Brewsters Restaurant

Wonderful experience. Traveling from out of town Saturday night, when we arrived we were sat instantly & Zach was out waiter. Great guy, very attentive, he recommended the cheese steak to me and it was a hit. Extra meaty meal, flavorful and not a soggy bun. The steak was juicy and cooked to order 👌🏾 This was a GREAT stop with great service (Zach's the man🤘🏾) & I took half the cheese steak & waffle fries home with me.

Walked in on a whim and am glad I did. The service was wonderul, the food was exquisite, and the draft beer (AKB Pale) was noticeably fresh. NY steak paired w/ halibut is now my favourite version of surf & turf! Many thanks to Zach et. al. for the pleasant experience.

Great service by Zack our server. Food was served hot and was very good. Enjoyed the flight of beers to taste. I had the beef tips that were excellent and so tender. House salad to round out my meal.

I’ve never had food so good! Definitely my new favorite restaurant! If I could rate it any higher ai’d give 100/10 !! Awesome atmosphere and service! Our server kept our drinks full to the brim the entire experience! Anne was amazing!

The outside temperature read -45 F, my wife and I had a red eye flight out of Fairbanks and we wanted a hearty dinner before sitting at the airport and on a plane for three hours. We chose Brewster’s knowing we had been satisfied with their food in the past. The blonde hostess girl who we asked if we could sit at a booth had an attitude, a really bad attitude when we simply asked to change our table. I’ve eaten at just about every restaurant in Fairbanks and have never experienced such a bad attitude from ANYONE working. Despite the rude hostess, our server, Zach, was very polite and attentive. His personality was so completely opposite of that of the hostess, it made our dining experience much nicer than our initial experience walking into the restaurant. Our food was hot and tasty and after a week in temperatures that never exceeded -35 F, it hit the spot. I would dine at this Brewster’s location again, maybe next time the hostess will be in a better mood.

We had lunch here and loved it so much that we came back for dinner! We were still kind of full, so we shared a salmon burger. It was delicious! I wish we knew what they marinated their salmon in. Service was excellent from the bright and bubbly Acacia. She made the meal even better! Love the decor here. Also love watching the staff...they're like a well-oiled machine. Great team!

We enjoyed Brewsters so much we visited on back to back days while in Fairbanks. Our UBER driver suggested Brewsters and recommended the halibut pieces. They were crispy and fluffy and light. Sooo scrumptious. When we returned the following day we had the best waiter in Russell who was so attentive and eager to help. He recommended the steak bits and Pepper Jam burger and both were spot on recommendations. My husband had the clam chowder both days and loved it. I had the chili on day one and can positively recommend. There was no wait either day though it is a hopping place!

I had the Alaskan Special Burger... Two 1/2 pound patties. Yeah I know... Diet... I just flew to Alaska... Had not eaten since last night. Could not even finish my fries! And that burger was cooked perfectly... Juicy. I'll be back!

It's reopened after a few weeks renovation! I've been many times before they always have fantastic burgers! It's open and welcoming. The new furniture is comfortable and easy access for wheelchair etc.

I usually have an amazing experience here but this time I sadly didn't my waiter wasn't very kind or seemed to care for our table always doing something else and by the time she showed back up we were already done and ready to just leave I think her name was Ashley she was blonde and tall just incase I got the name wrong thank you

Of course can say this place been a favorite of mine, steak bites and the sauce is amazing,,and cant forget the halibut so yummy.. and service is always with a smile and iv not had one bad server yet i been coming here for yrs always polite. Love that they have set up to watch sports as well. Atmosphere is perfect.

Wonderful food! Went for lunch today and had the sampler platter for appetizer. Best wings we've had in a LONG time - crispy and super flavorful. The potato skins were also perfectly cooked. Generous on the sauces too. Had the Pepper Jam burger and the cheesesteak. Both were amazing! Waffle fries and steak fries were hot and crispy. Highly recommend this place and our server Jessica went the extra mile. Thanks for the wonderful lunch!

Recommended by the locals and it did not disappoint! Great food and service with generous serving sizes. Loved the waffles fries.

Not enough desserts. My friends and I were very disappointed to find that there are only shakes on the menu. The utter despair almost caused us to leave immediately.

The food was good I got ribs they were delicious the inferno wings were so good the service was good our waiter told us a good spot to see the northern lights. Overall would come again

Everything was just Perfect ! The fish & chips were worth every cent! So succulent and fulfilling. The triple turkey club was pretty great too. The appetizers were a lil too pricey for the serving size but they were delicious as well. And my server (I believe his name was Zach) was very attentive and accommodating. Will definitely be back with hubby for another date night.

Brew the Halibut First dining experience in Alaska and it was a fantastic one. This place was recommended to me and my family by a travel advisor, as a local favorite. With the warm hospitality and amazing food, I can definitely see why! We got the Brewster's signature steak bits (19.99): seasoned tenderloin steak pieces with fresh mushrooms sautéed in famous Alaskan Amber brew sauce, accompanied with garlic toast and the Deep Fried Alaskan Halibut w/ Beer Batter (30.99): healthy portion of Alaskan halibut with original Amber beer batter, lemon & tartar sauce. The sauce that engulfed the steak bits and mushrooms was out of this world. It was savory, sweet, and had a hint of beer. It went perfect with the products it was responsible for. The steak bits were cooked to medium rare as requested, and tender to the bite. I've never had fish and chips quite like this. The batter was the thinnest that I've ever had (good thing). One of the reasons that has repelled me from fish and chips in the past has been the thick batter. I sometimes find myself biting into an oily explosion of batter rather than the actual fish... but this was different. The fried halibut was AMAZING. It was the perfect ratio, and tasted super fresh and yummy. Didn't know what to expect from the food scene in Alaska, but glad it's starting off with a bang

I asked for extra crispy fries. They were not cooked and soggy. This is just unacceptable at any price.

Finally opened back up at this location! Love it here great appetizers! Great service ! Just feels right every time I come here! Never had a bad experience here!

On vacation and found Brewster's for lunch. We had the burger with steak fries, halibut platter, soup of the day and salad, and the apple walnut chicken salad...everything was great. Highly recommend to anyone that's hungry!!!!!

The food tasted so good we had to get some goofy pictures to match the amazing taste. Definitely recommend, wide variety of choices

We came in for lunch after hearing about great burgers. Did not disappoint at all. The real hand formed patties were perfection. Russel was our waiter and was so amazing with our 5 kiddos. Hope to get to go back asap and hope Russel is there to help us!

Find somewhere else if you're coming for food. Good hole in the wall to drink at but you won't find any treasure dinning here. Customer service slow with food that will leave you wanting some kind of flavor. Appetizers are fresh from the freezer out of bag. Has major sanitary problems. Staff keeps their clothes in the bar area for you trip on their shoes.

Its a calm nice place. We went there on early July when we we visiting Alaska. This is very good restaurant and at very reachable location .we had lunch and Had Halibut Fish Tacos with salad, Halibut fish and chips, wrap, chicken sandwich and some peach guava flavor house brewed beer which was delicious.

Fix your tile ceiling. Seriously. It's disgusting. Food is standard bar fare. Nothing special. Nothing bad. But I do have to wonder how clean the kitchen is considering the ceiling.

As several have said " I'm satisfied" "it hit the spot". Brewster is by far the best burger place in Fairbanks. The burger are perfectly cooked, ever so juicy and rich with flavorful. The jalapeño jam burger is not super spicy, sweet with a hint of spice. The salads are huge, decorative with toppings so not over loaded with just Roman lettuce.

Friday Evening at 5pm was instantly greeted by the host who sat us immediately at a booth nestled in the corner. Our waitress was at our table within a few moments, took our drink order & gave us recommendations since it was our first time. She was quick, prompt and kind. Her positive energy was radiant during our entire visit. Our drinks, appetizer & food were out rather quick which made for happy kids who were hungry. Our drinks stayed full, our food was hot & fresh. The Fried Cheese Appetizer is one of the best mozzarella sticks I've ever had. Super super good !!! The burgers are delicious! Juicy, hot & cooked to perfection. I got a chicken fajita wrap which was delicious. I will say, our whole table agreed the waffle fries are MUCH better than the steak fries. Was a little weary coming here just because the reviews are pretty 50/50 but sooo glad we came & gave it our own shot. AND the Alaskan White Ale is delicious. Love a good cold beer. A wonderful night out and mom didn't have to cook or clean Talk about a win win.

We were pleasantly surprised with this resturant. Food was really quit good. We had a large party. And the server Jordan was on the ball and very polite and quick. The philly cheesesteak, burgers, kids pasta (subbed with white sauce, fish tacos, and raspberry chicken sandwich. The onion rings were really good. Crispy and tasty.

This is your typical joint for bar food, and you can tell it is a local favorite. There are often large tables sitting for lunch. I have gotten decent food for the price, and the place usually has friendly and polite staff. There was one time that the food was not great, but I just learned not to order it in the future. This place meets expectations for bar food, and also is your average look for Fairbanks. Meaning, somethings just are old, a little grungy, and local. It is place to get hot food that can meet your needs.

The locals recommended it yet the reviews were mixed. Chanced it and glad we did! It got pretty busy while here but it was on a Saturday Afternoon and clearly it's a local favorite. We got seated right away and our waitress was great! The place could use some TLC and thorough cleaning but it was Still an experience. I wanted to try a beer made locally and asked our waitress for suggestions. Instead she gave me a sample of 3 of the popular ones. AWESOME! Made my selection and continued on to food. I wasn't really hungry and expected to eat a lot at dinner time, so I ordered the Steak Bites with Garlic Toast as a meal (appetizer) and it was more than enough!! It was delicious and walked away with leftovers. Also ordered Calamari and Beer Battered Halibut. The Calamari was good but not great. Like all places, order what they specialize in, the Calamari wasn't one of them but still good. Did I mention our waitresses attentiveness? Is it me or locals in Alaska are just friendly people? I recommend it and if I visit again, I will be back.

Brewster's is a good 'all around' place to go. It's not a fancy restaurant, and I don't think it's trendy...but it's comfortable and the servers are always very kind and thoughtful and efficient. CONS: The spendy/average Fairbanks DINNER'S have 'frozen veggies' that are not high quality. Not 'bad' but definitely not GOOD. Sometimes the fried food comes out too greasy. Not ALWAYS, but sometimes. Like the Halibut, again, in the speedier plates. PROS: The waffle fries are always good. Their sauces are fun. The burgers are always good. Easy to make keto alterations (no bun, etc....). Again, the servers, always wonderful. Also, I tend to use the restrooms as a good gauge for overall cleanliness...and their restrooms always tend to be very clean and comfortable. Tonight I had the 16 oz. Rib Eye. I enjoy the flavor. The only thing is I tend to find it wise to ask for the steak to be cooked to the higher temp/doneness than I want. I like Medium Rare...so I ask for Medium. Delish.

I ordered the fish and waffle fries. The fish itself was good. I did not care for the batter on the fish it tasted like pancake batter and it was very thick so I pulled the batter off and ate the fish. The waffle fries were crispy. I wish it came with a side dish like coleslaw corn relish carrot salad something to break up all the grease. Even a really good dipping sauce like spicy aoli or a choice of two different dips would have helped. My heart partner had French dip with steak fries it was good.

Pretty crappy service. The food was pretty good but I couldn't even order a drink because our waitress was never around and if she was she didnt stay long enough to listen to a quick " can I get a drink?". Probably wont be back.

The food is usually really good but i will never order a steak from here again. I ordered a NY steak WELL DONE & was served a fatty piece of steak that was completely raw on the inside. i'm very very disappointed. i'm glad i didn't get sick.

Great service !!! The battered fish was sooooo Amazing:) it was heavy deep fried and oil tasting like most battered fish. Light and fluffy!

Me and one of my friends went their for different a couple weeks ago and they were ok. Usually I like it there but the fish that they made us was kinda strong tasting which I thought was super weird. The appetizer of motzerella sticks was yummy.

I've loved Brewsters, don't get me wrong.. pretty good food most of the time.. but this rating is in reference to the customer service lately. Northgate specifically. I've ordered over the phone 2 times now, and the customer service has been very off. The lady on the other end of the phone seemed impatient and rude both times. I also asked her for Caesar dressing and croutons for my salad.. both were no where to be found on the salad or in the bag when I went to pick up my food.. funny enough there was a bunch of mustard, mayo, and ketchup packets in their place. The person at the counter was nice enough to grab me what I asked for though.. not a super happy customer recently, especially coming off of a 12+ hr shift.

We were visiting Fairbanks and wanted a pub style restaurant with good food beers. We found this place! Great atmosphere, great food, and amazing staff! Love this place! A must!

I've eaten here frequently over the last couple of years. They generally have the best burger in town and that's what I like to eat. It comes with a good portion of fries. The meat is a half pound patty and they'll cook it to medium for you if you ask. The toppings are usually well proportioned. The resulting sandwich is almost always a winner. Every once in a while the cook strikes out but more often than not the burger is a good one. The service is usually excellent at this Brewsters.

My daughter-in-love took me here for my Birthday for lunch. I ordered their Brewster Burger, and YUM! Best burger I've ever eaten! This is definitely my favorite place to eat in Fairbanks. The atmosphere was great too, and service was impeccable! Prices are fair.

Brewster's is very hit or miss. My standard is I won't go for meat dishes. Steaks are always cooked well done no matter how you ask for it, burgers have no seasoning and always taste a little too "burnt" for my taste, deep fried halibut is always swimming in grease same goes for the shrimp. They do have some other good sandwiches, their soups used to be good but on my last visit the clam chowder was very visibly watered down. Somehow I'm allergic to their vegetable mix even though I'm not allergic to the vegetables individually, there is no sauce or garnish on it, a preservative maybe? We go from time to time but when a lot of the menu, and specifically what they claim to be good for/known for, isn't that good what can you do?

Server Russ. That is all. Food was on point as usual. Never had a terrible experience with any servers there- but from now on definitely calling ahead to make sure Russ is working! Second to none. Hilarious, personable, and ON POINT. Has a blast with his job, yet gets the job done quickly and efficiently still. Literally the best and most fun dining experience I've ever had (it was like dinner and a comedy show! Hahahahaha) big thanks to Russ for making a tough week so much better!

Slightly better than "Fairbanks good". Good menu selections. Food is better than average. Restaurant is mostly clean but the service is great. Not a lot of places for ribs in Fairbanks but their ribs wouldn't be too great in the lower 48. Not bad, by any means, they were cooked well and quite tender, but unremarkable. The service was fantastic though, so we will go back.

Amazing food, will definitely be back! Ordered for takeout and the receptionist was beyond friendly and informative. Estimated time was accurate.

They know burgers here. We ordered the jalapeno burger and the char grilled chicken sandwich and they were perfect. The server was super friendly and attentive. Relatively cheap as well.

This custom burger I ordered put me in a coma. Here it goes; the "Tony burger": cracked pepper over a medium rare patty topped with carmalized onion, grilled pineapple, over easy egg, and mixed greens dressed with my favorite blend of BBQ, honey mustard, and light mayo. It. Was. Existential!!! The cooks made it to perfection! It was gone off the plate in minutes. I haven't been this happy since the birth of my baby girl... Nah, I've never been this happy.

This place sucks for steaks. The worst I ever had! I ordered the surf in turf, this is the flat pancake steak that they brought out to me, how embarrassing, after I cut the fat away it looked like a strip of bacon. It tasted like crap and was horrible. Black angus Ribeye my ass. I will never return nor recommend.

Great food with reasonable price. Service is a bit slow but understandable as there is hiring challenges everywhere.

Just walked out after waiting about five minutes to be seated (with no wait) and after ten minutes at the table. Never met our waitress. There were less than ten tables and at least four servers working. Whoever manages this location needs to find a new job... not in the restaurant business.

Excellent salads and had delicious waffle fries on the side. We tried Caesar with chicken and half a Cobb salad. Generous portions, lots of blue cheese and crispy bacon on Cobb salad. So glad we stopped here.

I have never had anything like their Brewster's Signature Steak Bits. Its amber brew sauce gave it a special sweetness that made it amazing. But the best part of the restaurant was Acacia's service. Acacia is the sweetest and most cheerful server that my wife and I have had in many years. We appreciate all the bright and positive vibes that she exuded.

Great food. Horrible service. The waitress seemed to be having a really bad day but waiting 25mins for water and ice tea and then another 30mins for food (we ordered drinks and food at the same time) is unacceptable. Because she knew we were curious about the food and drinks, she avoided the table when she could have simply told us the status of our food. Really disappointing.

My husband and I came on a Tuesday night and it was busy so I understand that our waitress was stretched thin. However, when it takes half an hour to get water, it's a little frustrating. Our waitress brought the water, and took our actual drink orders and we waited. He ordered a Bloody Mary with no olives - she put olives on it. While waiting, my husband went to the bar to get his own drink which our waitress intercepted and told him she would bring it by- he reminded her not to put olives in it. It took her twenty minutes to bring his Bloody Mary but by then we're getting pretty upset. My husband is watching her with his drink and before she delivers it, we watch her dunk her bare hands Into the drink and pull out olives, throw them away en route and then hand his drink to him. He asked her about why she stuck her fingers in his drink and she denied doing it. We asked to talk to a manager and she sent over the bar tender (who said she was acting manager). We explained what happened and she just seemed to brush us off, to which we just asked to leave. Our waitress rang us up and tried to charge us for the fingered Bloody Mary. The service was horrible, the customer service was terrible and the bloody Mary's weren't good. I think the only thing I enjoyed was my milkshake. If you want brewster's food I highly recommend the brewster's on airport way instead.

Service is terrible here. We were seated and no one came to ask what we wanted to order for a good 15 minutes until we finally called someone over. The burgers were extremely over cooked and the cheese wasn't melted like the waitress said was happening. The fries were extremely cold. The two other tables next to us were being waited on non stop so I have no idea why we weren't being waited on as well.

This is apparently the newer of two locations for Brewster's in Fairbanks - there's a Canadian chain too in Calgary, Edmonton, and Regina, but I don't think they're connected. This is a pretty straight-forward sports-bar, serving burgers and beer in a family-friendly atmosphere. No surprises. I visited here with my family on a vacation as we sought out any place with decent beer in Fairbanks. They serve Alaskan brewing company beers by the pint or pitcher, but that's really only the minimum you'd expect here. The food wasn't half bad, either, (we had veggie burgers and salmon) but nothing unusually exciting. Service was just fine, pleasant and quick. Overall, Fairbanks is a pretty disappointing place - you might not be excited about it, but at least you'll find some decent beer and food here.

Terrible service! TERRIBLE!! I eventually had to STAND in front of a waiter to get them to serve my family. At the end, after twenty minutes with empty plates on the table, no service, and still no check, I placed my dirty dishes in the middle of the walkway and jumped the bill. I recommend everyone else do the same to this insulting establishment.

Actually I just came here for the waffle fries, and they were absolutely scrumptious! perfectly golden Brown, crunchy hot potatoes. I decided to have a hamburger also, and they wrapped it in lettuce.. yum. the waiter's name was Sigmund, and he was Pleasant, fast, and efficient!
