Brentwood Cafe & Tavern

We had 6 in our group and all ordered something different. Everything was excellent. Try the enchiladas. The manager was so friendly. The décor is appealing Will definitely go back when in the area again.

Horrible Service– The dining area isn’t busy other than a painting party. Waitress is horrible and has attitude. Ordered our sodas and Nacho appetizer from what seems to be the buzzer. Waitress came up following that to take our order that was already done. She then brought sodas and barely looked in our direction. We told her that we were going to order regular food after the appetizer. She then came back about 5 minutes later and wanted to take our food order. We declined as our nachos had not come out yet and didn’t want the meal to come right after it. We received a disgusted look and she walked away. When we told her we were ready to order she said just a minute and disappeared in the kitchen for 5 minutes. She then walked past our table and said she needed a minute to get a pen. About 3 minutes later she walked up and said «K» and took our order. Food was good and had to go to the bar to get our soda refills myself.

Shout out to Ginger, her boys and Christina. Had my daughter’s graduation party here and they all did an amazing job. The place looked great, service was top notch and we had a great time. Thank you for helping us make her day a great celebration!

I really used to like this place but I’ve had some negative experiences the last couple times… Once I came in to game and all the machines were down. I understand that shit happens, so nbd. On my next visit I ring the doorbell and knock on door with no success, I ended up at pts down the street. Then last night, the same thing. I’m here to drink and gamble but even with all the lights and tvs on, no one answered the door. Again, I ended up at pts. I want to like Brentwood, but i can’t even get in the door. Place has a lot of potential.

As soon as I get to the bar I’m greeted by the bartender she asks what id like. Right as I ask her a question the cook comes into the bar and yells the bartenders name. And says get over here. They start talking and I consider leaving. But I stayed. Finally get my drink. None of the table games are working where I’m sitting. Beer tastes watered down. And the cook came into yelling 3 more times. Even though it wasn’t loud or busy. In fact she was louder than the Gabe on. Even though I was there to watch the game I left as soon as I finished my drink. Went to another bar. No wonder there was only 6 people there on a Friday night during nba finals.

They had one girl running the entire place. She was very pleasant. Food came out with ingredients that we not listed on the menu. The breakfast potatoes had bel peppers in them which was not stated. Unfortunately my boyfriend is deathly allergic to bel peppers we had to send his food back. Food took long to begin with so wait was extremely long.
When everything finally came out the food was great. I had the veggie sandwich. Overall customer service was great.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm. … nachos and Brentwood burger fries drinks!!! Sooooooo yummmy! Our new fun place!!! Service and place so clean and 100% on top of everything

My wife and I gave Brentwood a shot last night. Very nice place, the atmosphere and staff are friendly and the pricing is on point. I really wasn’t impressed with the food, though. I ordered the open-​faced chili burger and it was probably the most flavorless, unseasoned meal I had in a long time. I discarded the bread for dietary reasons and the tater tots (my real cheat portion) were good, though.
I’ll give them another shot pretty soon. They were understaffed last night and our server did his very best to keep us smiling, which was awesome. Plus I didn’t get to try the bar side out as I’m not drinking at the moment, so that’s worth a try as well.

This place has really good food. We used Groupon and had the seared ahi tuna, meatzla pizza and meatloaf. All were excellent.
The service was a tad slow at first but the poor girl was by herself while it was kinda busy and she was very kind.
The 1 star off of 5 stars is for price. Just a bit high but when combined with the Groupon it was a good deal.

Loved my food! The Tavern Salad was fresh and delicious. Balsamic dressing was really good. Missing pralines though– I was looking forward to those The veggie pizza on gluten-​free crust was the best anywhere! I would prefer more sauce. The veggies were very tasty too!

UPDATED REVIEW: PLEASE READ BELOW!!! Outstanding. My family & I have driven by this place so many times & I’ve always been intrigued and curious whether or not they were good. Last night we went and ordered a ton of food (courtesy of our groupon which is a great deal btw). Although we had to wait maybe 20 – 25 minutes for our food, it was well worth the wait. Everything was extremely fresh and our waiter was also really nice as well. Definitely gonna come back in the very near future.

Very unfortunate that I’m having to update my review. This place went from a 5 STAR review down to a 1 or 2 star restaurant. The food was not nearly as good as last time, the pizza tastes like frozen pizza, the $ 9 chicken tender meal was literally the size of a McDonald’s happy meal, it was SO small. The portion size of the nachos was cut in half, very disappointed & probably won’t be coming back here again. Sad.

So… I’ve been here a few times over the last couple of years, and while the bar and staff are great, and the food is good… i do not like karaōke hosts that take breaks and sing when there are more than 8 people who want to sing.
There are at least 11 singers tonight, and we’ve only sang 2 songs in 3.5 hours. Not to mention, at the end of the night, one guy sang 3 times in a row because he tipped. As a former karaōke host myself, you NEVER put people back to back. Yes, let him sing twice in the rotation, but FFS, there are other peoplewho want to sing too.
I’ll come back for the bar, but not karaōke. The sound isn’t very good either.

I can’t believe we drove past this bar for years without stopping!
Over the past year or so, we’ve gone regularly to Brentwood and never had a bad time. The bartenders are personable and good at their jobs (so sad Billy is leaving!). They don’t mind giving suggestions either. The food is excellent compared to other local bars. We love the chicken parm, enchiladas, flatbreads, and all of the apps!
On holidays there is always some kind of party happening. Gaming machines are usually kind. The bartenders are great about not nickel and diming for drinks while playing video poker/​keno! Some bars base your comps on coin in and will still charge for drinks even if you’ve been playing up and down for hours. This isn’t one of those places!
There are karaōke nights. A whole large dining room is available for family dining too.
We love Brentwood! The location is a little strange, but definitely swing by to give it a try. Awesome local feel!

3 stars because Service was AWESOME but selections make sure I will not be back.
I really want to say that the bartender was awesome and I hope he can go work at a place with more than just a few beers. Like I said service was great.
How does a bar not have Guinness or Sam Adams? My two favorite beers/​brands just not around.
Food was good, but again I wish there was more than just burgers or sandwiches.
I sure hope the place changes a little bit so I can come back because it was a good place just needs a few additions.

Over the years, I’ve dined here a few times, and it just keeps getting better. I’ve had a great burger and some good brunches. Who doesn’t dig a good brunch?!
For breakfast today we tried:
~Chocolate Chip pancake for our kiddo
~Poached Egg Eye opener, hash browns, sausage patties with extra side of fruit and rye
~Eye Opener over medium, bacon with sourdough and, of course, had to go for their Bottomless Mimosas on Sat & Sun morning for $ 15. Our food was a solid breakfast; eggs poached nicely, over medium done right, a HUGE kid’s plate of chocolate chip cakes that we all shared. Bacon was cooked crisp enough, the kiddo LOVED the sausage patties, the hash browns needed more browning, but that was a first. Toasts were great –rye especially. The fruit this a.m. was a cup of strawberries, a nice fresh little treat. Our server kept the mimosas coming, they seemed like a decent quality champagne — no headache to speak of– and a good ratio of orange juice-​to-​champagne. No complaints here.
Service was good, informative — we found out about some fun happenings offered here, check them out below. The (owner?) or manager has stopped by to check on us each time we come in, which I appreciate.
Other fun events hosted here:
Karaōke on Saturday nights 10pm-​1am
Acoustic Open Mic Sunday 9:30pm-1am
Starting a Thursday night soul music night by Michael Grimm ~ I believe he won America’s Got Talent one season… should be fun!

Jesse is the best! The chicken fingers with hot sauce on the side is my favorite

What an awesome breakfast find! We had 2 different skillets and they were great. The hash browns had great flavor and nice thick wheat toast. Not crowded, prompt and friendly service. Looking forward to going back and trying lunch and dinner. Michael Grimm is playing there Thursday night’s, we want to check his show out too!

This place is a great little local bar but VERY SMOKY, which sucks for those of us who don’t smoke. This could be solved by more ventilation. The drinks are good and the service is mediocre but I like coming here for karaōke. Be prepared to wait because the host doesn’t rotate in new singers before current singers sing twice. This is uncool but it happens. I sat for 1 ½ hours and listened to one guy sing 3 times meanwhile, I still had 11 singers in front of me before my first song. BAD FORM as a host.

I have only ate here once and it was for breakfast but I will be returning shortly.
We ordered the pancakes banana’s foster and the ranchero.
While the wait was a bit long after we ordered, but it was very much worth the wait.
The pancakes were off the chain! I usually only have pancakes once every one or two years unless they are cooked at home and next time I go here I imagine that I order these! I haven’t ever had pancakes this good I don’t believe.
The ranchero breakfast was also very good, but I like the pancakes much better.
The ambiance and the decorations for Christmas were great, and the staff was even better, they were friendly attentive and not over attentive.

Sometimes you just want a good Bloody Mary. Sure, bacon and lots of stuff is welcome, but at it’s heart, a Bloody Mary is tomato juice mixed with ingredients that can include, but are not limited to: Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, horseradish, celery, olives, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and celery salt. You get the picture.
Proportions are also key. Too much of any one or two ingredients and it’s a bit like a great looking girl with one huge hairy toe… nothing gets noticed except the toe.
The Bloody Mary’s at the Brentwood Café are so bad that they are literally closer to a marinade for tough, low quality steak than a drink. As best as I could tell it was 77% cheap steak sauce, then bad tomato juice… undrinkable.
To top it off the place was woefully understaffed, so getting the check to leave our table full of untouched Bloody Mary’s took uncomfortable minutes, and the waitress didn’t even question as to if we liked the drinks.

Maybe the best part or reason for coming here on game days: happy hour specials, aka 50% off, on all appetizers, which on Football Sunday’s is essentially all day.
To balance that, for non-​smokers, is well, the second hand smoke from all the generous smokers enjoying packs and packs of their cigarettes of choice. Sharing is caring I guess.
The Football Burger Special is what I ended up ordering (¹⁄₃ pound burger with side of fries), which is the most popular item to order with my group of friends. For $ 5.50 it is a decent burger, while you watch in agony or serenity as your team implode or dominate on the field. But even better than this classic burger is their crispy fries.
After watching the second half of this week’s afternoon games, we walked out while the sun is still up, but smelling like I personally smoked 3 – 5 cigarettes. Glad I left my jacket in the car, even though it is brisk 57 F degrees.
Until next time. Maybe.

Went there yesterday (Sunday) with family. The place was beautifully decorated with Christmas stuff. There was just us & 1 other couple in the entire place. It looked like the place was at its last breath, but the server said they were. Server was nice, but it looked like his friends were there. He gave us 1 set of fork+knife. Sitting somewhere on the other side of this décor separator thing, he kept checking to see if we were almost done. At which point, he screamed:
(make this font size 32, in Comic Sans if you want)
ARE YOU GUYS HAVING DESSERT???
As for the food… wild rice from a box, orange marmalade glaze from a jar, salmon that tasted like it had been freezer-​burnt for a while (not a lot of people order the salmon, probably). Bar food. Wasn’t absolutely horrible, but food always tastes OK when you’re hungry.

Wonderful, warm and friendly restaurant! I found it by searching through Groupon. The restaurant has a warm and cozy atmosphere and is especially beautifully decorated for the holidays right now. I was in the mood for comfort food and saw online that they had meatloaf and raced over here. The generous portion of meatloaf was absolutely delicious! Plus the mashed potatoes were soft and creamy. We also ordered the Chicken Picatta. Wow! delicious! My mom said on a scale of 1 to 10 she gave it a 20! And she is very picky ! It was made with fresh lemons that you could actually taste, fresh chopped mushrooms and served with soft warm garlic rolls. Alicia was our server and she was absolutely delightful! We will be back for sure even without a Groupon! ;)

This bar has potential, the ambience is great and if it wasn’t for carey the grave yard bar tend we would not have been repeat customers. My husband and i came in for a few drinks and got stuck with a $ 125 tab. My husband took the high road, paid it and even tipped but the itemized check was wrong but who can argue with the bar manager. If you want to pay strip club prices and leave with no buzz this is the place for you. Locals beware.

Although we pass by here quite often, on our way to do errands and shopping at Arroyo Crossing at Sam’s Club, Walmart, Marshalls, etc., I never would have thought to stop here, if we hadn’t purchased a Groupon.
SOOO glad we did! The jalapeño burger was out of this world!!! If I am craving a burger from now on, none other will do! It is piled mile high and the secret sauce is unbelievable! I got sweet potato fries with it, which were absolutely scrumptious without any ranch or ketchup… but once my husband talked me into trying the ranch dressing, I was hooked! It is hands down the best ranch dressing I have ever had… and it is homemade!!!
My husband got the California chicken sandwhich and was also very pleased. It comes on ciabbatta bread with bacon and avocado.
The portions were large and the atmosphere is quaint and cozy.
Thanks to our server, Aleisha! She was very pleasant and attentive.

Been coming here off and on for a couple of years. The menu has recently changed and I am extremely impressed with the sesame ahi tuna — so much that I’ve finally written a review!
You can get the ahi tuna as a salad or as a burger and both are huge portions. It is a generous filet of perfectly seared ahi tuna, tender in the middle and covered on the outside with sesame seeds.
The tuna burger is topped with a little wasabi and some delicious Asian slaw, served on a potato bun. It comes with your choice of side, fries, onion rings, slaw, side salad etc.
My fiancé was visiting recently from Australia, and we stopped at Brentwood a few times to have some drinks w friends. One of the nights we both ordered the ahi burger and he had been talking about it ever since. We were going to grab a bite to eat last week before going to meet my parents, and I asked him what he wanted. He said immediately that he had to have that sesame ahi from Brentwood. Really? You’ve been to Vegas twice and out of all the places to eat, you want to go to Brentwood? It must be pretty good!!!
So… This is my third time ordering the sesame ahi tuna and I was compelled to tell all the Unilocalers about it. Yum!
This place is also very big and the staff is super friendly. Tamara the bartender is super sweet and is always nice and bubbly, and waited on us today.
They also recently upgraded the bar stools and TVs in the bar area. The TVs are are bigger and high definition, and there is a huge one on one of the bar walls that is perfect for football. They also have super fun karaōke on Saturday nights. Plus there is a separate huge nonsmoking dining lounge that is kid friendly.
Sometimes it looks dark here from the outside and appears to be closed, but trust me, they’re open! The food and service are awesome.

We found out that they have karaōke here on Saturday nights so I convinced the fiancé to stop for one drink and MAYBE one song. We ended befriending the karaōke host and some of the regulars and staying until 1am and singing like 4 songs. We had a blast! The bartenders were super friendly. We will be back for karaōke!

I’ve lived in the neighborhood for a couple years and never had been here before. I’m so glad I suggested it. The dining room was beautifully decorated for Christmas (a little early) and our server was attentive. Coffee was good and our breakfast was delicious. My husband got the Country Benedict. The gravy was delicious and had plenty of sausage in it. I got the standard two egg breakfast with sausage. The eggs were poached perfectly. The only thing I thought was a little odd was that I only got one slice of toast (with no butter). Other than that we had a great experience and will go back.

This place is in the middle of nowhere. Well actually I only say that because this side of town is pretty foreign to me.
It’s a pretty cool spot if you live in the area. My friend had a birthday party here and she got to rent out the whole outside patio. It was a cool night so it wasn’t too hot. Everyone that was there for her got a stamp so you can get half off appetizers, well drinks, and beer on tap. The beers on tap was pretty good.
They have karaōke and the DJ was awesome. He seemed like an aspiring rapper.
The prices for the the food and drinks were pretty reasonable not too pricey. This place is pretty cool we had a good time. I probably won’t be coming here too often considering is pretty far from me but if I was in the area I wouldn’t count this place out.

This is going to be one of my new hangouts. The bartenders are great. Brian was very attentive and friendly. The food was fabulous as well. Not your typical bar food. Lots of flavors and lots of great options. The pizza was melt in your mouth good and the nachos were fully loaded and massive.
I didn’t know what to get off the menu. I hear the burgers are delicious here and that their southwest egg rolls are an awesome starter. I’ll definitely have to go back ASAP and give those a try.
Clean place, clean facilities, great bartenders, good late night food and clean crowd. I give this place 2 thumbs up!

Excellent service from the man on the phone! He helped me through the menu like he made it himself. I took his recommendation on a couple things including the coconut shrimp and WOW! Enough said! But wait!!! There’s more! Lol. He also told me the chef was fast and my food would be ready in 10 minutes. And it was! I drove there immediately, and I live literally 7 minutes away. Everything tastes immaculate. Also when I walked in to pick up my food he greeted me genuinely and offered me a drink to go. Spot on! And at 6 am? So awesome for us night owls.
Price was $ 25 and some change for an order of coconut shrimp, a triple dip w/​fresh tortilla chips, and a great portioned size sweet potato fry.
Fabulous and I WILL be back.

Recently under new management, and located slightly adrift of where one’s GPS might suggest on West Warm Springs Road, Brentwood Café and Tavern was brought to my attention by a couple sitting next to me the week prior at Old School Brewing Company and featuring a similar ²⁴⁄₇ format with a family friendly dining area separate from the 21 and older bar and gaming area an early morning visit was planned — my 6:55am arrival finding only a young graveyard shift bartender, line cook, and janitorial staff present in the surprisingly large space.
Divided into two sections, the larger dining area not open until 8am thus relegating me to thankfully uninhabited and largely smokeless lounge, it was with friendly service from the barman named Jesse that I was greeted and opting for water over booze a few questions about the menu were answered before a two-​course order was crafted, the youngster clearly acknowledging the need to confirm items with a kitchen that still managed to botch one half of the four items chose.
Oddly lit, with red lights overhanging tables and a multi-​hued system centered at the bar, it was with a trio of slatted windows open to sunshine that I sat in waiting and although the WiFi was down the combination of SportsCenter and a soundtrack featuring Soudgarden, Nirvana, and Niko Case managed to keep me entertained until savory selections arrived, the fluffy biscuits proving well crafted despite being delivered without any jam or butter while a basket of salty pretzel bites with a pot of creamy queso was admittedly quite good, though certainly not worth $ 9.49.
Clearly not familiar with the breakfast menu, having to write down the second half of my order and again relay it to the kitchen, it was only after a fairly sizable delay that plates three and four emerged from the back and although the French Toast was the richly saturated sort that I love, crisp over custard beneath sliced bananas and toasty nuts, the «All Star» pancakes were anything but what was promised — the flavor entirely devoid of root beer and arriving completely stark despite the menu promising both whip and ice cream, the later only arriving once I pointed out the error, my own 100% maple syrup brought from home added to make the fluffy triple-​stack much improved.
Friendly in service and featuring an excellent soundtrack I only wish the food and overall experience at Brentwood Tavern would have been as good, some of my issues undoubtedly due to the timing of my arrival but others simply due to poor execution with none of it on par with several local competitors in the 24-​hour scene.

I am trying to use up this
gift certificate thing I got and I can only use like ten dollars of it at a time.
Decided to grab some food here with Hunnie Bunnie after school.
Walking in your nose gets invaded with cigarette smoke before you open the doors and get inside the dining room area.
We were immediately met with someone though and promptly had a server as we were the only ones in the dining room.
They have a kids menu, which is always nice. Hunnie Bunnie enjoyed her pasta with marinara.
Plus a giant vanilla sundae we ordered after.
I had some grilled chicken, cheese, bacon, lettuce, avocado, cheese sandwich minus the bread and mayo with a side of fries.
It was delicious and the fries were served hot with a light seasoning on them.

It’s a-​ok. It’s a fairly standard 24-​hr, neighborhood bar and restaurant. Though, the lights are almost bright here and the restaurant area is pretty ample. The barstools are in need of serious repair.
The food is alright. Standard, insignificant, run-​of-​the-​mill fare (or at least for what we’ve tried so far). It’s all edible and will hit the spot. But none of it is crave-​worthy. Though, I will say that the full-​size burgers are probably substantially better than the slider versions. I’d definitely be willing to come back and try a full burger.
The bartender we had was friendly and attentive. Beer offerings are pretty standard. They have $ 15 bottomless mimosas on the weekends.
They also do karaōke here. It’s not too bad. Though, the space is a bit awkward for it. I do, however, like that I can sit at the bar and have a great view of the karaōke proceedings.
Note: If using that Groupon you purchased, despite it being for $ 20 towards food and drinks for 2, and clearly not stating must purchase 2 entrees, they will try to force you to order 2 entrees.
All in all, an a-​ok, average place. I’d be willing to give it another try. If I lived in the neighborhood, I could see myself stopping in frequently for a beer.
