Great servers and food. Been going there for years
Excellent staff reasonable Price's homemade cornbeef is the bomb
The service was amazing. The environment is very hospitable and the wait staff genuinely care for their customers. Friendships soon form with wait staff after only a few visits. There is no better place to go than Brookside. The hours are amazing and they treat their staff so well.
Small town cafe that behaves like it's the only real food in a zone of chain-style fast food places. Simple and old-fashioned decor, comfortable chairs, in a small building hidden behind trees on a side street. Nice, friendly service. Large portions and good variety of American classics. We ate breakfast so focused on omelettes and egg dishes.
Great food! Great service!! Stopped by for a business meeting, street parking was easy and close by. Great breakfast!
Wow! Just wow! Everything about this place is incredible, from the beautiful decor to the friendly staff, I felt like I was just back at home in my mom’s kitchen! My busboy, “b-dog” was super helpful! He definitely deserves a promotion, we saw him hard at work the whole time! 5/5 stars, will come again!
Great food at reasonable prices. The portion sizes are very generous. We got the western sandwich, which is your classic ham, onion, cheese, and peppers. They call it a sandwich, but it looked more like an omelet on a bagel. In fact, the picture I took you can't even see the bottom bagel. We also got the Mike's corn beef and hash with scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, and an english muffin grilled (it has to be grilled!). The corn beef is fresh. You can tell it's not corn beef and hash from a can, so it's really filling. Needless to say, we're unable to finish either one of the meals and will definitely be back again!
This place is great! Staff is friendly and welcoming and the customer service is great. I've only had breakfast here and I was very happy and with my meal. I got the North Ender, Sweet Italian sausages, peppers, onions, and provolone cheese, hash browns and English muffin griddled. The sweet sausage was delicious and the the provolone cheese pull was ridiculous it was great! Will be back definitely!
Great food, reasonably priced, been going here for years when visiting the in-laws. Service was fast and friendly, and very helpful when it came to figuring out a good meal for my son w/ multiple food allergies. He had chicken rice soup w/ a (modified) 1/2 turkey club and loved it
Great local cafe / diner like old times. Food excellent, varied menu- serving all 3 meals( check nights open for dinner). Staff very friendly + accommodating. You can tell they like their jobs.
