Brewster Street Icehouse Review

5pm Sunday visit. All you can eat crawfish from 12-4pm. I'm from Louisiana and craving crawfish. purchased 2lbs, they were boiled and that's IT, not SOAKED at all. I didnt purchase the all you can eat so dont give me the excuse you have a demand and couldn't keep up, so you serve mediocre unsoaked crawfish. so sad

We walked in 10 minutes before the kitchen closed on a Monday and asked if we were going to be "those people" with a grin. The guy in the kitchen said "I got your back" and he did. Food was awesome, chicken fried steak was tender and awesome. Fast as hell...I can't believe I'm saying it but the green beans are a must. Thanks guys...will be back!

Good was excellent, staff was friendly. Two things I didn't like. 1. Food is paid for separate from bar tab....so when. I headed over my card to open a tab there...they were not able to combine the tabs so it was a little awkward. 2. They knew we were first timers....and on the bar side they hit me with a credit card fee. It was only a dollar, no big deal....but I had the cash in my pocket to pay the tab and was not asked to do that or told about the fee. Again, no big deal, but at least now you know.

Fun, laid back atmosphere to get some drinks. Listen to some good live music or get a bite to eat.

Great place for big kids with little ones. The playground is great to let the little ones run around while enjoying an adult beverage or some great food.

Good music. Nice size venue. Good happy hour & awesome Sunday funday deals!

Service was okay, the acoustics are trash for concerts though.

All of my table received their food, except for the first person who ordered. When we asked multiple staff members, it took another 20 minutes to receive the salad we had ordered almost 20 minutes before that! Obviously there is a lack of some communication.

This is an authentic Corpus Christi Texas entertainment and dining facility.

Only gave it 1 star because 0 wasn't an option. they have waitresses but yet you cant order food with them, you have ti get up and order in a certain designtated area. I couldn't order what I wanted because they only serve it from 11am to 2pm. and the appetizer that I did order was almost $10 or an order of 4. Service was bad waitress took 30 min in between beer refills to come around and ask if we needed more. Never again.

Good times. Been here on the norm and also for a great venue. They handle it. Brewster street knows what they are doing.

Came in on a Sunday afternoon few weeks ago. Went one of the outside bars then decided to go inside and possibly order food. Walked in and Sat at the bar inside with the beer I already had and was asked...Yes? As if I interrupted by sitting or the female bartender didnt know how to say hi how are you? Or something inviting. Rude much?

Servers and cooks are not wearing masks and social distancing is not being enforced. I wanted to eat something that wasn't fried and saw the oysters and catfish combo, and saw it could be ordered in different ways. When I did order it, I recieved everything fried.

Brewster street is a great place for concerts and drinks. This location has an open outdoor area with a great breeze which helps with the Corpus humidity and heat. The staff is generally friendly. I have knocked off one star because the last time I visited they overcharged me $100. I fought the charge and they did the right thing. The bartender kept allowing others to place orders on my tab unsolicited. I think they were her friends, regardless the establishment did what is right. The Durrills have invested quite a bit in the local area and this business is great for south texas!

I travelled all the way from Houston to come and see a show here and was defintely not disappointed. We arrived early so we decided to eat there and despite it being packed service was very quick and friendly. Check in for the show went very smoothly as well. My only real complaint is the chairs they had set out, they were the plastic lawn chair type and just about broke my back, but otherwise an amazing show. The acoustics are quite good as well, especially for being an open outdoor venue. I would absolutely go back for another show here, it's a very cozy quirky venue.

Lovely inside dine inn and outside patio. Atmosphere is excellent by beach.

Not the best stage but they have live music regularly... sometimes, like tonight, they have good bands.

My husband and I are visiting Corpus and decided to give Brewster's a try. While the food and drinks were good, I'm very disappointed in the service and our overall experience. First, our crab leg boil came without silverware or a bucket to put our discard in. No employees were available to help, so we went without. Next, we brought our infant and when she became fussy, I asked if I could get a little bit of hot water to warm a bottle. The employee responded "uhm, not really... I mean we'd have to warm some water up". She did not offer or seem interested... so once again, we went without and rushed to finish our meal so we could leave quickly and get the baby fed. Lastly, I went to the bathroom to change a diaper. There were about 10 stalls total, every single one was empty except the large stall with the changing table. I waited for the stall to open up. TEN MINUTES LATER (no I'm not exaggerating), my daughter started to cry and an employee exited the stall, phone in hand. Very disappointing. I would not recommend this restaurant to a family with young children. We were looking forward to staying a bit and listening to the live band. However, this was not possible for us.

Drinks are way overpriced! I paid $12.50 for two shots of Fireball! I could've bought a whole bottle for that kind of price gouging! Buyer beware!

Nice place to hang out and listen to some music and good food too.

Nice casual family atmosphere. Live band. Headlining tonight is Robert Ray and Midnight Rodeo they are red hot and shooting up the charts quickly! Staff are very courteous.come here for fun

THAT IS A TOTALLY AWESOME PLACE TO GO CHECK OUT AWESOME FOOD AND POLITE WORKERS..AND MUSIC TOO...

This place pretty good with fast service. Atmosphere is great. I really enjoy their chicken wings.

Every table for shows says reserved on it! At least let some regular guests get a table.

Day time bartenders suck here. But after 3pm the good ones come in and they know how to make a michilada. Food is always good here.

Killer Queen was a great concerts. I just wasn't happy about having to stand the entire time.

Terrible Fish & Chips ... The little fish tasted flat ... Lots of breaded stuff... & we have had fish & chips across the whole USA ... Most disappointing...

Premier live music Hotspot. Full bar, restaurant and great staff.

Brewster street is pretty great for families and parties. Happy hour drinks are reasonably priced, there's a really nice play

Always a good time. Food is hot and delicious at a great price.

My wife and I had dinner at Brewsters yesterday evening around 7 PM. My wife's meal came with a deep fried large bug in the middle of the fried Okra.
I called the waitress and she said-"Oh my god- it is a bug" she took the plate and returned with a table stand with a new order number.
Now, the meal experience was a disaster. My food slowly got cold as I waited for her meal to be remade. (Table banner number 155).
My wife is choking on the thought of the bug and we left after half eating our meals.

Besides a deep fried bug, the hamburgers tasted like fried cardboard.

We will never return to Brewsters.

No mind you, the waitress nor any manager came back to the table to do any customer PR. Maybe give us a complementary drink or say they were sorry. Some thing.
We had paid at the register when ordering and we were stuck with a $26,00 bad meal.

After seeing such high reviews, we were looking forward to eating here. But it was just OK to us. Not wow, just ok. Maybe we ordered the wrong items, but we really weren t over the moon about it.

Tons of fun and an awesome music venue, probably the best in town. Always have great musicians playing. The food is pretty good and their frozen margaritas are pretty strong too! Bring your friends and sit at one of the tables with an order of chips and salsa and quest, or get up and two step with the crowd.

It's a good atmosphere but the waitresses take a while to get back to you.

Awesome food! Good music and drinks. Great place to eat, hang out and listen to music. Service was very attentive.

Cool outdoor atmosphere, good food. They had a couple pf guys doing a piano bar thing that night. They were decent, but some of the song selections could have been better.

There were too many people for the size of this venue. (attended a concert tonight) Lines for the restroom were ridiculously long and the crowd was very packed. But the sound quality & lights are really good. They were even screening the performance live on their outside televisions.

Food is great, atmosphere is loud but good with small children, because who cares about volume when its loud AF.

Very nice atmosphere, all the staff members were extremely friendly.

I was standing by the water fountain vaping when security said i had to clear the area so i went down to a picnic table in the playground so that way i could follow there rule and because of it they called the cops on me and was kicked out with no explanation from security of what i did wrong they told me i could no vape inside so i was outside vaping i have been helping the employees all night by moving the barrier when they come by and then putting it back after they have passed but yet when they told me to clear the area and put there hands on me i did i am a US ARMY VETERAN with PTSD all i asked is that they not put there hands on me but i was kicked out for being at a picnic table in the playground area which is out side so i can vape which is there policy but yet they kick me out and refuse to refund my money for the concert ticket i paid for

Good food with imited menu during COVID. Lot of people not bothering with masks.

Food was really bland not much flavor. The wings are terrible, but the atmosphere is pretty cool.

The food is great! They have a very helpful staff, and good music.

Not happy at all! Incompetent help, shitty food, and extremely poor customer service! DO NOT GO HERE

Love this place! Great atmosphere, excellent music!

Great food, awesome venue for bands, big with plenty of room and lots of alcohol

Awesome place! !Love that we can bring the kids here and they have something to do other than sitting at the table..great drinks and the bartenders are awesome at what they do. Awesome music and love the variety they offer. Definatly a place to have an awesome time!

Its clean, friendly staff, decent food at good prices; and there's always something going on.
