Walked inside thinking I was just gonna grab a burger, and next thing I know I'm wandering around looking at all the meats, marinades, sauces, chips, drinks, and sandwiches like I was about to host a backyard BBQ for the whole neighborhood. This place is dangerous if you like to cook. I asked the guy behind the counter what I should order because I wasn't trying to make a bad decision. Without hesitation he said, Aged Burger and the Philly.....Say less. We grabbed those and ordered the fries extra crispy because that's the only way fries should be eaten. Man... everything was hella good. The burger was juicy, the Philly hit the spot, and those extra crispy fries disappeared way faster than I want to admit.... They've got plenty of outdoor seating too, so we just kicked back, ate, and enjoyed the vibe. I already know every time I'm in the area I'm coming here because wise ox is greater than shake shack I'm Js!

    Very friendly service…read more Butcher shop for when you want it fresh for dinner or throw on the grill for the weekend. There is a small menu of sandwiches and a few side items you can grab for the moment, a handful of tables to eat at if you can't wait till you make it home.

Apparently half of Carlsbad had the same idea because this place was hopping in the middle of a workday. My husband will try pretty much anything that sounds different, unusual, or like it might require an explanation. He loved his sandwich. Me? I'm a proud Plain Jane when it comes to sandwiches. I know who I am. Give me a good French dip and leave me alone. This is the third Board & Brew location I've been to, and their French dip honestly never disappoints. The beef was sliced perfectly, tender, juicy, and practically melted in my mouth. Then there's the au jus, which was so good I was seriously contemplating whether drinking it directly from the cup would be socially acceptable. And no, I don't need cheese, onions, peppers, or seventeen other things piled on top. Meat. Bread. Au jus. That's the test. A really good French dip should be able to stand on its own without getting dressed up for prom, and this one absolutely can. Despite how busy they were, the staff kept everyone moving quickly and efficiently without making you feel rushed. Great service, great food, and clearly a popular lunch stop. Now for my one gripe, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the food. The bathrooms are outside and around the back of the building. As a woman, being sent around the back of a building in an industrial area to pee feels a little less "lunch in Carlsbad" and a little more like the opening scene of a Dateline episode. Food? Excellent. Staff? Excellent. French dip? Still undefeated. Highly recommend. Just maybe pee before you go.

It melts in your mouth without the least bit of rubbery texture from being over-steamed. The flavor is delicious, and the rye bread is the best I've ever eaten in my life! Soft on the inside, nice & crusty on the outside . Also, their matzah ball soup is amazing! Everything is served fresh & hot, and our server Karen was so friendly and fun to chat with. Their menu is incredible & makes it hard to choose- if we lived closer we would be here once a week, haha! My husband and I drove all the way from Temecula to come here- Yes, it's that good!!

    I remember decades ago, when Milton's, Del Mar would offer a bread basket to start your meal with…read morecinnamon raisin egg bread, followed by all the great garlic dills you could eat.  Really good pickles, like Bubbies but even better. Now THAT was two reasons to come back. (Anything in the bread basket, like extra buns or bread was ours to keep and take home). Milton's can be Milton's again! I do hope the new owners (by the way there are new owners) get to read this. While I know bread and pickles costs the owners money, think about what they pay for advertising and their $5 off coupons. Instead, give the patrons something for nothing that is absolutely memorable.  Ok. Food wise, the regular corned beef is improved. Even if you forget to order lean, it's lean enough, not totally fatty like it was before. There are lots of menu options. I'm glad they've narrowed the menu down to be less overwhelming. It's my job, in these reviews, to tell our eaters and readers what to order when you go. I always have soup with a half a sandwich. Matzoh Ball Soup. Always good. Corned beef on rye. I grew up in New York. To me, it's just comfort food. I have a friend who regularly orders and loves the turkey plate, with stuffing, cranberry sauce, veggies and more.  Cranberry sauce, coleslaw and other portions are now skimpy. They used to use small white bowls and fill them. I have spent 3 decades creating Foodies Events taking people to breakfast/brunch, lunch & dinners from our groups San Diego Foodies and Carlsbad Foodies, and you've never seen a review like this, correcting the owners. I always promote where I go, telling you only what to order when you go. I am happy to have a Jewish Deli anywhere close by. And I know, if you didn't know how they USED to take care of you, it probably would not make a difference. But for all us 'locals' who raised our kids here, it does make a difference. For some of us, who come in famished (here's a dad joke: not fa-mished), a quick taste of that cinnamon raisin bread quickly puts you in gratitude that you picked this place to come to. Do I have to bring a 'bubbies pickle' with me when I go? Try their cucumber pickles. Let me know what you think. You now know what this chef thinks.
