We truly enjoyed our visit to Fair Oaks Brew Pub for brunch. Such a peaceful and relaxing dining experience with fantastic food choices. We highly recommend the pretzel and chorizo hash. I also love that they have a root beer float on the menu. It was quite a nice treat!

It took me ions to finally get into the brew pub. Super glad we did! We walked over from the restaurant down the street because we were more in the mood for the food on the menu HERE 😁 Such a smart combination. You can get beautiful artisan pizzas, high quality sushi, crispy brussels, all in one place that's casual and cozy. The barbecue albacore is my fave. But the pizza, sushi, edamame were all extremely yummy. Greeted nicely, felt welcome in this place seemingly full of locals.

Cozy comfortable pub with eclectic furnishing anf appointments. Great Bavarian pretzel appetizer that comes out quickly. Classicly made pulled pork sandwich. Varied food menu. Lots of drink variety from beer and wine to classic cocktails and pre/after dinner drinks. Good quick service. Good quality food. Open for lunch thru dinner. Popular for before dinner drinks.

Nice beer, selection and good bites! This is pretty basic pub food but it’s really well done! It has an outside patio with misters or you can go sit inside.

Parking is understandably packed when there are events at the community park or theater. Prepare for a light walk. Neighborhood is quaint with chickens and roosters walking about. If you've been to old Fair Oaks you know what I'm talking about. The pub is kind of small but they are in the beginning stages of expanding. The outside area is just as big as the inside. Great for those nice cool nights. The staff is friendly and really helpful. There is always someone walking around you can flash down when you need something. Food is pretty special. Pizza look and taste hand made and fresh. Sliders are delicious. The pretzels, I heard are soft and toasty. The sampler beer is reasonably priced. And there is enough variety for you to have a couple of favorites. I'm a fan of the peanut butter stout.i would definitely come back and would recommended this place to friends.

Tucked within fair Oaks is a beautiful brick building. Trying to get in was a tad confusing but we figured it out. We were trying to go in an only exit. There is a large outside area with fire pits and heaters. The tables in side are cozy with an view of the bar if you choose so. You can hear the drinks being shook and beverages being delivered consistently. The menu is interesting. There is sushi, breakfast, pizza, burgers, appetizers. Beverages range from cocktails to beers. Service was great. Ambience was okay. Would definitely go back.

The food wasnt the best....wasnt bad though but the beer was top notch. The ambiance was great and our server was great. Our server stayed with a smile and we even complimented her on her service verbally and in our tip as well. Compliments dont pay bills. Id come back due to her service and the beer.

Prompt service with seating and food. Nice pizza toppings, crust could have a little more chew to it. I like thin crust but with more body. Good sushi. Good beer selection. Great employees.

This spot is great. We sat outside which had fans with misters attached which kept it really cool and comfortable. Also, a small detail that I appreciated was they included a foot rail under the bench seating and that shiy was comfy. The food is probably a 5 star but I gave it 4. The only criticism I have is that they kept us waiting for our bill, but that wasn't much of an inconvenience just something to note. Give it a try, my wife and I had their in house IPA and it was delicious.

We love our local spots and this one is within walking distance from our home. Their food is really good as well as the beer. The customer service and atmosphere is so fun.

For background, I first visited Fair Oaks Brew Pub after moving to the area in 2015. I’m not a regular, but I probably eat here about 5-8 times a year. In the beginning, it’s was great. I liked the decor, the outdoor seating is lovely during those perfect Sacramento sunny days (even in the heat of summer with the fans and misters), and the food was decent. The last 1-2 years have been when I noticed a decline. They briefly had a brunch menu, which was so good! It went away, but I get if the numbers aren’t there it had to be cut. However, the menu is quite limited now, but I understand the benefit of focusing on only a few dishes per menu category during certain times of day. Today was my third time coming to Fair Oaks Brew Pub and have had a poor experience. This time was the most disappointing, so I’m leaving a review with the hope for improvement. My main problem with today’s experience - the service. It was only myself and my five year old daughter for a “mom/daughter day out.” We sat down, it took about 7-10 minutes for a server to come over with a menu and waters. I watched other people who were sat after us receive menus and water within the first 3 minutes. I told myself, “maybe the server is busy or didn’t know we were back here.” When the server came by, she was kind enough to check on the ingredients for one of the menu items. For food I ordered a side of fries, a side salad, and veggie potstickers. For drinks I ordered an orange juice and a coffee. The server brings out the drinks first. Later, another person brings the fries along with two small plates and two square napkins. The server does a quick walk by our table to ask how things are and that is the last time she comes over to our table for the rest of the time we’re there. The potstickers are next and then the side salad. No utensils are brought by. While I wait to see if the server comes back, I focus on the finger food and take a bite of the potstickers and was concerned that maybe the wrong ones were brought out, because there didn’t appear to be veggies inside but meat. However, the server never comes back, so I can’t ask for a fork for the salad or about the food. Eventually, a server for another table walks by and I flag her down and ask if I can have a fork. She brings over two sets of utensils and I’m able ask her about the potstickers. She says they put tofu inside and then leaves. I know some pretty incredible things can be done with tofu, but the filling really looked like the fried beef. I decided to leave them for my daughter, but she didn’t care for the taste. Since there wasn’t much else on the menu, I figured it was time to go. Again, our server doesn’t come by, so it’s a bit of a wait until I flag down the owner/manager who happens to be walking by to pay. I get it, I’m not their target clientele. I don’t drink, have dietary restrictions, and the menu is meant for adults. But in this economy, can the service be friendly and attentive? Where I walk away feeling, “well at least my business is appreciated.” I didn’t. I haven’t felt welcome here for a while. Overall, it was a disappointing experience (further impacted by the two men who sat next to us and decided to drop f-bombs throughout their conversation - which is not the restaurant’s fault, but an “insult to injury” to the whole situation) and hopefully it won't be repeated for future customers. This place is really special to Fair Oaks Village and I hope others customers have a better experience.

Revised: Was really excited to try this place out. We came there and asked if there was seating inside because it was cold out. She said, no seating inside. Didn’t even offer us to wait or a wait time or anything. So we left and called and a lady who answered said there was inside seating and to come on in. We ended up going to River City Brewing because of the way the hostess communicated and treated us. We also noticed the people behind us left for the same reason. And yea, there was someone seating people. It was a lady. Reply to owner. There was a lady seating people.

Rude staff, food was bland. Based off of their reviews the owners don't care either which is sad considering its this community who puts money onto your business and your pockets. Here's an interesting business concept. "Good customer service", "accountability"
