Dust Bowl Old Town Tap House

Great food, excellent beer, and a really nice locations for solo/paired/family visits- LOTS of good dogs- BUT: the layout for the food/drink ordering need major rethinking, as it currently bottlenecks to one POS, even with a second bartender taking orders, and the flow in the room backs up at the corner of the bar because of this, making the line look and feel long, makes a single beer drinker line up with food and drink groups regardless. Not good for staff and worse on customers.Easy fix: invest in a second POS on the OTHER side of the bar and facing the other side. Maybe make one drinks only, OR implement QR ordering by table with SMS notification for orders.

First time here and will be repeat customer! I had no idea what to expect and went in with no real expectations. Absolutely loved the ambiance ~ hats off to the designers. Very cool laid back vibe.Was there for a private party in the "private party room." The room was private enough with open windows and great decor! Ate the ~ Okie nachos 5/5Coconut shrimp ~ average Brussel Sprouts ~ 5/5Chicken wings ~ 5/5Outside area great vibe! dogs welcome!Service was attentive and super friendly! Enjoyed the STRAWBERRY MARGARITA SELTZER w/ ABV of 11!Sooooo good! Recommend and DEFINITELY will make a trip back in nicer weather to hang out outside.

I had not been to this establishment in over a year! I am so happy they adopted a menu similar to the original Turlock location. At first when they had their grand opening the food came from a separate group. We ordered the Korean chicken and the chicken pesto flatbread. We forgot to take a picture of the sandwich :(The beer selection was impressive as always. We noticed lots of families outside in the patio area using outdoor heaters. Pro tip: they have a separate closed off in door seating area for small parties. I meant to ask if you can reserve and decorate. Super cute spot for birthdays and office gatherings.

In Elk Grove, the Old Town Tap House combines Dust Bowl's signature beers with a full food menu. The taproom provides a welcoming environment for both locals and visitors. Great outdoor and indoor options. Dog friendly and kid friendly as well. Lots of parking and good food options

Recently visited for our holiday party. Good service and food. We tried a few of their items and all tasted good, with enough to share. Our server was very patient with us, which we appreciated. We were able to rent out the party open space--not bad for a price. To rent out the space during a weekday was $250 for 5 hours on a weekday. Lighting was good for photos, and plenty of room to mingle. We enjoyed our visit. Thanks Dust bowl for accommodating our party.

We ordered food to go. We've eaten at Dust Bowl before in another city and it was amazing. My husband wanted a burger and this one is in our backyard, so why not. His burger and fries were good, I should have stuck with that. I ordered buffalo wings and a Cobb salad. The salad was ok and the wings were a no go. I'm not sure what happened to them but they were nothing like the other location. If we were eating there, I would have sent them back. Service was great and they were very nice.That evening management reached out to us to make our experience better. Their commitment to customer service is really great! We will try again.

Service was great, the restaurant is clean and inviting. The food was good, especially the chili. I ordered clam chowder and it came out cold to the touch. Our waitress was great. She took the soup back and quickly brought out a piping hot bowl and fresh bread to replace what was sent back. They don't have a lot of non-alcoholic drink options. They don't have any N/A beer (not a huge deal) but no iced tea either. Only water, Pepsi or Sprite. I'm looking forward to visiting again to try some of their other menu items.Overall, it was a nice experience.

First time here. We had lunch and it was good. The restaurant was clean and had great outdoor space. It was a bit too chilly to be outside but great space anyway. The service was great and waiter was very attentive. Great experience!

Great place to spend the evening at if you just want to socialize or relax with a few friends or family members. They have an outdoor area where you can order drinks and food at the bar with plenty of seating. It's in a safe neighborhood within Old Elk Grove, and kid friendly! Service is great, everything is self-serve outdoors but servers quickly came to clear off empty cups and trays from previous customers when they saw us pick a table. They were very welcoming.Appetizers and drinks were really good, I ordered 2 beer samplers, one was all sweet drinks and the second was a mixture of strongest and strange-named ones. I'll be sticking with the sweet flavors since I'm not fully a beer person, but it was fun and interesting to try! Parking is so convenient. There's plenty of space and there's always a steady flow of people arriving and leaving so no need to hunt for parking spots. It may get a bit tricky getting onto the main street if it's during a busy hour but still not too bad.

Great Beer, great food, great atmosphere/facilities. Service was good, but ordering process could be improved. If you are sitting outside, you have to go to the bar inside and stand in line at a service bar area, which isn't obvious or marked. The ordering process for either food or drinks at the service bar area, places you in competition with customers sitting at the bar or those that walk up to the bar unaware of the service bar line or trying to avoid the line. Specifically in regard to their beer, I think they are creative and extremely knowledgeable, which is reflected in their large and varied offerings.
