Foods good, but the few times I've been there, youll wait for service for a long time, even if there's no one else in the restaurant. Request your check, or pay, right when you order your food, or bring something to do, cause you'll be sitting there for awhile ?

We came in for breakfast but didn’t end up eating because the food hadn’t come out after over 30 minutes and we had somewhere we had to be. It looked like take out orders (Door Dash, Grub Hub, etc.) were prioritized over the customers dining in because we saw delivery people coming and going like a revolving door. It was packed inside too but it didn’t seem like food was being served quickly to others either. There were only 2 people in the kitchen. We would recommend adding an extra brother. We had to pay for our drinks and leave without eating. The server apologized for the long wait and noted that our food wasn’t even prepared yet. The servers seemed nice, just don’t go here unless you have A LOT of time.

For an American breakfast diner, this is top tier in terms of taste and portions. Very friendly, but with 6 people we waited about 30-40 minutes for the food after ordering. Will probably be my go-to for takeout breakfast, or if I'm alone and have some time to kill.

Very mediocre food especially for breakfast. It took 40 minutes to get food and there were only 12 people in the restaurant. Definitely won’t go back.

Unfortunately we did not get to eat. Walked in at 11:15 am . Ordered our food. Watched for over 1 hour while only take out customers were cooked for and served. Meanwhile they had not even started on our meals. Waited about 15 more min and still our food was not prepared. Left very unsatisfied. As I sat there I also noticed people who were seated b4 us also had not been served. Poor Poor service and poor management on time very dissatisfied I'll never go back.

This place has an old fashioned diner feel -- oldies on the radio, black and white movies on the TV. The red potatoes are excellent and the server is friendly and efficient. My favorite place for a weekday breakfast or lunch.

Brothers was a good experience.
If you have a chance then it'll be a good try.

They have all day breakfast and good atmosphere that makes you feel like you're outside In a small village.

We ordered lunch including walleye fish sandwich with onion rings, a BLT with onion rings, and pulled pork barbecue burger with loaded fries.
All items were filling and satisfactory. The price was reasonable and affordable for the food received.

There is street parking on a busy street.

I wandered in at a slow hour, moping & sad about life. I got the chilaquiles with pancakes.
Quick service, nice presentation, sizable portions, and most importantly it all tasted very good. I'm obsessed with trying chilaquiles everywhere I go. Unlike too many places, the chilaquiles weren't cooked to mush but had the right crunch and bite.
I left happy and full, with a new go-to neighborhood spot. What more could you want?

There are very few authentic, old style diners left; this is one of them. The Brothers Cafe provides the ambiance other restaurants try to manufacture. The food is quite good and reasonably priced, the staff (owners?) were very nice.

I must say I am bery bery bery disappointed with the wait here I understand being the only employee serving tables but the fact that I saw the server leaving my plate sitting on the counter for who knows how long is bery bery unacceptable I was starving and hungry after the food was serve to me there were no Forks like am I going to eat this as a cave men with my bare hands? Waited for server to finish doing what she does I had to stand up and get them myself other then the service here food was alright the sausages kinda tasted like bleach or maybe is just me?
