I am in Tulsa for a conference and while on the plane I was talking to a local.. He suggested BBD for breakfast. He said that it was some of the best breakfast in town. He was right! This place was a blast. Definitely had a mom & pop feel. Great food at great portions. Including a giant cinnamon bun! All of the food had a fresh, homemade taste. One of the best parts of BBD however was the staff. Not only did they take care of our order promptly.. They answered all of our questions and were very entertaining in the process. They made a lot of jokes with us and with each other. If you get a chance while in Tulsa, check out BBD - you won't be disappointed!

After all the good reviews of this place, I found it very mediocre. I had a veggie omelette, biscuit and gravy and homefries. It was all very bland. I needed hotsauce just for some flavor. The service was good, but this place is not even close to the best breakfast in Tulsa. Give me the Blue Dome Diner anyday.

My wife, daughter and I went for brunch and were excited at first - seemed like a great local place, but the service was bad - slow and the waitress didn't take my daughter's order down and we felt the food was just okay - nothing to rave about. Food and experience was not worth the price!
(1)Tess M.
Always Always Always super packed! Good food and fun atmosphere! Food is nicely priced and can get something good for under $10! Be sure you have time to wait if you are going on the weekend its fills up and there is a waiting list. Moves fast but still!

Brookside By Day is probably the most neighborly spot on Brookside. Every time I'm there I see comradery among the people there. It's that feeling that everyone has been there before and they come here often. Probably because it's a nice little place to hang out. I always stop in for the breakfast. I know they serve other things but to me, this is a breakfast spot. It's fairly priced and the food is fairly good. It's not a "knock your socks off" type of restaurant but it's a dang good place to get pancakes. The other notable thing about this place is the service. Everyone that works here is a champion server. You will be hard pressed to run out of coffee or water when you eat here. The place is not much to look at but if you need a basic good breakfast on Brookside try it out. It has become a go-to spot for me.
(4)Carrie O.
One of the yummiest breakfast places out there, Brookside by Day is a place I miss now that I don't live in Tulsa! Honestly I can't remember everything I've ever had there, but in the multiple trips that I've taken there, I've never been disappointed. They have a nice outdoor area to eat (or at least they used to!), too, that's great for watching people walking by on sidewalks. I highly recommend going to BBD for breakfast if you haven't been! I remember it being very nicely priced too.

We tried this place on high recommendation from friends. We arrived to find the place packed to capacity but were promptly seated, my guess is that the staff takes the "no camping" sign on their shirts to heart. So far so good. Inspection of the joint showed a serous need of updating. Fluorescent lighting overwhelmed the dining area in an unnatural hue, there was some filth on the wall next to where I was sitting and some of the ceiling rules showed water damage. I could live with all this if the food was good; how many other greasy spoons have you visited with similar conditions with wonderful food? Well the food is just food, and subpar at that. I regretted ordering anything once I saw the food they were taking to the table next to me, but alas I was already committed. Biscuits looked like they came from a bag, gravy that was hardly proper. I ordered a breakfast burrito that was about as soggy as it was uninspired. Not sure the appeal of this place, but don't have high expectations. Oh yeah, that soggy burrito? 9 bucks! Save your money and go to some of the much better restaurants in the area.
(2)Mike M.
The place was busy and the waitress was wonderful BUT they didn't have soy or almond milk for those people who are trying to cut down on dairy for health reasons. We had to go to another breakfast place because of that no soy or almond milk options. Would love to have stayed and have breakfast but... oh well! Cant say we will be back.. Sorry BBD!
(2)Ann l.
Great homemade chicken noodle soup in the winter. Local favorite for breakfast and lunch. Come as you are.
(4)Madelyn R.
BBD, as the Tulsans call it, it good, not great. Growing up here, my high school friends and I came here once a week for breakfast before school--we were obsessed. The waitstaff are fun, remember you, and know everything that's good. However, after college I moved back to tulsa and took my now husband there who was way under impressed. There is a lot of hype about BBD and frankly it doesn't deliver. It is typical breakfast food. Nothing too special. Now this is never on our breakfast list--you most likely will have to wait for mediocre food and that's just never worth it.
(2)Collin B.
My wife comes here a lot and she loves it. She introduced me today. It was extremely busy when we showed up. And we got sat in a corner. So if you come in a Saturday, come early or be prepared to wait. They have seating outside that Is great if they have room. The food itself was fantastic. I got the Murrito and it was delicious. We also ordered a flask of mimosa for the two of us and it was plenty for 2 people.
(3)Gary M.
It's nice to go to a spot who serves breakfast day & night outside of Denny's & IHOP. I've been here before & had one of their chalkboard specials, which was good. French Toast with cinnamon streusel topping & it went well with the bacon & eggs. This time around, I got their French Toast (Texas style) with hash browns. It was good but wasn't better than the kind I had last time. Their hash browns were real good. You can have options to add nuts &/or fruit for a little extra as well. The prices are very reasonable & the servers were nice. It seems to be more packed in the morning compared to night time. They close rather early as well (compared to other restaurants) so catch them while you can.
(3)Kathy V.
Today was my second time here. I really like it. Fast and friendly service and good food. They even have an awesome group on deal right now, pay $10 and get $20 worth of food. I ordered the eggs Benedict with a side of sausage links. Definitely satisfied my breakfast craving! :)
(4)Lisa E.
I've always heard good things about Brookside by Day, but never have had a chance to eat there until this weekend. I went with a group of 4 other people. They were very busy when we first got there. We stood for a few minutes before the manager walked by and asked if we'd put our name down and pointed us over to a notebook discreetly laying on a table. We signed in with our name and number in our party (5). There were a lot of people, so we expected a wait, but after waiting for quite a while, it was obvious they were passing over us and seating parties similar to our size (4, 6, etc.). Right as we were about to say something, they finally called our name. Upon being seated, we sat a few minutes before the waitress came over. There was still a tip from the previous person on the table and I tried to hand it to the manager passing by and he jokingly said "just keep it", but didn't stop to get it. The waitress finally picked it up when she arrived. My seat was next to a window and stayed pretty drafty throughout the whole meal. The waitress was efficient. She took our order, checked on us as needed, and kept my coffee cup filled, which is always a bonus in my eyes. I ordered the egg, bacon, jalapeno, cheddar scramble with a side of homefries and a biscuit with gravy. The food was decent, but nothing too special. The biscuit and gravy seemed very generic with not much flavor. The home fries were just potatoes fried, with no seasoning. The egg scramble was average. The one good thing is that they put a lot of bacon and jalapenos in it. Overall, I wasn't impressed.
(2)N.C. F.
Had a decent Saturday morning breakfast here. It was really crowded and there was a bit of a wait. The lingering people waiting and servers and others rushing in and out made me feel like I needed to hurry up and eat. In fact, I am pretty sure I overheard a manager talking loudly (on purpose so others could hear) about how if people would hurry up and eat, they could seat all the people waiting. Our server was nice enough, and the food was good. Biscuits tasted fresh and homemade. I am not really interested in going back due to the atmosphere. I much prefer The Savoy if I'm going ot wait that long for breakfast, and the food is better anyway.
(3)Jeremy W.
There are few times in a restaurant that I want to go back in a kitchen and show them how to cook. The omelet was ok, couldn't decide which was worse the biscuit or the tasteless gravy, the grits tasted like they came out of a box that had been in the cabinet too long. It was dirty, looked like a run down Waffle House, service was pretty good and friendly but without a food change I won't be back.
(1)Michael H.
One of the only places in the world that understands the term 'crispy hash browns'. Friendly wait staff, and decent food, though I always wish there was more.
(4)Mrs. TI M.
Great location, nice outside seating, friendly wait staff but our pancakes and eggs benedict were underwhelming. Better pancakes at IHOP or Denny's and that was, possibly, the worst eggs bennie we've ever had. Sauce wasn't spoiled but had curdled from improper technique. The coffee was weak. Left my husband wanting to go straight to Starbucks. Is BBD II better?
(2)Laura P.
great breakfast food (never been here for lunch or dinner), good coffee, and an amiable and attentive staff make BBD one of my top 3 favorite breakfast places in Tulsa. I usually get their omelette with biscuits and gravy, chocolate milk, and coffee.. SO good. Usually quite crowded on weekend mornings and the seating is jam packed, so if you're looking for a quiet breakfast spot, this isn't the place. Very comfortable atmosphere right in the heart of brookside, Tulsa's hoppin restaurant/bar area. What I'm saying is.. you should go.
(4)Whitney C.
We love to come to Brookside by Day for breakfast on the weekends! Word to the wise, it is usually packed, so expect a line. However, it is well worth the wait!! The only meal I have ever had at BBD is breakfast, but it is always great! I love the cinnamon french toast, with home fries and bacon. My boyfriend likes the omelets, breakfast burritos, and biscuts & gravy. The orange juice is very fresh and they always keep your coffee cup full. The portions are large and you will not need to eat lunch that day! Very yummy!! The wait staff is a very colorful group, who are always willing to help. Definitely give BBD a try for your next weekend breakfast!
(4)Adam D.
Me and four of my family members arrived to "the BBD" late on a Saturday morning, finding a packed house. We had our names added to the list. One of our party had been there a couple of times - once for breakfast and once for lunch, both during slower times. For four of us it was the first time, but it may have been the last for all of us. Like I said, it was packed. Normally I don't mind this. I'm patient. I take it as a good sign the wait will be worth it. I understand that I'm not any more entitled to a high level of service than anyone else. What I don't understand is why my group was repeatedly passed over for seating in favor of other parties that came in after us. Not having ever worked in the food service industry, maybe there are issues with the organization of tables and people I'm missing out on. From a customer standpoint, though, it was rude. And as another reviewer mentioned, while waiting I was privy to many negative interactions between the man who appeared to be the manager and other customers (him being the instigator/antagonizer) and among staff ABOUT customers (our very existence seemed to annoy some of them). Once we were seated it took quite a while for a server to come over and take our drink orders. This gave me time to check out my surroundings. What I saw was diner decor. Cheap, tacky-looking furniture and common accessories that all seemed to have a fine layer of dust/grease on them. I've seen better, but I've also seen worse. Our waitress upon arrival and throughout the meal was prompt, quiet, and efficient - things that, not being a morning person, I personally appreciate. ( With servers it's a.m. just the food ma'am, p.m. hey let's be friends.) It wasn't enough to make up for my first impression, though. I know. Get to the food already. I had a 3-meat omelet (bacon, ham, and sausage) with added tomatoes and jalapeños and topped with cheddar cheese. Home fries and a biscuit with gravy came on the side. The biscuit did not seem to be fresh. The gravy was bland. The home fries were just okay. The only thing that made my tastebuds take notice was the omelet, which had good flavor and the right balance of its many ingredients. Which was good because it changed my mind about the place from 'total waste of time' to 'would do in a pinch'. Oh, and it is overpriced. I'd rather have IHOP or, since I'd prefer to eat locally, First Watch.
(2)Lauren D.
Have come here twice with a groupon. It's a really good deal, but a fairly average breakfast. The giant cinnamon roll is pretty delicious as well as the 3 meat omlette. My favorite part of coming here is sitting outside on the patio drinking a cup of coffee and soaking up the energy and ambiance of Brookside. I'd highly recommend trying this place for breakfast or brunch. Coffee is good which is always a must.
(3)Natalie H.
Super friendly, family-like atmosphere. Yummy food!
(5)JD C.
Great breakfast, busy waiters all around, fun atmosphere on a weekend morning. I'm sure they have more popular dishes, but I had the simple 2 egg breakfast with bacon and home fries. My meal was excellent. The location is awesome, right in the middle of Brookside.
(4)Anna F.
I love this restaurant!!!!!! It is very quaint and the staff is super friendly. It is located in the heart of Brookside and has a lovely outside patio. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Truth be told, they are all delicious! For breakfast, I love their Belgian waffle platter. It is just perfectly cooked and has a thick syrup with it. For dinner, I like the burgers and also the chicken fingers. We ate dinner tonight. Kenny had a burger with waffle fries and I had the chicken fingers with fries and cottage cheese I also ordered a house salad with honey mustard dressing. It was all very good and the service was prompt. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. The prices are great and the food is delicious.

BBD seems to have questionable health standards. We went there about a month ago and noticed that one of the employees by the kitchen window was touching and rearranging the food on customers' plates before the plates were sent out to the dining area, so we left before ordering. We returned today thinking that perhaps we were too hasty.... but once again noticed an employee placing a biscuit on a plate without any gloves or tongs. Out of curiosity, I went up to a man behind the counter who appeared to be the manager or owner (others here in Yelp have described him as rude with some of the customers). I asked him politely why the employees touch the food, and here's what he said: "Why, do you have a phobia?" I said that I was concerned if the workers touched the food after also touching money, dirty dishes, the counter, without washing their hands, etc. His next response once again deflected my question: "Do you always wash your hands when cooking at home?" I said that I do. He then asked if I was a health inspector. I replied that I was just a customer. At that point he said that they tell their employees to wash their hands, but that there's no way to ensure that happens all the time... and that even though I may not see what goes on at other restaurants, in reality employees touch food everywhere and this simply can't be avoided. I was definitely left with the impression that this guy didn't think it was a big deal, that it can't be stopped, and that even raising the question was a potential sign of phobia. Talk about being defensive!! Using tongs or gloves would be a simple way to not touch the food.... so considering that BBD is a bit dirty, and that there isn't much regulation of touching food with bare hands, we won't be going back.
(1)Kate B.
Such a great experience! Like many others who have reviewed, I've heard great things about Brookside By Day, but unlike some of those others, I realize that this is a small, family diner. It's popular, and the food is tasty and cooked home style, not from a box or shipped in a box to meet a corporate standard. The food was tasty, made with love, and just as I ordered it. The service was quick, efficient and friendly. I will go again next time I am in Tulsa! Hooray for restaurants and diners with personality and panache!
(5)Long B.
This place just screams mediocre. They had a cool area to eat outside, but one thing they need to do is remove the service area or have it covered with a wall. It's literally next to the front door inside. There's a huge trash area and where all the dirty dishes go. It's just something I don't think a customer wants to see. It gives a bad impression. Cover the area up or get rid of it completely. Never been to a restaurant that has it out in the open. Walking into the place, it's very small inside. The general look is very outdated. I didn't see a sign to see if we needed to wait to be seated or not. They should probably put a sign by the menus. One thing I noticed was how expensive their breakfast is. Most of the dishes were 8-10 dollars. If you're charging that much, it better be a premium, unique breakfast. I'll explain a bit later why I've brought this up. So the menu itself is extremely small and limited. One side is breakfast and the other side is lunch. On one of the walls was a chalkboard with their specials listed. That was actually a good touch and very visible. Our waitress looked like she was the only one in the area, so she looked very busy and really didn't have time to chat with us and smile. Not her fault at all. As for my order, I had a omelette that had all the breakfast meats and it gave you a side choice of house fries, biscuits and gravy or a side of meat. I asked mine with the biscuits and gravy. The time it took was reasonable. About 15-20 minutes which is the norm. When my food came out.... I was just unimpressed by the plating of the food. The food itself looked plain and extremely greasy. Some people might like that, but I do not. It tasted alright, but they don't season their food to give it more flavor or depth. It just looked like a meal that I prepped for myself, and I'm not a great cook. The biscuit tasted something that you can buy at the grocery store. It was not made from scratch. It was not crispy on the outside and buttery. It was just plain. Now earlier I mentioned how expensive it was.. You can find better food at a Denny's or IHOP breakfast chain. They charge far less and it tastes better. I would go else where. This isn't the best spot in Tulsa for breakfast. Weird thing is, it's located in a area where you have great local food and the restaurants look very good.
(2)Ally W.
I go in for weekend breakfast whenever I can and I've never been let down. Simple little place with good food, friendly service, clean, and it's fast. I suggest the chicken fried chicken!
(4)John J.
BBD is a pretty great place for breakfast or brunch. I'm a big fan of 'diner coffee' and they've got it - coffee, cream, sweetener. Nothing fancy! The food is quite good! I usually get an omelette with home fries with a biscuit and gravy. It's actually not TOO much food - just a very full plate. I recommend the spinach, chicken, mushroom, and cheese one. My girlfriend ordered the cinnamon french toast with home fries. The french toast was REALLY GOOD. It had just the right amount of cinnamon and sweetness! The service is always fine - they're usually pretty busy on weekend mornings so you're going to have to flag your waiter down, but they're always very nice and courteous. The last thing I'll add is that a lot of people like their mimosa - have never tried it, but maybe you should. Great breakfast place!
(4)Sarah M.
If you're depleted and need a belly full of food, this is where you should come! Brookside By Day, affectionately called 'the bbd', is something I had already heard of before moving to Tulsa a few years ago. This place is an all out diner. The look, the strong delicious bacon smells, and food will provide home-ee feel. Everything on the menu is reasonably priced considering all of the food you get! I made the mistake of thinking I could eat everything in front of me once... poor decision, you guys. Plan to portion out what will fill you up and take some home to enjoy later. I ordered an omelet which ended up coming with biscuits and gravy and breakfast potatoes. Talk about a carb feast! Service is lovely here and I've never had to wait to be seated. I plan on taking my sweet old grandpa here when he visits and bringing a couple newspapers for us to read while we enjoy a brunch - it's that kind of place.
(4)Quick M.
Ate here for breakfast with a group. Pancakes, waffles, and bacon were quite tasty. Enjoyable experience
(4)Alayna D.
Definitely a "Mom and Pop" establishment. I myself, love breakfast food, but I was kind of unimpressed with BBD. I had heard a lot about it from my friends who grew up in Tulsa (I did not) and I was expecting a little something better. Its always CRAZY busy when I go in. It is a little hard to navigate and, honestly, probably not worth the wait. I will say that the biscuits and gravy are delightful. As an omelet lover, I was kind of disappointed in the omelets, but I'm probably just partial to the ones I make at home ;)
(3)Carrie S.
Loved it! Had breakfast here on a Monday morning. Our waiter was amazing. So much personality. We both did create your own omelets and they were great. About 8 bucks for ingredients of your choice and it was bigger than I could eat. Very family friendly and a nice morning atmosphere. Highly recommended and if I lived in the area I would totally be a regular.
(5)Kevin T.
Nice dining atmosphere, helpful wait staff and some of the best darn pancakes you could hope to get your mitts on. Two thumbs up for this Brookside classic.
(4)Lexi K.
Always full but the wait is short for the amount of customers. Always leaving completely satisfied and in a food coma. I realized this morning, only after my 2nd time here that they have a great bar and they serve MIMOSAS. YAY!
(5)Belvi T.
The food here is great. Not fancy, not gourmet, just good down the middle of the road tasty and satisfying. They obviously have a lot of regulars that keep coming back judging from the conversation and familiarity the wait staff / owner has with clientele. I was annoyed by kids hollering and screaming and running up and down the aisles. They seem to belong to the wait staff which was a negative.
(4)Mrs N.
Seriously?? Someone shows a picture of a supposed service dog WITH ITS HEAD UP ON THE TABLE!!!! Service dogs belong under a table (although this dog was wearing a vest that anyone can buy off Amazon, so I doubt it is an official service dog anyway). Won't be back here again!
(1)Lauren C.
*nods* Now this is what I'm talking about. Mom and Pop, creaky floor boards, casually dressed and pleasant servers, standard yummy, not the healthiest for you menu options (mixed in with better choices, but most people don't choose those when they're going out to eat), and cramped tables and seats forcing you to socialize. A nightmare for some, but perfect for me! Great prices, fresh food, a Tulsa staple!
(4)Michael P.
I like most places on Brookside and I expected this place to please. All I can say is this... A picture is worth a 1000 words. The dirty carpet, tables, salt and pepper shakers that looked as if they have never been cleaned, the menus were dirty and basically the complete lack of effort to clean the place... well I didn't even eat. My friend ate and she said the food was just okay. The wait staff was okay, the host was not organized. Nothing about this place made me want to come back. I am not sure why the health department has not closed them down. I couldn't give a lower score than one star. Décor: 0 out of 5 Food: ? out of 5 Service: 2 out of 5 Cleanliness: 0 out of 5
(1)Jael H.
I'm giving this place two stars instead of one because the hostess and waitress were so nice. Are you familiar with Seinfeld's "Soup Nazi" character? That pretty well sums up the guy I assume is the manager or owner. We didn't interact with him directly while we were there, but waiting for a table, I watched him be straight up rude to so many customers! Rolling his eyes, making snarky comments... customers are the lifeblood of your business. Yeah, don't be a doormat if a customer is really out of line, but being a d--k for no reason is just bad business. Again, the hostess and waitress were super nice, maybe in an attempt to make up for how abrasive this other guy was. Our food was decent, standard diner fare, but at Brookside prices. It was just not worth it and I won't go back. Too bad Blue Dome Diner closed... Freeway Cafe, anyone?
(2)Benjamin P.
This is a Tulsa favorite that I have never quite understood. I have never disliked my food or service, but I don't understand why people go here regularly or at all. The prices are a few dollars more than most other breakfast places in town, and the food quality seems to be lacking. The restaurant looks and smells exactly like they've been serving bacon and fries in it for years. You will wait, especially on the weekend, for a while before being seated.
(2)Jason M.
I brought in the country band I tour with to eat breakfast after finding it on Yelp. I was concerned it might be a little hoity toity for them (I like fancy breakfasts myself), but they were cool with it. It actually has some cool punk memorabilia. The only thing hoity about it was some of the customers. Our server was attentive and down-to-earth and everyone loved their food. The coffee could stand to be a bit stronger, otherwise a good find.
(3)Vivian C.
Just your typical breakfast diner. BBD's is great if you're looking for an every day normal breakfast. I used to come here a lot when I first moved to Tulsa, but have since found a few other places I like a little better. Can't complain though! They give you everything you need and have great service. Come here if you're just looking to grub and spend a little time on Brookside.
(3)Michelle R.
This is one of those places that I really want to like, but every time I'm there it's not good. Our server, Jason, demanded our drink order, slammed down some waters, then brought 2 coffees with spoons in the cup. I don't understand why they put a spoon in the coffee. I like my coffee black, therefore, there is no reason for a spoon to be in the cup. Now, I have a wet spoon that I need to do something with. Ask for extra napkins, get a weird look... Decided to try something different than eggs for once, ordered Belgian waffle and side of bacon. When our food is delivered, the plate with the side of bacon on it is perfectly centered on my waffle, to make it easier to carry, I guess. NOT OK. I could have waited a minute for the bacon. Gross. Took the waffle up to the counter and just asked for eggs. The atmosphere is very loud, even during slow times, thanks to a very loud staff. We no longer sit at the tables near the counter, because it's impossible to have a conversation over the loud staff conversations. I think Jason thought he was charming, he even mentioned a "rapport" with my husband and I. We didn't agree. He was demanding of our orders, rushed us, and was overly familiar at times (called me "love" after the waffle incident - not cool). Oh, and did I mention Jason almost hit me me picking up menus. The other server, that brought the waffle and bacon, almost hit my face with the hot coffee pot while reaching in front of me to warm it up. I have used all coupons for this place. I cannot go back. Like others have mentioned, it's ridiculously dirty, their practices are unprofessional, and its just an uncomfortable place to eat. I'd rather go to Village Inn. So I guess next time I'll just stay home.
(1)Lonna M.
The menu is fairly predictable but I love this spot. Great service and the food is good. If it's on special, try the cinnamon swirl French toast if its on special! It's amazing!
(4)Lizette C.
I can and rather cook a more healthy, better breakfast than what I've eaten here. There is no effort or pride in what they cook. The side of potatoes were terrible. The pancakes tasted like McDonald's pancakes. Do yourself a favor and go across the street to the Blue Moon Cafe to experience quality and a more diverse menu!
(2)Spika P.
Had a cheap brunch there on a weekend day. Food was good, service was nice.
(4)SW R.
I can't help but be excited about finding a place that has delicious fried chicken for dinner (served Monday through Friday only). I try every place recommended for it's chicken and am usually underwhelmed but this place gets the prize. If you love fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy and vegetables you've gotta give it a try. You won't be sorry. And their prices won't break your pocketbook. Great outdoor covered patio for cool weather.

My wife and I enjoy coming here for breakfast after church. We especially come here for the patio ambiance. Been coming here for years even thought the coffee sucks the food and service is great! However today they lost our business when they told us the patio was closed. It was a perfect morning to sit outside weatherwise. So we left. We discovered the blue moon restaurant down the street and had a great time on their patio with really good coffee. Guess where we're going from now on. Duh!

I've been going to this BBD since I started coming to Tulsa 5 years ago. Today was the best it has ever been. My eggs were perfectly cooked: over medium. The cheap, came in a bag pre-cooked, home fries were actually tasty. my patty sausage was good, the waffle was good and the biscuit was decent. Coffee is ok, but it's hot and they provide actual half and half. My 20 month old liked the scrambled eggs, pancakes and waffle. she is pretty picky. It seems like the same people have been working there since I can remember and they provide good service in general.

Great place for breakfast and a good cup of coffee! Homey, cozy atmosphere- same people working all the time so its easy to get acquainted. Servers are fun and they get your food out quick. Great place to take friends and family. Great location on Brookside. Just a yummy, fun, inexpensive diner! Very charming.

Was not too terribly impressed with Brookside by day. They do have plenty of outdoor sidewalk seating but we were inside this day,the carpets are quite worn and drity....cant understand why a restaurant would have carpeted floors. Pancakes were average and omelet was morsel sized, although very tasty with jalapenos. Coffee just OK There's gotta be better breakfast in Brookside

Had florentebe omlett with biscuit and gravy. Kim had a "scramble." the eggs weren't lush enough. We had a single pancake and it a regular diner cake. Coffee was better than hotel coffee, but not super. Biscuits were crispy from being warmed over cause they didn't taste fresh. Better than a waffle house or dennys, but not too good. The waiter was also loud as hell, and overly engaging - the kind of guy who sits down at the table to take orders and calls old folks "kiddo." Said old folks who seemed to be regulars liked this cutesy interaction, though: so it's just us grumpy young folks I guess. From afar their cinamen bun was huge.

What's the big deal? BBD is not the business. What's up with carpet in a restaurant? I went because I saw a line I was like oh it must be good. I had the pancakes..i have made better...Somebody needs to step up their breakfast game on Brookside...

Solid breakfast spot. The service was fantastic and the food was good. The prices were a bit high for the simplicity. The restaurant is in a good area, and I would definitely go back.

Solid food, service and location. It's not going to impress anyone but it's a good place to grab breakfast. There's a lot of seating on the sidewalk. The inside could use a facelift but I guess the "worn" look adds to the character.

Busy place!!! Always a good sign.

Probably not worth the 20 minutes I drove to get here but a nice little family style diner.

Brookside by Day really surprised me on the last visit. The service here is always spectacular, and you always end up with a really cool server. My breakfast was so outstanding last time that I am beginning to think this is one of the best breakfast places in Tulsa. I ordered a single egg with a biscuit and gravy, home fries, and a sausage patty. While this is a pretty simple meal, I don't think it gets better than this. The egg was fresh and perfectly good. Very good. I am a Egg Lover. The sausage patty was juicy tender and full of flavor. The biscuit was light fluffy and made from buttermilk and had awesome texture. The gravy was creamy and the pepper in it gave it the perfect flavor. The biscuit and gravy here are deadly good. So far it was pretty dang good until I began to eat the Home Fries. These are the best Home Fries I've ever had. They were crispy and had a flakey crust with a warm and soft inside. They were seasoned with like a sea salt or something similar to that. The were mindblowing. Literally. My mind exploded and I was asked to leave because I made such a mess. yelp.com/biz_photos/XjB3… My girlfriend had a Omelette. The Omelettes are numbered. I believe this was the number 8. It had Monterey Jack cheese, Jalapenos, Onion and Sausage on the inside. My meal was really good. This Omelette was life changing. The warm melty Monterey Jack on top of the soft egg Omelette stuffed with fresh Jalapeno, Onion and some of the delicious sausage. Everything in this Omelette was perfect and went so well together. Probably the best Omelette I've ever eaten. Crazy Crazy Good! yelp.com/biz_photos/XjB3… This is a must try for any visit to Tulsa.

Cute place, a strange mix of people. It seems like they were trying to hard to "not care." The food was just okay, I've had better at IHOP =). My main thing was the biscuits and gravy. I hope they didn't make that gravy from scratch, if they did, it was a waste of time. It tasted like they used packet gravy you get from the grocery store. I expected better biscuits and gravy in the south and was very disappointed. Everything else is just okay, nothing special. I think you pay for the "atmosphere."

I lived in Tulsa for 15 years and loved this place. Now that I live in Dallas, I make a point of getting by Brookside by Day when business takes me back to Tulsa. I had oatmeal and toast along with a pancake. Trying to eat heathly with good tasting food. This fits the bill. A winner.....

Nice place to eat, not if you don't like dumpy over crowed cafes with slacker looking servers and a grumpy check out guy. Good food except for the coffee which is awful I mean really watery all the time, week after week. I guess yer average sidewalk dining quasi bohemian is too ensconced in the atmosphere to notice but c'mon guys, the coffee sucks....see you next week...

Cute place with a great breakfast menu. Nice big sidewalk patio and really unexpectedly friendly servers. My server substituted sliced tomatoes for the hash browns, as I just haven't been feeling the taters lately (although the pics from Brookside make the potatoes look awfully yum-yum...). No charge, no problem. It's not that way at most places. Cool little 'hood, too. Definitely will be back next time I'm in Tulsa.

I thought BBD was great. My wife and I went for lunch and I had an awesome sandwich! I think the only reason it was considered a sandwich was because it was on toasted bread. Sitting outside on the sidewalk was fun. The employees wear street clothes so don't be alarmed if your aproched by a stranger. It's a bit expensive for breakfast or lunch but Brookside by Day is a great place to try at least once. I'm sure I will go again.

So this breakfast place is down the street from my new casa in T-town so the bestie and I checked it out. We were seated quickly and had quite a character for a waiter :*). We got omelettes as they are my breakfast food of choice. I got the #6...it had chicken, mushrooms, spinich and cheese I believe. It was a good omelette, not great by any means but better than a chain. The breaskfast potatoes were good. The biscuit and gravy were good too but the biscuit fell apart perfectly almost like they were made from a premade dough or something. It was about 20 before tip for the both of us for breakfast. Not bad but I feel a little pricy for the quality. All and all I will likely be back, it is good to have a mom and pop omelette option nearby.

A breakfast favorite of my wife and i's. The chicken frys dishes are more than awesome. Atmosphere us laid back casual reminds me of a resataurant tha could be found in Austin Tx.

Probably a bit biased since I am comparing BBD to a similar joint in my hometown of Austin. I ordered something simple - one egg scrambled with homefries and toast. All three was nothing special - the homefries were a bit on the dry side. I also ordered a single strawberry pancake. Again, nothing special with this pancake. I was hoping that they would have the strawberries INSIDE the pancake like how they do it at my favorite joint in Austin, but they basically just had sliced strawberries on top. Tried a bite of my friend's chicken fried steak, and it was pretty good. The steak to batter ratio was pretty good. I don't think I would go back for breakfast, but maybe for lunch to eat that chicken fried steak. I would've given this place three stars, but I subtracted one because our super friendly waiter was extremely absent minded. They messed up on our order which resulted in us receiving parts of our meal at different times.

I had breakfast here and thought that it was very good. The price was a little high I thought but the food was good and the atmosphere was unique. I would definitely go back.
