Solid sandy and don't forget about their brew. 3.00 dollar June, too bad it was a little early for me. Spice Roast beef is a winner, a tad underseasoned but still hit the spot. My girls had the Baja chicken and it looked great. Add dirty chips, it's a complete meal. read more

So, I hate to say it, but I wasn't that impressed. I was looking forward to trying the sandwiches here, and pair it with a nice cold IPA, which I did I will say, the branded IPA is really good. Crisp, not too hoppy, but loaded with flavor. I went with the Baja beef sandwich, strips of beef, onions, and jalapeños, griddle together, and then top with cheese, loaded into a French roll. On the surface looked good, but perhaps I was needing to try one of the cold sandwiches, which I will do next time. Like I said, it wasn't bad, but maybe my expectations were a little too high, I do resolve to try this place again, next time going with one of the turkey options, they had plenty. in the meantime, I enjoyed half the sandwich, I'll bring home the rest and maybe Inc. into an egg breakfast tomorrow.. I did enjoy the vibe, the ambience, staff was courteous and nice, the place was clean. I look forward to coming back. read more

Always clean, always fast, always made perfect. I grew up going to the Carlsbad and Encinitas locations so I was glad to find one down here

Second time I've been here this trip to San Diego. The Baja beef sandwich is a huge winner. Sliced beef and onions with fried jalapeños It's a fast food style restaurant walk up and order the people they work there are always nice and polite and good at their jobs. Thanks There is a bar you can sit at and tables and outside there are more tables with umbrellas so there's always enough seats. read more

I'm a sucker for Board & Brew sandwiches! I had never been to this location before though. Walking in your greeted with smiles and good vibes. Place was immaculately clean and has plenty of seating inside and out. Craft beer on tap and in cans and Sodas for everyone else. The decor inside definitely gives off that beach vibe which for some reason seems to make order a sandwich all that much better haha. I got the Tom's Choice which has slow-roasted beef, turkey breast, cheddar cheese, with toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion, and their signature Sweet-Sour Dressing on a toasted French baguette. I absolutely demolished this monster of a sandwich!! My girlfriend got the Tub O Tuna Sandwich which has albacore tuna salad, Jack cheese, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and onion on sweet wheat bread. She's a light eater so she only ate half of this massive sandwich! If she doesn't like any part of something she won't eat it so I can vouch that she really enjoyed it!! Tip: I like the Board & Brew secret sauce you're welcome. It's a zesty, creamy, and tangy blend of ingredients similar to a French or Thousand Island dressing and I promise you won't be disappointed! See you soon Board & Brew Santee read more

I love board and brew!!! We go often, I live their food. It's ALWAYS fresh, staff is always great, the beer is cheap and good!! (Huge draw ) love people watching the local crew that hangs out seems daily. Go and try anything and I swear it will be great!! I do wish they build out larger, or move locations. It's such a popular place it's hard to get a table sometimes, and loved when they did the live music. Only real place in Santee and from someone who absolutely loves to go watch, live music, have dinner and a few drinks with people I just wish the location was larger. *I do want to note, because they are off the riverbed, and critters are around and food drips through possibly, the tables and ground get grimy, and really need to be power washed regularly under them. But the place is super clean over all. read more

Get the turkado! It's sooo good. They really do a turkey sandwich better than anyone. The avocado is absolutely perfect. You can tell that everything here is super fresh, and the workers at this location are always really friendly, making for a really pleasant ambiance. It's a great place to grab a beer and a sandwich! read more

Chicken club sandwich was flavorful and bread was fresh . Not sure what the orange sauce in the side was but it was very good . Came here around 1 pm my sandwich was ready in less than five minutes. The girl at the counter was alittle rude but other than that it was a great experience . Seems like a place locals like to hangout and have a beer it was busy on a Tuesday read more

Board & Brew is such a great place to grab a classic sub sandwich in SD! The best part is their specialty orange sauce - I have literally no idea what is in this stuff, but it brings your sandwich to the next level. The girl at the register was so nice and went the extra mile for us! She let us know all the fun changes and additions you can make to your sandwich. My favorite here is the California Delight, my friends tried the Turkey Club and Turkado sandwiches and they were super yummy as well. read more

I don't know if I get the hype. The dressing that came with my sandwich was weird, my turkey sandwich meat to bread ratio was off - there was pretty much 2 slices of turkey and the bread was thick (almost as if it wasn't fresh) for the price point, I was a little confused. The party I came with had the French dip sandwich and the turkey sandwiches and they said it was just ok. Am I missing something here? read more

Never disappoints!! Italian was perfect! Pastrami excellent! Service was excellent and I always love the vibe inside!

Excellent sandwiches, you could split one if you both agree on which sandwich to order! Great quality meats and the bread is delicious and fresh. Highly recommend. Great service and outdoor patio. read more

Wish I could leave a better review... food is meh but they messed up 2 things on my order that I placed online (incorrect bread and completely forgot to add something to my order). We even asked before we left if they saw the note about the bread choice and added it, they said yes. Didn't notice until we got home. I tried to call to let them know, no answer in the middle of the afternoon on a Friday. Seems like incorrect orders are common here based on other reviews. I'll stick to Jersey Mike's & Earl of sandwich. Food is better and they've never screwed up my order. read more

Stopped in an hour before closing. Ordered a Baja Chicken and a Board and Brew IPA while I waited. Beer was good, can't complain about a $6 pint! Sandwich was made quick. Quite a large sandwich! Only complaint is the amount of chicken. It's called the Baja Chicken, not the Baja Lettuce. That being said, it was a good sandwich and I will absolutely try this place again in the near future. read more

I went here on Saturday. 4/18. I ordered on line went to pick up@12:17. I ordered 3 sandwiches and only rec 2. I went back in line and waited for the 3 sandwiches. Got home and I received 2 of the same sandwich. I was not willing to go back a 3 time. Not a customer any longer. Get you act together to handle customer orders read more

I have never had a bad experience when I have come here to buy food. The employees are always so nice and welcoming. They always give great recommendations and they always answer your questions when you don't know what something means. Everything on their menu from sandwiches, to wraps, potato salad are absolutely delicious! Their Turkado is one of my favorites and you can ask for it melted or just toasted! The sandwich is big enough to share or even save for lunch for the next day. The place is always clean and there is always plenty of seating inside or outside. They also have plenty of parking so you won't ever have to struggle to find parking which is a plus. read more

Recently tried the Baja Beef which is a very good sandwich but whoever prepared this most recent one from last night should have done better at making sure there are no chunks of unpalatable fat in the sandwich. Both halves of the sandwich had at least one piece of fat inside. No bueno. read more

Second time here in two days and I have to say I love this place. People are friendly, the ambiance is what you'd expect from a sandwich shop but the food is outstanding. Best pastrami I've had in a long time. It's rare you find a place that has thick slices perfectly fried so kudos to the kitchen. I have yet to try their beer on tap but I will. Great place than can get busy at the usual times. Indoor and outdoor seating which is nice. read more

Board & Brew is the perfect spot if you love great sandwiches -- hot or cold -- and a good local beer to go with them. The ingredients are always fresh, and the flavors never disappoint. If you're gluten-free, they've got you covered with spinach wraps and the option to make most sandwiches into a salad. We personally love the Tub-O-Tuna as a salad -- you can never go wrong with that choice! It's a friendly, laid-back neighborhood spot with consistently good food and great vibes. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the Santee area! read more

I haven't been to Board & Brew in awhile, so out of hunger I came here. I wasn't sure what to get so I had the cashier pick out my lunch. I was about the third person in line and the line got even longer once I was done ordering. I was lucky enough to get a seat by the window. The sun was out and it was nice. The food came out faster than I expected. So that was nice. The bread was perfect and the chicken was marinated with just the right amount of sauce and flavor. I was definitely surprised by how much I end up liking my sandwich and the whole quick experience. The inside is your typical causal or fast food type. There were more two seater tables than four. I think they only had two. The place is clean and that's always an added plus. The beers were enticing but I had too many errands to run to enjoy a beer. But definitely next time. Definitely a great spot to grab a sandwich and a drink. I really do like that there's counter top seating, so if you're ever here by yourself, you won't need to feel bad taking up a table. Will definitely return. read more

Board & Brew's chicken caesar salad is a DoorDash staple between my roommates and I! We can all agree that it's one of the best Caesar salads we've had. We were surprised since board & brew is known for their sandwiches but we gave the salad a go and it has never disappointed. Portion of the salad for the price is a steal! It comes with grilled chicken, house made croutons, and fresh Parmesan. We also really enjoy the Caesar dressing because it's very light and creamy. I've also tried their Baja wrap. It's a delicious option if you're interested in eating someone on the healthier side read more

staff is nice. But I can always count on this location for a wrongly fulfilled order. Every single time I order online, the "notes" are ignored. I don't think they read them because mine is always incorrect in some way or missing something. Recently I picked up an online order made with a hard end piece. I always want to keep giving this location a try, but consistently disappointing here after being used to the standard at other locations. read more

Food took over 35 min to get. Three cold half sandwiches. Not crowded. People came in after me got their food before me. The excuse given was "I think he thought they already made the sandwiches". I've never waited so long so not really sure what's happening. Extremely disappointing. read more

First time at the santee location and was excited to have a closer board and brew location!! Long time fan of the Cobb salad, with the spicy ranch you can never go wrong and this time was no exception :) we also tried the turkey club and it was delicious, good meat to bread ratio! The service was great as the gentleman taking our order gave us plenty of time to look over the menu, pleased to see they have a bar at this location and plenty of drink specials! read more

My sister and I went to get ourselves sandwiches from this place (we are Black individuals). We've been going here often and have not had any problems until today. We entered to ONLY order the Tub O' Tuna sandwich. As we entered, there was a white guy with blonde hair (tall and a bit tanned, looks to be around 17-20 years old) at the cashier. The first red flag was that he didn't even acknowledge us. He didn't greet us or look our way. He was helping a lady with the card reader (I guess her card was declining or something). We waited about a minute, and when he was done helping her and the lady left, we thought, "Okay, he's going to take our order now." But he continued to completely ignore us, catering to a couple of men at the bar. And by catering, I mean he was quite literally chatting and LAUGHING with them! It was as if we weren't waiting for him to take our order. My sister gave him the benefit of the doubt, but at this point, I was slowly getting upset. After waiting for 7 minutes (yes, 7 minutes, even though the guy was helping NOBODY), a woman came to finally take our order. She had been cleaning the doors when we walked in. I ordered the sub and then waited for our order, which she said would take 3-5 minutes. I was telling my sister about the blonde guy and how he was treating us. As we were standing by the drinks machine, the blonde guy walked over and picked up the tea dispenser to change it, still completely ignoring us. That was when I gave him a look of disbelief and annoyance. Then, the most unbelievable thing happened, which made me believe this was 100% RACISM. A white group of girls entered, and he quickly looked over, heading their way IMMEDIATELY with a smile on his face to assist them! I couldn't help but look at my sister in disbelief, as she was feeling the same way. This racist white guy immediately assisted these white girls and didn't even give my sister and me the same treatment. My sister told me to ask the woman who took our order for his name, and I was thinking of doing so to report him. After helping the group of white girls, he disappeared into the back. Not long after, the woman came out with our food. I ended up not asking for his name, and that's something I regret. I was feeling so many emotions at that time that it totally slipped past me as I struggled to understand the situation we were in. The woman who handed me the food was even looking at me, knowing something was wrong. We left the place, and we were both furious at this dude and how he treated us. He completely ruined my mood and whole night. That is blatant RACISM. FYI: The woman he was working with that night her name is Emily G. We came to the establishment around 7 pm. His behavior is ridiculous and disgusting. DO BETTER! read more

Called in an order, asked for two subs one tuna, one Italian, both toasted. They were not toasted. Ingredients were OK. asked for tomatoes and onions on the side got no tomatoes and still had onions in my sandwich. The tuna sandwich had ONE slice of tomato. This spot is definitely mediocre at best very disappointing cause I did hear some good stuff about it and was very excited since it WAS MY FIRST TIME coming here. thumbs down just care more about what you put out. read more

We come here often because the sandwiches are great. The service is not. The atmosphere is crowded and loud. Today we ordered 6 sandwiches to go instead of eating in. We had to wait a full 20 minutes. Meanwhile I watched as every other person that walked in AFTER us was given their food. When we were finally called the girl said thanks for waiting. I told her it was too long a wait. She replied that they served all the people ordering 1-2 sandwiches first. I saw at least 2 sets of 4 also get served, not counting pick up orders The 1 and 2 sandwiches I counted at 16. There was no apology. Although I like their sandwiches, I will not support a rude establishment. read more

Came here before running some errands in the area. First time at this location. It is very small inside. There are 2 4 too tables, 4 2 top tables and bar seating. They have outdoor seating that is partially shaded by the building and umbrellas but when it is 90+ degrees I am not sitting outside. I ordered the turkey club and my husband got the Italian sub. My sandwich was ok. I have only ever had the California delight and compared to that sandwich this was a disappointment and I am not sure if it ja due to the sandwich or the location it had a lot of lettuce, the bread was very fluffy and ai felt it did not have a lot if meat on jt. It was food but not great. Staff were friendly. The person at the front gave us time to order as we were indecisive and checked in on us. We got in before it got busy so we got seating and didn't have to wait in a long line. We asked for a water cup and got a full size cup. Overall a decent experience and I would come by if in the area again. read more

I wouldn't be surprised if Madison owns her own Board & Brew franchise in the not-so-distant future. She is killing it in the Santee Board & Brew. She's got it all working. She's smart, hard-working, personable, down to earth and very pretty too. My only complaint about B&B is that it needs a bigger bar. It is my understanding that they wanted to expand the bar area, but the Santee city leaders in all their wisdom put the kibosh on it. Excellent beer selection, always a seltzer too. Great happy hour prices. Excellent sandwiches and don't sleep on the potato salad! read more

I checked out the menu on their website before I went and their Baja Beef sandwich sounded good. When I got there I asked the counter guy if that was their only sandwich using "USDA Prime Beef" and he confirmed that so that was my order. Man, was that beef prepared badly! First bite was all gristle. All the beef was chopped very small and way overcooked and not detectably seasoned. The baguette was good and chewy, the jalapeno slices were fresh, and the melted cheese was ok. It was a good sized sandwich. Their named IPA was quite good. read more

I wish I had more stars to give them. I think 3.5 stars is more fair. I've waited to write this review after double digit visits. I have ordered to go and dined in on multiple occasions (more than 20 times). Pros : -easy online ordering for pickup and food is ready when they say it will be -decent food -big outdoor patio area for eating -pretty consistent in their food quality Cons : -Staff is not customer service oriented. I'm not sure if they don't know how to interact with people or multitask, but don't expect any hospitality here. -More than ten times I've entered and waited under the pickup line and had 2-3 staff people look at me but never acknowledge me with either a "hi we will be right with you" or a "can I help you?" Just eye contact and silence. I often have to speak first to request my order. -one out of every three orders of mine they get wrong -charging $2 for a gluten free wrap is robbery, charging $.50 for pickles is also ridiculous. -their secret sauce is not good and no matter what they give it to you (maybe if they gave out less unwanted secret sauce their pickles could be free). -Mostly I get lettuce sandwiches. See picture below. Above all, their staff need extensive customer service training. It's absurd that they don't welcome every guest that comes through the door. read more
