      I've been coming here off and on for the past year. The food is good. I always enjoyed the service until my last few visits. The lady at the counter the last few times does not seem to have the best customer service skills. At times she seems as if she's annoyed when the place is a little busy and just tries to rush us through without so much as a pleasant greeting.
      Today there was only one other couple behind us at the counter and the place wasn't even half full.
      Even my friends were commenting about her lack of customer service.
      The rest of the staff has always been friendly.
      I think it's time to find a new location to meet up with friends for breakfast.

      Wow! What a delicious spot. I was sick and tired of being brought to chain breakfast joints and wanted something different.

      The food was amazing and came out FAST! The employees were kind and accommodating. I enjoyed the ambiance and the vibe. I definitely could tell this was a solid spot just by the customer base. I ate the home run! and it was DELICIOUS! Those fried jalapeños pop off in that sandwich. It's so big I am excited to eat the other half of my sandwich and hash browns later. I absolutely recommend giving Brothers Cafe a chance if you're in the area!

      I looked like an idiot as I tried to figure out how to get inside, lol. Go down the hidden ramp on the right. As I waited for my transition lenses to fade, I was greeted with a smile and handed a menu. I selected the 2x2x2. It came out quickly & piping hot. Fluffy, tasty pancakes, scrambled eggs & sausage that is almost a cross between Portuguese & breakfast, very tasty. Mimosa hit the spot!

      What a great menu- on the wall, so many great selections: breakfast, fantastic Swedish pancakes, sandwiches, fresh coffee, tea. Also mimosas, Bloody Mary, screwdriver. ... and more coffee... haha.
      Friendly, fast service.
      My Santa Fe breakfast $17.95 was so very good. Large enough to share a few bites with your hubby or friends.

      Brothers cafe always delivers- it's our favorite breakfast spot. My go to is the chicken and waffles . The chicken is always delicious- perfect blend of spices and not too much batter. The waffle is perfect with a hint of vanilla. My boyfriend likes the bananas foster French toast, the bread is perfect balance to the cinnamon and bananas. And the 1/2 orange juice 1/2 carrot is the perfect blend .
      Service is always great- always nice and helpful staff. Today I tried the chilaquiles with steak. The steak was perfect pink and seasoning. There was a bit too much salsa but the flavors were good. Highly recommended!!

      We were searching for a local restaurant for brunch and Brothers Cafe met all our cravings! After looking through the extensive menu and ordering at the counter, we were welcomed by the staff to sit anywhere inside or outside. We opted to sit inside but the outdoor seating was also a great option. The staff was very attentive and quickly brought us water.

      We tried the Country Fried Steak & Eggs (comes with hash browns and toast -- I chose sourdough) and the 2x2x2 (two eggs, two pancakes, and sausage). The house sausage gravy for the country fried steak was delicious and the hash browns were crispy. The meal was filling and reasonably priced. Overall, we were very satisfied and would definitely return again!

      We needed some food and Brothers Cafe looked promising. One major criterion was outdoor seating where The Princess could lay down and people watch. Brothers Cafe was perfect for this. The seating is separated from the sidewalk by two or three steps. The overall vibe is mellow.

      We grabbed an outside table, and menus were brought to us. Once we figured out what we wanted, the order was placed and paid for inside. Drinks, set-ups and everything else we needed was brought to us.

      Mom's order was simple. She wanted a waffle and two eggs over easy. Easy peasy!

      The boss got an order of Fried Chicken with Fries and a Green Salad. She loved her food, and I had a small piece from the wing and it was excellent.

      My food was less successful. I'll often order Chicken Fried Steak or Huevos Rancheros when trying out a new place. However, there was a Daily Special of Carnitas with Chile Verde, Hash Browns, Corn Tortillas and Two Eggs Over Easy. I found the Carnitas to be somewhat dry and asked the server for more Chile Verde. It took a few minutes but when it arrived, it was hot, so that was appreciated. The Hash Browns and Eggs were perfect. The Corn Tortillas were served loose and folded into quarters. They would have been better if presented wrapped to keep them soft and pliable.

      Princess got a couple small pieces of pork and some egg whites.

      I also ordered a Latte. It was okay, but I wouldn't order it again. Not enough espresso and not nearly hot enough.

      Service was pretty good. We got everything that we had asked for and everyone was friendly. We will definitely come back to try other menu items.

      Lightly busy but found seats quick on a weekday morning. Lots of space and good for big groups. Menu has wide options for brunch and lunch.

      Ordered the Santa Fe Scramble, the French Toast (shared), and friend ordered the Greek Scramble. Santa Fe Scramble was filling, classic breakfast flavors, good egg texture. Hash browns average with crisp outside and soft inside. French Toast was covered in sweet, tasty syrup. Good bread choice and nice bananas on top.
