Crackheads

Awesome spot to soak up some sun, have a cocktail, and recharge. We got seated quickly, and had excellent service. Got the loaded tots - I’d recommend sharing them if you aren't super hungry, as they're pretty heavy and come in a fairly large portion. The food was good, but the location/atmosphere was better.

There waas no wait When we got there at 10:30. The hostess and staff were very professional very sweet and welcoming. Great place to go if you need some "hair of the dog" drinks after a night out. There's picnic tables on the lower level area and a seating area upstairs. Not a very large space but the tables can accommodate 8-9 people depending on your size. The menu is scanned for viewing on your phone. It has 3 or 4 breakfast sandwiches to choose from. I'm not sure if that's just the breakfast menu, or if it's the whole menu???? There are also burgers on the menu, but they don't serve it at "breakfast time"which isn't until after 11 A.M. However there's nothing that says that warning on the actual menu. There was a chicken salad, tater tots and loaded tots that looked amazing as the waitress walked by with it. There's also a big alcohol selection to choose from. They are kid and pet friendly! The crackhead breakfast sandwich has bacon, sunny side up egg, cheese and the crackhead sauce on a tosted brioche bun. It all melds into a delicious sandwich. Would recommend for a quick bite or to stay and drink.

If you are looking for a quick bite to eat look no further than Crackheads. This quaint niche restaurant and bar provides the perfect intimate atmosphere for catching up with a friend, hanging out with a friend or a casual date. It is exclusively outdoor seating that is bathed in the Carlsbad sun, but they do offer covering for those looking for a cooler spot as well. Food: Their main dishes include variations of breakfast sandwiches which include, meat eggs and cheese in a variety of combinations, but they also serve other types of American sandwiches and have avocado toast on their menu as well. The bar is a full bar serving all the traditional cocktails, local beers and wines, but they also have several of their own cocktails as well. *Side Note Most of their traditional breakfast sandwiches are greasy and tend to soak through the box, bag and napkin. Staff: We "accidentally" walked past the hostess and headed straight to the counter so I did not get to experience the initial greeting, but once we ordered and sat down she came over to make sure we were taking care of. The cashier was friendly and definitely helped us with our first time navigating the menu to find what would be the best dish. Even when they ran out of ingredients for my coffee order, she tried as best as she could to make it up to me. The bartender was friendly in a similar fashion and was able to get most people's drink orders out relatively quickly. *************************************************************************** Environment: The restaurant was very modern and chic it have a main dining area that was off to the side and the wall was lined with two person seating bar tables. On the other side were picnic bench style seating that could fit a family of six. Then you had the bar with wrap around seating that could fit about 30 people and the upstairs dining area as well which provided more four person seating tables that could be combined. Overall: This is a great breakfast spot to grab a quick bite at before walking down to the beach or a great place to grab drinks at after a day in the sand. *************************************************************************** COVID-19 UPDATE: IN compliance with COVID-19 regulations all the staff were wearing masks and encouraged all customers to follow suit until they are seated. All tables were wiped down after each eating session and tables were spaced apart for social distance along with being equipped with plastic barriers.
