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

Outside patio more comfortable than last year. This is a fully open place that has live music and is kid friendly . It was fun to see young kids dancing outside. Good mix of all ages. Great beer selection. Only downside is menu is limited to a few bar food choices. read more

Gander Taphouse - Cheese panini with the sausage soup - New American Near Me - Loomis, California

The food is very bad and microwaved. Also the fact that children are allowed in makes the environment not great to enjoy drinks with adult friends. Some of the staff is great. But what I now know to be the owner was insanely rude and insulting. I believe he thought he was being funny. It wasn't. The beer selection is large. But this is not my go to place for a beer. read more

Came here for the first time last week. Our primary motivation was for DJ Trivia night. When I stepped up to the bar I got an immediate bad vibe from the bartender who was very put off that I wanted to sample a kombucha. The service absolutely sucked and the bartender was an asshole. The food was also overpriced and not very good. This will be the first and last visit we make here read more

Our friends recently moved to Rocklin so when we went to visit we were excited that they got to introduce us to one of their go-to places. Despite not drinking beer, we still had a blast! It was a rainy day, so we huddled inside on the comfy couches near the bar. It was so awesome that they had so many drinks on tap, but also fun wine options and snacks. We had the best time. I can't wait for a chance to go back to enjoy the outside, and to try more drink options. The staff was so friendly, and there was so much space inside that we didn't feel cramped or too stuffy at any point. read more

Giving a generous 4 since the service and flavors were on point. The place is very cute, rustic feel with a nice patio outside! Lots of great options for beers, and kombucha beer! I ordered the French dip sandwich with the added bone marrow and potato salad for a side. Definitely recommend, it was very rich and buttery, with excellent flavor and tender cook on the meat. The potato salad was also flavorful and had bacon in it, so that explains it all lol. The boyfriend ordered that pastrami sandwich, the flavor was great but it was VERY chewy and undercooked. He didnt send it back, I probably would of since it was really that hard to chew. We will be back for sure. Bartender was excellent, very friendly! read more

Went here the other night and I have to say that it was great! I had a great Pastrami Sandwich and a nice beer. Sorry, I truly don't remember what the name of the beer was, but it was a nice light and crisp blonde. I highly recommend this place. Perfect for dates or even groups. The bartender, Randy, was really nice. He suggested the beer that I drank, the pastrami sandwich I had, and the soup that my date had. He did not hover and did not rush us to order. He let us have our conversation, took our order and went about his business around the bar. He let us enjoy our date and the restaurant, I appreciate things like that. I would definitely go back. read more

We stopped here randomly on our way home from Nevada, and I wish it was closer to me! The environment and service was great. Great beer, great food. Definitely coming back. read more

I'm a Loomis resident, and prefer to support Loomis businesses. Just got home from the Gastropub. Nothing but disappointments. First, there are no instructions as to whether you should seat yourself, or wait to be seated. Had to figure that out ourselves. Then I got the 'invisible man' treatment, one of my favorites. Several employees walked by without greeting or asking about my order. Wife wanted the French dip sandwich. I think I was speaking to the owner who said, "We don't have that tonite." No apologies or explanations. Later heard from a neighboring table, that they didn't have any chili either. No French dip? No chili? On a Saturday night? Huh? We were hoping this place would become a 'go to' place. Nope, never again. Peace. read more

Gander is a sweet addition to the town of Loomis. Occasional live music makes it that much better too! Chill indoor area with games, delicious food menu and a nice variety of local beer, wine and booch! Outdoor area is a nice feature to this establishment as well. There is spaced out seating and heat lamps. :) read more

This place is kid and dog friendly. We had a great time! IPAs for my husband and a great cider for me.

Nice beer selection. Atmosphere was a little soft since it wasn't that full of people. Meatball sandwich was good but the potato salad had the strangest flavor me and my boyfriend couldn't eat it. 3 Stars for the beer selection and the kind staff! read more

This place has a really good location with plenty of indoor and outdoor room to work with. They do a good job of keeping everything family friendly and allow kids inside. With the usual brewery/Taphouse games such as corn hole, over size connect four, and packs of cards. It's too bad that it's so loud inside even when it isn't very busy that you can barely have a conversation with anyone you're sharing a table with. And most of the employees are absolutely beyond rude. read more

Chill vibe , great food and beer. No hassle. We'll be back. I had the Cubano with salad, and my GF had the cheese panini with sausage soup. Loved being indoors and treated as an adult without hassle. read more

Had a great late lunch at Gander House.Not at all crowded on a Wednesday. Good food and great strawberry shortcake desert. Wine was ok. Next trip we will get a bottle. Too comfy to leave. Train goes by right outside the back window. Cool. I am not a beer drinker but it looked like they had a big selection Recommend. read more

Amazing time at Gander! Came with a group of 8 and it was packed but we were able to grab a seat quickly. Beer selection is expansive, service was great, and the food is phenomenal. The cheese panini, roast beef, and Cuban are on point and perfect portions. The bread is EXCEPTIONAL. Sets the stage for the meal! We'll definitely be back. We are from SF and would easily drive here for the bread alone! read more

Meh. Nothing special. Bland food. Spotty service. Same annoying song playing repeatedly on the speakers. Won't be back.

This place is so fun! Stumbled across Tuesday night trivia, and have been back several times. There is beer, wine and sangria. They also have delicious food! read more

Food was good, service was not. Friend and I sat at the bar, ordered food and a beer, both were good. The service however was awful. The bartender was rude and though it was not busy, he didn't want to be bothered. The area needed a good wipe down, but he was oblivious. One would hope that with the difficulties the industry has faced over the last year, a good attitude would be a given. Apparently, he missed the memo. We won't be returning! There are plenty of places to grab a beer and a bite...this won't be one of them. read more

Stopped by Friday night for some brews with friends. Staff was extremely efficient and super nice. Theyy had a huge selection of brews. They also had some live band that totally rocked the joint! People dancing and singing. Who knew sleepy little Loomis had a place like this! Will be back for sure! read more

This place is super nice. Great beer selection and very yummy food. The IPAd are delicious with some new regular rotations from New Glory and Recision (among others), and the food is all freshly made and I was more than happy to give it a forever home in my tummy. Plus they have shuffleboard, who doesn't like shuffleboard?! read more

Gander Taphouse - It's beer. - New American Near Me - Loomis, California

Visited Gander last Friday night to grab a drink, and it was my first time here. It was packed, there was a birthday party going, a sitting area and then an open area in the back. They have an extensive beer collection, the bartender that helped me decide which one to pick was very helpful. We found some seating, hung out talked and people watched. I didn't try any of the food, but my IPA was great! Random note, I was surprised by the several citrus beer options they had! I'm new to the area, so not sure if this is a seasonal/location thing or what but found it interesting. read more

Best of the best... amazing kind owner and workers... make you feel so welcome here! Great food, atmosphere, drinks... love this place! Always positive vibes! read more

The best, thanks for the awesome service. Can't wait to grab dinner here again! I love the meatball sandwich, the soups are always good and the pimento dip makes me miss Georgia. read more

I used to love the place, perfect for a post workout beer on a Friday. This last visit I had nothing but problems, so much so it lead to me talking to the owner. At which point he told me he didn't need or want the business from me or my friends. This all transpired over a few slices of pizza for the kids brought from a business across the street. I'm sure gander's bottom line won't be truly impacted by this review. But, I thought it was worth putting out there in case there are other people like me that don't believe the customer is "always right" but should at least be treated with respect. read more

Been here a total of 2 times. Always get the cheese board, it's got some yummy meats and cheese. Also the hot dog was delish. I also recommend the pulled pork sandwich. Now the beer they've got is a great selection of blondes to IPA's. Good atmosphere. Will be back again! read more

I absolutley LOVE this place. My friends and I go here almost every weekend. We love the relaxed environment and the staff are so friendly! 10/10 Would reccomend to anyone. read more

Good beer, great food, comfortable and chill. We love coming here and enjoying a game and time with family. read more

Been going every couple weeks since they opened and it's always amazing. Great food, great beer selection and a fantastic staff! The Cuban Sandwich is my favorite on the menu and their handmade soup is always good. read more

best tap house around! All the employees are super nice and helpful when trying to pick out a beer. I have been coming here for a few years now and I have never had a bad experience. Cheers gander! read more

I ordered the chili appetizer and the "adult" hot dog with bacon and cheese on top. I shared the chili with my wife, and the hot dog was great. My kids had the children's pasta with meatballs and they both loved it, my wife had the French dip and she said it was good. The amount of beers on tap is great, they had a very good IPA. they also had a few versions of kombucha which my wife likes and she said it was very good. The atmosphere was very nice and comfortable wasn't too loud even though it was a Saturday evening. The woman at the bar was very nice and hospitable. read more

Older guy, maybe the owner is a dick! Dude needs to learn how to talk to people. If you're a regular, they'll treat you fine. If you're new to the place or just visiting for the first time, get ready for an attitude. The vibe at the place with the people visiting is great. Dealing with this asshole may not be worth the trip. read more

Can't be beat! Great selection of beers. They also have wine and kombucha. Love the outdoor seating! We definitely feel welcome every time we go! read more

Great food! Great Beer! Great Staff! The only reason I only give it 2 stars is it has become a daycare of kids running rampant. Slamming the the shuffleboard pucks, climbing over the booths, and just running amuck. read more

Fantastic spot in the heart of loomis with a great selection of beers. Tons of space for big groups as well as decent food. Staff is very friendly and approachable. The business itself is a solid 4-5 stars no question. The reason for the 2 stars is because of the owner. I believe his name is Nate. In my experience from the many times I've visited the establishment he seems to favor the people he has a personal relationship with over other customers. I tend to sit at the bar, and in the handful of times I've visited he seems to give myself and other customers I've talked to the cold shoulder. In the short instances we chatted he acted unfriendly and smug. I sit back and observe the dynamic between himself and other customers and it seems to be a pattern. It be a good idea to treat your paying customers all the same regardless of what your relationship with them is. Just to be clear I don't have a personal vendetta against the guy whatsoever! I'm a big fan of the Gander and all its amenities. I just wanted to shed some awareness on how some people aren't getting the same type of attention as they should as customers. I'll definitely still be coming in to play a game and have a drink with friends! Cheers! read more

Food was good and server was very pleasant. When I go to a restaurant, I really want service at the table (not ordering at a counter.) I understand different establishments offer different things, but it's not my preference if I am going to a restaurant for a dine-in experience. It's atmosphere is industrial but we were glad to find it and will go again. read more
