Rosemarie's Buns & Brews serves chef-driven sliders, elevated comfort food, and craft brews across three San Diego locations: Mission Beach, Ocean Beach, and Encinitas. Founded by Army veteran and Executive Chef Nick Balsamo, who brings 15+ years of culinary experience, what started as a series of San Diego pop-ups has grown into a local favorite in under three years. Rosemarie's was named Best Burger by San Diego Magazine, recognized on Yelp's Top 100 Restaurants in the U.S. for two consecutive years, and honored with a California State Senate Certificate of Recognition. A love story about food and people, we take pride in turning patrons into regulars and regulars into family.
