Nice place. Cozy inside and decent space outside. Service was great - both of the staff who helped us were courteous and upbeat. The food was very tasty, but the pizza needed another minute or two in the oven with the center of the pizza a little soft.
The tap list was good. We will be back for another try!

Food was marginal- service poor. Notice many tables were getting their meals delivered at separate times. Often 5 minutes or more apart. Appears they need more servers?

'26/1 2nd review ('21/1 1st review, but customer several times over past few years):
-- Amazing food/service during '21/1 COVID shut down of indoor/outdoor dining review, and still so '26/1 updated review: true attention to detail, with above & beyond accommodations.
-- Easy to find direct across from Old Fair Oaks Park, so easy to enjoy a stroll in the sunlight among the roosters before or after the dining experience.
-- Parking can be tricky being an old town, so be prepared to walk. Enter/exit through outside seating door not either front door.
-- Decently large, year-round outdoor patio under the large oak shade trees.
-- While menu is typical beer pub food (burgers, pizza, salads, & deep fried appetizers), it is prepared with a bit more panache. Pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw is a worthy, satisfying meal.
-- Full bar, & bar seating.
-- During these lean times, worth supporting to keep in business.
>> Bottom Line: Go check 'em out for a time well spent with friends/family.

Recommended dishes: Pulled Pork Sandwich

Went two years ago and food was great. Went back the other day and food has taken a downturn.

Fair Oaks Brew Pub is easily one of the best spots in the area. From the moment you walk in, the service stands out — the staff is genuinely attentive, friendly, and on top of everything without being overbearing. You never have to wait long for anything, and they actually care about making sure you’re enjoying yourself.

The drinks are made to perfection. Whether it’s a craft beer or a cocktail, everything is balanced, fresh, and clearly made by people who know what they’re doing. The food is just as impressive — flavorful, high-quality, and consistently great every time.

The pizza deserves its own shout-out. It’s not your basic pub pizza — it’s gourmet. Perfectly baked crust, quality toppings, and bold flavors that make you want to come back just for that.

The outdoor seating area is another huge plus. It’s comfortable, spacious, and has really nice aesthetics — great lighting, relaxed vibes, and perfect for hanging out with friends or a date night.

If you’re looking for a place with excellent food, top-tier drinks, and outstanding service in a great atmosphere, Fair Oaks Brew Pub absolutely delivers.

The food wasnt the best....wasnt bad though but the beer was top notch. The ambiance was great and our server was great. Our server stayed with a smile and we even complimented her on her service verbally and in our tip as well. Compliments dont pay bills. Id come back due to her service and the beer.

Revised: Was really excited to try this place out. We came there and asked if there was seating inside because it was cold out. She said, no seating inside. Didn’t even offer us to wait or a wait time or anything. So we left and called and a lady who answered said there was inside seating and to come on in. We ended up going to River City Brewing because of the way the hostess communicated and treated us. We also noticed the people behind us left for the same reason. And yea, there was someone seating people. It was a lady.

Reply to owner. There was a lady seating people.

The menu states they have a rotating IPA on tap. Asked the server which beer it was and they said they had to check. Came back later and told me the name. I asked what it tasted like, and they said they didn’t know and then got argumentative saying I asked for an IPA and it just tastes like an IPA. OK… so I ordered it. They then brought me a Pilsner. I asked another server to bring me the IPA since that is what I ordered. Well, at least the patio is nice.

Prompt service with seating and food. Nice pizza toppings, crust could have a little more chew to it. I like thin crust but with more body. Good sushi. Good beer selection. Great employees.
