Someone told me that I should try this place because it's the Chalmette version of Port of Call (great burger place in New Orleans) but better prices. Once I heard that I knew I had to give it a try. Me and a friend decided to give it a try on a Friday night. Went in and was immediately seated, no wait time at all. the place isn't very big, so I was surprised by this. After reviewing the menu, we placed our orders for the Brewster Burger (10-ounce sirloin beef) with a loaded baked potato. I decided to try their signature drink the Boom a lache, they have a full service bar so you can order whatever you like though. My drink came out first and it was delicious, very similar to port of calls monsoon drink, and the size was huge. After a short wait the food came and we were thoroughly impressed, great burger and the loaded baked potato was just right. Can't wait to go back when I'm in the mood for a quality burger at a great price. read more

They must be under new management because lately items have been missing in my order or some was not fresh.Ordered a burger plate dressed got no tomatoes or lettuce just a big hunk of onion.On another occasion the lettuce was wilted mind you the burgers use to be excellent but it seems every time I say I'm not going anymore I still go back but I think this will be my last time.I feel like I'm paying for some items I'm not getting. read more

the perfect spot to get a delicious hamburger! Simply one of the best. Staff is friendly, and they always stay in sight. It's fun to watch a game on one of their many TVs or even hop next door to their attached bar room if you had one of their tasty drinks and want to continue. read more

I Have ordered online for pick up for lunch here a few times. Unfortunately I did not get a picture of my food, my phone was dead. But I always get the same thing grilled salmon with onions and sweet potato fries with buttered bread . The salmon is always cooked to perfection and seasoned well . The butter and grilled onions on top seals the deal ! I have not tried anything else from here but plan to in the future. read more

Burgers not bad, frozen onion rings, taste like can gravy, small sitting area. Caters more to the older crowds

Worst place avoid it like ebola. I was served 10oz of raw burger as I was sitting there 3 other people sent back 2 raw burgers and 1 raw steak. We informed the waitress she said I'm sorry there is nothing I can do about the chef, at which time I informed her the quality control in a small, not busy restaurant is everyone's job. Eat from the taco truck down the street their food is always good and cooked properly. If they can't control the chef I will by eating anywhere else. Dumpster Diving included. read more

Food has always been great. Love the Brewster burger, with fries. I've never left there hungry. I highly recommend Brewsters.

Im not sure if they changed some things on the menu or not, but its damn good. Bar side ladies, are awesome &attentive read more

In a group of buildings with mostly closed businesses it is hard to find but worth the stop. Great local foods , the grilled pork chop is a must. Service is ok, but they get it done. Grilled chicken and crawfish pies are hard to beat. read more

This was absolutely a really delicious steak. Brewsters is one of my favorite go to spots for a inexpensive good steak. The hamburgers are really good also. They have a nice looking bar with lots of televisions so you can relax, have a drink and watch a game.Their signature drink is really good,it reminds me of the drinks at Port of Call. read more

Brewster's - 12 oz. New York Strip and loaded baked potatoe , minus bacon bits - Steakhouses Near Me - Chalmette, Louisiana

It was delicious. Everything is so good. The sweet potato fries are great. Love it every time.

NY STRIP was so yummy! thanks to jenn, trinity, and the cooks it was such a great dinner and even better service :)

Sunday 8 of jan 1:45 Absolute mess .... Under staffed is putting it mildly. This is how we were acknowledged by the young waitress " find a seat And ill get to you when I can" Horrible customer service, all the folks around is complaining so after waiting over 10 minutes and no one came to us AT ALL , we walked out! Sometimes certain folks get into the restaurant business and make a statement in the community...... today BREWSTERS MADE A STATEMENT TO US..... we dont give 2 nickels about you or your business. Sad sad sad! Might be time to rethink your operation , because this has been an issue that I was warned about by other unsatisfied ex customers! And by the look at your reviews your in serious trouble! read more

Just saying to start, this isn't my first time at Brewsters but it's the same repeated experience. The service is very much lacking. The waitress had to be called to the table for refills on drinks and such. She was not very attentive and I had the very same experience the other times I ate here as well. The hamburger and loaded baked potato was good. The onion rings not so much, very much seemed like the frozen kind and a lil bit hard as well. Overall I do not recommend Brewsters for the substandard service and only passable food. I won't be returning.. read more

First time eating here and was not impressed at all. The Brewster burger was gross. I ordered it medium and it came closer to medium rare. It was gummy and gross. The bun although it looked grilled, the black marks, the bun was cold and the bottom was mushy from what I assume was grease from the meat. Their 'dressed' consisted of a 1 inch piece of lettuce, a slice of tomatoe the size of a quarter, 2 pickles, and a few onion slivers. The onion rings were on point. My child's tender basket was proportioned good but the fries were barely warm and the tenders were slightly over cooked. The service was good. The ambiance was ok. There were several TVs to keep customer occupied off they didn't want to socialize with others at the table. read more

I've seen negative reviews here. This restaurant is a "hometown" place. If you want 5-star service, go to New Orleans and pay $75 a plate. They have the best spinach dip. My husband says the burgers are good. I've never had a problem with service. Sweet potato fries are good too. If you're from Chalmette, you understand the laid back atmosphere. There's nothing wrong with this restaurant. read more

We love going to Brewster's. Their burgers and tuna are amazing. I enjoy a rare-medium rare burger and they are spot on. I love that my burger is on a separate plate from the bun so that the bun does not become soggy before you even start putting it together. I think it's a brilliant idea to do this with you rare-medium rare burgers. I decided to get green beans as a side instead of fries and the beans are great. Our server Desiree(I hope I got that correct) was awesome as was the rest of the staff. It's always a toss up between burger or tuna and since I had tuna last time I went with the burger. Can't go wrong either way. read more

My go to place for a good burger! Never eat always take out. Never had a wrong or incomplete order.

Shoutout to @brewsterschalmette I had placed an order for a salad but once I had gotten there I realized that I left my wallet at the office I work at, I offered to have the waitress take my food back while I left to get my wallet! The waitress was so kind she said I can just call back with my card info!!! The service was great and I will be a returning customer!!! read more

Brewster's - Chicken salad - Steakhouses Near Me - Chalmette, Louisiana

Food was basic. My main issue is them having the nerve to charge me for ketchup when I ordered a shrimp basket. Won't be back.

We went in to eat, sat at a table because no one was there to greet us, it was a group of 6 people. We were sitting there for at least 10 minutes and finally asked for a menu, she said I have to go get you some, she comes back and throws 3 menus on our table, and walks away, we walked out because that was uncalled for, and we were good tippers, she missed out read more

Reasonable price $$, good grade of beef, very fulling, low key family gathering spot, bar on one side restaurant on other. If u hate the smell of smoke this is not the place for you; bar and restaurant are connected and smoke travel throughout the resturant. I visit Brewster's often very disappointed this visit, I order Brewster burger dinner my burger was burn beyond recognition,the taste of a grill and burnt food; I had to ask for another burger. I waited another 15mins for my burger while my party already finish eating. Other then that service was ok. read more

Really good food!! Enjoyed the Boudin egg rolls they're so good you must try them more than once.

super local, super delicious, super reasonable! One of the best burgers I have had! It is a huge juicy patty cooked perfectly! They have different buns too (I got the sourdough which sweet like the waitress said but they also have jalapeño cheddar as well as a regular bun) for about 5.50ish and a Louisiana lager beer for 2.50$ you cannot beat this meal! also a 92/100 health score through yelp! They have a lounge/bar separated from the restaurant but plenty of tvs to watch the games in both settings. The staff is nice and attentive as well! Highly highly recommend! This place deserves to have 5 stars at least in regards to their burgers. Looking forward to trying a steak here. read more

My husband and I tried to go to a restaurant for dinner, and the wait was super long. We looked on Yelp for somewhere close by with good reviews and found Brewsters. It took a while for someone to come to our table. But once we got a waitress, the service was attentive. We each ordered a hamburger and split an order do chicken tenders. Everything was great. The chicken was crispy but not greasy. The burgers were accurately cooked and had a great flavor. The prices were reasonable as well. We would come back if in the area again! read more

We ordered a large garden salad...not nearly as generous as described. Restaurant was really busy and we only could sit at a dirty table. Waitresses all but one looked miserable. We both got 12 oz NY strips...really just fine and loaded baked a treat. They forgot our salad at first but remembered later. Our dinner with tip was over 60.00. Dont know if we will do this again read more

I have to say Brewsters has a pretty good burger . I always have a friendly waitress when I go and the to go orders are always done before I get there. It's not the biggest place and sometimes there's a small wait for a table but the staff is always welcoming . The food is priced perfectly in my opinion and is a better value than any other burger place you can find in the area.. even including the fast food places. Give them a try and see for your self. read more

Working in Da Parish for the past 9 years and living here for the past 4, I've frequented this place at least 40 times. Brewster's is really 2 places in 1. On 1 side you have a family friendly area with a bunch of tables and on the other side a bar with a jukebox, dart boards and such. I gave this place a 4th star instead of 3 based on a few things. First they by far have the best burger in the parish! Sorry Da Parish...i'm not a native and I forget. Oh and why is St. Bernard Parish called Da Parish? The have like 50 parishes across the state yet whenever one refers to "Da Parish" or "The Parish" people immediately know what you are talking about. Where was I? Oh yeah the burgers! The burgers come in 2 sizes. The regular size looks like something Fred Flintsone ordered at the drive-in and knocked his car over on it's side. The baby burger is much more normal in size and equally delish, you just feel less manly when ordering. They have other things too but I always go for the burger and baked potato. The other reason I give it a 4th star, is the bar. The bar has a lot of different bottled beer which I like. The people here are also always pretty nice. In most other bars I have been to in Da Parish, there is always some Jersey Shore looking reject looking to start a fight. Not here. A much more mellow older friendly crowd. Much more my speed. read more

I love this place!! I get burgers all the time!! Sourdough my bun please!!! I haven't been in to eat lately because of COVID but I love how easy it is to order online and they even have curbside pick up for the win!! A bi plus!! I've also notice they did some renovations!! So when it's safe I'll be back to dine and maybe try something new off the menu.....Nahhhhh that sourdough bun has me hooked!! read more

The baked potatoes are not cooked long enough they still be hard and the burgers could be juicier

What a Good burger! I asked for well and I received medium well! Yet it did not take away from the taste or quality! I would buy this burger again over McDonalds any day! Your paying almost the same price! The bun was fresh and the dressings were nice and crisp! I had the baked potato instead of fries, and I wished they would use real bacon bits instead of imitation but it still was pretty good! I've noticed after going her maybe 3/4 times there's always a room full of local Chalmatians that's staring you down as you walk in! Another occasion one of the waitresses was rude as she did not want to explain the bun options twice , but it was ok she just missed out on her tip for being short! read more

Great burger cooked perfectly! What this place lacks for in ambience was made up by the fact that this was probably the best burger I've had here in New Orleans so far! read more

When you see this restaurant is full of complains about overcooked food, non-exsitentnce service and overly long waiting time, you gotta believe reviews are not from yelp trolls but people are seriously disappointed. Naive me, I thought I should give them a try anyway. TL;DR version: Don't tell them they messed up the order or they will get extremely mad at you and give you hard time. I went to this place for lunch with party of 5. The restaurant was packed at the time. We placed our order, and patiently waited for 45 minutes until our food were served. My order was: Medium tuna steak, whole wheat buns and dressing on side. What I got: Overcooked chewy tuna, white bread buns, no dressing. I tried to tell waitress something is wrong with my order, but she disappeared and never showed up to our table for another 40 minutes. Ok, I don't want to be difficult so I finished the disgusting meal. I decide that I don't want to cause any trouble but I should still let the waitress and kitchen know they messed up my order and they would be careful for other customers. When we have to walk to the casher because they never showed up to give us the bill, I told the casher that my order was wrong but don't worry about it, I just want them to be aware. Then the drama began, casher's face turned even colder than before:"What do you mean your order is wrong? There's nothing wrong!" I showed them my ticket that clearly said all my requirements, "For example, I didn't get my dressing on side." "You should." Ah excuse me, I'm sorry that I should have my imaginary dressing on side? Then casher asked who took my order, all waitresses step away and said they didn't take the order and they started to turn the cold shoulder to me and my group. Casher then ignored my credit card, and taking payment from other customers. I was standing there without knowing what was going on. The atmosphere turned to ice cold. It seems like everyone started hated us and staring at us. I approached to casher again and asked her to take my payment. She said:"Oh, I am trying to look into the issue." When she apparently didn't do anything but giving us the look. I told her that's fine just charge me, I wasn't looking for any reimbursement but just wanted to notify them something went wrong with the order. She took my cards and charged me. No one communicated with me nor anyone apologized for messed up the order, they only wasted my another 10 minutes. After entire weird small drama, I can only be thankful that I walked out of the restaurant alive. read more
