Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant

Horrible! Just went there this Saturday 0n Jan. 30,2016 and I don’t know how this place is still open. I hadn’t been there in years because they can’t cook and the food is horrible. I had a simple filet with shrimp and ordered it medium well. Once it got tot my table it was still moving. Then one of my co-​workers ordered a cheese burger and after seeing my steak checked his burger and it was still bleeding! Ughhh. We asked the waitress who was cooking and she replied, oh he’s new. What a joke. Hadn’t been in years for a reason and for sure, I will never be back! Sticking with DRAGOS, CHOP HOUSE, HOUSTONS, and NEOWS. Stay away!

I have been to other Gordon Biersch and went to this one because it was close to my hotel and I was too tired to walk around. The service was nonchalant but not bad. I had the house-​made shrimp and crab tacos which were pretty good. They were not like any I’d had before-​they had both corn tortilla (fried) and wrapped outside with a flour tortilla. There are a lot of restaurants in New Orleans that are great but in a pinch, this one is ok.

Delicious food, cold beers and Scott tending the bar made for a delightful experience. Even when I lost most of my winnings at Harrahs, Scott welcomed me back to the bar to responsibly drink off my irresponsible gambling sorrow.
That was my first night ever in New Orleans so my first impression was a lasting one.

Eh. Not as great as everyone thinks it is. It’s just like TGI Fridays or Applebee’s. Good beer selection though and the garlic fries are good.

To my fellow Unilocalers, just stay away. Talk about awful service, awful food and beer flight presentation that only a blind man would like. Ordered a flight of beer and when it came out it had a list of what style of beer it was and the waiter could not tell me which one of each style it was. A generic beer flight presentation with multiple beers under each type without knowing which one it was. The waiter stated it was up to the bar tender on which ones to give, which means I did not have a choice nor did I know which ones I got. Strike one. We got our food and, boy, it sucked. I ordered a burger, which was more like a single slider in size. I ordered it medium, because I like it a little pink and it came well-​done (see photo). Once presented to the server, he in all terms did not give a shit. Strike two. Strike three will encompass what the general feeling from the time we walked it to when we left. When we order, the first thing out of the servers mouth was, we are out of most of our inventory. OUT! A weekend in NOLA. Basically a holiday weekend at that, Dec 27. How do you not know how to stock up, especially since these are not just in NOLA but other places. Is the managers at this location dumb or special? What gives it the three strike was when my wife wanted a side of Ranch for her meal. Guess what the answer was on that one… OUT OF RANCH! How the fuck do you run out of ranch? Even better, I asked for another bottle of ketchup because my ran out and I will let you guess what the answer was on that one. So my first and only visit to this awful location of NOLA. Please people, go somewhere else, there are so many better places in NOLA to spend your time, money and vacation at. This restaurant sucks, the service sucks and the food sucks. And really the only reason I even tried this place because it was across the street from my hotel. So a big middle finger to this restaurant.

Waited forever for our food and when it came it was still wrong. No one cared and no one asked if how the dinner was etc

Food was mediocre at best with the exception of the 23oz Gorgonzola steak. Perfect texture temp and taste. Service was below third class. Treated as if a burden and not a customer. No one should have to ask for drinks, or even silverware for that matter. Since when did waitstaff expect to make a tip, and not earn it.
This place was recommended by a friend as an ok place to eat. I would not recommend it unless you have tons of time to waste, and do not mind horrible food and service. With the noted exception of the steak.
Waited an extreme amount of time just to get a check. Drinks ran empty until asked to refill. I do not think 2 refills in a 2 hour time span is excessive.
Manager could care less. This restaurant looks to be about pushing numbers and not quality food. You can do better in NO!

Lets sum up this place with one word: decent. I’ve been here a few times now and I’ve never really been able to make up my mind on it until today. If you’re hungry go and get a Kobe burger, it won’t amaze the tastebuds but it’s juicy and it’ll do. The crab dip appetizer is my favorite thing I’ve gotten here. The chips, garlic fries, and steak frites are items I’ve had here that weren’t really memorable. I don’t recommend the bloody Mary. I suppose I should give the beer a chance next time I go considering it’s a brewery. The service always seems to be fairly slow and lackluster. To be fair every time I’ve come it’s been with a larger group which seems to throw off most servers. I wouldn’t go out of my way to go here especially since you have to pay to park since its dowtown Nola but if I’m dragged along by a group again I won’t cry, but I will suggest trying somewhere new on Fulton like Mannings or anything else really.

Good service and the portions were huge. Lots of beer to choose from and many options on the menu. The chicken snitzle was delicious

Prices are reasonable. Service was good and kitchen was timely.
I had the Mediterranean pizza. Way too salty. The pizza was good if you could get past the salt. I would not order this again. This meal would be 2 stars.
Hubby had the steak pizza. He loved it. It was quite tasty.
The garlic parmesan fries were exactly that. I liked them.
Server knew her beers and even gave us s sample to make sure it was what we wanted.

Gordon Biersch — standard brewery and restaurant chain. It isn’t gonna knock your socks off but it is going to be ok.
We came in to grab a quick lunch before going shopping, I mean, going to the convention. The girl at the front was pretty dismissive and told us it would be a 45 minute wait if we were seated at a table but we could go to the bar area. Um… the dining room was empty except for a large party in a private room. But then you seat yourself in the bar and you have waiters there. So I am not sure what the deal was with that.
So we sat in the bar area. A waiter brought us menus. I just wanted a snack because I was going to Bayona later that night so I tried to order the crab fritters. Oh, we’re out. Ok the chicken fritters. We’re out. Ok the freaking garlic fries. So I had fries and a small portion salad. Fries were good because they are a) fried and b) covered in garlic. Salad was ok and it was a small portion.
So it is a chain and it is ok.

Never saw a chicken wing the size of a pack of Splenda see photo: don’t order the wings

Don’t come here if you want to experience good New Orleans’s food. This is like going to a mediocre Chilis, but more expensive. My boyfriend and I ordered their garlic fries, beer infused mussels, lobster Mac n cheese and Gorgonzola ribeye.
Our starters were less than decent. The mussels were over cooked, rubbery, and the sauce wasn’t flavorful yet incredibly spicy. I didn’t even touch the pretzel bread they include since it looked under baked. Their garlic fries were definitely garlicky. They’re soggy, oily, and stale tasting and COVERED in raw garlic. I usually like garlic, but these were disgusting.
Our entrees were ok, I suppose. Don’t expect Mac and cheese when you order their Mac and cheese. It’s more like a watered down Alfredo with small specks of lobster (which we were told wasn’t longostino, but it is) and shrimp. The garlic bread that comes with it is also under baked. My steak reminded me of Outback, but not as tender. I got mashed potatoes and asparagus as sides and only ate the asparagus. The potatoes are dry and bland, doesn’t seem like they use any butter or cream.
Definitely will not come back here nor recommend it to my worst enemy.

I’m ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ on this place. Love it for the atmosphere and the drinks, especially for watching football. I do not love the food. Most of the dishes are very heavy and greasy. The garlic fries are way too greasy and garlicky. Eating food while drinking here makes me want to take a nap because it is so heavy. Also, the bathroom location is a long walk if you are sitting in the front of the restaurant. The floors are slick rounding the corner to the bar area. Definitely can be a hazard with the wrong shoes on.
We like coming here, but the food always leaves much to be desired.

Came here for a friend’s surprise birthday dinner. The spinach dip was heavy, but good. I had a salad — I can’t quite remember which one, although I should, and the hubby had a burger. All I can say is I will NOT be going back. Let’s just say the food didn’t agree with me about 3 hours after dinner. Definitely more of a tourist trap as opposed to a restaurant for locals.

I had the opportunity to eat at Gordon Biersch for first time on 7÷17÷2015 for my brother’s wedding rehearsal dinner. I was eager to try it due to the rave reviews & I am pleased to say that I wasn’t disappointed.
The event room was set up to seat 26 people with a preselected menu that included: an appetizer, a Caesar salad, three entrée selections, & dessert.
We had only one server who was attentive and patient with our large party needs & requests. The kitchen was slow with preparing our food to come out simultaneously but we entertained ourselves with toasts & speeches to the bride & groom.
The glazed chicken wings & Caesar salad were good. Those who ordered the Alaskan salmon all agreed including myself that is was a bit dry & lacked seasoning, but the kale & quinoa was tasty. However those who ordered the pasta dishes stated that they were delicious (cajun pasta & lobster & shrimp mac n’ cheese) & will order it again. For dessert we all had the triple chocolate brownie topped with vanilla ice cream & we all loved it.
Thanks Gordon Biersch for making this a memorable event for my brother, new sister-​in-​law, & family. We had a great time!

I got a great salad here, very reasonably priced and a good size. This place is within walking distance of the convention center. The service was solid, despite that the place was packed (we sat at the bar). The Unilocal app allows for free garlic fries, always a plus!
Looking for pretty fast, easy, good reasonably priced food… check this place out.

Meh… not so good. We went here a couple days ago for a work luncheon. About 14 of us arrived a little after 12. The place was empty. Our waiter was new and later informed us this was only his third shift. Why they placed a newbie to work a table of 14 alone was beyond us. He made a lot of mistakes and we were the guinea pigs.
After waiting awhile for drinks, he finally came out trying to carry 2 trays of drinks. He managed to spill 1 tray of drinks on my coworker. After taking our order, he later came back and said they were out of some of the entrees and appetizers we had ordered. How can you be out of so many things?
It took forever to get the appetizers and even longer to get the main course. We didn’t understand this as the rest of the restaurant had only about 2 – 3 tables occupied.
I ordered the bourbon salmon. It was terrible. First off, the color of the fish didn’t look right and secondly it was majorly dried out. I was looking forward to a nice tender and moist fish and this was not to be found.
Some of my coworkers ordered dessert. The waiter took their orders only to return near 10 minutes later and tell them they were out of the crème brûlée that at least 3 people had ordered. He said they could order any other dessert they wanted and it would be on the house. I did not get dessert. Those that did said they were not impressed.
I doubt if I would come back here. It’s not really the type of place I would choose anyway. From looking at what everyone else ordered, the salads and flatbread pizza were the only things that looked alright.

Um yeah. I have now eaten here and I can say with full certainty that this place sucks. We ordered the burger medium and naturally it came medium well. This is irritating mainly because I only eat red meat once a week, so this was my one shot and it was terrible.
Before the burger, we got the egg roll appetizer. It was okay. I mean, it was as decent as deep fried frozen egg rolls can be. The beer? The beer was a «no» and had ZERO flavor. To refer to this place as a «brewery» is a joke. All of the beer tastes the same and just makes me sad.

We had a friend who has a shellfish allergy so we really couldn’t eat anywhere else except here. The menu is extensive.
We started with free garlic fries. Free because we checked into the restaurant at Unilocal.
I split the CBLT Sandwich and sweet potato fries. It was filling with the garlic fries.
The only negatives: we waited a while for our server to come to our table (which was not clean and had to be wiped down by our hostess) and the dirty table.
Our server was fantastic and gave us great recommendations for local places to go to.

Excelente comida, cerveza excelente un buen sitio compartir en familia o entre amigos
