Random find but so happy we used Yelp! to discover Brookland Eats. The atmosphere of this restaurant is quaint and obviously a local gathering place. Main dining room was clean and tables just far enough apart to not have to listen to your neighbors conversations (but ask what they were having as every plate looked fabulous!). Highly recommend both crab stuffed mushrooms and the fried green tomatoes. We will return in August for an evening with friends and many times afterwards. read more

This was my first time being at Brookland Eats in Roxboro, NC! With all due respect, I didn't expect to find such a classy-type place in such a rural area but I'm glad that it's there! I came here for a rehearsal dinner the night before my buddy's wedding. We arrived at 6 p.m. for cocktail hour and hors d'oeuvres and it was a great hour! The bartender kept the drinks flowing and there were coconut shrimp, bruschetta, and bbq egg rolls being walked around to the guests. After cocktail hour, we were ushered into the main dining room with the party and the servers took our orders. I will say the service wasn't the quickest I'd ever experienced, but then again some of the best meals I've had have been the longest and besides, the entire staff there was extremely pleasant throughout the night. The caesar salad I started off with was dressed nicely and you could taste a little bit of lemon with each bite. It came with brioche croutons that I wasn't a huge fan of but everyone else seemed to really enjoy. For my entree I ordered the filet mignon. It was cooked to a nice medium rare and placed on top of grilled asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes. Everything on the plate was great! To end things, I ordered the banana nut bread pudding. It came out of the kitchen piping hot with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top. It was a great ending to a great meal. If you're ever coming through Roxboro and you've got some time to sit down to a nice meal, I'd definitely recommend giving Brookland Eats a try! read more

Burger was on point, also the salmon was very good. Small place with good service and nice people.

The food is always excellent! The chef creations are great and the food choices are upscale in a small town.

Pecan shrimp was great! Ribeye steak dinner with hash did not have any flavor and meat was a bit tough. They comped some of the bill. Service was very nice and atmosphere was lovely. Maybe I just came in off day. All servers and manger was nice. Just wish my steak dinner was better. I really was excited to try this place / first time customers. I'd get the shrimp again... never the ribeye though. read more

Outstanding menu and amazing atmosphere. Been here a couple of times and had take out several. If you are in the area it's worth a delay to grab a meal here. Everything I've tasted was awesome! read more

A surprising find in Roxboro. Hush puppies with their own blend of pimento cheese was the highlight. Had rib eye sandwich and no complaints. Only place for improvement were the fries.... But that's a not. read more

We love eating here. I get the ribeye sandwich. The staff is always so friendly. It's a little pricey but everything is these days.

I will preface my post with the fact that Brookland Eats is a gem in Roxboro, NC! The food is excellent. Although the menu is not expansive, there are some creative dishes including hush puppies with pimento cheese and shrimp and grits that can rival those made in Charleston, SC. I feel certain that most everyone could find something on the menu to enjoy. While I would like to give a five start rating I cannot due to the initial wait to be seated and the bartending service. I recognize that COVID continues to have an impact, but this was not the case last night. We waited about 10 minutes to be seated. Typically this is not an issue, but when three different wait staff look your way and do not acknowledge your presence, that is a problem. Simply inform us that it will be a few minutes and the problem would be resolved. (Note, it was moderately busy, but not slammed with guests.) Once we were seated, we placed our drink order. We ordered the local beer 525 Amber Beer from Oxford, NC and a glass of wine. The beer came in a can. Again, we waited and waited to get our drinks. Another 10 minutes... I was able to glance over to the bar area, it appeared that the bartender forgot our order. How hard is it to open a can of beer and pour a glass of wine? It seems pretty hard as she barely poured a serving of wine. When asked if I would like another glass of wine, I quickly declined because I did not want to pay $10.00 for another three ounces. Come on folks, this is Roxboro, NC not Raleigh or Charlotte. On a positive note, the drink menu contains some nice wines and beers. Simply train the bartender how to uncork a bottle of wine and pour a standard serving. Regarding the food, it was excellent. The kitchen staff is efficient and they know how to cook! We enjoyed a burger and steak sandwich. Stefanie was our waitstaff and she was incredible. She apologized profusely for the bartender which was not necessary. Why should she have to take on the mistakes of others? I do plan to return in the near future for the food, but have reservations about ordering a glass of wine. Maybe I should just order the whole bottle LOL. read more

My in-laws live in Roxboro so my wife and I have eaten here 5 or 6 times, both for dinner and brunch. Overall only a couple things have been completely gross and most things are decent. Brunch stuff: their French toast was fine though the bacon was obviously of the cheapest ilk possible (shriveled and too much fat). The croque monseiur was ok though it tasted like it had country ham and cheddar cheese in it which basically just makes it a grilled ham and cheese. Also had the Cobb salad which was pretty good though no avocado nor blue cheese and lots of black eyed peas which basically makes it not a Cobb salad. Dinner was more mixed results. The burger is definitely made from low quality beef and both times came out well done despite orders to the contrary. The buffalo chicken sandwich was much better though it did have too much ranch on it. But by far the worst thing I've had here is the shrimp and grits -- the shrimp were the industrially raised tiny weird tasting ones and they weren't even warm. Totally disgusting. If you have to eat in Roxboro, I would suggest La Cocina or Morristown BBQ or even Vesuvios' pizza over this place read more

While here on business, I came here for a quick lunch. I ordered the deviled eggs appetizers which were yummy and a strawberry and goat cheese salad. Everything was super fresh and greet for a late lunch. I wish I had had room for dessert. The restaurant is in a cute little two rooms with very nice decorations. The menu was not too expansive but had lots of choices for a broad range of people. I would definitely choose to come again! read more

Fantastic menu and wonderful staff. Would highly recommend this place to anyone. Can't wait to go back again.

We love Brookland Eats and the specials they post of FB daily! Great atmosphere and very nice restaurant! Amazing food!!!

Great food, great service, great beer! Our table got a couple appetizers, the artichoke and crab dip and the BBQ egg rolls which were amazing! Everyone enjoyed their burgers and I really enjoyed my cheesesteak. Also I don't normally go for dessert, but the bread pudding was calling my name and completely worth it. It even had peanut brittle on top! read more

Very good place to have a family dinner. The only bad thing I have to say is their menu is limited due to COVID-19.

This place was really good. The atmosphere was great. I had the house salad with grilled salmon. That salmon was some of the best flavor I've ever had on a salmon fillet. It was probably the best salad I've had in a really long time. Overall it was a great experience and would definitely be back. read more

By far the best place to eat in Person County and beyond!! Everything is fresh and the ambiance is just the final touch. Although I love everything, I'm going to RAVE about the crab cakes! Seriously - all crab. Simply delicious. Thank you Chef David for bringing it in Person! read more

Great find! Ordered to go for 10. They made sure we had everything we needed in a very timely manner. Burgers were very good. Can't wait to get a chance for a sit down meal. Very nice restaurant. read more

The food is wonderful and our service was fast. The staff is very friendly too. It's a great place to meet friends and family! The daily specials are always nice to try! I've never been disappointed! read more

Well 60/40 I suppose. The shrimp and grits is usually good but the recipe seems to be very inconsistent. The last time I tried it it was more like shrimp grits and tomatoes. Also they refuse to substitute any side. This is frustrating because of the prices. WHAT are the plates pre made?? read more

If I could give this place -0- stars I would... This place single handedly represents racism in the south in all it's ugly glory. Where to begin. We were directed to this restaurant after a glowing review after our tasting at Rock of Ages winery for my wife's birthday. We were very excited to come eat here and there was a group of about ten of us. My wife and I entered the restaurant and figured there might be a little bit of a wait since we were a large group and it was around dinner time. The bartender told us it would be about ten minutes since the dining area wasn't really full and they just needed to get two tables together. Then the rest of our group came in and that's when everything went to hell and back. Two of my wife's close friends are married to African American gentleman who happen to be two of my best friends. Immediately when they walked in I could feel the angst and the bar tender made it a point to tell us that she had misspoke and said the wait would 45 minutes to an hour, which was curious since the restaurant was no where near slammed and a group of 8 people who were all white came in and were immediately seated. My wife and her girlfriends then went on to wait about 35 minutes to cash out for their 1 beer since the bar tender was refusing to serve them conveniently after their husbands came in. Not to mention there was only two other people at the bar besides us. Guests were looking at us like we had six heads in the dining area and the lady eating a chicken Caesar rap at the bar was so uncomfortable she got up and moved because apparently, she feared for her well being. When my wife and her girlfriends were finally able to cash out we immediately headed back to the Brier Creek area since people there welcome diversity and no longer live in the 1800's. It's 2016, there should be no place for this kind of behavior and honestly, as a white male, I am ashamed to have to be guilty by association of this kind of behavior. So if you want to go eat somewhere that values racism, and not serving people based on their skin color, by all means come to Brookland Eats, they serve ignorance daily. read more

Excellent stop after canvassing in Person. Great food -- service a tad slow. Delicious hushpuppies and a nice steak salad. Very pleasant venue. read more

The map is definitely not the way to get here ..it had us a mile past the restaurant! Look for the intersections of old Durham rd and Allensville roads ( across the road from Mastec's property. It is a brick building with a small sign over the door! A hidden gem, all the reviews are true! The pimento hush puppies are wonderful! I had the pot roast philly sandwich and my better half had the applewood burger. I have had the crab cake too and it is incredibly good! Well worth the money and hunt! read more

Very cute and quiet little area. The building itself was adorable and gives it more of a home vibe. I enjoyed that. The food was really good. I loved the hamburger and home-made chips. I definitely would come back again! read more

I only give one star because I have to. We walked in for my friends birthday and no one was at th e counter. We waited...and waited. I went to the back to ask if they are open and they said to give them a minute. NO... Give you a minute?really . I'm not spending your money. Totally rude and unresponsive. It was one pm not an off hour. I would spend MY money elsewhere read more

Had lunch here and it was awesome. The food and service were excellent. I had the Chicken Salad and my guest had the Pimento BLT with the homemade chips. The Chicken Salad was a little on the dry side but still very good and the chips were sooooo good! Not too many places in Roxboro to choose from so this was a truly delightful experience. read more

This was my 2nd visit & both times the service & the kitchen have been very slow! Once the food arrives its good, i would rate the food 3 1/2 stars & service 1 star hence the cumulative 2 star rating. Both times the waitress was easily stumped by simple questions, just seems no one out on the floor is experienced, knowledgable or understand timing of when to visit or not visit the table. Hopefully they can step up their game, like real soon though! read more

Great food, kind servers, and cute Decor. We love having a consistently good food option in Roxboro!

If you live in or near Roxboro and are looking for decent food - especially a nice dinner after church on Sunday - this is a great place, but hurry because they close at 3PM on Sundays. I had the crab cake appetizer and coming from MD I know a good crab cake when I taste it and it was good! I also had a shrimp omelet and a fresh, crisp Caesar salad. Service was fast and accurate. read more

Brookland Eats - Shrimp omelet and Caesar salad - American Near Me - Roxboro, North Carolina

A great little modern eatery tucked into an unassuming brick building off the beaten path in Roxboro. The crab cake was a little soft and undercooked, but the flavor a were great. The highlight was the dessert: fritters with hazelnut creme, raspberry sauce, and chocolate. Yummy! read more

This is great find in Roxboro! The pimento hush puppies were amazing and it's a great environment. Sometimes it's hard to find healthy food in Roxboro and they had some great salads on the menu. Will definitely be coming back ! read more

I decided to stop here on a Sunday at about 12:30. On Sunday's they offer a limited "Sunday Brunch Menu" so while I was looking forward to scarfing a burger and fries, the only option was an Angus Burger served with chips. I decided to change direction and order the Shrimp and Grits with a side of Collards. The wait staff was friendly and the food took about 10 minutes to arrive. The shrimp and grits were very good. The bacon gravy and cheddar grits were flavorful, creamy, and didn't over power the taste of the shrimp. The collards were very simple with little seasoning and barely warm. I'm a collard freak and love them tender but not boiled to a mush. These were a bit undercooked. All in all it was a decent meal. I'd love to come back for a Burger or Steak and give them another shot. read more

Tried Brookland Eats tonight based on the recommendation of a coworker as well as that of the hostess at my hotel. The restaurant is quite cozy and has really nice ambience when you walk in. You immediately feel comfortable. For an appetizer I had the Carolina crabcake it was pretty good, but wasn't as warm as I thought it should be it was a little on the cool side. For my entrée though I had grilled salmon, fried green beans, and tomato risotto. Absolutely DELICIOUS!!It was cooked perfectly and displayed pleasantly. The staff working was very friendly and helpful and very attentive to my needs. Definitely recommend and would definitely return for another visit! read more

Cute restaurant in Roxboro, Nc. Will definitely be going here again and recommending to family and friends. Inexpensive, great food. Fast, friendly service. read more

The first time I went to Brookland Eats I was not a fan. It definitely was something I planned to visit again ... but went back and I love this place ! I love the Sunday brunch ! So delicious. The environment is so nice, although sometimes loud. But I definitely do recommend this place. read more

I have eaten at this restaurant several times and enjoy the location and the atmosphere. It is one of the few non-fast food restaurants in town. The food lacks taste and the steaks are very small portions. I have not tried the hamburgers, but they look like the best for the pricing. The Saturday night kitchen staff appears is mostly young folks, making a lot of noise and not paying attention to proper food preparation and presentation. The crab filled mushrooms we ordered were under cooked, mushrooms were close to raw. The twice baked potato was poorly prepared and did not look like a twice baked, tasted more like instant. The steak small, you will leave hungry unless you fill up on bread. The berry & peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream was very good and salvaged the night. read more

Loved the wood floors and brick walls of this 1905 built former general store/feed store. Next - the server was charming, witty and excellent at her job. The menu is filled with great twists on southern fare. We had pimento cheese hushpuppies with Thai chili sauce and a cool variation on deviled eggs which was all very tasty. For dinner I had seared mahi mahi topped with Creole salsa, a crab cake and fried zucchini. One of my associates raved about his shrimp n grits while another had a grilled portabella with vegetables. The food was all very good and the portions generous. So generous in fact that we all passes on the dessert menu. This restaurant is so atypical of what one would expect of a small town place. We will definitely return. read more
