"An American neighborhood staple in Brookland, famous for its Colonel burger, home-made pies, seasonal salads, and deviled eggs." - Tierney Plumb
"The Brookland neighborhood mainstay is known for its much-loved Colonel burger (certified Angus beef, pickled onions, Tillamook cheddar, applewood smoked bacon on a brioche bun). Served with fries, chips, or a side salad. Order for pickup or indoor or patio dining." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
"The neighborhood restaurant just expanded lunchtime hours with end-of-week service on Thursdays and Fridays beginning at 11 a.m. New seasonal dishes include burrata and peaches, fried Maryland catfish, grilled octopus risotto, and fried green tomato BLTs." - Tierney Plumb
"This neighborhood haunt sells a Southern-style chicken club with applewood-smoked bacon, mozzarella, tomato, and a Crystal hot sauce remoulade on a brioche bun for $17. Brookland’s Finest offers it with grilled chicken, too." - Tim Ebner, Gabe Hiatt, Vinciane Ngomsi
"The best way to avoid the selfie sticks and matching tee shirts of out-of-towners is to head to restaurants that they have a hard time even accidentally stumbling on, and Brookland’s Finest is that place. Tucked on the corner of a residential Brookland street, the American spot is part sports bar, part neighborhood tavern. Families and couples are grabbing dinner in the dining room, while regulars post up at the bar catching whatever sporting event is on TV. On nice days, folks are out on the patio and the bar windows open up for outdoor bar seating, too." - Omnia Saed
