Today, I ordered the Steak Tip and Fries (6oz. Marinated Angus Steak Tip). The steak was cooked to perfection (medium rare). And the fries were cooked in beef tallow- chef's kiss! The quality of meat and seasoning was unparalleled 10/10! Super tender and juicy and packed with tons of flavor! My wife ordered the Smashed Burger and Fries (Sliced House Marinated Angus Steak Tips with Grilled Onions and Peppers). The beef patty had a really nice sear on the outside and caramelized crust 10/10! Prices are reasonable! And staff are super friendly and helpful! And the vibe is lively! I have yet to order any fresh cuts of meat from the butchers- that's definitely on my to-do list! First impressions- these guys are the real deal! It's pretty evident they bring the highest quality ingredients to their customers! I would recommend this spot to anyone looking to buy top grade, high quality meats and delicious food!

Wayde (I hope thats spelled correctly) was so sweet when we walked in and gave us the run down and made some great suggestions. If you plan on sitting down to eat, I highly recommend getting there early because seating is limited but also its a great spot to grab and go to the beach! We got the DBL (as first timers) with the beef fat fries. The flavor profile and portions are SOOO worth it. Be wise and come to The Wise Ox

our DRY-AGED BURGERS (havarti, bacon, mustard, mayo, and house-made pickles) weren't just dry-aged,…read morethey were drier than old boot leather. I get that smash burgers are all the rage these days, but if a burger patty spends as much time on the second side as it did on the first, it's not crustified; it's as tough and juiceless as jerky. an abundance of aging primals are on display at the WISE OX. when they're cut into steaks, the trimmings are ground for burgers. a not-particularly-wise cow died for our sins (so said the family's vegan son who begged off lunch). honor that and cook the meat properly. to not do so is beyond sacrilegious. if I told the meat cutter (aka the "butcher") I was going to use the dry-aged Rib Eyes or New Yorks he'd just carved up to make jerky, he'd be horrified. so, why isn't he raging at the guy on the grill doing that to our burgers? the BEEF FAT FRIES (aka Tallow Fried Fries) still have great flavor, but are still way, way, way too salty. check the photo, and count the visible salt crystals if your cardiologist's on speed dial.

We were bored this Saturday and decided that we should try the Cardiff Crack sandwich. Got there…read morearound 6pm and the parking lot was packed. We were still able to find parking quickly. There is only outdoor seating so dress for the weather. Coastal weather in May makes it cool as it approaches evening. I ordered the classic crack sandwich and my wife got their Philly sandwich. Both had lots of meat! Mine had some meat sitting in the container . We also got fries and their artichoke dill pasta salad. It was all tasty. Be prepared to wait in line but also check outside for their canopy serving sandwiches there also. Plenty of outdoor seating. People started clearing out as it got closer to 7pm. While it is out of the way for us we plan to return.

Seaside Market continues to be a great outpost for curated products with a lot of…read moreLocal options. The star, in my humble option is still the meat counter and the prepared foods section. From sandwiches, to deli meat and of course their butcher shop and marinated meats selection. This is the home of the famous "Cardiff Crack," aka burgundy pepper tri-tip. You may have had it before at a friend or family BBQ, on some local area restaurants in sandwich, or in the famous Tri-Tip Nachos at Petco Park while cheering on the Padres. I love checking out all of the items they have available, and always have to grab at least a pound of the crack. This last time I picked up the Spicy Chipotle BBQ tri-tip as well. So good. If you are just visiting, you can grab a sandwich made with the tri-tip.

Our table 4 enjoyed the 8-ounce filet mignon, $68, the 60-ounce bull's-eye ribeye, $74, and a tasty mac & cheese, $15. Excellent cuts of meat. Prepared to order. Creative array of cocktails. Lively bar area. Wines by the glass from $17-$43. Local draft beers. Expensive wine list. The cheapest white is $60 a bottle for an Albarino from California, $72 for a Santa Barbara Pinot Noir, and then up to sell several over $200 and $300. The Dominus, from Napa, is $620. We brought our own wines; corkage is $35. Service is among the best we've experienced in the county. This included the handling of our two older wines and great busing service throughout the dinner, with water refills and well-orchestrated clearing of the plates. Somewhat dark, noisy interior, outdoor patio for casual dining and happy hour fun, watching the colorful crowds passing by on this busy section of Solana Beach.

Went here to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday! I've had this spot "saved" for this occasion!…read more We had 7 in the other party, so yes, we definitely made reservations. We had this fun bar table so we were higher off the ground. It was cold, so sitting near the door was not fun when the door kept opening and closing with that draft coming in. That made our experience a little more annoying. Most of us had to keep our jacket on to stay warm. Wasn't really expecting to wear my jacket during dinner. Anyways, forget my coldness for a second. The food was delicious and here I go: Parker House Rolls (we ordered 2)....YUM! fresh out of the oven....soft and just yum! Bacon: it was alright....not a fan of the glaze, but others in my party liked it. Boards: Associate (1) and Executive (1) Meat: 8 oz snake river wagyu and 22 oz dry-aged ribeye Sides: Potato au gratin (2), asparagus (1), whipped potatoes (2), shell mac (2) and broccolini (1) It was a great experience, definitely on the pricey side, but my daughter enjoyed her 21st birthday dinner surprise with family!
