Board & Brew - Tempe is definitely a gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with friendly and welcoming service. The atmosphere is fun, casual, and perfect whether you're grabbing a quick bite or hanging out to watch a game. The place is clean, vibrant, and has a great energy overall.Now onto the food—absolutely delicious! The sandwich I ordered was fresh, flavorful, and loaded with quality ingredients. You can really taste the difference. Their signature sauce added the perfect touch, and the portion size was very generous. It’s clear why they have so many 5-star reviews!One small thing to note—the crust on the sandwich bread was a little too chewy for my liking, but that’s just a personal preference and didn’t take away from how good the rest of the sandwich was. Everything else was spot on!I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing sandwiches, a good vibe, and excellent service. We’ll definitely be back soon to try more from their menu! - Chantel “Pepper” Elam
