★★★★★ 5.0 Jade Strauss · Mar 2026

Absolutely wonderful experience! The staff did an amazing job helping my boyfriend, his family and me put together a large takeout order for his surprise birthday party. I’m BEYOND grateful for how kind and helpful everyone was throughout the process. I especially want to thank the woman who was the manager working today — I unfortunately didn’t catch her name, but she went above and beyond to make sure everything came together smoothly. The entire team was incredibly friendly and supportive, and I can’t express enough how much we appreciated that. The food was great as always. We ordered several chicken halves, pulled pork, ribs, and almost all of the sides — everything was delicious. If you like BBQ, Brooks is absolutely the place to go. Since this was a takeout order for a big group,

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Leo Fioravanti · Nov 2025

This is a rare example of a place where buying from the mobile fundraising events is an overall better experience than visiting the home base. Firstly, the meat is good but sides are like chain buffet quality. Every BBQ taste is different. If you’re looking for Texas wood smoke you won’t find it here. This is charcoal based BBQ, and in my experience, chicken and ribs are the highlight since they take better to that kind of cook. I was not a fan of the brisket or pulled pork because I think those really need Texas smoke. They should add sausage and turkey options since they are also good charcoal cooked meats. If you want to dine in on the weekends, it’s buffet only and no sandwiches. The cost will be between $20-35 depending on your choice of meat. The buffet is all you can eat sides and

★★★★☆ 4.0 Kenny Frederick · Nov 2025

It was pretty good. We got the buffet. Which really isn’t a buffet because you can only have a set amount of bbq. You can pick 1 2 or 3 different meats. 2 meat was $30 per person and you get choice of two meats and then whatever is at the buffet. Buffet is decent. Mashed potatoes were good. Mac and cheese was good. Salads were good. The best part was the ice cream. They have pure maple syrup as a topping. The atmosphere is great.

We chose Brooks’ for my daughter’s wedding reception. We knew the food would be exceptional and our guests would love it. It was held in their log cabin called The Roost. It was a great rustic venue! We chose one of the buffet packages but we had 2 wait staff (Missy and Skylar) who were excellent. They consistently checked with me, the bride and groom and our guests. Missy worked with our DJ to ensure all the various wedding traditions went smoothly. Dan was our bartender and also was great. We could not have had a more accommodating and friendly staff. One of the managers, Gene, was very helpful and patient during planning and set up. Finally, Ryan Brooks was absolutely wonderful in helping us plan and very accommodating so we could have time to decorate. He has a great team but teams are
