7 of the Best Places to Eat in San Diego on a Budget
"When you come to this brewery, you’re not just getting a tasting room — you’re also getting an incredible beer garden that you’ll want to stay in all afternoon. Established in 1989, this beer brewing company exemplifies the Southern California lifestyle with its refreshing brews and laid-back atmosphere. It’s also credited as being one of the first breweries to kick off the craft beer scene in San Diego."
"The downtown, Sorrento Mesa, Carlsbad, and 4S Ranch locations of Karl Strauss brewpubs are open and offerer their full menus along with barre, wine,and hard seltzer for pickup (order online) or delivery through Door Dash,GrubHub,and Uber Eats."
"Opening in 2012, Societe Brewing Company quickly made a name for itself by winning West Coaster’s Best Brewery award in 2014 and 2016. Its picture-perfect IPAs like The Pupil, one of BeerAdvocate’s top beers, and The Coachman, a 2015 gold medal-winning session IPA at the Great American Beer Festival, that stoke the engine of this San Diego brewery. Most recently, we were stoked on Societe’s new collab with Pizza Port Brewing Co."
"Founded in 2012, Societe Brewing Company specializes in Belgian style taps and wine barrel aged beers. Head over for a free tour of the brewery and sample the large tasting options. Follow your favorite cold brews with fresh, tempting selections from the daily food trucks parked nearby."
"If you can get past the strange name, you’ll find some tasty craft beers (and a lot of beaver puns) here. This quirky brewery is all about “dam good times,” as it says, so all of the company’s beers, from its light blonde ales to barrel-aged stouts, have an extra dose of personality. The company features lots of interesting flavor combinations, like a Mexican Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout, a caramel-flavored Tastes Like Space brew, and a malty lager that apparently has a “mild biscuit” flavor."
"302 E Broadway, Vista 92084 Although there are various brewing locations throughout the city of San Diego, Belching Beaver decided to put its Tavern Grill in the heart of North County’s brewing hub in Vista. The tavern is a rustic indoor/outdoor patio with fire pits and two spacious hangout areas, both of which your furry friend is welcome to join you in. The tavern offers lunch Wednesday through Sunday, and dinner Monday through Friday, with a weekday Happy Hour."

"Honor that awesome report card or celebrate a birthday with a glamping dinner in one of the safari tents at One Door North in North Park. From oysters and braised short rib tacos to a kids menu and ready-to-make s'mores, you'll find everyone leaves a happy camper. Make a reservation early, as the two safari tents go fast!"
"I guarantee there’s not a better rooftop bar in town offering views like the Altitude Sky Lounge at the Marriott San Diego Gaslamp Quarter. It’s one of the city’s best and busiest rooftop bars. At 22 stories high, it not only offers panoramic vistas of the downtown, but it’s also a perfect spot to watch the Padres play at our beloved San Diego Stadium Petco Park."
"If you are a baseball fanatic who missed on grabbing the last ticket to the Petco Park stadium, worry not. Altitude Sky Lounge will grant your wish to watch the game live from their rooftop bar. Opening daily at 5 pm, the bar opens at 1:40 pm on Sundays and 12:40 pm on Thursdays especially, for the Padre home games."
"22 stories up, and located in the slamming Gaslamp Quarter, the Altitude is attached to the Marriott, but you need not be a guest to enjoy its splendor. It gets packed during Padres games, so we recommend going during the week when it’s business locals and a shot of the skyline worthy of a selfie."
"I use to like this buffet but it has gone downhill recently. There is another choice in Pacific Beach that is way better."
"If you love Chinese food, you have to visit Panda Country Restaurant, which serves a variety of food items on their menu for lunch and dinner. Most people start with their appetisers and soups. They also serve specialties, like their deep-fried shrimp or chicken, sizzlers, soft noodles with chicken and kung pao san yan with shrimp or chicken."
"Chang's serves a variety of Asian-inspired dishes and Chinese food favorites, including hand-rolled sushi, traditional Chinese dim sum, Ramen, family-style noodles and fried rice. Originally known for its P.F..."
