| - Several years ago we went to a Gordon Biersch out in Glendale or somewhere across the metro area, and had a mediocre to bad experience, so it wasn't high on our list for a return visit. But then I was reading about their beers, which generally stay true to German brewing and thought, what the heck, let's give them another try. Nevermind the fact that I'm not boozing it up now that I'm exercising more. Well, I'll have a sippy or two, but that's it.
Back in early September we stopped in and my husband ordered a Gose ($4), which was a nice rendition of that type, and we shared the Southwest nachos ($10) & the fish and chips ($16.59). Everything was nicely prepared and we really enjoyed the nachos made with won ton chips. We had gotten signed up for their Passport rewards, and had $10 towards our total, so that made it a $22.20 lunch for two. Perfect.
A couple days ago we stopped in again. I ordered the chicken schnitzel ($12.99) and my Mr. ordered the artisan grilled cheese ($9.99). I loved my dish. I've had it before and it's always prepared nicely, with the chicken pounded out thin, lightly breaded, and fried perfectly so it's moist and tender. The spaetzle with fresh mushrooms is a nice touch as well. This is great comfort food to me. My husband enjoyed his grilled cheese, but it was generally a lot more bread than innards, and he said he probably wouldn't get it again. Their housemade chips were a nice accompaniment, and I swiped more than my fair share. We had gotten an email to get 25% off, so with the Marzen that my husband ordered, our dinner was $22.88.
So far, great food and great beers. The service has been a little shaky, but nothing too terrible. Overall we have a great time at this location and look forward to going back.
