  Ordered a second time and food was dry and flavorless. Now I am discovering that they are inconsistent with preparing their food. Also, they do not pay attention to detail. First time I ordered(see previous review) they forgot my avocado that I had paid extra for. This time they forgot cheese, which again I paid extra for. They always delivery early, but the food was so nasty this time that I am now turned off by this place!!  Tasted like the chef was asleep while preparing my meal.
  
  The Lucky Grill has a 2.00 dollar delivery fee and no minimum. For breakfast, brunch etc
  
  Consistent food items are guacamole and their regular salad.

  In the couple of years since I wrote my initial review of this place I've had more time to sample the eats at this establishment. While the Lunch/Dinner options aren't the best around I will wholeheartedly whore their awesome breakfast selections. I've had many of their options, but my favorite is their phenomenal Biscuits & Gravy. It's absolutely magical (yes, I said magical). Whenever I get a craving for the dish this is the first place I think of.
  
  Do it.

  Ordered delivery yesterday.  Thoughts:
  
  Girlfriend ordered pancakes.  She said they were very good, but nothing special.
  
  I had the steak and eggs.  Steak had a bit of gristle and was fatty, but was overcooked.  Might be different if I had eaten it while still hot, but overall way too chewy.  Hash browns had almost no flavor, even a small amount of salt would've helped.

  Unfortunately many of their reviews are for delivery so they grossly over rate the diner as a whole.  Its diner food by the way.  It looks like a hole in the wall but is better than most others.
  
  Its actually called Gastro brothers. Not sure if Gastro is their family name or they are trying to confuse customers with word play.  I couldn't find one employee that could explain it to me or the wacky drawing of two brothers riding a camel.  It's a wild sign and I can't imagine anyone other than locals or those ordering off Grubhub would care to randomly try.  
  
  About the food; its alright.  Well breakfast was, although both of us had bad heartburn later in the day.  I had a breakfast burrito with chorizo and ham, the guys were cool about putting both inside.  I have not had a decent breakfast burrito since leaving California.  It's ridiculous that we deal with sub-par burritos here.  (Ha.) Had that with a side of perfectly formed pancakes.  Perfect.  Buddy got some breakfast hash.  They gave us two huge mugs of (okay) coffee.  I would bet they don't often get passers-by that stop in, so they were kind of surprised and truly grateful that we visited.  The diner area is tiny with fewer than five tables with two seats each.  Telemundo playing on a television we all could see.  A place a guy or kid may grab a quick bite.  We were in the area and quickly scanned our mobile phones for somewhere new to try, which is why we visited.
  
  Street parking here is free.

  This is the worst place ever! First they lied about when they received our order. Second our food was over an hour late and they wouldn't take responsibility for it. And finally the food was cold, unseasoned and tough. I will never order from here again!

  Never been to Brothers the place, but I also order through GrubHub often.  I think the breakfast is among the best you will find for delivery.  I can't speak for the place itself as I have never been.  I normally get the Country Skillet with scrambled eggs.  The quesadillas aren't bad either.

  absolutely horrible food... inedible. was so disappointed with everything we ordered, and we weren't even looking for something gourmet, just edible and good enough to soak up the hangover. Fries were cooked, chicken salad sandwich didn't have walnuts in it like it said it would, and milkshake tasted like it was made with bad milk.

  We ordered breakfast through grub hub and I was very pleased. It came in half the time they said it would and it was VERY hot and fresh. It tasted good and I have to say they made over medium eggs to perfection! I would definitely order again on another lazy day.

  I get delivery from here once a month or two, and it's reliably tasty, with very quick service (though I live only 1/2 mi away, YMMV). I'm partial to the turkey reuben and good-sized tacos. I've had a couple burgers and they were just fine. Haven't had the breakfast, don't really plan to.
  
  The food and delivery would make a 4 star review but I made the mistake of eating in awhile ago (with my out-of town folks who wanted something simple and close). Err, clearly this place is run by dudes. I don't know what other reviewers were saying about art on the walls - my experience was like Bob D's in that it looked pretty run-down and I didn't see a single thing on the wall. My dad used the restroom; when he came back to the table and my mom got up to use it he said she'd better wait.
  
  Guys, if you're reading this, I like your food. But take some pride in the place you serve it from. My in-person visit kept me away from them for a bit, but I'll still get that turkey reuben delivered now and then.

  My awesome wife ordered me breakfast for my birthday since she was out of town.  The delivery guy was very nice and wished me a happy birthday.
  
  I was delivered a tasty chorizo skillet, a fully loaded veggie omelette with hash browns, a full stack of blueberry pancakes, sausage, biscuits in gravy and a breakfast taco.
  
  It was all delicious.  I even saved some of the omelette and skillet for the next day (had to! So. Much. Food.).
  
  I do have to say the coffee was very sub-par.  I will have to try the coffee in their shop to really say - but breakfast with bad coffee is kind of a let down... (hence the maked down star).
  
  But again - breakfast delivered is pretty f'ing great.

  Yelping is somewhat akin to becoming a parent.  Any one can and will do it.  From ultra paranoid germaphobes to members whose brains have shrank from syphilis.   Extreme?  Perhaps.  I am sure there has been a time when Yelp has failed miserably for you.  Expectations let down?  Now your with me,  lets proceed.
  
  The great Fernando once spoke of self loathing.  The kind you get from entering a place and not just turning around.  Even worse,  when it is suggested by someone smarter than yourself and you reassure them,  " don't worry baby,  I heard from Yelp the food is the star."   Yes,  that kind of self loathing.
  
  I believe there are 9 reviews for Brothers,  8 are four stars.  One is a three star that hints to the others possibly overrating the food.  Possibly?  You were my one chance to avoid this experience and you failed me.   Christopher,  I call you to be shunned!  With he others that have rated this abomination four stars.
  
  The sign is a stark warning of the quality within,  neon green with black lettering it looks like a tattoo parlor in suburban Dayton Ohio.  You know the one that specializes in removing half the crap they have etched into your malnourished arms.  Upon approach you notice streaks all over the windows,  a dirty door.  The room is empty,  looks like a tire shops waiting room.  The server was a very jolly fellow and I have no service complaints.  There was not one thing on the walls,  maybe they are between exhibitions.  Tables dirty,  ceiling stained,  floor dirty,  and then the smell,  the sewer/grease trap smell evenly mixed with dirty rags and bleach.
  
  I order two eggs,  bacon and a side of corned beef hash browns,  praying to the food gods that it is not from a can.  The presence of a corned beef sandwich on the menu gave me high hopes. (keep in mind,  my usual south side breakfast joint cures and smokes their own corned beef)   My girl gets a breakfast burrito and a side of chorizo hash browns,  sounds promising.
  
  The hash was mealy,  greasy,  and flavorless.  You should never have to add salt to a dish with chorizo in it.  My hash,  I was having fond memories of scraping out the Alpo like hash from a can as a child.
  
  The eggs,  runny whites,  the bacon,  an off taste like the back of a refrigerator.  Last but not least the burrito that one Yelper describes as "awesome".  So absolutely brutally hot it was inedible for five minutes,  the only way to make something this hot is to give it a minute or two in the microwave.  The only reason to microwave it is to heat up already cooked ingredients.  After proper cooling time it was realized that this was wasted time,  this was not worthy of consumption and left for the rats that I am assuming inhabit this place nightly.
  
  The coffee was good,  but the food lacks any kind of care and i believe you are taking a risk eating here.  Disgusting.

  We have been looking for a nearby breakfast place for awhile and are pleased with what we found at Brothers.  At first glance, we were unsure we were in the right place.  The outside is very understated and the inside is about as minimalistic as a restaurant can get.  However, my party was very impressed with the food and the service.  The breakfast burrito was fantastic and the eggs, sausage, and chorizo were all excellent.  The coffee was nice and strong.  I believe that Brothers specializes in delivery so I may try that option next time.  Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for breakfast in the Avondale area.

  What cool little place.  They have the work of local artists on the walls. They serve and deliver breakfast all day.  They have multiple vegitarian options if that's how you roll and use recyclable and biodegradable paper and carry out products. Hanging from the center of the ceiling is a plastic banana/ wire coat hanger butterfly.  I say again, what a cool little place.
  
  I'd been meaning to stop and check them out for some time.  The green and black hand painted sign looks like it would be outside a tattoo parlor and screams "I could be awesome".  So when I was right there and needed to pull over to have a pacing, animated phone call I decided to sneak a peak and check out the menu I'd noticed taped to the window by the door. l was a little startled when as I approached the door, at 8:20 am, a man opened it and smiled.  I didn't expect them to be open and now I'm inside.  So I did what I do best... ordered a bunch of food.
  
  The American Skillet was hearty with well seasoned corned beef hashbrowns as a base.  The thick French Toast was delicious and topped with carmelized walnuts.  The space is small and far from swanky.  But the staff was super nice and the food was great.  Did I mention THEY SERVE AND DELIVER BREAKFAST ALL DAY?  
  
  The whole menu is interesting.  Fish Burger? I don't know?  Falafel Taco Dinner? What is going on here? Banana milkshake and homemade ice cream cookie sandwich?  Oh my.  The more I dig, the more I dig it.
  
  I thought I was checking out a burrito joint. Instead I found my new go to place for delivered eggs and syrup when my service industry hours or personal irresponsibility leave me unable or unwilling to make them for myself.
  
  Honestly though, they had me at plastic banana/ coat hanger butterfly.

  Found this lovely breakfast delivery service on Grub Hub.  It was fantastic.  My friends and I didn't feel like braving the Sunday morning brunch crowds so we looked this place up on Grub Hub.  We called in our order and 40 minutes later, breakfast was delivered, piping hot, to our front door.  The food was pretty good as far as breakfast goes, and it is nice that they have other options for people who want something besides breakfast cuisine.  Besides the yummy food, the business seems to be fairly green with their biodegradable paper containers and plenty of veggie options

  The food is really good. We've tried the burgers, burritos, and everything in between. My wife loves their breakfast. The only thing that disappoints me is that they are only open until 2pm on Sundays.

  Yay for Brothers!  I recently found them on GrubHub.  This is the best breakfast delivery joint I've found in the city yet.  I mean, where else can you order a chocolate milkshake on Sunday morning?  :)  
  
  The brioche french toast with fruit compote and walnuts is sweet and delicious.  I've had all sorts of breakfast stuff including yogurt with fruit and granola, omelettes, hashbrowns, bacon, sausage -- and everything is quality.  
  
  I've never heard of this place outside of GrubHub and don't believe I've seen it in-person, which surprises me because the food feels a little fancy-pants...and yummy.  
  
  They claim to make all of their deli meats daily on-site and the turkey sandwich (homemade turkey, provolone, tomato, romaine lettuce, and onion on Portugese bread) lunchbox (with potato chips and a homemade cookie of the day) for $5.99 is a great healthy and affordable lunch option.  
  
  My experience with the service has been good -- delivery normally takes the standard 45 minutes to an hour.

  If you know me, you know I like alliteration.  Brothers, Breakfast, Brunch, Burgers.....What about Burritos and Bangin' Bmexican food?  Ordered off grubhub and was totally surprised with the results.  When it comes to messican food, it's hard to please me, because 1st of all I have to be in the mood.  And very rarely am I in the mood.  2nd of all, I prefer the hole in the walls that serve homemade horchata out of a bucket, tacos with choice of meat, cilantro and onions....etc.  If your burros and quesadillas are that good, and not even part of your alliteration, i'm pretty sure the rest will be the same.  So, by taking me by surprise and with your super fast delivery.....you have earned your 4 stars.  Cheers!

  This place is awesome. They have the best french toast I have ever had. Its super thick and not too heavy. My boyfriend had the potato skillet with veggies and he loved it!!! And the best thing is that they have breakfast all day long. Definitely recommending this place. Next time i will try their Falafel burrito.
