    Bacon Cheese Burger
    Jonathan p.

    Great little burger joint, they are friendly and the place has a classic burger shack vibe to it. Quick service on the burgers very delicious chicken teriyaki plates as well.

    Lettuces they serve you is garbage, asked for new one and all I got was everything is like that.

    Lettuces was garbage! Service is good, but the quality of food has been decreasing lately, they need a new management who actually cares for food quality and safety.

    Was craving a burger and decided to give this place a shot. Ordered at the drive thru and was waiting long enough to turn my car off. There were two cars ahead of me. The burger was ok and I wasn't able to finish it. Definitely a bigger burger as far as width goes but I got halfway through eating it and it wasn't appetizing anymore. The fries weren't tasty either. If you like mom and pop burger stands give them a try.

    Chicken & beef teriyaki plate. The dressing is seriously meant to put on the teriyaki. Try it!!

    Solid teriyaki chicken and wonderful portions for those on a budget. I got the chicken and beef combo and I have to say the chicken is the better of those two meats. I can't recommend enough to ask for a side of Thousand Island dressing and pour it over the top of your teriyaki mmmm. It sounds funky buts the bomb! Get the chicken teriyaki and horchata and don't forget to get a side of thousand island dressing -1 Star only because the beef had a odd smell which could have been the marinade but it still tripped me out. The woman at the window was super nice and helpful. I think she was around 45 ish, latina with a great smile.

    This place brings up childhood memories, so I absolutely love this place. This restaurant has been around it seems forever. Because I remember my dad taking me there. It might look a bit run down but don't be fooled the food is good. The French fries are really good and the teriyaki sandwich is good. Can't forget about the Cheeseburger combos. Nice little place with a hole in the wall kind of feel with good food and friendly service. Great family owned restaurant ..definitely recommended.. They also have a drive thru. For my Spanish speaking friends: Muy buenas anburgesas -Very Delicious hamburgers! Yes, the wait can be long at times, but thats how you know the food is fresh!!!

    Regular burger

    Without a doubt, one of the best drive through burgers I've had in a long time! It was perfectly built and the sauce was delicious! Although prices have gone up in the past couple years (but that's everywhere), for the same price as a combo meal at McDonald's, you get fresher food, larger portion sizes and friendly employees. I'll definitely be back!!

    Wanted to try something new this Friday and took a chance here and, it did not disappoint! Staff were kind and no line in the drive though. Burger was one of the best I've had, perfect portion. The fries were double the size of any place you are gonna find. Would recommend trying!

    Spicy Teriyaki Chicken Plate
    Geo R.

    Beware of the spicy chicken teriyaki! First of all, I love spicy food and am used to eating it all the time but I def was not prepared for what got here. Ordered the spicy teriyaki chicken plate and well figured like all other places, the spiciness level is manageable and savory with the rest of the food....well this one is definitely NOT. The chicken looks like any other teriyaki chicken but when you taste it, daaaang it hits you hard. Almost as if these people use the chili oil extract instead of sauce. Immediately after a few bites, my eyes began to water and runny nose as to how spicy this is in the beginning. I had to give it a 3 because of how the spiciness level does not allow you to actually enjoy the food, it makes you uncomfortable and I for one like spicy food I can enjoy and eat spice due to the flavor it gives the food...but this, this isn't flavorful it's just straight up HOT and you cannot enjoy your food. My advice, just order the regular teriyaki chicken and I'm sure it will be good.

    the cook said i couldnt get more napkins and stared at me dirty like i wasnt a customer

    I consider myself above average in the field of sandwich expertise. I work in the field as a…read moreRegional Manager, I enjoy sandwiches still and I try out different spots often to see what the "competition" is like. Board and Brew is definitely top notch! I was deciding on where to snag lunch on my way to another store doing my rounds and I really wanted a sandwich. I decided to get the Turkado, some dirty Maui chips and drink. The total came to $17 and some change, not bad about the avg for the area and any lunch. The service was great, the woman who helped me was nice, and efficient, she helped me select what chips to get. Not much bantering but I do enough of that at work, so all good here. The store was clean, nice vibe, music. My order was ready in the time it took me to fill my soda cup and sit down to scroll 1 scroll thru outlook emails. Maybe 5-7 mins the woman who gave me my order asked if I wanted some secret sauce on the side, and put it in the bag. The bag felt heavy! The sub was huge! Probably 8inches bread was nice and springy, there was enough lettuce, tomato and sauces on it. I love the sunflower seeds, gives it a nice little crunch. The meat is more of a very thin piled high but there is a lot of it! I like how the sub is assembled meat, cheese, toppings sauce, it seems to hold together nicely.

    This review covers my experience across multiple locations, including Harbor Boulevard in Costa…read moreMesa and Beach Boulevard in Huntington Beach. When I first started coming to Board and Brew, I would have given it a solid five stars, but my perspective has shifted after six years of exploring other local options in the county. The Evolution of the Experience: * Ingredients: While the food is definitely better than a pre-made deli sandwich from a grocery store, it isn't exactly top-tier. The bread and meat are good, but as you try more specialized places, you realize these are fairly standard. * The Famous Sauce: Their signature sauce is tasty, but it feels like it contains a high amount of monosodium glutamate (MSG). MSG is a neuro-exciter that can make people feel overstimulated or unwell after eating it, and it feels particularly intense in this recipe. * Consistency: Both the Huntington Beach and Costa Mesa locations were great initially, but they now feel more like a solid, middle-of-the-road option. The Best Use Case: * Catering & Events: Even with a three-star rating, this is absolutely the place I would go if I needed catering for a birthday party or a large event. Their pricing and preparation for bulk orders are hard to beat. Final Thoughts: If Yelp allowed half-stars, I'd probably give this a 3.5. It's a reliable, solid sandwich shop, but the ingredient quality and the intensity of the MSG in the sauce keep it from being a five-star favorite for me anymore. Edit: The owner replied to my comment about how their food is high quality, but 6 years of taste testing says otherwise. While you may not add pure MSG crystals to your sauce, it still contains MSG.It is misleading to claim "No MSG" or "High Quality" when the sauce relies on ingredients that are chemically identical to it. For instance: Tomatoes and Tomato Paste: These are among the highest natural sources of free glutamate. If the recipe uses tomato paste--as many copycats do--it will test positive for MSG. Soy Sauce & Worcestershire Sauce: Both frequently cited in recipes for this sauce, these contain naturally occurring MSG through fermentation or hydrolysis. Nutritional Yeast: Often used to provide a savory flavor, it naturally contains high levels of glutamate.Hydrolyzed Proteins: Ingredients like "hydrolyzed vegetable protein" (HVP) or "yeast extract" are processed specifically to release glutamates. Legally, a company might say they "don't use MSG" if they don't add the pure additive, but that is a technicality. MSG is linked to various health issues for sensitive individuals, and just because many consider it "safe" doesn't mean it's healthy or non-harmful. If the food is truly "high quality," why rely on these additives to create flavor? Best Wishes
