Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant Restaurant Review: This upscale brewpub has coast-to-coast branches from Hawaii and California to Washington, D.C. and Florida. The legendary beers, garlic fries and hearty dishes are served for lunch and dinner in a massive 400-seat dining room, as well as in the spacious bar and on the outdoor patio. Appetizers, such as a chef’s sampler of a trio of chicken favorites (Southwest egg rolls, shrimp and chicken pot stickers and glazed chicken wings with sweet chili and ginger) are turned out in the expansive open kitchen. We also like the lobster and jumbo lump crab cake prepared Maryland-style and served with house-made tartar and mustard sauces. Spinach with goat cheese, bacon, egg, mushrooms and red onions in a tangy vinaigrette ranks high among the salad options. Sandwiches include the barbecue burger with smoked bacon, cheddar and Märzen sauce. Our favorite pizza is the BLT flatbread topped with bacon jam, Roma tomatoes and arugula. Carnivores should consider the 18-ounce Gorgonzola rib-eye. While beer reigns, the brewery’s wine list also nicely complements the extensive menu. Save room for the double chocolate fudge cake with crème anglaise.
