We have ordered from this place twice and the food has been exceptional, especially for SW Michigan. Grateful this gem came along! The eggs along w their other ingredients are better quality that what others are serving, and everything is cooked to perfection. Creme de Berry pancakes are yummy and shareable. Great portion sizes!

Brookies is a wonderful restaurant for breakfast or lunch. Easy to get to and parking near by. It is light and bright inside. Our server, Allison, was fantastic. We had a group of 12 and patiently took our orders. She brought drinks out early and checked back with us. Food is excellent— from daily specials to full meals— all of us enjoyed our meals. I had a French toast meal with Nutella, bananas and nuts and whip cream. Very yummy for my sweet tooth. Others had a skillet, quiche of the day, pancakes with fruit- all yummy! Prices were $8.95-$16 This was my 3 rd time there— did not disappoint. Will be back!

This is an outstanding place for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food was excellent!! The portions are large. The place is very nice and clean. I had a skillet dish - The Silver Beach Sensation. It was more than I could eat. Very, very tasty!! I’m a southern born, southern bred big breakfast guy. I hate to say it for all my Southern friends and family, but I’ve never had a better biscuit nor breakfast!! Do not miss this place!!!

Cute place! We were impressed with the staff and the food was great! I ordered biscuits and gravy and the bananas foster pancake because everything sounded so good I couldn’t decide! The biscuits were impressively soft and moist. The bananas foster had a nice little crisp to it, oh and the sweet cream on top?! *chefs kiss.* The cactus skillet had some HEAT! So good!

I came here with the family recently for brunch and we highly enjoyed it! We were seated right away and the servers and atmosphere was nice. The food took a bit longer to come out but thats because it was being prepared fresh! It was all great and we would come back again!

Our golf league ate breakfast at Brookies Cafe this morning and everyone enjoyed their meal. The vegetable quiche was the best I've ever had! We had exceptional service! Alissa was able to handle 14 of us without missing a beat. She was friendly and delivered the food in a timely manner. I've only had lunch there (which was also very good) so I was pleased to know the breakfast menu is just as delicious. No doubt, I'll be back.
