Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant

Few Paleo options on the menu; the soup today is chili — aghhh.
Every entrée either comes with rice, bread or cheese; chicken wings are fried.
The seafood Cobb is made with fake crab; it’s basically wheat with fish broth and food coloring.
The regular Cobb comes with sugary cranberries and two creamy dressings. I know I can substitute for a vinaigrette and then I take out the blue cheese; it’s a bread-​less BLT — not interesting.
Going for a piece of fish and mixed vegetables and grilled asparagus
Fingers crossed its not dipped in butter

Went to watch a hockey game because our hotel did not have the game on and stumbled across this place. The bar had open seating and we had no trouble finding two seats at the bar. When we sat down it just so happened to be happy hour which is daily 3 – 6:30. Staff was friendly, bar food was bar food quality, and the beer was great.

In for Lunch. Asian Chicken bites to start followed by Seafood Cobb. Excellent! Enjoying the patio as well.

A Friday Happy Hour Meetup group no less. This place said NO to separate checks, so many of our group left. Those that stayed ended up with a nice waitress. The other waiter sat «waiting» for customers, during the 2 hours I was there he got no customers… go figure!
The appetizers during a Happy Hour are $ 8.99 for 3 small tacos, for 1 example. Great tasting but Happy Hour is for lowered prices. I had a 16 oz. Wit, good tasting but again during Happy Hour a 16 oz. could have been a bit better in price.
I know now why the other 2 locations are permanently closed.
Never go here again when there are so many other brewery Happy Hour restaurants in this great town.

Their Marzen is great — excellent draft beer. Not a big fan of dark beers, but Schwarz was very good too — not too heavy with nice coffee finish. Not much to say about Golden Export, but sometimes it’s the best thing — quite decent lager.
We were there to watch an ice hockey game and couldn’t find a table with a good viewing angle, so ended up sitting at the bar. Service was quick, not much too say about food — we only had appetizers typical for any sports bar.

The food was alright, but the service was terrible. I placed a to-​go/​delivery order as it was an option offered with the hotel I was staying at. Angelica answered the phone and as soon as I said I’d like it delivered her tone completely changed and was extremely unprofessional. It seemed that she was really bothered by my choice. Little did I know she would be the one to deliver my order. Her attitude was still very much there. Maybe she was just having a bad day? Either way, please leave it at the door when you arrive.

A coworker and I were looking for a nice place to enjoy happy hour to celebrate an occasion. I love GB for happy hour, as they have it 7 days per week. They have a great selection of beer, wine, and appetizers 2.99−5.99!
The bar area is comfortable and fun. It was rather busy and loud tonight because of the NFL draft going on. The bar has four large TV screens and a large wooden bar. There are also high top tables with benches also available for larger parties.
The food menu for happy hour includes sliders, garlic fries, sushi, flatbread, pizza, and wings. A little bit of everything for anyone.
Our waitress was friendly and timely for how busy she was. Our drinks were always full. She came to check on us numerous times.
The food and drinks were amazing. I enjoyed this much needed relaxation and indulgence !

I was here in Vegas with two of my buddies from LA and convinced them to try out Gordon Biersch. It’s right off flamingo Dr make a left on Paradise Rd. In a business plaza just 1 mile from the strip. Thank you to our server Pocket and the manager TJ on a awesome experience. Had the blue crab and artichoke dip amazing, garlic fries always on point. The brew: Marzen smooth and full of flavor my fave, my friend had their Hefenweizen he said it was awesome, next level kinda stuff :) Fully stocked bar, meant we had a round of Don Julio to top it off. Yeah baby, come and try this spot on Sunday, Live Music, fully stock bar, and sports. A can’t miss!

I hate writing crappy reviews. I know some people relish it, I don’t. Businesses are trying hard. Owners, staff and managers are trying hard.
But the food just wasn’t NEAR what the Gordon Biersch quality used to be.
Calamari. Please, don’t serve this. Literally little chewy rubber bands of bland breading. Zero stars.
The famous garlic fries. Way over done and not nearly enough garlic! One star.
Southwestern rolls were yummy. Spicy and full of flavor. Four stars.
Flat bread pizza. Just a complete miss. Nothing artisan or quality or even ho hum about what came out. It was tiny and completely lacking any touch. Zero stars.
The ONLY reason I’m giving this experience two stars was because the server was doing his best to make up for really, really off food.
This is a complete plea with management. You have to review the food coming out of the kitchen as soon as possible. This is NOT Gordon Biersch quality at all!!!

Even though I’ve walked or drove past several Gordon Biersch locations in the Bay Area over the years, I’ve never been to one before. I prefer my breweries independent, as well as separated from restaurants.
I was staying nearby and figured it was worth checking out, rather than making the trek towards the strip. I’m glad I put my biases towards macro beer aside, because I actually enjoyed my short visit to this brewery that just so happens to serve food.
The beer here appears to be brewed on site by brewmaster Julio Lanzas. That alone is rare for a restaurant brewery chain. It shows in the final product. They have a few beers that you won’t find bottled in your local supermarket.
The Session IPA was surprisingly hoppy and not exactly what most people think of as a sessionable beer at over 5% ABV. Who knew a German brewery could brew such a decent West Coast style beer. No it’s not fantastic but for the price and location, there’s not much better fresh from the tap.
The IPA was a bit of a miss. It’s a bit less balanced than the Session. I didn’t taste much hops on this one. It was what I would expect from GB. Especially after trying the smooth hoppy Session immediately before it.
The Stout was a thick, delicious, slightly stronger version of an Irish Stout. A mix of Imperial and Irish perhaps?
I was pleasantly surprised with their Belgian Tripel. I’m not normally a fan of the Belgian stuff but this was an incredibly well done take on this style. Kudos to the brewmaster on this one.
I like how they have several different size glasses to choose from at reasonable price differences. I rolled with the pint size since I wanted to try several different beers during one visit, but you can go all the the way up to 23. some odd ounce glass if you’re feelin’ randy.
The service was great. The bald bartender was on top of it with me and all the other customers at the bar. He is definitely an asset to this business.
Actually after visiting the strip, I appreciate this place that much more. It’s not overpriced, the beer is decent, with a variety of styles and great customer service. Other brewpubs could use a lesson from this place.

Disappointing‼
Me and some friends decided to give this place a try since we hadn’t eaten all day and were STARVING
we sat in the bar area… We must of been invisible because it took a good 20min before someone came and gave us menus and then about another 20 for them to come back and get our orders
I don’t eat much so I ordered house salad and the steak kabob appetizer my other friend ordered a hamburger fries and a Ceasar salad and my other friend ordered steak mashed potatoes and a salad as well
You can’t really mess up a salad so those were fine … While waiting for our main courses the bartender was basically screaming behind us we could barely have our own convo
Finally course my kabob was fine no complaints my friends hamburger completely not cooked right but we don’t like to complain and we were so hungry he ate is anyways my friends steak was cooked fine but there was more fat then meat smh
We had asked for our checks separated and the waitress snatched it back and made the most ugliest face all of us were like wow she must hate her job‼
I don’t know if I would return maybe for some drinks or if I’m dieing of hunger but … I wasn’t impressed the least

I’ve been to a few Gordon Biersch across different states and locations. The one thing that stands out to be is the service for all locations. Its good service, very accommodating. Its a kinda place you can go with a baby and still relax but get a higher quality service, food, atmosphere and of course beer.
This location made my day, when I saw that it was directly outside my hotel.
They did not let me down. Brought me a sample of a new beer right as I sat down without me asking. Love that.

We went here to celebrate my mom’s birthday. We had a big party this is why I made the reservation a week ahead of time. We were all cramped together so I had to ask for not one, but two more tables to accommodate us comfortably. The second table we had move ourselves because no one would assist our server. Our server Lilly was extremely nice. She was the only one assisting a party of 20 people.
The food was okay not spectacular. My husband’s garlic mashed potatoes were hard and cold. My brother’s burger was rare and not well done. So they had to send it back. When then did bring it back everyone else was already finish eating. The even brought it back with the same cold fries.
They salads were great and filling. Everything else everyone order was mediocre. My chicken for the GB chicken and mushrooms was over cooked and dry.
The apple bread pudding was amazing. Rich and flavorful. The drinks from the bar were good and very strong.
Gordon’s is good place to go for happy and hour not dinner.

Same as before the service was mediocre, but the food was awesome. From the Signature Garlic Fries, The House Salad, and also the Cajun Pasta, not the prettiest but was tasty!

I love craft beer and a consistent experience, and so I’m a fan of Gordon Biersch, BJs and Karl Strauss.
The menu is what you expect– burgers, pizza, some chicken/​salmon/​salad/​pasta staples.
Gordon Biersch is a safe familiar environment when you just want a place with craft brews and a kids menu, in short, you are a family of 4 with a couple 12 YO, you love beer, but don’t want to fork over $ 100 for a la carte lunch with root beer served in a $ 5 bottle to those little treasures of yours.
Only reason I knock off a star is because at some point within last year Gordon Biersch changed their amazing garlic laden shoe string fries into blah, thick cut, little flavor ones while still calling them «world famous».
Um, no. World famous ones were the pre-​overhaul ones, these fries suck and are beyond blah. Much heartbreak. That and turkey burger needs much work.
Otherwise, I’m a fan.

I’ve been to Gordon Biersch several times over the last 8 – 10 years and my experiences have been good, but not entirely consistent. Our recent visit was prompted by a group dinner with co-​workers, so we were situated in one of their private dining rooms and a set menu. The group ordered a couple extra appetizers as well.
Bruschetta: Served with toasted crostini. This didn’t seem particularly fresh and was so overpowered by garlic. I really do love garlic, but that was basically all you could taste. The crostini was rubbed with garlic and grilled, so they were really nice by itself, but too much with the bruschetta.
Fried Calamari: Served with marinara and spicy lemon remoulade. The calamari was okay; tasty, but not tender and too little squid to batter ratio. Enjoyed the marinara.
Crispy Crab Risotto Fritters: Crab, pancetta and havarti in creamy risotto, served over spicy lemon remoulade. Good fritters and the spicy lemon remoulade worked much better with this appetizer.
Southwest Egg Rolls: Stuffed with pulled chicken, black beans, corn, roasted red peppers, carrots, zucchini and pepper jack cheese. Delicious! Flavorful, crispy exterior, and great dipping sauce.
Classic Caesar Salad: Your usual suspects. Decent salad.
Smoked Chicken and Mushroom Pasta: Chicken, tomato, mushroom, herbs, beer-​infused gorgonzola cream sauce, bowtie pasta. Another shrug. The beer-​infused gorgonzola cream gets an ‘A’ for effort.
Steak Frites: 7 oz Cab top sirloin with Gorgonzola Garlic sauce and Legendary Garlic Fries. The steak was delicious and cooked perfectly medium rare. I really liked the gorgonzola garlic sauce! The garlic fries were really awesome this time. (I’ve had really bad ones in the past)
Triple Chocolate Brownie: Caramel and chocolate sauces. Lacked the moisture and tenderness of a really good brownie, but still good.
Across the board, food is just okay with nothing remotely special. I would say that it was a decent spot for beer and eats, but there are so many new spots in Vegas that serve up great beers and equally amazing food. I would return for Garlic Fries only.

Ah… finally a brewery in Las Vegas! So happy we found this place, I love trying new stout beers!
Came here during happy hour which is from 3:30 — 6:30pm. Not quite sure if that’s their only happy hour. Started off with the oatmeal stout beer, which I believe is a limited beer. They have different beers every few weeks depending on what they have in stock. For our appetizer, we had the Southwest wonton nachos which is super big for an appetizer! It’s served with wonton chips, black beans, red onions, guacamole, and tomatoes. There’s a sauce that’s swirled in it, that honestly is everything!
For my entrée I had the smoked chicken and mushroom pasta. So yummy!!! I love pasta, but I’m usually very picky with it because I like a good cream sauce, but not too saucey, if that makes any sense. And this pasta is just that! Comes with shrimp and chicken and a bit of Parmesan which is just perfect! My boyfriend ordered the California chicken sandwich with a side of garlic fries. Those garlic fries… so so good! The fries are perfectly cooked with bits of garlic and Parmesan. Just perfect.
After we got our tab, our server offered us a stamp card which allows you to accumulate points everytime you come in, and once you reach a certain amount of points, you can turn them into cash towards your next bill! We so loved this! Thank you Gordon!

And then there was one. After years of happily shuttling between locations (and 2 tapping parties for each seasonal release!) that portion of the fun has come to a halt.
This GB has a prime location on its side as well as a solid happy hour featuring a small ($ 1) discount on house drafts (or $ 3 for all house drafts on Tuesdays!), $ 5 specialty cocktails and food specials. The food menu changes so often that I expect a new one just about every visit. The pizza is a menu highlight and usually there is something worth trying on the seasonal menu.
The chain’s Stein Club members enjoy a slew of goodies and offers too vast to mention. The seasonal tapping parties are one of those goodies and a chance to get a preview of the brewery’s latest seasonal from the brewers.
As long as the Stein Club is around, I’ll be a GB Life fan!

Obtained a coupon for a free beer from the Annual Bite of Las Vegas and decided we’d drop by before heading to the Unilocal Redline Rendezvous event.
Service was not very good. The waitress wasn’t super friendly and their food runner was extremely rude. He snapped at one of my friends when they forgot to bring the sauce that he had requested at the time he placed the order. That’s never okay. And when we presented our coupons to the waitress, one for my fiancé and one for myself, she seemed annoyed. Bad customer service always irks me. I’ve been in customer service my whole life and their attitudes weren’t acceptable.
Well, after the terrible service the beer just didn’t taste very good. They brew their own beer and only have their own brews on tap. The red ale was probably my favorite of what they had but it’s not worth the trip back. Yes, they have some good happy hour deals with $ 3 beers but I’m sure I can find that deal elsewhere.

I’m normally try to be pretty patient and understanding at restaurants, but there’s no reason my sandwich took well over an hour.
They’re not busy, in fact, almost empty, yet I was told the kitchen was too backed up.
The manager dropped off the food and made no mention of it taking over an hour. I don’t expect anything other than just a «sorry» in passing, but not even a word.
The food alone is maybe a 3 star. Definitely a disappointing meal. Don’t fall for the «legendary garlic fries» as they’re literally just fries with a ridiculous amount of garlic on top of them.
I have to give the server credit for recognizing their screw up. She comped the meal and wouldn’t let me pay despite telling her it was not necessary.
Usually I’ll give places a second chance, but I won’t be going back anytime soon.

Gordon Biersch ist eine Restaurant-​Kette mit eigener Brauerei. Die Auswahl an unterschiedlichen Biersorten ist dementsprechend hoch.
Die Speisekarte führt viele Fleischgerichte, aber auch Salate, Pasta und Fisch. Dazu gibt es auch Ausgefallenes wie Curry.
Der Service ist schnell und freundlich auch wenn die Frage nach schwarzem Tee verneint und daraufhin Earl Grey angeboten wurde.
