Good Food but very frustrating when you order online for delivery! Not my favorite place and not worth the hassle! They need people who speak better English to man the phones.

We decided to stop for lunch and it might have been just a little better to go to EC Diner which is a stone throw away. I ordered the Pastrami sandwich. It was good but the bread was a really light rye and the meat...was warm but probably packaged as it was dry. I asked for onions to be added and that was a miss. Two others ordered wings and they looked good…definitely not over sauced. The fries were disappointing…both ordered. Just not crisp and they were somewhat oily like the oil wasn’t hot enough or something. They were warm.More

Another day, another social media deal. This was a "Local Flavor" promotion. This is how we afford to try new places and do new things. I am always so happy when I find a great place like Beef Brothers as a result! The food is...SO reasonably priced for the awesome quality of their products, especially in a demographic like this part of Howard County. Anyway, the food is outstanding! I had the Cloak and Dagger (corned beef, russian dressing and coleslaw on rye) and chose not to have it grilled as I wanted to spend my calories on other yummy stuff, including the Swiss cheese I added to the sandwich. Usually I only eat half a sandwich at a time, especially as I added a side of home made potato salad, but I managed to eat my entire meal. I did behave well enough to savor the tender corned beef instead of simply inhaling it, as I was very hungry at the time. My buddy had the Beef Brother (smoked brisket, onions, bbq and horseradish sauces on a kaiser) with potato salad and snarfed it up immediately. He even managed to say it was good, so that meant he actually took the time to taste it, which is a high compliment. My husband had the Italian Cold Cut sub (Capicolla, Mortadella, Genoa Salami and provolone with the fixins) with potato salad. I only mention the specifics of the Italian ingredients as these ARE the ingredients that are SUPPOSED to be in a true Italian Cold Cut sub. Go find one like this, not so easy! The final defining factor in the sandwiches is the Boars Head meats they use. Real quality makes all the difference! The potato salad is really good! My husband LOVED it. This is surprising only because he is an egg and mustard potato salad guy and he nor I didn't think this would be his jam! My buddy liked it, which again means he actually bothered to taste it. I topped off my meal with a piece of "Dangerously Delicious Key Lime Pie" they offer from the Baltimore bakery. I make a mean key lime pie so I am a harsh critic. I didn't want to like it as much as I did! It is sweeter and creamier than mine and not as tangy. The crust is thicker than mine, thus adding to the sweetness. However, I loved the caramelization of the bottom of the crust and the denser, creamier texture. I was planning on saving the other half for my husband, but alas I really loved it! TRY THIS PLACE!!! They have a beer and wine license if you dine in. We did carryout. The space is small and minimalist, but seems comfortable enough. I just wanted to pig out at home on some really great food!More

Solid reuben, good fries and unique variety on the menu. We’ll definitely be back to try the pizza, cheese steaks, shakes, knish, gravy fries, purple football pizza, FAT Machenery, and wings. Bonus, they serve beer and wine too! Cute setup. Love the jack daniels barrel...tables and Maryland pride. Only thing is the service was a little slow (15-20 minutes for order) for 2pm on a Sat. Not many patrons when we arrived but several people came in after us.More

Member has been found Beef Brothers deli in Ellicott city by fluke. We decided to try something new something different. I had the roast beef sandwich on a Kaiser roll it was really really tender beef the horseradish sauce and barbecue were phenomenal the role...was excellent. My only thing is I wish I would’ve known the amount of meat on it I would’ve doubled it personally. My husband got make his own salad and he ended up with grilled chicken on it. huge portion for a single person. We will definitely be going back. And they also have phenomenal pies for dessert from dangerously pies out of Baltimore in Canton.More

Burgers were OK, but the fries were terrible, skinny, mushy, and oily. Beware, if you go on half price burger day, they charge extra for cheese. Glad we did carry-out; there is zero atmosphere and the table where we waited was sticky.

Wasn't sure about Beef Brother's - someone had told me that it was a butcher shop. Stopped in and had an excellent corned beef on rye. Surprised that they charged 69 cents for small slice of Swiss. Service was backed up because they were having...back of the store issues. Want to go back for second chance.More

Tried it a second time after first visit didn't go so well (and the owner recommended another try). Pizza was great and the service was prompt and efficient on a busy night. Will definitely be back again.

This place is great. We eat here often. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is always fresh. Their turkey is delicious. Kids love the pizza, subs and fries. It's a laid back place, nice atmosphere. It's perfect for lunch or dinner when you...don't want to spend a fortune, but also don't want fast food trash.More

Back in town for summer trip and stumbled upon Beef Bros. We ordered a wide selection of food including Cheesesteaks, Meatballs, and Wraps. The food was awesome! Really enjoyed the atmosphere of a true Baltimore, Maryland style eatery with the areas historic sports scenes prominently...displayed. Any place that has pics of Cal Senior and Cal Junior, and Lenny Bias shooting over top of MJ gets my vote! I can't say enough good things! Dig the Jack Daniels barrel tables and the Boh signs! Owner was a good dude too! Highly recommend! Looking forward to my next visit. Thx!!More

This is a small local deli/catering, eat-in and also carry-out restaurant. They do a lot of carry-out and if you decide to stay, there are tables to accommodate. The food is very good, well prepared with generous portions. Their pizza is really really good and...you can build your won, sandwiches outstanding and there are salads etc to top that off! Their soups are delicious too! They do offer platters and boxed lunches too! Gotta give this place a try when in the area!!!More

The blt turkey was dry and just not impressive, almost $16. Bathroom was also very dirty, toilet...paper everywhere, huge puddle of water along the wall being soaked up by a towel.More
