"We had a really wonderful meal and would certainly want to return. The emphasis on local fare was unique and refreshing. It also has some drawbacks in that at this time of year (early spring) there are more meats available and less vegetables and so the menu was meat heavy. Non-the less, it was outstandingly cooked and creative. The service and ambiance were great too."

"We ate here for Mother's Day brunch and all of us (husband and two young adult daughters) enjoyed our food! The b.f.p. pancakes are enormous and delicious. You've got to order one even if you don't like pancakes just for the experience. The bacon was outstanding as were the egg dishes. If you're a coffee fan, they serve their coffee in a french press -- ensuring that the coffee is piping hot. We plan to return to try the regular menu!"

"Although the menu is very interesting and the appetizers were delicious (sausages, and meat plate), my duck confit was a bit salty and not crispy enough. I had been there before and had been very impressed with my braised beef, so this time I was a bit disappointed. The service was very friendly and attentive but I thought the appetizers were taken away too soon. And sorry, but the bacon ice cream does not work for me. I still would go back as I do like the relaxing yet somewhat formal setting."

"I've come here a few times for brunch or dessert, but this was my first time for dinner. Food was excellent, as always. I had a roasted duck breast with cheesy grits and ramps, my friend had a fantastic steak with compote butter, and for dessert we had the poundcake with rubarb-strawberry puree and creme anglaise. The menu emphasizes fresh, local foods, beers, and wines -- our dishes aren't likely to be on the menu when you visit, but it will be something equally great. (Get the fesh-baked bacon chocolate chip cookies if they're available.)
I've always enjoyed the atmosphere -- warm and somewhat casual. It's fine-dining food, but the waitstaff uniform is a t-shrit and the check comes in a mason jar -- delicious and not pretentious."

"The fried green tomato salad was wonderful. However, the crispy pork belly dish was way too salty. Both the preserved vegetables and the skin were so salty they were inedible"

"My fiancé and I had hoped to have a nice meal there. She was looking for some fried green tomatoes. We were able to get a last minute reservation via opentable.com. When we arrived, it seemed very nice. We were seated at a nice spot by the window. 4 tables were sat after us. No one came over to greet us within the first ten minutes, yet the other 4 tables were all greeted and had drinks in front of them. As we reviewed the menu, I realized there was literally nothing my fiancé could eat (she's a vegetarian). They didn't even offer a salad. The bottom of the menu specifically says not changes or substitutions allowed. We got up and left. We went down the street to zo ca lo and had a wonderful meal."

"Had dinner Saturday evening; dining room (the one not by the bar) was very comfortable and quiet, tables well spaced out. Each of the appetizers/snacks was very good, the surry sausages with mustard and maple syrup, stewed lentils and the fried chicken "sammy" which was huge, could have been dinner by itself; each of us had the house fettucine with bolognese, tasty. The only down sides are no draft beers and a somewhat limited menu, depending on the daily choices provided. For dessert, the bacon float was a hit, the donuts not so much. Service was prompt and professional, all in all an enjoyable time."

"Went here based on other reviews on OpenTable. Fantastic little place. Locally sourced foods that taste good, attentive, bright service, and warm ambiance.

We did the tasting menu (55$/pp) which came with five courses. The chef clearly loves bacon, so if you do not, I would stay away. However, every one of my five courses was excellent, with bacon and other ingredients used in creative ways, and everything cooked exquisitely.

A final mention to the dessert: Bacon ice cream with mexican CocaCola float. Truly unique, but quite good!"

"Brookville, a recent favorite, proved less than satisfying this time, I think perhaps because holding tight to locavore principles in late March makes for a very limited menu. The menu offered no fish or seafood and, worse, no greens or other salad. Pig in all its parts--chops,belly, bacon--seemed along with eggs to furnish most of the offerings. The chop I ordered was a nice cut but it was a bit over-done. our party will return to Brookville but not until Spring is well underway, bringing, I hope, new lovavore options & we'll be sure to check the menu first."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our brunch at Brookville. My husband ordered the B.F.P. with bacon and managed to finish the entire thing (with a little help from me)! I chose the hangover cure for its multitude of pork products (bacon, rasher & pork belly) and I must say each was impressively unique and tasty.
Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. He checked to see if we could get one of the chocolate chip bacon cookies although it was not listed on the brunch menu and we were not disappointed!
I enjoyed our table by the window and liked the exposed brick walls and mason jar glasses. Our check was even presented in a jelly jar which I found to be a nice touch.
We will definitely return to Brookville--we want to try the dinner menu."

"We experienced a most delightful dinner in a comfortable and charming upstairs setting and were lucky enough to have had a window seat overlooking the downtown mall. Our waiter was most enthusiastic about the local origins of the menu while sincere and personable giving us clear descriptions of our choices. Our absolute favorite was the most delectable Oyster soup! Be sure to note where it is located before you arrive as it is very easy to miss given there is no restaurant front at street level. Look for entry way sign leading to staircase. Enjoy!"

"A friend recommended Brookville, saying it was one of those places where it is impossible to order badly, i.e. that everything on the menu is great. I took a date there on a quiet weeknight and had a great experience. I got a pork dish, and my date ordered the beef. Both came out after bacon fat popcorn and everything was spectacular! Great restaurant if and when you have the money to spend!"
