Horrible Experience, Never Again
My first time here was a terrible experience, and I was even strong-armed into taking down a Google review. The staff member asked, "How would you like me to leave a 1* review where you work? " and repeatedly used a derogatory term for someone who isn't a "real Hawaiian. " This level of disrespect and attitude is unacceptable, especially from management. Instead of apologizing or asking how things could be improved, I was met with hostility. I will never eat here again. The food quality is also poor; they can't even make a proper melt or grilled onions. The service is horrible. I sat at the bar for over 20 minutes before a bartender finally acknowledged me. On one occasion, the restaurant even ran out of toilet paper in the entire establishment, leaving me to "figure it out. " This is a place I will not return to.

Best Board and Brew Experience!
My experience at this Board and Brew location was exceptional, surpassing all others I've visited. The staff were incredibly nice and welcoming. I was particularly impressed with their Chicken Caesar wrap, which they prepare better than any other location. A huge shoutout to them!

Excellent Service for Kids!
My experience at the restaurant was great, thanks to Tori's exceptional service. She was extremely helpful and friendly, assisting me and my kids at the counter with custom sandwiches for the kiddos. Tori was incredibly accommodating and helpful in getting us exactly what we needed!

Best sandwich since Jordan left!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the best sandwich I've had since Jordan left. Kudos to the new manager and the server, Christina and Tori, for their excellent service. The atmosphere was also a highlight, rated 5/5, and the food was equally impressive, also rated 5/5. It was a great lunch experience.

Consistently Great Food and Service
I've always loved coming to this place for a meal, both during my high school days and now after university. The people here are lovely, and their dishes always maintain the same high quality and taste. It's a great option for a meal, whether you're getting it to go or dining in!

Phenomenal Service and Experience!
My experience at this restaurant was absolutely phenomenal. The service was outstanding, with James personally taking care of my order from start to finish. He provided an incredibly professional and welcoming energy throughout my meal. The atmosphere was also a perfect 5/5, and the food was equally impressive at 5/5. I will definitely be coming back!
