    TURKEY DELUXE
    Kia T.

    Love this place! The food is so fresh and tasty. The portions are quite big. Been going to other locations for years. The parking in this center can be tough, but there is plenty of seating inside and patio. Little bar with lots of craft beer options. Staff was friendly. Always a go to if I'm in the area.

    Yummy sandwich shop with fresh ingredients, craft beer and friendly customer service. Had 2 hours to kill while baby was getting new rims at Discount Tire, hung out here for a Honey lager and a turkey avocado sandwich on sourdough (TURKADO), yum!! Fresh soft bread, delicious turkey and avocado, shaved red onions, lettuce and tomatoes- but it needs mustard and pickles!! Various sandwiches from grilled to cold and numerous salads. Cool bar area, craft beers and TV, great place to hang!

    I went to the grand opening last weekend on Friday. There was only 2 people in line in front of me and it moved quickly. I odered the turkado and the Italian sub and wandered around the restaurant whilst I waited. I love the outdoor area with the bar, such a nice outdoor space. The skateboard decor around the booths is a cool touch. My sandwiches were done pretty quickly and I took them to a friends. We both really enjoyed them. The perfect amount of seasonings and flavors and the sides of orange sauce were good too. I'm happy to have this so close me to me. I used to eat there when I lived in Del Mar! I look forward to returning

    Grand opening! The place is small but there is an outdoor seating area if there are no tables available in door. This place is in a plaza with other restaurants, grocery stores and department stores. I've had better sandwiches BUT the service here was super helpful and friendly. For that, I'd return. I did get a chance to try their beef dip sandwich and I thought it was very well done. I'd recommend that if you're wanting a hot sammie!

    This was all of the pastrami I had to take out or spit out! So nasty!!!! You guys were a real disappointment big time today!

    Frequently go to Board and Brew as sandwiches are generally good Last few times, bread has been stale. Disappointing.

I'll admit it was a little bit of a culture shock when I walked in. Albums for sale, food, coffee, and more of a lounge feel than the classic San Diego brewery setup I'm used to. I guess that explains the fancier name. I liked it though. Good place to sit, people watch, and catch the traffic near the station. There were plenty of Padres fans rolling through that day, which added to the energy. The beer is still Modern Times, still cold, and still refreshing. Fun spot.

When I visited there was a party happening, but the staff still made a point to take care of everyone. Multiple bartenders checked in with me throughout the night to see if I needed anything, which really stood out. I ordered the dry cider, which was the only cider available at the time. I would have loved to see a few more cider options, but the one they had was still really delicious. I also got a flatbread pizza and it was excellent--perfect as an appetizer or even a light dinner. There's plenty of seating and the ambiance makes it a great place to relax and spend some time. This will definitely be a must-stop spot for me anytime I'm back in the area.

And our server was fantastic. So why, you might ask, only 4 stars in my review. Two reasons: 1). Management has prohibited giving a splash of a beer for someone to sample. Bottom line is that I wanted to order a pint of beer, but I wanted a splash of a couple of beers to try to make my decision. They refused, saying that one must buy a 5oz taster if one wants to taste the beer. I find that policy offensive. In the end I bought a taster to taste the Chuuurch, and then bought an additional pint after. It just seems nickel and dimey, and would be asking to an ice cream place not allowing one to sample their ice creams before buying a cone. I hope management reconsiders this policy. 2. My wife got the Hot Mess Fries and was disappointed not only in the flavor, but also in the misleading advertising. On the menu it specifically said that there was bacon in the fries, but in fact what they put on the fries was either chunks of ham or "Canadian bacon" (which as we all know is a very different thing from "bacon"). If they were or of regular bacon, the kitchen should have told the server this so he could have asked her if she wanted ham as a substitute. And, of they always use ham instead of bacon, them the menu needs to be changed to reflect that.

    My favorite stop on my recent trip to the San Diego area…read more Encinitas Fish Shop was recommended by one of my local SD work colleagues. I grabbed an Uber after work on a Thursday and headed north 11 miles. As I arrived at the Fish Shop, I could smell the goodness inside and saw the line waiting to order. The restaurant is on one side, with an open bar on the other. Ordering is as simple as 1, 2, 3. Pick your fish, pick how you want to consume it (plate, sandwich, salad), and pick your sides and drink. I went with my work colleagues recommendation of a blackened sea bass sandwich with onion rings and a Marg. That choice was FANTASTIC!!! You seat yourself once you order and place the buzzer given to you by the counter person on the unit on your table. Although busy, there were still tables available (bar and restaurant, plus out front). As the NBA playoffs were on, I sat inside. Everyone working here was friendly and as I already stated... my meal was the best I had on this San Diego visit. A bonus was a gorgeous sunset just 3 blocks down from the shop. I will be back to Encinitas Fish Shop when I next visit San Diego.

All the food was fresh and delicious! There was quite a long line out the door but it moved relatively fast and there was plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. You order at the counter before sitting down so it was a bit stressful going as a solo diner that wanted to eat there as it was super packed with lots of groups and families so people were grabbing seats while one member of their group was in line ordering. But I was able to grab a seat facing out the sidewalk to enjoy my lunch!

They were clearly short staffed on Father's Day, so I allowed for that. However, when you're sitting there forever and 3 wait staff are going by you several times and can't even say "someone will be with you shortly ".....not a word. Funny thing is the patios were fairly empty. We would have left, but again we've loved the food here for 14 years so hung in there. Then big mistake was sitting across from the pizza oven! The hostess, who I have to say is an amazing employee, she was literally doing everything. Seating people, cleaning tables, answering the phone, cleaning the stuff off the pizza area, bringing clean pans, getting drinks, etc. BUT she was using those nasty old rags to clean the table, touching the cash register etc., never washed her hands and then she was grabbing handfuls of the fresh basil and ripping pieces and putting them on the pizza, then posting the pizza with her fingers to maybe check it wasn't burned on the bottom? I was literally dying watching this, I'm not even a germaphobe. Then I watched the other waiter who wears dirty baggy jeans wipe his hands in his pants and also manhandle the basil in the same way. So gross. I saw another party get mad because the pizza was not cut, they asked for it to be cut again....and then got angry because they still had to tear at it and everything fell off. When our pizza came....it was the same, but we dealt with it. We ALWAYS get the Butterscotch pudding, but at this point we just wanted out. Had to wait forever to ask for a box and check. I'll miss the old Blue Ribbon as I miss Craftsman sadly, but there are others with actual service, we gave them a chance the last time it was bad, but this is the 2nd and done!
