Never been here before. drove from Chicago to try the food here...we were actually at another restaurant waiting for a table for over half hour when we decided to come here instead. Told there was no wait, and we were seated immediately upstairs. the place is huge - filled with all kinds of interesting decor and old pictures of Europe and 50s-70s style advertising plastered on the walls.we ordered the pretzel battered cheese curds, they just tasted like regular battered cheese curds maybe we were given the wrong stuff I dont know but they were good anyways. We were so thirsty and were kept entertained with endless refills of coke and diet as we waited for our meal. we had the chopped chicken salad along with the salmon salad and our third member got the burger, I cant remember the name of it (theres actually an artistic painting of it in the parking garage), without bacon. the burger came with fries which we all shared and they were absolutely fantastic. they were a little crunchy and stayed warm which was just perfect. these are the best fries Ive ever had I think. the cost wasnt bad but being in the evening at this time of year the sun was shining through all of the beautiful windows right into my face. I suggest sitting downstairs or on the east side of the restaurant if you go in the evenings and dont like angled light. the food was very good, but probably 10% more than I think it should be as far as cost. its still worth it. our waiter *Josh* was very attentive and came back many times. Sat Oct 16 2021. Total bill $65ish with 3 meals, appetizer, large coke, large apple juice.Thank you Josh and crew! Well be back

Yummy brunch option, and a great patio to enjoy the summer weather! We had the special mimosas for the Fourth of July, which were very tasty! Food was excellent, and so many choices offered on the menu. Definitely find something for everyone. I want to return again soon, very much enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

Delicious food and great vibe/ambiance. Meatloaf and burger were on point taste wise but portions were on the small side in my opinion. Service was good. Prices fair. No complaints. Will patronize again.

Im really not sure why we waited so long to go back to Cafe Hollander as it was even better than I had remembered. We had visited the Mequon and Wauwatosa locations before and have never been disappointed. This was our first dinner at their Brookfield location at the Corners. It was a beautiful early Friday evening on July 9th when we stopped by to give this location a try. Cafe Hollander Brookfield, like their other locations, has a modern European gastropub vibe. The restaurant is very big with multiple floors and an AMAZING rooftop outdoor seating area. There were a lot of customers dining but, the place is so big and so well staffed it didnt seem crowded or overly busy. We were greeted and seated promptly and courteously. The service was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Aside from the food, Cafe Hollander has an extensive beer selection with an emphasis on Belgian beers. What was a really nice touch was that each beer I ordered came with a specific glass made for that beer by the brewery - it was cool to drink each beer out of glassware that was designed with the best way to enjoy the beer in mind. We started our meal with the Crispy Brussels Sprouts. This brussel sprout appetizer easily makes it into the top five list of best foods Ive had this year - yes, it is that good. The sprouts are crispy fried and seasoned with an amazing combination of parmesan cheese, pickled peppadew peppers and spicy pepitas. If youre stopping at Cafe Hollander, this is a must-order appetizer. For dinner we had the Big Smokey Burger (nice portion size, gooey smoked Gouda - bacon & avocado with a little kick from the jalapeno BBQ sauce - a seriously good burger) & the Bacon Avocado Chicken Wrap (again, a good portion size with great flavor from the blackened garlic ranch aioli) - crispy well seasoned fries with both. Overall, a spectacular venue and drinking / eating experience - we wont wait as long as we did to return and well definitely be back to explore more of the beer and food menus. Wish I could give more than 5 stars...

Meh… this location is always hit or miss. The pretzel bites were pretty good and different than the norm. I got the meatloaf…. This dish just has too much going on. The meatloaf is already a big flavor palette but there to have broccoli cheddar mashed potatoes and bbq carrots, it was way too much. You need a regular mashed paired with this meal. Otherwise the tastes of the meal was fine, I wouldn’t get it again.

This is my FAVORITE Hollander location...from the rooftop outdoor seating to the spacious lower level and huge bar, all other locations pale in comparison to Brookfield! I rarely wait long (if at all) for a table and the staff provide impeccable service that keeps me coming back again and again. If you havent been here, you owe it to yourself (& wont regret it!) Kudos for the excellent experience, delicious food, and memories made with family and friends, especially during an unthinkable time in our history for the restaurant industry. Kudos to management for thriving during a truly difficult season - you have a customer for life!

Tried this place out for breakfast and it was awesome! Food was really good and fresh, full of flavor! Mimosas were good and strong, which was great. Most businesses charge you and arm and a leg for a drink you can’t taste but Hollander did not disappoint! Dining and even the bathrooms were extremely clean! Will definitely visit again!!

My mother and I enjoyed a delightful lunch at Hollander in Brookfield. Dylan, our waiter, was excellent—attentive, helpful and most of all, kind. When we asked for recommendations, he gladly offered suggestions. He was professional and customer-centric. We enjoyed our entrees, especially the Brussels sprouts appetizer!

Stopped in a few days ago with our family for the first time. Our server was Lindsey I believe and she was amazing! She recognized it was our first time at Cafe Hollander and quickly made suggestions on her favorite drink and food options we should try. She was very prompt and definitely seemed like a pro! Definitely would recommend this place again and recommend asking for this young lady as your server!!

I meant to leave some comments: Theres a great variety of beer, and the Tandem Dubbel was excellent. I had a hard time deciding what to eat because everything sounded good. I went with the jambalaya. It was delicious with a nice amount of heat. The service was great too. I live a couple of hours away, but I have family in the area. Ill be back.

We were there for a birthday celebration on yesterday 2/20/21 around 1:40pm. When we seated we noticed the manager(gentlemen wearing a Green sweater) staring at us the entire time. This was so uncomfortable and annoying. My kids felt very uncomfortable. However, we did not let him from enjoying ourselves. Rico was our waiter. He was pleasant and did a great job. However, we will not return to the Brookfield location due to the uncalled for stares.

I just had one of the most delicious salads and I never had… A new offering from Hollanders… A beet and strawberry salad. However, I was very dismayed to see that there staff is not required to mask up. I take all the proper precautions for my health as does anyone dining with me. I do not want an unmasked server at my table. It saddens me that I cant eat there again at this time, but hopefully it will not be too long before they establish safer measures for customers and staff.

Review №53

Overall, a great place to eat. The beer selection is fantastic and rotates semi-frequently so if you get a flight and go every other month you can typically create a unique flight.I’ve been to this location around 10 times. The majority of the time, the service is fine, but the past time we went the waitress messed up a lot, didn’t acknowledge her mistakes, and didn’t remedy them when I asked for a different beer (2 of 4 beers in the flight were not what I ordered). She also didn’t get our meals right and didn’t bring water when we asked for it.Food is great though, so as long as you get a good server, you should be just fine.

Review №56

Burgers are good to very good. Sweet potato fries worth trying. Regular fries tasted stale. Salad welted and wet. Their Belgium bread was warm but tasteless. Service slow and not attentive. Large space with two floors and large glass windows, but feels like a chain. Crowded and loud. Unless trying different beer choices is important, I recommend looking elsewhere for good food and service.

What a place. Causual, airy, breezy. Crazy extensive menu, many specialty beers, and dark beers at that. Seven of us, all different meals, all delicious. Good sized servings. Only down side.

Review №74

Had a good meal. Everything was great but the menu just isn’t for me. I have been here before for burger and again tonight both times were very good. I’m sure I would like many things on the menu but I’m more of a basic menu guy and I expect them to be done really well with great service and friendly staff.Staff was adequate and did solve our one problem. That problem was the Clam Chowder soup. By far the most disappointing clam chowder soup I have ever had. Campbell’s basic clam chowder would have been better, I highly recommend you don’t order this.On the other side the Fish Fry them most of our party had was very good and a decent portion size and large amount of fries.Others at the table had other entrees and were happy as well. A large beer menu but I am always astonished that these places run out of menu items. Always a disappointment. I believe that this should not happen... is rather have fewer choices that are always available then a huge list that is hit and miss if they are in stock.

Usually Cafe Hollander is pretty good, however this Friday Fish Fry was absolutely horrible! For around $15 a meal, the 3 pieces of fish tasted like dry, frozen fish fingers, and the fries were soggy, limp and cold. No tarter sauce or ketchup was provided and all that was given was hard bread and lemons. Not worth the money, which is super hard for me to say, as I have always enjoyed going here for an amazing brunch.

Review №84

This was my first visit. Ive heard there is another location as well. I was impressed with the overall look of the restaurant. Very trendy. Since it was a Saturday night I wasnt surprised there was a wait, but I didnt mind it either. It was very convenient to be able to be notified via our cell phone where we stood in the wait, and when our table was ready. That enabled us to walk around visiting different shops. The wait ended up being shorter than projected. I enjoyed the cocochata and the chicken bacon avocado wrap. Id order both again, but also look forward to trying something else. Seems like a great place to dine when the weather is warmer. UPDATE 3/19: Love this place!! Have been there two more times. Tried the BLT+A and a mimosa the second time, and a Cucumber Avocado sandwich on Sourdough bread as well as the half bottle of Moscato ( 2 servings in the half). I enjoyed the food and drinks very much. Still plan to return to try the outside dining when its warm.

She was very prompt with acknowledging us as soon as we sat down and brought our drinks out very quickly. I was a little conflicted about what to order but Sarah was very patient and helped me finally decide on the salmon, which was just delicious! Overall our restaurant experience was very good. We go out to eat all the time and like to try new places but we will be back to visit Sarah behind the bar. She made our good experience great.

So the place is gorgeous just like the one in Madison (that one is just outstanding). Underground parking with an elevator that takes you right into the bar. Great place for beers. Only complaint was the night we were there the appetizers were slightly soggy.. the cheese curds may have been sitting a bit before bring it to the table, bummer. It took a long time for the goat cheese bruschetta to come out.... it had good flavor.Had the Jambalaya which really was tasty and spiced well but the chicken was really tough. I mentioned this to the waiter who did mention it to the chef. The chef said he’d watch out for that in the future. The waiter took the bruschetta off the bill for the long wait, which was cool but unnecessary.Just a slightly off night, that being said it wouldn’t stop me from going there again because this is a great addition to Brookfield.
