I wish I found Brodie's when I first moved to Peabody.  I had been driving by it forever and always wanted to stop in.  I finally did about a year ago and this place is now part of my regular restaurant rotation.  You really can't go wrong here. Laid back, casual atmosphere.  Lotta locals at the bar.  The food is inexpensive, portions are good-sized and when you order a Captain n Coke, you actually get a good amount of Captain in your Coke (huge plus).  I have yet to have a just OK meal here.  They've ALL been real good.  If you're getting apps, don't pass over the portabellas.  I always change up what I'm getting here (kick-ass specials every night) but I always start off with the portabella app.  A good time all around. I've never stopped in for lunch so I haven't had the parking problems other reviewers had.  At night, there's plenty of on-street parking.  There's also a public lot a stone's throw away on Foster Street.  Definitely stop in  next time you're in the neighborhood.  And if you live near Brodie's, there is absolutely NO reason for you to ever eat at a sh*thole 99 restaurant or other chain pub/restaurant again.  EVER.  Enjoy =)
