfire Kitchen today while traveling with the NAU Women's Soccer Team for our pregame meal, and it was exactly what we needed. The prices were fair, the quality of the food was excellent, and there were plenty of options to satisfy everyone. Most importantly, all of the ladies enjoyed their meals--which isn't always easy with a big group! A huge thank you to Trudy, Ozzy, Andrew, and Mary for their outstanding service. They made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in and ensured our team was well taken care of. Traveling as a group can be stressful, but their kindness and efficiency made it seamless. Highly recommend Bushfire Kitchen for anyone looking for fresh, high-quality food at great prices with top-notch service. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town! read more

Bushfire Kitchen - Del Mar - Outside patio - American Near Me - Del Mar, California

Nice place to meet up for lunch that has something for everyone. I usually order their Green chicken curry or salmon bowls. Both have good portions that are perfect. It gets a little busy around noon but most of the time there's hardly anyone in line. Counter order and find your own table. There is a nice large outside patio in front and indoor seating. The people who work here are nice and patient. read more

Food is good but there seems to be a lack of attention when bagging/preparing. Either your burger will be missing bacon, or the fries will be missing sauce, etc. You rarely ever get the full order/ingredients, which is unfortunate because in the rare situation where you do get the correct order, it's great. read more

great food and service. very friendly staff. I liked the sandwich, Tuscan chicken with French fries.

Our family of six all liked it. Food is fresh with some unusual spins, and portions are generous. I should have asked them counter server's name because she was great - middle aged with pigtails. Counter order with table service, not a lot of seating but pleasant environment and reasonable prices for the quantities. We'd come again if visiting the area. read more

Do not sleep on the Millionaire's bacon BLT. Just a well executed classic and hits the spot

Excellent service from Trudy! Super friendly and warm, went out of her way to make us feel pampered! Let us taste the beers, patiently walked us through the happy hour menu, when the beer tasted a little stale, she set up a brand new keg and gave me a fresh glass, then heated up wet napkins to clean our hands. Store is clean and comfortable but a little empty during 5pm Wednesday. Beers were delicious and great deal at 50% off 3-5pm HH time. Chicken wings were crispy and we liked the Nashville hot sauce. Beef empanadas were ok, a little dry and could use more flavor. Only minor complaint is the HH food pricing doesn't seem such a good value. Overall great service and great beer happy hour! read more

Bushfire Kitchen continues to impress with both quality and flavor. The Thai chicken curry bowl was rich and well-balanced, with tender chicken, perfectly cooked brown rice, and roasted butternut squash that added a subtle sweetness. The grass-fed tri-tip bowl was a standout, topped with what may be the best chimichurri sauce I've had--bright, herbaceous, and perfectly balanced, elevating the dish without overpowering the meat. To finish, the guava & cream empanada was excellent -- warm, crisp, and not overly sweet, with a great balance between fruit and cream. Consistently fresh ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and excellent execution make Bushfire Kitchen a place I'm always happy to return to and recommend. read more

Great place to come to if you want a large selection of healthy fresh food options at reasonable prices. We ordered the Ahi Tuna Bowl and Salmon Bowl with quinoa, and neither of us were disappointed. The young man waiting on us was friendly and patient and answered all our questions with a smile. The atmosphere is inviting. Just wish they had more locations in San Diego County. read more

The food is always good - doesn't seem to matter what you order. Just add chimichurri sauce to it - even if it doesn't come with it. Example, excellent with sweet potato fries!! One the the best things I always enjoy is being helped by the amazing, fun, friendly and professional server TRUDY! She's a reason why I come!! It's a treat & experience for her to wait one you! read more

Great food, excellent service, reasonable prices. We stayed to chat for 2 hours and didn't have any issues. Recommend!

We went to this place for lunch after hiking and the food is good. I got the veggie burger and I would say it is one of the best veggie burger I ever tried. It's very delicious and the taste is prefect. My husband got gaucho steak sandwich and it is good as well. The hibiscus lemonade is very good and refreshing. Fries is very good as well. Small size is big enough to share for 2 people. Great customer services and they have the outdoor sitting as well. I would definitely come back here for the veggie burger again. read more

Food was great - but Trudi was the BEST! She wanted us to have the best experience- she recommended the Thai chicken dish. It was delicious. She was so attentive and kind. The only bummer was being charged for a corking fee and then, plot twist, no one had an opener Luckily a friend had one in their car. We were refunded for the fee. If everyone there had Trudis attitude- holy smokes that would be amazing read more

FOOD: My husband loves their gourmet burgers and perfectly hot and delicious fries, with a side of aioli. I normally get the chicken curry bowl but decided to try the salmon dish which was super scrumptious and served hot. I enjoyed it with a glass of wine & we each had one of their homemade cookies, all great. SERVICE: hostess was professional and quick but the older server/busser was SO friendly and great!! AMBIANCE: Casual, Modern and Fun. PRICE: $55 Aprox for 2 people read more

The best Nashville spicy chicken grilled sandwich I had ever. That was damn good. Fries were great too. The outdoor ambiance is very nice... perfect for our toddler & dog as well. Was little disappointed with mac & cheese though, it was bland & spicy. But overall it was good. Will surely go back read more

Hello just had lunch with friends at Bushfire Del Mar. The food was priced goid n delicious. Our server Trudi was extremely attentive to all of our needs all throughout our lunch. I highly recommend this enjoyable n delicious place with excellent service!!! Thank you Trudi and all !!! read more

Order at counter. Staff was great, kept checking on us and even refilled our water cups! Food does not come out fast but assume due to items made to order and relatively busy on Saturday night. Lots of take out orders. Atmosphere is nice, clean. Plenty of parking. Food was okay not wow. We ordered the Thai chicken bowl with butternut squash - I think the roasted vegetables with the curry sauce would have been better and the tritip platter with roasted vegetables and sweet potato fries. Probably best sweet potato fries we've ever had! Meat however was tough, hard to cut and not flavorful - the chimichurri sauce was yummy. Focaccia was dry and also not flavorful. Highly recommend Seasurf in same shopping plaza. read more

The buffet window is frosted glass so you're unable to see the containers of food & therefore cannot determine by sight how fresh or old the food appears. I ordered the vegetarian plate. The sweet potato cubes were so old & dried up. The vegetables were mostly bell peppers & onions. I had a stomach ache that evening. That was on Nov 6. 2025. The food was a take out. read more

great food great staff great location . Been cool my here for a long time and every time tr quality of the food is great ans never change

Trudy is so great and so friendly. She was attentive and helpful to both myself and my son.
