CHICKEN CLUB
Stephanie B.

My first time visiting a board & brew and I was a bit disappointed. I got the chicken club and while the french baguette was soft and fresh, I felt the chicken was super thin and the sandwich was half shredded lettuce. I felt the sandwich was just average. My husband got a tuna sandwich and said it was just ok as well. The location is in a shopping center and had plenty of parking. They did have a bar and a nice outdoor seating area. We received our sandwiches pretty quickly as well.

Probably one of my favorite chain sandwich shops in Escondido. While on the pricier side, their options for sandwiches are great and everything tastes super fresh. Staff is friendly, restaurant is clean, and this particular location is in a decent shopping center with plenty of parking. Whatever their sauce is they add in each bag with the sandwiches, you will want extra. It is SO GOOD, and so addicting! I typically order their Turkado, which is a Turkey sandwich, lettuce, avocado, and mayo. Very basic but so good! Pair it with the sauce they stick in your bag and absolute heaven! I don't come here often but when I do I've always had a good experience.

Giant sandwich

One of my favorite sandwich places, glad to have one in Escondido! I usually get my sandwich on sweet wheat (squaw bread), even if the one I choose one that normally doesn't come on it. Also need it without tomatoes, of course. And depending on the combo, I sometimes leave off the secret sauce. This time I got the Tom's Choice, no tomato, no secret sauce, extra mayo, on sweet wheat to go. The sandwich was so huge that I only ate half, plus the turkey out of the other side, and kept the other half for the next day. I also like the California Delight. Staff is always friendly, and the bar gets really busy, especially around Happy Hour time. TVs above the bar, and extra seating on the patio. The parking lot can be a challenge because of the large number of restaurants, etc. Primos, Cali Fish Grill, Poki Poki, Mike's BBQ, Ding Tea, Chieu Kitchen, and El Pollo Loco, plus Aldi, Home Goods, FedEx, Staples, and BevMo. So Saturday afternoon is a hard to get parking.

Baja beef

HORRIBLE AND RUDE I asked for no cheese on my food and they brought it back with cheese so I asked respectfully if they could fix it , they came out in 2 minutes with an sandwich with just meat in it And you can STILL see the CHEESE!!! I asked for a Baja beef sandwich and for some reason it was Given to me like this . I was already getting funny looks walking into this store not sure if it was because of my friends skin color but this isn't right . Then all the women decided to help only all the old men and get their orders right seems like it

TURKADO
Desiree P.

Quick lunch without it having to be a burger, YES please. And from my experience no matter the location their sandwiches are consistently good. PS - make sure to get the sauce on the side so you can dip your sandwich in it because you need to enjoy it with every bite. My only draw back sourdough needs to be toasted. Would have appreciated if you would asked toasted or not.

I'm literally obsessed with Board & Brew. I'm drooling just typing this, LOL! Sometimes the craving strikes and there's no way to get rid of it until we go! I usually opt for the Turkey Avocado (Turcado?) but on SQUAW! And I always add sprouts and BANANA PEPPERS!!! I love a veggie-heavy sandwich. I couldn't resist trying a matcha hazy IPA... I didn't walk in midday expecting to have a beer, but why not! I'm grown! ;) Service is always great and such a chill vibe inside, too. :)

Beers on tap
David N.

A great quick-serve place with indoor & covered patio seating and a bar with a nice range of beers styles on 12 taps. Order at the counter and they deliver to your table, or order at the full service bar. I had the Roast Beef Spicy sandwich and it was a perfect with tasty, lean, and not salty thin sliced beef, melted cheese, and pickled jalapeños. Served on a delicious soft french roll with Au Jus, "secret" orance sauce, and optionally horseradish on the side. A good value for $12.50 given what this size and quality of sandwich would cost at most places. Also got a side of their delicious housemade potato salad.

Today, we ordered the classic lunch combo burger with fries-delicious and does not taste like freezer burn!!! There is a choice of not just beef, but also impossible, gluten free, and grass fed meats. All burgers are cooked to medium unless you specify otherwise. Easy to order-just go to the counter and order, pick a seat and wait for your meal. The interior dining area has plenty of seating and restrooms in the back. The outdoor patio looks nice enough for when it's a nice cool night, it is covered as well. Anyway, we'll be back since the menu looks super inviting because there are other choices besides burgers and the best thing is that they use a lot of local, fresh ingredients! Support your local eateries!

You order at the counter and they'll bring the food to your table. It's hard to find a burger place with all my favorites: an egg, bacon, and avocado. The bacon was crispy, the egg was medium and wasn't too runny, and the brioche bread was a little sweet and fluffy. They use angus beef for their patties. You can also split your fries which I love! I got to try the onion rings and sweet potato fries. I wish the sweet potato fries were crispy. They were more on the soggy side. The onion rings batter was a lil thicker than I like. The batter overpowered the onion. We also got the Cajun wings to try which was nice and crispy! They give you a few sauces on the side so you can dip it. I got the ranch which was so good with the wings, fries and burger. The milkshakes are pretty delicious! We got the classic vanilla one. It was a pretty thick shake so you know they use legit ice cream! I also liked the peach lemonade. I would check this place out if you're in the area!
