Best sandwich shop around. I like to get the French dip add mayo. Take it home and pour the gravy all over the sandwich and it's just like having a roast beef poor boy from New Orleans. Service is always quick and easy. Lots of parking available. Great places to sit outside and enjoy your meal. read more

As expected like the other locations! Service is friendly and quick, food is consistently good, and the vibes are the usual surfer town brewery just like the rest! Stopped by for a quick lunch, I like to get the chicken club on squaw bread.. never disappoints! Grilled chicken is usually tender and juicy, but the bacon deserves the spotlight. I don't know what kind of bacon or what they do to it, but it's so mouth watering to think about how it's got a slight crunch to it when fresh.. nice saltiness too. Just chef's kiss there! Until next time! read more

The secret spread for the sandwiches is tasty. Board & Brew in Laguna Niguel is a popular, laid-back sandwich shop and bar known for its fresh, hefty "sandos" and rotating selection of local craft beers. It has a distinct surf-themed vibe, complete with surfboards and local art, making it a favorite neighborhood hangout for a casual lunch or to watch sports. read more

We love coming to board & brew. Our go to is usually the veggie supreme and the secret sauce, which is such a treat given how it really brings out the taste in the veggie. The veggie is packed with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, sprouts, jack and cheddar cheese, onions and avocado on sweet wheat bread. Half of it is enough to fill you up and they do not go light on ingredients which I love. The Italian has salami, uncured natural smoked ham, turkey breast, swiss cheese, banana peppers, homemade Italian dressing, dijon mustard, lettuce, tomato, & red onions on a French baguette. We just wish the bread was a little more warm. We have ordered for pick up and sitting down. There's always plenty of seating and parking available. Service is quick and staff is always friendly. Ambiance is stellar and a great place to really kick back. Grateful for a sandwich spot that always delivers such freshness. Tastes better when at the beach read more

I've been coming here for many years and while I don't usually have a lot to say about 'sandwich shops', I just wanted to give a 'big shout' out to this location because they have been consistently 'on point!' We've ordered sandwiches for the family and the sandwich boxes for parties. My go-to is usually the Turkcado on sourdough, w. a side of sauce which is sweet and tangy almost like a cross between a Russian dressing My grandson likes that as well. My husband usually goes for the roast beef dip or the hot (no hormones) chicken wrap. My brother is a pastrami fan so that's what he gets and my sister-in-law likes the veggie wrap with cream cheese. But regardless of what is ordered, it's always thick, plenty of meat, and avocado, lettuce is fresh and crisp, and they make it exactly as requested. Most of the time, I use their app to order and it's always ready when we get there! Whoever this franchise owner is, they've got it down to a science. Great job! The employees are helpful and the service is quick. There's inside seating in the back and also seating on the patio. The place is always busy and it's clean and well kept. read more

Their potato salad is also yummy! But even more amazing is the fact that they came through not once but twice to feed the Dana Hills girls volleyball team sandwiches! Thank you guys so much for that.

This location is a disaster. (At least on Sunday from 1-3pm) If I was the owner of this franchise, I would like to know my employees are all screwing around while customers are present. We called in an order and arrived early to drink a pint. The ladies at the cash register were barely present. 6-7 people were in line and one of the ladies stepped aside to talk to her friend. The cooks were brewing instant coffee together. The kitchen did not impress as flys were around our beers. One guy was paying attention which was a plus. I suppose this is how it is on a "slow" Sunday. The other locations are much better! read more

She had the California delight sandwich . The second time I went with her , back to Board and brew, I decided to try the California delight sandwich and I have been buying it ever since .

Came here during my lunch break, I ordered a Tub-O-Tuna with sourdough toasted. I saw the cashier input the 'toasted' option before I paid. I got the sandwich untoasted. Let the guy with long blond hair and brown corduroy hat know that it was made incorrectly and I understood that they could not take it back. All I asked was for some toasted sourdough so they wouldn't have to remake the sandwich entirely, he said okay and left. I waited and got ignored. Wasted my time waiting, spent my hard earned money for poor service and an incorrectly made sandwich. Ridiculous read more

California delight no tomatoes with two sauces! That's the best Sandwhich in my opinion. The cream cheese and sunflower seeds is what makes it perfect. Parking typically is good it's shared with the other restaurants but if you can't find one right in front you can go on the back side (by Pete's coffee) and park in the back where additional outside seating is. The service is the reason I did not give it 5/5. The cashiers seem to not want to be bothered with. I have gone in multiple times and prefer to order online and just pick it up. The ambiance is great feels beachy and well put together. Overall I'll always go back for this Sandwhich it's perfect to take to the beach... I just wish the service was a little more friendly.

Next time, we might ask to sit outside so our young boys can watch the cars drive by. We learned that the kitchen is nut free (always double check as this could change), which was amazing since our son has a severe nut allergy. He was so excited to learn this as he can be limited at other places due to cross contamination or the wrong oils. Then when the food came out and it was delicious - it sealed the deal. It is now in the top of our list of places to go. The kids cheeseburger is good size and not a smaller version as some places do. The chicken tenders were panko crusted which was so crunchy. My husband and I shared the smoked carrot and chicken tacos and we enjoyed them both. The beer was also very good with my husband and I each trying a different kind - an IPA and a Pale Ale. We are so glad we finally stopped in and so should you!

The music is chill and groovy. It is just a chill place. Overall rating a solid 5.0

My wife and I have been meaning to go back to Apizza Doho for a couple of years and finally got…read moreback, yesterday. Thanks to Yelp for reminding us of it. We've been kicking ourselves since then for not coming back sooner. Excellent food and service. We only had their lunch special with "The Original" with peperoni and sausage. We were primed for good pizza, but didn't expect the salad would be so great, too. A couple next to us had the lunch special, too, and were raving about "The Vampire" pizza. I guess we'll try it next time. We've decided to come back regularly to work our way down the pizza menu.

When I was telling a friend about this place, I pulled up my handy dandy Yelp and was surprised…read morethat I hadn't written a review about this place yet! We spent a few nights in Dana Point and was really close to this restaurant. We got it to go and ate it back at our hotel, but wow, the pizza was memorable for sure. We got the vampire and the original and they both were great choices. Definitely a great spot for pizza in Dana point!

Great Saturday evening dinner. The front staff are very friendly, great upfront team…read more Started off with the Meatballs, this was not a very good dish. They were hard and dry on the outside...not moist...must have been heated up poorly. The Farmers Market Salad was great...fresh peaches and burrata cheese...so good! The Wedge Salad is exceptional, as well. Not pictured. The Crispy Rice Sushi was very, very good. Spicy and the Wasabi was just the right mix. The Steak Frits was prepared perfectly at Medium Rare with the chimmi-churi green sauce complimented the steak perfectly. Although getting fries with your steak dinner seems more of a lunch side and not a dinner side. However, the fries were seasoned and tasted good. We didn't order drinks...we were more hungry and wanted to save room for the Butter Cake dessert! Incredible...this is a must have. I highly recommend this place. You'll have a very good time...food, et all.

The only downside was it was a bit loud when cars passed by. Restaurant is beautiful, love the vibe. Our server Sean C. was very pleasant and attentive. I had the avocado tartine with tots on the side, everything was fresh and tasty. Hubbs had the smash burger which he devoured quickly. For drinks i only got a decaf, wish they had matcha - it would've been a perfect meal for me.

As you walk in, it looks like your typical sports bar. Open concept, tvs on the wall, its perfect for larger groups. The event I attended was held in their little patio area. Its such a cute area. It also has a tv, a ton of tables. Also great for large groups. This joint is owned by locals and they support locals too. Most of their beers are by local brewers, although they also have a couple national ones. They are all for supporting local businesses. The food was delicious! You order and pay through your phone. I had their potato taquitos and omg they were so good! Totally recommend them. Overall I will be back in the future for sure.

One tip, the sweet spot seems to be groups of four since most of the tables are set up that way, so that's probably your best bet for a shorter wait. Old Fashioned -- Perfect. I loved the smoky flavor; the bartender actually smokes the wood, which really comes through in the drink. Butterball Whiskey in the best way. Super smooth, you almost don't taste the alcohol at all. Feta Cheese Dip -- Surprisingly really good. The feta and tomatoes gave it a rich, umami flavor. Only downside: I wish they gave more bread because we had way more cheese left over. Goat Cheese Empanadas -- Solid. That classic goat cheese tang/funk, but really well done. BBQ Brisket Sandwich -- Just okay. The brisket itself had good flavor, but the bread was a bit too toasted and it felt like something was missing overall. Definitely planning to come back!
