Brewsters Brewing Company & Restaurant

Had a great lunch there today. I knew the food would be good, but it even exceeded my expectation. We ordered the meatloaf with mac and cheese and short rib ravioli. Food was hot, well presented and tasted great.

Great food n beer! I’ve been going to Brewsters Foothills for 8+ years, don’t think I’ll stop!

Not much veggie food. They have a burger, and it was tasty. Beer is all right, with lots of variety. The room is pretty loud when it gets full.
The service is a real issue, with confused servers wondering who owes for the mystery entrée nobody ordered or got, with their hands out at the end of the night. We were a fairly large group, but too bad. The ability to serve competently is more important to me than the server’s tan and the little black dress.
My advice: get your own tab and don’t pay for anything you didn’t order.

Let’s face it Brewsters hasn’t exactly catered to the vegetarian types, consequently, they fell out of my good graces a few years ago when I went hardcore vegetarian. It was just TOO challenging to find anything on the menu.
This year, however, I became a pescetarian and added fish to my personal menu. Subsequently, I have come to really appreciate Brewsters. The fish tacos are awesome! Not the best I’ve had in the city, mind, but still good. I really enjoy the spinach, artichoke, and lobster dip, and think it could be the best thing on the menu.
Anyways, I do enjoy Brewsters now that I can eat there, but vegetarians be warned! There is very little for you folks to order!

I strongly believe Brewsters Foothills is a one of the best bang for your buck, if you’re into Wings, Craft Beer, and overall great service. They have their own specials going on and the beer is slightly cheaper than the other Brewsters (because they are brewing there). I always find different seasonals to try, their staff is nice, the place looks fabulous, although looking at it from the street, you would not believe there is such a place in an industrial park! Crowd is diverse, from pipefitters to men in ties. It deserves more recognition! I love this place as I’m a regular. You’d be a regular too if you like beer and great food at a reasonable price.

I’m surprised Brewsters has gotten so many reviews as we really like the place, handy walk from our house (about 10 minutes) and in the summer they have what I think is one of the best rooftop patios in the city with great lounging couches, lots of plants etc. Don’t each much here and the complaints seem to be about the food so that may be the problem. From what I can remember I’ve had burgers, wings, nachos. I do steer away eating in places where the menu states «x, cooked to perfection» — does that mean the rest of the menu isn’t? Just one of my pet peeves. Great place for a beer, always busy. Used to always go to the Kilt and Kaber but you’ll have to read that review so see why not.

Clean place, music, a little loud to sit and have a conversation. Ladies are pretty, service was acceptable, food was okay. Had chicken Caesar salad. Chicken was seasoned with some spice I didn’t care for. Salad wasn’t as much garlic as I was hoping for. I guess everyone around me this afternoon will appreciate it. Shannon was are server, very pretty, sweet girl.
Would I go back? Probably, just not tomorrow.

To Review/​Rate a place like this is very very simple!
Service is Great, Friendly know the menu’s and drinks!
Drinks are amazing… just that bloody nice
Food, well this is where you put the menu down and just ask if you can shoot down the road to timmies and grab a box of donuts to bring in.
Food sucks here, if you order anything that is fried and trust me if you order the platter… your gonna get fried food. Then when you order your drinks just ask the server to brink a roll of Bounty cause the oil will drip off the food. Me and my mate finished the platter and on the plate was nothing but oil… i thought if i could get to female servers i could get them to stang on the over sized plate and doing a little oil wrestling… IT WAS THAT BAD!
but the drinks were good!

This place is exactly a ‘meh’ sort of place.
My bf works in the area and we decided on a lunch date there, we came in at about 12:45/12:50 so right at the end of the lunch rush.
We were seated right away but then the slow service started… and continued… maybe the server thought that we weren’t in a rush, but the place had max 8 tables in there. I saw numerous waitresses. Yet, it still took us forever to get in and out. The food took ages to come and then even when we were done (we ate fast) she never came to check on us and we sat there with our empty plates in front of us for ages, at least ¹⁰⁄₁₅ minutes until she finally came and we asked for our bill. For a lunch place in an industrial area, they should be more aware of timing expecially at 12:45/1pm on a Thursday. The service was unacceptably slow and there was no apology or reason for it, just seemed lazy.
The food was fine, maybe even good, but service makes or breaks it usually. The interior of the place is cold feeling, big, open, hard, and not very inviting.

Pretty dissapointing for Sat afternoon seems to be the same service on Sat we have been multiple times because of proximity only.
It was wing day so we started with wings, honey garlic they were really good and quite large it just took a long time to arrive. We placed our food order after the appitizer was done because the server kept dissapearing. It seemed like there was alot of servers on we just didn’t get a good one.
This was the first time we ordered meals we usually just go for wings and again not very impressed for the price. I feel if I’m paying fourteen dollars for a burger it should not be a frozen patty. All around bad will not be returning. Calgary has so many other choices.
Sorry Brewsters… NEXT!

Brewsters used to be 5 stars for me — just try the Blueberry Beer; it is amazing! The food was always great, and service fast. The Asian dumplings for example are incredible; light and not too doughy paired perfectly with sweet chili Thai sauce. Great summer patio and the McKenzie Towne location has an even better roof top patio.
Then last fall they took a turn for the worst. They started only hiring the zombie-​blond «Earl’s-style» servers. They also took off the best salad — The Rio Grande — don’t know why; it was the most popular off the menu. The year before that they took away the cod boxie (fish on a potato pancake; amazing!) and they killed off dumpling night and steak night.
They brought out new dishes that are mediocre at best (Cantonese chow mien stirfry for example), and they cut all portion sizes by 20−30% while increasing the costs 10−15%.
I emailed the manager and he forwarded it to the head office where they sent me a template email and proceeded to not care.
Why Brewster’s why? I used to eat there 2 – 4 times a week; now I have not been there in 6 months with no plans to return.
I still eat the dumplings once a week; no one does them better except for me — I found out that they are a Sysco product and ordered me a case of 200 for $ 35.
ok… I have said my piece; all that being said the food is still better than most pub’s and the beer is still great. They brew their own and it is fresh and cold.

I’ve only been here for lunch, as I work in the area.
The place is a large bar type setting with a plethora of different beers to choose from. The service is always fast and friendly. I find that the servers expect larger tips, but they do work for them. The service, at least at lunch, is quick and the food is always good. I personally like their sandwiches.
Certainly will be going back.
