    Don’t waste your time. Food is all pre-made and they warm everything in the microwave. They have a small but decent selection of beer and if that’s all you need, then you’re fine. My Chicken wrap was meh at best, but would have been good had it been freshly made.

    I usually enjoy taking photos and sharing them in my reviews. However, on this particular occasion, we were in search of a dinner spot to relax before our flight, as we had a two-hour wait before departure. The name of this restaurant caught our attention, and we were expecting a variety of dinner options. Unfortunately, the menu consisted of unappetizing dishes that could hardly be considered proper entrées for a sit-down dinner. Given the limited options within the terminal, we reluctantly decided to dine here. To our dismay, when we were seated, the table had not been properly cleaned. Moreover, a couple of side options we had requested never made it to our table. I must give credit to our server, who was friendly throughout our meal. However, he did forget a few of the items we had asked for. The garlic fries lacked the expected garlic flavor, however, the cheese curds were decent, although the accompanying sauce was insufficient to dip every cheese curd in. Overall, our dining experience fell short of our expectations, and we were left feeling somewhat dissatisfied with the available options. I would rate this establishment two out of five stars. While our server was pleasant, the forgetfulness and lackluster flavors were disappointing. We had hoped for a better dining experience given the limited choices in the terminal.

    Umm... here’s what they do when they serve you draft beer. They serve it in a pitcher which they store in the refrigerator. When you order fresh draft beer, they actually poor it out of the pitcher that’s been sitting in the fridge. End result - flat beer that doesn’t taste any good. Not cool. Not cool at all...

    We were flying home to Dallas stopped in for lunch. It was early Sunday morning the airport was still fairly empty. Food was boring and plain. For $18.49 I expect better. The sever was also indifferent to us as customers.

    Garlic fries were amazing! The burger was pretty good, wish I could’ve had pickles with it though. Cute place for an airport bite to eat.

    I decided to eat breakfast here while waiting on my flight in the San Jose Airport. Service was good and quick. I ordered the breakfast platter. Umm, it was okay. For roughly $13, I got 2 slices of bacon, eggs, sourdough toast and some terrible breakfast potatoes. Everything else was pretty good though. The only other negative is that they only had strawberry jam (which I’m not a fan of).

    Service was fine if you date at the bar, beer was okay, the food was AWEFUL. I will post the description and the product so you can see... from the smooshed hamburger bun winstead of ciabatta to the pathetic excuse for "world famous garlic fries". Chicken tasted microwaved, fries were cold, and a spoon full of garlic was plopped on the fries.... Do not go here unless you are starving. Waste of money.

    It's airport food, so there is a particular expectation of poor quality. I ordered a cheeseburger and a beer and had no issues. It was medium cooked, which was perfect for me and the staff was friendly.

    So…excellent service and even better Pilsner; but the Pastrami Reuben contained possibly the worst pastrami on the planet—and I’m pretty sure it had been microwaved…and it was served on grocery-store rye.

    The burger and garlic french fries were good. The Mai Tai was well made and the service was good.

    I went to this restaurant for fish and chips but unfortunately they were out of fish so I left. I was half way to my terminal an I heard someone scream sir. I rhought well I am a SIR😂🤣😂 so I turned to see if it was me the person was referring too. It was the bartender chasing me down with my backpack. Kenny, I want to shout you out to the world for your kindness!!! I hope you have a wonderful life and a big thanks to Gordon Biersch for hiring quality people!!!!

    Stopped by while I waited for my flight, there were zero customers, I tried to sit at a high top table by the aisle, and was told not to cause “no servers were working in that area” It was literally 3 steps away from the regular dining room!!! Just blocked by 3 chairs. No wonder there were no customers!! Seems the service staff doesn’t want to work. Stopped at the bar, the bartender was also rude. I asked for a beer , and as if delighted, he said “we don’t serve alcohol until after 6” this I can understand, but now I know why every other spot was filled with guests except them. Good. Stay losing money

    Service was really good to leave before I get the trash instead anything to eat. I didn't check google rating before I entered, and now I'm so glad I didn't pay anything here. Server is acting like who drop the class at elementary school, he needs life lesson specially in attitude. thank you and keep it up~! then you will get super 1 star~!

    Horrible service. Waiting 20 mins for a simple glass of wine while I see 4-5 other people being served before me.

    Ordered impossible burger with garlic fries, the ordered came without the garlic.. burger taste normal n not worth with the price tag.

  • 1/5 Galendar S. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff is rude and isn’t there to help or serve you. Staff make it seems like that they are not getting paid enough to give you any attention or take your orders.

  • 1/5 Christopher M. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff was friendly and seemed overworked, almost frantic - although I think the bottleneck was the kitchen. Fish and chips are hard to mess up, but the fries were rubbery and just slightly warm. The fish was terrible. Again, rubbery and chewy and lightly warmed. Anyway, airport food. You don't get what you pay for...

    Someday you may find good god and service st an airport. This ain’t it. You might think since the service is slow it’s being made fresh, just for you. Nope. In “airport stars” its average. Maybe there’s a better choice at SJC

  • 5/5 Chad R. 11 months ago on Google
    They have an excellent Hefeweizen, and the cheese curds were freshly battered. Service was fast and friendly during mid-day.

  • 1/5 Eric A. 1 year ago on Google
    0/10. Got the breakfast croissant. Greasiest I've ever had. Besides the microwave bacon & eggs. Avoid this place at all cost.

  • 4/5 travis s. 4 years ago on Google
    The food was a little bland and tasted like it might have been microwaved but our waiter there was awsome he made our experience he was very enjoyable to talk with and he had alot of jokes.

  • 4/5 William G. 6 months ago on Google
    This place deserves more than 2.2 stars. The burgers, fries, sammies are all pretty good. The rum and coke was good. And the service was very attentive. I think the 2.2 is unfair.

    Had a very nice breakfast here. We were ahead of time for a flight and wanted a place to sit for an hour. Great service, many coffee refills, we split a wonderful breakfast burrito, not rushed at all, very pleasant server. Great place to lounge!

  • 4/5 Shem I. 6 months ago on Google
    They didn’t quite Gordon my Biersch because the garlic fries were seriously lacking in garlic. How you gunna Biersch a man’s Gordon without a proper amount of garlic on his fries? Service was quick or we’d be at three stars for improper Biersch of Gordon.

    Cobb salad was clearly pre-constructed and we only got a little bit of dressing. When we asked for more they gave us a bag of dressing - it was weird. Drinks were good. Unfortunately not a lot of options in this airport.

    I have been sitting in a fairly empty establishment. The waitress has neither acknowledged nor looked at me for 10 minutes. She spoke to everyone except me. I finally asked the other patrons if I looked invisible. Their answer was no. Someone came after me and she acknowledged them straight away. She then went back to several patrons asking if they needed anything and one finally. One said no but she's been waiting. It was at that point she decided to acknowledge me. By then ,I no longer wanted to spend money at a place that didn't value me enough to acknowledge me. So naturally, I left. I train professionals in patient and customer experience for a living. This would be a failure to meet or exceed my expectations as a consumer. I would like to believe that this was an anomaly but it was the only experience I have had with this business. I travel multiple times a month and I will not be returning to this establishment. For the sake of other patrons,please train your staff to acknowledge all patrons in a timely manner.
