This is a really big location and the food is decent, although I’ve only ever had the appetizers. The beer is well made, it’s just not all that interesting. Besides, there are tons of Gordon Biersch’s all over the country. When you’re in Atlanta, I’d recommend one of the local brewpubs like Max Lagers (just down the street from Gordon Biersch), Twains, or any of the 5 Seasons locations. Great place for a large party though. There are reservable rooms upstairs.

Really decent food. The beer could be a touch better and could have more selection, but the ambiance and food make up for it.

Standard GB, decent beers, only 5 on tap when I visited no seasonal available. They were tapping their winter the next day.

Nice restaurant/bar. The restaurant and bar blend well together. Nice ambiance. Food was good and fairly priced. Decent selection of beers. They even have sampler option to try there different house brewed beers. Recommended

This is a good stop in midtown for dinner. The beer, however, is nothing special. Their food, location, and patio contribute more to this place than the beer. Beer servings are large, so choose carefully. Valet parking is annoying, as their garage seems to fill up on a busy evening. Overall, this is an okay place.

Located in midtown a short walk from two MARTA rail stations, it is easy to find and appears to have adequate parking. Interior is open, clean and inviting. There is plenty of seating, from booths and tables for two to large tables for six to eight patrons, as well as a long bar and plenty of outdoor seating. The waitstaff are helpful, courteous, alert and quick. Beer servings are on the generous side, so you have to be careful - even when I followed my own rule of one beer an hour, I still got a little fuzzy. Menu is extensive, and the food I did have was delicious and satisfying. I tried four of their beers and found all of them to be decidedly drinkable. This is a good place to have a Meetup or other sort of gathering, especially because it is easy to let MARTA be your designated driver.

Pretty good. The inside is slightly gloomy, but the outdoor patio is very nice on 70-degree spring or autumn days. The beers aren’t particularly exciting, but occasionally are good (e.g. the Winter Bock), and for the most part are at least respectable. The food is pretty good but a bit pricey, at least for a grad student (sandwiches/burgers ~$10, entrees $15-20).

Feels like a diner café meets a train station. Very open and unprivate. Enjoyed the atmosphere each time we’ve rented the entire upstairs, but eating in small parties at tables is not enjoyable. Beers aren’t memorable, but there’s a great selection. Some beers seem to be made just to utilize the brewery and give the restaurant cheap beer costs. Selection slightly better than Rock Bottom, but still ’touristy’. jrob_21 nailed it by saying they need to be more ’balsy’ with their beers. Staff definitely unknowledgeable--probably b/c it’s corporate--we’re not tourists, we don’t want spiels, we want beer conversation.

Complimentary valet parking available, so be sure to carry some cash on you. I went with a large group and reserved the upper level, where they have a dining room and adjoining area with 2 snooker tables and a private bar with full tap and liquor selection. Food is decent but nothing characteristic. Beer was served in litre glasses with staff that was not wholly knowledgeable. Beer selection is not huge, just their in-house stuff in addition to the cheap macros at the usual restaurant. Brews weren’t highly characteristic but decent. A great place to go with a group or on a date, but nothing that should be picked if looking for a place to solely drink and enjoy the beer.

Nice little patio in the middle of midtown. Parking is an issue. Food was pricey and the menu was a bit too compact. I ate here once a couple of years ago but don’t remember the food being stellar. Pretty good atmosphere, pretty clean. OK barkeep and wait staff. I wouldn’t go out of my way, but it’s convenient to I-75/85 if you’re driving through.
