The food is consistently good, this is our favorite brunch spot. Don't let the casual atmosphere put you off, the food is delicious! My favorite is the California Benedict. I also love their burgers, sandwiches and salads. Everything is fresh and well prepared. The staff is welcoming and friendly. I always take a slice of pie "to-go" when we leave. You know it's good when you see cop cars parked out front!!!! ?

Went with my wife for the first time for breakfast, and we were greeted immediately by by the kind service. When we opened the menu we were surprised by the overpriced breakfast items. This may be the most expensive breakfast place I've ever been to. $20 for an eggs Benedict and the cheapest omelet was $16... we ate here anyways and I have to say, the Benedict had hardly any flavor to it... I don't count this next part against the rating, but more to let military folks know who are looking to save money, they don't offer military discount. Overall just an average tasting breakfast with high pricetags

The five star rating is just for one thing. The cinnamon roll This is the Cinnamon Roll and there's no other above, believe me ! It comes directly from the oven, the smell goes trough every inch of the restaurant and that gives a very cozy feeling in the ambience. Speaking about the food, is very good, but again, C I N N A M O N R O L L all the way ! That being said, the service is great.

I only wish that I could give them more than 5 stars. We were visiting from Huntington Beach and had breakfast here this morning. The absolute best pancakes I've ever had!!!! I'm only sorry I live so far away And the service was wonderful even though they were quite crowded

Food is great. Service is great and the ambience makes you feel like you are in a small town restaurant. I highly recommend everything. However my favorite dish is the chicken fried steak. You won't be disappointed.

Wonderful old school family style restaurant. Literally my favorite breakfast spot in SD. Their pancakes are very unique in flavor and always hit the spot. I've been here about 10 times now and never had an issue which says a lot.Kid-friendliness: They brought out crayons and paper for our daughter and the kids menu is really good.

My cousin suggested we go to Brothers for breakfast, as a few cousins and I were visiting her from Orange County for the weekend. The time spent at Brothers is 38 minutes of my life - wasted - that I wish I could get back. Our family, a party of 9, was seated in the rear of the restaurant. We looked over our menus and waited for our server to come and greet us. About 15 minutes later, a woman came to take our drink order. When we told her we were ready to order, she said, "I'm not your server." She didn't write our drink order, and it took her three trips to get it right because, well, she didn't write it down. We waited about another 5 minutes before my cousin got up to let them know that our actual server had not come to the table yet. Another 10 minutes went by and another cousin got up to let them know that not only had we not been served, we haven't even been acknowledged by our server. We were told who our server was and we saw him come into the room, serve another table, he looked over at us from across the room, and then walked back out into the main area. Mind you, this table, a smaller party than ours, had TWO servers tending to their table. At this point, annoyed for waiting for 30 minutes after being seated and not even being acknowledged by our server, we decided to leave. As we are picking up our things to walk out, one of the two servers from the table across from us, who was identified as the owner, walks to the table, obviously annoyed, and says, "What can I get you?" No, "I'm sorry for the wait." No, "I'm so sorry, we're super busy." No, "Thank you for waiting." No. She comes in hot. Instead of apologizing, she escalated. When we tell her that we're leaving because we hadn't even been greeted by our server, she says, "What do you mean? You got your drinks!" She told us, "What do you expect? We're busy!" My cousin told her, "We waited for 30 minutes to be greeted. Who knows how long it will take to food to arrive." She said, "You're right." Yikes. She acted like a 17 year old working their first sever job. No attempt to make it right with us. Very disappointing experience. No one should sit at a table for over 30 minutes without at least a greeting from their server.

Food and service here never disappoints. You can't beat their Omelets and their chicken fried steaks. Way better than those national chains.

Odd server asked me to wait then ignored me and told me she was busy. If you aren't interested don't say you are then act foolish and rude. Weirdos up in this place.

Smell walking in the door was wonderful with all the pies and baked goods. Service initially was great as you would expect from a breakfast place. Waitress was a little forgetful but was handling a large area. I got the biscuits and gravy combo, the biscuits were very underwhelming, gravy was good but not great. Mother got the banana, pecan pancakes, would have been a lot better had the bananas and nuts been cooked beforehand. Otherwise atmosphere and country Benedict we're great.
