This review is not for the food, facility nor the regular staff, the young kids that work here + everyone else are so pleasant, kind and helpful + it's my favorite sandwich in San Diego. I come here at least once a week and there is a new younger woman who seems as though she has taken on a roll of manager? She is bossing the workers around very loudly for all the customers to hear & is not kind to customers. Seems very unhappy. She had friends that were sitting at the counter she was talking to, but was rude to the other customers. I work in the service industry and it's very simple to just treat people with kindness and still have the same result, she made the space feel unwelcome compared to all the other previous times I've been here! read more

Good sandwiches and beer is always good but almost always has customers that are far too drunk. Tonight a drunk man through a fit when the workers tried to change the channel to a padres game, which forced 80% of the customers to go outside and watch the game so they could stay inside and very loudly watch the basketball game. Talk about vibe killer And then we proceeded to watch this man stumble to his car and proceed to drive drunk. read more

Service was amazing- super friendly and informative! Ambiance was nice, it has that fresh new feel. I used to LOVE the Baja wrap - I don't know if my taste buds altered, or the recipe is different, but it's just not my jam anymore (not just at this location). I wanted to knock off a star because the wrap wasn't wrapped properly and it fell apart as I was eating it- but I think it was just a fluke. Next time I'm going to try something different and I'll update my review :) read more

Just as good as the other locations, but this one is next to a Trader Joe's so that's gotta give it more points. Remember to ask for extra orange sauce. They'll give you 2 automatically, but you'll want more. read more

The food is so so so delicious. I love to come here after I go surf. The customer service is a 10 out of 10 so dank.

Great food and service!!! I came in on their first day open!! Such a great vibe, great food, great beer! Can't wait to make this my regular lunch spot! read more

Board & Brew - Encinitas - Jordan, Regional Manager for Encinitas! - Sandwiches Near Me - Encinitas, California

I've eaten at this location many times great place with friendly staff and delicious sandwiches. The only thing I didn't like was the last time I ate here, I selected avocado to be added to my sandwich and the avocado was over ripe, brown and tasted gross. I wouldn't mind being told there's no avocado, then being served that. It ruined the sandwich, because it's mashed up and spread onto the bread, so I couldn't easily take it off. read more

Thank you for supporting the LCC football program! Your sandwiches are delicious and the staff is great and very helpful! So glad we have a Board and Brew in Encinitas!! read more

I can't get over how delicious the sandwiches are here! They have a pretty wide variety of options and everything is made fresh. The staff is all extremely friendly, and the atmosphere is super laid back and inviting. This is a great place to bring a date, have a casual meeting, or grab a quick bite to go. Don't forget to ask for some of the special sauce to go with your sandwich! read more

Great staff and management. Love the beer menu too. Prices are spot on. Should be on the 101

See all

This location rocks. The service is excellent. The sandwich are the bomb. This location is so clean the air flow is amazing. My hubby and I make this spot our go-to in the summer especially as a nice break from the heat for some good air flow and great sandwiches. I hope this place continues to thrive. read more

Great sandwiches and don't forget to get extra sauce it's delicious. They have indoor outdoor seating and a bar to grab a beer with your sandwich. The crew were all friendly and helpful. read more

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

This is a great place to order when you have a group coming. They have packs of sandwiches we have ordered for get togethers and everyone loves it and it comes with their delicious sauce. read more

Came in and was torn between a cobb salad and the pastrami. The cashier suggested the cobb salad since it was a warm day, and recommended the ranch, extra cucumber, and extra croutons. Then she suggested if I do the pastrami I've got to have an ice cold beer to cool down the hot pastrami. I said good call, I'll do the cobb just how you're recommending. What a good call! I was impressed with how fresh everything was!! The chicken was actually hot, very juicy and flavorful. The bacon was crispy like chips, which I enjoyed. The extra cucumber was nice and fresh as described. The salad itself was a pretty big size. I came hungry and I'm leaving feeling just right; not too full, but totally satiated, and I'll definitely be back. read more

Cute beachy vibes, good food, I had the Turkado (Turkey Avocado) wrap so tasty. The special little sauce that came on the side was very yummy. Definitely recommend. read more

Board & Brew - Encinitas - Turkado Spinach Wrap - Sandwiches Near Me - Encinitas, California

I've been here multiple times the staff has been so generous in making me feel like home. I've never had to ask for two sauces and I've never had to ask for my beverage to be refreshed. Hillary and Gray especially have been very attentive and have remembered my order my past two visits. read more

Mediocre at best. Small amounts of meat. No flavor. No wonder they have a "special sauce." The turkey doesn't have any flavor. Cheap bacon on the club. The bread is undercooked and tastes like rubber. Homeless right on the front patio for the hour we were there. Wtf...get your shit together. Should have got a refund for $45 for 2 sandwiches. Sucks. read more

Hey! This is Isabel working with Un Mar De Colores, a local organization with the mission to empower underserved youth through coastal access, environmental stewardship, and surf therapy. Jordan and the team have our back every single Wednesday with some pre-cut, individually wrapped, turkey and ham sandos for our O'side Ocean Stewards middle school boys to enjoy after their weekly surf session. They even donate sandwiches, have provided the students some Board and Brew swag, and give us all the special sauce we need to put a smile on all of our faces after hitting the waves (which by the way... is a lot of sauce lol). Jordan and the team at the Encinitas location go above and beyond to give back to their local community with a smile on their faces every time, so if you are looking for a place with great vibes and a friendly, genuine team, definitely stop by this place! read more

We had a really upbeat experience with a very positive cashier and server. Plus, you can't go bad with the Turkado! the outdoor area was a super convenient spot with two crazy babies. read more

Today we went in for a quick lunch. Jordan met us at the register with an engaging smiled and a warm welcome! While I was placing my order people walked up and he greeted these customers by name! Very engaging and just pain nice! I always say that many people take the time to complain about silly things, when we should Be looking for the good that's all around us! I went to ask for the manager so I could praise Jordan, and was told that Jordan is in fact the manager. This store is clean, friendly, and a joy to walk into because of the friendly greetings!! I truly felt like he was greeting old friends! He is an absolute asset to Board and Brew, and I will come back to this store because the management is amazing and he clearly leads by example! Jordan, thank you for being a bright light in a service industry that's usually cold and unfriendly!! Thanks again Jordan for doing a job well done!!! read more

Nice lunch spot! Clean location and pleasant staff! I had a hard time deciding on a sandwich because everything looked so good but one of the employees Joey gave me a good suggestion and was attentive afterwards and made sure I was pleased with everything! read more

Food was very affordable while maintaining exceptional quality. Variety of options to choose from on both the drink and sandwich side. The pairing of brew with the sandwiches really added a great touch. The workers were very friendly and service was great, did not have to wait very long for my food. Would recommend this spot to any of my friends. read more

We waited months for the opening of this location because we loved the Del Mar location back in the day. We got some sandwiches, and they were about as good as a coach class airline sandwich. What am I missing? read more

Best Board and Brew around. Great service, amazing staff. Clean well run location. We've been to a couple of others in the area. Encinitas is hands down the best! read more

First visit. Roast beef dip and BnB ipa were very tasty. Secret sauce was yummy. Bread quality great. Service was great. I love the layout and size and skate decor. Lighting left something to be desired. I'll be back though read more

Eat here more often than I'd like you to admit. The happy hour is fantastic and the quality of everything is great. They bake their bread in poway and deliver it to this location daily. Erick is always so attentive and provides such incredible service. Favorite sandwich in north county! They also have huge TVs so a great place to watch football. read more

Absolutely outstanding service received from Daisy, Daisy could tell it was our first time visiting Board and brew and gave both me and my partner a quick run down of their most popular sandwiches, hot sandwiches and cold sandwiches. Her customer service skills were excellent and made our first time feel very welcomed. We will definitely be returning! read more

Board & Brew - Encinitas - Chicken Club Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Encinitas, California

This one was completely earned by your company. I ordered online for pickup. I get there and wait a good 16 minutes past my pickup time. It was pretty busy, so I waited patiently thinking, ok, they are behind a bit. I finally ask, and they tell me there was a problem with my order. My first thought was, so was anyone EVER going to tell me. Could I have sat here for hours waiting???? So I said, I've already been sitting here 16 minutes past pickup time, was anyone going to inform us? They claimed they called my wife's number. I called her 2x while I was waiting and she immediately pickup up.......then they get the order wrong,.....so let me spell out this crappy experience for you. 1. They were out of jack cheese (Manager, you clearly need a lesson in ordering food for the week.) 2. They claimed they called, but my wife didn't receive a call. So are their staff a bunch of liars???? 3. They gave my wife the wrong salad dressing for her salad. 4. My sandwich was made poorly. To the manager of the store, maybe I can offer you a little lesson in serving your customers. First, someone should have stayed on top of our order. Absolutely no way they do nothing. Second, if they actually had called, leave a message to call you back. And on top of that, take a bag, attach the receipt to it, with a note saying to ask for help at the counter, and place it on the pickup shelf. This way, as a customer, if I'm waiting PATIENTLY, I will know what to do. Worst of all, no one offered me anything for my trouble. Listen, there are other good sandwhich shops out there, and you just lost my business. We used to go to the Del Mar site, and were excited you had come much closer to Encinitas. However, with this kind of service,....you really should be embarrassed. JBaker read more

Wonderful place! Love the food and selection. We get it at work all the time. The best!

Board and Brew in Encinitas is a must-visit spot for anyone who loves yummy Sandwiches and Beer. (My favorite is the Baja Wrap with their gluten free wrap option) Also, they always have either a Hard Kombucha or Seltzer on rotation for those who prefer Gluten Free options :) I've been a long-time B&B fan and follower but this location is now my go-to spot! (Sorry Bressi Ranch). Jordan, Daisy and the rest of the team truly sets the place apart--they're friendly, attentive, and make you feel right at home from the moment you step in. With a laid-back, beachy vibe and fantastic energy, it's the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a meal and drink and with friends and family. Their customer service is top-notch, consistently making sure you have everything you need. Whether you're grabbing one of their fresh, tasty sandwiches or just hanging out and watching a game, Board and Brew delivers an all-around exceptional experience. read more

The worst Italian sandwich I've ever had. No seasoning and flavorless meats that did not taste freshly sliced. Better than Subway, worse than Jersey Mike's. read more

One of my favorite chains. The manager at this location is super nice and remembers us every time we go. The sandwiches are on point.

What a disappointment. This is for a take out order. I got the Turkey Club sandwich with potato salad on the side and a chocolate chip cookie. A sandwich is only as good as the bread and this was really bad bread. A french roll is supposed to be a little crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. This was just white bread, and it was cold. Cold bread? The turkey was turkey roll, not real turkey and Boar's Head tastes much better. This was salty and did not taste like turkey. How do you ruin bacon? This bacon tasted like a salt lick, with zero bacon taste. The lettuce was good. That's the only positive thing I can say about this sandwich. I would say another positive is that the sandwich is pretty big, but that only meant having to eat more of it. The Potato Salad wasn't bad but to be honest VONs tastes better. I haven't tried the small cookie yet, I should eat it now to get the bad taste out of my mouth. I noticed most of the positive reviews are from folks dining in. Maybe the best way to eat the food is after you're drunk? read more

Atrocious service at this location tipped three bucks on a to go order for one sandwich and a quesadilla Asked them to let me know when it was ready, girl w short hair bull nose plug has attitude. Just letting it sit. Would not bring it out to me or let me know when it was ready. Avoid read more

A family favorite! The sandwiches are delicious and fresh, the service is good and we are enjoying the new Encinitas location, so happy they're finally open !!! read more

Excellent food, service, Value. They earned their five star rating. Great menu. Even if you're picky eater

Nicest staff you could imagine! Patio not yet open, but once it is it'll be our new favorite spot.

We ordered the Turkado and Baja Chicken which were both awesome! I LOVE that they are now in Encinitas!
