    Tuna Sandwich at Swami's Beach
    Lucy B.

    An easy option with quality, quick sandwiches. My partner ended up drinking the au jus sauce straight it was that good. Also, this location can't miss; sharing a photo of my tuna sandwich on the beach as evidence.

    Absolutely love this location! This is probably my new favorite Board&Brew location! Came around 2:30pm and the moral and energy was great. People at the bar having drinks and at the tables having a sandwiches and beer. The energy of the staff was matching the vibe of the people so kudos to them! I went woh my favorite sandwich from here which is Toms Choice, extra sauce on the side. Again, I was not disappointed! I also enjoyed a Board&Brew IPA hit the spot for sure! Place was packed again but still well kept in terms of cleanliness! See you soon Board&Brew of Encinitas!!

    This is how much meat was in my pastrami sandwich. Pathetic excuse of a sandwich shop.

    Not sure why I still eat Board and Brew. It's gone way downhill. Not only is it overpriced but theyre extremely stingy with napkins. They literally told us their napkins are too expensive to give out. Seriously? How is a $15 sandwich not generating you enough profit to afford napkins??? Today I tried a Left Coast Pastrami and it was awful. Like the napkins there was hardly any meat (see photo). Do yourself a favor and take your sandwich craving elsewhere.

    Love this place! The food is so fresh and tasty. The portions are quite big. Been going to other locations for years. The parking in this center can be tough, but there is plenty of seating inside and patio. Little bar with lots of craft beer options. Staff was friendly. Always a go to if I'm in the area.

    Yummy sandwich shop with fresh ingredients, craft beer and friendly customer service. Had 2 hours to kill while baby was getting new rims at Discount Tire, hung out here for a Honey lager and a turkey avocado sandwich on sourdough (TURKADO), yum!! Fresh soft bread, delicious turkey and avocado, shaved red onions, lettuce and tomatoes- but it needs mustard and pickles!! Various sandwiches from grilled to cold and numerous salads. Cool bar area, craft beers and TV, great place to hang!

And our server was fantastic. So why, you might ask, only 4 stars in my review. Two reasons: 1). Management has prohibited giving a splash of a beer for someone to sample. Bottom line is that I wanted to order a pint of beer, but I wanted a splash of a couple of beers to try to make my decision. They refused, saying that one must buy a 5oz taster if one wants to taste the beer. I find that policy offensive. In the end I bought a taster to taste the Chuuurch, and then bought an additional pint after. It just seems nickel and dimey, and would be asking to an ice cream place not allowing one to sample their ice creams before buying a cone. I hope management reconsiders this policy. 2. My wife got the Hot Mess Fries and was disappointed not only in the flavor, but also in the misleading advertising. On the menu it specifically said that there was bacon in the fries, but in fact what they put on the fries was either chunks of ham or "Canadian bacon" (which as we all know is a very different thing from "bacon"). If they were or of regular bacon, the kitchen should have told the server this so he could have asked her if she wanted ham as a substitute. And, of they always use ham instead of bacon, them the menu needs to be changed to reflect that.

We tried different marinades and various fish, but my hands-down favorites were the lobster tacos (lemon butter) and the red snapper (fish shop) tacos. We also ordered large sides. They do NOT skimp out on these. Massive onions rings and a large pile of fries. All were delicious! The kids liked their grilled cheese sandwiches. "Best grilled cheese besides the ones we make at home." Only downside on the food was the clam chowder. Good flavor but hardly any clams (if any). I wouldn't get that again, but everything else was phenomenal. I almost rated this down to a 4 because of this (and a small order mishap), but honestly, this place is worth a solid 5 based on the overall food, vibes, and staff. This place's vibes are super chill. You can either sit inside or out. Very clean all around! Well-maintained restrooms and tables too. Solid drink options - both alcoholic and non-alcoholic as well! Would definitely go back!

There's parallel street parking throughout the area, so you might get lucky and find a spot nearby. I ended up parking on one of the side streets, which worked out perfectly. I came here on a Sunday afternoon, and it was definitely busy. We had to wait a little while for a table because several tables still needed to be cleaned before they could seat new guests. The staff was incredibly friendly, though, and we were seated as soon as they could. It did take about 15 minutes before a server was able to come over and take our order, but the restaurant was completely packed, so it's something to keep in mind if you're in a hurry. After spending the day at the beach, we were really just in the mood for drinks. I ordered the Blood Orange Margarita, which can be served with Tajín, sea salt, or no rim at all. It was really good and definitely on the stronger side, which I appreciated. My only complaint was that there was a bit too much ice, but the flavor itself was great. The atmosphere is what really makes this place stand out. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, large open windows that let in plenty of fresh air, and a fun, lively vibe that makes it a great place to relax after a beach day. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the ambiance and cocktails, just be prepared for a little wait if you visit during peak hours.

They were clearly short staffed on Father's Day, so I allowed for that. However, when you're sitting there forever and 3 wait staff are going by you several times and can't even say "someone will be with you shortly ".....not a word. Funny thing is the patios were fairly empty. We would have left, but again we've loved the food here for 14 years so hung in there. Then big mistake was sitting across from the pizza oven! The hostess, who I have to say is an amazing employee, she was literally doing everything. Seating people, cleaning tables, answering the phone, cleaning the stuff off the pizza area, bringing clean pans, getting drinks, etc. BUT she was using those nasty old rags to clean the table, touching the cash register etc., never washed her hands and then she was grabbing handfuls of the fresh basil and ripping pieces and putting them on the pizza, then posting the pizza with her fingers to maybe check it wasn't burned on the bottom? I was literally dying watching this, I'm not even a germaphobe. Then I watched the other waiter who wears dirty baggy jeans wipe his hands in his pants and also manhandle the basil in the same way. So gross. I saw another party get mad because the pizza was not cut, they asked for it to be cut again....and then got angry because they still had to tear at it and everything fell off. When our pizza came....it was the same, but we dealt with it. We ALWAYS get the Butterscotch pudding, but at this point we just wanted out. Had to wait forever to ask for a box and check. I'll miss the old Blue Ribbon as I miss Craftsman sadly, but there are others with actual service, we gave them a chance the last time it was bad, but this is the 2nd and done!
