Pangaea Bier Cafe

Five stars for Pangaea Bier Cafe accommodating our large group of 19 on short notice.Five stars for their great variety of beer and ciders.Five stars for their ability to get orders out quickly after ordering at the counter.4 stars for the food. $17 for my smallish Buffalo chicken salad that looked better than it tasted as the chicken was too salty. Others in our party liked their burger, tacos, nachos, chicken wings, and mac n cheese. But a few also thought their chicken was too salty. Overall, fun place for a casual hang out and really fun with a big group of friends. Biggest con is the lack of parking especially with Gunther's Ice Cream across the street. Staff are friendly and kept our tables clear of dishes.

I've always wanted to check out Pangaea after following them on Instagram. When I walked in I realized this is an order at the counter type of place. I was debating between a Burger or the Chicken Sandwich. When talking to the Cashier, she mentioned how their burger won a lot of rewards so I decided to get that with a Pilsner. I got the side salad instead of the fries. I like how they don't up charge for that. The total was $37 total including tip. After receiving my food the burger and side salad looked great! When I tried the burger it tasted average . But not worth $21. I had better burgers in Sacramento for less. The side salad was average. The beer tasted average. Overall the customer service was good, and I may come back to try their chicken sandwich and a different beer. I just wouldn't get the burger again.

The kiddos were craving burgers and fries! I've heard this place is the bomb. The minute we got inside it was self serve, it wasn't busy for a weekend. The inside was empty but spacious for families and friends! It's a great to hang out for the brewery!

We can't come to Sac without coming to our most fave place. It is always spectacular, and it never disappoints. Today we came for lunch at opening time and met up with friends. The staff were so friendly, they graciously heated up my kids food I packed for him. He only ate half because he was devouring the fries and pretzel. I can't tell you what a blessing and a curse it is that they have the best soft pretzel. You can't eat pretzels anywhere else because they will suck. Our go to: - Fried chicken sandwich (best ever) with sub house salad (also the best ever)-Burger with fries (both the best ever) - soft pretzel - BeerAnd if you are like me, you will eat a very light breakfast so you can stuff your face here and take the rest of pretzel home and scarf it down. Did I mention the vibe is super large group and kid friendly?

Great beer options, you can also buy some to take home. Great burgers and a very delicious pretzel. I'd come here for a good time and then go next door to get ice cream for dessert. Worth a try if you enjoy craft beers and a good time.

Food: The food here is good. I find the general bar, pub, or whatever you want to call scene food here in Sac to be very pedestrian relative to bigger cities where the kitchens can be very impressive. No doubt the food here is above average relative to the kitchens in this genre and definitely superior to what you get elsewhere here. As others have said or insinuated, I could give this 5 stars based off the beer list. Super impressive. Get the burger obviously. The fried chicken sandwich is also a very strong move. Service: You order at the counter. I've had no bad or questionable interactions with anyone.Ambiance: Cool and cozy vibe. Definitely not one of those curated bar experiences, which I think makes this place more charming relative to the bars and breweries in Sac.

As has been previously reported, they have a really solid burger here. We came in before a show at the Side Door down the street. Weren't too hungry so we split a burger and fries and it was perfect. Juicy and tasty! Nice beer selection on tap. We opted to sit outside and watch the bustle of this groovy neighborhood and people getting their ice cream on across the way at Gunther's. Friendly service and we were in and out in a jiffy on a Friday night. What's not to love?

Been here a couple times and the service is always great. The staff is always so helpful on making sure the beer you selected is exactly what you are looking for. The food is also an added bonus, not a lot of breweries have a really good kitchen. The inside is roomy and is also accommodating for families.

Before all of my recent Sacramento adventures, I didn't know a ton about the growing food scene here, but the one thing I was absolutely sure about was how strong the beer scene is. Not in the "it's one big drinking town" sort of way, but, rather, that folks here both appreciate and support their local craft breweries. What's more, there seems to be no shortage of places around to enjoy said beers. Then again, with the likes of Pangaea around, how could anyone not want to come out to support spots like this?First and foremost, being a bier cafe, Pangaea's beer selection is probably what will draw most folks here and I can say that it is quite impressive. Each time I've been here, their exact offerings have never been exactly the same (stuff will rotate on and off), but they always have a solid variety of options, featuring ales, lagers, sour beers, IPAs, double IPAs, ciders, and so much more. As for their food menu, it's no slouch either - it may not be super expensive, but just about everything they offer is enticing, whether it be their burger, fried chicken sandwich, nachos, or fries, among other things. Typical bar food, perhaps, but perfectly fine when you want to get down and dirty with something to go with your refreshingly cold beer!-- FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH - Crispy Fried Chicken Thigh, House Made Slaw, Pickles, and Habanero Aioli with Garlic Fries (+$4)...$19Aside from the bun's burnt edges, this was awesome! The chicken was crispy and not heavily battered on the outside while juicy on the inside. Also, I liked how there wasn't an overwhelming amount of slaw and how well it meshed with the pickles and aioli to go along with the chicken and bun.-- PANGAEA BURGER - Grilled 1/2 LB Chuck and Brisket Patty, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Pickles and Special Sauce on Brioche Bun with Garlic Fries (+$4)...$21Talk about a hefty boy! This is clearly a beefy burger, but what I loved most is how it wasn't the least bit messy/greasy. The cheddar and bacon perfectly complemented the patty and the veggies were incredibly fresh! I can see why so many folks rave about this!As tasty as both the burger and chicken sandwich were (as well as our beers), I'd be remiss not to note that the $4 upcharge to go from fries (or coleslaw) to garlic fries does feel a bit heavy compared to what I've been charged at other places. That being said, the garlic fries here are legitimately some of the best I've had, so it just depends on how much you want some really good garlic fries (for the record, my wallet may not have been thrilled, but my stomach certainly was).Upcharge aside, there's a whole lot about Pangaea that I like and not much that I don't. The food is great, the beer selection is terrific, and service was warm and friendly when we were here. Whether it's for a casual meet up with friends, happy hour, a low-key date, or just to cap an awesome/rough week at work, Pangaea is an awesome spot for a hangout of any kind!

I love this place! It has a fun little "hole in the wall" feel but everything is so yummy and they have such a good selection of food and drinks. It's a walk up and order and then find your table style. Personally I love that since it gives it more a casual feel. The service has always been so good everytime.I usually get their Buffalo chicken salad which never disappoints. I accidentally took a bite before taking the pic! And then I'll sometimes get a side of the garlic fries. They have a huge beer selection but also have plenty of other options too!! Highly recommend!!
