    French Dip! The sesame bun is so delicious

    Yum! We tried this sandwich shop not knowing what to expect since there aren't many reviews and we hadn't heard of it before. It's in an office park/corporate office area, but as soon as you walk in you feel like you're just hanging out in a cool, laid-back brewery! Great TV set up, and lots of sports on TV We tried the French dip and the Smokey Java Joe. I'd give the French dip a 8.5/10 and the Smokey Java Joe a solid 10/10 - it was sooo delicious! The toasted sesame buns are perfect, and it's nice that all the sandwiches come with a bag of chips! We will definitely be back :) The service was really friendly and welcoming, food was delicious and the vibes were great.

    This is a cool brewery that makes sandwiches too. They show games and seems to have a lot of locals here. Tables to eat or hangout at inside. Dog friendly. The beer was good. Not a standout but not bad either. I ordered a few sandwiches. I thought the roast beef one was decent. Tasted like thin roast beef you'd buy prepackaged. The dip wasn't that great. And the last sandwich has heavy mayo on it, and wasn't great either. I'd go to board and brew in the future unless I just want a beer the this is an option

    Visited during lunch and the vibes were immaculate! Very chill place to have a beer and some bites. Bringing my doggie next time to check out the afternoon menu.

    I found this place after trying to satisfy a craving I had. I was craving a Reuben, and locally toasted came through! The ordering area is also like bar seating but I sat at a table. The bartender also gave me a recommendation for a beer they had on tap. I don't typically drink beer but I gave it a shot. I actually enjoyed the beer as well. Place was clean and seemed to be busy with locals. Had a very laid back atmosphere. I would come back for sure, no complaints.

    The food is incredible very high quality food and fresh ingredients. I've also heard that the beer is good. Cashier is nice wait time is a little high. The ambience their is fun with artwork all over the walls overall great place.

    Cuban!

    I didn't even know this place was here but I'm so glad I checked out "lunch" on Yelp today lol. I got the Cuban because that's usually my go-to at any sandwich shop that offers it and what? Guava jam??? Ugh perfect. While it's not a traditional Cuban, I almost like the casualness of it with the twist of jam. The sweet and tangy combo with that killer bread? Perf. The place was so cool inside as it's definitely got the chill craft bar vibes which I'd like to come and try when I'm not on a 30 minute break lol. The guys who helped serve me were super chill and kind. I'll for sure be back! :)

    Friendly staff and cool brewery spot! I ordered a Smokey Joe sandwich (totally forgot to take a pic bc I was so hungry!) to go, and hung out at the bar while waiting. There is a pin ball machine.. overall cool vibe if you're looking for a chill place to go to for a beer and hang out.

    Love this place!!! I've lived in Carlsbad for quite some time but I stumbled upon this place pretty recently. The staff are very friendly and the ambiance is very chill. My favorite sandwich is the Smokey Joe-- it's the perfect warm sandwich with turkey and avocado and just the right amount of spice. This a great place to grab a beer and hang with friends.

    Pronto's is a Carlsbad staple. It's been around for ever it seems and every visit is as great as…read morethe first. The menu is varied and includes everything from classic American to classic Italian dishes. Pronto's is also a market, filled with freshly made pastas, soups, entrees and salads. The market area has everything from wine to chips to sauces and more. Always fantastic service and food.

    I used to frequent this place quite a bit in the past before the new owners took over…read more Speaking only from my experience, this place has changed a lot, prices have gone up but that's not a shock, everywhere you go nowadays and doesn't have to be even a decent deli, sandwiches are ridiculously expensive, $16 for a sandwich? Really? Or even more depending where you go. Frankly I don't know how anyone can afford it any longer but that's a different story. The new owners still don't even seem to know what they are doing after I would say 3yrs now, maybe even more since taking over this place. I used to love going here, now I go maybe once every 3 months if even that and I know why. The service is not the same, the owners are clueless and the food doesn't taste the same at all. The atmosphere of feeling like you are at home when most everyone but mostly the owner remembered you, would come talk to you, helped you and knew what she was taking about, is all gone. I was there yesterday for one of my favorite sandwiches, meatball sandwich. I like that the meatballs are small, not a size of a baseball or even larger, just perfect size, tasty etc. I go up to the register and instead of his clueless wife when you ask her a question and she looks at you as if you're from another planet then has to go and ask one of her employees which that in itself looks totally bad, this time was her husband who looks to me for now the 4th time through the year I visited, that should just stick to staying in the gym since he looks like someone that takes care of himself that way, quite fit, and although nothing at all with that, perhaps leave the deli part of it to someone else and go back to working out instead, it seems his forte. When I told him the sandwich I wanted, he clearly said to me "what would you like with the sandwich" a question I was never asked before because it simply came with a small bag of chips or pasta salad, so I asked what did the sandwich come with, "it comes" the word that he used "it comes with", not "extra charge" and he mentioned French fries, bag of chips while he pointed where the chips were, pasta salad. I said, "I'll try the French fries". Not ONE TIME he said to me that none of the items he mentioned to me were extra charge, I even told him, "oh they come with all that you just told me"? He said yes. When I paid the total came to $24 dollars, the sandwich itself was $13.65 and a coke that I ordered was $3, how did it get to $24? Well, the French fries were extra cost. Had I chosen a bag of chips, the once he pointed at were also extra charge just like if I ordered pasta salad, I found out about the extra charge from the lady that brought me the sandwich and I asked why my bill was $24 dollars, SHE, not the owner told me about the extra charges. After I said to her, "why didn't or doesn't the owner tell you so instead of saying that these extras come with the sandwich" she looked at me and said "I don't know". She didn't even know however any of the prices of the sandwich they sell. These are the new employees now. I know you are going to think why I didn't ask right away why my bill was $24 dollars. I didn't even think about it immediately, I was hungry at this point, the place was quite busy and I wanted to find a place to sit, no excuse, but didn't think about it right away. Not until I set down and then started thinking about why my bill was higher. That was my fault. I should have immediately asked and actually I should have gone to the owner afterwards and mentioned to him that he should tell the customers correctly, meaning do NOT SAY "IT COMES WITH" that means IS NOT EXTRA CHARGE. He needs to say that wherever we want with it, there is an extra, then up to the customer if he/she wants it or not. The sandwich did not taste like the way it used to taste, meatballs still small but they were very salty, and the fries although I will say cooked pretty nice, crispy and all, a very small portion and also very salty. Overall and sadly for me because I truly liked this place a lot with the previous owner, it's not a place I would go back to. The prices are as high and now higher than any other place nowadays, nothing spectacular, their bakery department is now very limited, used to be huge and very nice selections, they used to have a pastry chef in the back that made the best deserts, and I don't know if they also changed cook, but nothing tastes the same. The place is always very busy, so I am sure I won't be missed, I won't waste my money here again. The new owners should by now know what they sell, know how to interact with customers better, know the job they took over. The owners before were absolutely wonderful and great to talk to, they would interact with you ask you if everything was ok, great service from the staff. I miss them and the new owners really need to step up, it's time. The place also very dirty on floors, tables, trash cans totally disgusting and filthy.

    I am so in awe over this place. My partner heard about it over conversation from some really cool…read morecustomers at her work, and decided to suprise me! Wayde (I hope thats spelled correctly) was so sweet when we walked in and gave us the run down and made some great suggestions. If you plan on sitting down to eat, I highly recommend getting there early because seating is limited but also its a great spot to grab and go to the beach! We got the DBL (as first timers) with the beef fat fries. The flavor profile and portions are SOOO worth it. Be wise and come to The Wise Ox

    our DRY-AGED BURGERS (havarti, bacon, mustard, mayo, and house-made pickles) weren't just dry-aged,…read morethey were drier than old boot leather. I get that smash burgers are all the rage these days, but if a burger patty spends as much time on the second side as it did on the first, it's not crustified; it's as tough and juiceless as jerky. an abundance of aging primals are on display at the WISE OX. when they're cut into steaks, the trimmings are ground for burgers. a not-particularly-wise cow died for our sins (so said the family's vegan son who begged off lunch). honor that and cook the meat properly. to not do so is beyond sacrilegious. if I told the meat cutter (aka the "butcher") I was going to use the dry-aged Rib Eyes or New Yorks he'd just carved up to make jerky, he'd be horrified. so, why isn't he raging at the guy on the grill doing that to our burgers? the BEEF FAT FRIES (aka Tallow Fried Fries) still have great flavor, but are still way, way, way too salty. check the photo, and count the visible salt crystals if your cardiologist's on speed dial.
