Tub-O-Tuna - tuna salad, jack cheese, avocado, lettuce, tomato, red onions on wheat bread
Takeshi H.

Slowly but surely Ladera Ranch continues to add an assortment of different eateries to cater to all tastebuds and that is no different with the popular franchise - Board & Brew. The ambience is something akin to a local surf shop as open air with music playing and business is bustling. It's the kind of place you can grab a bite for lunch in the outdoor area and also an adult beverage while enjoying the weather. The service is solid if not spectacular. As for the food well it's sandwiches galore and for this venture felt more of the semi-health variety and went for the tuna sandwich. This is an establishment that does not skimpy on the fillings nor do they take shortcuts on the quality. The sandwich contained fresh ingredients and was well put together. And as always when you add their special sauce to anything it always elevates whatever it is placed on top of.

We stopped in yesterday for the first time and we will definitely be back when we are in the area . The service was so good , the guys working yesterday are amazing . Both the sandwiches we tried were excellent. The bread they use tastes fresh baked . I got the California delight minus mayo and it's insanely good ( turkey sprouts cream cheese & sunflower seeds) My wife got the Turkado. There is a beer bar with a big screen and it's situated between the interior & open air patio. Good service, food & music , this is a great lunch spot !

Italian sandwich

Board and Brew always hits the sandwich cravings! I've been to B&B at multiple locations but first time at this place! This place has a large parking lot with lots of indoor and outdoor seating area, the outdoor has heaters which is great for a cold day. I got the Italian sandwich ($11) and 2 beers ($4 each due to 2 year anniversary special). My Bf got his favorite spicy beef dip! Service is always fast and food here is filling and delicious. I loved the cinnamon bun ale, tasted just like a Smokey cinnamon roll. Don't forget to get the secret sauce for the sandwiches (bomb sauce!). Overall B&B will always be my favorite sandwich place in OC!

Chicken club. No bacon, add avocado (that's very brown).
Ashley H.

My husband and I love board and brew, and have had many positive experiences here. Unfortunately, today we ordered the chicken club and the Baja wrap, and both came with really brown avocado that looked super unappealing. My husband mentioned there were also a bunch of the special sauces sitting out and sauce spilled on the counter when he went to pick it up. Attaching pictures of my sandwich and his wrap for reference. Hopefully this was a fluke, as we hope to return often.

Tub o tuna with sprouts
Wally P.

After visiting B&B a few times I'd like to revise and bump up my prior review by two stars up to a total four stars. I've stayed away from the salads for the reasons previously mentioned, but I've found their sandwiches to be fresh and healthy. And the place is just a cool place to hang out in our community. My new faves are the Tub-O-Tuna with sprouts, and the Veggie Sammie. I just love the sprouts as it seems to be hard to find nowadays, and their squaw bread is freshly made. I also enjoy that the staff is always smiling and friendly, and the food is always quickly delivered from the kitchen. Carry on with the good work over there!!

This is our local go-to spot for lunch. The secret sauce is the best, and the service is quick.

Enjoyed Sunday Brunch for two on the sunny patio today. Seating and service were prompt, competent,…read moreand friendly. We were served fresh tortilla chips and mild salsa upon seating. We ordered two Aperol Spritzes. They were well presented and tasty. My companion ordered two smash tacos. I ordered two Ensenada tacos, one with beer-battered fish, one with grilled shrimp. They all arrived promptly with a smile from the runner. The food was very good. Overall a pleasant experience. One quibble, though: the grilled shrimp really need a rough chop before serving. I bit into my taco and pulled out a whole shrimp. Chewy! Nevertheless, we'll be back.

Finally, Ladera gets a great Mexican restaurant! Hands down the best Happy Hour in town…read more Taco Tuesday Specials run all day with $3 crispy tacos (chix, shredded or ground beef, potato) which are a deal as they're full size and not mini like other places sell at HH. $5 Ensenada Tacos (battered fish or shrimp), are amazing. Guacamole is always fresh and makes a great side to chips and salsa. Margaritas (house or cadillac) are very satisfying and not watered down. Service is always on point and if ur lucky, you might see Franco in action. (yes, he's a real person) So glad Franco's Famous opened a location in Ladera. Check out their other locations in Laguna Hills and San Clemente.

Quality/Quantity: The food here is sooooooo good. We had a pretzel which was the greatest ever by a mile. It was buttery, salty, and soft. World's greatest pretzel for sure. Also, got the Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich which was delicious. We also got a burger that was cooked perfectly and served brioche bun. Lastly, we had the brownie with ice cream which was also amazing. Overall the food was really tasty. The serving sizes here are really good. Value: Pricing seemed very fair to me. Overall: I'm a huge fan of this spot. I plan to come back and try their breakfast which is on Sundays. They have a lot of additional unique and fun activities here (see picture). Very cool ambience here folks. Can't wait to return.

I came on a Saturday night and was very busy so we had to wait in line for a while, but our food came pretty quickly. I got the turkey bacon, avocado sandwich, and it was delicious! The one thing that I was kind of surprised was that they did not have fries as a side you get chips for the side so that was kind of a negative, but not a bad thing My husband ordered the burger and he said it was amazing as well! The ambience is super fun, we were watching game seven of the Dodgers and that was really cool. I will definitely be coming back!

However when it was our turn to order -we were met with a kind smile and genuine interest in our pup. As such we were made welcome and that's a big plus!

The food is consistently delicious, and the pastries are absolutely amazing--always fresh and hard to resist. What really sets this place apart, though, is the service. The owners, Matt and Ava, are often there themselves, making sure everything runs smoothly and that every customer feels taken care of. They are incredibly warm, personable, and genuinely invested in creating a great experience. I've had the pleasure of watching Lola's grow over nearly a decade, and it's been amazing to see how they've built such a loyal community. They're not just a local café--they're part of the neighborhood, always involved and making everyone feel like family. I'm a very happy, loyal customer and can't recommend Lola's enough.
