Yesterday heavy rain and very cold weather I stopped by Board & Brew (my first time) Sam is very nice and helpful! He answered to my questions by writing back forth since I am Deaf. He offered me some samples to see if I like them I appreciate his being Deaf friendly towards to me. Many waiters are uncomfortable talking with me as a Deaf person. The food was so GOOD! Be sure to give Sam a raise Ambiance is awesome! I will definitely come back and try your yummy food! Thank you Sam you are the best waiter! read more

Board & Brew - Irvine - Canned veggies soup NO! It is HOMEMADE VEGGIES SOUO FRESH YUMMY - Fast Food Near Me - Irvine, California

This is my husband and I's first time at this location. We were on our way for a visit at the hospital down the street so we decided to stop by. I would like to say that we both really like this location. The ambiance is nice, there's a lot of seating, indoor and outdoor. Good spot to hang out with friends and family. The food was very delicious, so kudos to the cooks and a big thanks to the guy at the bar, he handled everything very well. That being said, our experience was not the best. Upon entering the establishment, we browsed the menu for a couple minutes and came up to the counter when we were ready to order. We were not greeted or even looked at by the cashier so we weren't sure if she was busy or waiting to take our order. She finally made eye contact so we started ordering. She asked us something but the music was a little loud and there were customers chatting at the bar so it was a hard to hear. We apologized for not hearing and she repeated herself in a very annoyed tone and rolled her eyes. She already seemed annoyed as we entered the establishment so the entire process of ordering was very uncomfortable and her attitude after we missed what said, was very rude. She was giving us dirty looks our entire stay. When we got our food dropped off by the same cashier (I believe her name was Kadence as stated on the receipt) everything looked fine except they forgot to give us our sauce on the side. Not a huge deal, my husband went up to ask for it and the guy at the bar was very nice, even gave us extra sauce. We got to eating and when my husband took a bite of his sandwich, he bit into bacon and we do not eat pork! He was very upset and doesn't like to make a fuss (normally would eat the sandwich even if it was the wrong order) but again, we do not eat pork and not eating pork is a big deal to us so he just wanted the sandwich he ordered. I went to the register to ask if we can have the correct sandwich made and let them know they can take the other sandwich back and once again the guy from the bar came to help, our original cashier did not want to make eye contact, didn't bother coming up to the register or apologized for anything. We felt bad because they threw away the whole sandwich, which I know is the typical process for the food industry but still sad seeing the food go to waste. While we were waiting for the correct sandwich, Kadence was still giving us dirty looks so we decided to go eat outside and from outside we could still see her in the window continuing to give us dirty looks! Laughable at this point. My husband and I are both very friendly and understanding people, we always love to give the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she was having a bad day and it was an honest mistake, but her demeanor just made things very uncomfortable. Overall, we would not come back to this location as there are two other locations closer to where we live and their staff is always very friendly and helpful. read more

This place is the best. The sandwiches are big enough to share or have on your own. The ambience is great too. You can eat outside or eat inside. There are tables available to watch sports or chat or you can also sit at the bar and enjoy the brews while watching your fav sports game. Outside the vibe is very family oriented. Pets are allowed too. Their sandwiches are amazing and flavorful. Plenty of choices to select from including Vegan. Overall I recommend them this spot. read more

I came here today for a quick beer, and I was pleasantly surprised. They had a pretty solid beer line up and great prices. I appreciate they they had a pretty good size bar, too. The color blue makes the ambiance a very relaxing vibe. I would love to come back and try some of their food! read more

Amazing and friendly service. Good prices (~12 ish dollar sandwiches, hot or cold). I got the Pastrami this time and it was one of the best I've had, even compared to renowned hole-in-the-wall places in LA. I've had the chicken club before too which was also . Nice variety of local beers as well. Random fact: you can leave your car overnight 1 night if needed, though I got a ticket saying I now have a 1-time "permanent warning" for next time... but they don't tow or fine for the first one. Staff confirmed you get 3 warnings. read more

They were quite busy on a Sunday afternoon for lunch, but thankfully I ordered online for pick-up. The order was waiting for me on the online mobile order pick-up shelves. Since you pay on the website, you can just easily pick up your order! With a quick glance into the restaurant, there was plenty of seating, however the thing that was holding up the line was that there was only one register open. I got the California Delight. Typically, I am not too fond of cream cheese on various foods, but surprisingly, all the ingredients provided a great balance of flavors and textures. The sandwich is a great portion size, while not feeling too heavy. I really like the addition of the sunflower seeds and sprouts which add a more unique crunchy texture to every bite. read more

Pete L., the business owner, commented on my review from my previous awful experience here stating that he would buy us a complimentary meal to make up for the bad service we experienced. I messaged him early October and he said he would mail me a gift card since I prefer to place my orders in advance online. He never mailed the gift card. I messaged him to follow up on it twice, and he completely ignored me. I suspect he publicly stated he would provide us with a complimentary meal just to appear to others that they take care of their customers, but in reality, they don't. Very disappointing given how much money I've spent supporting Board & Brew for the last decade. read more

This board & brew location has tasty sandwiches, quick service and a laidback vibe. Ambiance & Aesthetic: 7.5/10 the ambiance is chill laid back with a hangout bar, and some TVs to catch games or a race. The aesthetic is more New age beach vibe. Service: 8/10 The individual at the counter was friendly and welcoming, she took my order quick ensured everything was correct, and the food came out quick too. The chicken caesar wrap: 7/10 The wrap was robust with fillings, but the chicken was a bit dry, and the whole wrap was bit light on the dressing with having pockets of it throughout vs being tossed. The cucumbers & onions were fresh and a great crunch, but the tomato's had a little acidity or tartness to them almost unripened. They have an awesome selections of beers on tap as well, overall this place has great sandwiches and a cool local hangout spot! read more

Placed a pickup order for myself & husband. 2 identical sandwiches, but one has a noted avocado allergy for my husband. When he got home from picking them up, we noticed they were not labeled as to which one was for his allergy, but we figured they would look the same anyway. I bite into mine and it's fine. He bites into his and it HAS AVOCADO IN IT. I must not have been clear enough in my note. 2 stars because my sandwich was fine, but this was a MAJOR mess up. We are so lucky he'd only taken a tiny bite before he realized. read more

Love that there's a Board and Brew closer to my home. I used to go to the one in Tustin but location is much more convenient. I believe B & B originated from San Diego (near Del Mar/Encinitas) which is where I grew up so love the Socal, surfer chill vibes. My go to is their turkey sandwich and is it tasty without being overly salty. If I'm in the mood for something more cold, I go for their pastrami, which is smoky, juicy and packed with tons of meat. My other favorite is the beef dip sandwich. The beef is tender, the au jus is rich, and dipping that bread in there hits the spot. The vibes are chill, the staff are friendly, and the place has that classic sandwich shop energy (but elevated). If you're craving a sandwich that doesn't mess around, this is the spot. Don't forget to pick up a 6 pack of their beer! read more

This Board & Brew location in Irvine's Oak Creek Shopping Center is the best possible version of any Board & Brew imaginable. The store is immaculately clean with amazing decor, the staff is super professional and hardworking and also caring, the food is really good and tastes the way it was meant to taste, and there's plenty of parking in the shopping center. Totally recommend this location if you're looking for some affordable and good-quality sandwiches!! read more

There was a clip of a guy talking about seeing 'Ham Plate' on a menu somewhere and ordering it. Getting exactly what's described- a pile of ham, cheese and bread on the side. I found that speech to be not only relatable but incredibly inspiring. He goes, somehow my brain have been conditioned to think what's on the menu is something entirely fancy. Frivolous, maybe even a tad menacing. The sandwiches here are as substantial as the music, locals and fresh brews. The unfortunate thing is there's only one vegetarian sando but it is RICH with crisp and fresh. Delicious squaw and friendly staff. At Board and Brew you will find your people! read more

Love this spot! Sam is always so welcoming and friendly to ALL the guests! I used to go to the other board and brew here in Irvine and since they opened this new location I have only come here!! BEST BOARD AND BREW IN IRVINE! read more

A staple in our rotation - You really can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches here. The cold or hot sandwiches are ALL delicious. We haven't dined at the location, but have always ordered online and picked up our order. Still fresh and tasty once we bring it home to eat. 100% would recommend! PRO TIP: Don't forget the special sauce! It takes the sandwiches to another level! read more

Came by today to pick up a beef dip and a pastrami. The beef dip was a little bit dried. The pastrami was good but not as good as the one I had at their cypress location. The prices here are pretty reasonable with the amount of meat inside. They do offer indoor and outdoor seatings. Easy to find parking. read more

Went one night and ordered the turkado. Was decently good, moist, and full of flavor. I decided to come back the next day and ordered the turkey club and a Baja beef. The Baja beef was okay but the turkey club was horrendous. It was really dry, and the bread felt like too much and that it didn't match the sandwich contents. Also, the "secret sauce" is a hit or miss with certain sandwiches, and at times feels unnecessary and just sweet. It does not pair well sometimes read more

Always a great experience! My favorite is the beef dip with horseradish! Left Coast Pastrami is my husband's top pick.

Glad to finally try Board and Brew now that they opened in Irvine! I usually like to wait a few weeks after opening to try a restaurant but was lured in by the $3 draft beer opening special. We came on a cold Friday night and were surprised to see the place buzzing. I ordered the beef dip ($11.95) since it was chilly and was happy with my choice. It came with swiss and a side of au jus. I also asked for a side of their horseradish sauce which really packs a punch. They have a great selection of craft beers. I'll probably come back sooner rather than later to take advantage of that $3 beer (through Feb. 28th) and maybe try their pastrami or the Turkado. Food is probably more like four stars, but I bumped my rating up to five because where else are you going to get a beef dip at this price? Plus service was very helpful and friendly! Indoor and outdoor seating available. Plenty of parking in the lot. read more

I crave board and brew at least weekly. The last 4 times I've come, my order is ready by the pickup time I select when placing the order online beforehand. The staff also NEVER misses extra sauces we request and the sandwiches and salads are incredibly fresh every time. I swear, a veggie sandwich with the chicken Caesar salad is simply the best meal ever. read more

Went here after a softball game nearby in Lake Forest on the way home. He ordered turkey club and I got the pastrami no mustard, my usual if not the veggie delight. This board & brew is solid like the others. Easy parking in the strip mall. Fast and friendly service. read more

Fun and easy local Sandwich shop. Surprising amount of day drinking. Soda selection is from 1992-which is odd considering the kind of Cali foreword vibe. Has a weird sweet & spicey red sauce in a side container I am never really sure what to do with. read more

Michael is the best host along with Sam and the team. Friendly environment with the neighborhood !!

Board & Brew was JUST as good as I remember it from years ago. I showed my boyfriend this place, telling him it was a BOMB sandwich place I had a long time ago. That still holds true today. We split a Turkado sandwich and it was AMAZING with their complimentary sweet orange sauce!!! The sandwich was packed with ingredients and they were definitely generous with the portion size. Would definitely come back!!! read more

How can i say this? Sam is fantastic. The beer menu is fantastic and so is the service. Sam's attention to detail is even better, he saw my wife looking for a place to sit and he raced around the bar rail to find her a seating arrangement, and provided prompt and proper service. Consider us new regulars! read more

We went to check out the grand opening of Board and Brew's Irvine location on Sunday and it was so worth it! They were offering BOGO deals on food orders, and pints of craft beer were being offered at the low low price of $3!! FYI - this incredible craft beer offer is valid until end of February 2025. Service was friendly and efficient. I'm not a big sandwich guy but I ordered the Roast Beef Spicy and it was phenomenal and included a side of Au Jus. They also have a great selection of craft beer, and I thoroughly enjoyed the funky ale collab from Pure Project and Green Cheek breweries. I am going to pay Board and Brew another visit tonight to take advantage of that beer deal before it's gone! read more

My French Dip was delicious! My only wish was that they carried low fat chips in addition to the regular, fully delicious ones! I have to budget somewhere lol! The service was really nice and the vibe was packed and bustling. My hubby was slightly disappointed that his bread wasn't fresh (maybe needed to be warmed a bit?). We will be back again:) read more

We were sent to pick up our meals. Apparently this is a franchise and is kinda new in the Irvine area. We had three sandwiches and a salad. The parking lot was filled on a weekday lunch hour so I was dropped off to get the meals. The place was pretty crowded with both instances and outside seating. Took the meals home. We all thought the portions were decent and the food was delicious. Order was correct and they had put in the condiments, napkins and utensils. read more

Bangers on bangers. Board & Brew has really expanded all throughout SoCal. This location is next to a group of businesses, and has plenty of seating both outdoor and in. Looks to be a regular spot for workers to grab lunch, or the midday hangout. I grabbed lunch with a friend, and we were in and out with our orders in minutes. I always forget how delectable Board & Brew is, until I have it again. The chicken club was filling, meaty, and crisp. I enjoyed my experience here, and would highly recommend! read more

Enjoyed their food and drinks. Quite consistent with the other location. Highly recommend Left Coast Pastrami with their horseradish . Seating at the bar is available and there is a about 10 tables to accommodate small parties but we got to get a nice seating for 6, as another customer was kind to move so we can sit together. There are tables out front too. Very fun, friendly place. Soda and water is self served. Parking was not bad on this Monday evening. read more

This is one my sandwich places!!! I'm so glad this new location opened up, and is much closer to my home. I've been to other Board and Brew locations, and this one was very open and bright inside. The location was very spacious and clean inside. My go-to is the Turkey Club, but sub cheddar cheese for the Swiss. The French bread is soft and the meat to cheese to veggies. They do serve it with their famous side sauce, which I am personally not a fan of, but think it's just my personal taste as I know most people love it. This is always my fave and it paired with the Dirty Brand chips. So yummy. The service inside was great. All of the workers were working very hard and even though they recently opened, it was a well ran operation. Glad to have this location. They have many options of beers too and plenty of seating and options in the area. Love Board and Brew and so glad this location is now open!!! read more

I've been coming to board n brew for years and Ive always had excellent service/food. This past experience was one of the worst I've ever experienced. I won't comment about the service but the food was just unacceptable. We ordered a Baja beef which had a hair in the sandwich and a turkado that we found a piece of paper(maybe a torn off napking bit) in the bread. after bringing it back up they gave no apology and just gave us a half sandwich not even a full one in return. Normally I would be fine with this but the half sandwich they gave in response barely even qualified as a sandwich. It was 1/3rd of the size of the one with the hair in it and was completely missing some of the normal toppings. This type of quality and service was so unlike the normal experience but as a customer I don't think I'll come back again. read more
