Service was super friendly and helpful. Food was fantastic, especially the chili. Wow, the chili. Burgers were legit. Double burger was way huge. Chili fries were amazing. Dog melt was surprisingly good. Onion rings and fries were on point. Ranch was a little too funny for me. And to be able to top off the meal with Thrifty's ice cream?! We'll be back. Get a big bowl of chili. Large dining area, clean, nicely decorated. Parking wasn't an issue for us.

This is a long overdue review for Water Shack. I stumbled upon this place a few years ago when I…read morewas craving a no frills mom & pop style burger. To my surprise Water Shack's burgers were delicious and satisfying that I find myself coming back here ever so often. Their burgers aren't the heavy, greasy/high fat patties you would get from other places. However, their 1/4 lb patties are their smallest patties and heft makes for that ideal bun to burger ratio. Did I need to order double patties on most of my burger orders? Probably not. Their patties are on the leaner side but they aren't dry; and the fixings from any burger you choose will satisfy that meaty burger fix you're looking for. The Chicken Patty Melt is also a very tasty item. Very cheesy, buttery and crispy toasted bread with chicken breast. Their fries and onion rings also come air-fried so this place focuses more on the healthier comfort food options that wont leave you feeling heavy and drowsy. This place is also doubled as a purified water dispensary and also serves baked goods and ice cream. Love this type of no-frills, unassuming place with very friendly staff and serves up some delicious food!

We had the pretzel with beer cheese, the lemon pepper wings and I had the Smokey Joe sandwich. The environment was cool! They were showing the World Cup and folks were feeling toasty from the several beer options! Service was friendly and helpful! The sandwich I had was no less than spectacular. The bread was perfect and the turkey was warm and cheese melted but it wasn't a hot sandwich. I don't know how to explain it. It was perfectly toasted. I definitely recommend this place for a yummy bite!

My last visit was SOOO good, it left me craving my return…read more Sadly, today was a MISS. Bread can make or break a sandwich, no matter how good the filling. Roll was dry and the hamburger bun was even DRIER ! We asked about the hamburger bun, the Cook said, "We take it out of the freezer and put it on the grill." For HOW expensive these sandwiches and Burgers are ... we left disappointed. The Italian Ice was solely frozen sugar syrup. WAAAAYYY too sweet, blech, awful. Upset my boyfriend's stomach. And, please, if you are going to charge this much, spare us the Credit Card fee. Thank you.

Party Burger is the burger place you never knew you needed. Omg, this place is outstanding!!…read more This little hidden gem inside a brewery was well worth it! Service was prompt and I loved the open aspect of it and seeing where the beer is brewed. Also love the decor and all the picnic tables and wine barrels for seating. Now for the food: I had the Classic Smash Burger and my husband had the Harvest Cranberry Bacon Smashburger. Both were absolutely delicious and the side of fries were well cooked and seasoned to perfection! Everyone that knows me, knows that I love a good french fry. That burger reminded me of the ones my momma used to make. Get yourselves over there and try it, you will not be disappointed.

My family visited Booze Bros the other day for the first time in forever, and I was pleasantly…read moresurprised to see Party Burgers inside - I think it used to be a pizza place(?) but I was low-key craving a burger so the stars aligned for me. My 5-year-old was with me, who doesn't like burgers but can get down with a grilled cheese, so I asked whether they could make a "grilled cheese" with tomato and they were super nice and said no problem. I also ordered the standard Party Burger and a side of fries. Our food arrived at our table super quickly but that came with a caveat - maybe it's because it was mid-week they just prepared a stack of burgers ahead of time (hours ago?) in hopes it would carry them thru the evening - but my Party Burger patty was borderline cold. My daughter's "grilled" cheese was composed of unmelted cheese slices (see photo). She ate hers anyway, but I was feeling pretty wary about the holding temp of the meat on my burger and ended up trashing most of it... it was pretty much a waste of $12. The fries were the star of the show - piping hot and well salted. I would order those again for sure. The Party Sauce was a great dipping option. I would consider eating here again but possibly trying the wings which looked pretty good, or asking that this time my burger be made-to-order.

Whether I dine in or pick up, Mendocino Farms never fails to deliver a great meal and wonderful…read morecustomer service. The staff is always friendly and personable, and the restaurant is usually clean and well-kept, which I really appreciate! My favorite order right now is the "Not So Fried" Chicken Sandwich. Between the toasted ciabatta, Mendo's Krispies, Mustard Pickle Slaw, and herb aioli, it's a divine mix of flavors. A side of the mustard remoulade totally elevates the dipping game! I'm also currently obsessed with their Spicy Curried Couscous! I do wish the "large" size of the Spicy Curried Couscous was a bit bigger since it feels more like a medium to me, but everything else is on point. Overall, Mendocino Farms has great food, awesome service, and is a place I always enjoy coming back to. Looking forward to my next visit!

I'm here for their seasonal Heirloom BLT. I've ordered it 5 times within two weeks. It's a…read moreseasonal item so I'm trying to get my fill before it's gone. The bacon is cut up into bits. The tomato slices are hearty. (One time the tomato slice was 1inch thick!) Thick slices of sourdough. That habanero honey sauce really takes the BLT up a notch on flavor. Very satisfying. I usually order order online for post workout dinner at home. Rarely is my order ready by the stated time on the receipt. I think most orders are placed online since the counter is always stacked with takeout bags. Dining room isn't busy (in the late afternoon/early evening.) If you are reading this review then you're likely new to Mendo. Good food takes time. You can taste the quality of the ingredients. Seasonal items are always worth a try. Several items are their menu are just as tasty.

A moderately sized space that was very clean and organized. Convenience of being able to order from a screen, and staff were easily to get a hold of with any questions as needed. There's another restaurant chain similar but I find Urbane to be much more attractive to me based on pricing, portion and quality. The salad was delicious, refreshing and the perfect side to go with the sandwich. I got the SoCal sandwich which was very filling for me. The sandwich was a bit messy to hold but still delicious and balanced decently. Definitely worth coming here for a filling meal without breaking the bank.

I also have to mention their croissants, which are excellent. I love all of their locations. The Carlsbad spot has a slightly more extensive menu -- especially with the pizzas -- but the Encinitas location is just as good and always worth the stop. My personal favorites are the ham and gruyère baguette and the Pizza Florentine, and their cookies are dangerously good. And if you're a coffee person, you'll be happy here -- their espressos, lattes, and cappuccinos are consistently great. It's simply a gem of a local spot for really good bread, coffee, and casual bites.
