I've been craving a good steak sandwich after having an amazing one in the Bay Area. So while I was yelping, I found The Carving Board and we decided to come here this past Saturday.
Ordering is pretty simple. Once you figure out what you want, just order with the cashier and they will bring out the food to your table when it is ready. All sandwiches come with their house made potato chips OR a side salad. If you want something else (fries, soup, etc), you can do the $2 upgrade!
I went for their Steak Diane which had filet mignon with diane sauce, mushrooms, grilled onions, swiss, and spinach on a telera roll. My husband decided to go for the Bentley which had filet mignon, bacon mayo, swiss, grilled onions, and spinach on ciabatta bread. The sandwich actually normally comes with blue cheese but he subbed it for the swiss. Our friend went with their Smashouse Burger which had two beef patties, lettuce, tomato, onion, thousand island, and carving spread on a brioche bun.
The Steak Diane and the Bentley were both really delicious! The mushrooms gave the sandwich such a good flavor. The filet was cooked wonderfully. The only issue I had with the Steak Diane is that because the mushrooms tend to release a lot of liquid while cooked, it soaked the telera roll a lot and the sandwich falls apart really easily. It was really messy to eat. I think if they used ciabatta bread instead, it might stay together better. Maybe next time, we could see if we could request that.
The Bentley was my favorite. The bacon mayo added such savoriness to it and it went so well with the filet mignon. The bread stayed together the whole time, which was a plus! I think next time I go back, I would definitely get the Bentley.
I think my friend did enjoy his burger. He did mention that he wished they used grilled onions instead of raw red onions. I personally like raw onions on my burger but maybe next time, he can see if he can request them to be grilled.
The house made chips were pretty good! Except some pieces tend to be less crispy than the others. Their fries are shoe string fries so they are thin, which is actually a favorite for me -- not so much for the rest of my party.
Overall, definitely a fantastic place to get a sandwich. I would definitely be back!
