Buddy Brewsters Ale House - Lakewood (NY)

5 /5 safe home: Came right before lunch restaurant was quiet. Service was prompt. Ordered from the gluten-free menu. We ordered a burger and steak tips. We were told that the food was cooked in a separate space in the kitchen to avoid contamination. The food was very good! Very impressed with their gluten-free menu and cooking style. We will be back!

1 /5 Daylin Fuller: Absolutely terrible. On all ends. After a long doordash shift I decided to give thier steak a try, requested medium rare, and they unfortunately gave me blue rare, I tried it and instantly started to feel ill. The waitress was kind enough to heat the steak up more for me but she took my fries with her, and now they were cold. Lack of any season on the steak, and for 37$ including a 3$ tip because everyone deserves a little even for a bad job, this wasnt worth it at all. Will never visit on my own behalf again, only doordash orders for now on. (You can see how pink it is, and how much of it i didnt finish in the picture.) Ended up getting food posioning afterward and had to go home early to rest canceling my shift for the day despite it being busy.

5 /5 Grenadeh (Grenadeh): I’ve been here twice and unintentionally had the same thing - I wanted to try the birria tacos to see how they hold up against buddy’s from Texas. They were out, no big deal. The all American burger is great. Just the right amount of crisp on the bun, pickles warmed just right, just the right amount of lettuce and the beef is cooked juicy and flavorful without even asking. I’ve had the fried pickles and firecracker shrimp too and both are great. The shrimp with a spicy Cajun seasoning and are served with a nice blackened ranch or something like that. Also the beer battered fries are great. Out waiter was great too - excellent service, very attentive and sociable. I hope to return.

3 /5 Gretchen Kleinfelder: The restaurant was nearly empty. Food presentation was nice but the food was not exceptional not worth returning for. My youngest got a kids meal and they gave 2 crayons - a Grey one and a brown one. She looked at the crayons and at the placemat and asked how she was supposed to color out draw with them. Our waitress was amazing, timely, courtesy and went above expectation.
