    Bros. 15hr Smoked Beef Brisket Mac-n-Cheesy Bowl
    Deanna C.

    Delicious, authentic barbecue spot in Reno! I was looking for a lunch spot while in town, and some friends recommended Brothers. We tried the plate with brisket, sausage , cold slaw, and corn bread, as well as the mac n cheese bowl with brisket. Both were amazing!!! The house made bbq sauce on the tables paired perfectly. We left incredibly full. Service was fine and inside had a good amount of seating. Will be back next time I'm in town!

    Totally cleared plate.....

    We had been meaning to come here for some time. Used my daughter's coming graduation as a reason for a meal out. We managed to catch a lull in their busy time, because right after we left we saw the groups coming in. We had help choosing what to order, because it all smelt and looked amazing. We each chose to order something slightly different from each other, but ate some off of each others plate. It all was super tasty. We chose to eat inside because of the heat and windy day, but could have easily seen eating outside otherwise. I would recommend if your looking for some tasty BBQ, come check them out.

    Very kind staff let me in a few mins before opening to enjoy the warmth! What a beautiful view!

    Good food, but a bit pricey. Ambiance is lovely and the workers are sweet. I would recommend the brisket and pulled pork. The beans are unfortunately not my fave, but still good for people that don't like the typical BBQ baked beans style.

    Some of the inside seating, about 20+.

    The business does not stand out on Center St. but worth finding the restaurant is worth it. Just the aroma when I walked in!

    I was searching for the best bbq in Reno and this was recommended. I ordered this on DoorDash and it came super quick it was a little under $50 for 1/2 rack of lamb, coleslaw, beans, corn and Mac&cheese. Coleslaw: super tasty, you can't really mess this up. Mac and cheese: very underseasoned, came cold. Beans: lacked seasoning as well. Corn: was just okay Rack of lamb: it was really tough. It wasn't tender to chew. I didn't really enjoy this experience.

    We were in the area and decided to eat here again. I ordered the shredded brisket sandwich with corn off the cob and my husband ordered the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and a side of cornbread. The service was amazing! Everyone was very friendly and our food came out quickly . My Brisket sandwich melted in my mouth. The brisket was so tender and full of flavor on a soft bun. The corn was delicious too. It tasted so fresh with a hint of butter! My husband loved his pulled pork sandwich and coleslaw. The meal was delicious, friendly staff, and a comfortable ambiance that made you feel like you're in Nevada!

    Brothers BBQ is absolutely fantastic! The service was excellent super friendly and fast. The BBQ was out of this world we had the pulled pork, chicken, sausage, and ribs, and everything was perfectly cooked and flavorful. The sides were just as impressive: creamy mac & cheese, delicious cornbread, hearty baked beans, and fresh coleslaw. You can tell they put care into every part of the meal. The atmosphere is great too there's a nice patio for outdoor seating and a cute western-style indoor area that adds charm. The parking lot is small, but there's usually street parking nearby. Definitely a must-try if you're a BBQ lover!

    On a short Reno trip. Very glad we stopped and ate. Nice people and great food. Friendly staff helped us order to our needs.

    Tri tip sandwich with barbecue beans
    Heidi M.

    Today my husband and I went to Brother's Barbecue for the first time and it was excellent! First, the appearance of the restaurant is colorful and cute. It is in a little Victorian home with indoor and patio dining. I loved the stone cactus on each table. I would like to actually make my own now! The employees were friendly and helpful. The food was amazing! We both had tri tip sandwiches with one side. I chose the picnic macaroni salad. My husband chose the barbecue beans. The meat was lean but moist and full of smoky flavor. The buns were not soggy. A real plus! The sauce was great so we bought the BBQ rub spice and a bootle of their sauce to take home. We will definitely be back and recommend it to others!!

    Family Pack Feast

    Five of us shared the family feast for $65. It was a lot of food. Why do they chop The brisket so small? I get mixed up with the pulled pork and the chopped brisket. Can they chop the brisket in bigger chunks? The pork ribs are smoked but I prefer fall off the bones. Kicked up slaw was very good! Mac and cheese was good too. The staff was wonderful. Always checking on us.

    Ribs, spicy sausage, cole slaw. and mac n cheese. Approximately 3 lbs of food.

    Don't blink or you will go right past Brothers BBQ. You order and pay at the counter and they will bring your food to your table I ordered a plate with 3 ribs, hot sausage, mac n cheese, and a glass of sweet tea. The side portions are huge, enough for 2 persons. The spicy sausage was the equivalent of 2 link sausages. The ribs were cooked to perfection with the meat falling off the bone. The spicy sausage was as advertised: spicy hot and delicious. I have never been a big fan of mac n cheese, but this one won me over. I loved Brothers mac n cheese. My other side was their standard cole slaw and it was an excellent choice as it cooled the spicy hot and balanced the fat from the pork ribs. The flavors and textures complemented each other so well it was such a pleasureable dining experience. My glass of sweet ice tea was Just the way I remember it from a few decades ago - it was strong and not overly sweet. The only thing missing was the absence of dessert. My dining experience reminded me of a cookout at an expert grilling friend's home on a holiday. Brothers BBQ has a homey touch, nothing fancy, Just a great technique that will make me go again for more. Service was very good, as were the staff in answering questions.

    Is the smoked turkey still a menu option?

    Yes, every Thursday.

    Where do you get your beef from?

    We get our Briskets and Tritip from a family operated regional distributor.

    Does anyone have any experience with them catering a wedding, for example? Looking for feedback on pricing, quality, etc. Thank you!

    In early July, Brothers catered our daughter's wedding for 100 people. I think everyone was happy with the food. Great taste and good value!

    The catfish Omg…read more Granted, catfish is not for everyone. But this, this was great! Perfect batter, perfect seasoning, crispy outer, fluffy, tender moist meat on the inside. Not a bone in one of them. Paired with the dirty rice side and a corn bread muffin, this was a meal I haven't had since I left Arkansa over 20 years ago. The catfish was great! The rest of our party was generally pleased. The fried potato wedges were really done nicely, and cold mashed potatoes were excellent. Oddly, must have been an off night, the brisket was chewy than gas station jerky. That's anomalous for this restaurant though, this was the second time I've been here, and it wasn't like that last time. I like the simple clean decor. Not gaudy, not overly done, clean and neat. The service is generally good! Oddly, each time we had a male server, there is a curt attitude to them. The female staff were great though. Polite, attentive and willing to help. One server assisted excellently with a language barrier and the menu. Thank you miss. All in all. Turning into a favorite BBQ place. Well try here one more time to see about consistency. Well worth the visit though Try the catfish

    I'm sorry to say this is not my favorite BBQ spot in town. My husband and I came in for lunch, and,…read morelike most Famous Dave's locations, it has a cute Western feel. We sat in a booth in the bar area. Our first mistake may have been skipping the $35 Feast for 2-sday special and ordering from the lunch menu instead. My husband chose the Texas beef brisket sandwich with BBQ chips, and I ordered the two meat combo with pulled pork, burnt ends, and coleslaw. There was only one server in the bar area, so it took a while for our food to arrive, but it did come out hot. As for the food, the pulled pork was tasty but didn't really have that smoked flavor. It reminded me more of something I could make in a slow cooker. The burnt ends were disappointing. I'm used to them being caramelized with a bit of a crust, but these were soft and even a little mushy. The coleslaw was good. My husband felt the same about his brisket. It lacked smokiness and was a bit too soft. The chips were tasty, but didn't have much BBQ seasoning. Although Famous Dave's is close to our house, we're willing to drive a little farther for better BBQ.

    A quality burger, there's a reason it keeps coming up for locals as the best burger in Reno…read more Be mindful, this isn't fast food. Before you go in, there is signs that says expect a 20 minute wait or more for a burger. If that is an issue for you, this isn't the spot for you. I've gone here a few times. The most recent time with my parents and aunt. I was a bit skeptical taking them to a dive bar for a burger since I wasn't sure how they would react to it. I didn't know until after the meal that they had a whole back section that would have been a lot better of an experience for them. They have a lot of tables and room back there whereas the front is either a bar, one table, or more a a lounge set up. There is also a outdoor area, but it had been a bit windy and sprinkling throughout the day so that isn't an option. I've done the Frenchified burger and the chile burger. Both times i opted for the fries over the chips and feel like I need to try the chips. Burger comes with two patties, a great bun, than the rest is up to you on which you choose. The fries are what I would consider shoe string fries, but maybe slightly thicker. I'm usually not a fan of shoestring fries, but I polished them off easily both times. My parents and aunt are harder to please. They like ingredients that speak for themselves and don't like too much sauces. All 3 of them really enjoyed it and I'm sure they will all be back. They have been looking for a good burger in Reno and I think this was it for them.
