Ill just say this, flatland can do no wrong. I've reviewed the fantastic beer before but this review is mostly going to be about the quality of the food. My wife and I stopped by on a beautiful Sunday afternoon for some birthday brews and an early dinner. We ordered a couple of beers, sat outside to enjoy the fresh air and warm sun. My wife had a pilsner which she throughly enjoyed and I ordered a recently dropped wc ipa which was pretty much perfect! Now comes the best part of our visit. The food! My wife had a chicken cesar salad with bacon added. I ordered a tri tip sandwich with potato chips. My wife loved everything about her salad. The chicken and bacon were perfectly cooked and the salad was fresh. My sandwich was hands down one of the best tri tip sandwiches that I have had. The ciabatta bread was perfectly toasted, there was a killer pesto sauce and a cheese on there that tied this together in the best way. I havent even got to the tri tip yet which was very flavorful and perfectly cooked! Just a great experience at a great place! read more

For some reason Yelp is saying I have an unfinished draft even though I posted a review years ago so hopefully this'll fix that glitch lol. You can't go wrong with this place. The food, beer, service and ambiance are all excellent. Their beer was and still is delicious and refreshing. The addition of The Pizza Peel kitchen in 2020 only made things better since it allowed them to have a permanent food vendor and everything they make is high quality. The only negative think I might have to say if I was forced to is that parking can suck on certain days/events since their main parking lot and the lot behind the building aren't that big. There's also technically street parking but most of it is taken up by big rigs/semi trucks. It's a nice spot that I find myself at regularly. I'm glad they've been able to weather the storm in this town after we've just had 2 breweries close in less than a year's timespan. It's a good experience every time I come here. read more

Have come back here a few times after this, and maybe their brews after weren't as good? we tried the pizza (arugula, prosciutto, etc) and it was convenient, but taste was kind of off? Save the pizza for Old Town Thin crust pizza if you're wondering! They do bingo and trivia some nights, which is cool. Definitely more of a small-town cozy feel that's a bit more dark inside and wooden benches outside. read more

Elk Grove's first and still the best brewery! We've been coming here since it was a brewer's supply store with 4 beers on tap......before it was even called Flatland Brewing! read more

Loved the service here. Very family friendly. We came here for the trivia nights which was very fun. Their selection for beer is great and they are great at recommending for whatever I am feeling like. I ordered their pizza which was very tasty, I wish the crust was a little more crispy. I love the New York style, but I think it's still worth a try! We had other finger foods which were solid to snack on, but I think the pizza is more worthwhile. read more

Stopped on our way South - wow! I wish we could take this place home with us. Great beer, greater people, loved the cauliflower crust pizza. Easy five stars. read more

My guy and I stopped in today because I was eager to try their variety of sour beers; he's more into seltzer, but I'd seen that they had at least a couple on tap for him to drink while I did my beer thing. Though it seemed pricey, their food menu looked good too. I opted for the taster flight of 6 x 4oz pours, and he got the Margarita seltzer. The service was pleasant enough, but unfortunately the ambiance turned us off due to the amount of rug rats there. On a Saturday afternoon, there was an inordinate amount of kids with their parents present, post-soccer game and just dining-in in general. As a shameless childless cat lady, being surrounded by munchkins wasn't my jam. I'd appreciate if people would leave their kids at home and realize that other adults who go out to drink don't necessarily appreciate having kiddos as part of the mix. If this doesn't bother you, you might be into trying Flatland on the weekend. I'd give them a try on a weeknight in hopes that there'd be less to no minors present; otherwise, I'd take the booze to go and find a more adult-friendly brewery in the area. read more

My wife and I are ALWAYS EXCITED to go to Flatland and Pizza Peel in Elk Grove. These guys know what it's like to provide top notch customer service, incredible tasting products, and overall friendly atmosphere! It's simply the BEST brewery and food spot in Sacramento, PERIOD! Jared and Sam and the Pizza Peel crew are always so courteous and engaging. The Flatland staff (Angel, Lucas, Allie, Kayla) truly represent kindness and customer love and satisfaction. Andrew and Michelle are extraordinary owners and appreciate their clientele at every moment. We are honored to come to Flatland every time we visit! THANK YOU ALL!! read more

We just went yesterday -- first time since their expansion. Oddly, I liked their beers more when it was a smaller space. I tried a couple of their hazy beers, lager and their whiskey barrel aged stout. None stood out to me. However, I've been to Flatland enough to know they do make great beers and so I'll go back during the summer when it won't be too cold to sit outside. I also miss the long table seating they had by the beer tanks, but glad they were able to expand for more customers. The service was fine. read more

Flatland Brewing - Now time for some beer! - Breweries Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Beer is good. Food is ok and it's an order yourself, pick up said order and return silverware and they ask for tip kind of place...

Friendly service and great beer! Our favorite brewery in town, as they have good rotation and selection. In a funky area with limited parking, but don't let this stop you from checking them out. I guarantee you won't be disappointed! Also, game nights on Weekdays and Thursday are a blast! Bring your team and win $$ off your tab! Cheers read more

Flatland Brewing Co. is hands down one of my favorite spots in Elk Grove! Every beer I've tried has been amazing honestly, I don't even have a favorite because they're all that good. The flavors are always on point, super fresh, and really creative. The food? Delicious. Perfectly pairs with the drinks and makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend if you're into great beer, good eats, and a local spot that gets it right every time! read more

The staff pouring beer were lovely. Beer was fantastic. Great vibe. Packed on a Monday night so you know they are doing something right. We really enjoyed our cauliflower crust pizza. Everything was close to perfect. The staff serving the pizza might consider speaking to customers in a kinder and more welcoming manner. Other than their rudeness, it was exceptional. read more

Since coming here the first time we have now made this place a staple in our date/family venue. I absolutely love the Broseidon which is my favourite beer right meow. Finally made it out for brunch. Brunch was great, we had the breakfast pizza and chilequilles. I had a michelada with a hazy which ended up being super fire. The service here is always on point whether its saying hi to Sam whenever he walks around or a friendly knowledgeable beer tender. Always on point. I look forward to spending my days off here. read more

I checked out Flatland Brewing last Friday because they had 90s night in which they had a DJ spinning all of the 90s R&B and hip-hop hits. I was so happy that they had non-alcoholic beverages and food available for purchase because I don't drink. Even though the pizza was expensive at $22, it was super delicious and filling. The non-alcoholic beverage was very refreshing. The ambiance is super clean and chill. There were even surprisingly kids eating, hanging out, dancing there. The only con of the place is that parking is very limited there. So, you most likely would have to park in the parking lot diagonally from the brewery. Other than that, I would come back. read more

Great brews and food. We came here on Saturday evening 5:30. The interior was not packed at all and we received fast service. We ordered a four pour sampler and the stag new release. The beer amazing. We also ordered the bacon jam burger and the ceasar salad. Yum. Will definitely make this a go to brewery in the future!! read more

Flatland Brewing - Bacon jam burger and Caesar salad - Breweries Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Cool little spot. My man liked his beers and would go back to try others with the guys. We ordered burgers from The Pizza Peel food truck located on the patio. Took about 30 min to come out on a Friday night. The patio was closed for an event so we had to wait for a seat inside. The bacon Jam burger was juicy AF lol, grab napkins! It is a salty sweet burger with slabs of Brie cheese, arugula, pickles and some house sauce on a brioche bun. Came with potato chips and a extra house pickle and slice of Chile pepper on the side. It was cooked well ( some pink left inside) and was tender and flavorful. It was a bit sweet for me, but I enjoyed the meat and the pickles taste homemade. My boyfriend enjoyed it and would order it again. He didn't like the chips much but I liked mine, nice and salty. I was hoping for fries but they did the trick. Anyway I'd come back and try a taco. read more

I'm genuinely puzzled. I pass by this place twice a week after golf and finally decided to give it a try on a Saturday morning. Big mistake. The wait for food was unbelievably long--and the staff? Shockingly rude. It felt like we were inconveniencing them just by being there. To make matters worse, they've replaced human interaction with a clunky barcode ordering system. It's not intuitive, and it demands way too much time and focus just to get a simple order in. My friend spent nearly 4 minutes trying to navigate it. Asking for a few samples of beer seemed to bother them. If they change the system and train staff and teach their wanna be chef manners they will take a step in the right direction Otherwise I recommend you don't go here for that and several other reasons. read more

A very chill place to grab drinks with friends. I went there with my girl to check it out. Grabbed chips and dip and 4 beers. Fair price and staff is friendly there. Only thing is when this place gets packed. There is no parking read more

We came for my husband's birthday. The staff were so friendly and accommodating as well as the pizza and beer was fantastic!! They have a great area outside that we were able to enjoy. Definitely will be back!! read more

I have to say my recent experience here was a 10/10. We went with our 9 year old daughter who quickly located the board games. I ordered the original grimsicle and it did not disappoint. I was not sour at all. The flavor was light with hints of citrus. My spouse order the season orange slush drink. It was so refreshing especially during these very hot days. Side note for the kiddos they have Capri sun drinks and soda cans. The server at the counter was incredibly nice. We didn't get a chance to order their hot food items because we were meeting friends for dinner late that evening. Overall great place and ample parking. read more

The best place to have a real beer, music is perfect the SERVICE on top, suuuuuper recommend

Overall, visiting Flatland Brewing was a really great experience. Came here for a Friday date night to have some beer and pizza (from The Pizza Peel, operating out of a shipping container outside of Flatland). Knocking off a star from the rating because the pizza was burnt completely black on the bottom and one of the glasses had remnants of someone's lipstick, which was quite unappealing... They have QR codes for the food menu. (I was trying to look at the pizza menu beforehand and couldn't find anything.) The pizza was very good, especially with the beer. I had the pizza called "All The Things" with both meat and veggie toppings. The beers were unique and for the flight of tasters they give you a paper to write down a selection of six beers (from the beers that have the price of the taster listed, not all beers have tasters available). Green Tease was very light and an interesting taste. I've never had a beer from tea before and thought that was different. Tropical Contact High was a bit too tart for me to really enjoy it. I also tried Pool Floaty Party, Pineapple Dream, Issa Vibe, and Giving up the Ghost. In my opinion, Pool Floaty had a stronger pineapple taste than Pineapple Dream, maybe because the latter had more hops? In any case, I enjoyed sampling each of the flavors I tried. I'll definitely continue to visit Flatland and look forward to tasting their innovative menu of changing beers. read more

Nice brewpub. I like their somewhat small inside space and definitely their more expansive outdoor area. - Good beer with quite a few varieties with a range of ABVs (I really don't need to be drinking 7.0%+ beers anymore). - Food is available from a cart in the outdoor area that seems permanently installed. The bacon jam burger rocks even if it's a bit messy. Not as much a fan of the pickled veggies. - Parking is challenging. Friendly place. Recommended. read more

First time coming here to this hidden gem. It is a little hard to find and the parking lot is small, so we had to find street parking but there was a nice wooden sign to point us in the right direction. As far as beer goes, we got a tasting flight since I had an Elk Grove Local Pass so it was free. Kinda sad that this visit did not have any stouts or porters on tap- I love them dark but they did have some different flavor combinations that were intriguing. Didn't do any food this round- we realized it was kind of hidden by the back patio- but there is a QR code on the tables for customers. The only small things that missed the 5 stars. Looking forward to attending a trivia night here (Thursdays) sometime. It's well designed inside with the logo on metal art on the walls, to the glasses, and on their merchandise. It's nicely decorated and decently spacious inside and a big plus is that there are TVs inside as well. read more

Atmosphere is cool and food was good. Only complaint was that it took a while for our food. When it was 10 min past the time they said it would be ready we had to go approach one of the servers/food runners who then informed us that their system went down and it would be an additional 20 min. No communication prior was a little irritating but food was very flavorful read more

Hidden gem in Elk Grove. Wouldn't know unless you knew. My friend brought me here. I love sours and omg I fell in love after I had their sours. Best sours I have ever had. I don't like beer because it doesn't taste good to me and it makes me bloated. Drinking a sour is like having a dessert beer but not sweet. I didn't know that there was food until my friend brought out the pizza. As soon as I saw the pepperoni I already was in love because I love crunchy curled pepperoni. The pizza bread was not too thick and it was soft and chewy, just the way I like it. It tastes perfect with a beer. The ambiance was great. Inside was very cute- a darker atmosphere. I liked the outside seating with the market lights, wooden benches and heaters. Everyone should give this cute little place a try. read more

Brew was great! Service was great! Outside patio was fun!!!!! Also, the pizza onsite was pretty good.

I'm not a big beer drinker but I like Flatland for several reasons, including the ambiance, selection of non beers/seltzers for folks like myself, and because they allow outside food (you can also order and grab food from next door). The interior is rustic modern and very cute with string lights. Staff is also very friendly and knowledgeable. It was rainy that day, but the patio looks like it would be great to enjoy during nicer weather. We will definitely be back! read more

One of my favorite brewery in Elk Grove! Lots of sours/smoothie sour and hazy ipas. We ordered a flight of 8 beers to try as many as we can. Some are only can pours, so you cannot get it in a flight. Prices are ok. Only indoor seating but the garage door is open so it's really aired out. We love the Keep Beer Weird Sour (keylime, banana, pear) and Beachfront Avenue Tropical Sour. Mangonada Madness sour was not bad too. Autocorrect triple milkshake IPA , Tonic immobility hazy ipa, and Murkin 9 to 5 Hazy Ipa were good too. They also have Lager, Pilsner, West coast IPA, Stout. They had a deal of 10% off bill if you buy 3 packs of cans to-go. One restroom inside only. Parking wasn't bad. Just park on the street if the private parking lot is full. They allow outside food. read more

Wanted a quick bite to eat after son's baseball game and this was closest brewery with food. Usually breweries that serve food have a pretty good menu and this looked promising based on my research. Well looks can be deceiving. One dark beer on tap, and I must say it was AWESOME. The food was below average. My son's teriyaki chicken sandwich was very small and completely drenched in sauce. My turkey and prosciutto sandwich was tasty, but potato chips as a side instead of fries (on both sandwich plates) was disappointing. I ordered an $11 kid's pizza figuring my son would be hungry after his game. We both laughed out loud when we picked it up. Extremely small and it actually looked like a frozen pizza that had been put in the oven. They were having trivia night and that was pretty cool, but overall a place that I'd rate as below average based on their lack of dark beers and poor food. When sending $50+ on food at a brewery, I expect much better than we got. An improved kitchen is drastically needed. Service, atmosphere, and seating area were all excellent. The food was not. read more

The customer service at this brewery is always above and beyond! The staff are friendly, hard working and caring. The beer is delicious and always an amazing variety with frequent new releases! The IPAs, sours and stouts are each distinctive and highest quality. We bring Flatland beers to friends in other cities and get amazing compliments! We love coming to Flatland to watch a game in the taproom or sit on the shaded patio under the misters and visit with friends. The food and service from their food partner the Pizza Peel is outstanding and always a fantastic variety! The Eggs Benedict on weekend brunch and any pizza for lunch or dinner are some of our favorites! read more
