    #29 Salami and Pastrami. First time here and will definitely be back. Great sandwich and wonderful service!

    Club special

    My oh my. Did this pregnant lady FEAST. Everything was soooo delicious, from the fresh fruit smoothie, to our sandwiches and the Mac salad. She even threw in a few chocolate chip cookies. We're here on vacation and sad we only have 1 more day, cause if we didn't we would probably eat here for lunch every day! I will be dreaming of this sandwich for quite some time. Thanks Judy!

    Monster burrito claiming potato,ham, cheese and EGG
    Joe N.

    In her menu she puts that are monster breakfast burritos are $3 and some change. I ordered it over the phone and once driving there She charged me 7.55 and het only response was that the menu is OLD. IT'S HER RESPONSIBILITY TO CHANGE IT. Otherwise she's luring in customers, falsely advertising and making a living. I could have went anywhere else and got a decent burrito with more ham and real cheese for the same pricing.

    If you like to support small businesses, I recommend trying this place out! Judy is super sweet and very welcoming. Sandwiches are great for the price and there's tons of snacks and drinks to buy on the side. I'll be definitely be returning to this deli!

Walked inside thinking I was just gonna grab a burger, and next thing I know I'm wandering around looking at all the meats, marinades, sauces, chips, drinks, and sandwiches like I was about to host a backyard BBQ for the whole neighborhood. This place is dangerous if you like to cook. I asked the guy behind the counter what I should order because I wasn't trying to make a bad decision. Without hesitation he said, Aged Burger and the Philly.....Say less. We grabbed those and ordered the fries extra crispy because that's the only way fries should be eaten. Man... everything was hella good. The burger was juicy, the Philly hit the spot, and those extra crispy fries disappeared way faster than I want to admit.... They've got plenty of outdoor seating too, so we just kicked back, ate, and enjoyed the vibe. I already know every time I'm in the area I'm coming here because wise ox is greater than shake shack I'm Js!

    Very friendly service…read more Butcher shop for when you want it fresh for dinner or throw on the grill for the weekend. There is a small menu of sandwiches and a few side items you can grab for the moment, a handful of tables to eat at if you can't wait till you make it home. Tons of spice and sauce options as well if you arn't a from scratch person.

Apparently half of Carlsbad had the same idea because this place was hopping in the middle of a workday. My husband will try pretty much anything that sounds different, unusual, or like it might require an explanation. He loved his sandwich. Me? I'm a proud Plain Jane when it comes to sandwiches. I know who I am. Give me a good French dip and leave me alone. This is the third Board & Brew location I've been to, and their French dip honestly never disappoints. The beef was sliced perfectly, tender, juicy, and practically melted in my mouth. Then there's the au jus, which was so good I was seriously contemplating whether drinking it directly from the cup would be socially acceptable. And no, I don't need cheese, onions, peppers, or seventeen other things piled on top. Meat. Bread. Au jus. That's the test. A really good French dip should be able to stand on its own without getting dressed up for prom, and this one absolutely can. Despite how busy they were, the staff kept everyone moving quickly and efficiently without making you feel rushed. Great service, great food, and clearly a popular lunch stop. Now for my one gripe, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the food. The bathrooms are outside and around the back of the building. As a woman, being sent around the back of a building in an industrial area to pee feels a little less "lunch in Carlsbad" and a little more like the opening scene of a Dateline episode. Food? Excellent. Staff? Excellent. French dip? Still undefeated. Highly recommend. Just maybe pee before you go.

It was delicious as always. I had it with a half corn beef sandwich extra lean. I would not recommend the extra lean corned beef. It was kind of dry.

    Dined on a Tuesday at noon with my 2 year old nephew…read more What went well: service was friendly and they were kid friendly. Why the low rating? We ordered a kids pot pie which the menu states comes with a side and beverage (chose mashed potatoes and milk) and a half sandwich and soup with a diet coke and a small black and white cookie to go. Food did come out promptly but we were overwhelmed with flies that it was unpleasant to eat in the dining room. Despite having fans on the table to try and keep them away, they were so plentiful and landed on us constantly that my 2 year old nephew was able to kill one just trying to shoo them away with a napkin! If this is what the dining room is like I can't imagine the kitchen situation. It was so unpleasant that we asked for boxes shortly after getting the food and just ate the soup in the restaurant. The food runner commented that my nephew was served an adult pot pie instead of a kids pot pie so I didn't say anything about his missing side (and he had decided he only wanted my soup anyways). When we got the bill I noticed that I had been charged for the kids milk (3.50 for a kids drink and then another 2.25 for milk so 5.75 total). When pointed out that it said drinks were ncluded in the kids menu she told me that actually weren't but did take it off my bill this time. Our total with tax and tip was over 50 dollars for a kids meal, half a chicken salad sandwich, soup, a cookie, and a single diet coke (no refill was offered and priced at 5.25 by itself). The high prices and unpleasant fly situation make me unlikely to return to Milton's in the future which is a shame since AI have enjoyed it in the past

That said, I've noticed a few things lately that have made it a little harder to shop here, especially as the store seems to be getting busier and busier. The biggest challenge has honestly been the crowds. It feels like the popularity of the market has really grown, which is great to see, but it can make the experience a little overwhelming. I also think it may be worth considering a larger location at some point. Parking can be incredibly difficult, especially if you have a larger vehicle, and getting in and out can sometimes be a challenge. I also recently had an unfortunate experience with a few items I purchased. The girl who helped me at the register was very kind and bagged the majority of my items, but a couple of smaller items were left outside of the bag. I was in a rush and completely forgot to grab them before I left, even though I had already paid for everything. I realized it later and called the store to explain what happened. They were kind enough to put my name on a bag and hold the items for me, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, when I came back later that week to pick them up, the items couldn't be found. It seemed like there was some miscommunication between the staff, which was really disappointing because I had specifically called ahead and was told they would be held for me. I completely understand that things can get misplaced, especially in a busy store, but it was frustrating knowing that I had already paid for the items and had made a trip back specifically to retrieve them. I also didn't have my receipt anymore because I had assumed everything had been placed in my bag, which I realize was ultimately my mistake. It's definitely something I won't let happen again. What was disappointing was that, even though the staff remembered me coming in previously, the items ultimately weren't replaced or resolved. I understand that mistakes happen, but I think this could have been handled a little better. Even with these issues, I still genuinely love Seaside Market and want to see it continue to do well. I know that growing crowds and increased popularity can create challenges, but I do think there are opportunities to improve the overall customer experience, especially when it comes to parking, managing the crowds, and communication between team members. The prices have definitely been climbing, and with the store becoming busier, it's getting a little harder to visit than it used to be. Still, there's a reason I've been coming here for years, and I'll continue to support the market. I just hope they're able to find ways to make the experience a little easier as the business continues to grow.
