    Alaskan cheesesteak with waffle fries
    Angela J.

    So first off lemme just say..... BEST FREAKING BURGER AND CHEESESTEAK IVE ever eaten. So I ordered the pepper jam burger it comes with grilled pepper and onions and also lettuce tomato and raw onion which I didn't get. Instead I added bacon and holy crap!!!! I am in love!!! lol Lance got the Alaskan cheesesteak and I took one bite and it just melts in your mouth!!! Ordered a side of bbq sauce which went perfectly with the onion rings and the cheesesteak and seriously... I didn't think it could get any better but their bbq sauce is savory and Smokey and house made and just toooooo damn good for words!!! This is the first restaurant we stopped at in Alaska and hell now it's gonna be hard to beat!!! So Alaska u better come with some flavor the rest of our trip!!! And a huge shout out to Ann our server she was pleasant and patient with us especially cuz we didn't know what to order lol but by the end we were good! And now we will be back!!

    The staff was very friendly and the inside of the restaurant was spacious and well kept. However, the food was incredibly terrible. Sadly would not come back or recommend.

    Surf and turf
    Paul M.

    Fairbanks might be popular for the beautiful OUTDOORS but their restaurant options are LOUSY. Gave this place a try for dinner. Ordered the "surf and turf combo" for almost $40. It came with a soup or salad (should have picked salad) and got the minestrone soup. Tasted like it came from a can and didn't eat much of it. 8 ounce NY steak was well seasoned and cooked properly. Meat was a low quality cut. Came with sides of veggies, potatoes, and toast. The highlight of the meal was the halibut (fried in batter). Batter was done right and they were delicious. Server was a nice young man and he was attentive and had a nice attitude. The meal was just ok...will keep looking for better places in the area.

    Inferno wings and waffle fries
    Taylor N.

    Restaurant was extremely busy when I arrived. We immediately got a table and soon after our waters. Our server was good at keeping them filled and was an awesome server for the restaurant being swamped. 1/2 the food came out hot temperature wise (the wings is what I care more about coming hot) and my fries were room temp but still tasted good. Even better when I got home and heated them up in the oven. The wings were bomb. I'd go back just for them!

    Mushroom and Swiss Burger
    Karl A.

    This was a great meal. I was skeptical because of the great things everyone told me, but Brewsters lived up to the hype. We got a table fast and the service was great. The burger was cooked very well and the bun was soft and fresh! The mushroom and swiss burger tasted so good. It absolutely hit the spot! The fries were everything you would want them to be! Cooked well and salted just right! Great service and great food, thank you Brewsters!

    Hotzarrela Sticks!
    Amanda F.

    Great food! Large portions and quick to come out! The hot mozzarella sticks were something I've never had before anywhere and I will look forward to coming back to Fairbanks to have them again! My server was an absolute sweetheart & was on top of it! Great service, great food, and the ambiance is a bar/pub experience. Overall will be back. One of the better restaurants in Fairbanks for lunch!

    Halibut tacos
    Amber K.

    Mixed feelings here! Our table had a nice server, but she was more attentive and on top of the other tables around us. We actually began to feel like there was something off-putting about us and by the time we left that had only solidified. The atmosphere is cozy, not too loud, with soccer games on the TVs. The menu is varied but beware of a sever lack of options if you are gluten free and if you are soy free know they *only* use a pure soy oil. That said, they accommodated our GF kiddo with a lettuce wrap around a burger Patty, and a side salad with olive oil and balsamic instead of fries. He loved both. The sodas were flat, and the iced tea was very weak. Teen ordered the nachos and said they were good and chips tasted great. Other kiddo with us had the chicken strips and happy fries and the chicken strips were too spicy- the adult with her also ordered them and said they were almost too spicy for her. My wife and I had the halibut tacos and the grilled chicken salad. The salad- the chicken was dry but the salad was huge, very fresh and delicious. The halibut tacos were also dry but had two corn tortillas and the pico was fresh so overall a good option. The steak fries don't have any seasoning but were cooked well and tasted good with a bit of salt added. The other couple with us had the adult size chicken and fries (waffle fries, which were cold when they got to the table), and a taco salad. The taco salad was big and the shell seemed fresh but it was a bit underwhelming although a nice, big portion. Bathrooms were clean but there's a trick to flushing the toilets so beware lol. The food did take longer than expected, and everyone around us was served before us regardless of being seated after us, and we had to flag the server down for refills and the checks, and never did get the to go boxes we asked for. We left without them, although we had plenty of a few meals we could have taken. Overall it wasn't bad, just not great t. The menu does have some lighter items and dinner items buzzed in with all the dried stuff and burgers, so a decent mix.

    Halibut Tacos with Waffle Fries
    Joy W.

    We ended up at another brewery restaurant in Alaska. In the booth of a family friendly restaurant, we ate more fried food, fried fish specifically. $19.99 Halibut Sandwich: looks and tastes like 5 fried fish tacos tucked into a sandwich, a little dry, but the tartar sauce helped $20.99 Halibut Tacos: two fried halibut tacos tucked into those taco stands $17.99 Chicken Fajita Wrap: Not bad. Surprisingly Mr. Joy ordered the chicken fajita wrap, because he said he is tired of fried food, but he ordered it with waffle fries anyway. Refusing fried food is such a departure from his diet when he was younger. We actually all ordered waffle fries, which were delicious.

    Came here for dinner on the first night here at Fairbanks, Alaska. Ambiance is like hanging out in a pub. Very inviting place. Staff is friendly and provided good service. The bartender was making cocktails, tending the bar as wells as servicing the tables. Brewsters definitely did not disappoint. That's why we came back gain. Definitely come here for their steaks and chops. My favorite is the batter fried halibut. First time ordered the halibut fish taco. On second visit just ordered the halibut and chips. Place to come for fried halibut. Friend who order the Alaskan Surf and Turf really enjoyed his meal. Burgers not bad.

    Chicken raspberry sandwich
    Magaly P.

    The menu is all over the place from tacos to cheesesteak to chicken on rye. And what we sampled they did it all well. Local beers on tap - Alaskan Ale and Hoodoo Getman Kolsh - both cold and delicious. Tried the Alaskan Halibut Sandwich - the batter was crisp, not greasy and light. So delicious. The bun had 4 pieces. I had to take 2 off just to be able to close the bun. So delicious and then snacked on the other two pieces with the crispy waffle fries. We also had the chicken raspberry on rye. The bread was toasted perfectly and the flavors built on each other to be something special. We sat by the bar and our bartender was friendly, sociable and provided great service. Thanks Fred - you're amazing.

    Sirloin steak with loaded mashed potatoes
    Sarah Y.

    Great service and they were quick. Clean restaurant and friendly staff. My only reason for the 4 stars is that the steak was tough, I was really hoping a "medium" would be juicier.

    Halibut tacos with steak fries
    Dan W.

    Whether this is genuine or my wife and I were tired, happy, and hungry....I am giving my first four star review in Alaska. We walked in and I thought this may be solely bar food....something my wife is not fond of. Upon walking inside, there were plenty of families eating here, so a good sign. Our hostess seemed confused at times, but she was friendly and attentive. I ordered the halibut tacos with steak fries. Don't judge a book by its cover! My halibut was fried perfect....crunchy, yet juicy. The steak fries were crunchy on the outside and hot on the inside. Other options were burgers, sandwiches, and ribs. Nothing "special," but if their "regular food" is as good, then you will have a tasty meal

Landed on the BLT with salmon. The BLT actually came with a croissant as the bread, so it made it very easy to eat. Lots of bacon and the salmon went really well with the sandwich. Fries here are great too! Staff here are great! Since we came here near closing time, they actually offered us some of their leftover soup since it would have been tossed out. Definitely hate wasting food, so that offer was accepted very quickly. I didn't realize until after leaving why Blue Roof Bistro has its name. It's because...the roof is blue heh. Either way, worth the visit.

Service: Attentive, friendly, and fast. Lots of regulars came in and they automatically knew their orders. Food: The cup of gumbo was so much larger than I anticipated. I would not have ordered this had I known the size. I'm not sure if it had any seafood in it, since I couldn't taste or see any of them, but it was still hearty and delicious. The bison burger was good, but a bit dry for my taste, so I added a bunch of condiments to it. I asked what the buffalo chips were, which are potatoes with Cajun/buffalo style seasoning that's slightly spicy, so I opted for that and it was worth it, since they didn't have curly fries in stock. Overall I'd come back again, but maybe ask for the burger to be cooked medium rare, if that were an option. It seemed like a nice, friendly place to have good food with friends

Friendly service and it was so nice that they split our food onto two plates when we said we were sharing. The Alaskan skillet was great and a big portion of food.

We…read moreended up getting there about 10 mins early and there were only 3 parties there so we were confused about the response. In any case, we had a great meal and the owners were so friendly. We had the churrasco steak and the halibut Cuban style. The steak sauce has a kick, while the halibut sauce was slightly creamy but also refreshing - olive and lime perhaps? I thought the halibut was overcooked at first but the bottom half was perfectly cooked, so it seem like just the seasoned top was cooked more so. They both came from vegetables and yellow rice that soaked up the sauces well. We also got the flan which is house-made. So good, even better than the entrees. It tasted so 'fresh', don't know how else to describe it. They also had the cheesecake that night and I wonder if that's housemade as well. Wife got the mango juice which is freshly squeezed it seems and I got a bottle of Alaskan white. I do like the arctic warrior draft better but this was decent too.

We made a reservation for a larger group, yet the table wasn't ready when we arrived, and we ended up waiting much longer than expected. For a place that requires reservations, this was frustrating right from the start. The food was just okay--not terrible, but definitely not worth the price. Given our background and familiarity with Latin cuisine, we expected much more in terms of flavor and authenticity, especially considering the high cost of the dishes. The live music, which we were looking forward to, started about 30 minutes late. To make matters worse, when one of the band members didn't show up, the owner asked a member of our family--who happens to be a musician--to step in and play. Not only did this put us in an awkward position, but there was no acknowledgment or discount offered for his time, even though we had other plans to get to. Parking is also inconvenient, with only street parking or paid lot options available. The restaurant itself is very small, which does create a somewhat intimate atmosphere, but it also feels cramped for larger groups. While the owner comes across as friendly, it also felt like there was a strong focus on maximizing profit. There are multiple additional fees listed in very small print at the bottom of the menu--something that should be much more transparent or reconsidered altogether. Service overall was slow, and again, the pricing does not match the quality or experience provided. At this point, I wouldn't personally recommend this place unless there are significant improvements--better service, more consistent food quality, fairer pricing, clearer fee transparency, and better management of their live music arrangements.
