9 reviews for Brook Restaurant
The Brook is always solid. Sometimes it seems a bit dirty, but the food and service is always pretty good. My last visit I ate with a friend we started with chips and queso and I ordered the Blackened Chicken Sandwich with Steamed Veggis, he ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wrap with Mac and Cheese.
The Queso here is outstanding, better than most Mexican restaurants. The Salsa is average and the chips are very good too.
The Blacked Chicken Sandwich wasn't as good as when I have normally had it. They had it on Texas Toast instead of a bun this time and it wasn't quite the same. Either was the seasoning on the Chicken is damn good an the dressing on the sandwich make it so good you won't put it down. The Steamed Veggis are heavily seasoned but still good.
The Buffalo Chicken wrap looked great, Ive had it before and it rocks. That goes for all there wraps. The Mac and Cheese is always great as well.
The Brook is usually busy so you may have to wait a few minutes for a table but the food is worth it.

This is a cool place to hang as well.

It was ok, but huge portions. I had a turkey burger thing that wasnt so good but the other choices looked good. My fries had like a pound of salt on them. Are you fat? You'll probably like something here.

Okay- so there mac and cheese is unbelievable, I'll admit that. The problem is, the place smells so effing gross it makes the food taste bad. Think: a dorm hallway after a night of unsupervised freshmen have a keg party. Feet, beer, strong cleaning solutions, more beer and maybe some vomit. That's what I get.
The weird thing is, not too long ago they closed their doors for almost a month for a "deep clean," so I was super pumped, right?!? WRONG! It had that same smell the second they re-opened. Seriously!
So, as I said, the food is pretty good. If you're hungry for chicken strips and/or mac and cheese, or even some wraps or burgers, get it to go. You'll thank me later.

I went to Brook last night for drinks and today for lunch while in town for business.
The atmosphere is so cool - I loved the big old projector (Brook was once a movie theater) so much I took a photo of it.
They had some good wine last night, and the bar was a nice, chill place to hang out for a couple of hours. They have an impressive collection of flat screens showing whatever sportsball game happens to be on, but it's not overpowering or sports-bar feeling at ALL. They keep the bar sort of separate from the main dining room so it's not too noisy.
Today for lunch I was overwhelmed by how tasty the veggie burger was. I am on a constant quest to NOT STARVE while traveling for work, and since I work 99.9% of the time in Texas and Oklahoma, it's kind of hard - not a lot of love for vegetarians around these parts.
My lunch was so good today I cleaned my plate, and this is a huge rarity.
Only complaint is that there were two veggie burger choices but that's it for vegetarian options (aside from the usual salads and side dishes). Visiting here every few months I'll enjoy having the same thing over and over, but if I lived in Tulsa I would likely want more choices before becoming a regular dining customer here. The bar would have my business straight away though!

I went here on Brett B's recommendation.
The place is okay. But it is one of those quantity versus quality type of restaurants.
The Brook has all of the usual Southern Fired Foods on the menu. I had the Chicken Fried Steak and a salad. The Salad was huge! This was more like a dinner salad not a side salad, It was fresh and tasty. The Chicken Fried Steak was enormous as well. But the quality was not what I expected, the batter to meat ratio was way off, too much batter and not enough steak, the gravy was very salty as well. It was edible, but I have had way better in the past.
My quest for the best Chicken Fried Steak is not over,, The Brook doesn't measure up to my high standards, Sorry......

I think this place gets by alot on location. But It's an inexpensive bar and grill.
The Brook is located right in the middle of Brookside and I would call it a quasi-landmark. Assorted old foggies have told me it used to be a Movie Theater. Hence, the 1950's style movie projector when you walk in.
The food is relatively good, It's not destination good, but it's not disgusting . Although I am a bachelor and smoking cigarettes has turned my already unrefined tastebuds into gravel.
The Brook does keep the kitchen open until 2, which is nice for us alkies; It saves me from having to go to IHOP and a bar, I can just sit my happy ass in a booth and have some waffles.
Lots of TVs, and it's a good jumping off point if you are on your way to mischef elseware.
Good Times
Used to be a movie theater and still has the original marquee.
Large portions for a little price. The chicken fried steak is as big as your face and they measure out the mashed potatoes in pounds per plate. The food comes at you fast so don't plan on a long relaxing meal; there is usually a line at the door and they like to keep it moving.

Vanilla, dinner joint. Always has people there, the name is easy to remember.
The Philly Cheese Wrap is the best, I get it every time I come here.
