Mr. X and I stopped by this place on the recommendation of a friend who lives in the area. What I thought would be a runaway hit came crashing to a halt fairly quickly. Don't you get tired, gentle reader, of going to new places (well, new to you) and just being nothing but disappointed? I do, especially after coming with a recommendation. The dining room is one of those of what I commonly refer to as a one-room uninspired cookie cutter arrangement of tables and chairs. It just doesn't do anything for you. The room is also so hard and loud you can barely hear each other talking. There are strings of LED Christmas lights hanging around the perimeter of the room that do that thing that all cheap LED lights do and that is that they strobe when you look at them. At the very least, if you HAD to have Christmas lights in your interior (a major design gaffe), couldn't you have at least used incandescent? Better yet, none at all of course. Why do amateurs keep insisting on throwing Christmas light strings up inside a room year 'round? The staff was very pleasant. I had no problem at all with the servers. I thought they were attentive and great to deal with. The problems are with the food and their portions. Mr X. and I both got the same meals. We had the tomato and sausage soup special as a starter, and then the pork loin special as an entree. The soup only came in one size, and it was really too small for the price of $7.00 and it tasted like thin pizza sauce with a few chunks of sausage in it. Not impressed. On to the entrees. When I think of pork loin, I think of a tube-shaped piece of meat infused with herbs - not so here. What we received was basically a very small pork chop that had been cut into slices (I can cut my own food, thanks) and spread apart to make it appear to be more food. It also didn't come with a salad or bread, and was severely overpriced at $25.00. We asked for potato chips and were handed a lunch bag of Utz. I was starving, and had the entire entree eaten up in about 8 bites. We were both really disappointed. $50.00 for two entrees and we were still hungry. The food isn't that special, nor is there enough of it to merit that outrageous price. We both felt ripped off (see my review of "Charleston", which evoked a similar feeling). Our bill came to some $75.00 for lunch for 2 with no alcohol- way too much for what we got. With small portions, high prices, leaving hungry, and little in the way of any kind of atmosphere, I don't feel that we will return. We went to the McDonalds across the street immediately after and got us a couple Quarter Pounders. read more

we ate at Brookside recently and we're fairly satisfied with the food. we did notice that the portions were small and that they ADD a 5% takeout fee and a 10% fee just for using their facility. they told me to offset the charges of a credit card, etc. what a bunch of hogwash. these people are bilking the public and a extremely greed. my blt use to have a lot of bacon, now just 3 meager slices of bacon. before it had5-6 slices. they raised the prices and cut the portions. we will not here again. they use to be a decent place to eat but not anymore. read more

We like the food the best in the area however, they can never get the order right. Almost every time something is not right. the most recent time they forgot an order of fries and put mayonnaise on the sub which was not to have mayonnaise. We didn't have time to go back to get a new one, so the sub with mayonnaise was basically garbage. Jimmy's just opened and my first order was 100% correct. I'm just saying and I'm only trying to help Brookside. read more

Ordered. Then food was ready 6 minutes later. I guess the pre cooked hockey puck is my medium burger. Thanks guys. I know kooperd is gone but this is just crap. And maybe teach your front staff some manners. Shit hole... 3times in a row of the same. Guess you guys are going back to the one star service of a few years ago. We're done! read more

Brookside Market - This is my medium burger somehow finished as we ordered. Thanks for The leather. Expensive dog food!! Standards are clearly shit!! - Caterers Near Me - Phoenix, Maryland

If I could give this place zero stars I would. They are extremely over priced, the food, for what your paying for is disgusting, and the people that work there are absolutely obnoxious. (Especially the guys). I have been more then 5 times and never once had a good experience. Save your money and time and don't come here. read more

It is sooo inviting. Loved the wine selection and the food was amazing. Will go back for sure read more

Our first time going there and had bad experience with takeout. Ordered a sandwich and salad which took 40 minutes. When we got home to eat, my wife's salad seemed like it was from the bottom of the bin and my sandwich was not good. Contacted the restaurant explaining my experience - which I rarely ever do - and I was told to go someplace else! Unlikely that I will be going back with that type of response and will share my experience with others! read more

Ordered for carry out and loved it! My husband and I recently heard about this place and ordered an Italian sub as well as the Luca pizza. The subs were delicious; the bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Although I really enjoyed the pizza, my friends and husband didn't like it compared to others. I, however, thought it was great because it was handmade and the crust is thin and crunchy. You can order online which I loved! Can't wait to try more food from Brookside Market read more

Have recently started going to Brookside Market and have never been disappointed by their amazing food. Got take out tonight and as always the customer service was outstanding. I will continue to return and I highly recommend others to go as well. read more

Great food! Good salad portions - actually filling! As a vegetarian I really appreciate it!

My husband and I recently moved to the area and one of our favorite places to eat is Brookside Market. It's one of the few places that he can get a really good deli sandwich/sub and I can get a really good hot meal, like a crab cake! We have very different tastes so it's awesome to have it all in one place. We had a party a few weeks ago and decided to use Brookside Market for our catering. Within minutes of filling out the online form, we were contacted by one of their staff members! They were extremely helpful as we were making our selections for catering. The entire process was very smooth, from ordering, to payment, to scheduling pick up. To top it all off, our guests raves about the food. We ordered a bunch of sandwiches. There was a variety of kinds. They were all eaten or taken home by guests for later! We also got Caesar salads and penne vodka. The penna vodka was delicious. Not a single bit of food was wasted at this party! I would definitely recommend using Brookside market for catering, or stop in for a meal! read more

Excellent food and service! The portions are more than generous, but the nachos, the nachos were enormous!!! So clean and fresh, can't wait to go back already. read more

Food is amazing. What a great find. Having the pot pie and it is seriously enough for 2 meals. Great service. Very cool atmosphere. Will definitely make this a regular dinner spot. Not sure how the earlier review said portions were small. read more

In the past I have had decent food there. Today I had the worst Reuben I've ever had in my life thru most of it out. Meat was tough and fatty cheese wasn't even melted. Disgusting I won't be back for a while read more

Third review. I have really loved how they have grown. Service is perfect. Food is just delicious. Anything with salmon is amazing. I'm very glad they became part of this community. read more

Just moved up to the Jacksonville area and I have fallen in love with Brookside Market. I've been here several times now and everything is absolutely delicious!!! Fresh sandwiches, amazing wings and tons of beverages to choose from. The staff, waiters and waitresses are all very kind. Everything is always clean and orderly. Lunch time is usually very busy but the wait time is not long at all! I look forward to continue to come here for yummy food!! Today I got a bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich to go.. so yummy! read more

With limited options in the Jacksonville, MD area we thought we'd get some good quality Italian food from Brookside for takeout last Friday night. We utilized their online ordering app. Received a text that order would be ready at 6:45pm. Our 2 items, a salad and one entre, were not ready until 7:15pm. In addition we ordered dessert from the case. Making 2 cannolis took 15 minutes as everyone tended to other duties behind the counter. This was an awful experience after a long workweek. My $18 entre didn't come with any bread? Would not recomend. Save your money and order from Strapasta!!!! This place is overpriced and the service is less than acceptable for what you get. read more

We meet our sons girlfriends parents for dinner on a salad nigh for dinner. The restaurant at first glance was modern and clean but as we sat down we realized that the open Concepts with high ceilings made the room very loud and hard for a table of 7 to hear each other. I ordered the black and blue salad which was good but the vinaigrette dressing had no flavor. A person in our party order the power house salad and she said the same thing about the dressing. My husband ordered the shrimp salad, he said it was tasteless, my son ordered the Reuben and he said it was excellent my other son had the veggie pizza and he said it was also good. I may give it another shot, I thought it was a bit on the pricey side as well. read more

Good food but do not take masks seriously. I myself do not like masks but apparently I must wear mine and the staff does not.

Will not support this business. The food is nothing special but the attitude is nothing to desire for. Staff including the chef wear masks under the nose but wanted to enforce mask on a customer. No thanks. Tyranny does not taste good. read more

This place is poop, i cant believe that i had to eat here. I ordered an order of a chicken ceaser wrap and these bummy teenagers in the back(looked like 13 year old's) took over 40 minutes to prepare it for me and it was cold. HOW IS IT COLD AFTER 40 MINUTES? read more

I can only speak to the takeout, but we stopped in to grab some sandwiches and a kids meal and were so pleasantly surprised. They offer a nice array of foods and the store/restaurant itself was super clean and sleek. The Italian cold cut was one of the best cold cuts we have ever enjoyed, and we have sampled some of the best in Providence/Boston etc. The blackened chicken Caesar wrap was super flavorful and filling. The biggest surprise was our kids meal though--kids chicken tenders and fries tend to be a sad affair. Not here. The fries were super crunchy and delicious, as were the chicken tenders--id totally enjoy this meal myself. read more

Highly recommend this cute little spot. The staff was super friendly (and abiding by COVID-19 safety rules) and the sangria was an amazing treat! read more

The good - The food is usually very good and high quality in my experience. We've been in there a handful of times. The bad - It's extremely expensive. I'm certainly willing to pay for a quality meal, but when you pay $15-$20 for some of the sandwiches and they don't even come with fries or chips, that's kind of crazy. The pizza's are really expensive for "personal size." I think they have a lot of potential if they can address some of the issues, but folks are more apt to continue visiting places that fit within family budgets and this place is a once in a while kind of place as the menu sits now. read more

.Stopped for brunch with my grandmother and wasn't very impressed. Her burger arrived looking small-ish, with nothing else on the plate. The pizza was delicious, but an indulgence for $13 - not something I'd get on a regular basis. Fries were $9 for barely more than a cupful. Ditto with the crab soup, which amounted to about six tablespoons. With soda, a glass of wine and one other small sandwich, our bill came to $60 and we were hungry an hour later. The eateries that have failed in this neighborhood are those that overestimate its affluence and underestimate its farming roots. Labeling something "artisan" can't always justify high prices. I'll stick to Sunshine Grille. read more

Happy Mother's Day" great food and authentic cappuccino made with Lavazza coffee.very cute place ,simply decorate,they have an affordable wine wall and good selection,parking right in front,Worth to tray for lunch ,dinner or carry out, read more

Great food. Plenty of parking. Both inside and outside areas to eat. The white pizza was delicious!!

Went the carry out route the first time. The American club was huge. My wife got at least 3 meals out of it. I got a Reuben. Pretty lackluster. The bread was toasted, not grilled. Sauerkraut was bland as was the Swiss and dressing. I'm a Reuben lover and this one was the worst I've ever had. Would have liked to have a pickle slice with the sandwiches too. read more

I wanted to like this place but... no go! It is over priced. I have eaten in and taken out. The food was alright when eating in but the service is completely lacking. (Which is funny because when you pay at the register the credit card screen asks what you would like to tip) Asked for a glass of water which never came and finally I got up and asked at the register. Asked for a box, it never came. Guess since the tip is added when the order is placed, no one seems to offer service. When we got take out I was stunned at the price but when we got it home I was speechless at the small portions. I REALLY want to like Brookside Market but they need to tweak the service and pricing before I go back. read more

I order a pick up order and when I arrived most employees were wearing their masks haphazardly. The cooks mask was under his nose. The check out employees masks were dissolved too. This was really disappointing & shocking as I really enjoy this restaurant. Needless to say, I will not be back! read more

So, as promised in my last review, I tried the Chicken Pot Pie and-WOW- is it a showstopper! Don't order this dish unless you want everyone to "ooh and ah" when they bring it to the table. I have 2 (minor) suggestions for this dish: lighten the gravy a bit-it was a touch too thick and somehow (maybe not possible???) cook it so that the underside of the puff pastry is thoroughly done-it was a tad doughy. But these do not take away from the fact that this was a delicious and generously bodacious entrée! Another suggestion: please don't use spray bottles to clean tables while people are eating. There is nothing worse than trying to enjoy a great meal and have the smell (and taste) of a scented cleaning product wafting up your nose. Finally to Chris R: your photos are beautiful but if you could label them it would be helpful. I'd like to try some but can't figure out from the pictures what to order... read more

1st time to this spot and definitely not the last. We scheduled a family get together with the In law/ siblings ans spouses as we are out of town for business and typically return every month for short family visits but due to pandemic have not travelled since Feb. They have set up a picnic area outback which served a great purpose. Hopefully they will be able to continue this seating afterwards as it was a very nice setting. The food to say the least was incredible is totally and under sell and under statement. Everything was very fresh and the portions for the prize are well worth the 27 mile drive that we ventured to visit. Is actually a beautiful country ride from any direction Looking forward to coming back next time in town or for any special event. The staff was also very friendly and truly accommodating in all requests and even bring your food outside to you when ready. See you soon. read more

I stopped in for a sandwich and noticed that they had Margherita pizza on the menu. I had not had a really good margherita pizza since I was in Rome. So I gave it a try. BEST Margherita Pizza that I have ever had. It's made from scratch and the ingredients include the best sauce, best cheese and the finest oils. The flavor was as good or better than I had in Italy. (Can't wait til I get it again.) Chuck B. read more

Three of us had dinner there recently. Although there were many other options, we just couldn't resist the chicken pot pie. It turned out to be a GREAT choice, although one of us thought hers was a little too dry for her liking. We were all very happy with our choice. Two of us ordered beer and I order their house merlot which was very good. However, when the bill came I was shock to see the HOUSE wine was $10 a glass. I would go there more often if I could afford to relax, enjoy my dinner and a few glasses of wine without emptying my wallet. read more

My husband and I ordered the burger, the true Italian and grilled Caesar salad as carry-out on a Friday night. Hands-down best meal we have ordered in a long time. Fine-dining quality, served in generous portions, and reasonably priced. We had left overs for the next day! I highly recommend! read more

3.5 stars.. The area needed a non-chain restaurant that serves good food. I think they have a lot of potential and want to see them succeed. The atmosphere is cozy.. modern- farm house-ish?? The menu selections are pretty diverse and we were hopeful. The sandwiches= crunchy warm bread drizzled with olive oil and cheese? Quite an interesting touch, but needed more meat filling. The fries were really delicious too. Now, my issue is with their pizza. It's an authentic pizza oven made with parts from Naples and assembled by people from Naples. But, the execution of the pizza was lacking. I guess it's ok that it's an oval and not a circle... but the though was not airy.. it was chewy and I don't think the oven was cooking at a high enough temperature. The sauce needed a little bit of salt and overall it was pretty bad. I hope we just caught them on an off day as I hope to return and give it another try. read more

Good food but very unprofessional staff. Several of the employees not wearing masks and the manager yelled at us and forced us to leave when we asked why they weren't wearing masks. Yikes. read more

Brookside was great until they blatantly screwed me and other regular customers. My wife and I loved their pizza, until now. We always bought a 16" shrimp and garlic pizza. However, last night the pizza was only 10" and garlic powder was used in place of real garlic. They even used a large pizza box. I was shocked when I opened the large pizza box when I got home and saw a personal size pizza. The pizza changed but the price was the same. I called and the manager who lied and said their pizzas are small but the box manufacturer could only send them large boxes. I know small businesses are struggling, which is why I support them. That is becoming harder and harder when businesses like Brookside screw you over without warning and then lie about it to your face. I did suggest advertising their new pizza sizes and ingredient changes on their website and menus. I'm sure that will not happen. read more

Came here for lunch and got the charcuterie board, grilled Cesar, and the Nino Mangione. All 3 items were excellent! The meat was so fresh! Definitely will be back in the future read more
