Bray’s Brew Pub & Eatery

This place is an adorable hole in the wall. I like that there are separate dining rooms, probably was a house before. Our server was nice but failed to tell us we couldn’t get half of the beers on the menu. I did get a good mead though, which I hadn’t tried before. I had the Reuben and it was delicious, a heart sized portion and they didn’t mind me substituting a salad for the fries side. Service was a bit slow, but friendly.

Good nachos and beer choices but twice we waited and waited and waited to be served. We got a seat at a table and sat and sat and sat. Very frustrating!

Great food, but a bit pricey.
Gotta love the beers brewed on site though.
Friendly staff and good atmosphere.

Today I ordered the Brisket Nachos for 12 bucks, I should have known when the waiter came back from the kitchen to ask if I wanted any vegetables on the nachos (for an additional charge) that they might not be that good. When they came they were a plate full of nacho chips cheese and less than one ounce of dried up finely chopped brisket. When The waiter asked how they were I told him they would be better with some brisket on them. He laughed. When my husband finished his sandwich I hadn’t eaten the nachos the waiter gave us a bill for the meal. I asked if he could cut the bill down since I didn’t eat it! He went into the kitchen, came back and told me no, «the cook said, that is how we make nachos, that was the portion».
I will never come back, I suggest if you do decide to eat here anyway do NOT expect anything from the nachos and be ready to be insulted if the chef can’t make what you ordered and you point that out to them.

Just left after waiting 45 min for a table, and another 2 hrs for food that we never received, we ended up leaving. Never again.

Kristina was our server and she was excellent, the Lobster Stew was the opposite of Kristina. If you still have room for dessert the blueberry pie ala mode was very good.

I can’t recommend this place after an unbearably long wait. We had a 7:15 p.m. reservation for a party of 10 on a Wednesday, so it’s not like they should have been surprised by the size of our order. Our food order was put in at 7:30, but it took 1:20 for our food to arrive.
Our waitress Karcha did all she could to help us deal with the wait and gave us free ice cream for dessert, but the management of the kitchen leaves much to be desired.
The food wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t worth the price and most certainly not the wait. I had baked scallops that were good, but not great value for the price ($ 21). My wife had a half rack of ribs ($ 16) that she liked and that I thought smelled odd. My 13-​year-​old daughter split a very large portion of chicken parm and linguine ($ 19) with a friend. My 11-​year-​old son liked his chicken tender and fries ($ 6), but couldn’t finish it after gorging himself on the very good rolls (our waitress brought out a second round of rolls that were warm and fresh).
We spent $ 107.52, and it’ll be the last time we go there.

The food was very good. I liked the staff. There is only one problem, which was almost a deal breaker. THEY DID NOT HAVE VANILLA ICE CREAM. What the hell.

The bartender outside, the guy dressed like a pirate. He tried the serve me the drip cup for the beer taps. I watched him, as did another guy at the bar. When we both called him out on it, the woman bartender came over and began yelling at me for making a big deal out of it. Sorry. I’m paying $ 6 for a Porter that has bits and pieces of whatever. Insane. After all that, the beer was half foam. Gross. Won’t be back

A great selection of brews and great service. The food was «okay». Typical bar food choices and the prices were a little high. I probably wouldn’t return.

Went for lunch. I have been to this place many times. Losing confidence in it. Positives… soda water with lemon was fresh. Waitress was pleasant and apologetic. Wifes salad was OK. Lobster stew.OK. Negs… service was very slow. under staffed. Only 1 chef. 40 minutes to get apps. Scallops wrapped in bacon were under cooked. Kids got pizzas. They looked like frozen microwave pizza, tasted worse and cold. I got the locally made sausage peppers onions dish with French bread. Sausage was cold and very dry. Could not eat it and I am not a picky eater. Although the bread was really fresh.warm. I should have just ordered the french bread. Lastly a bit pricey for the lack of quality and service. Needless to say a bit dissatisfied.

Nice place. Live music, great atmosphere. Outside area reminds me of backyard parties back in the day. It’s like hanging out at your friend’s house. Plenty of people of all ages. Def must do a night or 2 if you make it to this area.

Noisy ambience downstairs but somewhat soothing music playing upstairs. Overall food was delicious. Waitress was able to accomodate to my dietary restriction. Somewhat overpriced on a few items.

Stopped here for a dinner on the way home from skiing. Friendly people and pub food ok, but service was very slow. They had one waitress working and continually apologizing for her situation. Bar noise was pretty loud in the dining room. Younger kids than mine would have picked up some choice words…

This was terrible in all respects. After I asked for a substitute soda because it was flat, the hostess gave me a new but not before holding it up telling me to «look at the bubbles «We
were not served for 50 minutes after order
was placed. Others who
Came in after us were served before we were

Great place. I have only been here doing the summer time and it is one of my favorite places to go in that area. Good food, great live music and I just love the beer garden.

I have to say that I’m really disappointed in this place.
We (wife, baby, and myself) showed up before the dinner crowd to try and get in and out quickly.
The service was incredibly slow (it took an hour just to get the food), the waitress never asked if we wanted another drink (despite our beer glasses being empty before the food even arrived) and the food was bad (my brisket was dry and tough).
Not to mention a bunch of minor errors that on their own are no big deal — but in whole made this a not so pleasant experience (no waters until we asked twice, both food orders were wrong, they were out of multiple items, etc).
The only positive of the dinner was the Lobster Chowder, which was really really good.
Ah well.

Second time here; once in the winter, once in the summer. Winter visit was much better.
This last visit (1pm on a Sunday), we were informed the wait would be 40 (!) minutes. That turned into an hour and 15 minutes.
They had NONE of their beers — the entire reason I came from Scarborough — available, which upset me.
The food was good but not great; not as good as during the winter trip. Chowder, pulled pork, and Mac & cheese were the best.
Server was SLOW and not very knowledgable about the beers or menu, but she was very sweet and friendly.
Not sure if we’ll be back. Disappointing.

Bray’s is a decent place to grab a pint and a burger. The food is very average but the beer selection, both tap and bottle, is great. I would strongly recommend staying away from the house brews though. All are completely undrinkable. But then again with all the amazing brews around Maine you should have no problem finding something good here.
We were at Bray’s during lunch and found the place to be warm and welcoming with a good enough waitstaff and interesting enough vibe. There was a cool bandstand and fire pit area out back. Definitely unique. Makes it seem like this is the place to be if you live in Naples, ME and have nothing to do on a weekend.

The food at Bray’s was okay. There were four of us, nobody had a problem but nobody raved. Surprisingly for a brew pub, the beers were also just okay. We had the Blonde and the Ryesing Sun and they weren’t as impressive as some other brew pubs. If it was just about the food, I’d give Bray’s 3 stars because Unilocal defines 3 stars as «A-​OK». But then there was everything else.
You can’t just try a beer, you have to buy a sampler of four beers. Service was slow and when we finally got the check, we got so tired of waiting for our server to come back that we got up and took it to the hostess ourselves. Maybe she was just busy, maybe someone else didn’t show up for work, I don’t know. But it was too slow.
The room we were in was uncomfortably warm and ridiculously loud. Apparently, it’s the custom in Naples to take screaming children to the local Brew Pub on Saturday nights. Who knew? If you’re looking to actually have a conversation while eating dinner, Bray’s is not a good choice.
So ultimately, the 3 star food was the highlight of experience. I can’t really ding them too much for the horrendous screaming kids, but the server who seemed to forget about us and the ridiculously hot dining room were really bad.
I’ve deliberately not mentioned the server’s name because of the stories about restaurant owners firing people because of Unilocal reviews. I have no reason to think that the owner (s) of Bray’s would be so ridiculous, but I’m still not going there. So if the owner is reading this, please consider the following:
Give free tiny samples of one or two beers, half a shot glass would do it.
Don’t let it get so damn hot in the dining room, use the air conditioning.
When a server brings a check, ask them to come back after a few minutes.
