    Classic Cheesesteak!!! Hot!!!!
    Eric L.

    Hot and delicious!!! Friendly people. Easy to order. Made me feel welcomed and made sure my cheesesteak was awesome!!!!

    No cheese on my fries
    Dave D.

    Ordered cheese fries.....no cheese at all, even though the order said "cheese fries" and there wasn't any customers so no excuse for not reading the order correctly.

    My cheesecake with mushrooms and onions is not the same.
    Maria H.

    My sandwich is very dry. I have barely any cheese at all. I hope the other cook comes back soon.

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

Coming from a family deeply rooted in the fire service, the brothers created the brand to reflect a firefighter-inspired atmosphere centered on teamwork, community, and public service. There's just something so special about a meatball sandwich that really makes my mouth salivate. No sure if it's the melted cheese, the aroma of marinara frolicking in the air, or the plump juicy meatballs. Whatever it is, it's definitely has a chokehold on me. I used to think Subway's meatball sub was good but then I found Firehouse and holy mother of ****, I was blown away. Bigger meatball portions and tastier too. I was instantly sold by the masterpiece. The bread held everything perfectly together. Make sure to let it cool down before you bite into it or you'll be needing a hose to cool down because that thing can leave a burn on your tastebuds.

The bread was lightly sweet and went perfectly with the turkey meat. The cookie in the sandwich box was amazing. It was so fresh and I can really tell. I love cookies but am super picky and I loved the chocolate chips cookie that came in the box. Sandwiches can use a bit more meat.
