Oak Park Brewing Company - Sacramento

I had a last evening in Sacramento and wanted something different, so I walked to the Oak Park Brewery. Let 's start with the staff, they are 5 star. Great attitude, helpful without rushing. Next the beer, I only had the Red Chevette because my mom had one when I was young and I was hoping for something other than the wreck she handed down to us kids. So, I 'm not a big fan of real hoppy IPAs and this was a perfect pick. Great malt/toffee flavor. Then I had a Yard Bird sandwich, blackened chicken on a delicious hogie roll with melted cheese, bacon (and what isn 't better with bacon) and really tasty avocado crema. Even if you don 't drink beer you need to try this sandwich. Can 't wait to bring my friends on my next trip to Sacramento.

The brewery is welcoming to both dogs and children, and the staff is extremely friendly. Our group of four enjoyed a late lunch on the patio on a warm, sunny February afternoon. Our drinks, which included beer and cider, arrived promptly. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I had the grilled fish tacos, while my husband opted for the bowl of beans, which included three types of beans, ground beef, and bacon. Our friends chose a hot dog and a sausage sandwich, both of which came with delicious, piping hot fries. It's a great spot to visit, and there's ample on-street parking available.

We met some friends for happy hour, and I was disappointed to find that discounts only applied at the bar, not at the tables. However, we really enjoyed the pretzel with beer cheese sauce. The selection of IPAs with various hops was great, and the Robots Red was quite tasty. We tried several sandwiches, including the pastrami, burger, and fried chicken. They were fine, but nothing special—just average. On the bright side, the outdoor patio is lovely, with plenty of space available at the long picnic tables.

My friends and I recently visited Oak Park Brewery after moving to the area, and we were really impressed. They offer a fantastic variety of beers and ciders, ensuring there's something to suit everyone's taste. The food is definitely a standout feature—the meat and cheese board was my personal favorite! I thoroughly enjoyed the selection of cheeses paired with fruit, honey, and nuts. The outdoor area is also wonderful, equipped with games and picnic benches. I've noticed that it's a popular spot for parties and friends playing ping pong, especially in the summer months. Overall, we had a lovely, relaxing evening there, and it wasn't overly crowded.

Hearing that OPB has reopened, with new help, got me to go here for a Sunday brunch this date. At 1230pm we arrived, were greeted and seated promptly. The place was not busy, but not empty. There are an assortment of high tables, bar-type seats, and some lower, regular restaurant tables. We took the latter and had H2O brought pronto. Menu is limited but interesting. STandard breakfast of Eggs, with meat choices, a couple of Benedicts, and some other great choices. We three had eggs and such, and I ordered a middle of Carrot cake French Toast. Outstanding, interesting. Service was attentive, a bit loose on the details (knives and forks came after the food, We needed butter for the biscuits, coffee, then cream came. These are all small issues that can be tightened up quickly. The menu harkens to Iron Horse Tavern for breakfast, just not as deep. Burgers and such on the main menu. On street parking. I'm a teetotalor, so no beer for me. But I'll happily go back for the food.
