If you’re into craft beer, this place serves some familiar breweries you’ll be stoked to see.Been to a couple Board & Brews around OC and they all have great sandwiches and good beer selection, but the craft beer selection at the SA location takes the cake!

The beer selection was amazing and the sandwiches were really really delicious! I got the roast beef sandwich and my partner got the pastrami; we were both very satisfied with the food and service!

Have been here multiple times, mostly for late lunches. Have NEVER had a bad meal! Bread is always fresh, portions big - sometimes have used a knife and fork as there are a lot of ingredients in some sandwiches. They will customize to your liking. Salads are excellent and the Cobb salad is big enough for two meals. Everyone is very friendly. There is a small bar there. I think they only serve beer - not sure. Love going there and sitting on patio on warm days.

My wife and I usually really like Board and Brew however this Santa Ana location keeps missing the mark. The few times we've eaten here they continue to fail me. I don't understand why it seems so hard to get the sandwich order correct..... No cheese means no cheese, no may usually means no mayo. $15+ for a sandwich?

Food is great but management doesn't recognize and or doesn't care about the inconvenience they put on a customer when they get the order wrong. We had A to go order and someone just wasn't paying attention . 1) we should be comped in some way for there mistakes 2) they should review the order before putting out as ready We love the place but having to waste time going back and forth is not what I like doing on a weekend.

This spot has a funny location but a very cool vibe! We were in town looking for something simple: a place to sit down, have a drink, eat fresh food that wasn't from a chain. This hit all those marks and had SUPER friendly staff. My hubby and I got a salad and a sandwich and split them each. It was a good amount of food for both of us and we have gotten comfy and tried more of their great beer selection if we weren't heading out to meet up with family. This is a local spot that needs local support! Check it out!

I was there 02/16/24 around noon and my server was (I may be wrong but I want to say Raquel, very friendly gal with some tattoos) the absolute best. The food was definitely amazing but the service was what stood out. The gal (whose name I do not remember) was very attentive even though there were many customers. She was spot on with checking in on us as if this were a mastros. She checked in regularly to see if we needed anything else. And as always.... Good beer. New office around the corner, will definitely come back due to this experience at this location.

I'm a sucker for a good salad & this Green Salad did not disappoint. I walked in, ordered for take out, service was great and surprisingly pretty fast considering the lunch rush. It's actually a pretty cool spot to dine in & grab a drink (if your up for that) I will say, I felt my salad had a bit too much chicken but, again surprising as some places cheap out on the portions. Overall, really enjoyed this spot. Also, their ranch dressing is a must! Very delicious!

The food was great but the customer service was horrible I couldn't get his name I don't if it was intentional but he farted and smirked at my wife and said sorry I had beans for breakfast I can't believe this happened never would I thought this would occur to me at least he apologized I'll give you a star for that HORRIBLE IM NEVER COMING BACK!!!
Chicken baja is so good! I have tried most of their sandwiches and you can't go wrong. I like that their baguettes are soft. Secret sauce makes it even better!!!

I Enjoy visiting when I'm craving something Healthy and simple. Ladies here provides great service. Obsessed with their turkey turkado non stingy with the avocado. Food wait is very reasonable & accurate. Will be back!

Very pleasant atmosphere. My wife and I wanted a sandwich and ran across this location near where we were. The bread was outstanding. I would go back again if I had the opportunity

Tried this place twice. I'm from NY and I'm not impressed with a lot of sandwich places in So Cal. People see to like this place for some reason. Here's my thoughts Bread sucks (rolls) Over Priced Meats and cheese are below average Italian sandwich has ham, Turkey, and Swiss??? WTF Place is totally underwhelming. I think think 10 other places to go, just in the OC, that are light years better. If you love sandwiches, and thinking about eating here, don't waste your time or money.

***This review is for take out only*** Came across this restaurant when one of my coworkers was scarfing down a giant sandwich during lunch. The sheer size of the sandwich compelled me to ask what the heck was that thing? It was huge! He happily replied that it was called the Turkado and that he got it at Board & Brew. Never heard of the place but I spied it on one of my food delivery apps. They were offering a deal, so I figured why not give it a try. I'm glad I did. When the sandwich arrived it came perfectly wrapped and cut nicely in the middle so you could revel in the layers of fresh ingredients they packed into this massive sammie. Nestled between two thick slices of sourdough bread were tender slices of juicy turkey piled so high I could hardly wrap my mouth around it! Fresh buttery crushed avocado juicy tomato sweet red onion cheese and crisp shredded lettuce finished the remaining layers of ingredients. It also came with a side of their addictively good sandwich sauce in tow. I'd say it was like thousand island but with a tangy twist. Very tasty I might add and you'll want to slather it on top of every decadent bite. I honestly couldn't eat the entire sandwich in one sitting, so I saved the rest for later. Definitely a great value for what you get and the quality is bar none compared to other sandwich spots. I've been addicted to this sandwich ever since and order it quite often especially when I have a hankering for substantial doses of tryptophan in my lunch. Happy Eats!
