Really dirty place, worked there can honestly attest the tables and floors are always sticky- they will sometimes go hours without being wiped down, "chefs" touch their noses and dont wash hands after the bathroom and continue to cook. Silverware always has spots, plates are always dirty and the cleaning system is extremely ineffective. They use rotting limes and lemons for their drinks. They allow the garbage and dirty towels to be in very close proximity to the food being made. The bar usually has a pile of moldy, wet towels in the corner near the fridge (I think its to soak up the condensation of the fridge but towels rarely if ever get changed out) The customer service is okay as long as the owner is fighting with you (feel free to read Facebook reviews on that) and the bartender isnt extremely intoxicated (which very rarely happens and is very illegal.) None of these accusations are false and your first 15 minutes of visiting Brookside will show you that.

Ive given this place 3 tries for food and found every dish to be sub par - even if Im just ranking it against pub food. Expectations arent even that high if I have a good beer in my hand. However Im posting tonight after calling them to see if theyll be playing an NFL game tomorrow which is only on satellite. I try to explain to the first person what the Sunday ticket is and then she cuts me off by saying I should call back tomorrow because shes too busy to talk - and then she hangs up. I call back... And she passes me off to another person who says she cant hear me and shes moving to other phone. I held on for over 10 minutes just to see if theyd ever come back to me. I can even hear them talking in the background. Bad food and cranky waitresses arent a good combo. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else when your in Higganum.
