Amazing - Edit
Loved the options and the vibe of the whole restaurant! Went with my family (who are not vegan) and it was great to have so many options for everyone!
Read moreMy boyfriend and I split the pub pretzel (vegan version with the pimento beer cheese) and then I had the avocado tacos! Loved both of the items and the fact that most of the menu can be made vegan and has the options clearly listed on every page!
The beer and atmosphere were also amazing!
Pros: vegan options listed on menu, amazing food and beer, great atmosphere

Shishito Peppers - Edit
I love coming to this brewery with friends because of the options they have. I recently tried the shishito peppers. The vegan option is made with chipotle seasoning and a friendly garlic aioli. Really tasty and massive portion for the price. I took mine to go and they didn’t last the ride home!

Vegan and family friendly - Edit
Bravo to Golden Road for offering creative vegan fare in a family friendly environment. The pretzel is big, soft, chewy and perfect. The Vegan Loco Moco is a savory brunch dish with a tasty mushroom fried rice, tofu scramble. It doesn’t need the fake meat that comes with it. The Raspberry French toast was a major disappointment. Deep fried sticks that tasted nothing like the bready French toast I love. I’ll be back to try other vegan dishes on their menu.
Read morePros: Creative vegan options, Brunch , Family friendly
Cons: Some food too oily , Vegan French toast is one of the worst dishes

Brewery Goals - Edit
Yaaaasssss! This is brewery goals. I have been here when it was just a tasting room. Enjoyed the beer but.... so I've gone to DTLA a few times and love it there. But this is amazing!
Read morePing pong, outdoor and indoor space, lots of board type games, a sand area to lounge including a couple of hammocks and grassy area. Children and dog friendly. The decor is bright with plenty of seating.
Beer selection is great with plenty to variety. Food is 1/2 vegan half omni.
Buttercup and I came in for the impossible burger. The portion size was huge we should have shared because we were only able to do half. The tater tots were really good too. Service was excellent.
Pros: Lots of Vegan options, Great beer, Entertainment
Cons: Loud, loud, loud

Hip new hangout - Edit
Very busy and loud so just be aware of that if you're thinking of coming here. It's not a bad thing. It goes with the vibe of the whole place. They take reservations online but we went on the spur of the moment so the wait was about an hour. They have ping pong, Connect Four and other games to pass time. Service was good and attentive once seated.
Read moreWe tried the Impossible Burger and we're happy to see that their version is completely vegan, bread cheeze and all. It was a much better option than what is found at Umami Burger.
Almost the entire menu has a vegan option so definitely worth a visit!

Lightlife is their vegan burger option now. Really great and is apparently the vegan burger of choice at Angel Stadium a Rios the street too. Vegan options are still plentiful (if not more so) and clearly labeled on their menu
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Good service
Cons: Long wait times, Very loud

Save your money or stick to beer - Edit
I've made a couple of efforts to eat at Golden Road prior to my recent experience, without any success. They get EXTREMELY busy and they *DO NOT* do reservations. However, upon speaking to the hostess, she advised that a same day visit could be submitted to their website to hold a table but it is only available for a same day visit.
Read moreOn being seated, my boyfriend is on crutches and the server was weaving us in-between tables of seated diners with literally no room for my boyfriend to get through. I had to stop the server to ask for an alternative route to the table. I know this may sound like I'm knit picking but I feel like it's common sense to seat your disabled customers and not guide them through a labyrinth of tables, other customers, dogs and servers, putting the customer at risk to injure themselves. We were seated outside in what looks like a 1960s beach party....in a litter box. There were dogs and kids running around everywhere and that made it difficult to hold a conversation. A little boy ran up to our server, threw his arms around our server's leg and clung tightly and I thought to myself that is why we can't have nice things.
Moving on, our server asked for our drink order, being sober, we had water. The water is self service and I liked that I didn't have to wait for a refill. There are several large Igloo coolers peppered around the restaurant that people gather and hang around at to chat. There are clear plastic cups littered everywhere, it didn't seem to be a priority to keep the water filled, cups stocked or to discard the used cups. We don't drink and other than beer, their beverage selection is minimal and poor.
The really cool thing about Golden Road is that the menu has quite a few vegan or items that could be modified vegan. Our server didn't give us any help with ordering and was not very helpful. We ended up ordering the Impossible burger, fried avocado tacos, mac & cheese and the beet carpaccio salad. We didn't have to wait long for our food, which was both surprising and nice! Unfortunately, this is where everything kind of fell apart for me here.
The impossible burger had a house-made bun and came with a generous amount of shoestring fries. The cheese on the burger was a shredded cheese and wasn't good. The burger itself looks suspiciously like a conventional burger with the inside of it pink from being prepared "medium rare." I never thought I'd have to use that phrase again. So weird. The burger patty itself was flavorless. I don't mean bland. I literally mean without ANY flavor whatsoever. Edible but a boring waste of calories.
The fried avocado tacos were OK. The avocados were fresh but again, lacking flavor.
The "mac & cheese," is in quotes because it was nothing anywhere near resembling mac & cheese AT ALL. It was penne pasta tossed with a roasted red pepper oil. This had a little smokey flavor but was NOTHING like mac & cheese. The server didn't tell us that the vegan modification for this dish made it nothing like what anyone would expect. It was really disappointing.
The beet carpaccio salad was actually really good. The chef left off the vegan ricotta cheese and the server had to bring me a separate dish of it. The salad was rich, flavorful and overall, the best item we tried. It was pricey for the size but would be the only thing I would go back and order again.
Upon completion of the meal, our server explained the menu discrepancies and advised us that the production of their food has changed and not for the better. Apparently, the impossible burger is made from a burger mix. I suggested that they add some spices because the mix is bland. He laughed and agreed.
At best, the food is pushing mediocre but has the potential to be great, however, they'd need a more adventurous executive chef that isn't afraid of flavor.
Pros: many vegan options, quick table wait time, dog creeping
Cons: pricey, lacking flavor, kids running around

Great beer, lots of vegan options! - Edit
I came here just to drink beer, but was so awestruck by the amount of vegan options on the menu, I couldn’t not order! My boyfriend and I both ended up splitting an Impossible Burger and some fried avocado tacos! Both were excellent! If you’re vegan don’t shy away from here, over 85% of the menu is vegan! And of course the beer...
