    The sandwich I ordered and 1/2 of the sandwich i received

    I think my picture says it all. I specifically asked for EXTRA red onions. I guess its opposite day at B & B today. There isn't even a 1/4 of shredded lettuce. One very very very thin slice of tomatoes and one square of cheese, for the entire sandwich. NOTHING LIKE THE PICTURE. Will I eat here again? Absolutely NOT.

    BAJA BEEF
    Billy G.

    Second time I've been here this trip to San Diego. The Baja beef sandwich is a huge winner. Sliced beef and onions with fried jalapeños It's a fast food style restaurant walk up and order the people they work there are always nice and polite and good at their jobs. Thanks There is a bar you can sit at and tables and outside there are more tables with umbrellas so there's always enough seats.

    TOM'S CHOICE and TUB O'TUNA

    I'm a sucker for Board & Brew sandwiches! I had never been to this location before though. Walking in your greeted with smiles and good vibes. Place was immaculately clean and has plenty of seating inside and out. Craft beer on tap and in cans and Sodas for everyone else. The decor inside definitely gives off that beach vibe which for some reason seems to make order a sandwich all that much better haha. I got the Tom's Choice which has slow-roasted beef, turkey breast, cheddar cheese, with toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion, and their signature Sweet-Sour Dressing on a toasted French baguette. I absolutely demolished this monster of a sandwich!! My girlfriend got the Tub O Tuna Sandwich which has albacore tuna salad, Jack cheese, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and onion on sweet wheat bread. She's a light eater so she only ate half of this massive sandwich! If she doesn't like any part of something she won't eat it so I can vouch that she really enjoyed it!! Tip: I like the Board & Brew secret sauce you're welcome. It's a zesty, creamy, and tangy blend of ingredients similar to a French or Thousand Island dressing and I promise you won't be disappointed! See you soon Board & Brew Santee

    I love board and brew!!! We go often, I live their food. It's ALWAYS fresh, staff is always great, the beer is cheap and good!! (Huge draw ) love people watching the local crew that hangs out seems daily. Go and try anything and I swear it will be great!! I do wish they build out larger, or move locations. It's such a popular place it's hard to get a table sometimes, and loved when they did the live music. Only real place in Santee and from someone who absolutely loves to go watch, live music, have dinner and a few drinks with people I just wish the location was larger. *I do want to note, because they are off the riverbed, and critters are around and food drips through possibly, the tables and ground get grimy, and really need to be power washed regularly under them. But the place is super clean over all.

    Chicken club sandwich was flavorful and bread was fresh . Not sure what the orange sauce in the side was but it was very good . Came here around 1 pm my sandwich was ready in less than five minutes. The girl at the counter was alittle rude but other than that it was a great experience . Seems like a place locals like to hangout and have a beer it was busy on a Tuesday

    California delight

    Board & Brew is such a great place to grab a classic sub sandwich in SD! The best part is their specialty orange sauce - I have literally no idea what is in this stuff, but it brings your sandwich to the next level. The girl at the register was so nice and went the extra mile for us! She let us know all the fun changes and additions you can make to your sandwich. My favorite here is the California Delight, my friends tried the Turkey Club and Turkado sandwiches and they were super yummy as well.

    Still a great sandwich shop! Great service from the staff and lots of room for dining in or sitting outside to eat. Updating to include some recent photos

Inside and out on the patio. They have a very nice and large bar top. The place is quite large with an open and airy feel. Definitely cool brewery vibes. The bathroom was really impressive; huge and spotlessly clean. They have a great selection of beers on tap from light to IPA. Stouts, darks - a beer for everybody. Beer only right now. I enjoyed a very tasty Mexican Lager (La Bamba). Becky begrudgingly enjoyed one as well. She no longer drinks beer. She lost nearly 50 pounds by switching to low carb, low calorie seltzers a few years ago. That was our only disappointment, no seltzers. Not even in cans in the cooler. If we ever return, she'll have to bring her own. Sunny Grove does not have a kitchen, but they do host a different food truck or pop-up nearly every day. Check the calendar on their website for details. sunnygrovebeer.com Definitely a cool spot, just wish they'd add a seltzer even if it is canned.

The sides are purchased separate and come in generous sharing portions. We enjoyed the sweet potato fries, potato wedges, and onion rings. All nice n crisp. By that point, I was too full and took some bread pudding home for later. I enjoyed the flavor, but the texture was bit too mushy for me. The ladies working were incredibly friendly and sweet to everyone. A nice casual, clean dining area. There were multiple TVs on showing sports, without it being super loud. The dining area was actually a bit quiet until more people started showing up. Prices are fair. Definitely a place to try.

The space was clean and inviting, and we were seated quickly after we arrived. Since it's also a bar, it was definitely on the louder side. We were still able to have a conversation, but it was a bit noisy. Our server, Jane, was great. She answered all of our questions and gave us recommendations by sharing her personal favorites, the restaurant's top sellers, and describing how each dish tasted. She was very knowledgeable and thorough with the menu, which made ordering easy. It did take a little while for our food to come out, but once it arrived, I ordered the Wagyu Beef Sliders, and my friend had the Short Rib Mac & Cheese. The sliders were just okay for me. The beef was cooked more on the well-done side than I would have preferred, and the toasted bun was a little too hard. The sliders tasted a bit dry, so I found myself adding ketchup to almost every bite. On the other hand, my friend really enjoyed the Short Rib Mac & Cheese. They said it was super cheesy, gooey, and melted in your mouth. The short rib added a rich, savory flavor, and the crispy onions gave the dish a nice little crunch that balanced out the creamy texture. Even though my meal didn't quite hit the mark, I'd definitely come back to try other menu items. Jane's service was great, and based on my friend's meal, it seems like there's plenty more on the menu worth exploring.
