I have been to Brookyn's many times and found the food to very good . I have had many of their specials and always been pleased.I too am happy it is no smoking because of the layout it could be problem. They have a good beer selection and have a great bartender when cindy is their during the day and Pat at night..

If I had to describe this place in one word, that word would be "ass".
Like Allison A, I tried their French Onion soup. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to make French Onion soup, you brown up some onions with a little garlic, toss in some beef broth and coat the thing with cheese. You don't char the onions and you don't use government mozzarella on top. My soup was served Detroit-style - bland and under-seasoned, which you kind of expect at a Detroit-area establishment. Sadly, when you try to add salt to soup after the fact, it doesn't work out because the broth just doesn't absorb the salt like it should.
The burger was crap. I don't understand why they even bother asking you how you want it cooked, when everything comes out of the kitchen medium-well to well. Everyone knows that the optimal way to eat a burger is medium-rare, but even if you like it cooked a different way, it'd be nice if these mouth-breathers could figure out a way to cook it how you order it. And despite being medium-well, the burger was pasty and gummy like oatmeal.
My waitress was aggravating, and I can only assume that she suffered from the same closed-head injury that the cooks have. The service was slow, and I knew that trying to explain to my waitress just exactly what was wrong with my food would be as frustrating as trying to teach simple multiplication to a Red Wings fan.
I'm not one to comment on atmosphere, and the food and service were certainly bad enough to warrant the one-star by themselves, but I did want to touch on the unique stench that this place has. I really don't understand how you get a place like to smell like that, but the only way I can describe the smell is to have you picture two sweaty midgets having a pillow fight with bags of hot garbage while kicking around a couple of used urinal pucks. Actually, that's probably exactly how they got that place to smell that way.
When I finished my "meal," my first thought was that I was being punked. I kept waiting for some no-talent cougar hunter to come out with a camera and laugh at me. But when I saw the manager's blank stare and the visible patina of dried drool in the corners of his mouth, I realized that this is just how they think food is supposed to be served. -

Jake and I both had the French onion soup. It looked disgusting because the onions were black. The broth was low quality and had way too much oil in it, probably from the cheese. It was the worst restaurant French onion soup I've ever had, that's for sure.
I ordered ribs and chicken. Their ribs were the lowest quality I've ever had. They had little meat and were too chewy and hard. Not high or even MEDIUM quality. They were served lukewarm. They tasted like something from a no-name brand grocery store freezer. They were disgusting. I wouldn't even give them to a dog.
Chicken was served pink on the inside. Even when another piece came back cooked correctly, I didn't want to eat it. I was just DONE. It didn't have any flavor, anyway. I assume it was a cheap frozen chicken breast because it was small and flat. Wherever it came from, I didn't want it in my belly.
My boyfriend got a burger that had no seasoning whatsoever. He took about two bites and was just so turned off by my food and his lack of flavor.
The best thing about our visit was the french fries, which weren't even good. They were just bearable.
Their food SUCKED horribly and was not reasonably priced to reflect that. I'll never ever ever ever ever go back. Oh, not like it'll matter in a couple of months, but it was smokey too.
Oh, the service was good. We were offered 10% off. The waitress assured us "we really do have good food. You should come back and try it again!" Um, yea. No thanks.Listed in: Best & Worst French Onion Soup

Brooklyns at first glance, is easy to drive by. The best part of Brooklyns however is the Patio located behind....from early spring to the last nice fall day, make your way to the back. Cheery umbrellas shade you while you eat! They've recently gone through a menu upgrade, but the "Hook em Horns" platter is the best value, tasty, with ribs, steak bites, beans, cornbread, garlic mushrooms, 3 huge chicken fingers (real ones - honest!!) and GREAT chicken wings. My husband swears by the white chili, and the 2 of us will sometimes split a platter, get a couple of beers and a chili and with tip be out for less than $20....the service is great!!!
