Brewsters is now our go-to favourite local for a good meal! We’ve been here quite a few times now, and every time the food has been amazing, especially the burgers. The service has always been quick and friendly, and I’ve never been disappointed. The only complaint I have is that, on hockey nights, the lounge side is full of loud sports fans while the restaurant side is full of screeching toddlers. Not the most relaxing of experiences, but not something that can be helped either. I highly, highly recommend Brewsters for good food in a good environment!

Arrived and was sat at a table but my friends had not yet arrived. Waited 20 minutes with not even eye contact from the server. Even after my friends arrived we might as well have been invisible. Should I order take out over the phone for delivery to my table? Might take less time…

This place is conveniently located in our community, so it’s nice to pop by on the nights we don’t feel like cooking. The food is always spot on and absolutely delicious, but the service. So. Damn. SLOW. Every time, without fail, you need to flag a server down, drinks take forever and no one seems even slightly interested in how your experience goes. We inquired about their bbq sauce name, bow valley something, as we had lived in Banff for quite a while and knew of the bow valley bbq company who makes sauces locally. More out of curiosity than anything, but the server retorted that she would tell her manager so they could sue the company for using«their» product name. Um? Ok? Maybe she just doesn’t leave the city much?

Consistently good pub food! Delicious craft beers! Families can also bring children as they have a dining room side as well! One of our local«go-to’s»

Stopped here for drinks after a fun day at Lake Bonavista. Service was ok, we weren’t offered water, we had to ask for for some. We also ordered pizza, but were not given side plates, and again had to ask. Other than that, server checked on us regularly and was friendly. Our Brewsters Special pizza was ok, not the greatest and not the worst. This place is conveniently located right across from the lake if you want to grab some drinks with your friends. Room for improvement: again, being attentive and offering water right off the bat and making sure little things like plates are given when food comes out will increase rating.

Decided to pop in to the lounge for drinks and dinner. Sat down at one of a few empty tables(hint: it wasn’t busy) and waited… and waited and waited. Two waitresses walked by us, one of them 3 times, and just ignored us. Several waitress passed right by our table delivering food to other tables and no one asked us if we’d been helped. No menus, no drinks — nothing. After waiting well over 10 minutes we got up and left. They’ve lost our business and I’ll be sure to share our experience.

Great for a brew pub. Consistently good food. Great place to bring kids although on Friday nights you need to come early.

Quick props, bulletin style: *Ate here on a Sunday, was a packed house with not one table available. Service was slow, but we understood. *Servers and managers were extremely friendly and apologetic for the slow service. *After waiting a longer-than-usual amount of time for our meals, they brought me a hamburger instead of the pizza I ordered. Server told me it would be another 20 minutes for pizza, you could tell she felt horrible. *Apologized profusely, gave me the hamburger for free, an XL plate of fries with gravy for free, a pretzel I had ordered earlier for free, and if that wasn’t enough… All of our drinks at our table of five were taken off the bill. ABOVEANDBEYONDBREWSTERSLAKEBONAVISTA, THANKYOU! Love Hayden

Less than impressive service with a less than impressive agenda for organization on the restaurant side of things. The staff represent themselves in a very dismissive and unprofessional manner. They seemed bothered and alarmed when asking for ketchup and coffee cream during breakfast hours. A table of 8, each with separate orders, 7 of 8 which were rung in incorrectly. I had personally requested to skip the toast for my meal. When they brought my platter with toast on it, the server was advised that I did not want toast. Her next reaction was to use her BAREHANDS to grab the toast from my plate, then walk away without further communication. VERY displeased with her sanitary standards. None of the staff or servers were bothered enough to ask how things were during and after the meal. After the meal came the bill payments. The server(who at this point was incredibly flustered) had mixed up every single bill at the table. A guest at our table was billed for extra food given to her by staff error. 15 minutes later, a fellow(who, by assumption was the manager) approached our table, briefly apologized for the inconveniences and graciously gave a bit of a discount to make up for the hassle that was breakfast. It finally came my turn to pay on the merry-go-debit-machine when the server realized that there were 2 sides of DIP that were billed again, incorrectly. The new, discounted bill read $ 9.34 while the previous bill read approximately $ 12.00. «Can you just pay an extra couple dollars for the dips?» Was the next thing he said to me, shortly after muttering expletives while struggling to insert debit tape into the machine. Overall a very disappointing trip to Brewsters Bonavista. If only they ran the restaurant an eighth as well as the bar.

This place was less than OKAY. My first time I went for lunch and had the braised beef poutine which was good but very heavy and rich and I felt a bit sick by the time I was done. It had perfectly tender beef and lots of cheese. There were capers in it as well which I usually dislike but paired well with the dish although it did make it overly salty. The second time I had the chicken pecan salad($ 17) it was horrible and bitter tasting, Ive had WAYBETTER at Wendy’s for half the price. I had the same server both times and she was fairly prompt however she almost seemed annoyed to have to take our order. It was a bit too dark for my liking for a lunch, but there were limited options given the location. Too pricey for what it is. Wont be back.

I have been going for wings at Bonavista Brewsters for over 8 years on wing night which is Tuesdays. The wings have gone really downhill. They are the skinniest wings I have ever seen in a restaurant, and out of the ten wing order, only two are the drummets. Every second visit, we wait up to an hour for the order to come out of the kitchen. Frustrated with the service and the expensive wings(they are now charging .35 per skinny wing instead of .25, I denied a server a tip. She came back to me, in front of my friends, with the credit card machine, and asked«Did you really mean that?» When I complain to the server or send the wings back, because they have been sitting under the warming lights too long or are too skinny, the staff will begrudgingly add a few more to the plate but with the lecture, «that the kitchen is busy and they can’t control portion size.» Meanwhile, the person at the next table has noticeably bigger wings than the ones on your plate! The beer is good but the wings are consistently bad, even when it’s not wing night and management can’t seem to do anything about it. Don’t waste your time or money here. I have photos but not sure how to post them on here

Brewsters is really hit and miss for me. As a vegetarian, there was very little on the menu that I could eat. Now that I’m a pescetarian, there are certainly more options(like the fish tacos, which I actually do enjoy) on the menu for me. When I can eat the food, I typically find it to be tasty, well cooked, and just generally good. When I can’t, I find it a disappointment… go figure. But along with my ability to eat(or not eat) the food, Brewsters is really inconsistent in terms of its service. Sometimes the servers are outstanding and really do deserve a gold medal(or a gold star at the very least), but other times… well they’re not so good. In fact, this one time I had a friend have to walk to the bar to refill her own drink because the wait-staff wasn’t coming around to our table. This might’ve been excusable if it was a hopping, crowded night, but at the time we were one of four tables filled. Really, it shouldn’t have happened. This is only oen of several stories I have about the service at this particular Brewsters location. The truth is I will keep coming back to Brewsters, despite the inconsistency in service. This is mostly because my friends like coming.

I’ve been living in this community for almost fifteen years now, and I have never once gone to this location because I just had to. If anything, it is just because of it’s proximity to my home. The service is atrocious, almost always. Once I struck up a conversation with a fellow diner set another table and we shared war stories about how terrible the service is. I’ve been forgot about a million times, had my order wrong a few times, and other times I’ve walked in, sat down and after fifteen minutes waiting for service, I left. The food: good, but not that good. The portions are extremely small for what your paying. The steak is a joke and their chicken is ALWAYS dry to to point where you could swear you were eating cardboard. Like I said, though, I still go here for a pint once in a while if I feel like walking home after(the beer is always good here). I just wish the staff would get their act together so I could go there as a regular. Unfortunately right now, it’s a last resort

Great beers, love the changing selection. Food seems to be ok and consistent. Wing night wings are pretty bad

I have a soft spot for this Brewsters location. Perhaps this stems from all the time and money my 18 year old self spent here, but I still always have a good time when I come to Brewsters. For a pub, their menu has a surprising number of vegetarian options. All of their burgers can be made with a meat-free patty which is fantastic. I’m also a sucker for their cheesecake. It’s great when you aren’t looking for a meal but you want to grab something to eat anyways. For those who have never been to a Brewster’s, they brew all of their own beers so don’t expect to get any industry standards. Of course my dad allllways has to complain about how he «can’t get a real beer» here but honestly he’s just being stubborn. Their beers are just as good as the commercial stuff. I recommend the Hammerhead if you enjoy a red ale. Overall, Brewsters is great if you’re looking for a neighbourhood pub to grab a round of drinks with friends.

Beer and wings, what more could you ask for?! LOOOOVE their wings… especially the hot honey garlic… At first you may think that it’s spacious but really it’s not too large of an area(which is nice), but on a busy day fills up very quickly! It’s separated nicely, has restaurant side, lounge side, and a small patio area. What more could you ask for in a ‘neighbourhood’ pub?

It took me way too long to finally try Brewsters. Going in fairly unaware, I can honestly say I’m a big fan of Brewsters. It is a pretty spacious place with a lot of seating(different types too– booths, bar seating, comfy lounge chairs etc.). It is certainly a bar, but with more style than you would normally find. The reason to go to Brewsters and the reason to stay is the food. The beer is all made on-site and the recipes really live up to their descriptions. The Czech Pilsner styled beer tasted great, and the Blueberry beer they offer is nothing short of delicious(complete with real blueberries dropped into the glass). The food lives upto to the beer and the menu suggests pairings. I had a bison burger with green chili’s and Havarti cheese. Very hot and very tasty. The food isn’t cheap, but it is well worth the money. I can’t comment on the night life at Brewsters, but I am already hankering to go back and try it out on different days and get the whole Brewsters experience.
