Skip the beef and get the fish! The fried halibut was so good! It was perfectly cooked but do eat it while it's hot, it firmed up when it cooled and felt dry. Watch out for added costs. My server asked if I wanted sour cream on my chili, and if I had known it was a sauce cup amount for $2, I would've skipped it! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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!!!!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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? read more

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! read more

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

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more
