Board & Brew Poway Reviews
Board and Brew is always a wonderful experience, from the quality of the food to the overall experience. The service from Lauren, Justine, Michael and Iyana makes our favorite place to eat. Thank you for all that you guys do. Especially the manager Andy is always welcoming and pleasant.
Wow! Just an amazing experience. Got the Veggie Supreme and the hostess, Iyana, recommended some upgrades with it (toasted baguette & jalapeños). Spicy & sweet sauce for dipping put it over the top. Thank you so much for the great sandwich, beer and service! Above my expectations
I’m happy Board & Brew came to Poway. Parking is good and seating as well with nice spots inside, at the bar, and on the patio. The turkado is my go-to and almost any beer on tap. I went when Second Chance Beer Co. had a $5/pint promo so it was a win-win situation. I like the beachy, chill vibe of this and their other locations.
This place is bringing much-needed coolness to Poway 😎 The vibes are right and I've had fast & friendly service every time I've come to this location with friends and fam. Highlights would have to be their not-too-loud background music (did somebody steal my playlist?!) as well as their cute and fun outdoor patio area. Stoked they're down the street from me so I can get a beer at 10am 🍻🤪 Plus I just ordered their turkey deluxe sandwich from doordash and it is exactly as delicious as expected, and altho they forgot my add-on pepperoncinis for $1, they did get the add avocado and subtract tomato parts right ✅ Thanks for opening this spot and welcome to Poway!
Food is always great at this location. Service is good too. Got our sandwiches super fast with a smile
Each and every time I have been to this location, there is the sweetest young man behind the counter named Michael! Always a smile, always remembers me, such a positive attitude and exceptional customer service! This place is great on its own. Never had a poor sandwich, the beer is equally delicious, but the highlight is Michael! The other staff is always friendly and is equally exceptional, but he stands out as he’s the first point of contact with staff! Hope this location knows how lucky they are to have such a great employee! He is why my family and I keep returning! Kudos to your space for being a go to for us, and providing us with a fun environment to relax and spend time together.
Board and Brew sandos are always great and consistent, however, this location has Noah and Payten. I was very impressed with their service and quality attitudes, it really made lunch that much better.
I eat here for lunch almost everyday, Jacob’s service is impeccable. We have asked soooo many technical questions about sandwiches and how to construct them in new ways and Jacob is always eager to help. Madi and Noah are constantly attentive and a pleasure to have serve you.
Consistent sandos every time and pleasant employees to chat with over a beer. Noah and Payton got us in and out close to closing time. Local tap selection was nice, too.
Fast super friendly service! I come here for my salad or sandwich once a week and the staff remembers my name and food I order. Gives it such a nice feeling! And the food is great! Sandwiches have yummy fresh bread, lots of good meat and veggies and the salads are very large, filling and beautifully arranged. I never buy beer there but the beer menu looks really good too!
Was taken here recently and the place was amazing. Staff was friendly and the atmosphere was great, all on top of probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had, couldn't recommend the Baja Chicken more.
5 stars this place has been a great addition to poway! I love the beef dipper with a good beer! Service has always been good, and the locations atmosphere is great! They only have 2 or 3 TVs, so not really a sports bar but great sandwiches with a few solid beers on tap!
Great food, great staff, and great vibes. I eat at Board and Brew at least once a week and have never had a bad experience. Andy, Lauren, and Yustyn are always helpful and will make sure that you are well taken care of. Can't recommend enough!
Love the sandwiches here! The app is easy to use and the order is made quickly and pickup is seamless. I love this location and will be back!!
Great spot for sandwiches, excellent bar area that is usually open to the outside. Can't beat East County for great weather in the winters. Gets a bit busy around lunch, but the people working there handle it well.
My go-to sandwich place. I’ve become a regular not just because of the chicken club, but because of the ambiance and staff. Lauren is awesome and the beer on tap pours into the coldest pint glass you’ve ever seen. This place is a gem.
First time visit as a guest diner with my step-daughter. Ordered their Beef Dip. The portion size and flavor was a welcome surprise! Definitely worth a return visit to try their other sandwiches.
Delicious sandwiches at Board & Brew! Big fan of the chain, and this location delivers. We had the turkado and California delight sandwiches which were great, love the sauce. We sat on the dog friendly patio. All the staff were very helpful and friendly, only waited about 10 minutes for the sandwiches. Recommend!
i LOVE board and brew. i ordered sandwiches online, showed up 15 minutes later and they were ready, and took them to the beach. we ate them about 2 hours after picking them up and they held up perfectly, and everything was to order
Another incredible experience at the Poway Board & Brew location! Fast service, delicious sandwiches, fresh ingredients, and a clean, happy atmosphere! Board & Brew is one of our top lunch places, and we're so grateful for a Poway location.
Every time I have been to a Boards and Brews, the service and quality of food has been consistent. My favorite sandwich is the California delight and thr portions are very filling! They also carry the kettle brand chips, which have great flavor.
This building was newly added to this plaza. Great addition to Poway. Has a mixture of indoor and outdoor seating. Even a sports bar with beer and tv screens. It gets busy during lunch and evening on sports days. It’s a pay first type of place and self serve. Hot sandwiches are “from the grill” category and cold sandwiches are under “speciality”. It’s all in full size sandwiches unless you order from “speciality” then you can get a half. I wish they offered a combo that was half sandwich and half salad. I ended up getting Baja wrap that’s chicken breast with avocado in a Spanish wrap. So moist and soft. The girl said Turkado is the most popular but I didn’t want a cold sandwich. That’s pretty much the same as Baja Wrap except is on sourdough bread and Turkmen vice chicken breast.
Friggin delicious! I got the turkey deluxe combo and some beers since I was with the work bros. The sandwich was tasty filling and pretty unique I thought with the sunflower seeds. The beers were great because they have their glasses chilled so they make that Friday off work beer that much better. 10/10 would come here again for lunch.
Very fresh, great food. Make sure to get the house sauce, it’s delicious. All the sandwiches I have had are good! Run about $15 and are huge. Some of them can be very spicy so beware when ordering. The restaurant is new with sleek look.
Great experience at board and brew with Noah, Payton, and Marlene. They have great sandwiches and beer selection.
Noah leading a great crew with Payton and Marlene at the Poway Board and Brew! Turkey club toasted melted is my favorite.
Best ever sandwiches! Thank you Noah !

Always a great place to go for sandwiches, and they always taste so fresh! Really good portion sizes and they seem to keep a pretty fresh rotation of local beers on hand. There's also a bar with several TV usually showing the local sports.
This sandwich shop is already an incredible place with consistent delicious food. But today I particularly enjoyed the service. Teya at the bar was so friendly and made my lunch experience remind me why its worth it to go out to eat instead of just making a sandwich at home. This is my go to lunch break spot, I will definitely be back.
Board & Brew is hands down one of the best sandwich spots around! The food tasted super fresh, the portions were generous, and that Secret Sauce is absolutely addicting. On top of the amazing food, the service here was top-notch. Jeff was super friendly and made sure my order was perfect. Gael had great vibes and made the experience even better. Payten was also super helpful! And Noah—that guy knows his stuff! You can tell the team genuinely cares about their customers. Will definitely come back for the laid-back atmosphere, AMAZING service, and quality food! AND the bathrooms were SOOOO clean! We love a clean bathroom!
Board & Brew in Poway is my go-to spot for a great sandwich. My favorites are the Turkey Deluxe, Beef Dip, and West Coast Pastrami—all super flavorful and made with fresh ingredients. Everything just tastes high-quality and well put together. The atmosphere is laid-back, with both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can sit wherever you’re feeling that day. They also have a couple of beers on tap, which is always a nice touch. And don’t skip their house sauce—it adds the perfect extra kick to any sandwich. If you’re in Poway and want a solid, no-fuss meal, this place is definitely worth a stop.
Had a great experience and great food. First time in Jeff had is try there unique sauce and had great customer service. Will definitely be returning
Don't see this everyday 😂 brought in our beehive to stay cool from summer heat and quick lunch with solid Sandos! Turkcado...like Sharknado, but edible. Tom's Choice, and Roast Beef Spicy.
I went here for dinner last weekend with a couple of friends and overall it was a solid experience. The place was clean, not too loud, and the staff was friendly without being over the top. Our server took a little time to come back for refills, but it wasn’t a big issue. The food came out warm and looked just like the menu photos, which was nice. I ordered a pasta dish and the flavors were simple but good, nothing fancy but satisfying. Portions were decent for the price. It felt like a comfortable spot you could come back to for a casual meal without thinking too much about it.

Takeout sandwiches were bought. Very good quality food. Taste was excellent. But they do need to be mindful of what they put into the sandwiches as some of them got very soggy. 1st world problem! Staff are friendly enough. Service is reasonable. Would go back for sure.
This is one of those places that is a hit & miss. My favorite sandwich is the Baja chicken 🐔 but unfortunately sometimes I end up with a dry chicken sandwich. So I'd say overall this place is good but a little inconsistent. Atmosphere could be better but I mean because they serve beer they have obnoxious regulars that kind of ruin it if your trying to eat with your family. I like a good beer & I'm not knocking the fact that they serve beer but some people just don't have respect for when there are kids around.
They have great sandwiches but I do love their green salad with the spicy low cal ranch dressing with a scoop of tuna fish salad. That's what I usually order when we go to a Board and Brew. We also ordered a Roast Beef Spicy sandwich and it was delicious too. Love that it came with au jus on the side though it was cold. This chain location was airy and open with a nice outdoor patio area. The service was good too.

This location is incredibly inconsistent. They left the chicken off my green salad today. I'll start checking before I leave the store. The turkado is either overstuffed and perfect or flat and falling apart, it's never the same. Not enough sauces per sandwich generally. I love this restaurant, but this location is in need of some training.
I have been going to Board and Brew for years and have been to all locations. I was super excited they were opening one in Poway. Once concern is at Poway they are putting less chicken on the chicken club sandwich then other locations. Not sure why. I end up with a lot more bread than meat and really only get about 2/3 of a sandwich now. I would like to see them have the same standards.
The girl with brown hair and the blond dude were super sweet. But the blond chick had wiped her nose and had her hands in her mouth and still was touching the napkins honestly just ended up getting a refund due to her still touching my food after I asked if someone else can pack it. I wouldn't mind if she had washed her hands but she didn't. I personally wouldn't touch my face nor mouth well handling someone else food I've worked food service before so I tried to be respectful but in the end of the day you never know if someone had anything contagious....
Waited over 40 minutes for veggie sandwich. Not good! Guy that came in before me left 10 minutes ago
We come here fairly often. My wife and I like different sandwiches so I would get 1/2 Turkado and she would get 1/2 of the Toms choice. All of a sudden they only do half sandwiches on select items. That’s fine I guess but it doesn’t make any sense in my opinion. Also, the girl that took my order had a bit of an attitude once I questioned the “policy”. The sandwich was pretty good. Review UPDATE: OK, I figured out which sandwiches are available in half size. Ordered a Turkado sandwich today. Sandwich was very good, so I will keep coming back. Young girl that took my order was rude and was rushing me to make a decision despite nobody else in line. She truly did not want to be at work today. That said, I know it’s hard to get good help these days, but I think the store manager should sit down with all employees and explain to them that a positive five minute interaction can make all the difference. No reason to be rude to a customer that wants a minute to review the menu.
Grabbed 2 sandwiches to go. Italian Sub and Roast Beef Spicy. Drove 5 mins up the road and both sandwiches were soggy. Dijon mustard bottle must have exploded on the Roast Beef sandwich. First time here and I'm all about first impression, so I will probably not return to Board and Brew anywhere. However the service was great and the place was clean with a good atmosphere.
After seeing my to-go order hit the counter, I watched and waited as the two kids working the counter finished their “snack” and licked their fingers before bringing me my bag. When I started to say something, the male teen cut me off and repeatedly said “have a nice day” while walking toward me aggressively. I’ve never been treated so rudely in this establishment before, but I am appalled - both at the rudeness and lack of proper food serving behavior. Truly disappointing, Poway Board & Brew.
Pay $12 for a sandwich and get literally one slice of turkey. Put this slice of meat on my food scale .4 oz….

I ordered a few Turkados for my staff, as we are eating it doesn't taste right. We ALL open our sandwiches to find the TURKADO has no AVOCADO. Very disappointed given that I gave a lot of my business to this place.
Terrible Bartender Do NOT Come here if you're colored Sat next to the draft beers waiting 10 minutes while 4 others came after me and were served 1st. I can't believe I'm writing this kind of review but, I'm the onky brown guy there. I've never made a single review about race, but after she poured the 5th beer for someone else infront of me, I decided to leave. I'm being actively ignored and she is pouring the drinks right in front of me!! Unbelievable
