Well...my friends and I came here late night for dessert and drinks...
Our waitress Erin was friendly...a little airy, but friendly...between the 3 of us, we ordered Christmas Ales, Unsweet Iced Tea, and Fried Cheese...
The Fried Cheese appetizer is very unique...its actually a patty of Provolone, lightly breaded and deep fried...on a bed of Pesto and marinara, then drizzled with Balsamic Glaze and accompanied by garlic toast...it was fantastic! Every element of the dish was well seasoned and had the perfect texture...
The main thing that irritated us was that our waitress didn't  ask if we wanted dessert ...she brought the check, then disappeared. She came back 20 min later, took our payment then never came back. The difference due to my friend was $5 even...the fact that she ASSUMED that just because we paid with cash the change was due to her was very unprofessional. We werent able to speak to a manager because the other waiter said they were busy closing and to call in the morning...won't be back...
Brewster's is good!
As everyone has said, the Lobster Bisque is to die for! It is soooo good! I've had it twice. The first time it was more chunky with lobster meat and a little less rich than the second time. So the first time was definitely better. Â I've also had some sort of Wedge with southwest chicken or something to that effect ... I don't recommend it. Since it was advertised as a wedge I assumed the lettuce would not be cut, but it was. And the flavor on the chicken was nothing special. The Glenwillow chicken port. wrap wasn't very good either - but I got it to go so there's always a difference in taste.
The service has always been friendly and attentive but I do think it is a little bit pricey for what they offer. Oh, well. I'll keep going back. Especially for the Lobster Bisque!
Oh, and I'm pretty sure they have music on the weekends!
A coworker told me about this place so I checked it out on yelp. I basically ordered what everyone recommended.
The lobster bisque for starters. It was very flavorful but I'd like my bisque to be hot not lukewarm bordering on room temperature.
For my entree I ordered The Great Bacon Browns Backer, medium well. First of all my burger wasn't hot it was dry and overcooked. I barely had any sharp cheese and "a lot of smoked bacon with sauteed onions" as advertised. The bacon that was on my burger was greasy, soggy and was just unappealing. There was a minimum amount of burnt aka sauteed onions.
The only saving grace of this meal was the piping hot sweet potato tots and the Great Lakes Christmas Ale. I'd give this place 1 more chance because my coworkers gave it high marks.
Personally I think they are trying too much because they market this place as a cafe bistro pub- just pick one and do it well.
The atmosphere is good there is a bar area with some couches to lounge. Tables outside for smokers in the front by the entrance and a patio area for warmer times. Another plus is they have live music during the week.
You always feel at home at Brewster's even if you are not from Twinsburg. It is a restaurant/bar. The deck/side patio is wonderful. The have a fire burning on nice nights. On the other side of the patio is a fireplace. They have a backroom for large parties. We celebrated my husband's birthday here last year and the service and owner were amazing! We had about 30 people and separate checks....server's nightmare.
I have used them for catering at the Cleveland Clinic and they always make for a great presentation and tasty lunches.
The bar is average but has not only your standard bar stools and high tops but a couch and set of chairs to relax. I love this place for that reason....you feel at home.
They are Browns Backers for GB3.
Try their flat-breads you will not be disappointed. I try a new one every time we go. The GB3 burger-Sharp cheddar cheese and a lot of smoked
bacon with sautéed onions. GB3 style usually 5 bucks on game days.
Crabby Patties are another must try. You can even have this for a light meal or app.
Two huge crab cakes sitting on a bed of field greens and served with a side of chipotle romulade.
They have lives bands often and open jam night on Wednesdays.
I was in Cleveland on business and was staying across the street from "Brewsters". I sat in the bar area...it seemed as though it was an effort for the bartender ( with a bad sun parlor burn) to come over to the table. I ordered a Kettle One up, which is my favorite. When I tasted it I was very surprised  to have the overpowereing taste of a "dirty" martini. When I asked the bartender about it, and if she kept the blue cheese olives in olive juice she confirmed that they did. From that point I was treated as though I didn't know what I was talking about...she seemed very defensive and insecure.
I ordered a kind of large ravioli with lobster and lobster sauce..very yummy! It also came with some steak tips. They were a little chewy, and way too many. The Chef delivered my food to the table, and asked if I wanted some steak sauce, and I answered "no thanks". He retorted that of course I wouldn't want to ruin the steak with anything but the seasoning...and he was right....but I got the feeling that the bartender had spoken to him about the martini thing.
I left the bartender a very good tip, because everybody has a bad day. But, in retrospect ( having once been a bartender) she didn't make me feel very welcome.
I go to Cleveland from time to time, but I don't think I'll be returning to Brewsters.
I was hoping the third time was the charm, but alas, it was the last nail in the coffin.
I came in for lunch determined to give this place one more shot after two disappointing visits, because I support the local company that owns it, it's very convenient to my home office, and they make an absolutely killer lobster bisque.
What I realized is that unlike many restaurants that have the exact opposite problem, Brewster's is excellent on execution but simply awful at conceptualizing dishes. This time I paired my standby bisque with a grilled cheese sandwich with grilled Granny Smith apples, bacon, and a fancy cheese (perhaps gruyere?). Sounds great, right? Each one of these elements was better than average individually, but taken together the sandwich was simply an unappetizing mess. Like their "signature" wing sauce, it was a clash of flavors that simply did not go together. Understand, it was cooked perfectly! It just tasted like someone had accidentally mixed two recipes together and decided to run with it anyway.
To make matters worse, this time the usually excellent lobster bisque was topped by lump lobster meat that was ice-cold. Not the most appetizing thing in a hot soup. As much as I would like to return to Brewster's, I think this visit sealed the deal for me. I won't be back unless I have a real hankering for that bisque. It's the only thing I can remotely trust.
We were staying at the hotel across the parking lot from  Brewster's. The hotel clerk said guests at the hotel would receive 10% off the bill at Brewster's, so we decided to try it. I had a group of 9 for dinner
on a Tuesday evening around 8 pm. The dining room was nearly empty. I thought the kitchen would be able focus on our order and everything would be delicious. Not so.... Three of the five burger entrees were way over cooked. All the fries were lukewarm at best and undercooked, like they were leftover from the dinner rush. Â The two salad entrees were decent. The server took the cost of the three burger entrees off our bill but said no 10% since they already took the dinners off the bill. Disappointing... Not planning to return. As the old saying goes "you get 1 chance to make a good first impression."
A nice, classy bar and restaurant. Comfortable, decent food & drinks.
Pros:
Had a perfect rootbeer float martini. A little expensive ($8.50) but it was delicious. Why aren't there more adult drinks with rootbeer?
Had rootbeer-bbq sauce pork shanks that were meltingly tender. Very reasonable price for a huge portion.
Calamari with rings only! No freaky mini-squids.
Amish Warrier (brat) has a delicious pretzel bun. So good!
Nice atmosphere, lots of warm wood seats, moveable tables, flat screen tv's, a bar and restaurant area,
saturday night had a guitarist playing covers.
Nice selection of foodie dishes and standard favorites (my mom and I could both eat here!)
Patio looks nice, can't wait to come back in summer
Lots of other really exciting and interesting looking menu items that I want to try next time (Sweet potato gnocchi, tots, lobster ravioli, etc etc)
Cons:
Sauce selection for the calamari a bit lacking and weirdly presented
Server was a bit distracted (forgot salad, was not always available when we needed something)
Fries a bit underdone
Pretty loud at times, acoustics need some work
Martini's very expensive (and prices are not listed on the menu)
Overall I am looking forward to another trip.
This place is very easy to find in Twinsburg, off 91 right before you get to 480. It just opened and expanded and I can only think it will get better with time.
