   Food was just meh, 3 of us had burgers, 1 had the corned beef sandwich. None of us was blown away. Service was ok, not bad, but had to be reminded of what we ordered and what sides we had. Drinks were fine, tan beer and wine. Maybe we would come back for appetizers and drinks on the patio, but our burgers were overpriced for what they were. The restaurant inside is very plain, super casual. Not necessarily comfortable.

   We love your outdoor seating— noise level is much better than inside.

   Brook’s outdoor patio is a great spot. Enjoyed a tasty and relaxing meal on a lovely evening.

   The food was OK but their flexibility was abysmal. The dinner burger (8 Oz) gives you a choice of french fries and that's it. The lunch burger (4 oz) lets you choose between fries, house salad, kale salad, and soup. I asked the server if I ordered the dinner burger could I get the salad instead of fries and she said NO! I asked why, if I could do it for the lunch burger I couldn't do it for the dinner burger. She said, "Well, that's our policy." Stupid policy. Our group of 11 men won't be coming back.

   The food was outstanding. We had Salmon, Rosemary Chicken and Potatoes, Spicy Blackened Chicken Tortellini, and Kids Sliders. Presentation and taste wonderful. Portions ample and filling. Also had italian beef eggrolls and pretzel bites the appies were good but entre's amazing. Never been here before will be back for outdoor dining when it warms up more. Service was very warm, friendly, and attentive.

   Enjoyed the food and drinks. Would definitely go back but would probably not eat in the banquet room. Too many families and we were looking for a night out for adults only.

    Went for Easter. Had a 1:30 reservation. Was crowded at that time. Service was great, food was excellent. Spent more than planned but that was due to ordering 3 appetizers and several drinks. All of which were delicious! Will definitely go back.

    We had an excellent lunch at Brooks! Each dish was well prepared & tasty. Pretzel bites were served with two dipping sauces. The midnight pierogis were very unique and delicious. My husband had the bbq ribs which were as described…fall off the bone. The accompanying coleslaw was creamy & the roasted potatoes were excellent! Anthony was a great server! He answered all our questions & was very attentive to our requests. There are so many more items I’d like to try so we will definitely be back.

    Was happy to find this place on a busy Saturday night, as they were able to accommodate us. The menu was impressive, offering lots of great (and different) menu options. The service was fast…and responsive. There is nothing wrong with Brooks and I would both recommend it and return to try other things. It was just kind of…nondescript in decor, in personality…our waiter was nice, but not memorable. It was a GOOD experience…but not a great one.

    Have wanted to try Brooks Kitchen for awhile so with the pending snow we decided to stay close to home and thought it was a great time to give it a try. At first we weren’t impressed with the decor - it was very blah - we were hoping the food was going to make a better impression and it did!! Loved the Italian Beef egg rolls (could use a little more cheese and giardinieria), the prime rib sandwich was very good and so was the Short Rib Entree with polenta!! Will definitely go back again!

    Lively Saturday night with a Pork Shank special that was fabulous. Unfortunately, the shrimp tacos were less than spectacular. Taco’s were covered in too much pics de gallo and avocado sauce. The shrimp tacos need to be revamped so you can find the shrimp!! Otherwise the other menu items are recommended.
