The patio and the beer selection here are fantastic! The service and food however, leave much needed room for improvement. I have only had a decent meal here once out of the 3 times I went. I will still go sit on the patio and have a drink, but I doubt I would ever eat here again. The wings were so burnt I could not eat them. I understand they are smoked but they were black and inedible. read more

Positives -The atmosphere is nice. -beer is good Negatives -We arrived at 650pm only to find they gave our 7pm reserved table for 9 away with the excuse of "a rush of people arrived and had to be seated". We didn't get seated until 740pm. No real apologies. Just excuses. - Avoid the nachos. -The main reason for this review was the Lamb Burger. I ordered it medium and when it arrived it was sitting on a wet plate. When I say wet, I mean I had to remove my burger and wipe my plate down with a napkin. Most likely it was from the cucumbers that came with it in the side (not my choice). This led to a soggy bun. Bad start. The flavor was there. I would have actually enjoyed it if it wasn't for the way they cooked it. Half my burger was done medium the other half was almost raw. Not pink but squishy purple. This immediately took any good feeling I had for this burger and actually made me feel nauseated. It should be mentioned that they did comp my burger, but it was too little, too late. read more

Service was great with very friendly staff. We had a party of four, prime rib was great, the burger with pulled pork was spot on and the BBQ spaghetti was great. The mac n cheese wasn't the best but i got it with broccoli and not sausage. Spinach dip was the best we've ever had and the buffalo dip was great! Many different types of beers to chose from however I prefer mixed drinks. The long islands are to die for. We plan on visiting again in the near future. read more

Just spent over 20 minutes on hold. No one ever came back on the line, so didn't even get to place an order. Won't be calling back, unprofessional clowns. read more

Hard to say anything bad about this place. The beer selection is good and I love the flight format. You can find something for everyone to drink. The decor is slightly bland but hey, you're probably too drunk to care anyways, it's a brewery. It's February and the Christmas wreaths are still up, get with it BK. Jokes aside, it's clean and looks fine. The food is the real winner in this place. If you aren't getting some form of smoked meat then you are doing it wrong. Had the pulled pork sandwich every time I have been here and it tastes like it is marinated in Jesus tears and pulled apart by tuscan virgins. Also, if you are a fan of horseradish, try the coleslaw. Overall, I like the original location better but this is a fine addition to my local establishments and I will continue to frequent here. read more

Pleasantly surprised. The wings are smoked and then baked giving them a distinctive flavor in the area. The seasonal Winter Warmer was a mellow full flavored beer that really paired well with the wings. The only improvements I would make would be to add onion rings and mushrooms to the sides menu. read more

This was my first visit to brew kettle,and we just came for drinks for my best friends birthday. It had rained earlier today so the patio was closed. Justino was so nice and accommodating. He double checked to see if he was able to open up the patio for us and wiped down or table and chairs for our group. Very happy with the service! read more

I live locally so the brew kettle is a nice place to go have a drink. My bartender Annie was very friendly and made sure we were taken care of. I will definitely recommend this place. read more

Good service, excellent food. I have yet to be disappointed in my 3 visits thus far. The brat burger, wings, and perch tacos are all fantastic. read more

FOOD POISONING. I will never come here again. Me and a friend went here only because Ziggy's was too packed. We sat down and ordered a pitcher of beer...only thing is this "beer bar" doesn't serve pitchers. We ordered burgers for dinner, they came out dry and really weren't anything special. About 30 minutes after eating were were both vomiting and having diarrhea. I will never go back. read more

We used to go every week. Took a long break because we weren't happy with food. Went back this Wednesday and it's even worse. Menu is boring and food is bad. Service slow at the bar. We won't go back. Much better food out there read more

I was served not a raw , but a spoiled meat bison burger. I have eaten bison anywhere it is served and decided to try one at the new hometown brew kettle. The meat was most definitely spoiled and there were no apologies only an offer of substitution. Sorry, I had no appetite after being served spoiled food. read more

First time here was with a party of 22. It did take a little while for our food but hey there was 22 of us. Our waitress was very friendly and kept drinks filled and got anything we needed. Food was very good. Love their coleslaw and dill dressing. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Everything was nice except the entrées themselves. Chicken Caesar wrap and Perch tacos were bland.com

I have been here twice and both times have not been impressed with my choice of entrees. I have had the pulled pork burrito and the grilled chicken and neither one made a great impression. The pork is very smoky and a bit dry. The chicken was very bland, for sure could have used some seasoning and came with a huge piece of under cooked broccoli. On a positive note (and the reason I will return), the appetizers are good (stuffed peppers and fried green beans). I will be back to enjoy those things and of course the beer, I will just leave dinner for home those nights. read more

Meh...that's all I can say. I thought the first time I was here that since they had just opened that the food would improve. It did not. The pork is greasy and flavorless. Yuck. No zip to their food. Even the barbeque sauce is bland. Best thing was the dill slice. read more

Very excited to try it out since the change from Church Street - but the hostess was not very friendly - didn't smile - and the service was very poor - not sure if our waitress was just having a bad night or what, but she was not friendly, and was slow to take our order - and it was not busy at the time. Slow to check on us, and very slow to bring our check when we were done eating. Food was disappointing - my wife had the fish tacos which were ... meh! I had a burger which was overcooked and dry. Maybe they were just having an "off" night, so I will probably give them one more chance before I write them off entirely... read more

Being one of the newest restaurants in Amherst, you cant go wrong. My personal favorite is the coconut milk stout and for dinner the sausage and perogies. Must try the pretzels.... sports are on all the tv's and the music each time I have been here has been either alternative or contemporary. The fish and chips is a family favorite read more

Always had great service , food and beers. Everybody was knowledgeable and helpful. We were great with a larger party!

The food was pretty good but the bartender Tara is too loud and treats the rest of the staff crappy. They are all afraid of her and I don't want to hear her yelling at everyone. Josh the bartender was great and must have a lot of patience to work with Tara. read more

Hopefully I can come back in a few months and write a better review. My wife and I stopped in for dinner for the first time a few days back. The restaurant looks amazing, they did a great job with the remodel. The food and service wasn't so great. Our server was terrible. She brought out the wrong drinks, never asked to refill them and had an attitude issue when we asked to get a refill. I ordered soup with my meal, didn't get any soup but was charged for it. The food We had spinach artichoke dip for an appetizer and it was great, probably the best spinach artichoke dip that I've had. I ordered the bbq sampler with pork, chicken and ribs. My wife ordered meatloaf. Both of our meals came out cold, ice cold like they were sitting in a refrigerator. Didn't understand this as we weren't even there long enough for the food to get that cold if it was made fresh Hopefully I can write a 5 star review once they have been open for awhile. read more

I recently went to the Brew Kettle for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. I'm not a beer drinker so I can't comment on the beer. The food was very good, though. I had the perch tacos and it was refreshing to have perch that wasn't saturated in the usual beer breaded batter. It was breaded in bread crumbs, I believe and the sauce and toppings were excellent. The sweet potato fries were good as well. Service was a little on the slow side, but I would definitely go back. read more

We had the most amazing experience, I had a veggie burger, which was definitely one of the best veggie burgers I've had. Sam served us, she was extraordinarily! The place is 2 minuets away from the highway and opened till late which makes it a perfect choice for travelers looking for good food and beers. read more

Really disappointed with our experience. We had made a reservation for 7:00 because we had two infants with us and waiting in a crowded seating area is never ideal. When we arrived at 6:55 we were informed by the hostess that our table was given away because they just had a rush of people come in who had to be seated. We were added to the list with everyone else and not sat until 7:40. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the room and loved the updates. They also had a really great beer selection. Service was pretty good considering how busy they were. Unfortunately the food is a different story. I ordered a cheese burger (med well) with fries and nachos for an app. My husband ordered the lamb burger (med). The nachos were nothing more than bagged tortilla chips sprinkled with shredded cheese and melted (much like I can make in the microwave at home) and scattered with some canned jalapeños. Kind of a bummer because when I think nachos I want creamy cheese and warm fresh chips. My burger came out way over cooked and my bun was kind of stale, not a lot of flavor. And my husbands lamb burger was raw, not undercooked, I mean raw through the middle. The fries were just ok, you can tell they came frozen from a bag. They did make it right by comping my husbands burger but we couldn't wait to get the check and bail. Not a great experience read more

Just had dinner here last night. I got the half smoked chicken special and my dinner date got the buffalo chicken salad. My entree came with au gratin potatoes and asparagus. My meal was fabulous. The smoked chicken was delectable. The smoky sent and taste were intoxicating. The meat fell of the bone. The potatoes were hearty and well-seasoned. The asparagus was fresh, tender, and buttery. My companion loved the buffalo chicken salad and chose the grilled chicken option. Beware, the buffalo sauce is spicy hot! Get lots of blue cheese to cut the heat. The interior of this restaurant is comfortable. This place is pretty big. Parking is good. Outdoor patio with TVs in a creative architectural setting. Service was very good as well. I'll be back! read more

Not a good first impression. I went to dinner with a party of 7 and it took over 90 minutes to get our meals. And when we did get our meals, my meal was cold (pulled pork sandwich) and my wife's burger was burnt (more bun than burger). Our server was very nice and apologetic - it was obvious the problem was in the kitchen. The table next to us waited 75 minutes to get their meals, so our experience was not isolated. Great atmosphere and a great selection of beer. I have been to their other location in Strongsville several times and the food & service was always very good. I live very close to their location in Amherst and I am willing to give them another chance because they are local. I did greatly appreciate that the manager took 50% off our bill b/c of our experience. Please fix the problem with your kitchen staff! read more

I was at Brew Kettle and my food was awful. My chili was cold and the Nachos were the worst I have ever had... Sorry Brew Kettle you totally need to step up your game. I was embarrassed for you my husband wouldn't even finish his food. read more

Has potential. Right now everything - from the service to the menu - feels like it's trying to figure out what it can be. If the experience is unchanged in six months, they have a problem. But so far, so alright. read more

The food is pretty good (no ranch though wtf?) and they have a pretty large selection of beer. It's a great looking place and I enjoy coming here. read more

Seriously my favorite place to eat. The food is fantastic, and I have never had an issue with the service. I frequent here about twice a month. The summer IPa's are my favorite, along with the buffalo chicken wrap, and of course their coleslaw. Great for a date night, but kid-friendly, too! read more

The food was ok, but the service wasn't great. Avoid the broccoli cheddar soup (way too salty) and Dijon vinaigrette dressing (had a bite to it). Portions were big, but good was mediocre. The beer was a little warm, but tasted great. It's my fault for ordering wine at a beer place, but the wine was terrible. read more

Food was so so.... Service so so. My expectations were set a bit higher. I will drive out to Westlake next time. Rather disappointing for all the hype. read more

We were a party of four for dinner on 12/14 and the food and service was very good compared to our previous visits! Keep up the improvement...you have a lot to offer! H2 read more

Came in for dinner on Friday night (10/7) and was very disappointed. We were seated right away at one of the higher tables by the door and then we were basically ignored. No one ever came over to take our drink or food order. After sitting there for over 15 minutes, we did see at the hostess area, what I think was the manager, yelling loudly at a server about giving her tables away and that she wasn't allowed to do that because the other server was too busy to take another table. I am pretty sure they were talking about us. We sat there a little longer because I really thought one of them would finally come over to help us, Nope, they continued to argue with each other so we left and will not be back! We will go somewhere that wants our business, apparently, they don't need it. read more

Have been here a few times recently and i have to say the food is fantastic....great beer selection and pretty good service....will continue to go as long as the food and service continue at the level we have seen :) read more

We were very disappointed. The food was not hot. The service was poor. When we were there it was incredibly slow so i cant imagine what it would be like when its busy. The thing that turned me off the most was the music. I understand that we are in a bar,but families come in there with there children. The song had a healthy amount of F*** words in it. Sad. read more

Tried it for the first time just before Christmas. Service was fast. The food was good. Some interesting combinations of pasta and bbq. Great selection of beer. read more
