Gordon Biersch

This was the best alternative for the airport. The beer was reasonably priced and very good. We ordered typical bar fare; cheese curds, chicken strips, pastrami Reuben and house salad they were all good and met expectations. It is the best option for a sit down meal for $20 per person.

the bartender at 7:30am on monday was beyond horrible. i am very serious on what goes into my body to maintain my fitness and physical look. therefore, i check MACROS aka nutritional value on what i eat. every place that serves food must have this. i walk up to the bar before my morning flight after not sleeping all night in hopes to get a breakfast burrito here as it's the only one on this side of the terminal. upon asking, he did not know what it was. i happpily explained and got laughed at as he said no we don't have that type of stufffor one; you don't need to be rude and make me feel negative. just because you clearly don't care about nutrition doesn't mean you can pass judgment on those that do. for two; educate your staff. and update your nutritional values online. it's missing the breakfast items. never will return here now based on that single interaction.

Full 5 stars for the service and the one specific woman who has served me every time I've visited in the last 2 months (been traveling a lot for work.) This time I ordered a perfectly lovely and fresh salad with chicken added and had to try the fried cheese curds. The portion was huge and way too much for just me but they were gooey, hot, crunchy and delish. I was worried eating so much hot cheese before my flight was going to be an issue but nah all fine and good! As fast as you need it to be, friendly if you are not a rude traveler, and good choices!

I've came to SJ Mineta airport a little early in the morning before my flight and had sometime to have breakfast/lunch. This is the only restaurant that seems to have food that I want to have so I got a table to order some food.The lady was very attentive and pleasant, I ordered fish and chips. She was nice to fill up my water bottle with ice before I get onto the plane since it must be emptied through security.The battered fish was crispy and excellent, crispy outside and moist inside, amazing for Airport food. The chips are good too. The coleslaw was so good.I normally eat fast food when I go through the airport, but this is the first time and it's quite a surprise.The prices are not too bad for Airport restaurant compare to fast food chain if you can find one.I'll definitely try this restaurant again if I have time to sit down and have lunch or dinner.

Waiting 9 hrs for a flight, so time to kill and stopped here for an order of wings (lemon pepper) and a can of Guinness. Service at my table was good and in observing service to to others also appeared quick and friendly. Beer and wings came quickly. The wings were very tiny and dry. no electrical for charging phones, etc at the tables or even at the bar. Good service + *Really poor wings - *Had Guinness (in can) + *No electrical anywhere - **

If you're flying out of Terminal A at San Jose airport (SJC), and have even a few minutes to spare, Gordon Biersch is a great place to stop and have a brew and a bite. If you're lucky enough to be flying out of Gate 11, you can sit and have a beer right by the gate, and if paid up, leave as soon as your gate starts boarding. I had that very plan and it worked great!They have a really good drink menu, but pretty limited food options. I got their IPA, which was decent, and an order of garlic fries, which was okay. This is a beer/drink first, food second, kind of place. Don't expect lotsa food choices. Good only for quick bites.My server Gupta was on me the moment I sat down, and had my beer to me pronto (the most important part of my order, of course!). And I left as soon as my plane started to board, with time to spare.

Over priced, and the fries aren't even good anymore. I purchased a chicken Cesar salad to go and when I went to eat it on the plane, they didn't even put the chicken on it. Smh.

This was a welcome stop before my flight out of San Jose airport. I love all the German style beer options and went for the Märzen (because the award winning Pils was out) and was not disappointed! I've even lived in Germany and can compare. The waitress was super great. She rushed over to catch me before I tried to do the online order option that they gave via QR code in all the tables. Apparently it isn't working at the moment. The bartender I noticed was really great and friendly. The only downfalls were there aren't many options for food - especially for vegan/vegetarians and the impossible burger was $18, and I ended up going for the cheese curds as the most exciting, "cheap" option. Otherwise it was an everything I needed while waiting for the plane. There's even a good view of a plane to watch deplane and board while you wait. My only hopes would be more veg options, maybe more salad options, since the two salads were a Cesar and a garden salad. But I'd go again for the beer!

The food was not bad for airport food. the service was excellent. Perfect place to drop in for a sit down meal if you have a flight delay. I had the Greek yogurt with granola and honey. I also had the breakfast burrito without meat. it was too much to eat in one sitting but I had a snack later.

Fish and chips was delicious! Great service on a Friday afternoon. Wish we had these in Dallas.
