Brookside Inn Restaurant

Had lunch with 3 others! Food was delicious! I ordered sausage broccoli rabe to go for my husband! Although it’s delicious but the portion was much smaller than what we had at the restaurant! Last time I ordered to go we had more broccoli and cavatelli for an entree!

What a fantastic place to come enjoy a meal! They have been in business for decades, and their good reputation is well deserved. The restaurant is easy to find on Route 67, and there is lots of parking. There are two dining areas, and a large bar as well. Also outdoor seating too! Staff is very friendly, but the real star of the show is the food! High quality fresh ingredients, cooked perfectly. I had an order of clams casino, they were super tasty, and the shrimp cocktail included 5 huge shrimp that were so firm and good, each one was worth 2 bites! The French onion soup was stellar, loaded with tons of gooey cheese & onions. I had the chicken "Gypsy" style, which is sauteed with sausage, roasted potatoes, vinegar peppers, and a tangy wine sauce that was delicious! My friends had the homemade lobster ravioli, chicken Marsala, and homemade gnocchi with braised pork and a great tomato sauce. Everyone was pleased with the large portions and fair prices. Finished off the meal with some Sambuca, which came in a snifter with the traditional 3 coffee beans. We all had leftovers to take home, and had full bellies & satisfied smiles on our faces. I highly recommend coming here, and will return again soon!

Stopped in for lunch after a hike in mid December. Service was amazing and food was delicious! I had a candy cane martini 🍸 which was served with extra and bartender was super nice. We enjoyed Rigatoni Bolognese which was made delicious with the perfect amount of seasoning and with nutmeg as bolognese should be made. We will definitely be back!!

The food is absolutely delicious and the service is excellent. They are so accommodating. We held a party here and it was absolutely wonderful. They are also very reasonable!

Good homemade ravioli which was made to order. The tomato sauce tasted acidic like it was poured out of a can, nuked, and poured over the entree. They can do much better than something which tasted like pizza sauce. Did not justify their price point. I will try this place again which was recommended by my friend who grew up in this town. They deserve a stay of literary execution and a second chance, but I'm Irish/German and my sauce is superior to their halfhearted creation. The ravioli alone was fantastic and I could not do any better. The chicken parmesan ordered by my dinner partner was incredibly delicious. She could not eat her entire entree. I gleefully solved the problem and devoured it...enough for me to wish a return to Brookside very soon for Round Two. Tip: stop rationing your Italian bread like it's caviar. Place a full basket of several slices on the table. Being cheap is not sexy for your price point. Your server was kind and attentive.
