    Triple IPA but didn't drink like it!
    Kevin K.

    Popped in with the wife, daughter and grandson. It was a warm afternoon but the fans helped keep it bearable. Beertenders were great, knew their brews, made a great recommendation for my non-beer drinker wife. Loved the 6-beer flight. Overall, very reasonably priced, quality beers, and a good experience.

    We came here Saturday at 6:30pm. It wasn't too busy. We got to try some beers before we decided to get a flight. They have more IPAs here. We tried a few IPAs and a Chili stout. We really liked the chili stout because it was unique and had a kick to it. Seatings outside and inside.

Really nice indoor/ outdoor space , Dog Friendly, Great tables, good lighting, hip retro music, delicious food truck , shuffle board, and oh yea fantastic beer ! They seem to focus a lot on IPAs. Cant wait to come back !

    Fun craft brewery in Lodi - has a good variety of beers (and a Kombucha). Had the golden ale and a kolsch and both were good. Seating is all outdoors/covered outdoors but they have some misters by the entrance so even on a warm day it feels pretty pleasant. A couple TVs had sports on and a food truck was outside. Overall a great laid back place to grab drinks and hang out with friends!

    I've been to this place a few times, and let me tell you that this place does not disappoint!!!! They give great service, have great beer, and the atmosphere is great too. The last time I went, they have drive thru which was really nice. I bought a few different beers, and they stayed surprisingly really cold even when I got to Elk Grove. I liked their hazy IPA's (Idolicious & Doublicious). I also really enjoyed their Blueberry beer as well! I recommend this place and I'll definitely go again!

The restaurant is…read morelocated in a busy downtown area, so parking can sometimes be a bit tricky--something to keep in mind if you're planning to come during peak hours. We were seated quickly and served waters right away. My husband ordered the fish and chips, while I went with the jalapeño chicken sandwich. The sandwich came with a grilled chicken breast, lettuce, tomato, pepper jack cheese, crispy fried onions, and jalapeño dressing on grilled ciabatta bread. I also upgraded my fries to their Bleu fries (topped with bleu cheese crumbles and bleu cheese dressing). The fries were definitely a highlight--served hot, crispy, and perfectly paired with the bleu cheese. My husband was really impressed with the fish and chips, which he hadn't tried here before. The fish was beer-battered and fried, served with fries and coleslaw. He especially liked the coleslaw, noting that it tasted fresh with great flavor and wasn't overly coated in mayo. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and the experience. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

If the food were nearly as appetizing as the servers work ethic I may consider returning. Ambiance was lovely.

I can count on beers I actually like (German ones. Dark ones. Stronk ones. Not IPA ones.) and rotating taps. Bags of chips but no food here. They don't seem to mind if you bring food in, at least for Wednesday night trivia. Don't quote me on it. Also. There is wine here. There are dogs. Inside and out. Woof. Trivia night was fun. Wednesdays at 6:30, every two weeks. Four categories, ten questions per category. Grade another team's paper like school. We killed the blue movies category last week. Trivia master is def a movie guy. I would come back for this trivia format, yes. This was also a good spot to watch the niner game a few weeks back. Back when we were winning. Sigh. TVs everywhere, lots of seating inside and out. That said, it's a busy popular spot full of regulars so if you want a seat for a game or event, come early. I want to come back for music bingo or vinyl night. Bring your own vinyl. Color me intrigued. Not sure what music people listen to here but I have options. They have a lot of cool stuff happening here. Mostly friendly vibes, great beer selection on local craft AND imports. Bathroom report: it's whatever. Reminds me of midtown with the jankiness but I may just be prior-homesick. I wandered into a nearby storeroom for tp one night but there was ? more tp inside the b room that I missed. Oops.

I've been here several times and the food is always solid…read more Parking can be a little tricky since it's in a busy area, but there's a small lot and some street parking. We came for Sunday lunch with family and were seated right away. Our waiter was great -- he checked in on us regularly and even refilled our drinks without us having to ask, which was a nice touch. I ordered the Greek salad with added salmon (+$8) and it was a great choice. The portion was generous and came with a slice of focaccia. The salad had mixed greens, olives, artichokes, feta, and red onion with a really tasty balsamic vinaigrette. Our table also ordered a cheese pizza, Caesar salad wrap, and the chicken pot pie. I had a bite of the pot pie and it was incredible -- definitely ordering that next time. Bonus: they offer a free wine tasting with the purchase of a meal, which is a fun extra.

We got the foccicia bread basket as an appetizer and it was really good, herb, olive oil, soft bread like a sponge. The chicken pot pie was excellent, full of flavor, great crust and good filling. I got the French dip, it was probably one of the best I had in a while. The au jus was the best part, thick, flavorful along with a strong creamy horseradish. Service............. Not so much. For a big place that was maybe 40% occupied, it was soooooooooooooooooo slow. One server from what I see, 2 bussers, and 5 others standing around chatting. Took a good 30 mins to get seated (there was tables available), though we got to go to their tasting room, and got a bottle of wine; another 20 mins to get the server's attention after getting seated and probably another 40 for the food to come. That was probably the most irritating.

Now was a good as time as any! As we entered, there was a sign to meet at the bar for seating. The waitress/server came out after a bit of a wait and according to my friend, it's usually a longer wait time around lunch for someone to come out and seat you. I was recommended to try the pork schnitzel by my friend and it did not disappoint. I got my sandwich with a side salad. We also ordered the deviled eggs to share. My friend has never had the deviled eggs before and pleasantly surprised and delighted that the eggs were absolutely delicious. They're very smooth, eggs were cooked perfectly and the touch of bacon was just right. It does come with a small helping of mixed greens topped with pickled onions. The pork schnitzel was crispy & crunchy due to the breaded pork loin, came with pickled onions, slaw and the chipotle aioli sauce. The sauce does have a bit of a kick to it but it wasn't too spicy, well, at least for me. My salad was very good too. It was colorful and had an interestingly tangy dressing on it. It paired well with the sandwich. One was spicy and the salad was tangy but refreshing. My friend also ordered the pork schnitzel with beef tallow fries. I tried some of her fries and they were thin but still crispy. Overall the food at West Oak Nosh was so good and delicious! Service was good, prompt and our server was attentive despite being by herself. I think this place is great for the summer to have a drink and eat. Will have to come back for the drinks!
