Board & Brew - La Habra

Can't beat a sandwich and beer. Great sandwiches and usually about 13 beers on tap.

I’ve been passing by Board & Brew in La Habra for years, always meaning to stop in—then forgetting it exists by the next red light. This time, thanks to an Instagram post, I finally made it in. And yeah, I’m glad I did. I went with the Chicken Club and a side of their house potato salad. Sandwich ran me $11.95 and it’s a solid deal. Big, hearty, fully loaded, big pieces of grilled chicken, bacon, fresh produce, all packed into toasted bread that didn’t fall apart halfway through. They offered their secret sauce on the side (free), and I gave it a go. It’s more sweet and tangy than salty—interesting but not essential. The potato salad? Flavor’s fine, but it was colder than necessary. Like, “is this thing still defrosting?” kind of cold. I ended up letting it sit for a bit before really digging in. Not a dealbreaker, just maybe chill your beer, not your side dish, you know?
And speaking of beer, yes, they’ve got a full draft beer counter with a bunch of taps. Great if you’re coming to hang out or just want something to go with your sandwich. I also noticed they’ve got some legit-looking salads, too. Not just lettuce and regret—actual good, full-meal salads that I’ll probably come back to try. The vibe was great for a Sunday afternoon: live music outside, mellow crowd, and free, easy parking. Under $18 for a good meal with solid portions, solid flavor, and good energy all around. Definitely worth the stop. I’m glad I finally made it in, and with so much on the menu I still want to try, I’m already planning round two

Easily one of the best roast beef dip sandwich spots I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying. I liked it enough to come two days in a row. Super flavorful roast beef, and the sandwiches held up really well even after being dunked in the au jus. Also the sandwiches are all very reasonably priced.

The staff here might have been training both times I went because they weren’t the smoothest experiences. The first trip, they forgot my beverage order and I had to ask again after my food was ready. The second trip, the server asked me if I wanted sauce on the side and then didn’t provide it with the food. I also had questions about the menu, and they had no idea. I witnessed them asking another team member, and never getting back to me.

Oh well. At least the food is yummy. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu.

1st time here. I had no idea it was a sandwich shop! The music was way too loud, none of us could hear each other. I had my sandwich on a wrap ($2 extra). It was very average. Didn't care for their secret sauce. Others at our table had sandwiches and a salad. Everyone agreed it was good, not great. Not sure if I would go back again, mostly because it was so loud inside

Sandwiches don’t always come out right. Depends who makes it but the staff are always friendly and kind. Atmosphere is great and better than most sandwich shops

Awful just awful sandwiche. Went in for the first time today ( never going back) pastrami was absolute trash, who the hell puts grilled onion In pastrami ?

No wonder place was empty

Gross sandwich. Worst pastrami I ever had. I rather flush my 14 bucks than the toilet

Very good beef dip. But no frys.

Excellent, flavorful sandwiches!

I wanted to like this sandwich shop, but I must admit I was disappointed, especially given the price. I ordered the Italian Sub and a regular fountain drink. Total price: $15.64.

For that price point I expected a great sandwich. However, what I got was "just okay." It wasn't anything particularly special and a bit on the bland side. Also, they put way too many red onion slices. Had to take most of them off and was left with a small pile of them (note: I do like red onion, this was just way too much).

The bread of the sandwich was good though.

I tried a side of their Secret Sauce. Their sauce tastes like some type of vinaigrette with an added something I can't place. It is incredibly tangy and was too much tang to go with my sandwich which already had a dressing in it. Perhaps the sauce goes well with other options or good to dip chips into.

The vibe of the place is nice though. Inside there are booths and tables and a bar area opposite the fountain drinks. Outside is a small patio with more tables.

All in all, my experience was underwhelming. Like I stated, I wanted to like this place, but my sandwich was too "meh" and too expensive for a "meh" sandwich.
