    Turkado and Chicken Pesto Panini
    Kim R.

    My husband used to frequent this sandwich place 20+ years ago. It had been quite some time and we were in the area so we stopped in. We got two different sandwiches and split them. They were both good but I preferred the turkey. My husband got a small macaroni and potato salad which he said was just eh/ok. I'd eat there again and try a different sandwich.

    Excellent quick lunch spot! I got the Ceasar club and it was delicious. Going to recommend to my coworkers for a quick lunch spot.

    Chicken sandwich on grilled sourdough

    I can't believe I have not reviewed this place yet!! I don't come here often because it's not close to my house or work but every time I do it's perfect!!! So delicious!! Every sandwich is great. This time I got the grilled chicken on the sourdough was served with a delicious pickle. I got some jalapeño chips and a Diet Coke. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is spotless super clean and the service is on point even when they're really busy you get your food pretty fast[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] if you're looking for a sandwich this is definitely your place. I'm gonna talk to my Work and see if we could start catering from here because the prices for catering seem very reasonable and the food is better than any catering we get.

    This is the best sandwich place in Orange County, hands down! Every single sandwich I've had here, and I've had about 8 different, have all been fantastic. Soups have all been hearty and tasty. You must try the Chicken Healthy - Best sandwich I've ever had! Customer service is top-notch!

    Perfect little spot for a quick breakfast burrito! It has the perfect ratio of potato, bacon, cheese and eggs. I asked for green sauce was seemed freshly made and thick. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quick in and out with some comfortable seating as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Price point was $8 which is a little cheaper than most places now. Will be back and to hopefully try their sandwiches!

    I got a BLT and they gave me so much bacon on my sandwich , this place was so bomb but it was a turn off once I saw an eyelash and dirt on the lettuce when I started opening it up. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was going to give 5 stars but I can't get pass the lash and the dirt on the lettuce and they had Christian music so I'll give u a star for that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I am not sure if this place is clean , I walked in and saw a few flies in the front as well[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Friendly staff, reasonable prices, and delicious breakfast bagels! I came across Pumper Pickle on yelp and wanted to give it a try. You can definitely understand their purpose of providing healthy meals to their customers. They have endless options and are willing to accommodate to your dietary needs. I will definitely be coming here more often

    Healthy turkey sandwich with turkey, cream cheese, cranberry sauce, sprouts, lettuce and cucumbers. Delicious!!!

    I consider myself above average in the field of sandwich expertise. I work in the field as a…read moreRegional Manager, I enjoy sandwiches still and I try out different spots often to see what the "competition" is like. Board and Brew is definitely top notch! I was deciding on where to snag lunch on my way to another store doing my rounds and I really wanted a sandwich. I decided to get the Turkado, some dirty Maui chips and drink. The total came to $17 and some change, not bad about the avg for the area and any lunch. The service was great, the woman who helped me was nice, and efficient, she helped me select what chips to get. Not much bantering but I do enough of that at work, so all good here. The store was clean, nice vibe, music. My order was ready in the time it took me to fill my soda cup and sit down to scroll 1 scroll thru outlook emails. Maybe 5-7 mins the woman who gave me my order asked if I wanted some secret sauce on the side, and put it in the bag. The bag felt heavy! The sub was huge! Probably 8inches bread was nice and springy, there was enough lettuce, tomato and sauces on it. I love the sunflower seeds, gives it a nice little crunch. The meat is more of a very thin piled high but there is a lot of it! I like how the sub is assembled meat, cheese, toppings sauce, it seems to hold together nicely.

    This review covers my experience across multiple locations, including Harbor Boulevard in Costa…read moreMesa 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. Edit: The owner replied to my comment about how their food is high quality, but 6 years of taste testing says otherwise. While you may not add pure MSG crystals to your sauce, it still contains MSG.It is misleading to claim "No MSG" or "High Quality" when the sauce relies on ingredients that are chemically identical to it. For instance: Tomatoes and Tomato Paste: These are among the highest natural sources of free glutamate. If the recipe uses tomato paste--as many copycats do--it will test positive for MSG. Soy Sauce & Worcestershire Sauce: Both frequently cited in recipes for this sauce, these contain naturally occurring MSG through fermentation or hydrolysis. Nutritional Yeast: Often used to provide a savory flavor, it naturally contains high levels of glutamate.Hydrolyzed Proteins: Ingredients like "hydrolyzed vegetable protein" (HVP) or "yeast extract" are processed specifically to release glutamates. Legally, a company might say they "don't use MSG" if they don't add the pure additive, but that is a technicality. MSG is linked to various health issues for sensitive individuals, and just because many consider it "safe" doesn't mean it's healthy or non-harmful. If the food is truly "high quality," why rely on these additives to create flavor? Best Wishes
