    Two of "the classics" One "Rosiemac" One "the little Sal"
    Emily B.

    We decided to try Rosemaries Buns & Brews after seeing them online and thought their concept looked really cool. They recently opened, so we were excited to check them out! The burgers were really good, and I especially loved that you can try two different burger options for the price of one larger burger. The Little Sal was packed with flavor and ended up being one of my personal favorites. One thing to note since they just opened: they're still in the final stages of getting their liquor license, so unfortunately we didn't get to try any of their brews this time around. They did offer a great alternative, you can head over to one of the breweries across the street since they partner with them. I definitely think once they get their liquor license approved, this will be a five-star experience for me! The service was also great, and everyone was very friendly and welcoming.

    I had rosemarys for the first time several years ago out of the food truck, served personally by Nick the owner himself before he had brick and mortar locations. It was mind blowing good back then, and when I drove by and noticed a brick and mortar location in Encinitas I had to stop and try again. I figured with a 3rd location the quality can't be as good as when nick made it himself. I was wrong. Perfection - chefs kiss. Nick knows what he's doing. His customer service has transcended into his locations when he isn't even there and the food quality is still stellar. Unbelievable nick! Keep it up! Clapping my way through the loaded fries and trying not to cry as I'm eating the perfect meal for yet another pregnancy. Rosemarys building my babies one pregnancy at a time. Don't skip this one, to all the foodies. Won't regret.

    Rosemarie's is a quirky little SD chain featuring deluxe sliders. There's really no argument that this is one of the best places to enjoy some beef. What I like about this location is they have a private parking lot in the back. There is also free street parking. The service has been genuine and helpful. I also really love the chicken wings and onion rings. I also like that they serve Kern's nectar in a can which is a memory from my childhood. Seriously cannot go wrong with any of the food- it's incredible. Inside and outside patio. It's right in the heart of downtown Encinitas.

    Bomb! Literally stopped by here bc we were at the beach and thank goodness I walked in!!! The Wagyu sliders and soft shell crab was soooo good! Start w the crab (so unique) and then end w the Wagyu! The sliders are small so it's perfect! We also got the elite loaded fries toooed w jalapeños and picked carrots/ cabbage. They were good except very saucey!!! I would ask for it WELL DONE bc I like my fries crispy. Our experience was really good, thanks Justin for your friendly service!!! We took our food Togo bc we wanted some beer so went across the street to culture. Thanks again!

    Rosemarie's is right on the edge of a high 4 and a low 5 stars. The food was very good; I tried the Cajun soft shell crab slider, the Classic, and the Little Sal. The Classic was definitely my favorite, and everything was really yummy. Nothing was too outstanding, but I enjoyed every bite and would happily order them again. I'm also glad I ordered a third slider because two probably wouldn't have been quite enough to fill me up. The service was very professional, and the staff gave us some great recommendations. The location was really cool as well. They were in the process of getting their liquor license sorted out, so we ended up sitting at a brewery across the street and they brought our food over to us, which actually worked out perfectly since we planned on having a couple beers with friends. I had a great experience and would gladly return in the future. With just a little extra something, I could easily see this becoming a 5-star spot for me!

    Cajun Softshell Crab, Award Winning RosieMac, The Luau
    Jennifer N.

    Fun little casual spot! We had a hard time narrowing it down but decided on three different sliders (the rosiemac, the luau, and the cajun soft shell crab) and shared a side of onion rings. Everything was hot, fresh, well seasoned, and high quality. The sliders were smaller than we anticipated but ended up being filling enough. You order at the counter, take a number, and find a seat. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available. We'll be back to try a few more of the slider flavors and the wings!

    Spicy Elote Fries
    Molly L.

    We came here on a weekend afternoon and a World Cup game was playing in the back patio and although the AC was not on (unclear if they have any) on a warm day, it was windy and the shaft made it breezy and cool in the back patio (couldn't say the same for the front part). I ordered elite fries while my friends order the crispy chicken slider and the Hawaiian burger with fries. The fries were generous and overall everyone thought their food was pretty good. However the "elote" fries had very little corn and I could hardly see what was elote about it to be honest. Everyone else said their sandwiches were pretty standard so I'm not sure if we have super high expectations for this place or anything.

    Pick two Award Winning RosieMac and Bombay Hot Chicken
    Nell C.

    Ambiance is nice and lots of seating provided. Ordering wait times need to be improved. We waited approximately 15 minutes at the counter. Recommend someone dedicated to the ordering counter during high peak times. The gent that took our order looked overwhelmed and flustered when he addressed the customers. The sliders we had were too oily. Tasty, but found ourselves thinking twice about what we ate afterwards. The Pick Two meal and wings were ordered. Wagyu was nicely cooked. Bombay was fine. When ordering wings, we asked for the Hickory Honey Dry Rub wings and then was asked what flavor sauce and chose Mango Habanero. I noticed something was wrong with total when I paid but didn't address. Then when wings were brought out we were provided the Hickory Honey Dry Rub in Mango Habanero flavor and second wings (not ordered but charged for) Caesar's Famous Mango Habanero. Note next time verify order before paying. Thanks!

    Super awesome place to go with the kiddos. It's a family friendly restaurant with a great outdoor patio area for the kids to play before or after eating. The burgers were great! Sliders on a nice brioche bun. They were maybe a tad too oily for me but overall delicious. I think the only drawback was the fries. It has so much potential but it was undercooked which made the blue cheese bacon fries a bit lackluster. Brussels sprouts were good but not to die for. Overall we'd come back for a bite again!

    Laurie B.

    Had such a great experience at Rosemarie's! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and everything felt so inviting. Justin was especially wonderful--he was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. You can tell he genuinely cares about making sure everyone has a great experience. Great service, great vibes, and I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend checking this place out!

    Such a cute new spot! Rosemarie's was the perfect find for our book club. We sat in the back and loved how spacious it felt. The sliders were delicious and definitely the highlight! They don't have their liquor license for beer yet, but I was happy with my iced tea for now. Kane was so sweet and welcoming. He even brought our food out to us after we ordered at the counter. It got a bit chilly in the back, so bring a sweater until they get some heat lamps! Can't wait to come back for a round of drinks once the bar is fully open.

    Award Winning RosieMac!

I think lunch might have been a better choice because the sun would not have been shining directly in our faces. Not much that the owners can do about that, unfortunately, and the umbrellas needed some securing as the breeze kept turning them away. The food is good, including some unique choices. I enjoyed my elk burger, which was different for me, but didn't care for the gluten-free bun. It was too crumbly and seemed more like a cornbread mix, although it is house made which is great. I would recommend that they tweak the recipe for those of us who avoid wheat. The service was really good, and I will definitely come back! Brunch on the front patio might be a great choice.

LOL. No but seriously, I am completely and utterly in-love with this place. I am a huge sandwich person but so I am particular about where I go. Has to ya know, check alllll the boxes etc. Ernie's has stolen my sammy-heart. I believe I've had every single sandwich on the menu at this point and I enjoyed every single one of them. If I HAD to choose my favorite sandwich, they would be these: -Italian on Dutch crunch roll -Crispy chicken caesar on Dutch crunch roll -Curry chicken salad on focaccia -Tuna on sourdough ( always add the hot pepper salad) *I love the dutch crunch roll for any of the sandwiches but the focaccia also steals the show quite often. I've been here for dinner as well and my recommendations would be: -Charcuterie board -Bruschetta boards ( you pick 2) but my faves are the prosciutto one (the prosciutto is chopped up super small so it's perfect and not all stringy like it can be at times) which comes with mascarpone, pistachios, arugula and lemon curd. My other fave is the brie, green apple with honey and sea salt. Another thing to mention is I'm not a huge brie person BUT I adore it if it's triple cream brie. This my friends, is triple cream so it's fantastic. -The fries are also fantastic and the chocolate chip cookies are fire. I'm not even a sweets person but I inhaled it when I tried it. It was delish. -Italian chopped salad- so good and really light but somehow filling at the same time. In the best way possible. I get it all the time. They have a huge wine selection both at the bar and in their fridge section which you can browse while you're in line. They have a wine club as well! I always love a more local mom n pop type place in general vs chains and this place is just a vibe no matter what time of day you go.
