The moment we opened doors. We were greeted with staff and they were prompt and ready to take our order. I saw that they carried craft beer! The cashier gave us samples to try, it was the cherry cola and orange soda. That was super cool. I really liked the orange soda. It tasted light and just the right amount of sweetness. The food was great! It was what I expected. The portions were huge, we had to bring leftovers home. Pancakes- fresh, hot, buttery, and loved the presentation! Carne asada quesadilla- delicious and savory! Chili cheese fries- it was ok, I wouldn't order again. The menu is a little overwhelming only because everything looks/sounds so good! But for sure we will be back!

The menu sports…read morean extensive selection of quick, short order dishes, such as sandwiches, burgers, tacos, burritos, eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, pancakes, and the crisper, sweetest onion rings I've ever sample. Very basic stuff done well. This location offers a wide variety of craft beers on tap, many local. There's no table service. You order at the counter, find yourself a table, indoors or out, and pick up your food when your order number is called. Angelo's is a local spot you'll come back to often.

Long overdue review of the best burger spot in North County. When I want a burger, definitely…read moreTanner's. When I'm trying to decide on where to eat, Tanner's is always up for consideration. My go-to is the double burger with no cheese and no sauce. They give you the sauce on the side if you want to put some on, but I find it better without it. Pairing it with one of their refreshing beers (N/A from Best Day Brewing available) and their beef tallow fries is perfection. I'm not a fan of their Fatty Patty, a cookie ice cream sandwich -- it's weirdly too fatty of a mouth feel. I really wish they would sell the cookies by themselves. I had them at a different event, and I've wished for more beef tallow choc chip cookies since. If I liked baking, I'd get a tub of their beef tallow (yup, it's for sale) and make them myself. Hint hint to any bakers out there. And if you've read this far, I'll give up one of my hacks. Skip the line and sit at the bar. You can order full menu from there. Even if there's only one seat, you can sit there with a beer and put in your full party's order. Enjoy!!

Definitely a fork-and-knife kind of burger, unless you're ready to get messy and just grab it with your hands. The tallow fries were just as good! Super crispy, light, and not overly greasy. They paired perfectly with the burger, and I could easily eat a whole order on their own. Overall, everything was delicious and super filling. Definitely coming back!

For $10 you can get either tenders or a chicken sandwich as well as a side. We love a good deal! Onto the actual food! I got three Chicken Tenders in their Glow (Mild) spice level. You get to pick from either potato wedges or coleslaw as your side (I went with coleslaw) and it also comes with pickles, a slice of toast, and comeback sauce. Everything hitttt. The chicken tenders are actually ginormous. Absolutely huge, juicy, and covered in a crunchy breading. I will say that the mild was the perfect spice level for me- I think they skew a bit spicy.

Recommended by a coworker I recently had the pleasure of visiting MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes. With so many options I always love to go the traditional route on any first time visit to get a sense of the meat quality, toppings and bun taste. Their signature burger is the MDC which consists of a Double Certified Angus Beef, American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, MOOYAH Sauce on a Signature Potato Bun. This burger was perfect, two good sized beef patties cooked to perfection, melted cheese and just enough sauce to not overtake all the goodness. The bun really stood out as MOOYAH uses a potato bun and it was really fresh and buttery. I think the bun is a difference maker in terms standing out from other burgers I have had in the past. With a combo you get a generous portion of fries which were decent as well as a refillable soda cup. This combo meal got me stuffed and the value was spot on. Definitely put MOOYAH on your hamburger destination list as you will not be disappointed with its vast menu of burger options. Fun fact about Mooyah is that they started in Texas and this Carlsbad location is the first in California as part of the westward expansion.

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.

We ordered a Tijuana panther, a picadillo taco, and a brisket taco. We added a side of their queso and a tortilla with butter. I love the big patio, booths inside, and service. It was pretty slow for not being very busy and what appeared to be overstuffed. The chips and queso were very good. The Tijuana panther taco was sopping wet and I could only finish half of it because it was so messy and hard to eat without asking for a fork and knife. My husband's picadillo taco is where it was at. It was tangy from the pickled jalapenos, meat was beautifully seasoned, and tortilla dry enough to hold. The brisket taco was overstuffed and messy as well. I appreciate packing them full, but when they're served rolled it makes a handheld food item completely inedible by hand. The employee working the register was delightful and I'd go back just for her.
