Do you like all types of beer? (They offer flights too) Do you enjoy a riveting game of trivia, specifically on Thursday nights? (The trivia host was really entertaining but a bit rude when people starting rushing over from excitement.) Do you like people? (Especially engaging bartenders and servers who provide quick service?) Do you enjoy great bar food including yummy burgers, calamari, fish and chips? Well this place is for you! read more

Dropped by for a Friday afternoon beer and snack. There was a decent crowd given was 4 PM. I'd give the beer selection 4 stars. I had the lazy hazy, which was nice and refreshing. For a snack, I ordered the calamari. It was a good portion; the quality was OK. Correct me if I am wrong, but tasted like it was frozen. Still, a good deal for happy hour. The service at the bar was barely adequate. No greeting, no conversation, no checking in on the food or the beverage... I even pushed my three-quarter finished beverage forward to see if he would recognize that and ask me if I wanted another, but of course he did not. Not even a word when I asked for the check. This was consistent with his interactions with everybody else at the bar. My years in the service industry were based on the fact that you want to increase sales. Increasing sales led to more money in everyone's pocket, including mine as a bartender. You can't build a regular clientele when your service indicates that you don't give a about the customer or the bar read more

stumbled across this place because another brewery on the same street was closed. this place has beer flights for $10 which is a really good deal. however, the selection of beer was limited- a lot of the items on the menu were unavailable and the ones we did choose were not good. my bf loves beer and even he was disappointed with the taste of beer. i chose more of the fruity ones but they tasted like vinegar and the ipas were way too bitter the fish and chips were mediocre at best. the fried fish tasted rubbery like it came from a frozen bag. the fries were undercooked and not seasoned. we were originally going to order more dishes but did not want to order anything else after this service is ok, we were one of two tables at the restaurant but the service was still slow and not attentive read more

Nice spot to grab a beer, eat bar food and watch some sports games as they have humongous televisions. Outdoor seating also available on Murphy street. I'm not a beer person but my husband thought his beer was amazing. They also do have wine cocktails and happy hour from 4-6. HH includes some draft beers, a couple wines and cocktails and small plates. I wasn't a huge fan of anything we ate, but I also don't particularly like greasy bar food. Tuna dip was very creamy, the chips it came with were addictive. Pretzel bites were good as well, I liked the cheese dip a lot. Burger was really ordinary- the meat tasted a bit dry, the burger could've used some cheese. read more

Great happy hour!!! Excellent service by Julio- he was very helpful and fun!! Three cheers for Julio and Off the Rails Brewing!!

I came here with a large group of coworkers for Happy Hour on a Thursday evening around 6pm. We were seated at a taller table near the entrance and and they somewhat crammed us in so it was pretty tight for everyone. They weren't too busy at the beginning but the place definitely got busy around 7pm. However, even when it wasn't too busy, the service was so-so and they staff weren't very attentive when it came to providing utensils after serving our dish or coming by to check on our table. However, one of the staff was friendly & funny and I wouldn't mind having him as our server in the future! For the food, I ended up ordering a seafood jambalaya, which tasted alright but was overall a bit too salty for my taste. The seafood also didn't feel super fresh (with the fish feeling like it came from a can). Overall the place seems like it would be good for large groups and casual gathering with beer, but probably not the best place for entrees. read more

For me, this place is convenient -- a good go-to. This is a good place to socialize with family, friends, and coworkers over beer. The food here is standard; typical burger and fries. Off The Rails is a popular spot for our team lunches since we work nearby and getting seats for a team of 4-6 is never an issue. Parking between S Murphy Ave and E Washington Ave was limited because of construction but the parking on S Frances Street should be fine. Just keep in mind, there's a lot of people on Saturday morning because of the Farmer's Market. Parking will be difficult then. One issue I have, which isn't Off the Rail's fault, is that there's a lot of dust on Murphy Ave. If you're doing outdoor seating on a windy day dust, be prepared to have dust get in the drinks, food, and even eyeballs. So be careful. Best to do indoor seating or the outside seats in the back near the park lot. read more

All the food is very good and the drinks are delicious also the service is super attentive and friendly highly recommended

This is a pretty good spot to visit. My husband and I came for the first time and we were very happy with our experience. Service was great! The food was awesome AND discounted with the lunch special. Also the happy hour has some pretty great options. We sat outside which was perfect for the weather. The entire Murphy's Avenue strip is well worth a visit! read more

Love the location and the open seatings. There are outdoor and indoor seatings as well as by the bar. The drinks are great and the beer is a good selection. The staff are super friendly! Always love when you're in good company. Our party orders the pizza, nachos, tomato soup, and burgers. Everything was super yummy. The pizza was smaller then expected but overall it tastes great! Definitely order different plates and share with your friends. This place takes reservations so it was nice to book for a large party in advance! There is a garage parking right by the restaurant so not a far walk. read more

The beer here is excellent, the atmosphere is fun and inviting The two-story location allows plenty of room for folks to spread out. The sausage plate was a little disappointing not quite what I was expecting but still good and the service was excellent. I would definitely return but probably try something different on the menu read more

Good food, fast service! I came here on a Thursday evening and was surprised that the place was almost fully empty. There's a ton of seating, both indoors and in the large heated tent, and convenient parking in the adjacent lot. Our server was very attentive and I started with the IPA Aperol Spritzer, which I really liked (ended up ordering a second one). The Aperol is a stronger flavor here than the IPA, but it's a fun twist on a classic cocktail. I also ordered the N.C. Hot Chicken Sandwich, which came out very quickly and was delicious! The hot sauce on it is not very spicy, but definitely flavorful. It also came with a side of fries, so it was plenty of food for me. My friend got the Pretzel Bites and really enjoyed those, as well. Overall, great dinner and drinks, but I would love to come back when the atmosphere is more lively! read more

If you're in downtown Sunnyvale, you have to check out this brewery! Not only do they make their own beers, but the food is really good too! We LOVED their Brussels Sprouts, Garlic Fries and Wings. Be sure to save room though because their desserts are worth getting - especially the House Donuts!!  When we went, there was a Trivia Night going on upstairs, but every Thursday is Game Night, Live Music on select Saturdays of each month, and Happy Hour Monday-Friday from 3-6pm.

Located in downtown Sunnyvale. You can park in the large lot at the intersection of E Washington Ave and S Sunnyvale Ave. Off The Rails Brewing has plenty of seating inside. I came with a larger party and we were able to be seated right away at one of the long benched tables at the front of the restaurant. Touchless menus are available via QR code. You can find the menu here: https://order.tabletab.io/feed/restaurants/61/menus/110/ Even though there didn't seem to be a full house the night I visited, service was rather slow. We waited about 40 minutes or so before our food finally started coming out of the kitchen. We were definitely edging on hangry :) Thankfully, the food was great. Tri Tip Cheese Steak || $16 White cheddar, lemon garlic aioli, grilled red bell peppers and onions on house-made ciabatta with a side salad or fries. I opted for fries, which were hot and crisp. The tri tip sandwich is DELICIOUS. The meat, cheese, pepper, and onion blend together so perfectly. Tri tip was tender. Veggies were grilled on point and flavorful. NC Hot or Not Chicken Sandwich || $15 I tried a bite of my companion's hot chicken sandwich and found the chicken to be tender, juicy, crunchy. The sandwich buns were soft and the accompanying coleslaw and sauces paired gloriously well. I was delightfully surprised at how much better the food is now compared to my previous unpleasant food experience here. The menu is completely different from what it was pre-covid. I'm not sure if the chef changed as well, but the food is fantastic now. I would come back again to try more of the new menu! read more

I came here once with friends and it was good but it was super loud. It was hard to hear our table which was super close, but the drinks were good. The service wasn't great but it was a crowded night. They didn't close out our tab for a while but overall, it was okay and I'd go back for a game day. read more

This is a cute spot right in downtown Sunnyvale, nice for small groups. Service was really quick and attentive, but thought the beers were just okay. They were out of a couple of choices so I just picked some random ones for a flight. My favorite was probably the hops on rye. I wish they had a sour available too! Food wasn't bad. I tried the onion rings, nachos, and garlic fries which paired well with the beers. read more

This great brewery. Has outdoor and indoor seating. Great place for a group function. The beer selection is awesome. Food was ok that I had (chicken wings), my buddy got avocado burger and said was real good read more

The food tasted like they bought Walmart frozen section food then heated it in a microwave before letting it sit on the counter for an hour to then serve it to us. The food was luke warm and tasted disgusting. We tried four beers in a flight and only one tasted remotely palatable. I will never recommend this place to others and will not be returning. Waste of money and my time. read more

***Pre-COVID review*** While we were in San Jose for the weekend last year, we wanted a place to watch the 49ers game before headed home. This is located in the Heritage District of Sunnyvale and it was close by our hotel. There is a parking lot in the back of this area and there's also a back entrance. Their back patio area has plenty of outdoor seating and the interior is very spacious. It also has a second floor with plenty of elbow room complete with arcade games and a pool table. We grabbed a table across the bar and in front of the projector TV and made it in time for the kickoff to start. The bartender was surely enthusiastic and she was rooting loudly for the 49ers every time they made a good play. We had a party of four and ordered a pitcher of beer (Honey Ale) and got myself a Baltic-style Porter called Baggage Handler. The Honey Ale at 4.5% was crisp, light and smooth. It's brewed with honey and there was definitely a hint of honey, but it wasn't sweet...which is a good thing. The Baggage Handler at 8.2% had a nice kick with a hint of chocolate. Enjoyed both, but I am partial to ports and stouts. As for bar food, we got the Hot Wings, Garlic Fries and Fried Calamari. Yeah, I know...typical bar food that hit the spot on all of 'em. They all came with a side of different kind of sauces that were all enjoyable. Hot Wings was coated with a nice spice that wasn't overpowering and the calamari had a nice crispy batter. Garlic Fries were seasoned with just the right amount of salt that one craves for in this type of environment. We ordered pretty much the same throughout the duration of our stay and had a good time as the Niners secured the victory. Can't say the same today though as we suffered another L, but overall, it's a good bar with excellent beer and good food. Definitely would return again as I actually follow their account on IG and they are temporary closed due to the current SIP orders. They are also dog-friendly and the next time they're open, I'll be bringing Jaime along with us. #YelpChallenge2020 review No. 93 read more

I came here with some friends on a Saturday evening at 6:30 and were able to find seating around the bar area. We mainly came here to try out their beers since their beers are brewed and crafted on site, but we tried a few appetizers as well. I thought both the food and the beers I had were refreshing, flavorful, and complimented each other nicely. Service was great. They checked up on us often (party of 8) and kept asking if there was anything else we needed. She even went through the trouble of splitting the bill individually for us. This is a great place to hangout with friends and family and try a variety of their craft beers and food. They have live music up on the second floor, patio seating in the back, and plenty of indoor seating downstairs and upstairs. read more

Tempted to make it 3 stars, but the overall experience demands 2. Good news: Food delivered quickly. And they did contact me about an item they could not fulfill. Coleslaw was ok. Mac and cheese was ok. Bad news: I ordered a Reuben but they called to say it was only for St. Pat's day. My order was 2 days later, which means they don't consider keeping the online menu accurate to be a priority. And I got 2 phone calls about this, which means they don't coordinate with each other very well. Worse news: Food had little flavor. Fried chicken crust was ok and meat was reasonably juicy, but really, no flavor. BBQ Ribs were not barbecued. Texture of the meat made it likely it was steamed, and then doused in sauce. But again -- and this is hard to do with pork ribs -- the meat had no flavor. read more

My fourth brewery of the day. I only got one beer here. A raspberry sour, it was okay. Not because the beer wasn't good it's just that I don't really like raspberry sours but for some reason I order them. Anyway, this place seems more like restaurant first, then brewery. The beer menu wasn't much to my liking. The parking here stinks. However? The space is spacious and the service was good. The space was too bright. I like my breweries to be dimly lit. Makes for a better drinking experience. read more

4 star on the food. We had Nacho cheese fries and that was good. Not pictured cause that was devoured in no time. Pretzel bites were good and great size and amount to share. Jambalaya was good and wishing there were more! 3 star on the beer selection, I thought they would have move. Nevertheless it was still good to eat outdoor and good service read more

What a wonderful dinner experience at off the Rails in Sunnyvale Downtown, definitely if you live close by or visiting Sunnyvale don't miss to come and try their delicious food and their amazing beer but nevertheless I was surprised of the amazing service we had from ALEX he was very knowledgeable of the food and beer menu and with his guidance we could to choose the perfect meals and beer with his recommendations. Thanks Alex next time we're back we hope to see you! I was surprised of the negative reviews on yelp but I wanted to check the place out anyway because of their beer selection and decided to invited my friends! And my friends and I love all the food! My Cesar salad was very flavorful and the shrimp had a type of condiment on top that give and amazing texture each bite, my husband and my friend ate the trip beef stake and let me have a bite, the tenderness and the juiciness was on point. My other friend had a western burger and he said was cook to perfection and their house special dressing was super good along with the Cajun fries. The appetizers where also delicious calamari super crispy just like we like it, and Nachos where the boom as well ! Overall nice dinner and definitely their server ALEX was super pro when explaining all the beer we had a few pitchers of their lazy hazy which we love. Thanks of the rail ! We had an amazing dinner ! read more

Service was bad: no water, no napkins and service outside until we asked. Overpriced, no-flavored Burger (BBBB). Plain churro with sauce that has the consistency of melted pudding. read more

I want to love this place. Local beer? Awesome! The beer is great! I would recommend you try the reds for sure if you come here. The menu is not accurate to what are on them items received. Many items on the menu will come with ingredients not stated. Be warned for all food allergy concerns. The fries come with cheese which is not listed on the menu. Enjoy if you can! read more

We came for a birthday celebration. Raspberry Sour and Mango Sour: $18 for 12 oz each. Mac N Cheese: The macaroni was quite al dente at first and the sauce was more watery than expected. Buffalo Wings: $18 for 5 wings. Great flavor, but not many wings for the price. Calamari: Excellent squid to breading ratio. Chicken Alfredo: Best dish of the meal. The best garlic bread with cheese melted on top. Plenty of chicken thigh meat. read more

This place is great. I came on a night when they had stand up comedy going on upstairs which was a real treat. After looking at the photos of the food on yelp I decided on the margarita pizza although I was apprehensive. Turned out to be absolutely delicious. Also really enjoyed the comedy show, especially the closer he was the best. I do wish I was able to drink some more as the servers were not super attentive upstairs. The speakers sounded great upstairs for the age and I was happy that I was able to hear the show in the back. read more

Came in at 2pm...and they said they could not do a beer flight...because the small glasses cause too much foam? And they were too busy to pour flights bc the slow pours take too long. But really why would you have flights on the menu. Ok so we say just give us a pint...but now they cant pour the stout at all bc it's too foamy in general? And the sours are sold out. But literally not what you said 2 min ago. At that point we just left. Would not bother coming back. read more

Eh. Walked in and sat at the bar. Was about 15 minutes before someone even noticed me. Despite there being minimal people at the bar and 4-5 employees walking around behind the bar. No one really checked on me or really helped me almost the entire time I was here. Once someone asked me what I wanted, I ordered a beer, got it quickly but then they forgot about me again and it took another 15+ minutes before someone asked me if I wanted food. When I asked what I should get, the person said not much is good here. Maybe something from the kids menu. Then they recommended the fish tacos. I order the tacos. They were very fried and not much else. Ant say there was much flavor or point to them. At least the avocado was fresh. The overall place is also very loud. I came alone but would not think of coming here with other as it would be hard to even have a conversation. Probably won't be coming back or recommending. read more

They have brunch in the summer and early fall! We just went with our kids. It was super delicious and wonderful fast service. My kids are notoriously picky, light eaters but they ate so much-everything we ordered was great, but we especially loved the oat flour pancakes and fried chicken (so crispy and light) and the potatoes and omelette. We will definitely be back! read more

We came here for a quick bite during the Sunnyvale fair. We got burgers and a crispy chicken sandwich. However we waited inside by the host to someone to set a table for the outdoor seating. Overall for 4 entrees were a bit pricey considering the small portion of the 3 burgers,fries, 2 tacos, 3 sodas, and beer for $100. The interior is very industrial with nice AC on a hot day. Parking is conveniently available on the street. Service was good delivering food but I had to walk inside from the outdoor table to find a server to pay for the check. read more

I went into the place because it was freezing outside with my kids. My kids wanted Ramen Seas and I came in here for a burger. The nice lady who ran the front allowed me to bring in my outside food. She was sweet and knew it was freezing outside. METRO CAFE would not allow me to bring food saying it was policy.. I ended up getting the lunch burger which was only 13 bucks. It was a western but I replaced the bbq sauce with garlic ailoli and its ! The burger was juicy and had so much flavor and the fries were amazing. I had thier beer before and they have a nice selection... When an establishment lends a helping hand I will support, market, and spread the word. Thanks again off the rails brewing for your kindness and delicious food. read more

located in the heart of downtown sunnyvale, murphy avenue, this brewery offers breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and happy hour! i actually thought this was a place for evening happy hour only but was surprised to see breakfast items on the menu. i was with a friend, strolling down murphy ave, looking for a bite to eat, and after seeing the breakfast items, we were sold! it wasn't crowded at all on this sunday afternoon, despite most of the neighboring restaurants being packed, so we counted ourselves lucky that we wouldn't have to wait for a table. i ordered the tofu scramble ($15) which was a vegan breakfast scramble: seasoned tofu with mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, served with toasted foccacia and potatoes. i swapped the potatoes for the buttermilk biscuit since i'm a sucker for an old fashioned biscuit! as soon as my plate arrived, i attacked the golden brown biscuit, and it was crispy on the outside, and fluffy soft on the inside. i didn't even need butter or jam to make it taste good, it was perfect all on its own! the tofu scramble was savory and yummy, i think they added curry or turmeric to it? it was golden yellow, with just the right amount of seasoning, and a good mix of veggies. it was both delicious and filling! the green salad was fresh with just the right amount of dressing. i was so full that i didn't eat my foccacia so i grabbed a takeout box for later! our waiter was super nice, super attentive, checking in on us frequently, and very prompt in taking our orders, delivering food, and the bill at the end of the meal. the restrooms in the rear well well kept and appointed. since murphy st is closed to vehicular traffic, great perk of being here, pedestrian friendly, you'll need to park in one of the city lots a block or so away. there is plenty of parking near downtown, you just have to be willing to walk a little. i'm definitely looking forward to my next visit here, maybe for happy hour or taco tuesday to check out the evening scene! read more

I've been a few times when they offered trivia both pre- and post-quarantine. The food was usually just fine, although the service could be pretty slow at times - they did seem to be understaffed when I've been. One lower star rating is for the odd decor in the upstairs. It's clear that they never really spruced up or made a decision about the upstairs portion, which doesn't match at all with the remodel they did downstairs. The other lower star rating is for their terrible take-home selection. I had a gift card that I won from trivia that I wanted to use for forever, and I decided on getting some beers for a party, but all they had was one brew and it was canned over a year ago. Drinkable, sure, but pretty bad for a place that brews its own beer. Their fresh stuff is decent, though, so they're solidly mid. read more
