Trust Restaurant Group’s THE WISE OX Set To Open In Carlsbad In Fall 2021

Trust Restaurant Group (TRG) will continue its expansion into San Diego’s North County with a scheduled opening of their second The Wise Ox Butcher & Eatery in Carlsbad.

Bring home what the TRG cooks use

With 1,314 square feet, The Wise Ox La Costa will feature a similar footprint to the North Park original, with an oversized butcher case filled with classic (and hard-to-find) chef-approved meats, fridges stocked with prepared items, stocks, sauces and marinated meats, local beer, and a robust wine selection.

The butcher case will feature the same restaurant-quality cuts as North Park – giving TRG’s North County friends the chance to bring home what the cooks use in the TRG kitchens to enjoy at home.

Decor-wise, the space will be light and bright, embodying the classic butcher shop aesthetic TRG developed at the North Park shop. The big difference will be an expanded patio and no smoker.

The food menu will feature the same sandwiches from the North Park shop including breakfast sandwiches, Philly Cheesesteak, Double Cheeseburger, Dry Aged Burger, and more.

Why Carlsbad?

Chef Brad Wise used to live up the hill from The Beacon and wanted to introduce the brand to this neighborhood. This community regularly drives south to dine at Trust, Fort Oak, Rare Society and Cardellino, so now they’ll have an opportunity to experience TRG quality and the TRG brand closer to home.

TRG is also preparing to open its second Rare Society in Solana Beach in late summer.

The Wise Ox can be found at The Beacon shopping center on the southeast corner of El Camino Real and La Costa Avenue. For more information, visit here or connect on Instagram.

See you there….and stay healthy, San Diego!
