Reviews for Board & Brew in Carlsbad, CA

I recently went to this Board & Brew and noticed one of the breads used is sq*** bread. This is a derogatory term for Native... American women and girls. In November 2021, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland (a Native American woman herself) formed a task forceand declared the word "squaw" derogatory. The federal government is working on renaming all of the 660+ placenames in the U.S.with the term. Additionally, there have been other efforts to remove the term outside of federal lands as well, such asRiverside's Backstreet Restaurant in 2015 and Palisades Tahoe ski resort in 2021. A quick Google search provides articles onethis. Please rename this bread as soon as possible. I understand that this is standard naming for all Board & Brew locationsand menus. I also understand that this is a type of bread and this name is commonly used. However, that does not change the factthat this business is using a derogatory slur. This can change. Other business have changed the name to just "brown bread." I amleaving a one star review here because I have not heard back from Board & Brew corporate on my requests sent to the companyemail and website on July 6 and 18, 2022. Please work to change this bread name here and with Board & Brew corporate. I havegreatly enjoyed eating and drinking at Board & Brew over the years. And hope to continue to do so. I will gladly remove/revisethis poor review once the bread is renamed. Read more

The sandwich was surprisingly well made. The bread was good and it was a large sandwich for the money. Overall good value. The... beer selection is terrible, The only IPA they have is from Bergen and it tastes like soap. When you enter the building it isconfusing where to order and if there is a line. There was a line of people that were all waiting for their food. I ate in therestaurant and saw multiple people enter who were also confused where to go. I think with the little fine tuning this placecould be stellar though. Read more

Nice people, but ordered 10 sandwiches and even though the printout showed exactly what I ordered, six out of ten were... mislabeled and two extra who knows what and missing two. You are kind of stuck, because the the sandwiches are wrapped, so youcan't really check them. I waited about 20 minutes and I am very disappointed. I called and was told they could make up thetwo and give me a refund, but it is not about the money. This was a personal gesture for the Dad's in my office for Father'sDay. You need to get it together! Read more

Came here with a friend for lunch. Sandwiches are delicious and large (as in piled high). We split the Turkado sandwich. You can... get their sauce on the side to dip your sandwich in. It reminds me of Catalina dressing (I like it). Good customer service. Foodis brought to your table quickly and with a smile. If you are in the area, check it out! Read more

This is good place for picking up a quick bite and a beer ????. Our party ordered veggie sandwich ???? and chicken sandwich ????... with grilled onions. Both ???? were fresh and tasty. Remember ask for your bread to be toasted; it will taste so much better!The staff is very friendly too! #msperatv Read more

Board & Brew is a huge hit in Carlsbad. The food is awesome. Their homemade secret sauce is everything! Be sure to get at... least 2 of those and don't plan to share. I particularly love their sandwiches that have grilled chicken since their chicken isdelicious. It has a nice char to it and has a great flavor. The restaurant is always busy and the line can be long so be sureto order ahead if you don't want to wait. But if you are in the mood to take your time, I recommending having a beer while youwait. They have great beers on tap and a decent patio area to sit and enjoy the Carlsbad breeze. Board & Brew is a littletucked away but definitely worth the effort. Read more

When we are in Carlsbad, CA, we often order sandwiches at Board & Brew. Every time we eat here, we leave feeling good about the... food in their relaxed atmosphere. Their staff has always been welcoming and helpful. Dining tables and chairs are inside andoutside on a patio. We like to eat outside to feel a gentle breeze that makes the lunch relaxing on a nice day. Tables andchairs in both areas show social spacing now. Inside this restaurant is a small bar that serves alcohol. There are chairsaround the bar area where the bartender works. A soft drink fountain is on the other side of the room from the bar. This visitto Board & Brew happened around 4:00 PM. Thus, we arrived before the late afternoon crowd. That timing allowed our sandwiches,"Turkey Club" and "Vegi Supreme," to be ready without delay. My Turkey Club sandwich was on a fresh 7.5-inch French stick roll. A sandwich that large is more than I can eat in one sitting. If you like to take what is left, this is made easy at their sodafountain counter, where a box of aluminum wrap and sandwich bags are available for travel. This sandwich shop is in a smallcorner of this busy shopping center along the entry street at the edge of the parking area. We always find a parking space. However, around mealtimes, the parking gets harder to find, and the waiting line shows people often queued up in the orderingline. Read more

Friendly staff and consistently good food. I am a big fan of the turkado sandwich on squaw bread, but the roast beef spicy is... good, too. Reasonable local brew selection on tap with separate bar for casual diners. Can be very busy during the lunch rush,but the move to the new location brings a great deal more seating space. Great place to go after work for food to go or a beerwith friends! Read more
