The Brothers Cafe

I've been here twice now and the food is exceptional! The atmosphere is calming and welcoming and the staff is so kind. Highly recommend for a nice breakfast!

I was really hoping this place would be good because it's super cute inside and the staff were friendly. Unfortunately the food took soooo long, our waitress came back only to take our order and hand us our food. Which was upsetting bc u wanted a refill and to ask for more food. Fries were not seasoned the French toast didn't taste like anything but egg and bread. The eggs and bacon were pretty good. The chicken fried streak was okay and not super big. Hashbrowns were delicious (we asked for crispy).

I think this is a newer place in South Minneapolis, that was easy to find. It is a large enough space with plenty of seating, with sort of antique like decor. You can see the kitchen right when you walk in and the cooks had smiles on their face greeting customers. They have a fairly large menu with all day breakfast and some lunch options, lots of variety to satisfy just about anyone. The server was also friendly. I will say it took a little longer than expected to get our food, but it ended up being OK. Prices are what you would expect for a diner. There is no parking lot but a fair amount of free street parking. They also have a few outside tables as well

Nice spot for a classic American style breakfast. Very no frills, and I always prefer that when it comes to breakfast. I got their good morning breakfast and it was good, eggs were done well and the hash browns were yummy. The other people in my group ordered the pancakes, and those were super yummy (I tried some) and definitely worth a try if you're considering!Service was good although some of our orders were incorrect (wrong bread/toast). Nothing crazy though. Overall a good spot for an easy meal.

The Brothers Café, despite its friendly staff, falls short in several areas. The decor lacks comfort, and the food and coffee consistently disappoint. On multiple occasions, my orders were incorrect or frankly inedible, and the apologies didn't make up for the subpar experience. While the french fries were admittedly ok (unseasoned but fine, fresh and crispy), the lackluster truck stop coffee, soggy BLT, and oddball fish sandwich all left me completely unsatisfied. Even the hash browns missed the mark with their mushiness and weird taste of something left on the grill. But what truly baffled me was their consistent lack of effort to make things right.Twice out of three visits, I pushed my plate aside, barely touching anything. Instead of offering to fix the issues or take something off the tab, the servers simply apologized and retreated with my fullish plates, bill in tow. On one occasion, eggs arrived without the cheese option that was discussed, and when I finally flagged down that server, they apologized profusely for not writing down my order correctly. But here's the thing: an apology doesn't replace a meal. Eggs are cheap and quick to prepare--why not remake them? Is a happy customer not worth the extra $1 and 5 mintues it would cost them? Apparently not. And no, the restaurant wasn't busy at the time; there were just a few tables occupied, as usual. Yet, the response remained the same: "Sorry, sorry, sorry," and I left hungry and $20 lighter in funds. Honestly, I didn't want to write a negative review for a family-owned business, considered just remaining silent but they had three chances to get it right, and they missed the mark on nearly everything. Food waste and customer money down the drain is no kind of business model! Maybe this warning will save someone else from a similar experience. Perhaps the unfortunately negative reviews might even hasten the inevitable, making way for a new establishment that knows what it's doing and is willing to fit the expectations of the customer. Or maybe I'm just screaming at clouds and angry at myself for giving them two more chances after that bizarre tasting batterless skin-on fish sandwich (replete with little fishbones!) But my gut tells me that Brothers won't improve. They're obviously thirsty for business (No fewer than 8 pieces of signage announcing they are NOW OPEN outside), yet they've hired inexperienced servers who can't handle issues effectively and a cook who doesn't know a saucepan from a ramekin. The fish sandwich was the only thing I've had there that was actually seasoned, and poorly so (it's not hard: beer batter, salt, pepper, butter, maybe some lemon is how it's typically done, not sandy colored mystery spices) Put plainly, this is a café that lacks passion for food and coffee and it shows. What's the point of an all-day breakfast (and lunch and dinner! Why by the way?) cafe with items devoid of comfort or flavor, no Wi-Fi, dumpster juice coffee, and a depressing and disjointed atmosphere? The Brothers needs a complete Gordon Ramsey level intervention, or they'll be gone soon. And yes, I'm writing this review while hangry! But who is to blame for that?

I thought it was just a breakfast place, a very good one. Boy, was I wrong. Check out their new, glossy menu. Two big pages of goodies! From pancakes and omelets to Delmonico steak and shrimp, this place has a well-chosen selection of tempting treats. Emphasis on American and Mexican breakfasts, American and Italian lunch and dinner.As with my first look, the coffee is hot and good, a light brew. Service is quick and polite. More servers! She said it's getting busy on weekends.Ambiance is same, tho spring approaches. A few stray flakes of snow drift past the huge picture window. Cloudy and brisk. Nice and warm inside.I ordered the pulled pork hash breakfast, adding an order of fries to go. It really does help when the cook is also the owner. These guys groc advanced food prep, including fine slicing onions and green peppers, as well as proper browning of potatoes. Little details separate this place from a Denny's, which otherwise serves adequate food. The Brothers takes you far beyond that. Every penny well spent. Great place to eat...but no Wi-Fi.

It wasn't busy when I went. Service was fine. I had Eggs Benedict with hashbrowns, coffee. Good all'round. I may go back today. Just too many teevees, turned on and no one watching them.

Newish breakfast and lunch joint. Been here twice now, really reasonable prices, really solid food. Really like their French toast.

Great food. Very good service. Cute retro space. I'll definitely return when I'm in the area.

I have to be honest. You can't make a good omelette starting from liquid eggs. You have to crack some eggs open and scramble them first. My pancakes fell apart while eating them. These cakes are from a box mix and not from scratch. These brothers should take notes from a place just around the corner from them which serves arguably the best cakes in town. Come on you CAN do better. This place has that comfy cafe look like it has been around for a while. Our server was very friendly and spot on with our service. With a little bit more effort to update the quality this place could be a winner.
