Brewsters Burger

So this is the second time we tried this place. The first time we went, we were told sit wherever (apparently you can sit in the pizza express side too, they are connected). We sat in the, what seemed to be, main area by the music and bar. Waited a long while, no one ever came and we left.But.....we had heard others say how yummy it is, so off we went tonight to try again. Same deal, sit wherever...we did. This time we at least had service right away, looked like one person running the bar and tables, whatever, she was very friendly and came right over once we sat down.Ordered burgers, asked to be cooked medium because the menu says they cook them all medium well unless otherwise specified. Also ordered some pickle chips and spicy green beans. Pickle chips were just ok, green beans were good, but not spicy at all. Got the burgers, very over cooked in spite of our request. I could taste the "char" as some would call it, but I'd call it burnt. If it had not been overcooked, probably would have been a decent burger (I got the bbq and my husband got the spicy one, but both were overcooked). Overall food was just ok and the vibe is just weird is all I can say, not inviting, not fun, just weird. As much as I love to support local, sadly, we will not be back, $60+ for 2 burgers and some green beans and pickles is a bit much, especially when it was just mediocre

I got food poisoning aftereating Mac n cheese bites & fish tacos . Eat at your own risk

Great burgers, tacos, and fish & chips. Extensive beer list served in cold glass with local knowledge of the beers. Good service, easy parking, easy on/off I-80 freeway. Phelicia is a very good bartender and waitress. I've beee. There twice and really like it. Tasty burger and excellent sweet potato fries.

We went to Brewster's to have dinner and listen to music. My boyfriend had the Brewster Burger. I had the fish tacos. Both meals were good. Enjoyed the drinks and the live music.

Terrible beer. Anything they have tastes like the lines have not been cleaned for a very long time. What they say is on the tap handle is not. Beer is old, tastes even worse is the food. Want food poisoning go here.

Tried this place for the first time. Hard going here with Joe Caribe still fresh in my mind, but I can't hold that against new blood. I was disappointed they turned Joes into a Pizza Factory, but encouraged by the prospect of a unique burger place. And I think that's what they provided. Still looks like Joes bar, comfortable and inviting. Bar tender / waitress was pleasant and talkative. We sat at the bar. Great beer selection with some mondo big beers (32oz) for about $12. My wife and I tried a few different things to get a feel for it. Pickle chips- yummy Sweet potato tots- very sweet and I loved the sauceBurger- delicious but I think it will be controversial Explanation- it's a small burger, as you will see in some of the other comments, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in quality (as with most things in life). It's wagyu beef and very well seasoned and prepared. We have places in town that make great burgers that are big (best is club car in my opinion), but this is just a better quality burger, and that's what they're going for. Give it try. Ale house started with wagyu beef but reverted back I think because it's just not popular enough to pay the upgrade. If you want a burger and fries, most people are looking for a full belly and a beer to wash it down. But I hope they at least keep it on the menu, even if they do have to eventually dumb it down to stay afloat. Bottom line, definitely worth a try or two.

Nice staff, fast service, but the fish 'n chip were ridiculously salty, and the beer was flat.

Thank you Cruise for recommending the Stallion Pilsners . Delicious!! Also you were welcoming . The service and food was excellent!!!! Clean and great atmosphere. I had the grilled chicken with garlic parmesean fries So good. Great local hang out

Mason greeted us from behind the bar was we walked in, as he did every customer that came in while we had lunch on our drive back from Tahoe.The Brewster burger was delicious and our kids completely finished their entrees (chx tenders and mini corn dogs, both with fries). The kids meals included soft serve dessert which was a delightful surprise for the kids. Mason did a great job attending to the multiple tables and keeping the vibe comfortable and casual, checking in and chatting with everyone.

Had a late lunch there on Sunday. The place was comfortable, good beer on draft, good service, and we liked the food. The fish and chips are $10 on Sunday. We like this place. Will try a few more things on the next visit and see if we go up from 4-stars.
