I'm writing to you from the Burro Flats painted cave - and here I shall spend the rest of my days - because there's no reason to participate in society anymore. All the answers to all the mysteries have been answered, including (but not limited to): What is life's purpose? Is there an afterlife? Why is Ed Sheeran famous? I've studied the holy texts. I've followed a guru. I've attended silent retreats. None had the powers of illumination harnessed within the fresh-baked $8 cookies from The Carving Board. Specifically the chocolate chip cookie and the lemon coconut cookie. (The Turkey Dinner sandwich ain't too shabby, either. (Ask for extra gravy.)) I'll see you soon in the caves. Bring firewood. And more cookies. read more

I felt like staying home for this visit with the Carving Board and it still felt like an awesome experience! I ordered the Health Nut and a side of Turkey Chili. I also got Deep Fried Oreos since someone mentioned they got some at a fair recently. The Health Nut made me feel great while I was eating and after I ate it as well. It is hard to not eat an item filled with avocado, mushrooms, pickled vegetables, baby cucumbers, cashews, chimichurri and sunflower seeds on vegan telera! The side dish of the chili made it a great combination. As for the dessert, four Oreo cookies that were battered and deep fried with powdered sugar and Ghirardelli chocolate made this wholesome meal one of the best I had in awhile! I really enjoy this place and the variety that the menu offers! read more

I've been coming to The Carving Board for many years! The food options are diverse and super tasty. They will have something for you regardless of the mood you are in. They are happy to customize your order if needed. They also have vegetarian options. The manager/owner is one of the nicest people I've encountered. See you there for lunch! read more

........I liked the service and the foods are like homemade foods .Thank you.But they need to change their chairs and tables:)

SERVICE: Super cool staff, clean facility, and free lot parking (back). We stayed for literally 3 hrs chatting. Was able to keep a running tab. First time visiting. Everything was cool. FOOD: Ordered the Turkey Dinner sandwich. Could have used more cranberry sauce for me but was good. Came with homemade chips that had a nice butter crunchy with a soft center. Fries were fine. Also ordered the fried Oreos sprinkled with powdered sugar. With humor, I think I'm too old for these as the grease needed a pop to kill the grease lol. WELL: I'd return, but only if in the area. read more

Came in 8/19 1115 after having not been here for a while. Same great food and really nice people working here. Been coming here 10 years and can always count on the same great quality! read more

I've passed by this place many times and finally took the opportunity to try it. I wasn't disappointed. I was greeted immediately upon coming in. I had placed my order over the phone so it would be ready weighing arrived. For my first time I went with the double smash burger with fries. I had pickles added. The meat was deliciously flavorful and the bread had a sweet touch that I loved. Tree he fries were skinner than I expected based on the pictures online. They were also smaller pieces than I desired. They were good nonetheless. All in all nice restaurant. Seating is offered inside. Free parking is available in the back and the service was very welcoming. I look forward to going back and trying something else next time. read more

My husband and I are regulars at this location and are absolutely obsessed with their Sunrise sandwich, house made chips, and kale pasta salad sides. When I'm in the mood for something light and healthy, I order the Roughage sandwich - even though I'm not vegetarian, I really like how light and savory this sandwich tastes. More recently, when we want something hearty and comforting, we've ordered the seasonal Hot Honey Chicken sandwich - it will NOT disappoint! More than anything we love the quality of the food, and the friendly and efficient service. Shout out, especially to Anebel (Hope I'm spelling his name right) who always greets us with a smile and is so kind! You will love the food here! read more

Time and time again, simple but done phenomenally (dine in and delivered exceptional) Thank you!

Really good sandwiches. Yelp needs me to write more. Ok. Yelp is the worst consumer site and extorts small and midsize businesses by featuring bad reviews if they don't pay them for ads. Yelp is the worst. read more

Today my husband came in for the first time while on our way from Ventura county to San Diego. The staff were super friendly and helpful as we didn't know what to order. I ended up getting their Chimichurri steak sandwich and the kale pasta salad and couldn't have been happier! Both were noticeably fresh, and my husband's salad came with a great portion of avocado and chicken. They even have Jones soda on tap! Would come again! read more

The service was exceptional from the moment we stepped inside. We were greeted with warm smiles and recommendations. I was unimpressed, however, with my meal. I ordered the chicken Parm, which is a popular item on the menu and looked really good. The sauce was smooth, not too tangy and had a nice flavor to it. I believe the chicken breast though was butterflied in a way that went with the grain instead of against it, causing it to be chewy when it was coated and fried. I was able to eat about the quarter of the sandwich but the rest was inedible and very tough to bite through. My husband ordered the Wolfgang sandwich which was a turkey sandwich with goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes, spinach, and pesto that was delicious. He ordered a side of the kale pasta which he liked. The line never ended and regulars kept coming in to grab their order, so it seems like a very hot spot for lunch in Tarzana. Five stars for service and I'd like to return and order differently next time. read more

I didn't know parking in the back. Street park horrendous.Ordered sandwich and wasn't told with side. Received chips. Turkey California Was delicious. Sodas were very good. Only hiccup was they do not take cash. Cash used to be king but not in this place. Credit Card only! Asked for mustered and had to wait for transaction to finish. Nice if it was at counter with other condiments. Clean environment and smiling help. read more

The food, service, ambiance and parking were all 5/5! Will definitely be coming back. I enjoyed that they had other options for fountain drinks besides just being sodas. I for one, don't really care for sodas. They had black and green iced tea and lemonade and pink lemonade. They also sell cold brews-vanilla and mocha. The gentleman working at the register was super friendly and the cooks were all so fast and efficient. There is plenty of parking in the back. There's only one restroom stall but they keep it clean. There's plenty of seating inside or outside. Came here after a nice hike up at Topanga scenic view. Next time you're around the area you should stop by for fresh hot or cold sandwiches and everything is always made fresh. read more

We showed up and made a to go order in person and the people at the counter were really nice. They offered us a water cup while we waited without having to ask and they were quick but still good. I don't know if the food comes with chips but we didn't order any and they provided them and they were made fresh and absolutely delicious. Nice little eating area. And the parking seemed to be free which is always welcomed read more

As far as a sandwich shop goes, it's decent. The name is a little misleading as I expected fresh carved meats, but it's deli meat. I did call ahead and was aware before ordering. My sandwich wasn't as flavorful as I was expecting and was way to soggy. I picked up my order as soon as it was ready and ate it within 15 mins. Sadly, much to soggy in that short period of time to be acceptable. Service was good and quick. This location was pretty empty for a Saturday night, but many seemed to be doing takeout as well. May give it another try one day. read more

The carving board is so underrated when it comes to sandwiches and cookies. The Buenos Aires is by far one of the best steak sandwiches I've ever tried. The customer service is superior and god dammit the cookies fresh out of the over will make crumble look like a joke. I assure you this place is fire it's a must try. read more

Delicious sandwich by far. The ingredients and taste were superb! Very friendly staff and chef. First time here. Restaurant looks new but not very pretty/clean, kinda weird they should deep clean the walls + tables, also upgrade bathroom. If we are paying almost $20 for a sandwich the ambiance should match. Either way the fires were good! But definitely pass on the lemonade was very nasty. read more

The Bentley is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The blue cheese kinda makes it unique.

This place is casual and unassuming. The food seemed to take long until we realized they make it there on the spot when you order. Ordered the chicken parm sandwich, the portion was generous and it was mouthwatering good. Kids had fries with their order. Shoestring fries and very good. I wanted to try the coleslaw and it was great too! This definitely feels more like a take it to go place but if you're in the area and feel like a sandwich or burger, I highly recommend it! read more

great sandwiches we ordered the french dip and bordeaux which were amazing!! the bordeaux was my favorite out of the two it had more freshness from the lettuce which i tend to enjoy more in sandwiches and i loved the goat cheese that came w it. it's not as common of a cheese to put in sandwiches but it really should be it just added such a nice flavor to the chicken and paired so well!! the sides were also good i found the salad to be a little vinegary for my taste. the potato chips were so crispy i dipped them in the sauce that came with the french dip and it was super tasty! the woman that served us was also super sweet she came to check in on us to see if we needed anything after giving us our food! since this place is not really a sit down restaurant i like that we had our food brought to us after ordering it's super thoughtful! great place i would definitely come back! read more

Delicious!! Came with my husband for a Friday lunch. We were the only ones dining in but there was quite a few pick up orders. I loved that everything was made to order, but that does mean the food takes a little bit of time; however it's worth it. My husband and I shared the sunrise sandwich with ham and bacon, a chopped cheese, chips, and the tomato soup. We finished everything and left full but not overly stuffed. Everything was so tasty, the bread is perfectly soft, and the tomato soup is a must order! I would come back! read more

My childhood, school lunch was primarily Oscar Meyer bologna on Wonder brand, white bread with mayo -and I despised having them everyday. BLEH. Therefore, as an adult, I rarely crave eating a sandwich. Until... I met ..The Carving Board ***cue in heaven, enlightened, Theta wave music here*** I ordered via Yelp (fulfilled by GrubHub): The Bohemian: warm veggie sandwich with oven-roasted portobello mushrooms, sautéed red peppers, spinach, and onions basil pesto, melted mozzarella and sunflower seeds on a toasted telera roll (type of Mexican white bread). Mmmm, yum, heaven! One of thee best veggie sandwiches I've had. See my pic -that ooey gooey, melted mozzarella cheese, everything was delicious. Eat it while it's warm. Cost: $15.40 total, paid an additional $2.20 to add on Cashew Edamame Coleslaw. Even the Cashew Edamame Coleslaw was on another level. The added cashew and edamame for texture/crunch, dill for additional flavor ...made usually boring coleslaw, desirable. Note: for big appetites, portion may be small. Small, free parking lot at the back of the shop. Limited socially distanced, outdoor seating available. Order was fulfilled on time as estimated. Thanks, Carving Board for curing my childhood sandwich trauma. I'll definitely be back to try other sandwiches, as it's good therapy for me ;P Stay safe and healthy (mind, body and soul) Yelping out there :) read more

Love their sandwiches and the presentation on a board. Btw they are opened on Presidents Day. Been here three times now and never not satisfied. They have cold and hot sandwiches and salads but technically all sandwiches can be turned into a salad. The sandwiches always come piping hot and their sides are also yummy! I loved the fish and chips sandwich- yes, they jam the chips in your sandwich along with coleslaw. The south Philly is always amazing too. Love how soft the bread is so it won't cut the roof of your mouth but also they toast it so the inside is crispy. They just do it so perfectly! I also love their tomato soup. I always get that as my side. Also tried their chicken Alfredo sandwich and it goes SO well with their side tomato soup. Definitely coming back! read more

I was bringing my girlfriend here hyping it up so much for her because I haven't been here in so long since I moved from the area. I unknowingly got here 25 min before closing and while looking at the menu board a pushy tall guy bald guy rudely told us in an almost argumentative manner, "just so you guys know we're closing in 10 min" obviously showing an unappreciative gesture while making a hand clap. After he walked outside the girl up front said actually we close at 5, which looking at my watch I figured since it was 4:37. That guy just ruined it for me and I walked out. My girlfriend felt bad because I been literally hyping it up all day. Such a shame to have such terrible unwelcoming service from a grumpy bitter middle aged man . I literally was a walking advertisement for this place when suggesting food for people. I'll find a different sandwich spot. read more

I highly recommend, If you do not like it, please just leave and become Vegan ! It is better that way for all of us. Finally, their location on Ventura Blvd, has the worst parking space but the coolest team members. Very friendly and caring about customer's experience. Specially the short hair girl.

Whether you're up for a quick bite or a regular meal with plenty of healthy options then The Carving Board is one of those places for you. This is what we found out when wifey recommended this cafe along side Tarzana ave. Intimate with industrial ambiance the cafe exudes classic american vibe. The staff is friendly and willing to bring you up to speed with original creations (choice of meat, ingredients and all). Son and I ordered BBQ Bacon Burger (the whole 6z all beef with thick bacon slices uptop), The Carving Club sandwich (ham, roasted turkey and bacon on sliced sourdough is perfect) with a side salad on a separate order. Oh - all burgers come with chips so that works with the hipster price tag on them. We walked in late afternoon so the place isnt that crowded yet and had our orders freash from the "Carving Board" so to speak in 10+ minutes. This place is so accessible as it is simply by Tarzana Blvd so definitely will come back for a second bite! read more
