Mr Brews Taphouse - Melbourne

First time visiting; overall the food was good. I saw another reviewer mention the fries looked good but had no flavor. I cannot disagree with that at all. Fries need salt/seasoning immediately after coming out of the fryer or it won't stick and the fry is just a potato stick lol. Same thing with the chips, they were good but had no salt. The Funnel fries are amazing! We really enjoyed those. My burger was on the smaller side but I suppose a place meant for people consuming beer, the portion is right. I cannot comment on any of the beer because I don't drink.The last thing I'll add is making the customer absorb the cost of doing business by charging them the credit card processing fees is not something I support. I get small businesses that want to encourage cash transactions but we live in a digital age and I never carry cash on me. I'd rather pay 50¢ more for my burger, 50¢ more for wings, or increased price of items before paying those fees.We will be back again but I'm not sure when because it's not around the corner for us.

A pleasant surprise to find this place. Very clean, neat, and well stocked pub. Great choices of beer on tap, too!!The food was good and filling.Rationally priced, great atmosphere as well as fun customers.

Server was polite and took our order.The order consisted of the American Cheeseburger with cheddar cheese and lettuce, my spouse ordered the nacho platter.The food came.Was quite disappointing to say the least. To pay 10.49 for a piece of meat on a bun with a thin slice of cheese and one piece of lettuce is such a rip off. No fries come with the burger that is a separate charge of 3.49. Who serves a burger with no side?? Mr. Brews does, my spouse didn’t say much about the nacho platter, I could tell the portion was small compared to other establishments . So of course it was gone. He did like it .But to spend 10.49 on a burger3.49 on French fries5.25 on a Heineken7.00 on a mixed drinkAn additional charge .50 for orange juice that makes thedrink good.NachosMostly a bunch of chips with meat little lettuce, some tomatoes, sour cream for 9.990We were not asked if we wanted a side, which i did want one. When the food came and there were no fries, I had to ask other fries and at that moment, she could’ve said there’s an extra charge for them But she did not. I’ll come the fries and then we get our bill and on the bill extra charge for the fries cost is not the issue is communication which there is none at this establishment.10.49 American Burger9.99 Nachoes7.00 Malibu coconut rum.50 splash of orange juice5.25. Heineken3.49. French friesTotaled: 36.71Tax 2.21CREDIT CARD FEE 1.03I normally would not complain about a cc fee but there needs to be communication tell the person there is a fee. Tell the patrons that come in that fries don’t come with this Cheeseburger.The trivia was fun the burger was about as tasty as checkers( which I haven’t be to one in 10 years) I know I could have gone anywhere else and had a better burger for less money that came with friesBottom line:Serve the fries or some side with all sandwichesI could have go to Burger KingAnd been more satisfied withMy burger than I was tonightWhy are you the owner charging your customers a credit card fee.Don’t tell me I know the reason you have to use it enough to pay for itself and you don’t bring enough business to do so. Just next time you have someone come in or when handing the bill explain the cc charger. It will reflect in your Tip.We are not obligated to tipYou however have to charge the fee for the cc machine. So better communications with servers will get you far.Bottom line:This was our second visit 1 was right after Mr Brews opened and 2nd and our last time was tonight.As we expected our food to of better quality.I honestly don’t know how Mr Brews businesses stay open when they don’t have many patrons coming in.Good luck with the new Management, as far as we can say New or Old Management the food is subpar.Hey the trivia was fun. We won’t back though!

Place out of their famous cheese curds. as well as califlower buffalo style and the first two beers I selected and this was on a Friday night of a weekend with 4 NFL playoff

Came here after a long day after reading that this place had a great selection of beers on tap.We were seated right away and our server Missy was kind and knowledgeable.What I didn’t like but I understand that it wasn’t the server’s fault was the fact that they didn’t not have that many beers in stock. So options were very limited. I was advised it was due to a change of management that caused the limited taps. My top picks were out and I was getting frustrated with it. Anyway I was able to get a Cigar City Maduro Brown and a tasty Hidden Springs Ale Orange Crush beer, which the server recommended. I gotta say the orange crush was what I needed to enjoy the night.Food was great, the poutine fries were unique and tasty but I felt that there was too much gravy on it. As for the sliders, they were cooked well and were delicious.
