| - We went to Brother's with a craving for pasta. We read reviews on other sites online and most were positive. So, we were expecting to have a good experience. Not so much...
The waiter we had was horrible. I'm not sure he knew his name, much less anything else. I ordered chicken fettuccine alfredo at first. After ordering, he told me that they were out of chicken. Then, I asked if they had shrimp they could put on the fettuccine instead. He said, 'sure'. Then he comes back and says that the only kind of shrimp they have is breaded shrimp and wanted to know if I wanted that on my pasta. I clearly did not want breaded shrimp alfredo and told him so. He then informed me that they did, in fact, have chicken after all. A whole case, in fact. So, I ordered chicken fettuccine alfredo.
We ordered mozzarella cheese sticks for an appetizer and waited about 30 minutes for them to arrive. After presenting us with our sticks, the owner comes over and gives us a plate of garlic knots 'on the house'. We soon found out that we got the 'on the house' knots because they had obviously wrongly made them for another order about 2 hours previously and didn't have anything else to do with them, so they gave them to us. Besides being cold and hard, the garlic knots were absolutely awful. The garlic was so powerful that it was spicy hot and overpowered everything else.
On to the main dishes....eventually. It took over an hour for us to receive our main dishes. My mother-in-law got veal parmesan and the meat was overdone and completely awful. My husband got cheese tortellini and a side of italian sausage. The sausage was severely undercooked. My chicken alfredo was some of the most awful pasta I've had in my life. The noodles were super chewy and the chicken was dry as hell.
No one ever asked us how our food was. Probably because they knew our answer would not be 'great, thank you.'. And if they didn't know, they didn't care. So, we paid our bill and went on our way.
Post- dining experience...
My whole family hung out in the bathroom (separately, of course) for quite a while after our trip to Brother's. If you don't want to suffer the same fate, pass on the Brother's dining experience.....
