    Heart to Heart Pancakes Platter. Berry Berry Bo Berry Pancakes Platter.
    Jared R.

    All the staff were very kind and fast. We came on a Saturday morning and it was pretty slow until about 9:30. So the earlier the better. I got the Heart To Heart pancakes, which I was hesitant about the whole grain batter but it was very very good! Mi novia got the Berry Berry Bo Berry pancakes and it was so good, the berries tasted amazing, as well as so fresh! The berries were all throughout the pancakes and they were served hot and stayed hot all whilst she was eating them. On top of that, the syrup came warm as well! The large cup of coffee that sold us on coming here didn't disappoint!

    was desperatly trying to find coffee and breakfast VERY late in the day. All the places where either closed, or about to close, or didn't have the kitchen open any longer for the day?? (IN MY DEFENSE - it was only 2pm) Of course like any good elite I took to Yelp to see if ANY place served breakfast after 2pm. (small mom and pop, NOT a chain) Much to my delight Brookside was open until 3pm. The question now is can i get there in time ? I hate to be THAT person but, I rolled in at 243 and they said come on in!! Full menu is still available. I felt bad about ordering as I am thinking they already cleaned up the kitchen - but they said come on in so I did. I got a breakfast meat lovers bowl and I got stuffed! Daughter gort chicken n waffles and said it was the best she has had! Large cup of refillable coffee was good as well. The atmosphere is a throw back to an old diner and that is fine with me. Not to pretentious just good food and good service. Add it to the Love List

    Welcome home.

    Good Sunday morning, everyone. Hope you're up, happy, rested up. It's brunch time, having lazily arisen to greet the sunshine. Wasn't moved by hunger to Brookside today. I just felt like getting out. I love, love, love local, local, local. I still remember this spot in other iterations of businesses. In the last few years It's been serving up smiles, kindness, and homemade food. Southern comfort favorites. I enjoy the fact they serve up the coffee in an adult size mug. Big big. No one who enjoys coffee wants a sip. We want to savor, to drink a big steaming cup of brew. They understand the assignment. I have yet to butter a slice of toast here that wasn't fresh or done as if it wasn't just as important as the entree. The devil is truly in the details. They don't have a constant stream of customers for no reason. They earn each and every customer, not just us regulars. Carpe the heck out of your deim folks. As always. Give. Nuff on that. Love your lived ones a lil extra, save a kiss for the one in the mirror. Peace.

    Another delicious brunch with great service! Today we enjoyed the migas with bacon added. It comes with fluffy eggs, onions, tomatoes, pickled jalapenos, tortilla strips, & cheese. It's served with three delicious homestyle flour tortillas and salsa. The Heart to Heart has eggs, protein of your choice, and big fluffy pancakes with bananas and walnuts. They have fresh whipped butter and serve the syrup warm. We'll be back!

    Local spot that hits every time. The service was fairly slow if I'm being honest... took a while to get our food but I know the waiter was by himself at the time. Pretty simple on the inside, clean and kept. Came here on a Monday morning and I guess it's the place for local regulars. The waiter seemed to know a lot of names as people came in. If it brings in regulars, you know it's good.

    a cup of coffee and menu

    A great diner experience - good food, good staff, huge coffee cups! Parking: There's tons of parking which is great! The restaurant itself is on the smaller size relative to parking. Seating: When we arrived they were pretty busy (noonish on a saturday). Despite the smaller size, the tables move quickly and there's flexible seating. We had a group of 5, but most tables are set for 4. There was no problem pulling a chair over (another group pushed 2 tables together). It's great how flexible and laid back the environment is to allow for that Food: I love that you can order breakfast or lunch anytime. We all got coffee and the coffee cups are huge which was extremely exciting (because we always drink tons of coffee at diners). The pumpkin pancakes were a special and definitely worth it! Breakfast plate was a solid choice. The chicken fried chicken was amazing- though the mashed potatoes were a bit cold and not soft. I wish I was able to give this a 4.5 but since there's no half stars I'll go with a 4. I do need to give a shout out to our server ! He was really awesome and had a great personality.

    Peanut butter cup pancakes
    Jon M.

    It's been a few days since came here, but forgot to post the review. They have interesting flavors of pancakes, so I decided to try one. I got the peanut butter cup pancake platter. Overall I was very pleased and was very sad when ate all but a couple of bites of the pancake and was too full to finish it off. They were really good, though very rich. The bacon and eggs were nothing special, but they were bacon and eggs, so didn't expect much lol. They have other flavors of pancakes, like Oreo and such, so I wouldn't object to trying this again. But I might just get the peanut butter cup one again... Very tasty

    If you want a delicious and affordable breakfast spot, this is the place to go. The inside is smaller with just a few tables, but we have never had to wait for a table. The service is always very fast and we haven't had to wait long for our food. The food is delicious, we have tried so many different menu items and they have all been good. Last time I was there, I had the berry berry boo berry pancakes. The pancakes were fluffy and they put just enough fruit in the pancakes. The bacon was also nice and crispy, and the eggs were fluffy. You also cannot beat the price of food here, most of the menu items are under $10.

    Hamburger Steak Plate
    Mandie Z.

    We tried this place for brunch today & it was pretty good. We were seated pretty fast. Our waitress was really sweet & the food was almost perfect. Javier & I both ordered coffee. They give you big huge cups of strong coffee so a lot of sugar & creamer were needed for us but it was good. X ordered a small apple juice & water. Javier (bf) ordered steak (well done) & eggs w/pancakes. He could not stop going on & on about it. I tasted his steak & being that it was well done I wasn't about it, but for him he loved it. X-(his daughter) ordered the peanut butter cup pancakes w/bacon & a side of hash browns. She said it was good but to sweet to finish so her dad finished it for her & brought his pancakes home for breakfast tomorrow morning LOL. I tasted hers & they were really good but I would have to agree with her. I ordered the hamburger steak lunch w/ corn & mashed potatoes. It was delicious. The only complaint was the potatoes were very very heavy on the pepper. I had Javier taste to make sure it wasn't just me & he said wow I think I'm going to sneeze. . Give it a try. The only other complaint my 2 brunch companions had was that it took a good 30-35 minutes for our food to come out. I think they were hangry. I didn't mind the wait because I was in good company but the other 2 repeated several times how long it was taking.

    So I bought a Groupon because I love breakfast but then I got worried because I saw mixed reviews however I don't know what y'all experienced but I am ready to go back! I took my little person with me on a Monday morning and we walked in and were told to sit anywhere we like. There was a sign at the door letting us know that they were short staffed so going in I knew what to expect. We got seated and Virginia took our order and I swear it didn't take long for our food to come out. The food was good, although my steak came out over cooked, Virginia offered to replace it for me, the grits were not my favorite but I'm a southern gal and I'm picky about my grits, we were given hot syrup for our pancakes and the pancakes were bigger than most places. When we got ready to leave we were asked if we would like a drink to go. The process of checking out was simple and have I told y'all already that the food was good? This is a hidden gem with daily specials, lots of options (check out all the different pancakes) and good food with affordable prices.

    Is there outdoor seating? I would love to take advantage of a cool morning/early afternoon and eat outdoors.

    There wasn't any outdoor seating.

    Does this restaurant have any vegan options, like vegan pancakes, waffles or French toast?

    Not that I remember

    Anyone know if they have some gluten free menu items? We have a couple family members with Celiac disease in our group.?

    Yes they do

    They didn't ask me how I wanted my burger cooked because they simply knew how to do it, and they…read morecooked it perfectly. I ordered the classic burger - so juicy, well seasoned, and plenty of meat. The grilled brioche bun was soft and buttery and the overall taste was fantastic. A perfectly well made burger served with their smashed baby potatoes. Look forward to trying more and the desserts. I appreciate that they use seasonal, high quality, and local ingredients. I came in very hungry, but could only eat half my food.

    This location has plenty of parking and decent seating on the inside. Decor is simple and sleek…read more Our server was really nice and attentive. This place leans more into the healthier eating and you can see the staff working right behind the open counter. Presentation for all of our food was good. We ordered Brussels sprouts to share. They felt a bit overcooked - more steamed and mushy vs. the stir-fried/air-fried Brussels that I enjoy. Didn't really have much flavor. Then I ordered the winter burger with potatoes. The burger was a decent size and the winter burger included a few apple slices on it. Sadly, the apple slices were the only things that gave this burger flavor since the burger patty itself lacked any seasoning. I enjoyed the baby potatoes but it, too, needed more salt. I ordered the olive oil cake to go for my husband. Again, good presentation but lacking in taste. It was closer to dry cornbread consistency rather than a moist cake (and I've made plenty of olive oil cakes before to know it can be moist!) Rating more for the service and ambience but would give it 2 stars for food. Overall, if I go back, I'll try something else like a salad or stick to the smoothies here.
