Stage 12 at Brookshire Brothers — Local services in College Station

Came here for the first time with my kids. Basically, a medium sized grocery store conveniently located in the vicinity of the Texas A&M apartments and school. Gas and the food are pretty cheap, the groceries not so much. Definitely can find cheaper groceries from HEB and Krogers. I must say that the food is pretty reasonable for the amount of food you get and the quality. HEB and Krogers got some hot deli items as well, but Brookshire Brothers, I feel are on a higher level. They have BBQ, sushi, pizza, salad bar, and fried stuff. We ended up ordering 12 pieces of fried chicken, 1lb of fried catfish (8-10pcs), large mash potatoes w/ gravy, and medium mac'n cheese. The breading on the chicken and catfish are very flavorful, although, it might be too much breading, but it was perfectly fried, that it tasted like a part of the skin. The downfall for me, is I wished that they served the bucket chickens with just dark meat instead having to get breast and wings. The staff also informed me that if you're ordering anything more than 12 pieces of chicken, I'd have to phone order it in because it takes approximately 17 minutes to fry. I'll definitely be back because like I stated earlier, pretty decent price for the amount of food I got. I paid less than $50 for all the food I ordered for my family.

The staff are very friendly. The parking lot is huge. They have a dining area upstairs and a bar downstairs where you can watch...

A difficult 4 stars. The concept is awesome, the produce and deli were popping, the store was clean. To the untrained eye, the place looked packed with people. It was difficult finding a parking space. Once inside the store, it was like a ghost town. In reality, the parking spaces were occupied by A&M students using the free wyfy in the balcony, who were purchasing nothing.... I didn't see nor feel the atmosphere (nor products) of a store on college campus trying to cater to the demographic. It was more set up for family shopping than for young single college students. The atmospheric music wes soft and quiet in the background, as opposed to other establishments that have fun, vibrant colors and modern music piped throughout, at a volume that the younger generation like. But it's a really cool store and with a little tweaking it could be an attraction, a go-to destination that sets it apart from any conventional...

A well organized grocery store - with a great history on the property displayed upstairs in the lounge area. Produce is on one side and already prepared entree meals - for eat in or take away are on the other side. Readily available: Aggie Gear, bagged ice, lots of snack options and bakery goods that look yummy. A complete Vegetarian section in Produce department- check it out. Refrigerator style glass cabinets for meat, dairy and other cold items 🙌🙌- So much better for meat preservation. There is a great lounge area upstairs grouped in seatings for 4 or 8. Study tables too- with plugs for computers. The “Stage 12” is novel- a concert at a grocery store? The TVs had sport’s on so it is like a sports bar too.. with food and beverages easily accessible. Restrooms available up and down stairs. Welcome Back to College Station...
