Brothers Bar And Grill

Food was pretty good. Mostly, your normal bar fair, but was above average. I had the quesadilla burger and friends had a burger and a chicken sandwich, no complaints from any of them. We were seated right away and our waitress was polite and attentive. They do have a very large beer on tap selection.

First off, let’s give a shout out to our server Kylee. She was the best. Tried so hard, was incredibly fun and made a very mediocre sports bar experience very good. So, management if you’re reading this, train your servers and employees to be more like Kylee. Called ahead to make sure sound would be on for FSU and LSU because it was the only important college football game on 9/3. Was assured they would. At first they didn’t, Kylee tried her best, but was met with resistance. Manager came over, explained that I called they said there would be sound on which is why we came. He asked who I talked to, a bizarre question in my opinion because why would I take down the name of the person I talked to at a sports bar about having sound on for a meaningful sports game. Anyhow, he got the sound on, but it was comically low so you couldn’t hear it. In his defense, I didn’t specify a certain volume level, so he did what was asked. Would’ve been frustrated, but again Kylee was great and made sure it was still fun for our group. Food isn’t very good, but beer is reasonably priced. And, they have great servers like Kylee. Will I be going back regularly, no. But if I am in the area and I need a cold beer, would I swing by and didn’t care about the game that was on, yes. Finally, bathrooms were not clean at all, but the mirrors were, so I was still able to fire off a great mirror selfie for the ‘gram.

Great Place. Great People. Great Time. 09/09 we called ahead to check on college football programming but arrived to find that there was no ESPN+. We were seated at the bar next to a terrific couple (UCLA /USC fans) who were regulars and overheard the bartender tell us our game was unavailable. Within minutes these folks slid over a laptop that was streaming our game! Wow, what terrific people! The bartenders were friendly and spot-on during a very busy time and our food order came out quickly. The icing on the cake was watching the Longhorns put the beat-down on ‘Bama and leave Sabin looking like someone stole his milk money.

Having only been there during that lull of time between lunch and dinner, I can’t speak on the service. It was totally sufficient for it being a slow time of day. I went once with both kids and again with just my oldest. Their kids menu hits all the classics. No milk or apple juice available. They do have booster seats and high chairs. Bring your own crayons for the activity sheet menu! My picky eating 6yr old loved the chicken tenders. The staff are all very sweet when the kids engaged with them too which is always appreciated. The first time I came I ordered the boneless chicken bites. They seemed like good quality for sure. Nice sauces too. Second time I got the Buffalo chicken wrap. I ordered it with no provolone but extra blue cheese and it was better than I’ve had at other chain restaurants around town.

We had a big party, I set up the reservation a month in advance. The corporate party planner set it via email but no other communication. I called multiple times but only got emails back saying the reservation was confirmed. However, every time I called the restaurant no one knew anything about the reservation and took my name and told me a manager would call me. That never happened, On the day we showed up and sure enough no one knew anything about it. However, they did get us a table upstairs and everything was fine. Until time to pay. For some reason they didn’t want to split checks and yet didn’t want to do one big check letting us figure it out. It was a bit annoying but the server definitely was great and pretty much saved the day. The food was good, atmosphere was ok. The on site staff certainly saved the day, because the corporate planner and on-site party planner were unwilling to just do some basic communication with me, with the staff. Over all it worked out.
