24 Best American Restaurants in Brookfield

“Ambiance, service, and food.. all amazing! Some of the best food I have ever had. The white truffle mushroom risotto was hands down the best risotto I have ever had! The carrot cake was something out of heaven! Parkside 23, you didn’t disappoint. It’s so nice to go out and actually have a good meal and good service. Rare find! Will be back for more“

“Sarah N. was a wonderful server! She was friendly, smiling and accommodating even though the restaurant was super busy. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience!“

“Liena was an amazing server and gave genuine reviews of our questions regarding multiple menu items. She had an awesome energy from start to finish and was super accommodating to all our request. Would definitely request her as our server on our next visit.“

“Wonderful atmosphere and delicious food. The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be coming back and it was great place to take our grown daughter for her birthday.“

“I only order the "Jalapeno Popper" from Mac's in Brookfield. Over half the time I order it they don't put in any jalapenos or they put in next to none. How hard is it to properly make this dish? It is super hard to add jalapenos to the JALAPENO popper? After the 3rd order it happened I brought it back. The manager stated, I quote, "There are jalapenos all up in there" while pointing to two small pieces in the ENTIRE DISH. Done wasting my time and money with this location that can't make a simple Mac and Cheese. Pathetic.“

“great food ..service and fun environment!!!“

“Wonderful gem in Brookfield, off the beaten path. Perfect location, close enough to metro area,but far enough away to give it a friendly neighborhood bar feel. Staff are friendly, efficient and professional. Had a small get together there and it turned into a bigger party than expected. I was impressed by how the waiting staff were able to accommodate us and make everything work out, very impromptu ! The food is exceptional and priced reasonably. NOT UNDERSTAFFED, so the service is very prompt and effective. Friendly atmosphere 🤗“

“😃Great place to eat. Good service.“

“Yesterday I Had My Son 1st Birthday Party There(My 1st Party Booked There) and it was a great experience. Great Customer Service, Party Host(Marisha) The Party Supervisor (Haley) Rock. They were both Awesome, Thank You Ladies Both For Helping My Son Birthday Even More Perfect 🥰🤗

UPDATE: 12-06-2025 staff is not the same as before. Different faces, different services from 5 years ago. Also the bathrooms are disgusting!!!! I hate seen this after eating from here…. I have a photo but it’s not allowing me to upload it. Lucky them“

“Goddess never disappoints! With a new baby I just haven’t been able to frequent as much as I’d like to, but WOW, today they reminded me how subpar my homemade coffee is ? thank you for a lovely dose of self care and relaxation and for remembering me even with the bags under my eyes. You guys are the best! Ezra will be raised a Goddess lover.“

“Katie was our server and she was attentive and friendly. Great smile too. The water is soooo refreshing. My husband had breakfast and enjoyed it. I had the Cajun Chicken Sandwich. It was a big sandwich so took me some time to eat it all. Haha But it was good. You get your moneys worth. Ill be back again.“

“My fave breakfast place. I am from Lake Country area and the Brookfield First Watch surpasses any breakfast in this area, in my opinion. Always consistent. Get the market fresh veg omelette. Fantastic“

“Heather was amazing. will def come back. ocala location“

“Everything was made well and cooked perfectly. It was our first time trying the Shack chicken sandwich and it was seasoned just right, juicy and crispy. Also, tried the cheese fries. 😋 When we learned SS was out of the peppermint bark shake (how I don't know? Do you run out of peppermint?), the young lady at the counter was apologetic. I tried the sticker toffee and my granddaughter had a Christmas cookie shake. They were very tasty! Friendly faces were abundant, too. When we encounter that kind of service, we go back. 😃“

“I am staying at the hotel this restaurant is attached to, and my initial experiences here were honestly frustrating. However, I hope you read this to the end, because it gets better.
During my most recent visit, there was an issue with the staff. I was in the middle of writing a very negative review because of it, but I need to update this based on how management handled the situation.
The manager came over personally, apologized, took full ownership, and addressed it immediately. She told me the staff involved were let go, and made it clear she was getting things back under control. She also took care of my first drink, which I did not expect, but appreciated.
The food has been consistently good, and the way management stepped in completely changed my impression of the place. There were definitely problems, but they were taken seriously and corrected.
Because of that, I am adjusting my rating from what was about to be a 1 star to a 4. I can respect a business that fixes its issues and takes care of its customers.
The rest of the staff, along with the manager, have been great. I am not going to let a couple bad employees define what is otherwise a good experience. I will be there again, and if the service is as good as I expect it will be. I will adjust this to a 5 star.“
