New England classics in the form of beef sandwiches, lobster rolls, and cheesesteaks at Wicked Rare Beef, a popup now frequently operating on the patio at Fall Brewing in North Park on Fridays. The menu was small and curated, making a selection easy... or so I thought. I honestly didn't much care for the Cheesesteak, finding the Chipotle Avocado Beef way more enticing alongside their well-known Super 3-Way Beef sandwich, but the dude somehow convinced us in our ultra hungry states that we didn't want the Chipotle Avocado Beef, that their "well-known" Cheesesteak was a must instead. Again, super hungry, so didn't argue, but was confuzzed as to why he was trying to talk us out of something I wanted in spite of its similarities to the 3-way beef sandwich (his other reason for steering us towards to the Cheesesteak huh?). Said Cheesesteak with the works (cheese, onions, pepper and mushrooms), while piping hot and gigantic, was bland and the bread a little crusty/ old. The 3-way beef, while the meat was not exactly warmed up enough on the grill, was actually super delicious. Not nearly as delicious as a famed beef sandwich from a shop in PB, but still good-ish. The onion bun was much preferred to the crusty cheesesteak bread too. All sandwiches are bound to get you sloppy and full with such a generous protein portion. You will not leave hungry. I was much fulfilled following my state of hunger, but with much left to be desired for the Cheesesteak that I didn't even want!

Cheesesteak with the works

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!

Lobster Roll

Went to this pop up at Fall Brewing and it did NOT DISAPPOINT!!! Great service and insanely delicious food. I'm a lobster roll fanatic and it sucks living on the west coast. Luckily this was the best lobster roll I've had in San Diego Will be following this pop up around like my dad did religiously for the Grateful Dead from 1965-1995.

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!

Amazing food! Super friendly staff and cool vibes. Super happy that we discovered this place during our stay here in CA. Bonus was being able to grab a beer from the Fall Tasting House.

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!

made it this far couldn't eat the rest

unfortunately two salty I ordered the Philly cheese, but extremely salty burned my mouth ,,salt bomb ,,what a disappointment

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.

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

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.

Pros: I got the half-pound burger with fries and it was really good overall. The burger was super juicy, well-cooked, and had that classic hearty, satisfying taste you want from a solid burger spot. The portion size was generous, especially with the half-pound patty, and the fries were a great side to round out the meal. The location in Pacific Beach is also a big plus. It's in a great area with lots going on, so it's easy to grab food and walk around afterward or make it part of a beach day. The overall vibe of the spot feels casual and fitting for PB--nothing overly fancy, just good comfort food done right. Cons: Since it's in a busy beach area, parking and crowds can be a bit of a challenge depending on the time you go. It's more of a casual grab-and-go or quick dine-in spot, so don't expect a sit-down restaurant experience with a lot of space or quiet seating. During peak beach hours, it can also get pretty busy. Verdict: Overall, Rocky's Burgers is a great spot in Pacific Beach if you're craving a juicy, satisfying burger in a fun beachside area. The half-pound burger and fries hit the spot, and it's a solid choice for a casual meal before or after hanging out in PB.

The Bonehead burger alone is $13...it felt like it was almost reminding me of a fast food burger...it was flavorful and overall pretty good, but for $13 I felt it was a rip off. It was mostly toppings of chopped up bacon, fried onions and veggies. Next were the tots, they were a HUGE portion (which I would've appreciated in the burger) and covered in what I can only imagine was that fake nacho cheese in a can. soggy and disappointing. The tots by themselves were delicious and crispy, but covered in the cheese they end up soggy and falling apart. I guess that's on me though to order cheddar cheese, I should've clarified what kind of cheese it would've been. Service was slow, only one person working the front helping people order, cleaning tables, grabbing condiments and bringing food to the tables. They definitely needed another person there to help out. I watched my burger sit under heat lamps for at least 5+ minutes. I had heard good reviews about this place, so I'm glad I tried it but overall just ehh.

Still, we decided to give it a chance. I had a pretty negative initial reaction when we first got there. Not only was the staff initially quite rude, but there were also multiple cockroaches in the deck area that gave us the heebie jeebies. I imagine it is a nice spot during the day when the sun is shining, as it looks out west towards the airport. The food at least somewhat made up for the sour initial experience. We got the Deck, the Baja Deck and the truffle fries. It had good flavor but was also extremely greasy. However for the price it's quite reasonable. Skip the milkshake though. It's prepackaged and mixed with water, not worth the $8
