Seriously...Gave this place another try and had lunch. Huge mistake. We ordered a steak finger…read morebasket that had French fries and toast. There were 2 tiny pieces of steak and 2 longer ones. The oil the fried them in tasted old. The French fries were ok. For almost $16, NOT WORTH IT. The girl that took our order couldn't figure out that it was our order when it came out. We were the only ones there without food. The other couple had already eaten. Just weird. We won't go back ever.

This was my first time in here. We had just had a snack at a food truck outside and decided to go…read morein. The owner gave us a sample of their tater tots, they're air fried! They have a lot of choices for snacks, including ice cream, Hawaiian shaved ice and snow cones. I'm excited to go back to try the Korean shaved ice or the rolled ice cream. I went with another teacher friend and he offered us coupons for our kids. That is so nice of him. It is in the building next to elevate coffee. You can go in through the front or back way inside a small, but there's plenty of tables to sit in outside. I hope everyone in Carlsbad stops by and gives this place a try.

I would suggest you always have change, because very often, the vending machine won't accept bills or even my credit card. So far, it has always accepted my quarters. In the summer months, they run out of ice early in the day, so I stock up every time I go!

The burritos do run a little on the smaller side, but they're packed with flavor and definitely hit the spot. The salsa bar actually brings the heattttt spicy spicy, not just "I promise it's hot" spicy and the guac has legit flavor. Best part? You finish your meal and casually wander next door because it's connected to an ice cream and fruiteria situation. Dinner + dessert without even leaving the building. Say less.

The taco was crispy and filled with delicious meat, and the consommé was rich and flavorful. If I hadn't been on the road, I probably would have ordered another one. The portion was generous, and the price was fair too. The service was quick, and the overall dining environment was bright and clean. Definitely a great local recommendation and a spot I'd happily come back to.

Sad that it shut down but this was the best ice cream until it closed. It was clean inside.read more

While visiting Carlsbad Caverns we stayed in town for a couple days and had dinner here our first…read morenight. The waitress who served us was wonderful, friendly, attentive, and incredibly kind to our dog. Prices were very reasonable and the portions were generous. The only negative part of the evening had nothing to do with the restaurant. A man seated next to us spent much of dinner being rude and entitled, repeatedly questioning how the salmon was prepared, criticizing the wine list, and generally acting unpleasant toward the staff. The blonde waitress with glasses handled the situation with impressive patience and professionalism. Honestly, it took restraint not to say something myself. She did a fantastic job dealing with a very difficult customer and deserves recognition for it.

Arrived in that quiet lull between lunch and dinner and found the place mostly empty. Once the…read morehostess finally reappeared and got the couple ahead of us seated -- and eventually us -- things improved. Our server stepped in quickly with menus, drinks, and a level of attentiveness that helped smooth over the slow start. The Fish & Fries was fine, nothing remarkable. The chicken tenders came out hot and were clearly real chicken, but they carried a noticeable fish flavor from the shared fryer. The Tuscan Spicy Chicken pasta was the opposite experience: a huge portion, easily enough for two, and genuinely flavorful. The Steak Soft Tacos didn't land as well -- the steak was a bit tough and didn't bring much flavor. Dessert didn't redeem things. The Chocolate Lava Cake á la mode had good vanilla ice cream, but the cake itself was dry, the "lava" was basically Hershey's syrup, and the whole thing lacked any standout chocolate flavor. A mixed visit overall -- some bright spots, some misses -- landing solidly in the middle.
