The Elbow Room

The food was great. I had the buffalo chicken wrap. It was well balanced in taste and ingredients. No iceberg lettuce here! Slightly soured greens and cucumber were great with the spicy chicken and blue cheese. It was so full that a toothpick might have been nice to hold it together. My husband had the pastrami sandwich and pronounced it one of the best he has ever had. Great bread and well seasoned. We both had the house made chips. Not greasy and well seasoned. We are from up north but would definitely go back next time we are in town. Service was attentive and food came out quick. It was quite crowded at 8 pm on a Friday night and people were waiting for tables. We got there at a perfect time to get a table.

Writing this as we're here. It's been an hour this far... we waited 20 minutes to even be greeted. Then I found two seats at the bar side... Wait another 20 minutes to be greeted with only 10 people on the bar and two bartenders, three waitresses and two managers. The managers were just shooting the shit and then bossing staff around. We ordered our food with our drinks. The food took an Hour and 20 minutes to get to us with 3 tickets in front of us. The people who sat after us with more people got their food before us. Truthfully, not worth the price or the wait but my boyfriend loved the wings. Dan, our bartender, was patient and understanding. Will we be back? Absolutely not. My recommendation to the managers is that if you have bingo night, music on the patio and it's both Big 10 and Big 12 football days, staff accordingly and don't dilly dally while your staff struggles.

The service was excellent. I sat inside and at the bar. Good vibe. The food was good typical bar food, the fries were great and the burger: cooked perfectly. The drinks were served and poured well. I'd go back!

We stopped by here on a Saturday night and it was a really cute small place! We got seated rather quickly even though they were busy. They brought a high chair for our daughter - but I would note that they only have one so initially we waited until someone else was done using it. My husband loved the burger! The lettuce wraps were just okay - the chicken was a little dry and the cucumbers didn't seem very fresh. The sauces made it better, but typically meat should be really good for a lettuce wrap cause that's essentially the only cooked part. I probably wouldn't get it again but the other food looked better! I'd come back to try something else!

Slow service and average food. The burger was ok but the shrimp had more batter than shrimp. This was our 3rd time as we want to like the place but same experience as previous 2 times.

Cozy place.Horseshoe bar inside.Patio seating outside.Live entertainment.Great burgers and cold beers.Friendly clientele and servers.

Nice setup outside. We ordered the Crinkle chips with French Onion Dip and they were disappointing. The dip was hard and just wasn't worth the price. The smash burger was really good. Need a double if you are hungry. The hot chicken sandwich was very good and the truffle fries were great! Glad they had more than just Diet Coke for diet sodas.

The best smash burger in Brookfield. From a traveling foodies perspective. Fast and friendly service. Upscale dive bar vibes. But don't expect to have more than Elbow room it's a tight squeeze when it's crowded. The patio is spacious however. Thank you Chef!

Great atmosphere and good food. It is a nice place to hang out on the deck and enjoy a beverage, food and company. They have music from time to time as well.

Nice patio on a fall late Friday afternoon was spoiled by some of the most ordinary food. Very limited menu after 5 on a Friday because they prepare fish fries and don't have the kitchen space, so they serve only a few other items. Since we didn't want a fish fry we ordered 2 of the smash burgers - one had a hair in it and the homemade chips were crumbled into small pieces and over cooked. Also ordered bang bang shrimp just before the 5 o'clock cut-off and you would not know that it was shrimp. I believe at best it was tiny frozen shrimp put in some hot sauce?Waitress was great and offered some discounts but you could sense her frustration with the kitchen - "they are still working on getting their act together". Nice location but until "they get their act together" we will not be back.
