Rosemarie's runs on a slider format: small burgers built in varying flavor combinations, meant to be ordered several at a time so a table can work through multiple builds in one sitting. The Rosiemac and a rotating soft shell crab slider show up often, alongside sides like elote fries and blue cheese bacon fries.
The restaurant is led by Nick, an Army veteran and culinary school graduate who trained in kitchens across Asia before opening Rosemarie's in Mission Beach. The concept has since expanded to Ocean Beach and Encinitas locations.
Regulars point to the burgers and fries as the draw, and the mix-and-match slider format gets particular credit for standing out in a beach neighborhood full of casual burger spots — though service and the wait to get a table can be inconsistent.
