Brew River Restaurant & Bar

I was in the area with family and we stopped in here for lunch on a Tuesday.  The place was fairly dead inside with the exception of a group of ladies that were taking up a table in the corner loudly playing bridge.  We were seating by giant windows that overlooked the river and the dock bars.

I ended up with the coconut shrimp appetizer, mainly because none of the sides seemed really appealing to me.  I was hoping that the mac n cheese would be homemade or something...but the server likened it to easy mac so I decided to skip sides altogether.

If I were feeling like eating way more, I totally would have gotten the cold salad platter.  Holy cow, this place has some delicious chicken salad and shrimp salad!  You can tell that all of their salads are made there and fresh.  The chicken salad was all white meat, which is something you don't always see in restaurants.  The shrimp salad had whole pieces of really good shrimp!

My coconut shrimp was pretty good, just nothing to really write home about.

If I were back in the area I would probably come back to this place!  I don't think I would come here on a weekend night or college night...the place is HUGE and has a lot of college-oriented specials.  I can imagine that their dock bars get absolutely ridiculous.

definitly has changed since I went to college there. One room had alternative music and the other would play popular songs with a cover song. I think that is the worst thing you can do to a song and is disrespectful. Overall it sounds like the two rooms are playing the same music. They might as well have one DJ and play the same songs in both rooms. When I was in college this place was fun.

We went to this place after our sea gull century ride. The buffet they decided to serve us was burgers on dollar buns. Hello, we are people looking for healthy foods. Not grease to have a heart attack with. Anyway we asked if we could have a menu and the first person said no. The second person said I don't think so...we explained we wanted to be waited on as customers we are paying for our own food we dont eat what's on the grease buffet . After more than 30 minutes we finally convinced a waitress to go ask the manager if we could please be served food. We get the menu....lololololllllll it's pretty much all the same. I personally picked the veggie penne and asked that no Alfredo sauce be on it. What it was ..soggy noodles bland with veggies on it. Ok veggies were good as it would be hard to mess that up so I ate them and left the noodles. It comes with two sides. I asked for a side salad...that will be 2.00 extra my server said. Ok it's already 13.99? Hello seriously? Ok what can I have .A baked white potato or French fires and green beans. She said. I said can I have a baked sweet potato instead? No ok somebody at this table will eat the French fries and ill have the beans. So, I get my food it so bad...13.99 a bunch of agrivation. Now, here is the kicker.. Most everyone at the table ordered seperatley and they would not seperate the check or let us pay seperatley....the grand finally we have an ATM located in the front lobby....OMgoodness what? Ok, fine...now I thought this is worthy of writing about. I think most of us agreed if this function is held there next year we will not be in attendance we will go to somewhere were yelp shows a 5 star rating  in Salisbury. Oh and it is showing that there are 5 stars in Salisbury.
