Restaurants in Carlsbad and LegoLand
In-n-Out
Address 5950 Avenida Encinas, Carlsbad, CA 92008 Map, Tel (800) 786-1000 Call, Website
I don't often recommend chain restaurants on DeliciousBaby, preferring to focus on locally owned spots. Still, we stop at In-n-Out routinely for the delicious burgers and french fries. A small menu allows the chain to focus on making everything fresh (e.g. potatoes are cut throughout the day for the fries), and of course this is a place where kid will always find something to eat. more
