The Carving Board West LA

good spot to get lunch especially if in a time crunch. Quick service and got my food within 5-10 minutes of ordering. The French dip was really good and I liked the potato chips too. The only negative thing I have to say is it was a pretty small sandwich and that seems to be a common thing among all the sandwiches after looking at other reviews. Still would recommend going

Came here after I saw a person review the tomato soup as “bussing” I will say the tomato soup was bussing. Also probably one of the best sandwiches I had. Atmosphere was welcoming they have some really good AC going on. Perfect for the summer honestly I would recommend a friend to this spot it’s so yummy. Cashier was friendly and patient with me ^_^ I got the Chicken Salad Club with their very popular Tomato soup ($2 upgrade cost) Loved it. $19ish before tip

High quality and delicious. Service is fantastic. Today, Uber Eats guy delivered the wrong order. I called the store (Uber Eats sucks) and explained what happened. The manager remade my order and when I picked it up, they threw in free butter cake - all at no cost to me.

We were here on a Friday around 3:15PM for lunch. Only one other couple dining in and a few pick ups. Service was friendly and helpful. Food was fresh, well designed and delicious. I especially loved my Goat Cheese (subtle) Creamy Tomato soup, but the Roast Beef Sandwich and my partner's French Dip Sandwich were awesome, too. Great flavors and textures. The Fresh Strawberry lemonade was better than the Jones Soda Blue one, but those are at least more premium fountain soda options. From what my partner implied, the prices are rather high, so it's not a low-cost diner, but it is worth it if you can splurge. There is limited free parking that is shared with multiple other businesses, including a good Sushi place (we've enjoyed a few times), Thai and couple other options. We wanted Raman, but I think they were closed for some reason. I didn't notice outlets for business meetings, but otherwise might make a quaint location to meet up. Could use more comfortable chairs, some flowers on the tables to vibe up the place for romantic dates and potentially music, thus the 4 stars on Atmosphere, but I dig the wall art a LOT. VERY Cool inspiration!

Tried this place out. Food taste wise pretty good although the portion size was fairly small. I spent $50 on two sandwiches with fries and 1 soda. For that price I would have expected to get a little more meat in my sandwich. I would say there was probably about 4oz total on mine. Skimpy on the portion size but the taste was very good so I'll give 4/5. Overall don't come here to fill up, come here to get a tasty snack and be hungry later 😂

Some seriously delicious but fairly small sandwiches. They have many locations all around Los Angeles this being the most Westward of the bunch. It’s located in a small strip mall with a lot of parking. However, the parking lot spaces are very tight so if everyone is not parking well it may be hard to find some spaces. If the parking lot is full it’s easy to find free parking in the neighborhood behind the shopping center. It’s more of a to go type of place although they do have tables inside to eat. The attendant behind the counter was very polite and all of our items were made quickly for a last-minute Saturday night dinner. As mentioned the sandwiches here are quite small so don’t think of it like a submarine sandwich location or somewhere with giant belly busting sandwiches. It’s closer to the size of Porto’s sandwiches. We decided to try a few of their sandwiches. We ordered The Bentley, The Medianoche, and the Carving Club. The best of the bunch was the Bentley because the meat was truly tender and seasoned well and the sauce with it made it extra creamy and just a wonderful bite. The Medianoche was also pretty good, although not the most authentic Cuban sandwich. I wish it would’ve had a stronger mustard flavor, but still I really enjoyed it. The Carving Club was probably my least favorite of the three just because of its small size. The flavors were good, but it didn’t have the traditional club flavors in my opinion. We also ordered the tomato soup and fries as our sides and I was a big fan of the tomato soup, however, the goat cheese in it was extremely small, but the fries were not my favorite because they were a little too crisp and hard. I tend to like mine soft and salty. Overall a solid sandwich place that has some great to go options. I would recommend anyone in the area searching for a great sandwich.

So yummy!!! Me and my mans were starving and randomly decided to check this place out. I loveeee sandwiches and this place does not disappoint! I got the chicken caprese and my fiancé got the sweet chicken sandwhich. Both were seasonal items and delicious. I got the side salad which had an amazing light dressing and the house made chips were so tasty and not super oily like other chips. 5/5!!

Best sandwiches in LA. Best house made potato chips in LA as well. Service is quick and the people are nice. It is a little pricey for lunch, as some have noted, but sometimes you have to pay for quality.

My favorite, favorite French dip sandwiches come from here. I'm certain all their food is good but I can't help myself. There are many options to choose from of course, but when I imagine the perfect bread, meat, and jus, I can't bring myself to try anything else. I love their crispy, thin cut fries, but I also love their little salads with the house dressing. What? Not as exciting as their other sides? The dressing is good!

A go-to lunch spot for me and good option for bulk ordering/catering needs. The Sunrise sandwich is one of the best breakfast sandwiches in the area. The French Dip is also incredible. The house chips that come with every meal are a staple of this restaurant. And that butter cake...I always have to order one of those. Sal and the crew at this location have always been super helpful in large group orders. If you call ahead and are kind to the employees, they'll help out in labeling boxes and such, as well as delivery.

great spot for a quick lunch during a work day. ordered the chicken pesto sandwich with a side salad and thoroughly enjoyed it. i enjoyed my sandwich with some tabasco sriracha on the side. portions are slightly all the smaller side so you aren't busting at the seams, but it was good. the salad was decent nothing special just some spring mix with balsamic.

Easy comfortable environment with helpful staff. You order at the counter and then they bring it to you. My boys and I needed something tasty and we chose Americano. Everything was prepared well. The tomato soup was served at perfect temperature and was very savory. The French fries were thin and very crispy. Their menu had something for everyone. We loved it and now the boys want to add this spot to our regular rotation.

DELICIOUS sandwiches. I've had their chicken salad club, chili, tomato soup, and grilled cheese. All hits! The carving board is unassuming and located in a strip mall but is definitely worth the stop in. The food is all fresh and the staff are always kind and helpful. I took a star off because I feel like they need to update some things but other than that everything is great.

Great sandwich shop in Sawtelle area. Ordered the Medianoche and Wolfgang -- both were yummy! Plenty of indoor seating, and parking in strip mall. Service was awesome!

Took me a while to leave this as I wanted to go back and burn this place to the ground. Service was fantastic so I left a tip. I got the French dip and club sandwiches with the chocolate chip cookies. Food was great until I was eating one of the cookies and found a paperclip in it. I've worked for over 6 years in a dinner to put myself through college and I found a couple hairs, stuff happens. But a paperclip? What kind of operation do they have there? I dont know what else i ate that I didn't detect.

WOW. We had an absolutely stellar experience here yesterday. We came in looking for an affordable bite to eat. My wife found The Carving Board on Google Maps, and I realized that this was the same place I had been eyeing up for months after seeing their menu and passing it on my way to work each day. Service was excellent -- everyone was friendly and kind, and the food came out quickly. While the restaurant is a counter-service only, the sitting area is very welcoming, and the plating is super cute and homey! I ordered the chicken salad sandwich, and it was absolutely superb. The chips on the side were stellar -- I would buy these by the bag! I also tried the s'mores bar, and it was excellent -- the Oreo cookies worked so well with the other s'mores flavors! My wife had the grilled cheese with goat cheese tomato soup, and the bite that I (consensually) stole was fantastic. Sincerely looking forward to returning here or visiting other locations sometime soon.

Yo, fellow foodies. Did y'all binge watch "The Bear" like I did? Really enjoyed season three. Hope there's a fourth! Season two finale episode, titled " Omelette" sealed it for me with the incredible omelet Chef Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri - last month on the cover of Vanity Fair) made for for Natalie "Sugar" Berzatto (Abby Elliott) and topped with potato chips. WHAAT? Normally, I zone out at the end of the day, sleep through some good stuff (actually most of it) BUT my radar was up on this. I gotta do this thing as seen on TV egg/omelet thing. Memorized it. Did it but not exactly. (If you missed it the recipe all over social media.) Unfortunately, not a potato chip in the pantry. Just tortilla chips. Faked it. "Honey, this is good but woulda been better with potato chips like on that bear something or other show you stream." "So? Your plate's clean?" "So? Potato chips would have made it just sayin'." Well, hubby was right, right again. Enter The Carving Board my pre-pandemic middle of the day lunch spot. Next door for a much needed haircut, I purchased two orders of THE BEST house-made potato chips. One for the ride home and one to make my hubby know I really was paying attention to "The Bear". The Carving Board shares parking with a variety of businesses. Be mindful of tight spaces. No cash (Don't serve coffee but 7-Eleven across Barrington/Gateway does). Credit/Debit cards accepted. Perhaps I was too anxious to get home to make that DIY omelet but I believe there is no way to tip staff. That's something I always want to do having served in the ranks oh so long ago. Feeling guilty... Thanks to The Carving Board I nailed that potato chip topped omelet! Reprise for that coming soon to our table...

I had never been there before, I saw them taking a tuna Sandwich to a persons table and when I asked about the tuna sandwich, they said it is seasonal and no longer available. Maybe the last one I'm guessing ? Then I asked to get one of the turkey ones, but to switch the bread to sourdough not whole wheat and they said ok. Got home, and it was on whole wheat,it was okay but not worth $22. House chips had no flavor. Only thing I liked was the iced tea.

Food was good! Been wanting to try the deep fried oreos for quite the while and it was definitely a delicious experience forsure. Nice and clean environment and definitely is kept up well. My only recommendation is for the staff to be more on top of it when it comes to only orders being made through your website. Please be more efficient with checking orders as if a pick up time is set, 30 minutes of notice should be an ample amount of time.

Definitely my go to! I always get the Caesar salad, chicken Caesar salad sandwich with the homemade chips. Yum! You can get a salad if you want. Unlimited drinks and that little dessert bite was delicious. It was a combination brownie Oreo marshmallow Yum.

The elder man I work for is ~obsessed~ with this place, orders the roast beef sandwich as least once a week. It's soft, flavorful and meaty! The chips are soooo crispy and delicious and the cookies?! My gooddddd they're warm and gooey :,) absolutely worth it!! I love their cold brew and the chili, the salads are good- but their sandwiches are where it's at! Always a good to-go order !

Carving club was delicious, very moist and flavorful. Also love that its on sourdough. Tomato soup was also fantastic

The sandwiches were extremely mediocre, and then once delivered, they tasted stale. Such a bummer.

10/10! I ordered the French dip sandwich and it was amazing. The service was quick and easy.

Love this place from a sandwich to a burger you can't go wrong. Mix the black iced tea with strawberry lemonade and thank me later. The tomato soup with goat cheese is out of this world!

It pains me to write this review. We've been visiting this location for a couple of years. In the past, the service and quality of the sandwiches has always been excellent. Over the last year, the quality of the experience and the sandwiches has taken radical shifts between great and terrible. When the male manager it's working, things seem to go much smoother and the quality is delivered. When he is absent, we have had three poor experiences to the point we've had to ask for refunds because the sandwich quality was so poor. The problem is the prices have gone up across the board, so poor quality is unacceptable. Also, the the team needs to focus on executing the in restaurant diners orders and not cater to the to-go orders. People that are sitting in your restaurant are expecting you to give them the highest quality attention and execution.

I was introduced to this place by a friend. I'm glad there is one closer to me on my side of town. This location is nestled in an active lot with multiple eateries. The parking area is not that big and for dinner time, parking was lacking. I was shocked how quiet this place was. I expected there to be more flow of customers. We ate outside on the patio, which has a few tables and chairs. Your meal is served on a large cutting board! I loved my sandwich (the Buenos Aires). This is a hot sandwich and flavorful. You won't be disappointed. There is a sandwich on the menu for everyone! They also have some seasonal sandwiches and meal upgrades. Price point is affordable and quality food.

Have eaten there dozens of times, the food is great, however the last time I went in to use my gift card, the manager refused to accept it. It has no expiration and it is a gift card that is given to a company when a company orders a large order as a thank you for the business. He did not care and told me we don't take those anymore, get out of here. Haven't been back since. I emailed them to see if we could resolve the issue or if there was anything that could be done and unsurprisingly no one ever responded.

Great menu and great food. Its a bit pricey for the amount of food but if you love quality chic sandwiches I recommend it

I ordered the Turkey Dinner and they quality is horrendous. The picture speaks for itself. There was no stuffing and a total of 5 cranberries in the sandwich, and it all cost $18+. Shameful really.

Love this place for a classic sandwich. I got the club and it comes on this thick sourdough bread that tastes super fresh and everything is so well put together.

The sandwiches here are so good, and I love the vibe of this place. The convenient mobile ordering is a great option--I just order ahead and walk over to pick it up. This has definitely become my go-to weekend lunch spot.

My stomach hurts after eating this food and it tasted bland not bad but not worth the price it's sold at when the meat feels microwaved

This is a go-to place when catering lunch at my office. Their sandwiches are phenomenal, always bringing a smile to my team's face. I have tried most of their menu and haven't been disappointed yet. My recommendations are the Carving Board (turkey) and Buenos Aires (steak).

This place is delicious! I love the option to upgrade my sides (instead of salad or chips) to fries, soup, etc. Consistently fresh sandwiches. My husband also uses them to cater his office luncheons and says they're always accurate and on time! There is parking in the center. The interior is sparse but clean.

Food is so so The People who work here are inconsiderate to the homes in which they park in front of for hours - whole day also some of them camp out and park so you can't share parking they will sit in there cars on there breaks smoking eating littering on the side walk leaving trash on the front lawn also seen them urinate next to trash cans when they are dumping trash one of them threatened my friend who was moving his truck from a space these people are inconsiderate of the neighborhood they should park elsewhere and be such a burden and mean mug the people who live there I hope the owner talks to the employees and makes them park elsewhere stop clogging up our streets so I cannot support businesses that are inconsiderate to the neighborhood

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!

I wanted to like this place but was super underwhelmed. - caesar chicken sandwich: the bread was a little on the hard side and the chicken felt rubbery. not a lot of flavor - fries: super hard to chew and couldn't finish them, which is rare for me and fries - the butter cakes icing was so so sweet and too much/didn't go well with the cake so i had to scrape it off to enjoy the cake but barely are half (also rare for me) - the only thing i enjoyed was the salad dressing! Very good! ordered a pick up order and the staff were friendly but holy crap the parking is a nightmare. A tiny lot for a bunch of diff spots (I went around dinner time), I had to circle out of the lot twice (onto two super busy main streets) and ended up just hazarding my car in a corner and running in and out.

So buss oh my gosh The tomato goat cheese soup was sooooo good. The workers are so nice & it came out fairly quickly yet definitely fresh :)

Tucked away in a little shopping plaza, the sandwiches here are delicious. We got the buffalo grilled cheese and the traditional (essentially a marker your own sandwich). Fresh ingredients and the sandwiches are served onan actual carving board. Lots of variety, will definitely be back again. Easy lot parking too.

The food was excellent. The Kale pasta salad and tomato soup was great. The ingredients are healthy and the food is fresh. I recommend the place!

I ordered the Turkey Dinner sandwich which was ok but far from a turkey dinner. First and foremost, while the turkey was carved, there was barely any on it for a $16 sandwich. No stuffing whatsover. The manager sold it like it was the second coming of Christ and I was very dissapointed. I had a better Turkey Dinner sandwich from TRADER JOES!

I really like the sandwiches and the atmosphere here. The parking is a little tight, but the presentation of the sandwiches and the quality of the bread I find to be a very high quality. Service is very friendly. When I show up for a quick bite, it is late afternoon on a weekday and it is not overly busy. Their salad dressing is so delicious. I wish that I had the recipe. It is casual so please be a realistic about your visit. it is family friendly and I see a lot of people come with a quick bite and chatting with the music not being overly loud. I recommend to friends. By the way, the butter cake is very rich but SO good.!!!

When I'm On the Westside and want a juicy burger or sandwich this spot never disappoints. Friendly service and a clean location to munch .

I came here to pick up a quick lunch on a Monday. It's in a small plaza and the parking lot had plenty of spots. Its a very casual place. You order at the counter and seat yourself. Service was okay, it took a while to get my food, but there were a bunch of tables available to sit and wait at. I got the Buenos Aires sandwich, which is a steak sandwich with chimichurri, mushrooms, and roasted red bell peppers. It was good, but nothing to rave about. The steak was flavored well and I'm a sucker for anything with chimichurri. At the price of $15.50, I would've expected a larger sandwich, but it was pretty small. However, it does come with your choice of a side salad or chips. I chose the salad with a vinaigrette dressing. The vinaigrette was a little too sour for my liking, so I'll probably chose the chips next time. But I didn't come here for the sandwich or salad. The real reason I came here was for the fried Oreos. They're $6 for 4 Oreos. They were delicious and perfectly fried and come drizzled with chocolate syrup. I would come here over and over again for just the fried Oreos.

We have been to the Carving Board a few times now & we really enjoy it. The variety of sandwiches & sides are always great. I've had the Turkey Dinner Sandwich, French Dip & now the Chicken Parm. All have been delicious! For the sides we've had the French Fries, Coleslaw, Kale Pasta Salad & Chips. I'm not a big fan of shoestring fries so I don't get those but my kids really enjoy them. I really like the Kale Pasta Salad and the chips, both are delicious. The staff is always helpful & provides great service. The interior has a nice comfortable design. I really like how the food comes out on wooden slabs. Overall, we really like the Carving Board!

I've been to the carving board at several different locations. Since I was in the area, I decided to try this one. The menu at this location didn't have a lot of the smaller items they have at other locations. Nevertheless, the sandwiches are always excellent. My only complaint is that there was not much variety available.

Ordered the Fish n Chips sandwich and it was SO DAMN GOOD. Idk what they put in this but the fish was cooked perfectly, quality cut too not tilapia, breading was light. Show string fries stays crispy and not soggy.

Thick, hearty sandwiches are found here! The chicken salad is very thick and moist! The bread is very soft and fluffy, and the inside is juicy. However, I didn't really care for the raisins: it made the chicken salad a little too sweet and didn't have enough texture to really balance out the sweetness. I feel like the chicken salad needed a bit more of texture, else it just becomes a mushy bite in the middle. The grilled cheese was my favorite! The margarita tomato inside was a nice contrast to the buttery bite of the cheese. Dipped in the tomato soup, it was a great balance of acid and fat. The french dip sandwich was meaty and a little on the dry side that would've been moistened by the dip, but I found that the dip was somewhat lackluster. The an jus was not flavorful enough; it was watery and felt like it needed more salt and a thicker texture, since it didn't cling onto the sandwich that well. The onions were very nicely caramelized and seasoned. The house made chips are crunchy and perhaps a bit hard, but tasty!

Not sure what happened to this location. I used to come here often but in the past year it's changed in terms of customer service and cleanliness. Most recently the place was completely empty and I waited there for ten minutes before someone came up to me and asked me if I wanted to place an order. On top of that I saw that the the food preparation was done without gloves and the dining area looked like it had seen better days. Kinda grossed me out. Most orders there are ordered via online for pickup/delivery now so maybe that's why the place has slipped on cleanliness. Hope that changes. This seems like easy fixes. They still make a good sandwich though.

Delicious gourmet sandwiches! I've tried the Clydesdale, Medianoche, Bentley, and Cobb sandwiches. All were superb and go for between $13-$17. Bread is toasted just right, and the meat and vegetables are fresh. They also have a few salad options that I plan on trying in the future. A few locations in the LA area, but I always go to the one in Sawtelle.

Food was good, kinda dry sandwiches though. I would give it another go if I were to be back in the area.

Great service and great food. It was such a cute place. Would definitely recommend to try if in the area.

Really good food. I had a Bordeaux sandwich here and it was really solid. The sandwich had blue cheese, mushrooms, argula, grilled onion, and chicken in it, so it was a super bomb sandwich. The cheese wasn't too overpowering and it was really good with the salad that came with it since the salad had a vinegar dressing with it that really balanced the cheese flavor out I would come here for a quick bite. Fast service and good food

First time ordering from them delivery thru Postmates. I got the chicken salad club sandwich with potato chips. The sandwich was very tasty! Came with walnuts, onions, butter lettuce, vine ripened tomatoes, dried cranberries, thick bacon on a warm brioche bun. I got it delivered so the bun was not warm and the potato chips were stale. Only disappointment there. The chips were not fresh and you could tell. They came in a little white paper bag so maybe that's why they were stale since they were not in an airtight bag? Not sure. You had your choice of salad or chips, next rime I will go for the salad. Outside of that, no complaints on the sandwich itself.

Burnt Burger was just the start! I don't know what happened to this place. It used to be good, but everything about this burger's ingredients and prep was horrible! When it's one detail it's an accident but when it's several there is a problem! $20 burger, not ok!
