Brother's Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Kewaskum

Moved to Kewaskum recently and have been investigating the local cuisine on offer. Stopped here for breakfast on a week day morning. Plenty of warm comfy booths to be had and friendly attentive staff. There are three separate wings to the building you can seat yourself at. One of them has a rather large fish tank. It reminded me a bit of some of the numerous Greek restaurants I've been to in the greater Milwaukee area. Although the food is different. Pricing is about the same. It was quiet inside, despite the busy main drag it is located on.

I had a Farmer's skillet over the American fries, which are a 50 cent upgrade and well worth it! I've eaten and cooked a lot of American fries in my life, and these topped the list hands down. Only thing I might have added to this skillet is some cheese sauce or maybe some Hollandaise. It was great as is though. There is also home made bread and jam here (which has berries and rhubarb in it!) My wife had a gyro/feta omelette, complete with tzatziki sauce. She savored every bite. She's a hound for hash browns and thought they were well-crisped, which is how she likes them. Our friend had a cinnamon roll with her coffee and was very pleased with her treat. Can't wait to try more of their fare here.

I have to add that one of the locals eating at the same time we were saw fit to belch a couple times, which we heard across the restaurant. We had a good chuckle to ourselves. Folks feel well at home here, which is actually kind of heart warming. I've noticed since moving here that strangers passing each other in public aren't afraid to say hello and just start talking to each other about whatever. I grew up in a small Wisconsin town and that's how things were. ...

The waitress greeted me seconds after I walked in, and after ordering, it took literally less than 7 minutes and I had my food. Didn't even read all the comics in the daily paper. 😁 Granted, it wasn't exactly busy, but in my experience, sometimes food takes longer when it isn't busy compared to when it is busy. The food was great! And super cheap!. I spent 12.00 with a very generous tip on that small of a bill. I ordered 2 scrambled eggs, bacon and hash browns with a side of toast. Ordered at 11:01am. Got my food at 11:08 am. Ate, paid the bill and was at my scheduled meeting 3 blocks away before 11:30am. Was finished eating, even chatted a while with the waitress, who was VERY smart!!. Kudos to that young lady, because I will definitely be back because of her. I'm sad I never got her name. (She doesn't usually work on Mondays. Usually only weekends.) I suggest the owners give her a nice raise, (or I may try to poach her for a different position ! 😂) I love small town breakfast and lunch places, and I don't usually review places I didn't like, because I work in the industry. If I have a problem, I won't put it on Yelp or whatever they have now, I'll just tell the people that messed up and give them a chance to fix it. But Monday morning, I was already kinda stressed, and that food and the conversation made my day better. (It kinda renewed my faith in the youth of today that will be running the city/businesses/schools, etc. So...Thank you!! I really needed that dose of reality today. Especially with all the weird and horrible things we all are having to deal with lately. 5...

Unexpected find! We were going through Kewaskum on our way up north. Been through here many times. On this trip we decided to stop at Brother’s Cafe for breakfast.

Brother’s is one of those side of the road diners that often goes un-noticed by travelers. But this place is a little gem when it comes to breakfast.

There is nothing fancy here. Simple and dated decor (which adds to the ambiance), table or counter seating. Great menu with low prices.

Homemade bread. Homemade jam (ask for it).

Everything was cooked perfect.

This is like an American version of Nonna’s (the movie). Lots of older ladies doing the cooking and serving. So don’t expect speed. But expect quality and a great meal at a very good price.

This is one of those restaurants you would drive past without noticing. Our suggestion. Notice it and go there for very good breakfast.

If you’re pretentious or fussy. Go somewhere else. This is good food and a simple atmosphere with locals frequenting the place. Not at all a tourist destination (not that kewaskum is for...
