I had been to the Gordon Biersch in Tempe several times before going to this one in GIlbert. I'm not sure I was ever in love with their food (or their microbrew), but the atmosphere in Tempe was always very upbeat and lively, which made it a destination to go out for dinner on a weekend night. But, at this location, it is much quieter, leaving you with only the food and drinks... which aren't anything more special than something along the lines of a Chilis... but, everything is more expensive.
Bottomline: I'd go back if someone else wanted to go, but it wouldnt be a place I would pick myself. Not terrible, but not worth the extra money.
