Awful Took forever to get greeted when walked in, I asked if we can seat ourselves outside they said "just give us one minute", they did say it nicely but the restaurant is dead. Ordering was quick but they were out of the blueberry beer I ordered and the iceberg for wedge. I took the recommended peach cider and got the wedge with romaine I will say my salad was really good, ranch was made in house and was fire Peach cider tasted like flat rose lol Fried Mushrooms were subpar - no real flavor Friend got salon tacos with beans, she said beans were good but salmon lacked flavor as well Lastly, my other friend got burger and fries, burger tasted frozen to quick cook and fries were old and hard like under heat lamp for awhile. Table would not level and even had napkins under legs to hold in place, was incredibly annoying I don't recommend and wouldn't come back sadly Server was sweet Fried mushroom
Good food but they did get my burger order very wrong. Appetizers were probably better than my entree, drinks were delicious though! Big space with indoor and outdoor seating, but lacks parking.
Great lil spot!! Ambiance was nice and full of energy. Our server was engaging and personable. Food was good pub food. Nothing spectacular, I had the Firehouse burger with a Brioche bun. Great Smokey flavor. Fries were okay, nothing spectacular. My only issue was the beer, out of my flight of six beers, I only thought two were good enough to finish. The awakening was too coffee forward and bitter. The saison flavor seemed muted and lacked balance. The Blueberry lacked any berry notes and the barrel aged was way too Smokey and lacked depth of flavor.
The restaurant at Gilgamesh Brewing is a welcoming, rustic spot where you can enjoy great beer and good food in a laid-back atmosphere. The look and feel of the venue belies the fact that it's situated in an industrial park area of SE Salem, right near a busy road. The deck in the rear is shaded and covered with lots of seating and tables available. Both their beer and food tasting flights are first-tier! Tip: The Campus is Galgamesh's flagship restaurant, located just one door down from the brewery. We've visited here a couple of times recently, and, very much enjoyed the attentive, friendly service, not to mention their excellent food and beer. My go-to meal as of late is: - Fire House Burger (1/3 lb. Wagyu beef pattie topped with red onion, house pickled jalapeños, Tillamook pepper jack cheese, peppered bacon, avocado and cayenne aioli on a grilled Teleera roll. - Stoney Fries (Stoney's hand-cut fries topped with chipotle sour cream, shredded cheese, peppered bacon and green onions). When the weather is warm I prefer their outdoor seating area, but there's a very cozy-looking indoor dining room which features a fireplace - I look forward to enjoying my meals here as the weather turns cooler :-)
We stopped by on a Friday night on the way down to Bend and we're thoroughly impressed with everything- the staff, the food and the facilities. The fried mushrooms were awesome. And not just button mushrooms, like REAL mushrooms and the ranch they came with was awesome as well. The Gorgonzola burger was massive and perfectly cooked. The chicken strips were pretty good as well, but I wouldn't come here for them. The fries were great and portions were huge. The beers were pretty delicious. I'm not an IPA person but my partner enjoyed them. I had two of the special tap beers and liked them a lot as well. We would love to come back for an event on their lawn sometime. The staff was super friendly to our dog and even fed her a cup of whipped cream with bacon bits on the top!
Another stellar experience earns the all coveted, 5th and FINAL star. Came in tonite to find that their card system was down. So the fam grabbed a table and got settled in while I ran down the street for cash @ the nearby ATM (this kid only does electronic pay). Our server Addi was super sweet and kind, gave us just the right amount of time and space to figure things out... couple kids in tow and all (lol)! We grabbed some fried green beans and some buffalo wings to start. The youngins had the ginormous cheeseburger off the kids menu (awesome burger and value) and wifey and I shared the chimichurri steak. I had to grab a flight of their brews to sample... variety is the spice of life, right? All were filling, delicious and on point! When the bill came, the flight was there but with a zero $ amount. I pointed it out to Addi to get it corrected (integrity is a trait I hold dear). She was super cool about it and explained it was like that on purpose and that she appreciated us staying to eat even though their system was down... her way of going above and beyond to take care of us given their card system issue. These are the kind of gestures and level of customer service deserving of extra stars even if the food didn't match...which is not the case here. For all this and more, this place is absolutely earned MY 5 STARS!
The portions here were plentiful and the food was great. I had the Mac and cheese tossed in Cajun sauce with pulled pork and bacon. It comes with green peppers and onions but I asked for them without. My girlfriend got the butternut sauce ravioli and loved the sauce and taste. And best of all? That's just the food! This place is a brewery. I had a Turkish coffee stout that was amazing. Portion was fantastic for my Mac and cheese and average for the butternut squash ravioli. Prices were pretty moderate as well.
Great beer and food with a beautiful outdoor patio. They serve Oregon wines too. The beer flight is the wait to go. 4 oz pours! The Mac and cheese is rich and creamy. I had my chicken sandwich minus the bread. They are following COVID protocols. Plenty of parking in the attached lot. I wish they served their desserts with ice cream.
Stopped by on Mother's Day. I was delighted with the service and speed on a busy day. The atmosphere was great with inside seating that looked inviting and plenty of covered outdoor seating. I had the mamba, it is great. It has a refreshing taste and is unique, which can be hard to find these days. My husband had the Doug Firocious. We had to buy a six pack on our way out he loved so much. The food was great. I had a chicken and bacon burger and tomato spinach soup that tasted great. Only drawback was the plating. It tasted great but looked, well plain. Definitely coming back
Dog Friendly patio with great food & beer! Service is 5/5- Monica is so friendly and the perfect ambassador for the restaurant. She was so kind to our dog and made us feel so comfortable. We went with her beer suggestions and then she gave us a taste of the Mamba- their flagship beer- we loved it. Ambiance is 5/5 - the inside dining room and bar area are rustic & would feel very cabin-comfortable in the winter. The dog-friendly outside patio is surrounded by creekside foliage and the breeze that comes through the shaded seating area has a natural cooling effect during this hot summer day. The vibe is very relaxed and casual. Food is 5/5 - Happy Hour goes from 3-5:30 and they offer great value for food items on the HH menu. I had the pulled pork sando with side salad during HH and we split a spicy chicken sando with fries as well. The portions are generous and both items were good quality and fresh from the bun to the coleslaw on the pulled pork- everything was so good! The blueberry heffy & the Mamba ard delightful on warm days. We will definitely recommend Gilgamesh Brewing and look forward to returning to the area. read more

Employees are nice, the pretzel and cheese appetizer came out quick, however, after that my party had a difficult time getting our food. Someone in our party had to ask twice for their drink to be refilled because our waitress was doing other things that other staff should be doing. We sat outside and were never notified that the lights were broken so we sat in the dark. We ordered our main entree and after an hour, it still had not arrived. The food is delicious, don't get me wrong, but the service is horrible and we had to sit eating in the dark. Probably won't come back due to the service. read more
We visited on a brewery tour back in 2014 and we have been returning anytime we are in the Salem area ever since! (pics are from several different visits!) Great service and great food! We especially like the outside seating area - nearby grounds have a park-like feeling. The beers are really good. For food, we stick with the burgers and sandwiches - never been disappointed. I would say the only negative is the parking - it is an odd-shaped lot and it can get busy and be hard to find a spot - especially if you drive a bigger vehicle. But it is worth the trouble - can't wait to visit again! read more
I've had mostly hits and one or two a misses here but I'd still go back for happy hour or dinner. The atmosphere is family friendly and laid back, their outdoor seating is covered so you can enjoy it in most weather. The servers are really nice too. My daughter and I stopped by for dinner. She wasn't in line with her Mac and cheese and I wasn't in love with my hummus. I actually didn't eat much of it. But again, still a nice place to have a meal. read more

Local spot! Everyone super nice and professional. Special kudos to Marissa and her food and beverage recommendations. Loved the Oedipus IPA Sit in the back if it's a nice day. A definite must if you are in Salem read more
I have nothing but good things to say and great appreciation for the staff of Gilgamesh Brewing. My boyfriend, small dog, and I stopped in Salem on our drive from Seattle to the Sierra foothills in California and wanted to try Gilgamesh. We called when were 90 minutes out to confirm they were dog friendly on the patio, and that the patio would be covered in the rains. When we arrived the message of our coming hadn't been relayed and they were cleaning up, but welcomed us with open arms and let us eat and drink on the wonderful and warm patio right beside the fireplace. We each got a pint and appetizers to share, and for the miscommunication we got an extra appetizer on the house. The fries are massive and smothered in toppings, the fried mushrooms vary in many types of shroomies, and the pretzels were delish. The CDA and Turkish Coffee Stouts are must try beers! Addy and the fellas in the kitchen were fantastic! If you plan to head to Gilgamesh Brewing, see if Addy is working in the bar. She was welcoming, attentive, and super hospitable. We plan to stop by on our drive back up to Seattle because our visit was so memorable. read more

Really awesome! I loved all the beer options and the food is so good! (So good, that I forgot to take pictures! Ah, next time!) They can replace any burger with a veggie patty which is nice, because most places get difficult about that option. The outdoor seating was the best so far with Covid! Nice and warm and covered! Our waitress was super nice and we had a good time! Also, the burgers are huge! Yum! read more

Live music on Sundays & outdoor seating. Get there early if u want to go on a fri or sat night (I've heard) My first opinion of the menu, is that it looked great with many different unique & tasty food options. (I was also really hungry when I went there, so everything sounded good.) But, when my food actually arrived that I ordered, I lost my appetite a small amount, something in the food presentation wasn't that impressive as it should be. And, to be honest it didn't look that appetizing to me. But, I kept an open mind & tried a bite of everything, and it was all amazing! And, Really good. If you ever find yourself in Salem, you definitely have to check out this tap room. The beer is great, the staff is all friendly & helpful and the grounds are beautiful as well! read more

Awesome beer, pretty good food. We came in with a group of 6 and were sat immediately. Our service was very attentive from start to finish. The beer was definitely the highlight of our meal! My favorites are the Mamba Sour, and the Oedipus IPA. I enjoyed the Mac and cheese, but it was almost TOO cheese (I never thought I would say that). I would recommend getting the half size, as it was very filling. read more
