I like the food and the drink variety but seating can be challenging. Been here twice and food has been good both times. This time I had the Guac Bacon burger and the spicy guacamole sauce was yummy! Asked the gal for a recommendation on a mead that's sweet and she recommended a blueberry one from Superstition Meadery (AZ) and that was really good - so good my partner kept accidentally picking up my cup Was there around 3:30pm so seating wasn't bad but the last time I was here and meal time, we were nervous we weren't going to find a seat read more

Excellent sandwiches and soup. Be careful with takeout, as some of the food doesn't travel well. This is common with a lot of foods - not the restaurant - so don't let it keep you from ordering to go. This is an American business with American values. No woke BS here. read more

This place has a nice relaxed atmosphere. Very modern farm style rustic decor, so not outdated at all. Walking into the place, the flow is sort of like smash burger ( hate comparing the two but it's true). Here's why, you walk in..there's this wooden counter top that controls the flow and forms lines towards the counter where you order. Then once you order, you get a number to put on your table. I don't mind it, I just wasn't expecting it. The place is cute and they serve alchy-hol!! Not just beer but they have a selection of cocktails as well. Yay! The bar set up is nicely tucked away in the back! Service is good and food came out fairly quick. But anyways, on to the good stuff...FOOD! Food: usually I start with the main thing, but the fries...the fries were perfect! I devoured that first and all of it before even touching the main thing that I ordered. Ok so I jonesing for a good burger. Though, I wanted something different..you know..one of those things. They have this burger called Goat & Fig Burger. It's basically a beef patty with goat cheese, arugula & fig jam. Ok so yeah normally my thing is artisanal pizzas but wtf..not going to turn down an "artisanal" burger. Had to make sure this was even real. Taste: Soo...it looked awesome when they brought me this unicorn burger..and I know I'm super hyping this burger up. My eyes were definitely eating this burger..yup! So first bite, it wasn't bad..the goat cheese and the arugula was good. I wish they had more arugula because as soon as I was mid way through that burger..the fig jam was over powering!! Either they put wayyyy too much or it was just...ridiculously too sweet. It was soo sweet that I couldn't taste anything else but the fig jam, the patty and everything else that was wonderful on there had absolutely no taste because the fig jam just slaughtered it! It was pretty rough trying to choke down those last bites. Soo definitely not ordering that again..ruined my fairy tale burger I had playing out in my mind. The drinks: ok my saving grace was the huge glass of beer they serve. I love beer but let's just say, I REALLY LOVE Beer while eating that burger. They have beer options from local breweries around town (love that). I love the beer called "Panty Peeler" from Midnight sun brewing company. Yeah and I love the name (wink). I also ordered one of their cocktails, "Beluga Blue Gin Lemonade" because my friend had one and it was Hawaii blue and I was like..I deserve something like that too. So yup, that's my reasoning! Anyways, it was ok..I'm sure it would've been better if my meal wasn't too sweet because that drink was pretty sweet. It's pretty though but I'm pretty sure my glucose levels was already Sky high when I slammed that blue drink. Anyways..everything else was great. Will I come back? Sure. Do I recommend this place to others? Yeah, it's a great experience and the other people with me really loved their food. Just lesson learned on that goat fig burger. read more

I found god in this Philly Beer Cheese sandwich. I will never be as satisfied as I was when I took that first bite ever again. Yes, the steak may be a little hard to take a proper bite of to ensure you don't choke, but at least you'd die happy. The beer cheese is so much more complex than some Cheez Wiz on a Philly. It has depth and an almost smokiness that I've never had before, and works so well with the salty meat and sweet peppers/onions. Ciders are perfect, the cashier recommended the AK Ciderworks Mango which came in a nice frosty glass and was one of the best I've ever had. And I usually hate mango flavors! I will be back here when I can. Great service, amazing food and even better bar service. read more

This is a nice little restaurant. There were 5 of us and we had the truffle fries that came with two delicious dipping sauces. One sauce was a house chipotle and the other a spicy honey mustard. We followed that with two flatbread pizzas l. These are new to us. The Cali was a favorite of 3 of us and the other two liked the goat cheese with balsamic vinegar. We were all full and fighting over who had to eat the last piece of pizza. Two in our party enjoyed a couple of the craft beers and enjoyed the Mantanuska very much. There is also a wine list. read more

Came back here a second time this past weekend, and wanted to update my review because we really enjoy this place. If you are in the mood for a casual meal, and well constructed sandwich this is definitely a great spot! Service was on point this visit, and food came out much quicker than our 1st visit. I am going to assume the snafus were due to use being a large group last time. We tried the spinach artichoke flatbread as an appetizer, and it was really good. Super creamy, and had great flavor! We were sad when we finished it. This time around I ordered a "Stupid Good" cold sandwich, and subbed in chipotle instead of ranch. They are super accommodating with small changes, and I really appreciate that. The sandwich was really great. It was huge, loaded with turkey, ham, and bacon. The bread was really fresh and crispy. The jalapeno relish on the sandwich was awesome--added the perfect amount of spice. My husband, being a creature of habit, ordered the same thing as our 1st visit, but enjoyed it just as much. We are definitely sold on Bread & Brew, and will be back to try other selections! read more

Loved this place. Went at lunch on a Tuesday, it was packed... as you would expect for a place that serves great food. We had the Stupid Good cold sandwich and the Aloha grilled cheese, along with a bowl of Tomato Basil soup. Everything was great, the basil soup was kinda like a puree... very good. Meat cuts were quality. The desert menu looks great as well, will return to try that:) Nice Ambience:) read more

The beer recommendation I was impressed with Midnight Sun - A local brewery, and the waiter said with my selection add a little OJ with the Panty Peeler! It Worked! This was our 1st time here. The place is inviting, the staff attentive and helpful and the food came out fast! I mean super fast. That's a plus at lunch during the work week! I saw on their menu their Sriracha Sliders looked good and is a specialty of theirs so that's what I did. It could have used a little more Sriracha I asked them for more on the side. They brought me a bottle. Then I kept wanting to taste the pineapple chutney, I really didn't get that flavor. A little better than a 3.5 but will have to try again to improve their rating. read more

Best Cubano in Anchorage! This has quickly become my favorite grilled cheese place. I hadn't heard of this restaurant until recently, but once I tried it I quickly went back three or four times. For grilled cheese, I've tried the OG and White Buffalo and they were PERFECT. I don't know what else to say about them. Over my visits I was able to also try their reindeer chili, tomato bisque, and Hungarian mushroom soup and all of them were awesome. The chili was nice and thick, there was no sparing the reindeer. The tomato bisque is the same as you get on the side when you order a grilled cheese, but is so good it's worth ordering a bowl. If you're not in the mood for grilled cheese, the Hungarian mushroom is awesome with the Italian. And the Cubano. . . . oh my! I've been hunting for the best Cubano in Alaska and I think I found it. It's so delicious I don't feel right describing it without having one in front of me. I'll have to order one just so I can give it it's own review. I will definitely be back. read more

Excellent food. I ordered delivery and it was very quick. I ordered the apple and bacon grilled cheese. It was amazing. My wife makes the same grilled cheese. It felt like I was back home.

Not a bad "upscale" grilled cheese place. Overpriced for what you get. The tater tots were not seasoned.

We went to Bread & Brew last night for the 1st time & the place was super busy!! I think people were get out since our Mayor Berkashitz is mandating everyone wear mask on Monday, therefore this surely can't help the restaurants! Anywho we sat at the bar & our server was " Nadia?" Super Awesome, this lady never stopped moving.. us our beer helped deliver food helped with takeout helped in the kitchen she totally Rocks! I just lowered the star because my food didn't come out very hot, Nadia apologized but we said it's not her fault as we could see they were slammed! We will definitely be back! I also want to say the beer on tap is spot on read more

Welp, I was on an extreme low carb diet when the place opened. I'm still on a low carb diet, I'm justno longer waging a personal jihad against carbs. I cheat sometimes. This is a great place to cheat! I came in and ordered the special: Carnitas Tacos. There were three of them, and they were generously-sized. They weren't those itty bitty street tacos that cost a dollar, they were about 2-3X as big. This is good. I love the overall style of the place. The wolf logo is great. The bar looks like a great spot to chill. I hope to come back some night after work for happy hour drinks. (like most places in Alaska I don't think they "do Happy Hour", but, it would be a great place to unwind after a day in the office...yeah...that's what I meant to say.) Service was also great. I came for lunch and they had me in-and-out in a jiffy. read more

All I've ever ordered is the Stupid Good sandwich sandwich because I love the alfalfa sprouts and the jalapeño ranch on it. The Hungarian Mushroom soup was a first try for me today and it is creamy, rich, and flavored with just the right ratio of spices.

Is it Panera? Nope. Better. If Panera cared about quality and also served beer, it still wouldn't measure up. This place serves delicious and comforting food, although it may be too well lit (my only real complaint). The great white buffalo is surprisingly good, and the chicken bacon ranch is messy in the best way. Outstanding and friendly service is the rule here, as well as delicious and timely grilled cheese sandwiches served properly with a tomato basil dipper. Pro Tip: Upsize to cup of tomato basil soup. It's better that way. The beer selection is an added bonus, and always seems to be the appropriate temperature, with the appropriate mixture of carbonation. If I could give more stars, I would.

I felt obligated to try this new restaurant in Anchorage as it is owned by a fellow Belgian Malinois owner and I just so happen to try and support those that are capable handlers! That aside this is a cool joint! I enjoy the decor and love the music. I only wish they had more cider options, but I can appreciate keeping it local, but it would be nice to have some Ace cider bottles available. The first time I went here I ordered the french dip which was good, I will say next time I will order it with a different cheese as I felt the sandwich was lacking the flavor it could have had. Perhaps I am crazy but I would love to see a garlic cheese bread french dip sandwich, maybe I am crazy but that sounds bomb. be Themato basil soup is freaking delicious, probably some of the best I have had in Alaska. Reminds me of the Firehouse Deli in Mill Creek, Washington. Yum! Keep up the good work Jesse!! read more

I've been very, very, very sick and had nothing but clear liquids for about week. I thought it only fitting my first solid food should be a grilled cheese. I'd heard rave reviews about this place and have been dying to try it. Surprisingly on the Saturday night after PFD, Bread and Brew wasn't super busy- only about half full. We seated ourselves and were promptly greeted by our really excellent server (a rarity in Anchorage.) Our server and the ambiance are the best things about this place. The food is very good, but not outstanding; and given the price for grilled cheese i expected more. And a 20 minute wait in a restaurant that isn't busy for a grilled cheese that involved no plating or presentation is inexcusable. Don't misunderstand, I'm not hating, I like what they're doing here. It's beautiful inside- hip and comfy. Tons of great beers on tap, awesome servers. Check out the tables... so beautiful. And the food is delish. But I think this place is going to go out of business when the novelty wears off in a few years, if they don't address some issues. They're charging a little too much for a little too little and doing it too slowly. And the worst part is the location which is INCREDIBLY difficult to get to. Even though it's super close to the hospitals, its on the wrong side of traffic to catch outbound traffic heading home from work. And if you can GET there, then getting back home is a nightmare. There's a reason this location has always been a dead spot for businesses. I wish them luck, but if they're smart, they're reconsider their location pronto. And yea, the grilled cheese was amazing and nursed me back to health, although it did seem slightly sacrilegious that it didn't have a slice to tomato. I will forgive this oversight in light of the magical cheese crust. read more

Great food and beer. Quick & friendly service. We hit it up every time we come to Anc

I was leery with the establishment name...can they really gave gluten free? YES they can, they do and they rock it! I had the Gouda, Granny Smith, bacon sandwich-yum doesn't cover it! Amazing from the minute you walk in and are greeted like a long lost friend, to the knowledge the staff has if gluten free items to the food itself--overall amazing establishment and experience! Can't wait until I'm hungry again to head back! read more

I have tried this place on several occasions now and just never impressed. Twice I've tried the Hungarian mushroom soup thinking maybe they were having on off day the 1st time. But again very watery and bland. The tomato soup is better but the grilled cheese ( Apple & Bacon) was very skimpy on all ingredients not to mention cold and very overcooked to the point of being hard. I didn't complain as I was a guest and someone else was paying. Give them 2 stars only because it is a cute place and good beer selection. read more

I typically don't review places but this one was very frustrating. Took me 45 minutes to get a sandwich to go. Sat down and had 6 different parties that order before me get their food first. One single sandwich vs parties of 3+. Won't be returning. read more

Before heading home, I wanted to get a snack & stopped at the Bread and Brew. It was nice hour, a few people were there, spread out thru the restaurant. I saw a small chalkboard with the large number 5 on it and seen that they had a spicy Mac & Cheese for only..you guessed it... 5 bucks. The cashier was a very kind lady & was very patient when my card took a while to function correctly. After I sat down, five minutes or so my Mac and cheese came out! Although I'm used to a larger portion of my favorite side dish, this one did not disappoint! Very cheesy, creamy, and spicy! Definitely would get this again. The top is covered in melted cheese that drips along the outsides of the cup & hardens as you eat. The jalapeño's are also delicious with every scoop you get.. can't wait to get my next fix ! read more

Docking a star because for some reason they took the sandwich I ordered during my first visit, On The Lo, off the menu. I'm particularly perplexed as to why they did since their focused is on grilled cheese sandwiches. Also perplexed as to why a place with "bread" in their name only offers sourdough for grilled cheese sandwiches. You can add avocado to a sandwich but I didn't want to pay the additional $2. This time I ordered the apple and bacon sandwich. I've had apple on sandwiches before, but not on a grilled sandwich, so I decided to be adventurous. It was good but I prefer the texture of apples when they're crisp on cold sandwiches. I also ordered a cup of their tomato basil soup. Even though the grilled cheese sandwiches come with a side of the soup, I wanted more of it. The texture was oddly chunky, like cottage cheese. I was hoping for something more smooth and creamy. I guess I didn't notice the texture or wasn't bothered by it the first time. Different server this time, but like the first one she was very friendly and attentive. I got my food much quicker this time since it was less busy so that was nice. Beer list looked more or less the same so not sure how often they change their rotation, but good selection nonetheless. Overall enjoyable place for a beer and a quick bite, but I do wish the menu was more consistent. read more

I got the goat and fig burger comes with bacon and sounds amazing until you don't get any cheese and I'm not sure how this is even possible but the bacon flavor is lost. There is to much fig to taste the bacon. The meat was over cooked which is pretty typical cuz they they don't want to get some one sick but they take it over board. Also the price is 20$ also the tomato soup had some good flavor but portion was very small for 7$ my fries were soggy so not even worth it. Over all I would not bother with this place. Unless you really like tomato soup and want to pay for 2 of them to get a nice amount. read more

I had high hopes for this place due to the rave reviews. Not sure if we hit this at the wrong time or ordered the wrong things. Late lunch. Fast and very couteous service. The food was just off. I ordered the beer cheese philly cheese steak. Problem was the beer cheese sucked me in and it was just missing in action. This sandwich totally missed the mark and to top it off the beef tasted like ot was cooked in/with their barbeque pork. Weird flavor and really dissapointed in the lack of beer cheese promised. Provolone is not a substitute. I'd try a grilled cheese they are known for as 1 last chance but this time they are a solid 3. read more

It took me several years to justify going out to a restaurant for 'fancy' grilled cheese sandwiches, but I am so glad I finally did! Bread & Brew is the perfect neighborhood restaurant for comfort food. Though the seating area is smaller, it's tasteful, clean and well-lit. My favorite 'go-to' meal is the Pulled Pork Tacos! Three to plate- and even though I am full by the second one, I don't have enough self-control to not eat the third because they taste so good! Other favorites include a few of their grilled sandwiches- the "Hello Basil", Chicken Bacon Ranch and the Apple & Bacon. My favorite salad there is the Strawberry Fields. And the pretzel is yummy (but overpriced, in my opinion. Prices overall have increased lately, but that's a sign of the times. Still, if I am going to eat out and comfort food is on the menu, Bread & Brew is on the short list. read more

Great spot for lunch! They have a large menu with lots of options. Most items can be made gluten free!

Do you like beer? Do you like grilled cheese? You definitely need to try Bread and Brew. Fairly large selection of local beers on tap and other options available from a can/bottle. When I was there they had a special for one of their ciders for $2. Yes please! They have a full menu and I tried a grilled cheese and a ham sandwich. The grilled cheese was perfectly crisp with gooey melted cheese and served with a side fresh tomato soup. The tomato soup itself was amazing and I could easily have eaten an entire bowl of it. Everything else was also fresh and hot off the grill. The inside is nice and you can either sit at a bar or table. Service was great, the staff made excellent recommendations and were fast. Prices were also great and did not seem overpriced, although food was a bit on the spendier side than you would think. I would definitely go back and it was a great place to grab food and drink with my family, especially having some that were underage. read more

The food here consistently delights, always delivering on quality.The Over Under and the Peanut Butter Pie are must-tries.

Food wasn't bad but nothing special. Service was horrendous. They lost our order and then made up some BS excuse after one of their staff already told us they didn't put the ticket in. It's one thing to make a mistake but lying about it is unacceptable. If you want to wait forever for mediocre food then this is your spot. Otherwise I'd advise you go somewhere else. read more

Sandwiches are the type of food you'd need to try real hard to screw up. Conversely, it takes one hell of a sandwich to stand tall above the rest. You can probably surmise that my experience at Bread and Brew was average. The service was average and the food met my expectations. The cubano I ordered came out exactly how I pictured it and tasted just fine. So why am I dissatisfied? Maybe it has more to do with me and my personal tastes than anything to do with the restaurant. I have a hard time coming to grips with entree-priced "meat, cheese, and condiments packed in-between slices of commercial bread". I have to mention that the potato chips come across as an afterthought, and that's if you're lucky enough to have them included with your 'wich. The table beside us received their grilled cheese sandwiches without anything but some kind of dip. I almost had to stifle a laugh cause I wouldn't be too happy to receive what could just as easily be found in any college student's culinary repertoire. I apologise if this review seems particularly mean-spirited, but those are my thoughts on the "Best New Restaurant" in 2018 according to Anchorage Daily News. read more
