I’ve been to Brewsters many times and have never had a problem! Many options and the staff I’ve experienced have always been knowledgeable.

Did carry out and they suggested their GF Chicken Alfredo would be safest. Tested twice on my sensor and both times it said it contained gluten.

After reading all the reviews we decided to check out Brewster’s ... unfortunately my daughter (who has Celiac) was given regular pasta - instead of the GF pasta we ordered and then spent the entire evening throwing up. We had indeed stressed to our waiter that our daughter has Celiac and asked multiple times about safe practices, etc. unfortunately - she still received regular pasta. I called the restaurant that evening to let them know what happened ... I received a return call the next day and they stated they identified where the mixup occurred and assured me they have changed their practices. Not sure we’ll be able to go back.

Check the hours on their website before going. It seems to vary. Had a gluten free pizza which was amazing.

Food here is tasty but NOT celiac safe (but may be ok for intolerant). Celiac members got glutened despite attempts by kitchen to be safe (pizzas served on same wicker serving trays as regular pizza's).

My favorite place we ate at on our vacation to New Buffalo. Delicious pasta (one of the best GF pasta's I had) and great pizza. Plus delicious dessert. I love when I don't feel short changed by the GF options, and I certainly didn't here! Side note bonus: also, surprisingly kid friendly!

They understood my diet and I was able to eat here safely. I ate pasta. Not the best I ever had but it was fine. I was happy to have the option for sure! Oh and dessert too! Next time pizza!

Very tasty, nice, and relaxing place for lunch. I'm Celiac and had no problem with the GF pizza I ordered. Other options were GF pasta and salads. My husband had non-GF food and enjoyed it, too. We will return when we are in town again.

Have always loved this restaurant. Not as fantastic since it has switched hands, but still really delicious. They have GF pizza crust, pasta & a couple of GF dessert options. Staff is knowledgeable and even remembered to leave croutons off the salad when I had forgotten to mention! Great date place.
