First and last time ordering. The wings were supposed to be Parmesan garlic and lemon pepper and they were dressed that way but ZERO Flavor! ZERO salt pepper or any other seasoning and here is a pic of Sweet potato fries. They are soft wet didn't taste fried. Didn't taste at all. I'm still hungry because it's impossible to eat this crap. I'm gonna season them and pop in my oven to recook because they were pricey. Worst 22 dollars I ever spent! read more

Brother Mike's Madison - I can't! - Steakhouses Near Me - Madison, Connecticut

First time visit. I go out to enjoy drinks, good food and comraderie with friends. This is a sports bar, and I expect the tvs to have sports on- NOT Fox News. I go out to get away from the world, and especially do not want to listen to that station. Our food was good, initially the waitress was the bartender, but then another waitress stepped in and she was very good. read more

Great food! Large portions! Turkey club was enormous! Gyro had great steak in it! Meatballs and spaghetti looked good!

Been there a couple times for dinner and drinks. Food is very good, lots of beer options and quick service. We brought in our infant daughter and they were more than accommodating in finding a spot for her to sit in her car seat. We definitely be returning. read more

Wednesday tried to call 3 times and place takeout order. Each time was sent to full voicemail ! Go elsewhere, they don't want your business. read more

The food is fine. The service? Not so much. Multiple forgotten requests for drinks and water. The electronic ordering devices seem to confound the servers. The apparent manager appeared to be badgering the servers and running around - without any apparent effect on service. The menu is very basic. They stick to your usual pub selections. The decor is fine. The smoking "patio" on the front entrance is a huge negative. You have to pass surly, mostly drunk barflies hoovering on roll your own smokes. Not attractive at all. read more

It's evident BroMike's has a unique concept and mission. From the website to when you walk through the door, you know you've stumbled upon something special. Within the framework of a sports bar, BroMike's is a gem. It's freshly renovated and happens to have an uncommon twist: You can actually have great food, feel like you're hanging at your friend's house - read LOVE the decor - and know from the menu the new owners have their heart and soul in sharing the best there is to offer. First, the food is really good - lots of nice starters, salads, sandwiches and sides. Daily homemade specials from fresh ingredients, Choice cuts of beef and pork purveyed locally and fresh daily, They let you build a burger your way with lots of items to choose with uncommon options like Brioche Bun, fried egg, guacamole. And the ground blend is amazing - try the house made meatballs, too - on a perfectly, light grinder roll or even on a salad. Quality ingredients all around. Hand cut fries are delicious, too. Next time for dinner I'm ordering the Prime Bone-In Pork Chop - hard to find tender pork these days...this ones guaranteed to be by the owner whose passionate about the meat they serve. Second, (loud applause here!) they have great wine - including WINE ON TAP. !!! Always a fresh pour, perfect temp. 2 amazing reds and 2 perfectly chosen whites for summer! The bartender, John, knows his stuff. Super friendly staff and great service. Third, plenty of TV's so all the games can be found. All easily watchable from a booth, table, bar seat or the community table. Excellent selection of beer that includes not only all the common beers but also lesser known beers and local breweries like Stony Creek. A small bonus is they currently have the two gorgeous bathrooms 'Water Closet' or unisex style which keeps things a little more interesting - no waiting and very NYC-style. There are plans for an outdoor patio/deck accessible through the restaurant, which I'm sure will have the same sophistication as the interior. read more

See all

First time in tonight. Sat at the bar w/ Tom bartending. Everything was great and surpassed our expectations. We've been looking for a new "spot" since moving to Madison 3 months ago, and finally found it. So glad we did! Definitely try the steak tips app, meatballs, wings, and we had a special sweet chili shrimp. Everything was perfect. Drinks were always full and the prices have gotta be the best around. If you've never been to brother mikes, stop by. You won't be disappointed. read more

I have eaten here a couple times since name changed. Food is ok. Very limited menu and not real creative. The service is always great with a young staff that knows how to make the time worthwhile. If they added some dishes, or expanded the specials to more than one thing, I may eat here more often. read more

Brother Mikes is far more than a place to grab a drink and watch a ballgame. Premium cuts of meats are featured throughout the menu and there is enough variety to satisfy everyone in your group. TV's on the wall, and it is well lit. Very clean inside. You would be hard pressed to find a better sports bar on The Shoreline. read more

I was so excited to stumble upon a little hidden pub in town. I've been in CT for years and never heard of this place. The food was good and the place was cute with a nice vibe. The only bummer was the bartender was a bit curt and not really friendly - I love engaging and socializing when we go out but that was a bit offputting. I'm sure I'll go again but maybe just not expect much. read more

Though I've been here numerous times,we invited friends who haven't.Cozy place hidden from center of town.Hugh bar,plenty of seats and a beautiful outside area,which features live music too.Great appetizer menu, main menu has everything from burgers,steaks or fish.We had the pleasure ofHolly serving us. Our first timers loved her too and suggested a return visit,which I have no problem because I've been here for meatloaf Monday and loved it.See u soon,thanks Holly!!! read more

Good hamburgers and nice spicy wings with good flavor and spice plus good bar and tv Lots of good choices on menu. But should make fries better read more

This place is a favorite of mine. I like that it is laid-back, but a good place to go for quality food. Also a great spot to watch any sports game, as they have multiple TVs at the bar. Every time I go I say I should try something new, but I am simply hooked on the Chicken Gyro (so freakin good...). In the past I have also had the fish and chips, fish sandwich, and wedge salad with blackened salmon. All are seriously delicious. Nothing bad to say about this place.. great bar staff here, friendly and attentive. read more

While on vacation a friend recommend Brothermikes. Great quite location. Excellent wait staff and the food was terrific especially the lobster cakes and calamari. Save room for dessert the slice of pie and ice cream filled out the evening. Thanks again read more

The hamburger was very good but pricey. But my wife had one of the daily specials... lobster roll, fries and cole slaw. Result wasn't that good. As compared to other places along the shoreline, the lobster roll was small and the roll was cut all the way thru making it hard to hold in your hand. The fries were over cooked and soggy and very salty. Coldslaw was sweet. The bottom line, over priced and below average experience. read more

It was just okay. Just a big room with the bar so it's loud. The wait staff was friendly. Food is mediocre except my husband and son loved the penne a la vodka. read more

THE BEST RESTAURANT EVER! California burger is the best, cooked perfectly to order. Chowder fries are to die for! Great atmosphere and amazing owners. Love this place!!! read more

Ive been here a couple times since it has recently opened and I absolutely love it. For anyone who knew the bar by its previous name (Malones) the inside was completely renovated and looks great. It is much more open than before, and has some cool new features like outlets under the bar and even a wine tap. The menu is also different and I highly recommend the wings and any steak/beef dish. Overall a great atmosphere and a place I plan on spending a lot of time at this summer. read more

The bar is always full; this is an excellent spot for alcoholics. The food is actually just average. Nothing to write home about....

I love brother mikes. Everyone who works there is so friendly and the food is fantastic! I go there for lunch sometimes and usually stop in after work for a drink or something little to eat. Their kitchen doesn't close ridiculously early like everywhere else so that's also great. Staff is awesome! read more

The place literally just opened. It was very busy. Service was slow because it was busy. We just had some snacks at the bar and a couple of drinks. Not much else to say right this second. We will go again for dinner and I will revise my review. Stay tuned! read more

We tried it last night after reading. a review in our local paper. I hope they were having a bad night because it didn't live up to expectations. Service was very slow. Waited 15 minutes before seeing our waitress. She was not very cordial. My hamburger was good but the sweet potatoes fries were barely warm and rather limp. My husband had the meatball grinder which was good but also not hot. Food obviously sat a while before we got it. Like the atmosphere although was on the chilly side but did get warmer as more people filled the place. Be a great local spot but they need to improve the service and wait staff. read more

Inept management and I get better service at a drive thru...i don't see this place lasting more than a year...15 bucks for a burger with fries..no wonder they lost their lunch crowd read more

We had a great experience at this local joint. The service was pleasant and quick, the atmosphere was relaxing and clean, and the food was delicious. We had the bacon wrapped jalapeños for a starter; they were awesome. My wife had the Cobb salad and I had a buffalo chicken sandwich with blue cheese for entrees--both excellent. The fries were hand cut and perfectly fried with sea salt sprinkled on them. What really set this place apart was the fresh ingredients. We will be visiting again to check out the wings! read more

Everything was perfect! Delicious martini, delicious prime rib and fish taco app. Great service and ambiance!! Can't wait to go back!

Pleasant surprise in an unexpected location. It may take a little know how to find this little gem, but it's worth turning on the navigation system. The decor, the cocktails, the food and the service were all above average. Especially the steaks. Even the coffee was really, really good. We NEVER review restaurants, but this is worth checking out. Our only negative comment would be that the name of the restaurant is a little off putting. It may have been better to just call it Mike's and explain the brother part in a paragraph on the menu. We will definitely be back. read more

Had a build your own burger. Very tasty. Asked for medium well, got medium rare, but it was really busy as a home game night at Hand football. Bar staff very friendly and work at making customers feel like they're a regular at Cheers. Many tv's to watch sports. Nice changes to the place. Will go back and try something more substantial next time. read more

We had a great burger - Brie and bacon - with excellent hand-cut fries. The atmosphere is very comfortable, and the staff fun and welcoming.

This our first time going there since it changed owners. We walked in around 6:15 and was told there were two parties ahead of us. We went to bar and ordered a drink and waited for about 45 minutes. We saw tables being turned over and other people seated and when asked hostess she replied oh they had reservations! Then another party of 4 walked in and didn't have a reservation but seemed to know everyone in there and was seated next instead of us. I then asked the hostess about them sitting before us and she replied oh I didn't see u sitting there. We were literally sitting right in front of the hostess stand at the bar. . She was phoney and rude to us. We paid our bar tab and left and went to our home town restaurant chips pub to eat. Your hostess was rude and clearly sitting your locals ahead of people who waited over 45 minutes for a table. read more

The atmosphere looked promising. That's where it ended. Our waitress, who's 5th night it was, was the only one on duty. Managers/owners?, walking around not pitching in. No one asked how our meals were or why the 3 shrimp that came on my salad were still there with one bite out of one when she cleared our plates. The shrimp were not good. Very fishy and not grilled. (3 shrimp were how many I received when I added grilled shrimp to my salad) Booth seats are too far away from table. From my 13 year old to my husband, it was too far for everyone. I asked if the seat benches were movable, they are not There was a chunk of food on the floor by our table when we got there and it remained there our entire dining time. Some people came in and waited to be acknowledge for seating. After waiting around 5 minutes, they left. I was disappointed and unfortunately will not be back. read more

Very limited menu. Menus were filthy from previous customers-- they need to either laminate them or get new ones. Mostly sandwiches and salads for lunch. Had the wings-- buffalo and teriyaki. Got 2 orders because 1 order only has six wings in it-- kind of small for an appetizer, especially when you're sharing. I had the burger-- it was cooked perfectly -- medium rare and very good. Fries are hand cut but you have to pay a $2 up charge to get them instead of chips. My husband had the pork sandwich-- he thought it was good. The food was very good and there was nothing wrong with the service-- we were the only ones there eating so we got served very quickly. I'm only giving them a 3 because I feel like I got nickel and dimed to death. Bill came to $48 for 2 sandwiches, 2 sodas, and 2 wings. read more

Great pub. Dining at the bar with Joe behind the stick is a great casual dining/ drinking experience.

First time here since new ownership, the food is vg, fresh and good portions. Now open for breakfast. Check it out, great Christie's alternative. read more

Food was great and authentic, definitely try the Salmon if it's a special it was delicious and the steak is huge!

Come here for lunch usually 1 or 2 times a week... Specials are usually very good. Daytime servers are AWESOME...locals clearly dominate the place which is good. Atmosphere is great, laughter and good vibes in the place..nice upgrades from the old place. read more

I was drawn in by the Mon-Fri specials listed on their website, only to discover that they don't really do that (?!?) My wife and I ordered dinner anyway, the food was good, service was good. It was not loud, the music on the sound system was set very low, so people could easily talk over it. I just can't rate higher than a 3 when drawn in on false pretenses. read more

We ate here last night and had a great time. Nice atmosphere and great setting with all the games available on multiple tvs. Service was great and the apps and sandwiches on point. I totally recommend Brother Mikes for a casual yet fun night out read more

Great restaurant! Joe Bruno , one of the bar tenders is the best! Food is delicious! The chef, Vir, is fantastic!

Great local spot! Love coming here for a quick bite, always delicious (turkey club is amazing) great community table to meet new friends
