    Seasonal burrito, Brussel sprouts, and beer.
    Shelley P.

    Food was great as usual. We ordered from the seasonal menu. Beef & Broccoli burrito and curry squash soup. We also had the Brussel sprouts with bacon on appetizer menu. Usually everything here is amazing and the food was. However, how do you serve soup without crackers or even a piece of bread. I asked and was told I could get some garlic bread. They had nothing else to offer. Hmmmmm Back to the food, it was really good. F+B offers a nice menu. Ambience was crazy due to trivia night. We didn't know. It was nice and calm and quiet when we arrive. It got so loud within minutes of our food arriving! We love F+B but admit we were a little disappointed tonight.

    A beautiful shareable drink. Totally refreshing on a nice spring day.

    Excellent service. Nice ambience. Downtown without the hustle and bustle. Sit outside and enjoy the weather. Food was excellent. Drinks were made perfect. I will definitely be back.

    Burrito Bowl - chicken , cheese, black bean salsa , cotija cheese and sticky rice
    Thomas L.

    December 10, 2023 - Three for dinner: So start with my biggest peeve in Sarasota - parking. Either availability or COST!!! There was plenty of street parking and it was FREE!!! (smile) 10/10 The place was not too busy as it was raining and folks stayed home I guess on this Sunday night in December. Our server was very pleasant and fairly attentive. She sort of hung back in the kitchen and we did need to have others retrieve her. NOT a big deal, we were not in a hurry and she was not going back and forth with a bunch of tables, so I get it. But maybe they should 'buzz' the active tables every 5 minutes anyway? We got some very basic 'bowls'. My daughter the Burrito Bowl that she said was good and she would order again. she said a fairly authentic burrito without the tortilla. the chicken was fairly flavorless and stingy per her and she was not a fan of the cheese. 7/10 My wife had gotten a Greek Life bowl (salmon and etc) from the Venice location and she REALLY liked it. She opted to try something different and got the Korean Beef Bowl (a Bibimbap affair) with kimchi and sticky rice and a sunny side up egg. quick comment the sunny side up egg could have used about 10 more seconds as the top was still very snotty and whites were actually raw around the yolk edge, although the griddle must have been very hot as the "bottom" was blackened and had the fried oil halo of death and grease potholes of char. (picture on the site) The rest of the dish was pretty good. The marinated beef was sorta tangy off tasting possibly a spice or sauce flavor and the chimchi a bit too heavy of a "fishy" flavor. (yes fish sauce in kimchi but this was leaning towards "bait") My wife would order the Greek Life bowl if we went back. 7/10 The menu (and even the components of the other entrees) left VERY little for me to build or edit out to make a whole food plant based, healthy, or vegan-ish selection. There was a single "Vegan" entry called the Vegan Bun Cha. Its based what has been regarded as not the best highly processed foodstuff, but I know what it is and I am not eating much of it.......and it was the only option. (personally I would have preferred a bean 'meatball" or even a bean burger on the menu and not an Impossible or Beyond burger faux meat substitute. The bowl had pickled vegetables, cucumbers, carrots, peanuts, onion and sticky rice on the bottom. I think there was some cabbage possibly. The accompaniment (medley) of veggies was pretty good. The "peanut" glazed meatballs (5 quarter sized) were very sugary, had a bit of spice (that was fine by me) and the cooked glaze was almost charred/burnt and gritty. They were more of a garnish than the main. Was not a fan even with my own preconceived feelings about impossible meat. Not sure what I would order if we go back?? 5/10 This a a nice neighborhood bar feel spot with lots of TV and sports going on. We were not going to "dine" we were just looking to grab a bite and "eat". My wife had one drink on special with well liquor and it was reasonably priced and good. Nice spot, good service, easy to pop in and park or walk there from the surrounding area!!! ~ Thomas ~

    Having been to the other locations this is a great addition to the Rosemary District. Being brand new there was no wait for Sunday brunch this week which was a pleasant surprise. Definitely going to comeback for lunch or dinner

    Friday, January 16, 2026 - Two for a burger bite. Not before the FST show…read more (GOSUB to the **** for the meat/burger of the review ((smile)) ) I have reviewed about 30 restaurants in and around Sarasota since 2021 when we moved down permanently and are members of the FST. On this Friday night, nothing was going right. My wife was delayed at school etc. So then a delayed departure from Venice, a false stop at Mad Moe's for a burger in Osprey (PACKED) and then a direct shot and parking across from FST we hope for a quick burger or something at the bar or restaurant at FST? But it was PACKED and they weren't serving any more???? We threw our tickets in the trash because now we could not make it back in time, (( frown :-( )) So a walk to Main Street to see if Patrick's or anybody might have room for two? NOPE. and we were walking along and THERE WAS BREWSTER's GASTROPUB!!!!!!!!!! For some reason I have 128 restaurants on my Sarasota Favorites list and Brewster's was not on it? I checked them on as I entered??? Looked VERY full at the bar, and most tables were full but it looked like we had a shot...... and there was a four top high-top!!!!!!! WIDE OPEN!! I think the no table service might be the delineator. We weren't looking for a sit down "dining" and full service gig. Nor did we need the overhead and pomp and circumstance of a host/hostess, army of bus staff, a waitstaff and being waited on with drinks and water and etc? ******** We came to EAT GOOD SIMPLE FOOD and have FUN. **** And that's what we did!!! "Todd" at the bar was friendly and fantastic. All the bartenders and staff were helpful and friendly. The "security guy" when he saw me at the bar for about 20 seconds helped me get some ketchup. Zone defense and team effort!!!! I got the signature Brew Burger and a side of Street Corn and had an endless glass of water w/ lemon I think I had Todd fill about 5 times. My wife and I bantered about what the Street Corn would be and we were happily surprised with the authentic Mexican Street Corn (elotes?) on the cob with a stick and a delightful creamy Chile, garlic, and Cotija cheese sauce I think. (problem is we gobble them up before we could figure out the exact sauce composition here. BUT it was very tasty. 10/10 The burger (for this adult usually nutritarian plant-based eater) was EXACTLY what I had hoped for. A wonderfully fresh an warm brioche bun, fantastic angus burger, cheddar and a "secret sauce" . I got lettuce onion and pickles which are standard...... this was VERY VERY VERY tasty. only quip is I will opt for sauce on the side and its was a little too much sauce. This was mega and uber better than some greasy Five Guys or Smashburger or any of that stuff. 10/10 My wife got the Shroom & Swiss Burger that had a wonderful portobello mushroom on it nicely cooked, terrific angus burger properly cooked exactly as we ordered it, she loved the blue cheese perfect amount, She also felt a bit TOO much of the secret sauce, but its pretty tasty so not a catastrophe. This was also an AWESOME burger!! 10/10 The sweet potato fries were not crazy greasy and perfectly crisp but not crunchy for fries - good, cross-cut and obviously bulk bag. Cut or sliced would be nicer but of course not expected, its a side. 7/10 The place is clean and glassware and silverware perfectly clean. The counter/bar service is fantastic. I had to make a few trips for ketchup and place ware and etc but hey when your wife gets one of the better vodka cranberry w/lemon and club in a large tumble for $9 instead of $15 or $16 for a 6 oz martini glass with 4 oz of watery drink........ its a home run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With all the TVs and sports that is probably the summary of my review. Brewster's Gastropub is a Grand Slam for food and service......and especially burgers!!! Bravo Zulu.

    Stopped here after traveling to the Ringling museum and their chicken sandwich was a 10/10. Great…read morechill vibes and good beer!

Much of the seating is instead outside, both covered and some picnic tables uncovered. It was easy to imagine this would be a standout place on Main St when they are busy. It was not very busy when we were there for lunch. For my lunch I tried their Reuben Sandwich, which was very flavorful. You could really taste the corned beef. Delicious and a little messy, I was very happy with my choice. Once we were done it took too long to pay and leave, which resulted in a less than desirable ending to an otherwise great lunch choice. I should mention they offer lunch specials during the week, we were there on a Sunday. They also have at least one additional dining area upstairs so they may have plenty of indoor seating after all.

    After our movie we started walking down Main Street looking for someplace to grab a bite…read more Raffurty's was lit up and close by so we stopped. It's a sports bar and was loud and full inside so we sat on the enclosed heated patio. My wife had a burger and I had the chicken fingers. Good solid sports bar food. The drinks had a generous pour and we beat the clock- happy hour until 7 pm so it was a win. Win. Our waitress was sassy and kept us amused. 3.5 stars. Worth a return visit if in the area.
