What a great find! I was looking for a place to have breakfast on the way to the airport. Lynn was a perfect midway point and I found Brothers Deli on Yelp. Very large inside with lots of tables. Different format, it's not table service. You grab a tray and go thru sort of a cafeteria type line. We came for breakfast and our food was made fresh while we waited. It was fun to see them prepping and cooking our meals. We definitely wanted to fill.ip.before our Long flight home. We both ordered eggs dishes with home fries along with an order of blueberry pancakes. I had Eggs Benedict. Ham had a nice smoked flavor and the eggs were runny as they should be! My husband had Srambled eggs with bacon, excellent. Those blueberry pancakes were so good!not sure what's in that batter but some if the best pancakes we have had! Staff was very friendly and helpful. We were a bit lost when we first walked in. Bookmarked for our next trip back to New England! read more

This place is truly a hidden gem! The freshness of the food makes it ten times better. They offer a wide variety of dishes, all of which look appetizing. I ordered the chicken dinner, and it was honestly the best piece of chicken I've had in a long time. The rice and mashed potatoes were excellent sides as well. The staff were very friendly and provided great suggestions since it was my first time there. Don't hesitate to stop by! read more

The best staff in the business. They feel like members of your family. The woman who runs the counter is the nicest person ever. I love the food too, simple , tasty and fairly priced. Lots of space and lively atmosphere. read more

My family, friends and I have been coming here for as long as I can remember. The establishment has always been under the same ownership and they pride themselves on their service and food. It's very much a local spot where everything is diner-vibe food including their breakfast, lunch, dinner and specials. Some of my favorites are their meatloaf dinners, breakfast sandwiches and more. Prices have certainly gone up over the years but no places have been immune to inflation. They are an old reliable place to come to for quick and comfortable service. read more

Various choices. Food is very good. People are kind. Not expensive and they will make what you want.

Remember that old reliable go-to diner you relied on for a quick deliverance from painful Sunday morning hangovers? You know; the one place where the staff never bats an eye at your pitiful, unsightly appearance and foul smell? Well, this reminds me of THAT kinda place. It might look a little rough on the edges, but so do you! I've been to Brothers several times when coming to Zimmans with my wife. Brothers is across the street in "The Agora;" a ubiquitous shopping strip in downtown Lynn. Yeah it's no frills but it's definitely kept very clean and it's spacious; so you won't have to worry about being too close & scaring other patrons away. But, you honestly don't give a shit anyway; you want some steaming-hot, home-cooked goodness in your belly STAT! AND,..Brothers won't let you down: FIRST, they greet you like you made a surprise visit home for Thanksgiving. SECOND? THEY HAVE AMERICAN FUCKING CHOP SUEY!!!!!!!!!!!! (it's awesome) They also have other delicious offerings including a New Jersey Dineresque selection of Daily Specials, and of course they serve breakfast all day. I haven't actually patronized Brothers with an official, epic hangover, but I'd vouch for em based on my prior experiences with most of my constitution in tact. read more

I ordered ham and two eggs with homemade fries, bacon and toast. It was unbelievable tasty and very friendly service at the front desk fair prices.

If hungry is what you are... And you want to fill the void with a heavy home-style meal whether it be a hearty breakfast or a meal like grandma use to make Brothers would be the place that fulfills your emptiness. Located in downtown Lynn for more years than I can remember, George and his crew have been on the money on every sandwich, salad, breakfast or dinner I've had. The food is not fancy and is served cafeteria style. You basically get in line like high school and grab a tray, your silverware and wait your turn to give your order from behind a counter . Everything is plated right in front of you. The salad bar is first, and they pile it high, next is the deli meats and grill and at the finish there are trays of dinners waiting to be viewed. Once you give your order it is usually a minute or two that's it, to plate your entire meal with chooses of sides, Then down the tray bars and a quick turn for your soups, breads, deserts and drinks. And finally to the girls who cash you out. Quick and easy!!! Once paid, you get to search out your perfect table as it is general seating here.. After you have enjoyed your meal, you just leave the dirty dishes etc on the table and they have a crew cleaning tables as fast as you get up... This is a very popular place for all the locals and people who work downtown. There are always police, firefighters, workmen of all kinds, executives, judges, and homeless there all day, like one large local gathering spot. The average breakfast is under $10. and the average dinners are about $12. No matter the order, you will leave full !! read more

This is an update... read the original for this to make any sense... This place is still great, just the things below have cost it a star. It is with great sadness that I deduct a star from this place. I was originally teetering between giving it four or five, and now the five becomes a four. So, why am I deducting a star? First, the fries now come in smaller portions, there is still a generous helping, and it cuts back on waste, but still, decreasing portion sizes are not a good indicator. Second, I've realized the french toast (as stated in last review) is not the greatest I've ever had. Third, the gyro tends to be inconsistent, (sometimes balance of ingredients is way off) and while I once had it with perfectly cooked lamb and pork, I once had it with beef - which was chunky and chewy (possibly undercooked) Fourth, Bacon is now cooked and stored in a container on the griddle (still fresh, but not hot off the griddle fresh) Finally, while I have never gotten sick, some cooks here cook without gloves. In a clean kitchen (which this is) I have no problems with cooks not wearing gloves. However, giving a handshake and then continuing cooking seems a bad idea (not knowing where the guy's hands have been) read more

My favorite place in Lynn. super close to the train station. It is a home style diner that i love. They have food displayed in large trays behind the counter and you can pick you plates. We got the lamb leg dinner plate with sides of corn and mashed potato. The lamb leg was cooked to perfection! super tender and juicy. Plus the owner is the sweetest soul on earth! He is super friendly and chatty. He learned that we came from Boston to see stars in Nahant and he ended up giving us lots of insights of where to go! Will definitely come back! read more

Stumbled into this joint recently on a whim, while stranded in Lynn with time to kill. Cafeteria style set up, but quite confusing on how things are priced and how to order. You basically tell them what you want and then someone rings you up on a seperate register. Ordered a Reuben and it was decent, but super sloppy. The place seems to cater to the senior community, judging by the amount of old timers that were enjoying meals inside. Would maybe try it again if I'm in the area, but there wasn't anything special about the experience. Kind people working here. No disrespect. read more

Fast friendly servers. The chefs cooked a good meal. I had the western club Sandwich it came with an order of home fries . My mom got a bagel with cream cheese. Both were delicious. The cashier brought it to the table for us. After dinner you just leave the paper plates there Tables are sorta spaced out. read more

Stopped here during a road trip for a quick lunch (during COVID). Everyone was so nice in here! It reminded me of a cafeteria almost where you could tell them exactly what you wanted and they cooked it right in front of you. We got BLTs and New England clam chowder and they were both delicious! read more

Last week, I had a very unfortunate encounter with a Corned Beef Sandwich at Persey's Place in Plymouth, where the menu actually challenged diners to compare their Corned Beef Sandwich with any other in the country.... Well, to make a long story short, after that insult to my taste buds, I couldn't stop thinking about the Corned Beef Sandwiches at Brother's Deli of Lynn, which had initially come to mind when presented with Persey's challenge. Brothers of Lynn is sort of an old fashioned cafeteria style restaurant. You enter the line, picking up a tray and silverware (unless you're getting to go), and move along through the cold and hot stations where attendants will serve whatever items you choose. The first station is the sandwich board, where you specify the details of sandwiches, salads and other short-order items. Besides the excellent Corned Beef, there are several specialty sandwiches (all are $5.75) with names like "Madison" and "Scollay Square" that add various ingredients in classic combinations that result in delicious sandwiches. Today, I chose the "New Yorker", which adds Coleslaw, Swiss Cheese, and Russian Dressing to a hefty portion of lean and tender Corned Beef. Of course, such a perfect sandwich comes with a perfect dill pickle. For an additional $2.75, I added a side of Potato Salad. It's actually a huge bowl of Potato Salad, and very delicious too. Not just dreary chunks of potato with too much mayonnaise, Brothers of Lynn's Potato Salad is a creamy mixture of potato chunks and mashed potatoes, seasoned with a tangy dressing that makes it very yummy. My bottom line comparison of the awful sandwich in Plymoth, was that if Brothers of Lynn's Corned Beef Sandwich rated four stars, that place didn't deserve even one. And today, my taste buds were indeed reassured that corned beef does not have to be dried up and horrible. So there, Persey. If you don't believe me, just try comparing your Corned Beef Sandwich to Brother's of Lynn..... please! read more

Best food period. Prices are reasonable but service is out of this world, they will treat you like family.

This place is the best hands down. I travel alot for work and come here everyday when I am in town Huge portions, GREAT staff and this place runs like a well oiled machine. Family atmosphere and really laid back. I bring my whole crew in at lunch and have no complaints from anyone just compliments on why we can't find a place like this back home. Will definitely be back and it's one of the first things I think about when tasked to travel to Lynn. Until next time Brothers..... dont forget my pickles read more

This place is amazing! Food is made in seconds, and a very fair price. Quality of food was great. A lot of breakfast places make their food far too heavy. I stopped here before the gym and was able to complete my whole workout (cardio included) after this meal. The portions are very generous too! But what really drew me in are the people that work here and own the shop. There was an elderly woman in front of me in line and the owner greeted her by name with her order in seconds (already had it memorized). The owner made friendly chatter with everyone - as did all the cooks. The owner felt like your sweetheart uncle that you never had. It was just a home-like feeling, it's hard to find places like that now. I definitely recommend. read more

Fun cafeteria style place-Staff is always super friendly and the restaurant is always clean:) it's never too long of a wait no matter how busy they are! I wish they had baked stuffed chicken more because it's so good but that's my only complaint but as everything they have is delicious. read more

I have no issues with the quality of the food at this restaurant, rather an issue with following serving guidelines during this covid-19 pandemic. On 2 occasions including today, I've noticed servers working the steam table service( this is a Greek diner cafeteria style) with their masks abound their necks not covering their faces while serving food. In fact the. Owner was guilty of that today. I choose not to patronize this restaurant any further as they choose not to follow established guidelines to keep the public safe from harm during this pandemic. I'm sorry to say this because I've been a loyal patron for many years but I find it unacceptable to act in such a reeckless manner. Prices have gone up and that is to be expected but not at the risk of my health and the well being of others. There are other establishments in the greater Lynn area to frequent if the management and ownership choose to be reckless and not follow established guidelines. read more

I have come to the conclusion that whenever a restaurant is called "Brothers," it is always owned by Greek or Greek-American guys, always is a cafeteria setup, and always, always serves humungous portions of filling, wholesome and tasty -- but not fancy -- food. The Brothers on Market St., Lynn, is no different. I eat there when I'm waiting for my vehicle to get serviced over at Goodyear, or taking a break from other downtown Lynn errands, and I try something different each time. The BBQ chicken is delish, and I wonder whether the leg is really from an ostrich or something, because I didn't think they could grow chickens that big to get a thigh/drumstick that huge. Stuffed peppers were a tad overcooked so the peppers were pale and a little mushy, which is how I always expect them at any Brothers deli/restaurant, in any town, but there are two to a serving, the filling can be cooked forever and will still be tasty (rice/hamburg/a touch of herbs and spices), the size is generous and the sauce is yummy. With a mound of mashed spuds and cooked, sliced carrots, it's a big meal and I took a styrofoam box of it home and got two more meals out of it. The desserts include Greek-style rice pudding that is creamy and not too sweet, and a selection of more humdrum stuff like Jell-o and commercially made cakes and pies. But so what. It's what you get in this sort of place, and it's fine. The coolest thing about the Brothers in Lynn is that it seems to be the lunchtime hub for the local businessmen and the politicians from City Hall nearby. They all work each other's tables, shaking hands or air-kissing, hobnobbing, talking shop. One time I was there, the owner of a local lumber store was meeting with an aide from the governer's committee on low-cost housing, and they were talking about planning a public-service project. Then a couple of local bigwigs stopped by to schmooze, and at another table, a bunch of high-power City-Hallers were laying out their next strategy. It was like Brother's was the Roman Forum...er.. Greek Forum? :) read more

This place is great. As I've said in other reviews, it's diner food, so don't come expecting amazing coffee, fancy bread, etc. But if diner food is what you're looking for (as I often am), this is a terrific place. Great selection of food (breakfast all day!), friendly, efficient staff, and a diverse clientele that makes me proud to be a Lynner. It's a classic. Note--cash only, but there's an ATM there. read more

It is a great place. Food is very tasty, portions big. Very friendly atmosphere. Randy is the best!

What can I say about this place but that it truly is a family place that everyone knows your name. The food is always fresh the people are always welcoming the staff is humble an generous. I am in here at least twice a week when I am in town if not more. They serve breakfast all day. I ate everything from a BLT to Pancakes to Pasta. I can not write about a specific dish because everything is all good. You come in not only for the great food you come in for the experience. You can be sitting eating rubbing elbows with the locals an chatting it up to talking to Robert Deniro an Adam Sandler it's just how the place is there is no way to explain it. So Happy Eating read more
