Meet Us

Naples residents Scott and Galadriel Host are proud to be joining the Brooks Family with their purchase of Brooks Grill and Tavern. Before the joys of restaurant ownership, they both spent over ten years working with a nutrition company doing sales, marketing, and promotions. It was there that they met. Eventually Galadriel was able to lure Scott, hailing from Grand Rapids, Michigan, to her home state of Wisconsin. They spent almost five years there together before they were married in Milwaukee, WI in 2011. Six months after their wedding they moved to Southwest Florida. They had some business partners and friends already living in Southwest Florida so they had visited many times previously, spending their time visiting Sanibel, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Marco Island. After moving here, they left their nutrition company and spent the next ten years working as bartenders at Longhorn Steakhouse here in Naples. The flexible schedule helped them start and grow their family, where they are blessed with three boys, Gunner, Harrison, and Samson.

While bartending they developed a following of regulars, spread their roots here in Naples, and really turned Naples into their long-term home. Even though they enjoyed bartending, and loved their guests, they always wanted, and planned, to have their own business. Over a three year plus time frame, they were turned down from either business owners or banks in their quest for their own business. They had deals they thought were closed, turn side-ways and go away. Covid also created many obstacles for them while dealing with banks and lenders, and they felt their dream was in trouble. Thankfully living in the free state of Florida allowed them the opportunity to begin pursuing their goals again, more quickly than most places in the country. In March of 2022 a local business owner chose to sell their restaurant to one of their employees instead of Scott and Galadriel. Frustrated, they went back to the drawing board.

They believe things happen for a reason, and sometimes you have to “let go, and let God.” That is what happened. In May of 2022, they met with Todd Brooks for the first time and immediately saw an opportunity, a mentor, and a plan. The combination of great food, family, and sports created the perfect scenario for Scott and Galadriel to jump in.

“Todd has been nothing short of a blessing to us. We had heard of him being a great boss, and a great guy before we bought Brooks Grill and Tavern. His help, patience, and guidance along this path has been amazing. We feel blessed and honored that he trusts us with upholding the “Brooks Burgers” name and legacy. Couldn’t be more excited about the future of “Brooks” and our role in growing the brand here in Southwest FL.”
