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.

We ate breakfast so focused on omelettes and egg dishes.

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
