SanTan Brewing - Downtown Chandler

Came to the Spirit House after the Brewery tour (which was fantastic), and had the buffalo sauce wings, nachos, and my husband had the happiest hour old fashioned. The wings were great! The nachos were missing the brisket and the whiskey cheese sauce. We noticed the brisket right away and they brought us a small bowl of brisket. Half way through the nachos we were thinking how bland they were and realized there was no whiskey cheese sauce. They brought us a little condiment cup of that. The nachos were far better with the sauce even though we only ate a couple chips with it as the plate was on the large size and we only finished half. The old fashioned was too bitter for either my husband or I to drink. The drink had spiced orange bitters and it was just way too much for our liking. The staff was super friendly, took the nachos off the bill, and told us that this wasn’t the normal representation of the food and we believed that was probably true. We did sample the cinnamaple whiskey and that was a fun taste. We would definitely try this place again.

We came out here for dinner last night. We took a drive and parked in downtown Chandler and took a stroll. We decided to walk in as we got hungry. The staff was really nice and attentive. We got the trio sampler and we ordered ourselves a Windy City pizza. The food was great. The service was great, the atmosphere was cool. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Never thought of having breakfast here originally, but glad we decided to try it. Very good portion sizes. I had the New Mexico Skillet, wife had Enchiladas & Eggs, and Odie had plain scrambled eggs. Everything tasted great! Service was good too. Very dog friendly patio. Plan on coming back again.

SanTan has a nice full menu of craft beer and pub food. Above all else, get that Lumberjack maple red ale. You find maple sometimes showing up in darker beers, like porters or stouts. It's unusual to find a red ale with it, and OMG, it completely works. Tried the onion rings. Hearty, filling, and horrible for you. Get them anyway. Quality service. Downtown Chandler allows for some differentiation from the standard Phoenix metro strip mall brewery, so expect a large space, plenty of seating all over, and a nice professional could-be-a-chain kind of vibe. Sort of like a BJ's or that fictional restaurant from 'Office Space.'

I finally made it to SanTan Brewing Company after hearing so many friends rave about their pot pies, and wow - they lived up to the hype. We started with the Buttermilk Onion Rings and I swear the pile was massive. The look on my face had to have been priceless when they landed on our table. Crispy, golden, and perfect for sharing. The main reason I came was for the pot pies. I had a taste of the Smoked Chicken Pot Pie (perfection), but went with the Bourbon Brisket Pot Pie for myself. First off, whaaaat?! Totally worth it. The smoke, the brisket, that flaky crust - every bite was hearty and packed with flavor. They definitely don’t skimp on the meat. Service was good overall. The greeters were friendly, and while we had to flag our server down a couple times, it didn’t take away from the experience. The atmosphere is fun and casual, the kind of place that works just as well for a relaxed dinner as it does hanging out with friends over a beer. I left full, happy, and already planning my next visit. Definitely recommend giving the pot pies a try - they’re something special here.

We had a pretty good experience after dining in at San Tan Brewing Co for the first time. We were starving and hadn’t tried out this place yet, so we decided to give it a shot. The patio wasn’t very crowded so we sat outside. The service wasn’t good, which is part of why I’m taking off a couple stars. The food came quickly but we had to flag her down for refills, the bill, etc when she didn’t seem to be doing much. The patio chairs are also hard as a rock and we would have appreciated a mister or fan on. The food was decent— the Quesadilla appetizer was the best thing we ordered. We added Baja Shrimp and it was very juicy and cheesy, without being too fattening. Our entrees were just okay, my Chicken Tenders were good but my Mom didn’t love her Chicken Melt. She said it was a bit bland. My opinion? Another decent but overpriced AZ restaurant that won’t knock your socks off but is filling enough to leave happy.

I finally checked out SanTan Brewing Company after hearing nonstop about their pot pies and honestly they were amazing. We kicked things off with a mountain of crispy onion rings, then I dove into the Bourbon Brisket Pot Pie which was smoky, meaty and crazy satisfying. The vibe is laid-back, the staff is friendly, and I’m already excited to go back for round two.
