South Gate Brewing Company has a big parking lot and patio.
I ordered the fish and chips. Pacific Cod was fresh and beer battered with a crunchy tempura batter.
I loved the juicy flaky cod and the light flavor of the fish plus the salty beer batter. Fries were crunchy and I liked the seasoning.
Nice waitress told me about how they make their own root beer which had a bold sarsaparilla flavor so I gave it a try. Carbonation was subtle but the flavor was a very bold. Tons of sarsaparilla, wintergreen, and vanilla flavor. Good root beer.


2nd visit I can smell steaks smoking from the patio. I tried the ribeye steak with sweet potato fries.
Sweet potato fries were crispy on the outside with a soft center. I like the mix of sweet and salty flavors.
Ribeye steak was smoked before they finished cooking it. Beef was tender and juicy with a really strong smoky flavor. Was a bit like eating a smoked beef rib. Very unique experience.

Oakhurst is a lovely town and South Gate Brewing Company is my favorite spot to eat. I loved the food and we got great customer service each visit from our waitress G.
