Elia has the best customer service! We come back to see her every Tuesday. Ellie is so sweet as well. Thanks for the burgers and built in babysitting !

Great food. Good environment. Our server Tiana was wonderful! She was very quick at getting things we asked for. We will definitely be back!

I’ve been coming to Brothers for a while now, and it’s usually a chill spot with decent music. But recently, I had an odd experience with a security guard who seemed to think he was working at the door of an elite Hollywood nightclub instead of a local college bar. It wasn’t the standard ‘No ID, No Entry’ type of thing—this guy denied me entry because I was wearing sweatpants. Yes, sweatpants! At a bar that’s more dive than fine-dining. I guess I missed the memo that Brothers is now the Met Gala.
I understand enforcing dress codes, but it felt more like he was profiling than keeping things classy. Let’s be real—this isn’t exactly a Michelin-starred lounge; it’s a local spot where we all just want to grab a drink and relax. I’ve seen people in pajama pants and flip-flops getting in before, including myself on previous dates so the inconsistency is real. It’s like he’s on a power trip and genuinely enjoys denying people entry.
So if you’re going to brothers, be prepared: leave your sweatpants, hoodies, and apparently even your relaxed vibe at home. And maybe bring a suit, just in case. Here’s hoping management takes note because security should make people feel welcome, not singled out.

We just left the most agitating lunch at this restaurant. I requested a burger without lettus, mayo, and tomatoes. I mentioned this to the waitress no more than three times and my burger came back wrong twice. My mothers burger was wrong as well, and we were charged extra for the wrong burger (because it was more expensive). The waitress was unhelpful and only told us that "she didn't turn the order in" or " didn't make the ticket". We were tired of being kind and understanding, so that we just paid and left. We will absolutely never come back due to total incompetence.

I visited Ball State as an alumni for the first time in several years. We had a very large group for close to 40 in town for a wedding which also happened to be week 1 of the NFL season so we requested several large tables. We had a server named Marisa that accommodated us. She was nothing short of superb and handled our large group with absolute ease! I can’t say enough about how great she was and how accommodating the entire brother’s staff was. If I could rate the establishment on a scale of 100 I would give it a full 100! Thanks brothers!

I was in town with my family for graduation and had the honor of being served by Seth! He was attentive, never letting our drinks get too low and he made sure to congratulate me on graduating which was super sweet. The food was great too! Thanks for such a great experience during our short stay in town!

Shout out to the kitchen!!!! Hands down some of the best food I have eaten. Usually it's an amazing steak, tonight a Bacon Cheeseburger. I honestly think this is possibly the best burger I have eaten in my 44yrs on this earth. I could eat this every night. It was all so good, but the burger takes the cake. Thanks for another good night filled with good food.

We came here after the eclipse. Only one server but a trainee was there to help and we finally got served and got our yummy food.

The food is good, our server Trina did a great job considering we had a very large group on a busy night.

Disclaimer: this review is for their breakfast only. Disregard for all other aspects.
First of all if you want an "American bar as seen in theaters": this is what I think of. I'm not personally fond of the atmosphere because it seemed somewhat depressing, but it's what I imagine most bars to be like in the morning.
As for the breakfast, I'm going to be blunt: they should open at 11AM. This was, without hyperbole, one of the most disappointing breakfasts I've ever had and especially been served: 1) The pancakes crumbled merely by lifting them up, I couldn't even butter the ones underneath without feeling like I was doing a puzzle, 2) the coffee tasted like it was made from a 30 year old Mr. Coffee with shoe water, 3) and the bacon was hanging on for dear life trying not to be presented as entirely burnt... it was a mess.
I liked the staff and patrons a lot. They seemed down to earth. I felt oddly unwelcome for coming in to eat the breakfast they literally serve, but then again they could just not be morning people and I'm used to grumpy Midwesterners.
On the plus side: I hear their lunches are especially fantastic so hit that up if you're curious. Not that I would after that fiasco of a breakfast, but I still encourage others to try them out and make their own opinion.

2 Filet mignons at our table. Both were over cooked. They must be cheap prepackaged cuts too. Hostess was great. Liked to open atmosphere too.
Men's bathroom could use some updates and cleaning.

I love their food but this will be the last meal I get from there. The cooks acted like it killed them to do their job and literally took over 20min to make it with no other food orders. They raised their prices which fine I understand but they really need to evaluate their portions cause this is ridiculous $2.50 for fries and $3.50 for onion straws as you can see in the pics. Bartender was more concerned about over pouring drinks than to hand me my food which had sat there in the window not to mention drinking on the clock. Onion straws were over cooked and hard.

Wife and I went to Timbers for lunch. My tenderloin was amazing and took up the plate. Fries were great. Wife's burger was cooked perfectly. The staff were very friendly and treated us like old friends. We will definitely be going back and recommending this place to everyone.

Good food, amazing atmosphere, great service. Chill place to eat and have a drink as well

Laid back environment. Always has decent food and a variety of menu items for everyone. Prices are super reasonable. Staff can be a bit hit or miss at times but, for the most part, are always friendly and attentive. Not a huge drink selection but they have the basics covered.

Had a great time for dinner here for my friends birthday! Their $2 burgers are a great deal and the drinks, too! The server we had was super nice and pretty and I wish I remembered her name! We had so much fun and thank you to the host for getting us a booth! It was comfy and we all enjoyed the food and I can’t wait to go back and drink now that I’m 21!!
