Reviews for The Board and Brew in College Park, MD
8.27.22 | SO MUCH FUN! Visited for the first time today for my birthday with my girlfriends. It was inviting and cozy very... similar to Bus Boys and Poets. There were shelves filled with so many game choices and the food was not only delicious butenvironmentally friendly and conscious. Then to top it off! They gave me a complimentary ice cream ???? so sweet! (Literally).We play codenames mostly but they also have a cool guy that walks around and offers to teach you new games. I would definitelyvisit again. Read more
Walked in on a Tuesday before lunch to a relaxed casual environment. Was greeted with smiles and found out it?s actually a full... seated experience. My server quickly helped identify something to eat - I ordered the Granny Smith Apple-Arugula Salad withadded grilled chicken. Great balanced flavors and they did not skimp on the chicken which was tender and tasty. They servedquickly too because it was busy. Will definitely be back. Read more
My partner and I are new to the Maryland area and enjoy finding new fun things to do! We thought to come and just sit and have a... latte, but didn't know it was a full service place. We reviewed some boardgames and menu and thought, "Why not?" compared to aboardgame cafe in NYC, this is place is huge and extremely affordable with great food. Service (with knowledgable Bunny OwnerExperienced Waitress *Bonus*): Our waitress was helpful, attentive, and didn't ignore us at anytime. Wonderful job, though Iforgot her name, she was a rabbit owner, who owned a lop, which makes her awesome in my book. Bunny owners are always goodworkers all around. Latte ($4.75) & Mocha ($5.50): I am not picky, but my Mocha was fine, it tasted like a Mocha. My partnersaid the latte was really good though, good balance of coffee and milk. Salmon (Lox) Style Bagel / Chesapeake Smokehouse SmokedSalmon ($13): We ordered this with no bagel, so they customized our order just fine. The salmon was "salmony," I mean its smokedsalmon, it only has one taste at any place on this earth. Its fresh enough, really good, can't mess it up, you'ed be a majorclown to mess up opening a pack of smoked salmon and putting it on a plate. Southwestern Egg Sandwich ($8): This was awesome, Iwasn't expecting the meal to be so huge. Amazing portion for $8, easily a $16+ item in NYC. Crispy bacon, nicely cooked eggs,great avocado spread, on an extremely fresh bagel, I loved it! Definitely a hit with me. Gaming ($5 Per Person): We scouted thegames before sitting because we were hesitate at first with no intention of playing. The organization of the place and clearlylabelled shelves made it extremely easy to peruse the goods and find a game we can play. Previous places we have been to justpiled the boxes with no clear labels, so kudos to this place for making it easy to find something within the 750+ games theyhave. We ended up with "Bunny Kingdom," a deck management game with cute bunnies, and it was an aw Read more
Both the food and drinks I had here were excellent, and there were a lot of options on their menu. It also was a very fun and... comfortable place to play board games. There are a good amount of normal tables and chairs, and a few larger tables that havecouches for bigger groups. Our server was wonderful, and there was someone to help us pick out a game to play based on what wefelt like as well as explain the rules to us. I highly recommend this place for a fun game night/day with some friends. Read more
New to the area and wanted to try a local place for breakfast. I was pleased with my order for the most-part and Russell my... server was the best! It?s also a cool place to play board games (hundreds of options). I?ll definitely return! Read more
Amazing! Traveled to this area for a McNair event. Stopped here in the morning for breakfast, absolutely delicious. And gaming... for 5 dollars?! Who could ask for more! Stopped again for dinner and my friends and I played games nonstop. The wait time wasalso quick! If I ever come back to D. C or Maryland in general I would come back here. Our waitress was also a MN native so itwas nice to see the diverse workers! Read more
Nice atmosphere. Didn't like the mac and cheese. Good milkshake. Awesome fries. Didn't like being charged 9 dollars for playing... games when I didn't play games . . . Waiters were excellent though and handled my allergy with great care. Read more
