Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant

Garlic fries were amazing! The burger was pretty good, wish I could’ve had pickles with it though.
Cute place for an airport bite to eat.

Owner response

Stopped by while I waited for my flight, there were zero customers, I tried to sit at a high top table by the aisle, and was told not to cause “no servers were working in that area” It was literally 3 steps away from the regular dining room!!! Just blocked by 3 chairs.
No wonder there were no customers!! Seems the service staff doesn’t want to work. Stopped at the bar, the bartender was also rude.
I asked for a beer , and as if delighted, he said “we don’t serve alcohol until after 6” this I can understand, but now I know why every other spot was filled with guests except them. Good.
Stay losing money

At the risk of damning with faint praise I'll say that GB met all my expectations and that I'd recommend it to anyone needing a meal at SJC.
Not only that I'd urge anyone with a flight out of Terminal B to make the walk to the other side to eat there. I'm a bit spoiled by flying out of Portland OR where any establishment with a presence in the city proper to offer airport fare at the same prices they charge in town, so it's a bit unfair to complain about prices elsewhere.
With that said in comparison to what other sit down places charge at SJC GB is reasonable. As for the rating, no one can reasonably expect a finely appointed atmosphere, sophisticated dishes, or gracefully attentive service at the airport.
It's enough to have a pleasant meal, promptly delivered that allows you to have a chance to relax and enjoy yourself before heading to the gate. It would be unfair to restaurants whose mission is to deliver a complete dining experience to give something at the airport more than 3 stars, so with that and the preceding comments in mind GB is a perfectly good place to seek out a meal (and if you, unlike me, are a beer drinker something to go with that meal).
