Love the updated reno at Brewsters! The ambiance is much brighter in the atrium and the new furniture is comfy. The food is always delicious and the homemade sauces, dressings and baked goods are greatly appreciated! Although we noticed the portion sizes are slightly smaller, our meals were outstanding and the service was great. Parking can be challenging; however, they do have a small parking lot and there is street parking in the neighborhood. A beautiful outdoor patio with vines and flowers is a perfect spot for lovely weather days and Brewster's is great for families, lunch/dinner with friends or date night! read more

This was just about as perfect an experience as it gets. We were in town for a Paul McCartney concert in Chicago and had opted to stay in new Buffalo to have a slightly less expensive room for the night as well as avoiding Chicagoland traffic in the morning. We had not counted on finding such a wonderful restaurant as part of the experience. To begin with the restaurant space is gorgeous. We arrived to find beautiful lighting, and various rooms dressed up with Christmas trees. This space was clearly something else in its former life, perhaps a home? Our waitress Melissa was an absolute sweetheart. She made a point of checking with us several times throughout the meal, and was Delightful to talk to. Our meal was magnificent. I went with their signature Bolognese, and it was absolutely perfect. Heaping amounts of sauce with generous amounts of meat, and perfectly cooked pasta. I was so pleased I almost licked the bowl. Dessert was a must and I went with their sticky toffee pudding. This was another triumph, wonderful toffee bits and soft finish. Frankly I'm a little sad that this place is so far away from where I live, or I would be inclined to come back just to have dinner. read more

We had a large party and service was friendly but a little slow. It took longer to bring out two matcha drinks than it did to bring f out appetizers. The individual pizza and salad is the perfect portion. Beware of the fish sticks, they're presented in a pool of tartar sauce. I wish the menu had more options and was surprised to see Indian and German options in an Italian restaurant. Very pretty decor, the back room is extremely warm! read more

Brewster's is a locally owned gem. We went for a late Sunday lunch and was not disappointed. The restaurant is beautiful. The atrium bar is bright and area with large windows and skylights and the hanging plants makes you feel as if you are sitting outside. There are family photos on the walls adding to the homey feeling. Service was very good and attentive even though the restauraunt was packed. We started with complimentary house bread with olive oil and parmesan, amazing. Their lunch menus offers salads, pizza, sandwiches and pastas. I had the half chopped salad and soup. The salad was a chopped margherita salad. It was very good. the basil was fresh and the pine nuts were buttery and sweet. My husband had the shrimp alfredo with a side salad. It was white shrimp sauteed with spinach and red peppers. We were\thoroughly impressed by the exceptional quality of the food, and the service was attentive service , and the decor was stunning. Would like to try their pizza next time. read more

Our favorite place to eat when visiting New Buffalo. Our 3 year old liked it so much, he asked to eat here twice on this trip. Their house salad is fresh, big portion size and has a really tasty dressing. We loved the New Yorker pizza. The crust was perfect. Great fresh flavor on the tomato sauce and nice cheese pull. My son asked for "noodles" both times and we ordered him the kids pasta with Alfredo sauce. It was piping hot, and again big portion size. The pasta tasted fresh and had a really nice buttery parm flavor. He kept urging us to try it and commented several times that it so delicious. Big compliments coming from a 3 year old. We got dessert one of these times and it was really good too. Ask for the bread too if you eat here, they have a nice bread with oil and shredded parm. We left so full each time and impressed with the quality of the food here. Everyone was super nice and the restaurant is nice, clean and has a great aesthetic. read more

We absolutely love this place! We were in New Buffalo for a couple days & we ate there for lunch on Thursday & back for breakfast Friday. Beautiful seating area with windows & skylights by the bar. Also, outdoor covered patio. The bread to start with olive oil & Parmesan was so good. I had the ceasar salad & it was delish. The crutons & dressing were delish. I had the Betty white pizza. Amazing. The crust was chewy & crispy. For breakfast I had the hippie hash. Veggies done to perfection. Toast & jam was great too. I came with a large group. Which they accommodated happily. We didn't have reservations, but they got us in. My family loved their breakfast. Avocado toast was great too. Can't wait to come back & try the Detroit style pizza. It looks amazing too. read more

Following up on a previous review. The owner pretends in her response to my review to have followed up on my complaint and researched that I had used the card. However, one additional detail she doesn't mention. When I asked her what phone number was given for the customer who used my gift card in October 2025, she said "I won't give you my customer information". Ok, but she is accusing me of being that specific customer using the gift card and does no research to determine who actually used the gift card. It's sad actually that she goes out of her way to protect a theft. read more

Cacio e pepe (pasta dish) and The New Yorker (pizza) along with a Cosmo for post dinner Espresso martini... all were FANTASTIC!!!! I always try to stop by here for a little me time and being that I'm from Chicago I'm pretty picky about food/drinks and this place is 10/10 for me. From the service to the food to the ambiance (great music and design)... would highly recommend to all!!! read more

The service was great, the food was delicious and didn't break my bank account, but I hate when they nail you for a "convenience fee".... I would rather leave that for the server. Also, a woman at the next table was enjoying a birthday lunch with her boyfriend. I asked two different waiters if they could bring her something for her birthday, a piece of cake, a cupcake, a cookie. Crickets. If they had done those things, it would've been a five and they would've knocked it out of the park. read more

Nice dining in bistro experience. Menu can be limited sometimes, but you will always find something. Pasta is fresh and homemade. Visited many times. Warm weather terrace dining is the best. Respectable wine list. The most challenging thing is remembering they are in the EST time zone if you're coming from the west. read more

Nice atmosphere, friendly service. Our waiter split our bill between our party which was appreciated. Make sure to make a reservation on open table as this is a busy area. We had dinner at 9pm on a Saturday with a reservation. We didn't end up getting seated until 9:20 because it was so busy. Bread is available if you request it. Only the first round is free. We had bruschetta as an appetizer (6 pieces). There was the perfect amount of toppings and the right size bread to go with it. I would order this again! It was so tasty! I had chicken Alfredo for my dinner. The portion sizes on the pasta is ginormous. It is easily two meals. I liked the sauce and the pasta. The chicken in it was just average. The pizza that people ordered looked delicious as well as the desserts. My entire table really enjoyed their meals. We would come back! read more

We came here for a nice birthday dinner after hearing good things about their Italian food. You definitely want to make a reservation here in the summer time as it's a popular place. We had a very kind waitress, who brought us a pizza and complimentary bread (I think you have to ask for this) for appetizers. Despite not having a woodfired pizza oven the pizzas came out great here. The pastas were also all very good. The Specialty (salmon) salad was also excellent. The lemon chicken pasta was a bit of a miss as there was basically no lemon flavor, and the Tikka masala (which is interesting they even have this on the menu) was also not the best as they don't stew the chicken in the sauce as is traditional. Otherwise we had a wonderful experience, and they even brought our cookies for the table with a candle for the birthday being celebrated! read more

My girlfriend and I took a little trip down to new Buffalo from Chicago. Stop by this restaurant on some random food tour. The place had a nice vibe to it. The people were friendly and the food seemed really fresh. But the real star of the show was a Detroit style pizza that we ordered. So I'm a kid from the south side of Chicago Tavern style or deep dish is what I've been brought up with and what I know. when I tell you the second, I took a bite out of this damn pizza I started questioning my whole pizza experience throughout my whole life. This is my first time trying Detroit style Pizza and oh my goodness I was very very happy I did. I already went back twice with my girlfriend and a buddy of mine. It's definitely worth the drive. read more

A cozy, classy place to visit with great service and food. 4.5. We went twice during our stay. Enjoyed a tasty and affordable ($16) lunch special, which was halibut, roasted carrots, and cauliflower puree. My friend had a very nice salad with delicious salmon. We did try the roasted squash app, which had a good flavor, but we didn't care for the "skin" left on. It was rubbery. Breakfast found us with embellished French toast and the old standby breakfast. I'm a huge sausage gravy fan, and theirs was among the best! A perfect amount of peppery bite. I would definitely go back. read more

Best Italian we have had in a very long time in this area. Highly recommend!! The dinner for two was the best!!

Might be bias here, because Italian is top 3 favorite foods, but this place was recommend by a friend to try whenever we had a chance to visit the closer part of Michigan. First of all, our waitress, super sweet!! Customer service does matter and she was on it!! So sad her name didn't stay with me though. We got seated by the cute fireplace, which was perfect for the chilly day. We got a bottle of wine, some starters and the Betty white pizza. We were planning on getting another Pasta dish but we were stuffed! Did not expect the artichoke dip to come with garlicky bread instead of the usual chips but we were not complaining. Would definitely return. read more

We've been here quite a few times in the past but this time was Breakfast. Wow, they really fixed up the place, looks like a few more outside tables. This time we sat in the atrium because we always like the atmosphere here. I ordered Mary's Mess, it's the Mess but with a Bloody Mary. My wife ordered the half order Biscuits and Gravy with a side of sausage patties and a Bloody Mary as well. Both were very good, as well as the Bloody Mary's. The Service was great, and food order was timely. My only issue was the ++Kitchen tip added in the bill. I'm not going to take any stars off for that. All tips are basically shared with staff anyway, and I did leave 25% (my sister used to be a waitress) We love the new decor, the food is always good, I don't think we've ever had a bad meal here. read more

This is the cutest place for breakfast or brunch. I loved the interior and the outdoor patio is absolutely adorable. The food was delicious and I highly recommend trying the stuffed French toast. read more

I stopped in for some dessert. The texture of the pot de creme was good but the flavor was not quite for me. The tiramisu tasted good at first bite, but the middle and bottom are watery, unpleasant. That is a first. A glass is not a good idea for tiramisu. The hummingbird cake was ok. Frosting is pretty sweet and the cake is a little bland but ok, kinda tastes like banana bread. The server was friendly and everything came out quickly. The bar area is nice. There are no prices on the dessert menu. No reason for that. There is a kitchen tip as well as a server tip line on the receipt. There is a credit card fee but no one mentioned it. I don't think it is ok to just hope that people see the small print. Overall, it was just ok but not amazing. read more

100 stars. This is the absolute, no doubt, the best restaurant in town. And just a wonderful restaurant in general! Every time I come into town from California (since I was a child, and demanded their pizza), I can't wait to come here. It just keeps getting better and better. The pizza is still amazing, but I have now also moved on to a larger variety of foods :). Last summer we sat on the beautiful patio and I had such a delicious salmon dish. My dad and sister loved what they ordered also. Ad we are harsh critics. Last month I was back in town and had to come two days in a row for lunch! I have never had better soup in my lifetime (I come from a family of chefs, and parents that owned two well known restaurants in Santa Monica, so I know what I'm talking about). The best potato leek soup I've ever had in my life! I would eat that soup everyday if I lived there! The next day I tried their white bean soup.. also so delicious! Of course we had pizzas and salads- all perfect! We brought a famous Michigan chef there for lunch and he loved everything too! The new remodel is gorgeous, and the staff is so lovely and friendly. I can't wait to come back into town in July... maybe you can have the potato leek soup available ;) I think our first server was named Caroline, and she was so lovely and helpful. The next day we had a very hip cool dressed girl. I didn't catch her name, but also just as lovely and accommodating. We will be back soon! read more

I got two of their signature cocktails, the whipped feta, the chicken schnitzel sandwich, and the burger with my girlfriend for a brunch date. All of the food was phenomenal and our server recommended the gazpacho, which was perfect for the hot afternoon. Our server was honestly one of the best experiences I have had recently and the atmosphere outside on the patio was really nice. I would highly recommend this place for a first date or for cocktails with friends. We will definitely be returning soon to try their dinner menu. read more

We love this place and visited this afternoon for our fave Roma tortellini (add Italian sausage) and Meatball spaghetti. Always tastes as great as we remember. Scott took excellent care of us. read more

I had an amazing lunch truly a five-star meal. The cacio e pepe was spot-on. Loved it. The service was wonderful.

So very nice. My family took a quick day trip to New Buffalo. They have these cute little shops in this touristy town. And we decided to break bread here. The service is so sweet. It's clean and the food is yummy. Their menu isn't crazy extensive but what they do offer, they offer deliciously. There's not a lot. We just parked within the town and took a nice, little walk. read more

This place has an amazing outdoor space. The inside is relatively small, reservations are highly recommended. I want to love this restaurant as I love the atmosphere and location. Their menu u is also very appealing and interesting. That said, the food is ok to good, but it's not the best around. I hate saying that, but after many meals that's where I'm at. Today we went for breakfast (first time) and got The Mess (great concept, but SALTY is an understatement). Comes with a biscuit, but if it was homemade I couldn't tell. It wasn't warm, buttery and soft, it was dry and a little hard. We also got the Banana Bourbon French Toast which was very good (albeit obviously all sugar). Service was excellent and it's a cute place. To be fair, our waitress recommended the Shrimp & Grits or the Eggs in Purgatory, but I went with The Mess so that's on me! Nonetheless, will keep coming back as I want to try more of the menu. Given it's always packed, I'm assuming I had an off experience?? read more

Stopped in for a few cocktails and food Saturday afternoon and had a lovely time. We were kinda early for dinner but way past the lunch crowd so it was kinda slow in there but still plenty of customers. Sat in the bar area and they had TVs w football games on which was a nice surprise. The service is super friendly, and the bartender whips up some creative cocktails! Highly recommend the 'honey I'm home' if you like gin. For food we ordered the Detroit style pizza and it was amazing. So crispy on the outside but not overdone, and toppings were plentiful including the pepperoni that formed a nice charred cup. Can't wait to come back! read more

I went for the lasagna and it was a great choice. Each layer had plenty of flavor and the cheese pull was seriously impressive. The meat sauce was hearty and just the right amount of salty and savory. I could tell it was baked fresh because it was hot and bubbly when it came out. The place itself felt cozy and family-friendly which I really liked. Staff was welcoming and our food didn't take long at all. Will definitely return when I'm craving comfort food. read more

Brewster New Buffalo was a cute place. we stopped here for lunch before our trip to the beach. We were lucky enough to get parking right outside of the door, which seems like it could be a challenge with the smaller parking lot. The wait was fairly short for our party six. The table was between, cute outdoor floral decor. It appears that they had more outdoor seating than indoor seating. The trainee that was with our server, name was Taylor, and she was super sweet! my salad came with their homemade balsamic vinaigrette, which was delicious! my daughter ordered a kids pizza and absolutely loved it read more

Restaurant had a nice ambiance. Very busy. The service was great. We loved the Alfredo sauce on the chicken Alfredo but the chicken was a little bland however it was very tender. The Roma was inedible as it had way too much garlic. I thought it was just me and brought it home and my daughter tried it and said the same thing. We ended up throwing it away. The lemon cream cake was delicious. The cake was a little dry but balanced perfectly with the Creme filling and it worked. It was very lite and hit the spot. My husband loved the raspberry glaze on the plate well. read more

Ambiance and service a 5 out 5 stars! The outside is full of plants and heaters and is adorable. I was with a group of 9 in the wine room which was very intimate and a lovely room to hear each other speak. Out waitress Brenna was fabulous and so attentive and friendly. Food we all felt was a bit plain. I personally had the Alfredo and would say it was more of a garlic cream sauce I added the cheese from the bread basket to give it some flavor. I had chicken with it and it was very plain, a couple girls also got the chicken and said it was bland. The ones who got the Caesar salad were disappointed in the size as it was a small bowl compared to those that ordered the steak or southwest salad it was a much larger for same price and far more included in those too. The couple apps we got were enjoyed. Overall for price and atmosphere expectations on food were much higher. read more

As a favorite restaurant when vacationing in the area, we dined at Brewster's twice on our last visit to New Buffalo. While the patio area is truly beautiful, we sat ourselves at the bar both times. For a late lunch, Emma took good care of us while we enjoyed a cocktail and appetizer then placed a carryout order for pizza and house salads. The Tuna & Watermelon starter was fresh and delightful. Our favorite pizza, the Sweet & Spicy, was also delicious. For breakfast, Mashawn provided great suggestions and great service. I enjoyed a delicious morning cocktail made with fresh squeezed OJ and we then shared a half order of Biscuits & Gravy (100% delicious!), an order of Hippie Hash (vegan menu item, fyi) with two over easy eggs added on top, an order of Berry Pancakes, and a side of sausage patties. We aren't typically in the New Buffalo area in the summer (we're more fall/winter visitors), so we were newbies to their seasonal breakfast offerings and so glad we tried it! Notes: On both visits, a 3.00% Convenience Fee was added to our bill. I'm not sure what that means, but ok. A line item for Kitchen Tip is always available on your credit card receipt, in addition to the usual server tip. read more

Food and service was good, though a bit pricey for meatballs and spaghetti, did not include a salad, which had to be ordered a La carte. What irked me is when the bill came, there was a 3% service charge. I understand that restaurants do this, if you are paying with a card, but I was paying with cash. what was the service charge for? My friends paid by card, also a 3% service charge and a spot for gratuity for both the server and the kitchen staff! Of course the server should receive a gratuity, but kitchen staff as well? That's a new one! Won't be back for this reason. read more

Great little nook in New Buffalo that hits the fancy spot! We arrived right before the dinner rush and got to sit outside. I love the ambiance. With the many plants and flowers around, it truly made me feel like I was in another country. Our service was also great. Our server knew a lot about the menu, and was prompt with refilling our drinks. Everything we ordered was really good. Simple dishes done right can go a long way. I really like the ribeye, it was cooked perfectly and had a little char. The pizza was extra toasty, just how I like it. What I enjoyed was the sauce and pepperonis. Wow! My husband and I each ordered a drink. His old fashion was on par and so was my lemon drop martini. We really liked this place and would be back for a date night sans the bambinos! read more
