    Attended happy hour here and it was a great experience. We had a choice of inside or outdoor patio as well as tables vs. booth. I appreciated that comfortably was offered. The happy hour deals were great. The menu is relatively extensive with something for everyone. It's a casual spot with a cute outdoor area. Our group enjoyed our food and beverages. I would definitely return.

    **this review is solely for take out!** My coworker and I ordered takeout for pickup today and the food was so good that I had to write a review! We weren't super hungry but we were craving a chicken Caesar wrap, so we decided to order and split a blackened chicken wrap which came with fries, and corn riblets. I had no problems with pickup and the hostess was super nice. Ordering on the website was a little glitchy but it worked out. The blackened chicken wrap was delicious- well-seasoned, perfectly cooked chicken, just enough sauce, had a good kick without being too spicy, and the tortilla had a great char. The fries looked like basic fries but they were also very good. Lastly the corn riblets - super tasty, lightly seasoned and the chipotle sauce that came with it was really good too. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back here again one day!! Maybe for Wednesday night karaoke :)

    PROS: The atmosphere was great! Rustic inside, nice patio and gravel area outside with couches and games. Food was priced well, menu variety was plentiful, staff was friendly. Loads of parking too CONS: Slow service, patio furniture was uncomfortable, I ordered a lamb burger with cheese and they gave me feta cheese instead of the typical American cheese. Then when I sent it back and they came out with American cheese it wasn't even melted OVERALL: I would come back here, but I have to be very literal with what I want and I need to be mentally prepared to wait a while for the food to come out

    PROs - ambience , atmosphere , service CONs - nothing much except parking . Food was 4 stars . It's almost a hidden gem in metuchen. Have passed by this place many number of times and atlast went in !! From outside it looks a small place but it's actually huge ! Plus the backyard seating ! Such amazing ambience inside and also in the backyard . Beautiful lighting and live DJ ! Superbbbbb Service was fantastic ! Loved their choice of beers in the tap .. blue moon was good . Ordered wings and it was ok. Was a bit dry and then they gave me more sauce . Parking was the only issue here . It gets crowded and the parking is pretty much occupied . Apart from this , everything else was awesomeeeee.. thumbs up

    Great atmosphere. Fast service, comfortable seating. Drinks were great. I had "honey Im home". Food options were the appetizers

    Mussels in white sauce

    I met up with a friend for dinner and drinks on a Friday evening. To start we had the shrimp cocktail and the mussels in white sauce. The shrimp was fine but the cocktail sauce was subpar (I also would've loved a little horseradish with the sauce). The mussels in white sauce were excellent. The flavor was there and the mussels were cooked properly. For dinner my friend had the penne vodka (it was ok; average at best). I ordered the crab cakes served with roasted potatoes and seasonal vegetables. I was soooo disappointed in my crab cakes. They were HUGE but they were all filler, no killer. I was digging for crab meat and barely found any. :( my roasted potatoes were fine and so were the veggies. To drink I had a house Cabernet, and a shot towards the end of the meal. The shot was chilled perfectly which was nice. All in all, an average experience.

    The service I received at The Brown Stone was exceptional. I arrived late on Friday night for an impromptu dinner date with my hubby, and the place was packed. We weren't sure there would be seating for us, but the host (a distinguished gentleman named Rob or Ron) told us to give him a moment and assured that he'd find us a good spot. Hats off to him for going above and beyond to make us feel special. The wait was less than 5 minutes. Because there was only outdoor seating available, he set up a clean table positioning us directly near a heat lamp to ensure that we'd be comfortable and cozy because the night air was humid with a slight chill. Where we were seated out back, we had a up-close view of a competitive corn hole match. The vibes were amazing. Outdoor bar is huge and there's a large tent as well. I very much enjoy the tranquility of the outdoor waterfall. There is much room outdoors to move about - much space to entertain a large gathering or private event. Hats off to the bartender. The drinks pack a punch and you certainly get your money's worth. Must try their signature old fashion!! As for the food, the appetizer sampler is always a go - wings, mozzarella sticks, fried zucchini, cheesy wedges, and maybe one other item that I'm forgetting at the moment. For my entree, I ordered the crab cakes, and although they were rather tasty, texturally they are a little too mushy for my preferences. The dessert tray had a mini key lime pie that I was excited to try but it was just okay. Too much moragne and not enough key lime filling. My overall experience at The Brown Stone was great. I'd gladly come again for a night out with hubby or a group of friends. I just won't go for the crab cakes or the dessert next time.

We grabbed seats at the bar, and the ambiance was exactly what I wanted for a night out--cool, calm, and full of vibes. The kind of place where you can settle in, catch up, sip something good, and actually enjoy the evening. I ordered the shrimp Cobb salad, and it came out in no time. It was a great size for the price and surprisingly filling, which is always a win when you're trying to enjoy your meal without feeling like you paid for a bowl of decorative lettuce. Our servers were attentive and timely throughout the night, which made everything feel easy and relaxed. And let's circle back to that half-off sangria because honestly... icing on the top. Good food, good vibes, good company, and a sangria special? I'll definitely be looking forward to the next girls' night here.

Menu (food) is little different at the rooftop when compared to their regular Menu, but it still had a good selection. We ordered different Appetizers and Cocktails, everything tasted great. Staff are very accommodating, and the service was quick. Definitely recommend

I noticed AFTER we ordered that there was a cocktail special that night. Our waitress never mentioned any specials, so I tried to flag her down after I had already ordered a different one not on the list. I mentioned to the hostess what I needed, and I hung out waiting for our waitress at the front. After waiting at least 15 min for her to show up from the back, I was able to ask her to change my drink order. The food here is FABULOUS. We got the housemade Irish soda bread and it was amazing. Hubby got the shepherd's pie and it was delicious. I got the lamb chops over asparagus and mashed potatoes and it was FANTASTIC ! I don't know if our waitress was new or what, but our meals were delivered without silverware. We waited several minutes, then finally flagged down another waitress so that we could eat ! If it wasn't for the poor service, this place could easily be 5 stars due to the fabulous food. Thankfully we got out of there before the live music started, loud music is not our vibe. At the very end of the meal, somehow my original drink order made an appearance (that's what I was afraid of, that she didn't cancel the order). The folks at the table next to us ordered the exact same cocktail, so when the bar tried to give it to us, the waitress told them to give it to the table next to us instead. Geez, we were already paying for our meal at the time. Lol The manager did come out and the end of the meal to ask how things were. I did mention I thought our waitress might be new. I didn't get an answer as to if she was, but I posed it more as a statement than a question.

    Looking for the best wings in the area? Look no further! Tap and Growler is your local corner bar…read morethat makes the best wings with the biggest variety of flavors, hands down. Always cooked crispy to perfection without having to specify, which is how it should be. No stretchy chicken skin or rubbery meat found here! Each time we visit, we get three orders of wings to split and usually another sauce or two on the side to try. We really enjoy the dry rubs and they don't skimp on the seasoning either. There's always plenty floating in the bottom of the basket for extra dipping. I couldn't go through all the wing flavors we've had since that would take quite some time, but you should definitely try the Chupacabra and squeeze the lime. The sweet potato fries with Chipotle aioli are definitely worth getting too. Just a heads up, this place can get REAL busy during peak times (ie: Friday and Saturday night), so plan your visit accordingly. There are usually 1-2 bartenders who are also acting as servers, so it may take a few extra minutes, but it is well worth the wait. Staff has always been friendly and welcoming. TLDR: Great local bar serving up the best wings in town. Give them a few extra minutes to serve you if you show up on a Friday or Saturday

You should order your food before your drinks because the food takes awhile but it is so worth it. The food comes out hot. The wings were so crispy and we had so many options for dry and wet sauces. I got the Nashville hot dry rub. They get a really good coat of seasoning in the wings but I did wish it was SPICIER given it was three flames (the highest). Looking forward to going back and trying a new sauce.

The steak was tasty and there was a nice blend of ingredients mixed in. Cheesy Macaroni Bites - This was fried macaroni and cheese. I do not remember ranch being served, but the tomato sauce was not bad. They were nicely fried, but they were just okay. Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza - This was alright. The crust was not very flavorful and cooked enough. There needed to be a bit more of a hot honey presence. Boneless Buffalo Wings - The Buffalo sauce powerful, but solid quality and nice cook on the chicken. Bone-In Wings - I had the BBQ, Buffalo, and Asian sesame flavors. The Asian sesame had a little kick, something about these intrigued me. The BBQ was a little sweet, probably due to the Dr Pepper addition? There was a little inconsistency on the wings as some needed to be a little crispier. Buffalo Chicken Dip - This was very cheesy. It needed a little more buffalo sauce, but good chunks of chicken present.
