    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!

    GIVE MICHAEL A RAISE! Super cool dude and chill place. It's my first time here and parking is super easy and there are a wide range of beers. There are a lot of seats and TVs for the game. Service was super quick and everyone is so kind! I am grateful

    Pastrami
    Brandon M.

    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.

    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.

    Chicken club

    My favorite place in Orange County for a sandwich and a beer. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Gives a family atmosphere as the guest. Absolutely love their beers and love their sandwiches. Must order extra signature sauce which is a sweet and sour sauce

    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!

    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.

    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!!

    Veggie sando
    Teagan T.

    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!

    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.

    Turkado
    Curtis L.

    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

    Chicken club sandwich and a sprite :)
    America L.

    Hello yelping peeps !! I've been here a couple of times already, got something different today, the chicken club ( hot/warm ) sandwich . Service was friendly and we opted to sit outside. Great experience and great food !! Get your sandwich on !!

    Beef Dip
    Daph H.

    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.

    Great place to hang out, grab a bite and a drink! Lots of parking, just need to get your ticket…read morevalidated. Came on a Friday night and there was live music! However it was extremely crowded and needed seats to open up (All tables are first come first serve, but you can call in and make a reservation for 20+ people). The beers and drinks are really good! They also have a full bar so you can order cocktails and shots as well. I will take off a star because the food is decent, ordered the smash burger and carne asada fries. Burger was good but nothing to write home about, came with fries. I do like that they have a wide menu for food, the carne asada fries didn't hit, I do recommend the burgers, but I would definitely come back to try another dish. Overall great place to hang out and grab a drink!

It actually may not be that new, but new to me! What's funny is that I used to work in the building that it's behind. It was Washington Mutual. I did notice they removed the beautiful sculpture that used to be in the area, but it's still lovely. They do have happy hour and what I was impressed with was, they have cocktails too! Meaning not just beer, hard alcohol and wine too. Parking is easy, but it's paid parking. I went for a work event so parking was validated for us, so not sure how much it is. But just know, you will be paying for parking.

From the moment you walk in, it's giving cozy campsite vibes but elevated -- like if camping had good lighting, great cocktails, and zero bugs. We had such a fun night here. The ambiance alone makes it feel like a whole experience, not just drinks. We tried a few of their specialty cocktails, all super well done, but the real highlight was our server John. He was amazing -- attentive, fun, and clearly knows his drinks. At one point he made us an off-menu cocktail that was STRONG (in the best way) and honestly one of my favorites of the night. And the attention to detail?? He even let me borrow his hat for photos so I could fully commit to the camping aesthetic 10/10 for the vibes. Overall: such a cute, unique spot for a night out. Perfect for something a little different, a little playful, and definitely memorable. Would absolutely come back -- as long as it's this kind of camping.
