As someone raised on authentic Italian cooking, I have a deep appreciation for quality--and Board & Brew in Huntington Beach delivers beautifully. The bread is fresh, the ingredients are thoughtfully selected, and every sandwich is crafted with care and balance. Beyond the food, the staff are genuinely warm and welcoming, creating an easy, inviting atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can pick up something exceptional and take it down to the beach or a nearby park--simple, elevated, and effortlessly enjoyable! read more

After countless let downs on this place, I don't think I see myself coming back to this Board and Brew in Huntington :(. They seriously don't know how to wrap a wrap properly. My wrap is ALWAYS falling apart after 1 bite. The Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap is always inconsistent. Some days it is overloaded with parmesan cheese, and other days there's barely any. The same goes for the chicken and cucumbers. It feels like you never know what you're going to get. I always ask for croutons to be added to my wrap, and today the croutons were ROCK stale it hurt my tooth! :-( What the heck guys! Plus, the wrap completely fell apart immediately. I'm so over giving this location too many chances. They are incredibly inconsistent. read more

Board & Brew - Beer Bar Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

This review covers my experience across multiple locations, including Harbor Boulevard in Costa Mesa 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. read more

*5 HUGE STARS for excellent in-house 16 oz draft honey-blonde beers for just $3! An IPA is just $4! *A good astrami sandwich - 4 Stars *Sandwich prices are fair - 4 Stars *My only suggestion is to offer a roast beef submarine sandwich with provolone cheese. read more

Board and Brew is an awesome place to get tasty sandwiches and great beer! The HB store has a nice sandwich shop vibe with indoor and outdoor seating along with a bar counter. Our favorite sandwiches are the Tub O Tuna and Tom's Choice. They carry great beers from a bunch of great microbreweries. We have gone in to just stop by for beers - which a lot of folks do. The folks who work here are always very friendly and helpful and make great suggestions if you need help picking a beer. This is definitely one of our favorite places for sandwiches and beer! read more

I had to update my review to 4/5 because as a tuna fan who has had quite a few in my day..... across a ton of different places. This one was far too sweet and ordered as a tuna melt... where call me crazy but the cheese should be melted? It was not melted. It was just not a normal tuna salad at all. It was paste, no dimension.. Sweet relish is a huge L for me personally and the whole sandwich had a sweet flavor due to it, if it were a normal amount I could take it but it was overpowering.. literally didn't even taste like tuna. So bland and just sweet relish taste. Also no crunch at all from any onion or celery.. did ask for a side of yellow mustard and did not get one. read more

Board & Brew - USA vs Bolivia game and the bar - Beer Bar Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

It's the sauce.. too good. Definitely coming back for lunch. I had the chicken club and WOW

Very solid Italian sub. I enjoyed the Italian vinaigrette that they use a lot. The sandwich had a little too much lettuce for my liking but everything else was great! I liked how they loaded it with pepperoncinis and the meats tasted high quality. The service was regular. Not super friendly but also not bad. I liked that they have patio seating where you can take your dog if you want and a bar area for beers. read more

Did an order for a doctor. All the sandwiches were 5*. Ready on time. They loved it. I love this place. Best Veggie Sandwich ever. My first choice. read more

This location of B&B is the closest to my home, but the Cypress location is closest to my work. I came to the HB location today to see if I'd have a better experience, like my first. Happy to say the sandwich had more meat than the last disappointing picture I posted prior, but Cypress' sandwich is CONSISTENTLY on point. I do need to commend the employee who helped me. He was very pleasant and friendly. read more

Board & Brew - The CALIFORNIA DELIGHT with added crispy bacon And the staff are amazing too. Very enjoyable experience - Beer Bar Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

The food is AMAZING! You can't go wrong with any of their sandwiches, but my favorite is definitely the Turkado! I love pairing their caesar dressing with my sandwich. It is SO good! The seating inside is pretty good & the staff is amazing! Highly recommend! read more

Sandwiches are great and service is quick! Try the Tub of Tuna, it's tasty. I usually call in my take out order and it's ready in 10 minutes. read more

Best gluten free wraps ever! I avoided this place for years thinking as a "sandwich shop" they wouldn't be able to accommodate my celiac diet. So bummed that it took me this long to walk inside! I've been twice this month already. One of my new quick-bite go-tos. read more

we had the sweetest lady taking our order. she was so kind. I'd never been there before and she told me all about the popular items and their famous sauce. the sandwich was yummy! paired beautifully with a bag of kettle chips. the sauce wasn't my favorite thing ever but I can see how it adds. restaurant looks a bit plain and fast food-esque. but those sandwiches and kettle chips on a beach? yeahhhhh read more

Board & Brew - Chicken Club - Beer Bar Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Very good! The one thing that I always judge on sandwich places is the bread, if the bread is excellent, everything will be that much enjoyable. I got the chicken club and did not disappoint. Perfect amount of flavor and goodness. The location look clean, and the staff was friendly. I would definitely come back and try a different sandwich. However, the chicken club was excellent! read more

This location seems to think the caesar wrap should come with tomato and cucumber and no croutons, definitley not what's described on the menu. also very little chicken in the wraps. will stick to other locations. read more

I always love a good sandwich, but board and brews is next level good. I usually get the turkey deluxe which is my go to. I've been to a few other locations as well, but this one is special. The past few times I have visited, I am always greeted by the sweetest lady named TJ. She doesn't just treat you like a customer, but she treats you kind of like a close friend. It's her service and kindness that makes this location stand out from the rest. I can't wait to come back soon. read more

I ordered the veggie supreme sandwich minus the mayo & cheese. The sandwich was good, with good flavor. Unfortunately I don't think the bread was fresh. It broke apart every which way immediately, which made it extra messy. Overall it's good, but fresh bread is important. read more

I only had their sandwiches through door dash a few times and so far it has not disappointed! It's my favorite sandwich place so far in HB. They are not stingy at all when it comes to their avocados! I can't wait to go to the actual location to try their secret menu, since it's not offered on DoorDash. Their secret sauce pairs really well with their turkado. I like to pour their house sauce over the overflow of veggies that falls off the sandwich. Their tuna is really fresh and not drowned in mayo. read more

Nice staff, indoor and outdoor tables. Busy for a Saturday afternoon with multiple TV's with sports on. Pro: Good selection of various beers from good breweries. Sandwhich sauce is delish. Fresh bread. Con: Would be 5 star if they have fries to go with the sandwhiches. read more

Board & Brew - Turkado with sauce in the side - Beer Bar Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

BURNT KID'S GRILLED CHEESE!! Ordered this for my child, and my kid was soo hungry she still ate some. They hid the burnt bread on the inside and tried to hide the mistake. If you burned it, how hard is it to remake it?!? LAZY, NO INTEGRITY WHO EVER MADE THIS!! This was ordered 9/20/25 @ 1pm. LAZY SANDWICH MAKER!!!! read more

For the third time they have messed up my order. I always request no lettuce, yet every time I order it has heaps of lettuce on it. Other than that, the staff is friendly and the environment is great to watch games at or just hang out. Just don't expect them to get your order right. read more

I love the prices on beer during happy hour cant beat it... starting at 3 dollars! I love thier fresh soups and sandwiches too.

Holy frijoles! The sandwiches are gigantic-mantic! - turkado (added scoop of Tuna, that's my odd thing) 5/5 Let's just say it's hard to get your mouth open enough to take a solid bite. Both my boyfriend and I made a mess while eating. Then again I'm sure you guys have heard the famous saying, if it doesn't get all over the place it doesn't belong in your face! read more

They have such a good veggie sandwich! Add pickles and don't skip the special sauce. Only problem is I can't finish the whole thing, I wish they did half portions. read more

They have gotten my to-go orders wrong so many times that I just won't be able to go to this location anymore. Very disappointing.

The BEST sandwiches that give you all the surfer beachy summer vibes. Since high school I've been eating this for lunch, and it has only gotten better which is crazy!!! The ingredients are all fresh and sustainably sourced and all that healthy foo foo word jargon which is great for us. The menu stays the same but the beer changes. Just check my photo out of their IPA that's now in can form and has a dope shark on it, I need that art in print for my office! I would like it shipped to my house very month please. They have great veggie sandwich options and even have salads. The beer on tap to go with your sandwich makes it the best above the rest. We usually grab these sandwiches to go and eat on the beach or just take home. I've never had a bad sandwich here, always delicious and satisfying. Tip: Ask for the secret sauce!!!! Sometimes it's not in the bag so always double check or else you'll be sad Food: We all have our preferences but these are my favorites after ten+ years of eating at this place - Baja Chicken - so refreshing with a little spice from the jalapeños, goes very well with drizzling secret sauce on top for every bite - Roast Beef Spicy - omfg I eat this like a monster it's so juicy and messy, it's a steaming hot roast beef sandwich that you drown in Au Jus, make sure to get the horseradish or whatever the white stuff is for extra kick if you dare read more

Board & Brew - Local IPA - The art on this can is a must have! Who doesn't love sharks?! - Beer Bar Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

LOVE this place! We probably eat here twice a month at the minimum. I usually get a toasted Turkado or Veggie Delight but they surprisingly have my FAVORITE Chicken Caesar salad also. I wish SO badly that they had a 1/2 sandwich + 1/2 salad lunch special because I always struggle to make a decision between the two All of the staff is great but special shoutout to the lovely lady whom I thinks name is TJ ? She is so friendly and remembers details of my order. I always appreciate the way she goes above and beyond. Happy to have this gem so close to home read more

I would give this place a 5 star as their food is awesome. Though it's environment when it comes to parking is uncontrollable due to dealing with SoCal Edison taking up parking spaces and barricade cars in around lunch time. It's frustrating, and hope it gets resolved as this place and its loyal customers shouldn't have to deal with this behavior. read more

I really like this location for their beer selection. Usually I try to get a spot at the bar at lunchtime. Sandwiches are great just like all other locations, but sometimes this one has a beer I haven't tried before. read more

Board and Brew is an AWESOME sandwich shop. I live in Vegas now, so I really miss it. The Baja Beef with a side of the red sauce is literally the best sandwich I have ever had in my life, and I'm 66 years old. It's my go-to. All of their other sandwiches are unbelievable as well. Can't wait to get back there next time I am in Orange County. read more

I couldn't decide , Board and Brew or Que Vidas Tacos.. I had my lil mini poodle Boo Boo w/ Me.. Went to Board and Brew sat in patio .....waited and then called the restaurant for them to bring me a menu..he brought out the menu and said I could've walked in to get the menu .. ok... so then I asked him will he come back for my order and he said walk in and give my order ... so I went to Que Vidas Tacos and they took my order and I never had to leave my table on this beautiful day !! BTW ... the best tacos I ever had and the most refreshing margarita !! Happy Taco Tuesday Y'all read more

I love this place. It's a laid back atmosphere with a small seating area inside that includes a bar and an outside patio area. The service and food are always great. I usually get the veggie supreme and grab a beer from the bar! They have great sandwiches and their secret sauce is top notch. I think they actually sell it now. Check it out if you are in the area . read more

Board & Brew - Veggie delight with light sprouts - Beer Bar Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Great food, good customer service. I tried Baja Chicken and soup and it was delicious. I recommend to everyone. I will Come back again. read more

Disappointed. I am a longtime loyal patron of Board & Brew. Ordered a Cobb salad to be delivered because I cannot leave my office. I have had this salad many times (at this location) and was expecting the same quality. It is not! The lettuce and cucumber are old! Brown lettuce almost grey cucumber the cheese looks, feels and tastes like it has been sitting on this lettuce for way too long. To be fair, the bacon, chicken and egg are fine. It appears the lettuce, cucumber and cheese were all prepared ahead and the bacon, egg and chicken added. Fine except, I'm one of those people who actually gets salad for the greens and this is not what I expect from one of my favorite places to eat. And, since there is no place to report my experience on the B&B website I am posting it here. Lesson learned. No ordering B&B for delivery. And I'm still hungry. read more

these are some of my favorite sandwiches, the pastrami and the California delight. I wish they didn't use onion sprouts because I don't like onions, but I love sprouts. The staff is friendly when I order it by DoorDash it's always hot and I can never decide between the two sandwiches so I order both and eat half of each. read more
