We ordered trash can nachos that were really good. 3 of us had the bbq chicken salad, one had the fish fry, one got wings and the other had a Cobb salad. The fools had a beautiful presentation and everything was really tasty. We didn't have any trouble talking and hearing even with all of the tvs on.

It was beautiful outside and luckily were offered an outdoor table (which was perfect as in inside seating area was very cold). We were sat (2ppl) and were about the 5th or 6th table outside. There was a table sitting next to us that had clearly finished their food and we're waiting to pay their check after about 15 minutes. The mother took the two other children and left the father there to pay the bill. About 10 minutes later, he ended up getting up and going inside to find a server. His new sword ever came outside. We sat at our table for probably 30 minutes and watched the host. Continue to see people outside filling it up. After about 35 minutes of nobody ever even approaching our table, we got up and left. I don't understand if you are short staffed why you would open an extra receiving area if you cannot service it? I have been there in the past and it has not ever been this bad. But after almost 45 minutes, I'm not even being acknowledged, we had to leave and find lunch somewhere else. To me, this was 100% on greedy management. You are not gonna increase your sales by filling up the restaurant and then not having enough service staff on duty to take care of it. I noticed another table also get up and walk towards their car after they saw us get up and leave. Not a manager in sight, not a server insight, just the continuing seating by a young man who was only doing what he was told to do, obviously without direction.

It could have been a busy day, but our service was so slow. It took forever for us to get our food, to the point where we thought the order just was not placed at all.

Immediately seated and had a great waitress. Alex took care of us and she gets 5 stars!! My humans ordered a wide range of food. American standard Cheeseburger, Grilled Chicken sandwich, Honey Chipotle Chicken Bowl, and a crispy chicken sandwich. I of course got the American cheeseburger and green beans. (no salt, no seasoning). My humans all loved the food and a good portion for the price. Everyone tried the Chipotle Bowl and some said we are getting that next time!!! Music to my ears-that meant we would be coming back here!!!! Alex made some special tea's (papaya and pineapple flavored). That seemed above and beyond the normal drinks and the humans kept saying how delicious it was. The decor in the place is pretty cool. All Ford themed and some cool cars and car things. . The bathrooms are a must see (even if you don't have to go). This was a little experience to go with my meal. Back to Alex.... brought me a bowl of ice water, kept checking on my humans and kept them filled up with drinks and made sure the meals were perfect. This was definitely a good stop and highly recommend it!!!

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.

I had downloaded the App, so I could put our scores right in the score card. Turns out they have big screens throughout, that show your scores and other people that are playing. Cool idea! The music is very loud. We thought it would have been a good idea since Monday is senior citizen day, if they played classic rock instead of modern music. The course was really nice and we had a lot of fun. After 18 holes and then a challenge hole, we stopped for drinks and lunch. You have to pull up the menu on the app. There is a variety of sandwiches, salads, wraps and apps. You place your entire order, including drinks in the app, pay for it now or later and everything is brought to you. Our drinks arrived quickly by a friendly bartender. I settled on a fried chicken sandwich with fries. Food arrived quickly and looked good. The sandwich was fine and was served with a spicy sauce. We played the black course after lunch and found it as enjoyable as the red. A fun day was had by all. We will be back!!!
