Brothers Three

They didn't get our online takeout order automatically. Instead, I got an email from ToastTab telling me to call the restaurant because they hadn't acknowledged the order. When I called the restaurant, they apologized and got the order started, but I had to wait around for about 15 extra minutes. They did apologize, and they did get our order entirely correct, including a massive number of individually packed sauces! They also did a great job of separating out the hot and cold, including separating the burgers from the buns/lettuce/tomatoes/pickles, which was nice. Good quality bar food, especially the onion rings and boneless wings. Fried pickles were actually pickle fries, which was kinda cool (but maybe would be better fresh, in restaurant). Fried cod fish fry was ok (probably should have gone for perch or bluegill). Cheese curds and fries were standard (good enough). Bacon cheeseburger was good (not great), but cooked perfectly. Overall really satisfying meal, but nothing too special.

Visited on a Thursday night. Inside was cozy, and we were able to snag the back corner both which gave off a wonderful secluded vibe. I had the meatloaf, which was super flavorful and moist. I swapped my potatoes out for green beans which were also fantastic. The beans were cooked perfectly (not mush) and still had the tiniest bit of snap to them. Out server was super attentive, but not annoying which is the goldie-locks zone for restaurant service. Well defiantly be back again! 🙌

Oh the gravy is sooooo good here! I’m such a fan of their country fried steak and biscuits and gravy. The Bloody Mary is delicious as well - ask for horseradish as it gives it more of a kick. It’s a great breakfast spot for third shift workers who need a beer before bed or a bit of socializing when everyone else is in the office. A gem of a place!

We hadn't eaten food from Brothers 3 in a long time and thought we'd order pickup after the market. The app we used allowed us to choose a time for pickup, so I ordered a 12:15pm pickup at 11:15-ish while I was thinking about lunch. We arrived at 12:20p for pickup and the food was ready. Since we were so hungry, we sat in the car and started eating. You know you can tell your food was made waaay too early if your fries are cool and limp and your onion rings are greasy and soggy with no crunch whatsoever. The burgers were lukewarm. The app allows you to order the meat done the way you'd like and extra toppings. I ordered medium well and it was well done and dry. The other burger was ordered medium rare and was medium. Both burgers were ordered with extra toppings. Both were missing the mayo, or there was so little added it wasn't noticeable. Brothers burgers used to be juicy, flavorful and worth going back for. Sadly, there are better burgers to be had on the Eastside. Perhaps if the food would have been hot like it was just made, we would have enjoyed eating it. My hunch is that the order was cooked shortly after it came in with no regard to the actual pickup time. We won't be returning as there are many places for a juicy burger in Madison.
