Brothers 27th Street Wings and Burgers is a popular place for food and entertainment in Scottsbluff.
Brothers is located at 2621 5th Avenue in the old Applebee's location.
"We wanted to get out of the nightclub business, so we went into the restaurant business," owner Chad Leeling said. "We wanted something around wings. I've always wanted a wings place here. And then we went into wings and burgers, then decided we wanted steaks, pastas, a little bit of everything that you can't get in this town. We've got a full menu."
Leeling said the name of the restaurant was chosen to honor the special relationships between brothers.
"The way we got the name, we wanted something that kind of brought people together," Leeling said. "So brother, is a person who was there when you need him. Someone who picks you up when you fall. A person who sticks up for you when no one else will. A brother is always a friend. And that's kind of what we're all about here."
Leeling said Brothers has a good selection of burgers. Panhandle Post asked him what his best burger is.
"Probably our firehouse," Leeling said. "It's topped with battered and fried pastrami, jalapenos, sliced tomatoes, a special house made honey sriracha chili sauce, and salsa. That's probably one of our number one sellers. My favorite would be the brother's burger. It's american cheese, hashbrown, bacon, egg, lettuce, tomato and mayo."
Leeling said he loves the Scottsbluff community.
"I love our community, the way everybody comes together," Leeling said. "Whenever we have a problem; somebody has a tragedy, this community just seems to come together. And you know, that's kind of why I like doing these concerts. I don't make any money on them. Actually, most of them I lose money on. But, it just gives something back to the community. It gives people around here something to do."
Leeling has musicians perform on the outdoor patio of Brothers and also books national touring bands at 5 Rocks Amphitheater in Gering.
