VEGI SUPREME
Emma S.

Update: tried the vegi supreme today with the mayo, it was very good! Also tried the sauce for the first time and it was really good poured on the sandwich.

Potato Salad. Tender chunks of potato. The dressing is creamy and slightly vinegary.

A casual sandwich spot where the bread is always fresh and once you find a favorite, it's hard to stray away from it. Oh, and they serve beer on tap too. THE FOOD. - Baja Chicken Sandwich. The grilled chicken is on the leaner side, but layered with melted cheese, tomatoes, and crisp shredded lettuce for that perfect bite. What really kicks it up a notch are the sliced jalapeños - fresh, spicy, and just the right amount of heat. The house secret sauce, sweet, tangy, and a little creamy, balances the sandwich beautifully. The toasted bun gives each bite that satisfying crunch. Highly recommend! - Potato Salad. House made. Tender chunks of potato mixed with bits of crunchy celery and finely diced pickles for brightness. The dressing is creamy and slightly vinegary. This is a must try. THE PARKING. Located in the Westfield UTC shopping center, the first two hours of self-parking are free. After, they charge $3 each hour after ($3 for 2-3 hours, $6 for 3-4 hours, etc.). The $15 daily maximum is charged for parking more than 6 hours. THE VERDICT. Dependable, flavorful, and thoughtfully made -- a great go-to for a delicious sandwich done right.

Potato salad
Christopher G.

It's been a while since I've visited a Board & Brew location, but I came by this one in the UTC mall yesterday with my brother. I had a Turkey club and it was pretty solid--everything tasted fresh and there was a reasonable amount of meat. The secret sauce they give on the side kind of reminds me of a tangier, thinner-bodied In-N-Out spread. Wait time wasn't bad, although the store was busy, and it was also fairly clean inside. Overall a decent spot for a decent sandwich, but nothing to shout about necessarily. Update: Came back with the family today, had a decent experience. I got a Cobb salad and it was pretty tasty! Came with a low-cal spicy ranch. Not really that "spicy" for me, but it was pretty large and hearty, and they gave a good amount of chicken. The potato salad was also really good for a chain restaurant. It had dill in it and quite a lot of flavor.

Woof  Ms Maisel wished everyone a happy pawlidays!

Great for dogs and the Baja beef is brimming with umami goodness! Tasty bread that doesn't get soggy and bread that handles that delicious steak! oh and for a small list of drafts, they are expertly chosen so I found mine. !

TURKADO - sub sweet wheat bread and add sprouts
Faye L.

I was skeptical to try this location due to the reviews . I was in the area yesterday so decided to drop by to order a quick sandwich . Their online order system was either down or doesn't exist for this UTC location that day . Easiest to park by the parking closest to Batch & Batch and Pacific Catch. Store wasn't too busy that late afternoon . No line to order and two staff working behind the counter . No one noticed me as they were speaking to each other so I finally said hello to get help . The guy was fine but not as welcoming as other locations. My turkado was made quickly and came with one secret sauce. Make sure to check you bag as it seems to only come with one sauce per sandwich. They gave me an extra sauce along with their habanero sauce (you must try the habanero as it seems home made and it's spicy!). Overall , a really good sandwich for the price . Hopefully their online ordering is available next time.

Italian Sub
Allison P.

Sandwiches are definitely up there when thinking about my favorite foods- especially in terms of lunches. Now being based in San Diego, everyone and their mom is a Board & Brew fan. While I've given them a handful of tries, they always miss the mark and this time was no different. I went with their Italian Sub which features all the classic fillings on a French baguette. It was a fine sandwich. Just fine. There was nothing really bad about it, but there was also nothing really great about it. I always feel like their sandwiches are just missing a little something something. This might be criminal to some, but I'm also not a fan of their sauce. It's way too sweet for me. Will also note that I don't love their bread- it's a bit too thick and overwhelms the sandwich. What I do love about Board & Brew is their team. Everyone is so very nice, helpful, and happy to be there! Always a pleasure interacting with them.

BAJA WRAP
Roselle R.

It's been a while since I've had Board & Brew and I was ecstatic to hear that they opened a new location in UTC! This location has both indoor and outdoor seating and is located in the newly built section of UTC Mall. I went there during lunch with some coworkers and the line went by pretty fast. I ordered the baja wrap and we were able to find seating inside for a large group. The baja wrap tasted amazinggggg and the secret sauce makes it even better. Highly recommend trying Board & Brew if you haven't already!

Katrina D.

Can't believe I haven't made a review yet for board and brew! Discovered the del mar location in my second year of college and now have been going consistently ever since even after graduating now too. I've tried pretty much everything on the menu and you really can't go wrong with any sandwhich here. My personal favs though are the italian sub, chicken club, and tom's choice because that one includes roast beef AND turkey. If you want something light, the turkado and veggie supreme would be perfect too! The secret sauce they have on the side is amazing and really pairs well with everything on their menu. A couple times I've been though, this location can get busy during a lunch rush or on weekends. Sometimes I've also tried placing an online order and the location just never receives the order, so just be wary of that as that has happened to me at least like 3 times now.

I ordered the American and it was excellent. Very high quality sausage, a good balance of cheese and a nice crisp thin crust that was perfect. Overall a nice place to get a beer or two and pizza. The menu did offer a wider range of options too.

My…read morefavorites are the Supreme and the pepperoni, both of which are always made fresh to order and come out hot and flavorful. The prices are a bit on the higher side. A large Supreme runs about $24, but the quality of the ingredients and consistency help justify the cost. They do have a very cost effective lunch combo. Unfortunately, I've never been able to participate in it as I work weekday. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the customer service has been solid every visit. The vibe inside is laid-back and relaxed, making it an easy place to enjoy a meal without feeling rushed. It's also very family-friendly, as I almost always see families dining in. The Pizza Taproom is located in a large shopping plaza with spots like AMC, Barnes & Noble, and World Market, which makes it a convenient stop after shopping or catching a movie. Parking is plentiful, which is another plus. Overall, this is a reliable spot for quality pizza with good service and a comfortable atmosphere. While the prices keep it from being a perfect 5, everything else lines up for a solid 4-star experience.

Love having happy hour here, especially with out of towners. Feels like vacay!…read more St. Patty's Day - and it was going to be mobbed in a lot of bars - but was quiet, sunny, and serene here! We had a great time enjoying the patio as the only folks at 4 (happy hour is 4-6 pm). Eric was a very nice server too. I didn't like the happy hour wine choices last time, so today I got a mojito. It was not a happy hour special so not cheap - but it was perfection. (and green, which I wasn't thinking about LOL). The baja halibut taco for $12 was tasty and a good value for getting to pretend you're staying here at Estancia without paying $500 a night. We also got yucca fries, which were $8 for a plate and extremely delicious. Not the cheapest happy hour in town - but one of the classiest. Happy hour staycation at Mustangs & Burros is a-ok with me!

Three of the four plates set out when we arrived were dirty with some sticky sauce. Although the lamb shank and seabass were delicious in themselves, there was little substance to the dishes besides meat. I'd definitely recommend ordering to share, and with some side dishes or appetizers. The "salad" on the lamb shank was more like a garnish as the stems and leaves were bitter and hard to eat. Even after the $46 lamb shank, I was still hungry and ate fast food takeout. Ordering more would have been much too expensive. For 2 dishes it was $115 post tax+tip and we were disappointed.

Ended up giving the hotel restaurant a chance despite the 3.5 rating. Was very pleased with our experience!

But the mash potatoes were good. The Ahi Tuna tostadas definitely had really good flavor! The cheesecake was good paired with a cup of Americano. The price did feel on the high side for the portion size and quality, but I think we're really just paying for the convenience. Wasn't very busy, service was attentive.

This is the kind of place you don't expect to be good but it surprises you in the best way possible. Would come back here in a heartbeat.
