I hosted 50 guests for a Bridal Shower Brunch on March 2, 2025. My initial meeting with Jessie Brown ( manager) was Phenomenal! She was so helpful and provided me with detailed information to help me with the planning process. We initially wanted to to do a lunch from the catering options, but then asked if it was possible to put together a brunch instead (which wasn’t on the menu). Jessie was happy to speak with the chef and create he perfect menu per my requests.. I sent her so many changes through the planning process and she was ALWAYS so attentive and quick to help me with my requests. Jessie’s communication throughout the entire planning process was EXCELLENT. I also need to mention 2 absolutely wonderful servers yesterday. Anthony initially greeted me as I arrived to set up decorations. David then joined him & they unloaded my car, ( I had a trunk filled!) and immediately asked what was needed. They both assisted me in setting up the room, placing linens, rearranging tables , along with Jessie’s guidance. The room is very large and so nice and bright! With large windows and light filtering shades if needed. We had a fabulous Mimosa/Bellini bar to offer our guests, and both Anthony and David assisted with any other drink orders , adjusting music volume or special requests. Now.. the food! We had a brunch served buffet style with Fresh fruit, assorted rolls, the most delicious spinach and goat cheese quiche, along with mouth watering stuffed french toast served with syrup, fresh cream and berries. We also had mini chicken sandwiches with bacon and avocado that were AMAZING! My only regret is that I didn’t take photographs of entrees. My guests couldn’t stop raving about the food. Many had never been to Brooks Kitchen & Tap , but I feel like now they will be visiting often. Please don’t hesitate in booking a private party here. You will be more than Satisfied.

Visited Brooks Kitchen & Tap for a school fundraiser (20% of pretax food order donated to Montini Catholic High School), and we were really impressed. Relaxing atmosphere, great service, and amazing food. The lamb meatball was really tasty and the size of a baseball. The burgers were filling and well seasoned. We will be back.

Anthony is the best waiter we’ve ever had. We have three kids and come here every Sunday. He is always welcoming and very polite and professional. The food is outstanding. I just had the hot honey chicken sandwich and it was fantastic.

Never disappointed coming to Brook’s, they have an ever-freshening menu and seasonal offerings, as well as a varying soup of the day and pie of the week. They consistently have a couple hard ciders on tap, and my husband appreciates the Yeungling and Zombie Dust. They have a great patio when the weather gets nice, and a great bar area manned by Harry who is always friendly and creating an engaging environment. We love seeing our favorite server, Anthony, who has been a steady presence for years!

Laid back pub with an elevated casual setting. Quasi industrial setting, not a strong theme. Immediate seating was a plus, though they had one large party wrapping up and were preparing for another. Happy Hour menu features several cocktails and apps to choose from. Menu is creative with the right balance of options without getting overwhelming. Food quality exceeds traditional bar fare, more creativity and attention to presentation, though the portion sizes are lacking. Service was extraordinarily fast. Meal came out very quickly. Server came back multiple times and drinks were never below half full. Prices are reasonable, especially for the flavor of the entrees. Seems to be a local favorite.

The food is consistently fantastic, and Anthony truly goes above and beyond every time. Not only does he have a great understanding of the menu, but he also adds a personal touch that makes the entire dining experience feel special. He’s always so attentive, ensuring that everything is just right without ever being intrusive. His attention to detail and friendly demeanor really elevate the atmosphere, making every visit 10 times better. It's clear that he cares about his guests, and his service makes a huge difference in creating a memorable experience.

We had a small wedding shower at Brook's on Saturday, 4/5. We were in the room with the large windows. Very nice setting. Anthony, our server was excellent. Very attentive and great service. Personally...I miss the old menu, but I know change is good. Thank you for making the shower day a great day !

The vodka pasta is my favorite. So creamy and comes with two pieces of bread. Not spicy at all even though it says it is, but I like mine without spice. The bread pudding was really good as well. The egg rolls were fine but I wouldn’t get them again. You will not be disappointed coming here it’s so good.
