Came for a dad's brunch and had a great time. Service was great and great drinks and food.

Fantastic meal, nice set up where the bar and restaurant feel somewhat separate, food was phenomenal. Only complaint was that the music was slightly too loud, and I had trouble hearing my girlfriend. Otherwise, great food and great service, would definitely come back.

The Brookdale is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in NJ. Great food, great atmosphere. Never had a bad meal here. I love the prenup egg roll and the burgers are some of the best in NJ! Love this place

Based on our visit, it’s hard to understand how this restaurant maintains such high ratings. Our Friday night experience was nowhere near a 4-star level and was a big disappointment for a first visit.
Every soda at our table was flat. The server acknowledged an issue with the machine, but replacements were also flat.
While waiting, there were loud conversations nearby involving staff and possibly friends, which felt unprofessional—especially since the restaurant was nearly empty.
We were seated in a large booth right by the door, and when staff overheard us mention the cold draft, they offered to move us, which was appreciated.
Despite how quiet it was, food took an unusually long time. Burgers took over 30 minutes and were very salty. My fish tacos took 40–45 minutes for just two tacos.
Overall, long waits, flat drinks, and lack of professionalism made this a disappointing experience.

Extraordinarily kind and welcoming staff, good music, fantastic burger, maybe the best fries I’ve ever had. Did well with our gluten-free daughter as well!

The food was fine...lunch time is very quiet at this restaurant so it wasn't its usual lively self. The biggest issue--and why I gave the restaurant 3 stars rather than four or five is that no coffee or tea is served here (and according to our waiter, hasn't been for the last six months). I had asked for cappucino--and after being told they didn't have it, the waiter said no coffee or tea was availa ble. Pretty shocking for a restaurant in this area.

Great food! Love the rotating food/drink specials!
The food was great but not the in house tip charge.

This used to be my favorite restaurant in Bloomfield. I’m not sure if it’s under new management or new kitchen staff - it’s changed. It’s no longer available on door dash and they don’t answer the phone. They messed up my order. The steak Sandwich was my favorite item, and unfortunately it’s no longer pieces of real steak; it’s a ground beef patty. For $24, no thanks.

Ordered a pizza for pick up and it was ready in Leas then 15 min. Cooked to perfection.

Love the eclectic selection of foods. The decor is very pleasing. It could be a little bit brighter for my liking but overall a great place.
Definitely try their cocktails. I didn't get to try their desserts because I got so full on the appetizers and big sexy 2.0 Burger

Went for the brunch menu and turns out that they stopped at two months ago without publicizing it on their website. Food was OK atmosphere OK definitely nothing special.
