Cheesesteak with the works
Kim V.

The bf saw this on Ig and wanted to check them out. We tried them when they were at Fall Brewery in North Park on a Friday evening. The brewery was pretty busy and it was good to see many people had ordered from Wicked Rare Beefs. They had a short menu and everyone in my party decided to the cheesesteak for $19. Dude... dude! This was a generous sandwich. The bf and I split one and we were sufficiently full while our friends each had half a sandwich to take home for another meal. No wonder they were busy all night! Ordering is easy they give you a beeper to let you know when your food is ready. Good stuff all around. If you see them while you're out, give them a try. You won't be disappointed!

My husband saw a Facebook reel about this pop up and we had to find and try them out. I'm so glad we did! The food was amazing! The portion sizes were huge and I definitely had half of my sandwich for dinner later. While pricy rhe surf and turf was absolutely worth it. Large lobster claws topped perfectly cooked beef, and a fluffy bread bun to go with it. My husband's sandwich was saucy, tender, and so mouthwatering delicious it was scarfed down way too quickly! I hope to find these guys again because I definitely want to try other items off their menu!

I've been wanting to try this pop up since I first heard about it from IG. I happened to be in the area for their pop up at Fall brewery in Miramar. I got the super beef 3 way. It was really tasty with lots of sauce and served in a box so it was not squished. I'll be back to try the cheesesteak next!

2nd time visiting Brian, we r now following his pop ups. The best sandwhich for the $ in San Diego.

The King: Lobster Roll on freshly toasted, buttered roll
Lee P.

How do you improve upon perfection? By expanding the venues, expanding the selection and refreshing the menu. Well, that's what's happened with Wicked Rare Beefs. From the various postings on social media, WRB is now at other area brewery locations on alternate days and has expanded its presence at Fall Brewing to both Tuesdays and Fridays. Additionally, the menu offering now includes incredible lobster rolls, traditional east coast style. The French Dip sandwich offering has been retired and in addition to the fantastic "3-way Beef" roast beef sandwich and the superstar Philly Cheesesteak sandwich, a new cheesesteak variant has been added that includes home made marinara sauce. So it's a 4 sandwich lineup now and each provides a distinctive taste for the discerning palate. I have been awaiting the debut of the lobster roll ever since I heard rumors that it was in the works. Well, I have now experienced something unmatched in SoCal. This is a massive portion of the most tender, fresh tasting, delicate claw meat served on the right butter toasted roll. All freshly made to order. I don't know how Brian pulled this off. I've never had such perfect lobster that isn't fishy smelling or tough, having connective tissue or fillers in it. This has only the aroma of the surf. I can't describe it, but once you experience it, you'll know exactly what I mean. It's much like fresh local uni versus that nasty old stuff from Japan in the wooden boxes (which likely originated here, but degraded being shipped and processed in Japan and shipped back to the US). The roll is a simple thing, take the highest quality chilled lobster claw meat, add just a touch of mayo and put it in a warm, freshly toasted and buttered brioche bun. Simple, yet nobody here can pull it off except WRB. Now, perfection doesn't come cheap, but sometimes you just have to indulge in something so wonderful and give up on a couple Starbucks. A lobster roll and a pint of a Fall hazy IPA. How can something so simple get any better?

The best Philly cheesesteak sandwich in SoCal. Happen to spot these guys in front of the tipsy crow in gaslamp, decided to give it a try. So glad I tried this place! I got a Philly cheesesteak sandwich (the works), super 3 way beef and one lobster roll. Loved both Philly sandwich and the super 3 way beef sandwich. Couldn't decide which one I liked more... Will def come back and I highly recommend.

Setup underneath a canopy
Emmett T.

Wicked Rare Beefs is a pop-up vendor that has been appearing periodically at Fall Brewing Company, mainly on Fridays. Follow them on Facebook or Instagram to learn when and where their canopy will be set up. The signature item was a New England style roast beef sandwich. The other offering on the menu was a Cheesesteak sandwich with the works. Both products used slow roasted beef that was thinly cut with a deli slicer and stacked onto a respective bun. The Super 3-Way was the name of the of the roast beef sandwich. It paid homage to the North Shore classic with the three components of White American Cheese, mayonnaise, and James River BBQ Sauce. A butter griddled onion bun sourced from Bread & Cie was the vehicle for the meat and toppings. The sauce was sweet and tangy while the cheese and mayo provided more richness. The price and quality were similar to the roast beef sandwich from a brick and mortar shop closer to my residence. I also gave that spot a four star rating like what I awarded to Wicked Rare Beefs.

Wicked Rare Beefs is an absolute gem of a pop-up! We caught them at Fall Brewing Company, where they were set up with just a tent and a flat top grill. You order at the tent and they had you a buzzer to pick up your food when ready. We enjoyed sipping on some Fall Brewing drinks enjoying the sunny San Diego day on the patio. Don't let the simplicity fool you. This place delivers some of the best sandwiches we've had in San Diego. My husband and I aren't usually roast beef fans, but their sandwich completely converted us. The beef is freshly cut on site, sliced thin, and still incredibly moist and rare--just perfect. Best roast beef I've ever had, hands down. The chipotle mayo had a real kick, maybe a little too spicy for some, but it definitely added depth to the flavor. We also tried the Philly cheesesteak and ended up taking half home because it was generously sized. Super fresh tasting, and the bread was clearly baked that day--soft, flavorful, and held everything together without getting soggy. This place is low-key, but the quality is next level. Definitely track them down if you get the chance--you won't regret it.

Is this the best roast beef sandwich I've ever had? Yes. Yes it is. Find them. Support them. Enjoy .

Had these guys at fall brewing twice now. Super solid food. Good sized portions. The workers/owner are chill. Hopefully they keep coming here cause I will make sure I'm in the area if they are

Super 3 Way Beef
Casey N.

We were looking for a burger place on yelp, and Wicked Rare Beef came up as an option. It's currently located on the patio of Fall Brewing (formerly Saint Archer if you've been around long enough). We decided to stop by on a Friday night around 6pm. The brewery was fairly busy but there was no wait to order food. Boyfriend and I decided to split the Super 3 Way Beef to start and hang out at the brewery for a drink. Our sandwich was ready by the time we decided and ordered our beers. The sandwich was smaller than expected.. definitely not really an item to be split into 2. However, the meat was super tender and the bun paired well with the meat and sauces. Could have done with a little more sauce. We gave it 4/5. Still hungry, we decided to order another item to split and tried Philly cheesesteak sandwich. The grill was backed up at bit and was estimated to take 15-20 minutes. We were fine with that since we were hanging out. Food was ready as promised, super fresh and hot. Both of us felt the sandwich was tasty-hot melted cheese with plenty of meat, with bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms topped off. However it not compare to the first item, so we have it a 3/5. We rank Big Jim's in PB higher than Wicked for their roast beef sandwich. But for something much more local and accessible in Mira Mesa, we'd come back for the Super 3 Way Beef again.

At the sandwich too fast so this is all I got
Matt H.

I first saw the massive sandwichs on fall brewings' Instagram and wanted to see if it was just hype.... hands down one of the best cheesesteak sandwiches you can get in San Diego! Gooey cheese, fresh veggies and tender delicious meat and the bread was toasted beaufully, it had a nice crunch while remaining soft on the inside. If you think $18 is too much for this cheesesteak you are mistaken, this sando fed my gf and I. He gave us some Chipotle sauce that also complimented the cheesesteak. Wish I could gate keep this place but I couldnt lol
