Phenomenal food. This place sweats the small stuff to create a truly memorable and addicting menu not just a great selection of local beers on tap. Homemade ranch, relishes, and other items most places overlook. Carefully brined and smoked meats to assembled unbeatable sandwiches. All the food is great but I have a hard time not ordering the cubano! read more

I love the atmosphere and the taphouse vibe. A little escape from the carbon copy corporate restaurants is always nice. Reminds me of Tahoe type spots. Very spacious and has a couple of patios. The bartenders are personable fun and seem to enjoy their time. That's always nice to see, especially being a first timer I just tried the food. No beer. Salad was good. Wish it had more dressing. read more

Gander Taphouse - Farmer salad - New American Near Me - Loomis, California

I been here twice and had a drink looked at the menu. I really wanted to like this place, but I can't get myself to order anything from the menu and nothing looked good . I wish they had better selections for food options . Since it's more of a sports bar vibe I would think the selections for beers would be better also. The inside looks older with wood everywhere . They have TVs and a nice outside seating . The staff was not that welcoming I was not sure what to order I wanted a menu . When I went up to ask "do you have a menu" ? he said we have a lot of menus I was like okay thanks lol ? I grabbed myself a menu that he pointed at . I had to go back to look at the beer menu on the wall . I ended up getting a glass of wine he was kinda short and that was it I sat down and looked over the menu. Nothing looked good after a while. I pretty much left. I think I won't be returning it's just not my vibe. You could go down the street and get some great barbecue. read more

Well I'll be. I'll be full, I'll be happy and I'll be sitting at the bar. This big town feels like a small bar and it's the best spot to watch a ballgame. Service is spectacular and the persons plagued with indecision need not worry. You don't need me to tell you this place is worth a visit. You know or ya don't. read more

Good food discovered! Found this place as we were visiting for swim champions. The person working the bar and taking food orders was great. He made the experience visiting welcoming and chatted with me over the good being so good. The meatball sandwich was not drowned in sauce and the meat so tasted. Love it. Was told they cook and smoke their own meats. It shows! First time having Cowboy Caviar, heehee, and so glad we did. This seating inside and out is roomy. Plenty of parking in the lot. Drop by one and you will be back time and again. read more

Absolutely the worst food I have ever had in a taphouse in my life. They obviously have no kitchen. I complained about the meatball sandwich I had and one of the workers just said they would tell someone in the back. Meatballs were sour sauce was preto or ragu cheese was greasy and tasteless. My stomach hurts I can't drink any more beer. Stay away you will get sick here . read more

Wish they had a better wine selection. But their cheese board is unmatched! Their crackers. Dang.

Epic in all categories, and I hesitate as I write this as I want to keep this a best-kept secret, but against my better judgment, you have to try this place. Food, service, and the environment are Goldilocks level. If you are in Loomis, you have to stop by. read more

Gander Taphouse - Menu - New American Near Me - Loomis, California

My fiancé and I had never been to the Grander Tap house before, so we gave it a shot. Unfortunately, the customer service royally sucked and we waited 30 minutes for nachos, which never came. Of course, they offered to make them, at the cost of another 15 minutes. All in all, not a positive first impression. read more

Good spot to grab a beer and a bite. Staff is friendly and efficient. Good beer selection: there's something for everyone. Food is good: pretty good selection of appetizers and meals. We shared the Cowboy Caviar and enjoyed it. We also had the picked veggies which were ok. PARKING: lots of parking in a gravel parking lot. KID and DOG friendly. read more

Just Another fake tap house in placer county. We paid 32 bucks for this trash. Note to owner, use real warm cheese and taco chips that are not stale. Maybe get creative and add some tomatoes and other fixings that actually take time and effort. Thank you for your attention to this matter. read more

Great place with good food and great beer selection! Can bring the whole family with plenty of seating both inside & out.

Every time I'm in the area, I make a point to stop by here for a couple of pints. The location has easy parking, pretty close to the main interstate, and the staff are always super friendly and chatty. The food is hit or miss on it's portioning but it's all tasty, and they tend to switch it up here and there with what they offer which is fun. Great place for one person or many - lots of room, clean and tons of variety on tap for any palette to enjoy! Highly recommend dropping in if you're passing by on your way to or from the Sierras! read more

Someone told us about this place and how they had really good beers, so we took a chance and walked on over. It was super laid back. Chill vibes, kiddos could be there, the train passed here and there, lots of choices no matter what type of beer you got and regulars that seemed pretty comfortable with their local pub and friends. We had some drinks, listened to some music that was being played by a guy and his brother and chilled for an afternoon. Nothing bad to say about this place, a nice hang out. read more

Amazing BLT... great beer and people! Great variety of beer as well! Huge outdoor patio

Tried again but beer came in plastic cups. Only 2 bartenders with a special event happening. In the kitchen. Cheese board is a rip off! Brie is all the skin which everyone knows you take off. 3 squares of bread and barley any mustard. We keep trying but they can't perform. So sad for the area. read more

Food was awful. Not appealing at all. Probably microwaved, as there is no obvious kitchen. Service was fine. Tap House atmosphere. read more

This place is fantastic and just the local go to bar I have been looking for since moving to Loomis last year! Service is incredibly friendly, food is good and a great rotating beer list! And in a great patio and we will definitely be regulars here... read more

It's ok but not your average eatery, mostly beers, I'm not into drinking but felt compelled to get one

Fun place to stop and eat. The wines were a bit on the jammy/sweet side but with a nice charcuterie board, you really can't complain. Generous portions and a good beer menu to appease all. read more

Decent place to hangout in Loomis. Food menu isn't that good but they have a good atmosphere for drinking beer. The beer tenders were nice and attentive. read more

Great place to get a beer and good vibes with live music ! Not a huge fan of beer so I got a cider which was good! Would be nice if they added some cocktails for those who don't drink beer or ciders but overall great place read more

if your in Loomis then skip all the other breweries because this. is. IT! Jordan and Kimmy are the best bartenders! They are so friendly and always are ready with a smile on their face. They both know their products so well that they always have suggestions! Let me tell you they are NEVER wrong. God bless these girls and the kitchen staff that supports them. King and queens. 10/10 would recommend PS they always have great cider !!! read more

Gander is a great space, with good food, and an excellent beer selection in the town of Loomis. I was visiting a high school friend home for winter break over this past weekend and we decided to come check out this brand new space inside the charming and historic Blue Goose Event Center (Fruit Sheds) on Taylor Road. Gander Tap House is located on the far left of the sheds, directly across from the A frame yoga building. Upon arrival we weren't sure if it was a seat yourself type place or not so we walked up to the register, where a friendly woman acknowledged us and confirmed that we should order first before choosing a seat either at a booth, table, or the bar. We ordered $10 sammies and beers, and chose a booth since so many were empty. Service was faster than expected, but then again the place was only half full. I enjoyed my cheese panini with five different types of cheese, but my pal and I both thought the sandwich with Italian meats wasn't anything to write home about. It kind of fell apart while she was eating it. The food menu isn't anything super exciting, with mainly sammies, salads, and typical appetizers you would expect at a bar, but I did enjoy my food. Their beer menu is much more appealing. I would come back, perhaps to take a gander (*groan*) when in the area next to grab a beer, mainly because this is the only game in town as far as the type of venue goes. I'm also a sucker for the BG because it's a lovely space with a vibrant history. Hanging potted plants and wooden stairs are charming fixtures in my opinion. Parking is iffy, but there is that bonus lot attached to the BG complex, and if that fills up one could mosey across Webb Street to the general parking lot attached to the Train Depot. read more

Loved their Cubano sandwich. They don't have an oven so all the meat was smoked. The sandwich was served with chips or salad. The service was great and so was the beer selection. read more

Gander Taphouse - $11 Cubano and chips. Lemon drop cider. - New American Near Me - Loomis, California

Came on a busy Sunday with a group of friends. Dining room was dark and dank on a beautiful, sunny day- total bummer to be inside. If I wasn't with a group of friends, I would have taken the food to go. Food took a long time to come out and was pretty awful and overpriced- the beans in the cowboy caviar were straight-up crunchy. Two parties ordered it and neither took more than a couple bites. My SO's poke bowl was inedible- the rice was so saturated in soy sauce, it had to have been a mishap in the kitchen. If I had ordered it, I would have sent it back. I will say the grilled cheese I got was very tasty, although small. read more

It was our first time there. Great setting and warm and open atmosphere! The food is fantastic! I was surprised that the charcuterie board was so big and the cost was on point! The wine, the food, the people! What could go wrong? It was lovely! Thank you! read more

Food is good, service is good, but it is a taphouse so do not expect gourmet ambiance or food. It is good for what you are there for and I would recommend it live entertainment is excellent. read more

Good for beer not for food. They have a good selection of beer. However, we waited an hour for a sandwich that wasn't very good and a kids' mac and cheese that wasn't fully cooked. read more

Great food and service. The bartender has the loudest laugh in the world! Hurt my ears! Nice place . Pretty loud place

Tried this venue while in downtown Loomis. We were originally going to another brewery just down the street, but it was so packed we had to look elsewhere. A quick perusal on Yelp led us to this location, and we were so glad we did. Spacious open community tables and generous seating. Although they don't serve their own proprietary beer, they had an awesome variety, including the beer from the other place that we couldn't get into! Score! They also have some great food. I tried the Mufaletta sandwich and it was wonderful and came with a generous serving of chips. Nice flavor and presentation. Staff were wonderful and the atmosphere was really nice. We will be back! read more

Bring an appetite because the food is great and fills you up. Whatever you order make sure you include the cheesy garlic bread and some brisket. No wonder the place was packed. read more

Consistently good!! Love the servers, they're engaging & down to earth. No upsale here- everything is amazing!! Go!!

Probably won't go back. Food was not good and way overpriced. Service was good and beer selection was good.

Just visited for the first time since COVID began and was disappointed the servers (and ALL of the many customers) weren't wearing masks--indoors and outside. Didn't really see any precautions being taken at all (dirty tables weren't sanitized, for example). We wear masks to protect others. Some people choose not to take this precaution. Such is this case with this establishment. Take this into consideration when deciding to visit. It may work for you. We won't be able to go back. Bummer. read more

I am so glad this spot is open during all the COVID shutdowns. The tap house, from the outside doesn't look open but it absolutely is. They have a solid variety of American food favorites as well as a solid selection of beers and other cocktails. Harder to find seats during their peak hours but everyone is super friendly so it isn't too hard to find good seating. Would absolutely recommend stopping by here for a night out. Pastrami Sandwich was a solid choice. read more

Cute place with cold beer! Smallest $15.50 salad I've ever been served. And husband ordered the Cubano. Cheese wasn't melted and some of the meat was so hard and fatty it couldn't be chewed. Side salad is just lettuce read more
