I've been to Brookside several times for Breakfast and to be fair know the owner. The owner/cook serves food which is the best around. Portions and quality are among the best I've had anywhere. Servers are pleasant and attentive and check on us often. I had the pancakes with crispy bacon on the side and it was crispy just like I like it! Maple syrup was delis not fake. I don't drink coffee but had a nice, hot chocolate. They have parking right in front and also a parking lot in back. There is some counter seating and comfortable table seating in the rest of the restaurant. I must say the rest room was very clean. You should really give Brookside a try if you want a great breakfast at a great price with great service.

Almost perfect breakfast! My picky husband loves their western omelet! Perfect flavor and fluffy texture! Excellent crispy home fries! My Beni is really good, but I only wish the use fresh Spinach instead frozen one. Service was easy, quick, and friendly. The place is also clean, bright, and very family-oriented! You won't regret if you decide to com

We ate at Brookside a lot during the pandemic - they had a tent in their driveway and we could reliably get a seat there. This was our first time inside and it was really cute! The inside is a pretty blue color. Really homey. We went here on Patriots day and that resulted in needing to try the Patriot waffle. And it was the star of the show. It smelled beautifully of Vanilla and was really a wonderful treat. We saw our waitress taking a picture of it before she served it to us which gave us a chuckle. We also got egg breakfasts that were fine. My husband didn't like the coffee, but I overall enjoyed the experience. The servers have always been really nice here. It's not like earth shattering, but it's a pleasant diner with decent food. There is a lot of easy street parking as well as a small lot in back. It's across from a public park if you want to walk off your breakfast afterward.

This place is very warm and friendly. The food is awesome but the service is the best. The girls are all very quick and do an amazing job when the place is packed on a Saturday morning. I have moved away, but will drive back into town to enjoy the homemade corn beef scrambled egg special with jalapeños.

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!
