Uncle Julio's Brookfield — Restaurant in Brookfield

If you're looking for South of the Border environment then this is the place for you. Located at the South end of Brookfield Square Off the Frontage Road of Moreland Avenue . With beautiful gaslighting and fireplaces to hardwood tables and being surrounded by beautiful fresh food you'll enjoy sharing a meal with friends and family. Before you go make sure to go online and join there Point program as you will receive free guacamole made at your table that is just fantastic! This restaurant you'll need to make reservations if you want to get a table before 3 in the afternoon. I had to make them a week in advance for a Party of Five. The place is packed and very popular. The ambiance is very uplifting and the lighting you have a number of options. Near the windows is more natural lighting closer to where they make the different foods from scratch in front of you is darker with LED lighting. Then in the summer you'll have outdoor seating for a full serving of vitamin D well you eat your delicious meal. Menu prices here are comparable to any upscale big box restaurant. There is one soup for $8 and no other soups. There is one vegetarian choice of cheese and onion enchilada of which my plate with the sauce came with pieces of meat. So if you don't eat meat be careful to look at your plate before you eat. One other note is that the meat is grain-fed as posted on their menu and they use a lot of skirt meat cuts. This menu is not to compatible with people who would be on a vegan, vegetarian, Wheat Belly, or gluten free. The staff who work here are five star. Everyone is helpful and accommodating to whoever walks in the door. Unlike other big box restaurants you can tell the server's take pride in the specialties of their menus and environments. The doors here are wide enough for walkers and some mobile wheel chairs but wouldn't be able to accommodate a skooter. For as large as this restaurant is there is only one handicap stall and so a woman had to change her baby's diaper outside the restroom on some chairs, due to the fact that the only changing table was in the handicapped restroom. There are only three stalls total. However the aisles around the table are much more accommodating than many other restaurants in the immediate area. The handicap parking is beautiful and ramp accessible that gives you easy access in and out of the restaurant. They have a full top shelf bar, with fun specialty drinks . They are not pushy in moving tables quickly, and the environment is good for hearing impaired people because the background is not too noisy and you can actually hear people talking at your table.

If you're looking for a very different dessert experience and are willing to pay $30 and split it between those at the table you will love the pinata dessert. It is a chocolate sphere that you hit with an actual little bat and out comes tumbling beautiful fresh fruit and other sweet treats. It's enough to serve at least three to four people. All in all this is a fun place to go 4 enjoying friends and family on a special occasion or after a movie or...

My friend and I went for dinner and it was the worst experience. I have been to this restaurant many times and never received This type of service. I’m not sure if the management team has changed or what’s going on at this place. We were the first people sitting in a section in the back by the bathrooms, It took 10 minutes for a server to even greet us. When she did greet us, she was pleasant and took our drink order and came back with our requested waters and my friends soft drink. We asked to order our food then because we were very hungry. I assumed the bar was making our drinks, And we wanted to get our food rolling. She brought our drinks back. But then from there, we were waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and then all of a sudden she showed up at our table with guacamole telling us that they had a meeting in the kitchen, by this time we had already been waiting an hour for our food. Our reply was, why would the restaurant be having a meeting during a dinner rush? Shouldn’t they be taken care of the customers? Another 45 minutes past and we still didn’t have our food and everybody around us that had been sat within the hour and 45 minutes that we were there had been served and many were leaving or on their dessert. Finally, our food came out we both ordered the same thing, fajitas, and it was cold and not sizzling, and it was brought to our table by somebody, who I don’t even know who it was, and she just dropped it on our table, and didn’t say a word, and I felt the food it was cold, and I said this food is cold. We do not want this fajitas are supposed to be sizzling. She didn’t say anything she just grabbed the fajitas put them on her tray and walked away. It was the hottest thing we were like OK bye 😂. At this point we decided that we wanted to leave And take our business elsewhere. So, I stepped away from the table to use the restroom and they came back with what was probably the same food reheated to a sizzling status, but we said we did not want it, and the manager came to our table after trying to hail her, but she was seemingly ignoring us. We wanted to pay for our drinks and go, but she said we could just go And that the drinks were on the house. I am a former food service industry worker I have worked in the front of the house, and bartender for over 25 years. I’ve worked in the corner places and the finest places in the city, and I have never known any protocol like this when handling these types of situations. I know what proper protocol and ways to handle situations like this are and they most definitely should’ve handled it differently, it was almost surreal. Do better...
