| - Brewsters is a bit of Calgary gem. I realize they are in a few cities, but they're still a family run business that is nowhere near being chain restaurant status. Certainly the menu can be hit or miss, but I find the majority of the time the food is excellent.
On this most recent trip we got the Memphis Spring Rolls ($6.99), Bavarian Pretzels ($5.99), Butter Chicken ($17.99), and gumbo with house salad ($13.99). Appetizers were half of that day so we decided to get two.
Spring rolls and pretzels were both great, however I think I preferred the pretzels. The dough is amazing and the mustard dip is great. I probably wouldn't get spring rolls as my first pick, although they were tasty.
Gumbo and salad is always good, not much else to say there. My wife lived in the southern US for a few years and said the gumbo is fairly legitimate. Butter chicken was fantastic and was enough for two meals. It comes with the butter chicken, jasmine rice, and four slices of naan. The flavours when mixed all together are great. Super delicious.
The service can be poor at times, but this time we were served by a girl named Kaitlyn and she was excellent. When we asked for containers for the left over dips, she instead brought us two containers filled with dip and didn't charge extra. Really impressed with her service.
