I'll be honest ..this place doesn't have much curb appeal but the food and service are excellent. I had driven by numerous times but the Wendy's drive thru vibe kept me from stopping until some friends said it's worth stopping for - and they were right. We can't wait to go back. read more

What can I say, Yelp steered me to this place and I loved it. Very busy, bustling even. Seated immediately at a tiny two top right in the thick of the dining room. Service was efficient but didn't linger to chat. Husband ordered a pancake combo with eggs and bacon, while I had the Rosemary's chicken crepe, prepared with buckwheat flour (+2 for gf) and a green salad side. Well, this may have been one of my favorite dishes of the entire two week vacation. Tender chicken, specialty mushrooms of great variety, rosemary, of course! I kept eating and eating. Husband's breakfast was good too, but this buckwheat crepe dish was special. Thanks Brothers! read more

All the food I have ordered here has been great, I make it a point to order something different each time I eat here. Both my daughters love the food here as well. The service is great and the ambience is just OK but the food makes up for whatever is lacking in ambience. read more

Brothers Café is located in an old fast food restaurant. The restaurant itself is clean and comfortable. The service was very good. The weight staff was very attentive and frequently asked if we needed refills of water or coffee. I had the steak salad for lunch and the blueberry milkshake. The milkshake was thick and creamy. They use fresh blueberries. Steak salad was very tasty. The steak was cooked perfectly to my order, medium rare. It was nicely seasoned. The salad itself was mixed greens. I'm not a great fan of mixed greens and salad was a perfect example of why. The greens were not in small bite-size pieces and where messy to eat. In addition to the greens, steak and tortilla strips. There were sharp, red onions, and soggy water chestnut. The water chestnut distracted from the salad. It did not seem fresh. I would strongly recommend to be omitted from the salad in the future. Dressing was nice and light. Thank you for the service and food. read more

Fast service a food order to table. Restaurant is pretty cold inside. Probably warms up as it gets to a popular dinner time. Two of us ordered duck burgers and I tried a bite of my friends. It's was seriously good! I would go back. I ordered a piccata dish with potatoes. I was underwhelmed. The piccata sauce tasted like white wine with a hint of lemon. It needs balance. The potatoes were not tasty. But I would go back and order that duck burger! read more

Decent experience but not the best place I would recommend you visit if you're looking for a good brunch in Santa Rosa When we first arrived, it felt like a pretty casual experience especially since they looked pretty busy. However, the service was pretty quick and we got our food only a few minutes after ordering. The ambiance was pretty chill and felt very welcoming with the music/energy of the servers. The food here is honestly not the best. Most of what we ordered lacked flavor and tasted very unseasoned. The tap water also had a very weird taste. Here are my food reviews: Avocado Crab Benedict (6/10) -- lacked flavor and was semi expensive for what you received. But very good serving size. Fun Guys Omelette (8/10) -- was a good combination of ingredients but also lacked good seasoning. Chicken Wings (6/10) lacked seasoning and tasted like defrosted/old. It also tasted very dry. read more

Came here for dinner last night but already want to go back again for breakfast! Attentive service, no need to wonder where's your waiter even though customers were steadily coming in throughout my visit. Upon scanning through the menu, I noticed they have bison and duck burgers. Rarely do I find a wide range of meat options which I found impressive. I went with the Philly Cheesesteak and fries. Brother's Cafe does not hold out on providing a sufficient amount of steak within my sandwich. Only downfall I found was that the fries were seasoned and I'm not sure if the menu mentions that. Their salads were pretty good as well. My Cesar salad came with tortilla strips which I liked but opted out of the tomatoes. I'm a really picky eater even at adult age. While enjoying dinner, I noticed a couple of car flying into the parking lot. I was wondering if they're really hungry and just wanted to come quickly come inside. Nope, they have a drive-through which I found impressive. I asked about it and they told me yes it's open & you could even call your meals in and pick them up through there. My eyes lit up 'cause I refuse to pay for those expensive delivery fees and increased menu items when I'm hungry, but I'd go through a drive-through where I could remain in my vehicle. So they sold me on that and I'll definitely will be back. read more

Ample parking, good attitude staff and we went by there because I hadn't eaten there since it changed hands and they have a Happy Hour specials during the week. We ordered the Guacamole and chips and street tacos and I had a beer while Mike had a strawberry margarita. The drinks were good and the guacamole was excellent and there was a good amount of meat on the street tacos! The staff came over to check on us a few times and they were overall a good happy group of people happy doing their jobs! Which is a thing post pandemic because you can't always say that!! read more

Here I am again, reviewing Huevos Rancheros. Paula and I had to file a small claim suit against the La Rose hotel for abuse of me, an autistic man. We were graced with server Brian, who had a Dodger hat on, so of course I told him about the time I saw Fernando Valenzuela's no-hitter, and then I told him about my obsession with the Mexican breakfast treat. While Paula filled up court paperwork, I enjoyed some of the best Huevos Rancheros I've had, and I've had thousands of them. He was kind and patient and put up with my weirdness. I even did some dancing, and instead of eating, we also treated this wonderful man who bought a homemade trike named "The Bitch". Brian came out to see it, and in my autistic way, I claimed it as my stuffies. Paula and I now have a new breakfast spot. Everybody was wonderful, and it was the kind of day that I needed - a lot of love. Thank you so much. read more

Okay what an unexpected fabulous Breakfast on our road trip. This spot has a drive through?!? We stopped for breakfast as we drove through one morning. Small cafe with friendly staff. Selling local art on the walls too! I love these joints. We tried the Dutch Baby ( takes a good 15 minutes, noted on the menu) and what a delightful eggy soufflé style Apple pancake ... crispy edges but fluffy and ......moist...:). Highly recommend this sweet treat, it's big and shareable! They have several short rib items on the menu ( they do it all B,L,D) we tried the short rib hash and opted to change the poached eggs to OM. The home made biscuit isn't your typical soft biscuit. This reminded me of grandmas southern flakey, shortbread type bread. You could taste the lard in this dense biscuit that was great with the strawberry jam. Pretty sure it's not " healthy" but it's another indulgence for cheat day! If you're about healthy options there are some nice salads on the menu too! I'd stop here again when I'm in the Santa Rosa area. 100% read more

First visit here and it hit the 5 stars on every aspect. Small seating area so we thought it would be a long wait on a Sunday mid-morning, but we were seated within a few minutes. During that time I was just watching how they kept this place clean, almost OCD watching on guy who went over 1 table 3 times ensuring it was clean. Food was DELICIOUS!!! I ate every single piece with flakes, and it was just perfect. My grandson got full and insisted on taking the remains home because it was that good. Staff very personable -and very keen on watching tables, filling drinks, etc. This will highly likely make my list of places I will return! Warning - it is loud but food and service is worth it. Bonus - two large screen TVs to watch Sunday football! read more

Great service and the amount of customers that show up shows how well they're doing. I wasn't thrilled with potatoes I had with my breakfast last week. They were obviously were pre-cooked then warmed up. Their steak seasoning is divine! read more

I like this place for its wide-ranging menu with lots of options. Love the French Dip. What I do not like is that the French fries NEVER come out crispy!!!! I usually forget to ask ahead for that and then I have to return my plate to the kitchen to have them go back in the fryer. Who likes limp fries and why can't they get this right? The other big minus is the glass of water they bring...giant plastic glasses with plastic straws. Wastes water and plastic which goes to landfill. This is California, let's show our respect for resources and the environment. A glass of water does not require a straw. read more

I really wanted to like this place. The place was very clean and I was impressed that the condiment bottles were filled and new. The waitstaff was very friendly and attentive. The food on the other was just alright. The marinated steak salad was not worth $20. The soy sauce marinated steak was decent but I couldn't get over having tortilla strips and water chestnut on my salad. I would be better with wonton wrapper strips as the salad seems to be Asian inspired. My boyfriend had the surf and turf pasta which he said was tasty but not worth $23 as the portion was too small for the price. Maybe the breakfast is better? read more

I like this place well enough. We went for a late Sunday brunch. My friend ordered the crab Benedict which looked amazing & I ordered the brisket hash no eggs with gluten free toast. The brisket flavor was spot on delicious but the potatoes weren't cooked. They were greasy on the outside, both mushy & quite firm in the middle. The single slice of half burned gluten free toast was $2. For $2 there should be 2 slices. I buy gf bread & it does not cost $2 a slice. If I didn't have to eat it I wouldn't. There was a busser who kept showing up & reaching across the table & our conversation to replenish various items. At one point he set his tray down & reached across twice. He did it about 3 times. I will try again. read more

Amazing food, nice people and service, and the atmosphere was great. I loved their breakfast burrito, as well as the green goddess drink. I thought the latter would taste bad, but it was very good and palatable while delivering no pulp! 10/10 read more

Great service, and delicious food. We had the mushroom hash and Huevos Rancheros. Both were excellent. I can't wait to go back.

The menu was pretty extensive so hard to decide. We ended up with lamb burger and duck burger...both with added goat cheese, grilled mushrooms and grilled onions. The patties for both burgers were thin and tightly packed which made the meat a bit more tough. Both were a little dry. I'm glad I ordered the extra goat cheese and grilled onions & mushrooms...added more moisture and flavor (and $$). Overall- just an ok burger. read more

I am a fan of the Hole in the Wall in Sebastopol, and have been going there for years, so when I saw the same owners had opened a new spot in Santa Rosa, I was really excited to try it. I was able to go recently, and have to say, I think they have outdone themselves! I think Brothers Cafe is even better! The remodel on the space is great - they have opened it up, and it feels more spacious and light. They also have kept the drive-through open - so it is possible to order in advance and pick up food to go! I had the chilaquiles, which were amazing! The chips, the salsa, and the fixin's made for one of the best chilaquiles I have ever had. My partner had the Wild Mushroom Omelette and loved it. The potatoes were awesome - toasty, crunchy, and creamy - I don't know how they make them so tasty! We also got a Dutch Baby (which is like a custard and a crepe, with fresh cinnamon and apple sauce) which was also spectacular. We mostly got that to go, knowing our portions would be big, but we managed to eat half of it before we left anyway. They maintain the typical awesome service, great food, and now a more convenient and comfortable location! The personalize and super-friendly service just make it even better! We are very excited to have them in Santa Rosa now - it's one of our favorite places for breakfast/brunch - but their sandwiches and entrees are also spectacular. For brunch, check out the hash - it's freshly made and amazing! Also, the burgers are outstanding. It's tough to go wrong here - they take a pretty common menu, and make it uncommonly good! If you haven't been - give them a try! read more

Blah, Blah, Blah. If you want food with simple ingredients and bland flavor and service, come here. Very disappointed in our service and food. It was just not good. Rushed to order and then when ready our service starts talking on his head set and walk away without saying anything... Just plain odd. The chilaquiles was the smallest I have ever seen, embarrassing small. I don't usually order that dish my husband does but I couldn't help but plain laugh at it, dinky as hell. We barely ate two bites, the person grabbing our food didn't ask if we wanted boxes or anything, they must be used to people not eating their full plates... Just plain weird. read more

Had a breakfast combo with French toast. Maybe I just ordered the wrong menu item? Was very surprised considering the other reviews. French toast is a very small portion and the syrup just tasted cheap. The country potatoes had no crispiness to them, and the eggs are just served plain. Was seated quickly and staff was over frequently, unfortunately added an item on the bill I didn't order. Cool seating arrangement inside and also a drive through? However it gets pretty incredibly loud inside the business especially as packed as it is. read more

Three of us visited Brothers Cafe for the first time on Monday. We all ordered crepes, so I can't speak to other items. My niece had the Fun Guy crepe with cauliflower soup and she said both were good. My husband had the Mardi Gras crepe with split pea and ham soup. I tried a bite of his crepe, we both liked it. He said the soup was very good. I had the chicken crepe and a side salad. The chicken and veggies inside the crepe were flavorful, but too oily for my tastes. All crepes were large servings. The salad was basic - greens and tomato chunks. Two servers waited on us, both very attentive. The place is clean, tidy, no specific theme. Next time we'll try a breakfast and a burger. It's worth a return trip. read more

Clean restaurant and amazing food!! Great service. Feels like a family run place. ..........

My boyfriend and I had lunch here on a Sunday and it was busy! The restaurant itself is simple with a lot of sunlight with nice Mexican music playing in the background.To my surprise we were sat immediately by one of the servers, who was very pleasant. The menu has a lot of different options,which I was impressed with. The prices were also reasonable. Except for the fresh squeezed oj, I was shocked to find out it was $8.50! I went with the chilaquiles and added steak for an up charge. My bf got a plain bacon cheeseburger. I was a bit nervous that our food was going to take a while to receive because it was a full restaurant. Our food arrived in 10 minutes which is impressive. The chilaquiles had a good taste to them, they were tasty. My only comment is the portion was a little smaller than I'm used to when eating chilaquiles. My bf enjoyed his burger but the fries do have some sort of Cajun seasoning that he wasn't crazy about, but that's a personal preference. One thing I liked about this restaurant was the amazing service, all of the staff is extremely friendly and they are constantly checking in with you. The dining room has a tv in the corner to watch something while you eat or wait. They also offer 3 different draft beers (modelo,modelo negro & henhouse). I will be coming back to try other items on the menu. When I walked out I noticed they also have a drive thru! From the looks of it , it is only a limited menu. Come support this local spot! read more

Good food and good service, don't need to say anything else. Additional characters to post.

They served me a toaster waffle in place of a freshly made waffle for Sunday breakfast. When I questioned the waiter, he said, "oh no, this is one we made. See the ridge around the edge that comes from the waffle iron." Of course I disagreed. I ate a few bites of it and knew it was a frozen commercial waffle with preservatives. I would not go there again because they lied to me. I would be "okay" if they had said "we are out of waffle batter" and suggested something else. Food is usually good here. read more

Well, I went back to try their Biscuits and Gravy for breakfast. I am a big fan of this as I lived in Oklahoma and Texas and had some great biscuits and gravy. The place is nice, clean and well-lit. The service is great and I was acknowledged when I entered and did not have to wait long to have someone help me and take my drink order. I ordered just the biscuits and gravy as that is a favorite of mine from my southern days. The dish was brought out quickly but did not look too appetizing. I know, it's biscuits and gravy how should it look? It appeared a little runny but not too bad as gravy goes. The biscuits were a little small and the tops were dry and almost crunchy but the gravy took care of that. The large chunks of sausage were hot as was the gravy. I have to say, it was OK. It wasn't great and it wasn't bad. If someone bought me another one, I would eat but I would not order it again. I can't put my finger on what it was but it was fairly bland. I put pepper on it but not salt, I am sure that would have helped but I figured the sausage added enough salt for me. I guess for me some larger biscuits and thicker gravy and maybe some salt and butter would have helped it out. Again, the service was great and I will return to try something else but it will be a little while. I figure a restaurant needs to figure out what works for that location and its customers to give them a fair shake. read more
