    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!

    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!

The restaurant provides a self-serve sauce bar with plenty of sauce options. They also provide large paper towel rolls at each table as well as multiple sinks located around the restaurant so that it is easy to clean your hands after eating! The servers are very attentive.

And our server was fantastic. So why, you might ask, only 4 stars in my review. Two reasons: 1). Management has prohibited giving a splash of a beer for someone to sample. Bottom line is that I wanted to order a pint of beer, but I wanted a splash of a couple of beers to try to make my decision. They refused, saying that one must buy a 5oz taster if one wants to taste the beer. I find that policy offensive. In the end I bought a taster to taste the Chuuurch, and then bought an additional pint after. It just seems nickel and dimey, and would be asking to an ice cream place not allowing one to sample their ice creams before buying a cone. I hope management reconsiders this policy. 2. My wife got the Hot Mess Fries and was disappointed not only in the flavor, but also in the misleading advertising. On the menu it specifically said that there was bacon in the fries, but in fact what they put on the fries was either chunks of ham or "Canadian bacon" (which as we all know is a very different thing from "bacon"). If they were or of regular bacon, the kitchen should have told the server this so he could have asked her if she wanted ham as a substitute. And, of they always use ham instead of bacon, them the menu needs to be changed to reflect that.

    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.

Date had a sandwich of some kind and copious amounts of fries. It took a lot of will power for me to not have any of those fries, they looked so yummy! I also had a watermelon beer, this had hints of watermelon flavor and I enjoyed it. Great spot for large groups too as there were a few large parties sitting in the "outside" space. Hostess initially asked if we wanted to sit "inside" or "outside," and I was confused as it all looked like outside to me haha. I guess this is SoCal, everything is open air. This is a nice spot to have convo, very spacious, lots of nice tables, we sat at a high top. I love perching higher up, kinda of like a bird haha! Waitresses here were all very good, some very cute too (eye candy is always appreciated). Overall, a really fun way to spend a Sunday summer afternoon! I'll be back!
