We were looking for some place new and Brahma didn't disappoint! The patio was nice and spacious. Our server was patient, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. We started with brussel sprouts and the smoked tri tip queso. Both were good, but I really loved the queso. We also had the brisket dip and the bacon jalapeno burger. My burger was was so yummy- a mix of unexpected flavors that were fantastic together! We'll be adding Brahma to our list of favorites! read more

I've been to Brahma a couple times. The patio dining is great ambiance. So far everything I've had was great! I had the blackened salmon with homemade creamy pesto sauce. The sauce is sooo good! They also have the loaded fries that has pesto, bacon, pico and goat cheese. Dang that was good. We went for trivia night and it was a blast. Highly recommend. Service was spot on. Everyone was friendly and the server remembered all of our drinks immediately and offered refills. read more

Birthday celebration with 3 siblings and spouses. I had never been there and was very impressed. We sat outside with heaters and flaps down to keep warm air inside and it was quite comfortable. Our server was amazing!! We started with appetizers to share: Brussels Sprouts, artichoke dip with bread slices, and calamari & fries. All delicious! I had French dip with brisket and Swiss cheese. My husband had brisket tacos, others had fish tacos, and I don't know what else. Everyone enjoyed their food. And their drinks! read more

5 out of 5 i really like this spot. We come on thursday nights for trivia. The service is great! I said we should change name to the lillian fan club. But it's beginning to be clear to me, lillian is kind to everyone. The atmosphere is fun whether its dreary and rainy in the winter or hot and sticky in the summer. Everything is good. It truly feels chef driven. I live the house sald with a couple slices of tri tip. Their fries are steller great for sharing. And they are very accomodating. Last week i finished my drink and noticed my refill already on the table. read more

I'll start off by saying it's a cute place. We were greeted and seated quickly. It was a beautiful day out so we sat outside and for some reason they had the outdoor heaters on all over so it was very warm. It's a cute outdoor patio. The beers were good. But I don't feel they were that cold- maybe from the heaters. My hubs also surprised me with a matcha martini, I enjoyed it which is shocking because I'm not the biggest matcha fan. So great job there! For food, we only ordered the trip tip queso that was just meh. It was barely warm when we received it and it was just a small cup of some kind of a chili, it was mostly beans. It didn't seem to be tri tip queso at all there was maybe the small amount of Tri tip in it, and where's the cheese? So confused. I wouldn't order that again The chips seemed homemade. They were good. We met friends there and they ordered drinks and food. The spinach artichoke dip was probably the best thing I tasted that came with crostini's (I also used my chips for that.) My friend ordered fries which were good and they were a big portion, and ground beef tacos with the fixings on the side. She said they were good and they seemed to be nicely filled. Her man had pulled pork tacos which look beautifully done and he said they were great. They had also ordered some balsamic glazed looking brussel sprouts that he said we really good too. I might be back to try out other things. Maybe. read more

Don't snooze on this place! We went with a group of 7 and everyone enjoyed the food! The brisket french dip was very delicious. The pesto feta fries... Omg! Outstanding! The taco salad, Doc burger and The Farmhouse sandwich were all great! We celebrated a birthday and they brought a card signed by staff along with a free dessert. So sweet! Great service and beautiful ambiance. We sat outside under the lights and tree cover. I will absolutely be a returning guest! read more

I must admit I was disappointed with the food and overall service (nothing like our last visit) We went for lunch, the restaurant wasn't busy , my expectations are simple, appetizers should be served before the meal, not with the main course.my fish tacos were cold, the Caesar salads were yellow, and not fresh looking. On a positive note the Brussels sprouts were tasty and the burger was good. The entire experience was nothing exciting and not worth the $$. read more

We went Friday afternoon with a group of friends at 5pm. First time for us. Parking is somewhat difficult as it is in all of old Fair Oaks. Needless to say, we did get in and on time. Nice patio with a lot of seating. We sat on the patio which was great for a late summer afternoon. Our server was outstanding. I think her name was Lilian. Apologies if this isn't correct. She was great. Super friendly, attentive and efficient. This is pretty much a burger joint. Good burgers. Ok prices. $20 ish for most of them. Salads, on the other hand were pretty steep. $23 for a taco salad and another $8 for chicken or $10 for seafood. Drinks were good. Seasonal cocktails offered. Brahma Old Fashioned really nice. Limited wine list. This is a pretty loud joint and we all were part of that loudness. If you want romantic and cute, go inside. LOL read more

Everyone at Brahma is committed to giving you a great experience. The service is attentive and quick, and atmosphere is comfortable for a lively group conversation. They have a full bar and extensive brew collection, so you're sure to find your tastes accommodates. The main event here are the meats, though. Fantastic burgers, fish fillet sandwiches and the show stopper, the brisket. They put it in everything: brisket, French dip, with delicious au ju, brisket chili, and on a sidenote, they have tri-tip queso. it's a pretty inspired menu, you'll find something you like. Get there soon! read more

Great service and amazing food! We were seated out on the patio and it was very comfortable with the outdoor misters and fans, even though it was a warm evening. Signature cocktails were on point - they had a wide variety that included various alcohols as well as fruit juices and mixers. The Pom (grapefruit, vodka, etc.) was my favorite! Everyone at our table had a different cocktail and all were very refreshing and made well. We started off with the tater tot appetizer, which was amazing and included brisket. I has the fish tacos for my entrée and my daughter had the French dip. I will say that I had a bite of hers and it was probably one of the best French tips that I have ever tasted! The bun that was used was lovely! All of the entrées were large portions and we were very satisfied with our meals. Putting this one on the list of places that I need to revisit! read more

Service here was amazing! Waitress was attentive, funny, and an overall sweet person. She quickly brought out our starter of garlic Parmesan fries with bacon, a pesto sauce and goat cheese. This was the absolute best garlic Parmesan fries I've ever tried. The pesto ranch on the side made them even better. Unfortunately I didn't get pictures of the shrimp or brisket tacos that were ordered because I immediately proceeded to knock over and shatter my glass of water. The entire place was clean, cool and shades, and very quiet--and then here I was making a mess of everything. Someone who wasn't even our waiter came over, cleared up the glass, and brought me another water. I was very appreciative of everyone's kindness. The tacos, of course, were amazing, and I have never had anything quite like the brisket one. It was delicious, and the sweet along with the salt of the meat was an interesting taste combo. Will definitely get it again, after I try the other two! read more

A strange restaurant, but in a good way. This place is tucked away in the far back corner of a small crowded parking lot in old Fair Oaks and you wouldn't even know this place existed unless you knew it was already there. Once you do discover this place, you'll first enter what looks like a spacious and inviting covered outdoor dining area. While one would normally expect more in a "sit-down" restaurant, that area is essentially it. There is a small bar with a few tables inside, but dare I saw the main part of the restaurant is the outdoor patio area and there's nothing wrong with that, especially on a nice day. The food and service here are top notch; everyone is really friendly and helpful and the burgers are great. It may be small inside, but the tastes and environment fit perfectly with the eclectic and laid-back vibe of Old Fair Oaks. read more

Brahma Bar and Grill - All American burger w/a gluten free bun! Caesar salad (no croutons), my Fiance got ahi bites & sesame chicken wings!! (Not gf). - New American Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

A Hidden Gem in Fair Oaks -- Absolutely Incredible! My mom, gf and I finally tried Brahma after living in Carmichael for over 15 months -- and wow, what a mistake it was to wait this long! This place is phenomenal. Mother and I both had the jalapeño burger (no bacon), and it was a revelation. The patties came out steaming hot, perfectly juicy, and full of flavor. The bun was thin yet moist and delicious, and the marmalade on the burger tied everything together beautifully -- sweet, savory, and unforgettable. The fries were equally impressive -- crisp on the outside, soft and flavorful inside. My girlfriend ordered the fish tacos, and they were stupendous -- light, fresh, and bursting with flavor. Our drinks were perfectly made, and the evening ended on the highest note with the crème brûlée cheesecake, which was truly out of this world. The service was fast and friendly, and every dish arrived hot and fresh. The staff made us feel genuinely welcome. All in all, Brahma has instantly become one of our favorite restaurants in the Sacramento region. We'll definitely be coming back every few weeks. If you haven't tried it yet -- go. You'll thank yourself later. read more

Brahma Bar & Grill stays consistent. This was my second visit, and Shaina took care of us both times, easily one of the standout servers here. Menu knowledge? A1. Timing? Perfect. Hospitality? Genuine. Her recommendations have been spot-on both visits!! the brisket tacos are a must-try, and the Big Kahuna sandwich is elite. The flavored teas she suggested were straight-up refreshing too. As someone who reviews restaurants and content-creates, I appreciate when a server elevates the experience and Shaina absolutely does. Brahma has great food, but the service is what makes the whole thing memorable. Highly recommend. Thankyou SHAINA !! Will be back soon!! read more

Stopped in on a Thursday evening with a friend, without a reservation. It was lively but not packed. We sat in the bar. From the vibe to the service to the food, this place was great! This was my first time at Brahma's. I always like to ask the wait staff for recommendations on the food, particularly when I've not been there before. I knew I wanted a sandwich that wasn't a burger so was eyeing 3 of the options they have on their menu. She immediately recommended the Honey Do, which I had been leaning towards. I asked about the spice level she and answered my question with confidence. Her recommendation, and input about the spice level being more of a sweet spicy but not too strong, was spot on! The sandwich was great. I replaced the fries with tots, which I love having the option to do. I'm not generally a dessert person but for some reason I was in the mood so we ordered the beignet's. They were AMAZING! They showed up perfectly warm and fluffy. I love that they had a fruit drizzle instead of a chocolate drizzle (I don't have much of a sweet tooth), along with a little whipped creme. I enjoyed everything about this dish. Service was also great. For me, it was the right combination of letting us be to chat but also checking in on us periodically. She was also friendly and smiled every time she came by. read more

I really enjoying coming to this place! I've been here a couple times, but finally now reviewing them. They have a pretty small indoor seating area, but their outdoor area is really cute and they can make it pretty warm with their heaters on colder days. This past time I went I got their Caesar salad and their Garlic Pesto Fries. I added chicken to their salad and it came out steaming hot! Really nice and juicy. Their garlic pesto fries were also delicious. They came with goat cheese on it which was a great pairing with the pesto and bacon. They have a pretty big cocktail, wine, and beer selection! Every time I've been the service has been great and really attentive! Definitely recommend stopping by and giving it a try! read more

Outstanding service. Our waitress she was so friendly and helpful. We sat outside on the cute patio area as it was a perfect day! We all had the same thing, brisket tacos which were amazing.

Our initial plan was to stop by Sangria La, however, we wanted more of a meal vs. appetizers, so we decided to curve our way there since it was next door. Food was amazingly delicious and fresh.

Service was great, I thought it was cute when the host seated us he put his palm out toward the heater to see if we could feel it. Lol Lilly our server was very sweet and very attentive. You can easily miss this place it's tucked in a corner in fair oaks village. I love the patio area it's equipped with heaters which is super convenient and nice. The French dip was delicious I absolutely loved the soft bread it was perfect. The brisket was tender, I loved how the bread was warm and the cheese was cheesing lol The pork tacos were VERY flavorful in a good way they are a little messy though. May be back to try the Brussel sprouts they looked really good. read more

Parking is rough, but if you are lucky then you can enjoy good food, great service and a decent selection of beer

Great restaurant tucked away in older Fair Oaks - a beautiful renovated location with great indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor has plenty of spots near the TV if you're trying to catch the game with a beer and some friends, and outdoor seating is spacious and comfortable - great for families and friends as well. Food is pretty tasty overall - the sandwiches and burgers are flavorful and juicy, and the fries seem like they're double fried and crispy with all of the right sauces to pair with. Our server was super friendly, upbeat, and kind - really made our meal enjoyable and everything running smoothly. They have a great happy hour menu - something to definitely check out if you're looking for a gathering after work with friends! Parking is pretty limited in the adjacent lot which they share w/ several other businesses. You may have to search for street parking, which can also be challenging. Prices are a little bit on the higher side, but still reachable for a family meal out. Overall would definitely recommend - come check them out and support your local small businesses! read more

Went for lunch with a group, and service was great. We sat outside, and was warm enough with the heaters on. Brisket chilli was great, but the fish tacos weren't great. It appeared they were made with the same fish that they probably make their fish sandwich with, but chopped into squares. There was more crunch, and batter then fish. Serves me right for ordering fish at a meat/barbecue place. Would definitely go here again! read more
