Gordon Biersch

Went in for dinner this past weekend. Ordered the BBQ burger with fries, calamari, and a crème brûlée. The burger was pretty damn good. I’m not a fan of garlic fries, so I probably ate maybe half of those. The calamari was decent but the portion for an appetizer was kind of small. The crème brûlée was probably the worst I’ve ever had, not sure what the deal with that is. If I go back, I’ll probably stick with the burger.

Second time coming to this location. We were happy once again with our dinner and the kids loved their meals. I ordered the Gorgonzola pear salad and it’s was lite and refreshing and perfect the way it is. My kids got a hamburger and fries and pasta and mashed potatoes. The kids portions are really good and filled my kids up. We will for sure be coming back again

I’ve long held the view that Gordon Biersch is significantly underestimated as a player in the craft beer scene. They were one of the last bastions of Reinheitsgebot until recently. Alas, The market has spoken and you will now find various double IPAs and black IPAs and red IPAs…
I can’t lie-​I was hugely disappointed the last time I went in because they did not have the Czech Pilsner on tap. That is one of the best beers going and it’s criminal to not have it be a permanent part of the tap lineup. Regardless, their brewers know what they’re doing and I would argue that anything they have on tap is a cut above. The food is a bit pricey but very good. Luckily, I go there for the beer and they’ve got a great happy hour.

Tried for the first time today. Arrived just in time for happy hour so we decided to sit in the bar area.
Happy hour menu is the way to go if you’re not super hungry or if you want to save room for dessert.
$ 40 for two included grass fed beef sliders, mini brat sliders, 2 GB beers and the warm
Apple bread pudding for dessert.
Everything was excellent including the service!

4:15 dinner tonight, it was us and wait staff. Service was good. R had the veggie burger, she said it was an 8. I did not try it, veggie burgers scare me. I had the Red Snapper, and it was good. I think it was frozen, but getting Gordon to get me fresh snapper is asking a lot. A bit less taste than fresh, but I enjoyed it. Both fries, sweet and regular were good. The true measurement of fine dining. I can’t remember not liking the food at any GB.

I was very surprised of this place the food was grate and there menu options are German inspired stated off with the bratwurst and pretzel both very tasty the crab dip was just OK would not order again I had the chicken schnitzel it was amazing perfectly cook the breading was lite so you could taste the lemon caper sauce wife had the Bourbon salmon she liked it the sauce make it the service was very good to but we where one of the only tables in the place the only bad thing was the cream brulee it was horrible I couldn’t even eat it it mite be my new place over bj Brewery

Hats off to the whole Gordon Biersch — Glendale, AZ team. We had an amazing group outing thanks to the staff who offered amazing service and couldn’t have been more accommodating. The private room was fantastic for our whole team who couldn’t have been in better hands. Service was prompt and spot on. A huge thank you to Kenny for coordinating our event and our ever changing guest count and his amazing team– They made our night!

Always looking for a different place to eat. Bookmarked this place several months ago and it was lunch time with no plans.
Short drive from home. We got there around 1:00 and the place was almost empty.
I believe this would be a good place to bring a group of people. Everyone should be able to find something they liked.
Met at the front by a extremely friendly person. We were seated and our waitress came by and took our order. I got the California burger without a bun. Some places have trouble making a burger without a bun and making it look like it is still a full meal. They did a very good job doing this for me. My meal was good. The attention they play to their guest is excellent. I will definitely be back.

We recently moved to Glendale and really enjoy this restaurant. The garlic fries are delicious. I’ve also tried the Kobe Beef Sliders and the California Tacos. Both were very good! They have lots of small plates to choose from, which is nice. The servers who have waited on us have always been extra friendly.

Bomb slider Brats! Kobe beef sliders with the Brie was to die for. Some of the best garlic fries we have ever had. Chocolate Budino cake actually taste like a soufflé. It was HEAVENLY. When we got there, the little Asian hostess had a rotten attitude. She was really rude and actually rolled our eyes when we told her we had 7 people. I’m assuming it’s because we took her away from cleaning her menus. Wait staff did a really good job making up for it.

Overall, not impressed mainly for the food. It’s mediocre and kind of reminds me of a Ruby Tuesday. They have a hard time getting the cook on their steaks right.
This place is not good for private dining. Their private room is a narrow room off the main dining room separated by curtains, so the noise level is there. Also, they can’t manage timing because half the table received their food and the others took a good 10 minutes so the first waves food died on the plate. Not good!
Only positive was the wait am staff was friendly and beer was good.

Beer and food are great. Patio by fire place seating is disgusting. Hair on the table old food dried on and wicker furniture in disrepair.
Talked to the manager and said it was a cap issue. No excuse for the gross patio that needs a good power wash.
Hope the kitchen is cleaner than the patio.

Excellent menu! Stupid gnat was harassing my husband and me the entire meal, so I knocked off a star for that. Get rid of the pests and I’ll update my review. :)

I love Gordon Biersch but especially love this location. The staff is friendly and very attentive. The private event space is fantastic.
I have dined here many times and have never been disappointed. I have also used the private event space for a number of events. This space in particular is great for a large group of 30+ people. Thank you Gordon Biersch for a wonderful experience. I will continue to come back again and again.

Good service great food Kobe burger awesome also manager was very professional very good awesome place to go before the game

Great food and drinks! We had a rough start to the night, thanks to the hostess and server for saving the night. We had the burger and fish and chips. It was great.

Enjoy going here for happy hour. We were there on 12÷23÷15 and sat in bar. Krista was behind the bar and took excellent care of us.

I just have to say this place is okay over priced a bit for the quality of the food. I am not a beer drinker my BF is he liked the beer that would be like a stella. other than that I don’t think we will return. The menu was not impressive at all.

Gordon Biersch is a great place to go with friends for a great selection of beers and food. We had excellent service and the food was delicious.

Bartenders are amazing and always on top of thier game. Great place to stop in and have a beer after work.

Hate this stupid place!!! The manager is rude! Their food is ok. The waiter was decent, but not attentive. I would not go back here again. We tried to celebrate our friends birthday and only got shut down for being loud and fun. This is definitely not the place to come to when you want to party and eat with you friends!

Talk about a disaster! We arrived after the Monday Night Football game, so we assumed the wait and service would be suspect, but this place made a joke of our already-​low expectations.
The host told us the wait would likely be 20 – 30 minutes, unless we wanted first-​come seating in the bar. Nothing was open in the bar at the time, so we figured the wait would be reasonable. We put our name in and took a seat in the waiting area.
During our wait, we watched various people come up to the host from the bar area saying they hadn’t had anyone wait on them. One waitress came up a few moments later huffing and snatched two menus to take to the one couple’s table.
One guy walked by us on his way out and said they sat him and he sat there for 30 minutes and never even saw a waiter or even got a glass of water. His words? «The service here is HORRIBLE.»
At that point, we had already waited for 20 minutes, and with no improvement on our status, combined with those customer warnings, we decided to just order food to-​go. We placed an order with the host and he ran off to put it in.
We had hoped that would work out. Well, 30 more minutes goes by… nothing. We ask the host how long the wait would be for our takeout order and he said «probably another 30 minutes…» For salads? Wow. We left.
The overall rating for this place should’ve been warning enough, but as one of the places open later on a Monday, it seemed a fair risk for some post-​game food. Apparently this location has no idea how to run or staff a restaurant for such a busy area. By far, the worst experience I’ve ever had… and we didn’t even get a chance to taste the typically-​average fare GB is known for. It’s a shame we can’t get a refund for that wasted hour of our lives.

We had a Happy Hour gathering of 20 friends for my daughter’s birthday and it was perfect! We called a week ahead and the manager was most helpful. We pre-​ordered appetizers – the awesome garlic fries, chicken fritters, charcuterie board, and cheese flatbread – and it was served in a timely fashion. The service from Justin and Charlene was excellent and efficient! This was the perfect gathering spot for a small celebration. I’ve been here before and never disappointed. Highly recommend for two or 20!

I honestly come here for the spinach bean burger, with unsalted fries on the side. I just love it so much. haha I know i sound over exaggerating. But don’t knock til you try it. So I replaced the buns and use spinach instead, and i add jalapeños to it. Two thumbs up!!!
The feeling to this plave is like Bj’s, its nice.
The service here is very slow, but it was quick to take the check. But overall. 5 stars for the bean burger. 3 stars for customer service.

Went for lunch while travelling on business. I had the kobe burger and garlic fries. My burger was cooked perfectly as I like it and it was juicy, fresh and tasty. I am a huge fan of garlic and the fries were just heavenly!!! Crispy fries tossed with garlic, parm cheese and parsley, ohhhhh YUM… I NEVER finish my fries, I finished these!!! Our server was very pleasant and attentive. The hostess was very pleasant also. Service was quick. Definitely recommend this place if your in the area.

One of my favorite places. The garlic fries are awesome. Always good service and happy waiters. Never have to wait very long unless there is a football or hockey game that night. Bacon cheese burger extra rare is a huge burger and fries
For only 10.50.

I voted three stars and my fiancé voted four so we will round up!
Service — great! Very attentive and nice! We were seated immediately and never had an empty glass.
Ambiance– very nice upscale place. What you would expect.
Good– fiancé got the Gastro pub burger that was delicious! It had bacon jam and arugula and blue cheese. It was cooked perfectly. I got the artisan grilled cheese. It said it had avocado mayo and like four different kinds of cheese. This thing was CHEESY! A little too cheesy without enough avocado flavor to break up the heavy cheese and butter taste. I couldn’t taste the mayo at all. It needed some tomato or arugula or actual avocado to break up the cheese. This paired with the garlic fries was just too much. I could only eat half.
Drinks– the Belgian ipa was very good! It was hoppy but not toooo hoppy. The house made root beer was delicious!
Overall we liked this place ! Next time I will order the cioppino which sounded amazing.

I’m kinda disappointed that this place has no five stars. I really liked it and here’s why:
Food. Delicious in every aspect. My wife and I shared the garlic fries. I was not expecting so much garlic but they turned out great. Our meals were equally satisfying. (Pictures posted)
I ordered the schwarzbier, being a big fan of trying new beers. And I figured it was a brew house so why not. Easily one of the best I’ve ever had.
Price. I expected the price to be a bit high. It was, but for the price I can say it was worth it.
Ambience. Fresh. Modern. Clean.
Service. Here’s the only disappointing part about our visit. The waitress talked very little to us and hardly spared a smile. She was not rude per se, but not overly friendly. It was not enough to damper my experience.
Overall. I can’t say the trip was perfect, but l was very satisfied with GB and will return in the future.

While the food is very good, the service leaves something to be desired. We waited around 15 minutes before we even saw a server who informed us our server would be out soon. Our real server never came, and we waited 15 more minutes for someone to take our order. It took around 20 – 25 minutes for our food to come out (veggie burger and Kobe burger) which I feel is an unusually long amount of time for such simple stuff. Naturally, we had to wait a while for our check and then again for our change. My water never got refilled which left me both thirsty and a bit cranky.
The food was good but not good enough that I would return to such poor service.

Service was really friendly.
Nice ambiance and very clean.
Good beer.
My Kobe beef burger was over cooked — I asked for medium rare but it was more like medium well. This was a bit of a bummer because it is quite a pricey burger.

I have eaten here a few times over the years and it manages to be edible and mediocre.
We were eating there with a large party before a Coyotes game. We were out on the patio. Our server was extremely nice and very hard-​working, and obviously quite overwhelmed by the number of tables she was tasked with. (Meanwhile, the other patio server kept chatting and stalling.) This meant it took a very long time to order, get food, and twenty minutes just to get our check.
My husband loved the beers – though he kept having to go straight to the bar to get drinks for him and friends. The happy hour prices are great. He ordered the Marzen BBQ burger and wasn’t too happy with it, as it came out well done, not as he requested.
My son is autistic and a very picky eater. I thought he wouldn’t be able to eat anything there, but a friend pointed out they do serve kettle chips even though they aren’t on the menu. My son loved those chips! Very fresh and crunchy.
I had the Gorgonzola Pear salad. It was very mediocre, especially in light of the $ 13 price. The toppings and chicken were good, but it was served on iceberg lettuce with a lot of leaf-​ribs. Come on. That’s the blandest, cheapest lettuce possible. It’s like adding decent toppings to water. I could buy a much, much better salad than this at ¹⁄₃ of the price at places like Panera or Wildflower. I am glad they provided me the dressing on the side, as I requested.
I ordered the strawberry soda cocktail to drink as well and I liked it. It had an initial noticeable chemical aftertaste from a sugar-​free ingredient, but it was fine after that. The pieces of strawberry and the mint leaves were fresh and delicious.
In all, the dinner here reminds me of why I avoid the place with my family, and only visit if it’s at a friend’s request.

Seems like lunch hour crowds around the Westgate area is scarce. This place happen to be more welcoming than others. Soup of the day was chicken tortilla soup. Maybe I heard wrong or ate too fast, but I didn’t remember any chicken chunks or tortilla pieces. But the grass-​fed beef sliders were excellent, especially with tomatoes and Brie cheese! We ordered them medium rare. So it was moist and tender and juicy. Service and friendly staff is what helped this place get the 4-​star rating!

GB always a good choice.
Gordon Biersch is always a good choice, especially after a day of shopping at Tanger Outlet Mall. GB has a relaxing atmosphere and I admire the décor on the inside of the restaurant, with all the subtle references to beer.
The server’s at GB are always very helpful and take the time to review the menu and explain the various selection of beers offered. The menu at GB is large with a great selection of appetizers. If you like fries, then you should sample the garlic fries. These fries are addictive, made with fresh pressed garlic, and pair nicely with beer. If fries aren’t for you, then the Blue Crab Artichoke Dip, or Ahi Tuna is an absolutely must.
I enjoyed several of the Marzen Beers and we finished our meal with a delicious Warm Apple Bread Pudding. I look forward to my next visit to GB in the future. The prices are fair, the menu is appealing, and the customer service is great.
