Amazing food and fun games. I had too many different dishes to remember but I do remember that everything was amazing. A good amount of vegetarian options too. I highly recommend this place if you want to eat and chill.

I’ve had just coffee here, and a meal as well! Very cozy spot to get schoolwork or work done. Great location, and there is usually parking out front for drivers. We highly recommend the tomato soup with grilled cheese as well as the hummus app.

Um, I have been trying places a little at a time since I started at Drexel University. This place didn’t look like something I would have walked into because I thought it was just a coffee shop. Today I walked by it and there was a female taking a photo of her food and it honestly looked REALLY good (Grilled Cheese with Fries) so I decided to make a stop here today and MAN am I glad I did. Landmark Americana makes some fantastic burgers but The Board and Brew has crafted a even better, perfectly juicy, flavor rich, savory tasting a burger that makes you think “how have I not tried this place sooner. Size of the burger was apparently portioned and sized as well. Price wise, well I paid the same amount for a Burger Shack meal and walked away extremely disappointed with their bland thin patty that tasted like it was reheated and slapped on a McDonald’s crummy roll. Thats not the master piece I had today. The meal came with fries, they were also perfectly cooked with a beautiful crispy exterior and tasty to the bite. Just the perfect side for the perfect burger. Customer service was all extremely welcoming, helpful and polite. This place is absolutely a place I will return to. Nice job to their team and the awesome experience I had today. Thank You! Next time I will take a photo before I finish it!

decided to get a pot of tea but im not a huge fan of hot tea so i asked if they could do a pot of tea lukewarm and they said no but they said that they could give me ice and then i asked for alot of honey so then they gave me two little pitchers of honey. Staff was super accommodating and friendly. always enjoy coming here. the food is good the drinks are good and the staff is always friendly. one of my favorite study spots when there is space.

I always love coming to The Board and Brew- they’ve got great drinks and a wonderful atmosphere. Whenever I go I have a great time. It’s nice to play games and be around others having fun. Their board game selection is EXTENSIVE. You’ll never be board (get it?). Whether you like fun and lighthearted or more serious games, they have something for you. They’ve got card games, scary games, family games, space themed games, train themed games, cooperative games, competitive games, and more. They even have their own system to help you pick a game based on what you’re looking for. Coming with friends is a great time! They have space indoors and outdoors which is nice. I haven’t had their food, and I personally would love to see more gluten free options, though they do have some, but the drinks are really good! Their chocolate cherry latte for Valentine’s Day is out of this world! I am a super huge fan, so much that I miss it throughout the rest of the year. If I’m in the area I stop by just for a drink. In addition to good drinks, games, and vibes, their staff is great. Every waiter, waitress, and server I’ve had has been kind, friendly, cool, and attentive.
