Black Gold Brewing Company - Taft

Be brave! Get off the damm freeway and eat here! The burgers are delicious and the rib eye is classic! It's totally worth the drive! Taft is full of Old time oil Americana you need to see before it goes away forever!

The waiter was very helpful, and then the owner came over and ruined it. Apearantly, it is not ok to order a coors beer in a brewery. The steaks tasted kinda funny but very heavily seasoned, so we thought it was just the spices. But about an hour later, it all went south and kept going all night long. I wouldn't go back there.

We went in for lunch on Friday. It wasn’t very busy. The vibe was kind of just blah. There were 3 TVs none of them were on, no music. Right before we left they tuned the TV’s onto the news network. Not really what I’m looking to watch while trying to enjoy lunch at a brewery.The waitress was very nice and made us feel welcome. I’m not a big beer drinker but they seem to have a good variety of their own brews on tap.The menu had many options of sandwiches and Thai food. We ordered the pineapple shrimp and rice, the Pad Thai shrimp and a Rib Eye Sandwich. The Thai food was not quiet as good as The Asian Experience down the street, but it was pretty good. The Rib Eye Sandwich was humongous and tasty. The crinkle fries were very good. We spent a little over $20 a meal.

Outstanding beer! Especially the Midway Sunset Citra Pale Ale. We will be back!

Out of towner stopped in today for a few beers and lunch. Food is amazing, beer is amazing couldn't ask for more. Will be stopping in again before I head back home.
