    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!

    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

    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!

    BIERGARDEN @ ENCINITAS…read more Parking can be a little difficult since this spot is located right on the main strip in Encinitas. There's parallel street parking throughout the area, so you might get lucky and find a spot nearby. I ended up parking on one of the side streets, which worked out perfectly. I came here on a Sunday afternoon, and it was definitely busy. We had to wait a little while for a table because several tables still needed to be cleaned before they could seat new guests. The staff was incredibly friendly, though, and we were seated as soon as they could. It did take about 15 minutes before a server was able to come over and take our order, but the restaurant was completely packed, so it's something to keep in mind if you're in a hurry. After spending the day at the beach, we were really just in the mood for drinks. I ordered the Blood Orange Margarita, which can be served with Tajín, sea salt, or no rim at all. It was really good and definitely on the stronger side, which I appreciated. My only complaint was that there was a bit too much ice, but the flavor itself was great. The atmosphere is what really makes this place stand out. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, large open windows that let in plenty of fresh air, and a fun, lively vibe that makes it a great place to relax after a beach day. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the ambiance and cocktails, just be prepared for a little wait if you visit during peak hours.

However she still loved the burger. Also all the pictures online show that they have WAFFLE FRIES - THEY DO NOT. The service was good and they were helpful in fixing the issues with the onion rings. Ambiance is very loud being right on the 101 but it's not terrible.

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.

    A visit to Total Wine in Encinitas for "curbside pickup" now includes a complimentary gaslighting…read moresession. I ordered a specific vintage Rioja online for curbside pickup. They swapped my order with a younger vintage and failed to mention it. No email. No, "We substituted this because we're out of stock--is that okay?" They quietly swapped it, hoping I wouldn't notice or wouldn't care. But I was buying a Rioja, not a Walmart box wine. I discovered the switch, had to leave my car, grab a shopping cart, go back inside, and find someone to help. That's when the tap dance began. The first employee pretended that vintages didn't matter. He called in the self-proclaimed expert, who introduced himself with, "I'm the wine guy. What's the problem?" As it turns out, the problem was standing right in front of me. Rather than acknowledge that substituting a vintage without informing the customer might be an issue, he spent several minutes explaining why it shouldn't matter. Eventually he landed on, "It's just a $30 bottle of wine." Actually, it was a case. Twelve bottles--$360 of wine. He asserted the two wines were equally rated when they were not. A review from home revealed the younger substitute averaged a full point lower rating (WA, WS, JD, WE, TA). As I explained that vintage and ratings represent value, he interrupted. When I politely asked not to be interrupted, he rolled his eyes, looked away, and said it was time to find a manager. Manager David was as helpful as helpful as a light bulb without electricity. He asked what the problem was. I went through the list, concluding that if he wanted to sell a younger wine with a questionable rating he should have said so and provided some kind of discount. He seemed remarkably uninterested in discussing wine ratings, vintages and economics, so I asked for a refund. That took another ten minutes on top of the twenty I had already wasted. As I left, he offered a casual, "Sorry about that," delivered with all the sincerity of an automated voicemail. Total Wine in Encinitas may be convenient, but their service, honesty and wine knowledge is not. I prefer Vintage Wines out on Miramar Rd for superior wine knowledge, service and honesty.

The two guys that (I'm assuming) run the store are genuinely nice and do exactly what they're supposed to! If anyone has ever worked in customer service - you would know how absolutely exhausting it is to work with people ALL DAY. God forbid a liquor store at that... Cut them some slack, seriously. As for the actual products, I can't say much about the alcohol but the selection of snacks is honestly great! Lots of non-alcoholic drinks + a small selection of essentials (like batteries for example). I always come here for snacks and drinks. Easy in and out, no hassle, everything is set up very clearly organized as well. *As for the "labubu review", this is LIQUOR STORE. Of course it's going to be fake. Come here with the expectation that it's a liquor store, it's honestly fine and has everything it's supposed to.

    The previous owners were amazing. Friendly, kind and always had a smile for you. They were a…read morebeautiful family of four. I was devastated to hear the father died suddenly and they were forced to sell. But I hoped the mom and kids found their way because they deserved it. I was encouraged that the new buyers remodeled and offered more. But prices went up and friendliness was non existent. No hello, no smile, no nothing. Making it very clear they don't want to be there or even spend two minutes checking you out on their overpriced goods. I'm a block away, and after two years, I'm done. I won't spend another dime there. I'll drive two blocks east to see a fellow human being who smiles and is welcoming. This life is tough for us all, I finally asked "Do you not like working here?" And he went off on me, taken aback by the question...then said "I've been here all day" ...i responded with I spent all day working too and I still managed to show kindness to others, especially customers" he obviously didn't like that but I don't care. I'm done. We can choose where to spend our hard earned money and I won't spend another cent there. I hope their hatred of the job encourages them to sell and the next owners are good people. I'll go back then.
