This place has been an amazing spot. I work in one of the adjoined buildings and every time I have gone it has been great. The food has been surprisingly amazing every time I have gone. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The last time I stopped in for breakfast and they did take a while to make my breakfast bowl but the staff was very apologetic and offered a free cookie to make up for the long wait. I would highly recommend this place. The only downside is the food does take a while to come out but that's a downside I would take every time to receive the quality of food that is offered here. read more

First off there's an incredible happy hour in trivia during the week making it a great place for after work hangouts with your coworkers! Happy hours Tuesday through Thursday 3 to 7 PM!! Wednesdays are trivia nights from 5 to 7 you can just hop onto a team!! Drinks are about 10 bucks - non-alcoholic options are available. The bartenders made some great suggestions and there are a lot of beer options available. In terms of food, the Smashburger for about $12 is actually pretty good, but there's also salad, soups, and pizzas and some vegetarian options as well. It caters well to a wide diet in a group setting. Definitely worth the money! What's interesting is it's a little bit hard to find and tucked away amongst some very large corporate buildings. The area is still under construction as well. Once you make it to the address per Google, you can park in any spot and then you'll need to enter in through some glass doors and head to the back. I'm just happy there's ample parking! There is a large open seating section outdoors as well. Bathrooms are in the main building a bit of a walk from the place though. I definitely would come back for the drinks and with another group of people to catch up! read more

Happy Hour Review. Located at a business building, plenty of parking for employees and people who want to try out green acre. Great place to hangout. There's a game room with billiards and. Plentiful of indoor and outdoor seating. Dimmed ambiance and medium volume music, music I enjoyed. Everyone was very friendly. Drinks are strong. The malarkey margarita I got felt was mostly tequila with a little mix and lime. Open bar with lots of options. Brussel Sprouts were pretty oily, burnt and bland. Chorizo was salty, I would have enjoyed more flavor. Decent pizza, but maybe a bit too bready for me personally. read more

The concept of order at the counter and get a flag number and find a very scenic location on the property is worth a visit. The food is delightful and beautifully arranged. The roasted beet and carrots was spot on. The dish had many flavours that satisfied the imagination. The staff was very effective to find the flag numbers and deliver the your order in a timely manner. read more

Green Acre - Roasted Beet and Carrots - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

Came here for a team lunch. Beautiful space both inside and outside. Points for that, as well as the friendly staff. You have to order and pay at the counter, then you get a number to bring to your table. 5 of us had salads (2 people had the beet and carrot salad with chicken, 1 had a cobb salad with chicken and I got the kale Caesar with steak. I also had an iced green tea, 2 people had the matcha latte that was a special. 1 person had the burger with fries. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meal, unfortunately my steak had unchewable pieces so a lot of it went to waste. The salad itself was ok. But for $24? Not recommended. I probably wouldn't come back unless it was for another work sponsored meal. read more

Very nice location, cool decor and it feels like a fancy place with everyday people. Their sandwiches and salads are tasty!

Group lunches are finicky little things and we had quite the adventure before landing here. The vibe is calm, cool, & casual, which doesnt seem to match up with its surrounding corporate vibe. But you know, it's almost like having an oasis among the work grind chaos. THE FOOD. - Wild Mushroom Pizza | The mushroom varieties are obviously a plus here. Bechamel sauce goes well with the Parmesan and fontina cheeses. Highly recommend. THE DRINK. - Organic Lemonade (Traditional) | Not overly sweet. Just enough tangy flavor. THE PARKING. Free parking available if you can find it. THE RESERVATION. We called ahead to make sure they can accommodate a group of ten for lunch, but it doesn't seem reservations were necessary. COMING BACK? Yep, this place calls for another visit to try other dishes! read more

Green Acre - Kale Caesar (Steak). Fantastic steak! It's a very quality cut of meat, absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend. - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

Each food/drink item I've ever ordered was never a disappointment. It was always prepared nicely and at the perfect temperature. Each staff member I've come across was always friendly and helpful. The backdrop of this restaurant is just so beautiful. If you happen to know who their interior designer is, please let me know. Working nearby was a bonus and sadly I'll no longer have tenant discounts, but that won't stop me from visiting. read more

Came here for a work lunch and I don't think I would buy from this place generally since the food is so pricey BUT since I got it comped, food here is pretty solid! Got the burger and fries and both were really tasty. I also got the berry smoothie with a protein boost and that thing was huge ! Everything seemed freshly made. You order at the front and then sit down. Workers are friendly. The place is inside an office building but it's nicely decorated! read more

I was here for an event. The manager Monika came up to visit and check on everything. The menu for the event was limited, but man it was good. We had a charcuterie board and some little desserts. Days later, I am still thinking about that milk chocolate mousse!! Sooooo darn good!!! There was even a dedicated AV persons to help us. The room was set up perfectly with chairs and all the things, great for the business meeting we were having. Parking was easy. I'd recommend this spot to anyone needing event space or meeting space with catering!! read more

This place has food and coffee. They serve breakfast and lunch. I usually get coffee and pastries here in the morning. The pastries are really good and unique, they are seasonal and rotated often. The coffee is good too, there are some baristas that put in the extra mile. There's this one barista guy with black hair that always makes excellent 10/10 cortados and lattes. I always pray that he's the one making my drink haha. The others are good too, but he's in another league. Love this place, come here often read more

Haven't been here for a few years, so I'm super glad to see they're still top-notch! So many seating options both indoor and out. Great counter service and server also very kind and quick to clear everything out. Food abundant and flavorful, great value! Had the quinoa salad. read more

Some days you want lunch, other days you want happy hour but during lunch time... Enter Green Acre, whose convenient office park location and accommodating staff will slake your desire/need to day drink between client meetings. ;) While the official menu is a bit limited, food is at minimum decent (I recommend their small plates + big snacks over their sandwiches + wraps), and, more importantly, the bar is ready, willing, and able to get creative. The space, both outdoors and indoors, is huge and well-appointed, but my favorite place to perch is the back bar next to the game room. Grab a partner in crime and have fun playing hooky for an hour or two! read more

The first day in my new office this past June and saw that there was an (expensive) cafeteria/restaurant (since my company does not sponsor the food) that looking so neat and modern made me very happy. I loved the design, from the menu, to the mini vases with cute flowers from the farm (there is a farm in campus that belongs to them and they source some of the ingredients they use in their dishes from there) to the playful atmosphere. I have been frequenting this restaurant for 6 months now and is all good (except the price tag). I adore their burgers, that is my favorite to-go dish, although I have not disliked anything I have tried. This summer I got a superb gazpacho (source from the farm), very original taste and different from the Spanish one I am used to. There are happy hours and many corporate and meetup groups parties in there too. The coolest thing is how secluded and unknown this restaurant is, mostly because belongs to the Alexandria conglomerate of buildings and businesses and is located inside a corporate park not too much on the public light. read more

I'm a fan! I was tasked with finding a place for Happy Hour for work. I looked around on Yelp for a decent Happy Hour menu and ended up calling Green Acre Campus Pointe. They were able to accommodate a group of 14 of us with a reservation. According to their website, Green Acre Campus Pointe is managed by Dan Valerino and Joe Bower of Bottle Boon Consulting. The philosophy of Bottle Boon Consulting is to bring an adaptive model to restaurant management of constant innovation and creativity. At the time in mid-April 2022, Green Acre Campus Pointe was also open for Happy Hour on Thursdays and Fridays from 3PM to 6PM. Their normal hours are Monday through Friday from 8AM to 2PM. I got to try a whole bunch of items: - Cocktail (Grapefruit Commuter Car) - brandy, rum, cointreau, grapefruit, lemon, serrano simple syrup, and candied grapefruit - Patatas Bravas - fingerling potatoes, crispy garlic, calabrian chile aioli, garden herbs - Crispy Ham & Cheese Croquettes - cured ham, mozzarella cheese, tomato aioli - Nashville Chicken Nuggets - mixed pickles, kimchi aioli - House Fries - kennebec - Buffalo Chicken Pizza - hot sauce, mozzarella, bleu cheese, green onion, herb ranch My faves? The Grapefruit Commuter Car Cocktail, Buffalo Chicken Pizza, and the House Fries! DEFINITELY MUST GET. Special thanks to our waiter who was really patient with the whole group of us. Definitely enjoyed my experience! Tip: Green Acre Campus Pointe is kind of hidden. If you follow Google Maps, it'll bring you to the parking lot. - (Option 1) If you go left, you should go to the back end of the parking lot to the handicapped parking. Once you go in past the doors, there is a security guard on your right. Just keep going straight to the back of the building to get to Green Acre. - (Option 2) If you go right, it'll bring you to the Green Acre Campus Pointe Garden. You'll have to walk past that to get to the restaurant. read more

Very disappointing experience. Our team came here to celebrate the holidays. There were 20 of us. I was part of the group that organized the event and after the meeting at least six of my team members verbally complained about how poor the service was. We came on Wednesday, the (dark blonde female) worker there was very unfriendly from the start. She also seemed to be someone that was responsible for being helpful. However, she acted like any request was a burden. Scowled and muttered under her breath a bunch. Meanwhile, she's just sitting there chitchatting with her coworkers. I guess any work is too much work for her. And it's one thing having poor staff service, however, multiple of our fried chicken sandwiches were undercooked. And I mean very undercooked. Noticeably pink and cool inside. Gross. It would be one thing if one person was grumbling, but we received multiple complaints about how bad their food or staff friendliness was. That's very unfortunate. The upper leadership likely don't care but sadly, 20 people from local businesses nearby leaving quite unhappy with their eatery is not a good look. Very poor business model. read more

Food here is okay, kinda pricey and bland staff is nice location is also nice. Just needs a little more effort to be so much better but hey it's in the cut so better than nothing. read more

Service was horrible. The cashier this morning was rude. Seems like she got up on the wrong side of th bed.

Tucked away this place is a hidden gem Wonderful service and the openness atmosphere, makes it a nice spot for breakfast, lunch. The gnocchi was great and the juice is freshly squeezed. read more

Tucked away among the university, hospitals and biotechs of the area, this is a great little place for a bite during or after business hours. All of the menu items are prepared from fresh ingredients and expertly crafted for that farm-to-table kind of meal. Vegan, vegetarian or not, they have something for everyone. And to accompany your meal, add a local craft brew in draft or even one of their home made kombuchas (if that's your thing). Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating to host small parties or company functions. The pizza dough is amazing, soft but crisp bottom, with the crust folded over the sauce for that flavor filled experience. Salads crisp and wonderfully dressed with their own spin on a number of classic salads. I think the Waldorf-style was my favorite. I'd definitely recommend! read more

The entrance reminds me of Farmer and the Seahorse because it's nearly as impressive as the interior. The space inside and outside is massive with ample room to spread out, host a party, work event, reception and more. My husband and I came for happy hour and had a couple of margaritas and the charcuterie board. Both were amazing! The margarita was very strong but mixed so nicely with fresh lime and salt. I definitely was feeling the effects just after ordering one drink. The meat and cheese board was so beautiful that I didn't even want to touch it. It came with toasted bread brushed with olive oil and sea salt, fig jam, berries, prosciutto and salami and Gouda and Bleu cheeses. The happy hour menu from 4-7pm is limited but has a nice mix of meat, cheese, mussels, fries and a burger. I'm definitely coming back. read more

After being a big fan of Brian Malarkey and his previous restaurants I had been to Searsucker and Herringbone, it was neat to try this restaurant located near the business area of Campus Point. I thought I was getting lost stumbling towards parking around the back which is easily accessible to the back patio of the restaurant. The ambiance and atmosphere is beautiful and their farm to table concept here offers fresh food! This is an awesome place for food and drinks especially for those who work nearby. I opted for the house red and had cab when I came here on Friday night. Their Happy Hour is from 4-8pm which includes drink specials of their margarita, house wine, and well drinks. As for food I shared a plate of their Carne Asada Fries which was very unique with half potato and half sweet potato with a generous portion of carne asada and well flavored with ample smoked cheddar, pico, and chipotle crema. It was very scrumptious and enjoyable along with the outdoor vibes which made for a pleasant dinner. read more

Cannot go wrong here. Have always had a great lunch entree and salad with business meetings. The service is comfortable and quick with attention to detail and quality. Staff is attentive without having you feel they're brushing to along to reset the table. read more

Embarrassed for the amount I paid for a simple rice bowl with a piece of kale and egg and $6 extra for steak protein. I came here really out of convenience. I had a meeting in the nearby area and needed something quick and healthy, my co worker mentioned this place. It reminds me of true foods, except pricier. You can dine in or order to-go at the counter. The menu is lacking exceptional salads .. and of course all are $10+ without any protein. Anyways, the brown rice bowl was basic and lacked complex flavor. It just tasted like rice and salt from the ramen egg. I got no garlic or tahini flavor resemblance from this dish. The steak was good.. and by far the best deal for $6. Anyways.. I won't be back. I rather go to Whole Foods and pick/choose portions and flavors on my own. It's a pretty setting here, but not worth the extra $$. read more

The decoration and the ambiance is incredible. Green Acres definitely gives off the hipster vibe. My favorite items to order here are the lavender latte and the beet and carrot salad. I always order a hot lavender latte because it gets really cold in the building I work in. The hot lavender latte is always at the perfect temperature to be enjoyed immediately; it doesn't scald your tongue when you drink it right away. It's also a great pick-me-up to have in the middle of a long work day. I was introduced to farro through the beet and carrot salad (I like to order this with grilled chicken and mustard vinaigrette). The farro has an amazing firm, yet chewy consistency that I can't get enough of. It takes a long time for food to come out; my lunch break is only 30 minutes long and sometimes, it takes a whole 30 minutes for my order to be ready. I recommend ordering ahead of time so that your food is ready to be picked up when you're ready to get there. read more

Friendly service, great social atmosphere. Quality food. Clean modern facilities. Great outdoor view.

Came here for lunch with a group. Atmosphere was very nice. You have inside and outside seating. Activities to play as well in the back near the bar. Service was very slow. When your on a lunch from work it's the last thing you want to deal with. The restaurant was not that busy either so not sure what was up. Food/drinks: I ordered the peanut butter smoothie. Very delicious! For food I ordered the turkey blt with a side of greens. You have to option to sub for fries or chips. The sandwich it swift was very filling and the salad had a very nice dressing to compliment it. I will come and give this place another try but for takeout. read more

The only reason I'm not giving this Green Acre five stars is that the service the day we stopped in for lunch was very, very slow.They weren't extraordinarily busy, but we spent almost two hours there, waiting for our drinks and food to arrive. We didn't really notice because we were deep in discussion the entire time, but it did impact our day. There were five of us, and we each ordered a bottle of kombucha to drink. All they had to do was go back to the fridge and bring us the bottles, but it took us asking three times before they were able to bring them to the table. And don't get me started on our requests for glasses with ice. I ordered one of their daily specials, a fish sandwich served with a simple green salad. Once we were finally served, we each tucked in and devoured our meals. The food was delicious - not just my own, but everyone else's, as was evidenced by the break in conversation - and very filling. The only thing about my sandwich is that the bun was overly large. I ended up knocking the fish filet out of the bun in order to finish. And of course, I can't forget to comment on the decor and layout of the building. It's so wide open and comfortable, both inside and out. Parking is ample and free, and easy to access, after following the signs. If you ever have a need for an event space, keep this location in mind, as well. We had a happy hour here in April of this year, and it was so well-received. The space (upstairs) is wide open, with a conference room space connected to it. The layout upstairs is just as fun and funky as the downstairs space, and the staff is just as accommodating as the staff downstairs. Definitely a good find for those corporate events. read more

It's Brian Malarkey, so you know it's going to be good. Beautiful, cool, open spaces. Plus fun stuff, like bag toss, ping pong, pool, and games in a laid-back atmosphere and great service. Trivia Thur. Night and live music Fri. Night (the guy tonight was great). They have happy hour Thurs and Fri 4-8 pm w/ $7.25 Malarkey Margaritas, $6.75 wine, wells and beer. They also make some beautiful, tasty craft cocktails - love the blackberry smash. And they have have some HH bites -- fish tacos, meatballs, mussels, burger, poke, pizza, shishito peppers, etc. Have tried the meatballs (very good), burger, poke and meatball pizza, but my favorites are probably the "purist" margherita pizza and the poke. Definitely want to come back and try their lunch next time I'm in the area! read more

Obsessed with the vibe here! I could stay all day. The bar has great drinks with a pool table and large tv to watch games. Outside was relaxing, clean and great. The food was good, especially the chicken and polenta. Highly recommend for a good vibe read more

Green acre is unmistakably farm to table. There are gardens flanking each side of the office park it's located in. It's also rustically upscale, similar to farmer and the seahorse. I think Malarky restaurants are generally pretty good but a little over hyped. For example Herb and Wood was not nearly as good as Fort Oak, Trust, or Whisknladle, but Herringbone is better than Catania, Gravity Heights, and oddly, Herb and Wood. Green Acre sort of falls in the middle. It's definitely a lunch spot. The sandwich menu is very impressive but a little short on flavor. It was pretty good but not in the same league as Rocky's. Well decorated, menu reads well on paper, but fell a little short of expectations. read more

The place was really pretty, but that was about it. Came here with my family for their HH. The first thing we noticed was that they were not wheelchair/stroller friendly from the parking lot. Unless we missed it somehow, but I don't think we did. We were told that only outdoor seating was available at the time, which was fine since it was really nice out. Our bottle of water had stuff floating in it. Had to change the bottle, the second one has less stuff floating in it... My BIL and I ordered drinks off of their HH menu. His drink had a dead insect in it, when we gave it back to the waitress, she said, that's what happen when eating outside... but like, it came to our table like that, so were they making the drinks outside or what? The menu is already fairly limited, but how did they run out of so many food items on a Friday? They ran out of spam, and some other menu items which kinda restricted their already limited menu to a few items. The burger was burnt, the fries were kinda lackluster. Pretty much, if I could use one word for this spot, it'd be underwhelming. But the place was pretty... read more

Tired of your every day cafeteria food? Check this place out! Surroundings is very green and the decor is absolutely beautiful. I love their tasty, modern decor and the lay out of it. I thought the jail tables were funny and unique. The bar feature was also a big plus :) Get here before 12 and you'll get your food and service really fast. Come here after noon and everybody and their mothers are here. I tried the root fries, Mary's chicken and the pepperoni pizza. I loved Mary's chicken! So juicy and tender. The pepperoni pizza wasn't any special or outstanding, just a pepperoni pizza. The root fries were cool, some odd root plants that I didn't imagine as fries became fries. I would definitely come back for the chicken. read more

I'm not the biggest Brian Malarkey fan but I applaud his restaurant success here in San Diego. I've visited Searsucker and Burlap but had yet to dine in his casual restaurants such as Green Acre. We tried visiting the other Green Acre location but that attempt ended pretty poorly. There's indoor and outdoor seating. I was confused as I thought they had a cafeteria-like ordering style here at Green Acre. But no, you find a table and have to find a server to come take your order. I had a feeling this would be a longer than expected lunch. We ordered: HAVANA AFFAIR This was a nice sized sandwich. The pork shoulder was shaved not too thin and I enjoyed the abundant gruyere cheese on top of the meat. TOMATO SOUP The soup tasted lukewarm and needed more salt. It tasted watery. I'm sorry but I can't remember the green topping that on the soup that day (was it cilantro oil? perhaps pesto-like oil?). CORN COBB The salad was a nice portion and the proteins were plentiful. Here's where I'm realizing how you can tell if you enjoyed a dish or not: you can't remember the specifics of the dish. And I'm having a hard time remembering details of certain items that day. HAWAIIAN BRICK OVEN BAR (GLUTEN FREE +2) Friend is proudly (but not happily) on a gluten free diet at the moment so she chose to try the gluten free pizza here at Green Acre. It's a nice sized pizza and it was honestly my first time having gluten free pizza crust. I'm not sure how to explain the taste of this gluten free crust. The texture was a bit strange - very chewy but not in a 'pizza' way. There was an after taste that I just *couldn't* pin point and that Annie said takes getting used to. It just didn't taste like the yeasty dough I had grown up eating with pizza. I guess, for lack of better word, the gluten free tasted more 'artificial' to me. But hey, so did splenda when I first tried it and then I loved it for umpteenth years right. Service was excruciatingly slow. So slow. It was almost unbearable at times as I was running late for my meeting. I think we were there for almost two hours from start to finish. Our server did bring out a complimentary cookie as he probably over heard us say it was a birthday lunch that day. I loved the ooey-gooey semi sweet chocolate in this cookie. Definitely a winner in our book that day. I might retry Green Acre but I'd have to make sure that there's no time crunch on the next visit. I recently visited Farmer & The Seahorse and thought the food + service at the newest Malarkey restaurant was better than what we tried at Green Acre. Maybe the other Green Acre location is better? So we'll see. read more

One of our favorite lunch spots around work from Chef Brian Malarkey. I love all his restaurants!! Green Acre is spacious and has outside patio seating as well has inside seating with variety of booth and lounge settings. We love their flat breads and their amazing root fries( the seasoning is always on point !). Husband always orders their sandwiches as the ingredients are framework fresh and delicious! Lounge area inside has a bunch of board games to hangout with a group of friends ! We have always had fun time here and will return for more! read more

Malarkey's places, I am not really a fan. But each place still has to be evaluated on it's own. So this one is located in an office bldg that used to have Fibonacci. I give credit to Malarkey's team for turning the place to something completely different. More spaces are portioned off so that you can have intimacy or groups eating. There are several spaces designed to cater to small groups privately. The food itself was from fresh and seasonal ingredients (a trend that he might be a little behind on - see Seasons 52 and other restaurants in the SD area). The special of the day was a Loko Moko, I guess his take is fine but I was not enamored with the sticky fried rice. The lack of gravy might also be something to consider since in Hawaii, that was part of the allure of loko moko from an ordinary hamburger patty on rice. The pizza was simple but it came with a nice amount of salad which was nice. We also tried the chili and found it fine but not too spicy for my friend (I would prefer a kick). I think the overall decor and change to the space put him over the 3 stars. The food would be considered a 3 star at this time until we try other items in the menu. The service was very good and courteous. It wasn't very crowded when we went but I would have to see how they handle crowds. For now breakfast and lunch only. If they do the happy hour, I am sure my friend and I will return with several others. read more
