- MMcKennaSan Diego •10 reviews5.0Dined todayWhat an incredible meal! Everything on the menu was delicious. We have been to Campfire a few times now and our favorite thing to do is to order a lot and split everything. The broccoli is a must try and I love asking the staff what they recommend. This time we split a ton of our favorite apps, the market fish and the pasta. Loved the pasta and fish together! I will definitely be returning to Campfire. Aside from the food; the staff is so friendly, knowledgeable & pleasant.More infoCampfirePrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Carlsbad•4.8

- DdeannaVIPNashville •69 reviews4.0Dined on Feb 18, 2025The food was good…not great. The meatloaf was our fav. The server was nice but she kept asking us “have you had a chance to look over the menu?” Every 5 minutes! We had just sat down! Oh well…it’s not like they were busy…only about 4 tables of diners. The ambiance much better outside.More info20|TWENTYPrice: Expensive• Californian• Carlsbad•3.9
