Brothers of Brooklyn (Miami Lakes)
***** Brothers of Brooklyn, 1547 Northwest 77th Court, Miami Lakes, Florida 33016 (305) 362-6292.
Brothers of Brooklyn is a “bagel-deli” joint…it is open 7 days a week for breakfast-lunch 7am-3:30pm. I’m not gonna describe its decor, if you are 3+ years old, you know exactly what this type of joint looks like. I am not exactly sure how long Brothers has been around, but I have been eating there since 1991. I’m gonna bet that I’ve had breakfast there something like 30 times.
Just so we are straight…Brothers is a neighborhood-type joint. There is absolutely-positively nothing “gourmet” here…so if you are looking for top-notch pastrami/corned beef/brisket this joint ain’t for you. Brothers is the “borderline seedy” (in the good sense) joint where you go for a “standard” cup of coffee-scambled eggs with bacon and a toasted everything with a schmear. Nothing more, nothing less.
Brothers is my kind of a joint. Plain…Simple…Easy Going.
Hey Jeff, have you heard about the new Bagel store set to open 8/10/09 in Delray Beach The Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Co.? A load of buzz about this new place. Thanks.
Sid: Just had a chance to read your post. Yes, I have heard about this “new” joint and have already pre-opening tried some of its stuff. Pretty decent. The joint opened for business this morning at 6am…in the near future I will do a full “taste test” and give you guys a full story.
Thanks for reading…
I worked at ( Brother’s for a few years in the early 90′s. . Jeff you are right on the money dude, the place isn’t fancy , and that’s what makes it a great place to eat a good meal, it is indeed a local bagel joint, Cris and Donna run the place just like old man Speiler taught us, it was because of Big Al Spieler that I became the cook I am today, all the food there is fresh and prepared as it should be. I highly recommend (Brother’s)I have to disagree on one thing you said, the Pastrami’s and corned beef’s are top notch quality, at least they were when I was there.
Anyway, for about 5 bucks you can get a made to order ” REAL” ingredients meal extremely fast and tasty. Try that at a Denny’s right?
I also worked at a Denny’s back in the day, you don’t want to know what goes on in those places!
Happy eating.
