This is a small cute store on Asbury park broad walk near the convention hall, with some sitting…read morearea right in front of the store. They only sold mini pancakes in 4 different sizes, with 6 different flavors of batter. There were about 14 different toppings to choose from. All the pancakes were made right in front of the customers. As they cooked, those get sold right away. They also have few coffee and juices in the menu as well. The associates at the store were very friendly. They were explaining a lot of the guests how it worked. I ordered the short stack (5 pieces) with strawberry and cream signature flavor. Took them about 10 minutes to cook the pancakes and pack them in a paper plate. The pancakes were so soft and fluffy. They had really good taste. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food and the service here.

Decided to try Buttermee as it had good reviews and everyone raves about these mini pancakes. We…read moreopted to order the bite box which has 25 mini pancakes and figured it would be filling to eat. Ordered the Buttermee signature which comes with maple syrup, crispy bacon crumble, and their cinnamon sugar whipped butter. The bacon was crisp however filled with grease that should have been drained from its container. The cinnamon sugar whipped butter was extremely sweet and could be appealing to someone who loves sweet. I just dipped the mini pancakes into the maple syrup. They were extremely light and fluffy but not filling. When ordering I saw the pancakes are supposed to have whipped cream and powdered sugar on them. I asked for that to be removed and the girl taking my order reacted as if I had just committed murder with such drama. It's a good option I guess if you're in a rush but the amount of unnecessary sweet and sugar is a bit overkill in my opinion. There is only a few tables outside to sit so you just have to wait for someone to leave if you are trying to eat there.

Some Sundays just hit different…read more Church was absolutely PHENOMENAL! Rev. Nicole Drakeford preached a WORD that reached all the way into my soul. The scripture was Luke 17:11-19, and the message was simple but powerful... I have to get back to saying THANK YOU! Sometimes we're so busy asking God for the next blessing that we forget to pause and thank Him for the ones He's already given us. Now y'all know after feeding the spirit...it was time to feed the stomach! Off to Brownstone the Original Pancake Factory in Freehold we went, and BABY...they did NOT disappoint! From the moment we walked in, our server J gave us customer service that was a 10/10! If you go, ask for J...tell 'em Stacy sent you! To make the day even sweeter, they helped us celebrate our church's 106th Anniversary! Such a thoughtful surprise that truly made us smile. And can we PLEASE talk about my Aunties?! Apparently, when it's your first visit, you have to ride the carousel...and let me tell you...my Golden Girls understood the assignment! Watching them laugh and enjoy every second was worth the trip all by itself. The food? ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! The portions are huge, the atmosphere is welcoming, and every bite was worth it. If you haven't been...GO! And if you have...tell the people the truth... NO LIES DETECTED! Thank You, Lord, for another Sunday filled with worship, family, laughter, great food, and beautiful memories. My cup & heart is FULL.

I really wanted to understand the hype, but unfortunately this one was a miss for me. I'm honestly…read morenot sure why there are consistently such long lines to get in because, based on our experience, the food was definitely underwhelming. First, the menu is HUGE. It actually reminded me of Cheesecake Factory, you open it and there are so many options that you're not really sure what the restaurant specializes in. Yes, everything is centered around pancakes, but even within each section there are so many choices that it becomes overwhelming. Sometimes, less is more!We decided to take some of the server's recommendations and went with the Fried Oreo Cheesecake Pancakes. Unfortunately, these were just way too sweet for us and didn't live up to the hype. There was so much going on that the flavors didn't really come together for me.My daughter ordered the strawberry shake, which was absolutely massive! I will give them that, the portion was impressive. But again, it was extremely sweet, even for a milkshake.I ordered the Steak Frites and asked for my steak medium. Unfortunately, it came out much closer to medium rare, so it wasn't cooked to my requested temperature. Overall, there were some fun and over-the-top menu options, but unfortunately the food just didn't impress us enough to justify the wait or the hype. Would I go back? Probably not. There are just too many other places I'd rather spend my time and calories.

It was so amazing I barely have anything to say other than GO!…read more Amazing service, quick, courteous and attentive service. SERVICE: was very speedy. They brought out the food within 10 minutes. Everything was accurate fresh and looked as good as it taste. Frequently checked on ice and make sure everything was tasting good and that we didn't eat anything else towards the end of our meal. The manager came over and made jokes with us and checked on us to insure we had a positive experience. Vibe: good restaurant for families, birthdays, elders, parties, kids, handicap accessible. Music is a good volume, not overbearing to where you can't have a conversation.

This is definitely a popular spot, so be prepared for a potential wait. That said, we put our name on the waitlist for two on a Saturday during brunch and were seated in under five minutes! Also if you DO have to wait, there are a ton of shops in the area that you can browse. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive. Our server recommended several dishes to us, which I really appreciated. The price point is also extremely fair for the amount of food you get, especially considering how good the food is. The portions are generous, and everything we had was phenomenal. Highly recommend the s'mores iced latte, any of the skillets, and the toast sampler. I will absolutely be coming back!

The buzz finally got the best of me and I had to stop in and try The Skillet…read more The verdict? Worth it! While they are known for their giant stacks of pancakes and coffee flights, I was really only craving something savory and more lunchy to go with my latte (which was delicious) so I ended up, at my waitresses suggestion, getting the Mediterranean bowl. It was one of the healthy options (a section of the menu) but was absolutely delicious!! It came with a green sauce that I could have had by the bottle, was massive and hit the spot. Come with friends and get a little bit of everything, maybe even a table pancake, so you can make your way through more of the menu. They were swamped on a random weekday afternoon, so I can't even imagine how busy they must get on the weekends.

There is a particular kind of restaurant that understands its job is not to dazzle you into silence…read morebut to make conversation easier. The Shed, on Merrick Avenue, is that kind of place. The dining room is anchored by an olive tree that rises improbably from the center of the floor, its branches catching the light from a constellation of milk-glass globes. Along the bar, bottles glow against whitewashed brick, and the marble counter is set with striped linen napkins. The effect is part farmhouse and part supper club, and it is more inviting than either would be on its own. The menu favors familiar dishes executed with care. A glazed salmon arrives lacquered and deeply caramelized at the edges, resting on wilted spinach and a bright hash of corn, peas, and shallot, all bound by a butter sauce worth chasing with a fork. The fish sandwich is a study in restraint: a well-seasoned, pan-crisped fillet, a soft brioche bun, and a tangle of slaw, with a plump pickle and coleslaw alongside, as tradition demands. Dessert is where The Shed allows itself some indulgence. A dense, fudgy brownie, dusted with powdered sugar and set beside a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting into chocolate sauce, recalls childhood without apology. Notably, the restaurant takes its non-alcoholic drinks seriously. The mocktail list is broad and thoughtful, a welcome gesture of hospitality toward diners who would rather skip the spirits without skipping the fun. Service, led on this evening by a warm and unhurried server, matched the room. Tables linger here, and no one seems to mind. The Shed isn't trying to reinvent anything. It simply does the familiar things well, in a room that makes you want to stay for another round of dessert and another hour of talk.

Best Soufflé Pancakes ever!…read more Now that I've actually been to Japan I can honestly say I crave these pancakes more than the ones I had overseas! These pancakes are more fluffier and eggier (I think that's a legit word, LOL), and super rich! If you don't like eggs, don't visit because there is a lot of eggy flavor. I've tried the two dominant flavors, Matcha and Strawberry, and I can't tell which one I like better. The light cream topping is better than any butter or maple syrup I've ever had. There is usually one more flavor that they change from time to time as well which I've heard is great. Going on the weekday avoids the wait. The abnormal hours of operation don't make it easy to visit but if you do you'll definitely enjoy. Book the table on Yelp!

Challah French Toast, Homefries and Bacon. 15/20 minutes go by and my food came. The Homefries are a good portion. They are seasoned well. The bacon was warm and crispy as well. The challah French toast was delicious. I enjoyed my meal overall. Overall this is a good place that met my expectations. The food was as expected and the portion size was good as well. They do charge a fee for using your card as shown on my receipt. A tad bit tacky to me but I understand.
