    We found this little sandwich shop tucked away in this little strip mall just off of Barrington. The restaurant itself is a lot larger than I anticipated. Just a heads up, they only accept card payments. Card payments includes Apple Pay as well as Google pay, in case you were wondering. I was impressed by the large dining area the natural light that comes through and how clean everything was. The menu is tough for me to read because I am a little bit more visually impaired these days. But they are located on three large TV screens above the register and ordering area. There are printed menus available as well. Most of their sandwiches look like they are anywhere from about $15-$18 each. They have quite a variety. I really love and appreciate that the person who took my order not only was very familiar with their sandwiches and could make some really good recommendations, but they were very mindful in letting me know if I were ordering a sandwich that were cold versus hot. Sometimes I've had the experience where I order a sandwich and I get it and it's cold. I didn't anticipate that. So, there was one sandwich that I thought I was going to order from here and the employee who is taking my order let me know that that was a good selection, but that it was a cold sandwich and not a hot one. Thank goodness. A dodge bullet on that one. I also really appreciate the fact that the employee let me know that with certain sandwiches, if the bread type was not one that I cared for that I might be able to substitute it without any problem. I ordered food for my kiddo, and I mentioned that she has a little bit more bit more difficult time with breads that are crispy or hard or tough, like a French roll. So she made it very clear to me as to which bread varieties they have that might be good for her situation. I also really like the fact that the employee knew what was in the different spreads that they use on their sandwiches. That was very helpful. I also mentioned to the employee that I am allergic to olives and cucumbers. And so, if there were any items that we were ordering that were inclusive of cucumbers and olives, she would put cucumbers on the side, but olives were not a worry because they don't use them in house at all. I was honestly just really impressed with your service and the knowledge of their staff. She said that a lot of their repeat business comes from their in-house spreads that they use on their sandwiches. I believe it. My family and I we ordered about five different sandwiches. Each sandwich comes with a side salad unless of course you go ahead and decide to order an upgraded side. Some of the examples of upgraded sides include things like french fries or a goat cheese and tomato soup. Another option was a turkey chili or a side of coleslaw or a kale pasta salad. Those are all pretty good seeming sides. Personally, I ordered pretty blindly. I didn't really look at the cost of each of the sandwiches that I ordered nor did I ask about the cost for the upgraded sides. But all in all, five sandwiches and upgraded size for each of them was a total of $100. I figured, 20 bucks per person really isn't bad these days.

    Brisket dip & tomato soup

    Easy comfortable environment with helpful staff. You order at the counter and then they bring it to you. My boys and I needed something tasty and we chose Americano. Everything was prepared well. The tomato soup was served at perfect temperature and was very savory. The French fries were thin and very crispy. Their menu had something for everyone. We loved it and now the boys want to add this spot to our regular rotation.

    great spot for a quick lunch during a work day. ordered the chicken pesto sandwich with a side salad and thoroughly enjoyed it. i enjoyed my sandwich with some tabasco sriracha on the side. portions are slightly all the smaller side so you aren't busting at the seams, but it was good. the salad was decent nothing special just some spring mix with balsamic.

    WOW. We had an absolutely stellar experience here yesterday. We came in looking for an affordable bite to eat. My wife found The Carving Board on Google Maps, and I realized that this was the same place I had been eyeing up for months after seeing their menu and passing it on my way to work each day. Service was excellent -- everyone was friendly and kind, and the food came out quickly. While the restaurant is a counter-service only, the sitting area is very welcoming, and the plating is super cute and homey! I ordered the chicken salad sandwich, and it was absolutely superb. The chips on the side were stellar -- I would buy these by the bag! I also tried the s'mores bar, and it was excellent -- the Oreo cookies worked so well with the other s'mores flavors! My wife had the grilled cheese with goat cheese tomato soup, and the bite that I (consensually) stole was fantastic. Sincerely looking forward to returning here or visiting other locations sometime soon.

    Yo, fellow foodies. Did y'all binge watch "The Bear" like I did? Really enjoyed season three. Hope there's a fourth! Season two finale episode, titled " Omelette" sealed it for me with the incredible omelet Chef Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri - last month on the cover of Vanity Fair) made for for Natalie "Sugar" Berzatto (Abby Elliott) and topped with potato chips. WHAAT? Normally, I zone out at the end of the day, sleep through some good stuff (actually most of it) BUT my radar was up on this. I gotta do this thing as seen on TV egg/omelet thing. Memorized it. Did it but not exactly. (If you missed it the recipe all over social media.) Unfortunately, not a potato chip in the pantry. Just tortilla chips. Faked it. "Honey, this is good but woulda been better with potato chips like on that bear something or other show you stream." "So? Your plate's clean?" "So? Potato chips would have made it just sayin'." Well, hubby was right, right again. Enter The Carving Board my pre-pandemic middle of the day lunch spot. Next door for a much needed haircut, I purchased two orders of THE BEST house-made potato chips. One for the ride home and one to make my hubby know I really was paying attention to "The Bear". The Carving Board shares parking with a variety of businesses. Be mindful of tight spaces. No cash (Don't serve coffee but 7-Eleven across Barrington/Gateway does). Credit/Debit cards accepted. Perhaps I was too anxious to get home to make that DIY omelet but I believe there is no way to tip staff. That's something I always want to do having served in the ranks oh so long ago. Feeling guilty... Thanks to The Carving Board I nailed that potato chip topped omelet! Reprise for that coming soon to our table...

    Chocolate chip cookie with a paper clip i bit into.

    Took me a while to leave this as I wanted to go back and burn this place to the ground. Service was fantastic so I left a tip. I got the French dip and club sandwiches with the chocolate chip cookies. Food was great until I was eating one of the cookies and found a paperclip in it. I've worked for over 6 years in a dinner to put myself through college and I found a couple hairs, stuff happens. But a paperclip? What kind of operation do they have there? I dont know what else i ate that I didn't detect.

    Talk about a yummy happy hour!  Alcohol free!

    Definitely my go to! I always get the Caesar salad, chicken Caesar salad sandwich with the homemade chips. Yum! You can get a salad if you want. Unlimited drinks and that little dessert bite was delicious. It was a combination brownie Oreo marshmallow Yum.

    Making a sandwich with chips shouldn't be that difficult
    Eric R.

    It pains me to write this review. We've been visiting this location for a couple of years. In the past, the service and quality of the sandwiches has always been excellent. Over the last year, the quality of the experience and the sandwiches has taken radical shifts between great and terrible. When the male manager it's working, things seem to go much smoother and the quality is delivered. When he is absent, we have had three poor experiences to the point we've had to ask for refunds because the sandwich quality was so poor. The problem is the prices have gone up across the board, so poor quality is unacceptable. Also, the the team needs to focus on executing the in restaurant diners orders and not cater to the to-go orders. People that are sitting in your restaurant are expecting you to give them the highest quality attention and execution.

Food was fantastic, I like the garlic yogurt sauce with the Mamani and the tuna salad was delicious. They have protein shakes (they're right across from F45 so genius move on their end) with the option of whey or pea protein. Seems like a new local business so definitely go to give your support! The staff is really friendly and nice. Biggest tip: if you're walking or didn't park in the garage, the entrance to the place is a doorbell you ring on the gate next to the bus stop.

To eat, the baba's chicken caesar wrap and that was okay as well. It tasted pretty healthy which I do like, but a lot of the components made it feel like I was eating cardboard. The creamy sauce did help though and I loved the crunchy and refreshing side salad. Interior and bathrooms are pretty clean with a good amount of seating, tables, and outlets. The baristas here were super nice and welcoming. The music can get a bit loud though especially the one coming from the fitness room it's connected to. To park, you just need to follow the signs inside the building for the free covered parking. Solid study spot with decent drinks and food. I would consider coming back.

Their mozzarella sandwich is a masterpiece with Fresh Ovoline Mozzarella, Avocado, Alfalfa Sprouts, Pickled Red Onion and a delicious Za'atar Spread.

Probably the only other place that can dare to match their creations is La Zucca at the Beverly Hills Cheese Store. Some of our other favorites is the tuna sandwich. Service is always on point and the sandwich travels well for consuming it at home. There isn't a ton of space to sit, but there is some counter style seating. Tip: Their menu is limited by choice.

We liked it so much that we made a plan to come back next week. So we went to today and I ordered a BLT with turkey added, no problem. My girlfriend asked for the veggie wrap in a sandwich form and the guy at the register said "we don't do modifications". My girlfriend responded by saying they were able to do it last time so could you check. He looked fairly new and had trouble putting in my order in the register since I modified it by adding turkey. So he went to the back and just asked, do we do modifications? To which the guy in the back said no. She's vegan and that's all she can have off the menu so she ended up not getting anything and she was bummed since she really liked the sandwich they made last time. So we won't be coming back here and this place gets one star based on the customer service. It's a sandwich shop, if it's an extra charge to put a veggie wrap into a sandwich no problem. But the hard NO when it was made last time is PRETTY LAME for a sandwich shop not being able to make a veggie sandwich.
