Has changed over the years. A bit more pricey now than it is worth. The meats are just so-so, they cover everything in their sauce so that is pretty much what you are tasting.

Has always been my favorite restaurant. I was on a road trip to Binghamton and had to stop for lunch at Brooks BBQ. Food is awesome and fair priced.

Two stars for prices and service. The food is still good but like some reviews here I agree 100% that their prices are as if they were a $$$$ restaurant in Manhattan. No waitress/waiter, you pick you after yourself, and the sit down management is just awful with no intention to make your experience worth coming to. I really wish they shut down indoor dining and lower the prices. You’re fleecing the locals and tourists. Stop doing that. If people stop coming perhaps they might change, but too many addicted to their food keeps them coming. I would suggest just order chicken without making it a meal and it will be a lot cheaper. Owners should be ashamed of themselves on how they have made Brooks BBQ. It’s gonna become like the Farm House down the street. A once upon a time great place to eat. Lastly, what happened to your coleslaw? It’s a super garlic flavor!? I thought it was COVID that jacked me up but reading comments here some have said the same thing. I thought it was me but apparently not.

Brooks is an Oneonta classic that seems to have lost its way. I have been heading to Brook's for over 30 years. However, my last visit was a disappointment to be sure. The place has changed, I understand price increases and that restaurants in general are having staffing problems. This is no longer a full service restaurant, yet maintains full service pricing. The prices have gone way up, the level of service has gone way down. If you like serving yourself, cleaning up after yourself and paying a lot more to do it then this place is for you. I won't be returning.

They're only doing take-out currently but they do have a few picnic tables outside!

I recently read that you were going to be at the Tractor Supply in Vestal, NY. I forgot the date and would like to go there. I have gone to Brooks many times on my way from Albany and it is the best I have ever tasted. Love it. Thank you.

Best place to get an answer would probably be through one of the "contact us" methods found on their website. You can call or email them. Good luck :-)
