Enzo's BBQ Ale House — Restaurant in Encinitas

Stopped here for a late lunch since it’s newly opened and close to our The parking is around small shops near the McDonald’s so you might have to search around, but you will find a parking spot.

When we arrived, we were greeted and seated immediately in a booth. Our server was bright and cheery and made recommendations and the food was delicious.

Looking at the menu, you can see there’s an extensive amount of food with four pages of menu items as well as happy hour items. Also there’s an extensive beer, wine and cocktail list. The beer list is all on tap and is a huge selection like a brewery.

We ordered the baby back ribs combo and we’re able to substitute in different things without any issues. We split this meal and it was it was more than enough for both of us as we had a medium hunger level. The ribs were moist and fell off the bone as we were eating them. This is definitely a place that we would want to return to based. Prices are fair and the restaurant is big enough to see a lot of people. There are TVs so you can watch sports with the family. While we only saw one family in the place because we were there at an off time this is a very kid friendly place.

I would highly recommend going to this restaurant if you need to get your barbecue on and fill that empty stomach with great ribs....

The absolute worst sauce I’ve ever tried and the worst manager on duty Labor Day evening. We ordered the burnt ends platter that wasn’t edible all fatty and gross. We also ordered the brisket platter we had beans and salad w the brisket platter, and cornbread and salad w burnt ends we didn’t eat any of it and we were charged for salad since she said they were sides, they weren’t they came w dinner, also we didn’t eat the salads only a few bites because server didn’t know that salad is served before dinner so we had to ask for them , we took a few bites and our dinner came. The manager was so unprofessional and rude and charged for salads rather than take care of the bill, because the food was awful and we didn’t even eat our salads. Very condescending and smart alec, and told us at the end when we questioned her about charging for salads that we clearly did not eat no chance, and that came w meal why she was charging us , she spoke down to us claiming the salads were sides and we ate them I said really and showed her that we didn’t and she continued to talk down to us and said she’d be waiting for the call from us tomorrow and said she’d looked...

Supremely disappointed with Enzo’s BBQ Ale House. We went for happy hour and it was pretty empty.

My husband and I ordered the meatballs, pork fries, and a bbq chicken pizza. This was our first time so we wanted to try a range. I also ordered one of the drinks - it had cucumber and rum in it.

It took 40 minutes for our food to come out and when it did, it was barely warm. The meatballs and fries came out - the pizza never made an appearance. We sent them back because everything was barely warm.

There seemed to be no urgency to fix our issue, so we waited a bit more and then finally decided to go somewhere else.

15$ for my drink and a lemonade - we left defeated. As we were leaving they were seating a couple big parties and I can only imagine how long they would have to wait.

My drink was terrible. Likely made from a big batch, it was watery and the mint they put in it was mostly brown. As my only barometer for quality it’s safe to say we won’t be back.

It’s competitive out there and we were excited for the option for a new BBQ place, but if they want to survive they have to step...
