    Soft pretzel, burger with fries, buffalo chicken salad
    Angelica R.

    Everything was amazing. The patio was lovely with such great weather, the salad was huge and filling, the burger was cooked perfectly, and the soft pretzel is one of my favorites. Our cashier also offered to cut the burger in half for us without us asking because he could tell we were just gonna share everything- excellent service! Really really hoping another spot opens up in Curtis Park so we can continue having these good eats!

    The location is pretty solid. It's in that Curtis Park/Oak Park area. It's pretty residential but has a couple of businesses and restaurants nearby. The parking situation might be a little tricky since Gunther's is so popular. I think you should be able to find some street parking but you will have to walk a bit and cross a busy street. The service was very quick and the cashiers were friendly. I've heard about this place for a long time and have been wanting to try their hamburgers since that is what they are known for. Their food menu is very limited and only has like 5 options lol. The flavor of the burger was a 9/10, it was juicy but also packed with flavor. Maybe I just wish it was slightly warmer. I also wanted it to be bigger due to its price tag. I was more surprised by the chicken sandwich. It was almost kind of sweet? I normally don't like coleslaw but this one was absolutely delicious. Best chicken sando I've had in Sac. They should be known for their chicken sandwiches way more than their burgers! The prices are very steep. The drinks are about $8 and are delicious The burgers and chicken sandwiches are about $20 each and are average size. Making this a ($$$) for me. Do not expect to walk out of here for under $50 for a meal for two. The price alone drops it a star away from a 5. Bottom line/TLDR: amazing chicken sandwiches but steep prices.

    Pliny the Younger tapped on 2/15/26.  Excellent triple IPA.

    I came back here year after it's been a while since they advertised they'll be serving the popular seasonal beer Pliny the Younger from Russian River Brewing. I got there early to guarantee I got a beer or two after trying to go to other places after they opened only to find out they sold out. I was also craving their infamous Pangaea burger which is still one of my favorite burgers in the county. I love the service and local neighborhood ambiance this place provides. The staff and customers are all very friendly and there for a good time. It's a shame, however, that the building's landlord isn't willing to cooperate and they're set to close next month unless they find another spot to open up at. I'll admit it's going to suck not being able to grab a drink and burger then walk across the street for some Gunther's ice cream but I'm really hoping that they're able to find another location to open up at. It'll be such a shame if they're gone for good.

    SERVICE: table side, attentive AMBIANCE: clean and open FLAVORS: Chicken sandwich - 100/10. SO DANG GOOOD!!! It was everything. Crunchy, juicy, tangy, rich. So satisfying. I'll take 14. PORTIONS: filling and hearty PRICE: appropriate

    The mister loves getting a burger here, so we came for a weekday lunch. We were able to find street parking. The inside has some dark colors, but bright light comes in from the windows. Seating options include picnic tables & a couple of high tops inside. Tap handles decorate the walls. A TV in the corner had The Food Network on. Music plays in the background, but talk from customers carries loudly, especially if there are big groups. Water & condiments are self-accessible. Outside, there are tables & bar seating with shade. You order at the counter. Menus and lists are available to look through. The man who took our order & served our food was friendly. We both got the Pangaea Burger with Fries. The mister customized his without vegetation & sauce. I got mine without onions. It's a simple, straightforward burger that's done pretty well. The mister describes the meat as "steaky". It was juicy, beefy, & hearty. My burger seemed a lot juicier, & my bottom bun integrity suffered for it as I ate. The bacon was nice & thick, but was crisped hard & a little difficult to bite. The fries were great--thin, nicely crispy, salted well, & plentiful. We had a nice, filling lunch & satisfying burger experience.

    I'm so sad to hear this place is closing down. I only got to enjoy it once. Truthfully, I don't drink, so I was here for the food. Everything I had was great. The best thing in my opinion was the Mac & cheese. The Pangaea burger was also really good. It was a big burger. The service was great and I love that you can help yourself to water, utensils, condiments, to go boxes etc. I wish the owners and staff the best.

    Pangaea burger medium...perfection!

    A wonderful dining experience at Pangaea! The as new first: it's right across the street from Gunther's LOL whew! We've heard the rumors about the famous Pangaea burger and had to decide for ourselves. Open floor plan, open seating including communal style tables which I love because it compels diners to engage other patrons. There was an overflow dining area in back but we decided to sit at the bar. Allan (sp?) was our server and took excellent care of us. I forgot the lovely young lady's name took our order; she was so sweet and answered questions. We ordered the Pangaea burger and the fried chicken sandwich. No argument..thee best burger I have everrr had! Wow! Kiss to the chef for grilling my burger to the perfect medium. Listen, the burger checks all the boxes: taste, texture, temperature. And never mind the flavor carnival in my mouth! My mistake was assuming I could eat half the burger and have of the fried chicken sandwich. The half burger took me out! However that was not the agreement so I tasted the chicken. Nice and crunchy and perfectly seasoned. We were fortunate to sit between two long term patrons who share their favorite (shocker..the burger!), and their favorite beers. Pangaea gives "Cheers" vibes (ok, I just dated myself); you could tell many of the patrons were regulars. From the way they engaged each other as well as the staff, the atmosphere felt like home away from home. Beautiful culture Pangaea has built. We shall return!

    Hadn't been to Pangaea in a bit so we decided to have dinner and a couple of beers. We decided on the Pangaea Burger and Loaded Fries with pulled pork. Burger was on point and had to bring half of it home because it was so filling. The burger came with fries and my only complaint was that it needed to be served on a bigger tray (see pic). My son had the loaded fries and he said they were just ok, thus the 4 star rating. Beers were good. Service was good and we received our food pretty quick considering it was a Saturday night. The seating inside is good with an extra room with additional seating. It was a little dark but not bad. Started to get a little loud as it got busier but not horrible. They also had ample outside seating. We will be back.

    D2T Sauce great for the fries!
    Alanah P.

    Always trying to find some of the best chicken sandwiches & Pangaea gets it done! The fried chicken sandwich here is pretty good. If you're not of fan of spice just ask for no habanero aoli. Sandwich still packed a lot of flavor without it. Perfect crunch on the chicken too! Overall 10/10 I also tried one of their sauces called D2T & that was really good for the fries. The sandwich too but it's personal preference!

    Haley S.

    Cute spot for pub food in Sacramento right across Gunther's ice cream! My friends & I stopped by for lunch here and received prompt service. The seating outside is ample and very welcomed on a nice day! I ordered the grilled cheese with garlic fries and it was a solid, classic take on the meal. Lots of beer & cider options here as well! Only thing I would say is that there are not many vegan or vegetarian options, but otherwise loved this spot!

    Buffalo chicken salad
    Aileen M.

    Five stars for Pangaea Bier Cafe accommodating our large group of 19 on short notice. Five stars for their great variety of beer and ciders. Five stars for their ability to get orders out quickly after ordering at the counter. 4 stars for the food. $17 for my smallish Buffalo chicken salad that looked better than it tasted as the chicken was too salty. Others in our party liked their burger, tacos, nachos, chicken wings, and mac n cheese. But a few also thought their chicken was too salty. Overall, fun place for a casual hang out and really fun with a big group of friends. Biggest con is the lack of parking especially with Gunther's Ice Cream across the street. Staff are friendly and kept our tables clear of dishes.

    I've always wanted to check out Pangaea after following them on Instagram. When I walked in I realized this is an order at the counter type of place. I was debating between a Burger or the Chicken Sandwich. When talking to the Cashier, she mentioned how their burger won a lot of rewards so I decided to get that with a Pilsner. I got the side salad instead of the fries. I like how they don't up charge for that. The total was $37 total including tip. After receiving my food the burger and side salad looked great! When I tried the burger it tasted average . But not worth $21. I had better burgers in Sacramento for less. The side salad was average. The beer tasted average. Overall the customer service was good, and I may come back to try their chicken sandwich and a different beer. I just wouldn't get the burger again.

One of my favorite things is that you're welcome to bring your own picnic! They also offer a 15% discount for military members and first responders. Other nice touches include a phone charging station and plenty of outdoor games like cornhole, giant Connect Four, ping-pong, and bocce ball. I especially loved the cozy fire pits. For drinks, they have 24 taps plus wine, kombucha, cider, and hop water, so there's something for everyone. I really enjoyed the atmosphere: it's a great place where people gather to listen to live music, sip a beer, grab something from the food truck, or simply enjoy a picnic with friends and family. If you're looking for a fun, welcoming beer garden, I highly recommend this place!

The smashed avocado was mixed in with the crab, making the whole thing look like a green, mushy roll that wasn't very appetizing. On top of that, it lacked flavor. Even the chips that came with it were bland and desperately needed some seasoning and salt. The fish and chips weren't much better. The batter on the fish was way too thick, which took away from the fish itself. The Caesar salad was also disappointing--the dressing lacked flavor, and it was basically just lettuce topped with a soft-boiled egg. There weren't even any croutons. The only things we really enjoyed were the fries and the fried cauliflower. Those were actually great, but unfortunately, they weren't enough to make up for the rest of the meal. Overall, between the disappointing drinks and lackluster food, I don't see myself rushing back.

You enter without truly knowing where to go or what to do, so be observant as there may be an actual line to order drinks and food, just don't cut someone off. Ordering was easy. Same window for beer and food. If you order food you're given a number that people deliver food. Came here for happy hour. I got myself a pretzel with add-on cheese, a pulled pork (seasonal) Belgie with fries, and I sampled other food that my friends ordered. Firstly, the 1L beer is worth it. Not happy hour prices., but well worth the volume. It definitely transported me back to my visit to Munich and the beer halls. Oh, I do miss the drunken singing of the Germans lol Secondly, the food was just okay. Pretzels were thankfully cheaper since it was happy hour but i paid $1 for the add-on cheese. The mustard combo sauce was great. I wish the pretzel was a bit bigger. I appreciated the warmth and the salt ratio; not overpowering. The Belgie (waffle sandwich) was also on happy hour. The texture of the waffle was great. Crisp exterior, soft interior. I ordered the seasonal pulled pork which was great in texture and decently portioned. It is a thick boy, so biting into it was a bit of a challenge. Ended up deconstructing the sandwich and used utensils. Sauce maybe would've been better on the side. Fries always win. No complaints though I wish I ordered the garlic fries... the smell was good. One thing I didn't get to try was their famous, Starbust drink which is a mix of beer, cider and some frosty, maybe. The color was intriguing and everyone seemed to order it around me. The misters were on, which was a blessing and a curse. Definitely helped cool me down, but also became a nuisance as the table and all my belongings got wet. Excited for their new location in Old Sac. Maybe a revised review in the future. Stay tuned.
