Tomato Brothers

Hubby and I had a very generous lunch today everything was so good and the Portions were very generous 🥗🍝 (I was able to bring food home 😋) and this was from the lunch menu. And the breadsticks 🥖 well let's just say Olive Garden they got you BEAT. Oh! and our waitress Amanda was awesome we never had to ask for anything because she was on top of it ❤️

My daughter and I stopped for dinner on a Thursday around 4 45. I was surprised to see that there were several people waiting that early in the day, but the wait was short (within 5 or 10 minutes everyone was seated). The service was fabulous and the food was as good as it always is! The only thing that let us down was the calamari (pictured). The calamari to pepper ratio was way off, as there were SO many peppers and the calamari was soggy, but the flavor was great. My daughter ordered a cheeseburger and I got the Shrimp and Scallop Provencal with a ceasar salad. I also ordered Fettuccine Alfredo with Blackened Chicken and a ceasar salad with anchovies to-go. The food was great when we got home (we had a 45 minute drive). All-in-all super happy with the visit as we always are!

This was a first time visit for me and I have nothing but GREAT things to say! We drove about 50 minutes to eat here after I heard good things about this restaurant from a friend. The food was great, especially the breadsticks- those are a MUST have. Also, the service was superb! We did not have to wait for a table, got right in at lunch time on a Friday. All of the staff were very friendly from the moment we entered. Our waitress was wonderful (I wish I could remember her name) The entire environment was a good experience! Will be back someday soon so the rest of my family can try this restaurant.

I usually review on Yelp but I know the three great managers ( K, T and Z) like Google. The food is excellent and my family has dined here fior decades! I order spaghetti with meat sauce and almost become that little kidwho eats his “pagetti “ and gets it all over the place. No way in Hell, Michigan if you see the size of T, he’d pretzelize me! LOL always a great staff. Tonight we were served by Gabby who is very well trained with a great personality. At times this place can get busy but it is worth the wait! Psst the bread sticks are their big draw. Bon Appetite ! Oops it’s Italian, Ciao!! (T, Santa is watching you!) Update May 6,2022 I have reviewed Tomato Brothers several times over the years, but this last visit would be an exception to my regular review. Our server, Sebastian, was an exceptional and caring waiter. You can tell that he is personable and is well trained. He took care of our concerns and basic needs as we dined on their famous mostaccioli and chicken parmigiana. The Caesar salad was really delicious with just enough dressing not to overpower the salad and with extra parmesan cheese per my request excited my taste buds. I watched Darryl, our adjacent waiter, assist a wonderful group of ladies celebrating a birthday, He too showed an exceptional professional demeanor that displayed the high-quality Tomato Brothers has for their guests. Zach, the manager on duty was exceptional supporting his staff with helping serve dishes. I have chatted with Zack before and I enjoy his sense of pride in this place but some other employee who I won't expose asked if I did a review to actually tease Zack by telling people that he was an "obnoxious boss," in pure jest of course, but I laughed and said I might do it just for fun. Zach has a wonderful sense of humor and enjoyed my last review a month ago. Zach, forgive me. But I want to stress something that occurred that reinforced my high regard for this staff. As I was washing my hands in the bathroom, I didn't realize I was really coughing. A gentleman walked out of a stall and as he approached asked if I was okay. He knew I was coughing a lot possibly by a much-needed upcoming abdominal surgery I needed. He was truly concerned. "Could he get me anything?" "Did I need help?" Understand, I am a former EMT, and I was a little taken aback in a good, surprising way because it was usually me trying to assist others in need with these questions. I thanked him and said I was okay. I then told him to have a great meal thinking he too was dining here. He looked my way with a pleasant smile and said that he worked in the back kitchen. Chris introduced himself to me. I asked him for permission to mention him in this review. He was hesitant. He asked if he needed me to take a photo, I declined because I want to protect him and others from having their photo misused on the internet. Chris finally agreed. Chris expressed an unselfish concern for my safety and health. He simply worked the back helping the cooks and anyone else back behind the counter. Chris exemplified like Sebastian, Darryl and Zack with the others working the shift, what it means to be an outstanding and exceptional employee. I love dining here. I tease managers Tom and Kenny (and Zach) for being Santa and that they are always on my good list. Tomato Brothers is a gem among the Livingston County eateries. Easy access from I-96. You cannot beat their famous bread sticks.

So, so very good. Service excellent, food excellent, atmosphere eggggggcellent!!! I was in Brighton and looking for a brunch place and we found a good one. I had a Tito Bloody Mary oh, nothing too fancy but a couple of good sized olives, lime and lemon slice garnish. The soup of the day was cabbage soup. It was a nice broth packed with cabbage. They also had rainbow trout for daily lunch specials. It was lightly grilled on a bed of rice and very tasty. Fresh (I think steamed) green beans. Perfect crunch texture. My friend had the meat lovers Stromboli pizza. I'm sure that too was delicious because from across the table it looked very good. This is a great restaurant oh, we will be back here.
