This place is amazing! We had Pretzel city cheddar, PB&J burger and sweet potatoes tots. The ingredients were fresh, the meat was juicy and the overall taste exceeded my expectation! scrumptious! This is definitely one of the top 10 delicious burger places on the planet.

This is by far the best burger spot I have ever been to everything we ordered was 100/10 of deliciousness. The team was very friendly and hospitable too, so it was overall a great experience. I can’t wait to go back and try more burgers

First time here, and we drove almost 70 miles to get here. We heard great things about the food. When we arrived it was 3:45pm. There were only 4 people inside and we got seated fast. I ordered the PCFD burger. I seen a picture posted about it having ghost pepper sauce which i was REALLY looking forward to. I was told they didnt have the Ghost Pepper sauce unfortunately, but i brought my buddies BLAZZIN seasoning with to spice it up. The burger was fantastic. My wife ordered the Pretzel City Cheese bruger. She enjoyed it. We got an order of the Sweet Potato Tots. I liked them as did my wife. My father in law ordered the Tenderloin with hand cut fries. He loved the tenderloin and said and i quote…..”IT’S DAMN GOOD” Now my only complaint was how long it took to get our food. If it had been swamped, i could have completely understood. From the time we ordered until the food arrived was over 40 minutes. I will definitely eat there again and hope our experience with quicker service improves.

Went there for fish on Friday night was disappointed. Fish was not hot, baked and deep fried. Waitress was great. Place was not busy. Pricey. Appetizer was not hot, coleslaw was room temperature. We’ll not come back for those reasons.

Excellent food, great service, good beer selection. The beef is fresh, cooked just the way you want, the fries are good skin-on fries (could be crispier in my opinion, but very tasty). The only minor complaint is the blue cheese wasn’t very blue cheesy. It was bland, actually. Take this into consideration: The restaurant is loud. There are no soft surfaces or anything to baffle sound. Too many pictures of cows. I don’t like what I am eating looking back at me. Other than that, awesome!

I am from Florida and visited Route No. 73 Brew and Chew with my family. Every time I visit my family, we make a point to go to this fabulous burger restaurant! I had the butter burger and have to say that burger was the BEST butter burger I have ever had!! The flavor of the beef, garlic alioli, cheese, onion, and buttered bun blended together to create a fabulous tasting surprise for the taste buds! Service was absolutely fabulous, Sam was attentive, friendly, and fast, Geri made the best drinks! Place is really cute! Overall great experience, the place to go for a great burger and drinks!!!

This is the best place to get a burger and fries that I know of. If you haven’t been here, you must come try it. My favorite is the wildcat burger with fries, and don’t forget to cheesify. If you’re up for an appetizer, you must try the onion rings, or you can get them as a side with a burger.

Wow, the burgers!! My fiance and I split the Reaper and the Chew burgers. Both were outstanding, absolutely awesome. The wings were really good too (we got the bourbon sauce). We really liked the setting, the bar was nice, the bartender was really friendly. Go out if your way to come here, it’s worth it!!
