    California Delight (no sprouts) sandwich

    Board & Brew totally came through today Ordered the California Delight (no sprouts) and it was SO good -- fresh, flavorful, perfectly balanced, and honestly just one of those sandwiches that hits every time. What really stood out though was the customer service. I accidentally placed my order for the wrong time (classic me ), and the staff was incredibly accommodating and fixed it without any hassle. Super appreciated how kind and easy they were about it. Great food + genuinely helpful people = exactly why I keep coming back.

    Vegetarian sandwich

    First of all: called in a to go order. Was asked if I could PLEASE hold and reassured it would be quick, AND they waited for a response!! Didn't just say hold and put you on hold!! IVAN exemplifies SUPERIOR customer service - he is: polite and attentive always, every time I've been! Bravo! Secondly - order correct and ready when I arrived! Third Great sandwich! Thank you for a vegetarian option that isn't wimpy! Yes they have great sandwiches and salads with meat - but the vegetarian sandwich is great! Thank you IVAN and thank you Board & Brew!!

    Slowly but surely Ladera Ranch continues to add an assortment of different eateries to cater to all tastebuds and that is no different with the popular franchise - Board & Brew. The ambience is something akin to a local surf shop as open air with music playing and business is bustling. It's the kind of place you can grab a bite for lunch in the outdoor area and also an adult beverage while enjoying the weather. The service is solid if not spectacular. As for the food well it's sandwiches galore and for this venture felt more of the semi-health variety and went for the tuna sandwich. This is an establishment that does not skimpy on the fillings nor do they take shortcuts on the quality. The sandwich contained fresh ingredients and was well put together. And as always when you add their special sauce to anything it always elevates whatever it is placed on top of.

    We stopped in yesterday for the first time and we will definitely be back when we are in the area . The service was so good , the guys working yesterday are amazing . Both the sandwiches we tried were excellent. The bread they use tastes fresh baked . I got the California delight minus mayo and it's insanely good ( turkey sprouts cream cheese & sunflower seeds) My wife got the Turkado. There is a beer bar with a big screen and it's situated between the interior & open air patio. Good service, food & music , this is a great lunch spot !

But they also have wine for the non-beer drinkers. We love their pizza, but be sure to check all ingredients. They do a hot honey drizzle on several of their specialty pizzas. If you don't want that, you can request it on the side. But they have other options besides pizza, so something for everyone. We also love their Caesar salad....and one is enough for two people to share, especially if you're splitting a pizza. We enjoy sitting on the patio. They are also very accommodating on special requests....we often get a "partially cooked", uncut pizza to take home so we can finish it on the grill (or oven) and have a hot pizza versus a takeout pizza that is cold by the time you get it home.

They were sitting at the bar and the first thing I noticed was how clean and organized it was. Theres an outdoor seating area, plenty of space to sit inside without it feeling cluttered, and a perfect sized bar for one bartender to comfortably give good service while still handling waitstaff orders. Theres a beautiful wood-fired oven for pizzas. We just had a beer and the filet fries which were so good that I forgot to take a picture. Heather our bartender is one of a kind! Shes knowledgeable, not afraid to give excellent recommendations, and shes super personable! I'm sure the bar gets full of regulars just to visit with her cause she's that great!

    Finally, Ladera gets a great Mexican restaurant! Hands down the best Happy Hour in town…read more Taco Tuesday Specials run all day with $3 crispy tacos (chix, shredded or ground beef, potato) which are a deal as they're full size and not mini like other places sell at HH. $5 Ensenada Tacos (battered fish or shrimp), are amazing.

Service is always on point and if ur lucky, you might see Franco in action. (yes, he's a real person) So glad Franco's Famous opened a location in Ladera. Check out their other locations in Laguna Hills and San Clemente.

They remind me of my time with DeAnn and her local fast food joint that featured both burgers and Mexican dishes. Their flautas are what I compare all flautas to. For only $8 they give you a s-ton of flautas, like 5-6, beans, and rice. It was amazing. The flautas at Franco's are good, but obviously not the same value. I think they nailed the slightly crispy, but still chewy, shell. The beef was tender and juicy inside. And I liked the rice and beans I ordered separately to accompany the flautas. Aside from that, I got to try the chicken version, a bit of the elote, and the chicken quesadilla. They were all fine but I've never been a big appetizers guy. The service was great. They forgot my beans to my beans & rice, but made up for it with a giant pot of it brought to the table. All the drinks and refills were brought to the table quickly. Everyone was just so attentive and courteous. The ambiance obviously was great. This was another outdoor dining area that was suited to a larger party and a bit of evening dining. The place was busy but not overly packed. And lastly the dub was noticeable but not overwhelming. I think I could see myself hanging out here just on a random Tuesday. Overall, this was a great dinner and the flautas made me happy. That's all you can ask from a food joint, even if it made me miss the $8 version with my ex back in the good 'ole days.

He sadly passed away recently and his memorial is this weekend, so we tried to go to Lost Inferno to celebrate him with all his high school and college friends. We called in advance and the person we spoke to said we couldn't make a reservation unless we could guarantee 20 people, but we could walk in with a smaller group no problem. Of course we got there right when they opened and they told us they couldn't seat us for an hour. We joined the wait list and walked to a bar a couple doors down waiting for the text that our table was ready. We received a text that our table would be ready at a specific time and then 2 minutes before our table was supposed to be ready we get a text saying we were removed from the wait list with no clarification or follow up. I understand being busy/booked up, but I would have liked to have received accurate information. We could have made reservations online if we had been told. I wore his favorite Goonies Hawaiian shirt and everything expecting to have a nice time talking about my husband. I guess I'm glad we never had the opportunity to experience this level of service with my husband, and guess I won't be back seeing that he's dead and all. Edited to add tips - don't believe anything they tell you on the phone and if you really want to go, make a reservation, and apparently they will close for you if you can guarantee 20 people.
