"Came in at 1pm and they were still serving breakfast! The chorizo and onion scramble was full of flavor. My wife got the French toast which was fantastic. Highly recommend — especially if you're staying at the lodge!"

"So happy to see Brookdale Diner back! We had the Monte Cristo and a Reuben with fries — both absolutely delicious. Comfort food done right. Larry took such great care of us. Popped next door to the lounge and cozied up by the fireplace on a rainy day — perfection."
