Reviews for Karl Strauss Brewing Company in Carlsbad, CA
Service was great. Meals were fantastic and the food even more so. Indoor and outdoor seating allows you to enjoy the best... this place has to offer. Started with a great “Wreck Alley” Stout beer and it all comes together even if it is 80 degreesat 7pm. Read more
I loved the environment here. Good music great employees and some very good beer. Plus the food was awesome. I sat at the bar... and the bartender was attentive. Helped me find my perfect beer by giving suggestions and letting me try some samples. This wasa perfect place for me to come sit back eat and enjoy some good beer after work. Stays very busy for good reason! Read more
Amazing food every time we come here! I get the Mac and Cheese on tap every time and it’s always amazing. Just a heads up -... you order at the front then seat yourself; and you can order from your phone via a QR code once you pick a table. Always workswell and is smoothly convenient for us, but just wanted to make everyone aware! Read more
Pleasantly surprised by the food quality! Primarily a brewery, their small menu really rocks! I had the fish and chips, which... at first glance looked like frozen patties from a local grocery, but were fresh and flavorful from the first but. Would getthem again. Then there is thier slaw, which I could eat by the bucket! Its chunky and sweet, and perfectly paired with thefish. I also ordered the beer pretzels and the sweet horseradish sauce that came with it was a-number-one! Others at the tabletried the grass-fed Burger and the ribeye. Both looked incredibly delicious and by the time we left, their plates were clean andthey were highly satisfied. I also sampled a number of their beers in flights. I can't say I had a bad one in the bunch. Ihighly recommend "Frank the Dank" and "Aurora Hoppyallis" as two of the more tasty beers. I'm only taking away a star because ofthe 30 minutes we had to wait for a table. Once inside, it appeared to us that at least two-thirds of the tables in therestaurant unoccupied. It seemed to us as though there was no reason to put us on hold for 30 minutes other than to sell us beerand make us wait. That said, I would go there again for the food and the beer , knowing I am probably going to have to wait forno reason to eventually get it. Read more
Excellent beer and excellent food! Super close to the flower fields so we stopped for lunch. The food was great, I had the... buffalo chicken sandwich, wife had the fish tacos, and kiddos shared a cheeseburger. The beer was great! The fire table outsidewas nice to help survive the moon-like temperatures of San Diego where it is molten hot in the sun and freezing in the shade. Read more
Karl Strauss is an amazing brewery with fantastic food and beers! The atmosphere here is pretty nice and laid back. They have... indoor and outdoor seating. It's just an overall amazing place to just go hang out with some friends. Read more
I would highly recommend this for dinner and drinks or just dinner. Pretty basic menu with a good selection of liquor and beer.... The service is quick because you have the option of ordering from a table or at the counter. Big parking lot so it’s veryconvenient to get in and out of. There is a lot of outdoor seating with heaters which is a nice amenity. Read more
A good place to get a drink and sit for a while. They lost two stars because the mahi mahi tacos were under seasoned and one of... the fish pieces in the fish and chips were undercooked. The food truck burger was great though and the wreck alley imperialstout was excellent. Read more
