We stopped in at Brookside Bar and Grill on a whim on the way through the area heading home, and we are so happy we stopped. This off the beaten road bar/restaurant is sitting quite far back from the road and would be difficult to find if you weren't looking for it. Marissa at the bar is absolutely wonderful. She greets everybody as they walk in with a warm smile and you immediately feel like a friend. The entire menu sounded really good so it was a difficult decision but we decided on the fish and chips meal and the chicken and broccoli alfredo. Both meals were very large and satisfying for the very reasonable price. For two meals we only spent $35. The fish and chips were slightly greasy, but it's a fried meal so that was expected. He fish, we believe it was cod, was nicely cooked, not as greasy as it looked, seasoned perfectly and flaked apart easily. The coleslaw that came with it was very tasty and not overly saturated with sauce which was good. The fries looked like they were going to be bland but actually had quite a bit of flavor. The chicken and broccoli alfredo was a large plate of food. The pasta (penne) was slightly overcooked and limp but it didn't detract from the fantastic flavor of the alfredo. Alfredo can be oily or under seasoned very easily, but this alfredo is perfectly seasoned, you can tell it is made in house. The chicken was beautifully cooked, fully cooked but still juicy and flavorful, and the broccoli was treated very gently so it still has a crisp edge to it but it was fully soaked in alfredo goodness. Now, the meals are really good but the chicken alfredo meal came with a cup of soup. I chose the seafood chowder and I regret nothing. This was one of the best soups I have had in years. There were so many incredible layers of flavor in that cup of soup, I could easily devour an entire cauldron of that soup and still want more. We highly recommend visiting Brookside. It is a great place to watch the game or bring your entire family for dinner. Chef is very talented and clearly has a taste for seasoning the food so you really cant go wrong with the meals. This is clearly a gem of a somewhat hidden restaurant.

Great dinner and drinks!!
Christopher Titus
For the most part the food and drinks where delicious and priced very well. Service was great! The only negative is the French onion soup was ehh, ok, and the chicken Caesar salad had way too much cheese on it.
Greg Dix

Great food and strong drinks, very clean and well maintained
This is a great place. I have been here many times with my daughter. The chef makes a great cod sandwich (best I have had), another week I had the steak and shrimp, which was also excellent. But mainly the servers are super nice, the owner is great, there is a nice outdoor space to stay safe in these times and good drinks. I hope to see the return of live music soon
Christen Cioffi
