Brookse’s Bar and Grill

"There was 1 poor lady running the bar as well as waiting tables. She told us it was only her and the cook. There were 2 tables filled with 8 patrons, 4 people at the bar, and 2 take-out orders during our 1+ hour visit. It took 45 minutes from time of order to get 1 burger+ fries and 1 quesadilla. The wait would have been worth it had the food been good. The fries came out cold, no silverware was offered for the quesadilla, drink refills were requested when the food arrived but came out as we were finishing our meal. I asked the fries to be removed from the bill, the burger ran through me (thank goodness we live 10 minutes away). We were not satisfied with our meal. This was our first visit and expected more based upon reviews. We have been waiting for them to get the wrinkles ironed out after their opening many months ago. We used to frequent the same restaurant weekly under the previous owner. Maybe it was just a bad day. There was not a Manager on duty to raise our concerns with. Only the waitress and cook. Good luck!"

"Oh, let me tell you about Brookse's Bar and Grill, my friends! I rolled in there with my main man, Jamin, and it was a wild ride of flavor explosions and good times! First off, let's talk about the food, 'cause that's why we're here, right? I went all in, folks—I ordered the pickle fries and the smoked club sandwich, and let me tell you, it was like a taste symphony playing in my mouth! Those pickle fries were crispy, tangy bites of heaven, and that smoked club sandwich? Oh, it was like a hickory-scented hug for my taste buds! But hold onto your hats, 'cause Jamin had the smoked Chef Salad! Yeah, you heard me right—a smoked salad that'll blow your mind! It's like they took a regular salad and put it through a flavor smoker, and the result was mind-blowingly good! Now, let's talk about the service, my friends. Our bartender, oh man, she was a superhero in action! Picture this—she had six people at the bar, and I'm not talking about just one or two, I'm talking six! And on top of that, she was juggling three tables! It was like watching a culinary acrobat in the middle of a flavor circus! But guess what? Despite all that chaos, she was on point, making sure everyone had what they needed and flashing that winning smile like it was no big deal. And the vibe at Brookse's, let me tell you, it's like a cozy party where everyone's invited. It's the kind of place where you walk in and feel like you're part of the family, like you've been coming there for years. The atmosphere is electric, the energy is infectious, and you can't help but soak it all in and have a great time. In conclusion, Brookse's Bar and Grill is a slam-dunk of a place, my friends. With its mouthwatering food that'll have your taste buds dancing, the superhero bartender who's the ultimate multitasker, and the welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like you're at home, it's a spot you don't wanna miss. So grab your pals, head on over to Brookse's, and get ready for a flavor-filled adventure that'll leave you grinning from ear to ear. Cheers to Brookse's Bar and Grill, where the good times never stop rolling!"

"First time to Brookse's and after today's experience I would definitely come back! Food and atmosphere were very good. Service was excellent! We sat out on the back patio and it was very nice. Good view of the river, very nice wooden tables and chairs and the fans produced a comfortable breeze. It's nice to have another option in Winfield to eat. I definitely recommend stopping by Brookse's Bar and Grill and trying it for yourself! I had the Brookse Burger with tots. Very good!"

"The service and food are great. They have a kids' menu and are family-friendly on Sun afternoon. The inside is bright, and even though I'd say it is more bar than grill, it's still family friendly. We ate outside and it was shaded, with fans and comfortable wood furniture. Our food was hot, good portions and delicious. I highly recommend Brookse's, and I'm glad we gave this place a chance!"

"Heather was amazing with service! Right on the money! We ordered a few wraps and cheese balls! Yummy! Great wings! They offer outdoor seating and live music on some days. Close to interstate. Full bar available & a jukebox."
