I really do LOVE this place . Pretty grounds and great hospitality . Happy Hour ! #HHH

Chocolate tini hit the spot but the waitstaff did not. We walked in and there wasn't anyone at the host stand and the bar didn't have 4 seats. So we went to one table and then decided to move to another table. The waitress came up to us with a huge attitude and said we needed to order drinks at the bar if we weren't ordering food. We didn't know at that point if we wanted food. So we went to the bar and it way longer than necessary for 3 martinis. We finally got our drinks and decided we wanted food. I asked the waitress if we needed to order food at the bar and with the biggest attitude she said yes you didn't tell me you wanted food. I hope the food is ok. I've never expected to be treated this way. read more

Have been coming to brownstone for years. They never disappoint and always have great service! Food is tasty. The outdoor area is what really makes brownstone, especially in the summer. With plenty of seating, the waterfall, and corn hole, it makes the perfect hangout spot all week long. Love coming here!! read more

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. read more

**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 :) read more

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 read more

The Brown Stone - Honey Im Home...Gabby was the best server - Sports Bars Near Me - Metuchen, New Jersey

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. read more

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 read more

Server was very nice but she kept taking care of everyone else but us it seemed. Ordered two burgers and it was like almost an hour before they came out!! Buns were stale as hell!! Almost sent back but was worried how much longer it would take if we did so!! Assuming the long delay was because they ran out of buns and then decided to use the old ones?!! Never going back again. read more

This place is off the hook. Manager Robert meet and greets everyone. Service is good. They have a DJ. Outdoors with a bar to serve the outside. Nice ambiance. Been here few times but never yelp it. Decided to give it another try. I enjoy just watching how everyone is enjoying themselves. I sure did. I definitely recommend. read more

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. read more

Have passed by this location quite a few times and had the opportunity to check it out for a surprise birthday party. Food was pretty good. From the lemon chicken to sliders, wings, pasta etc. The server attending to our party was great. Right on time with everything. Due to the party being outside we were hoping the food to be covered. Next thing you know he's bringing out covers for the food. Water refills and anything we needed this guy was right on point. The downside was the inside bartender. Not friendly at all (to me). When she looked at me she seemed annoyed to serve me from the beginning. I thought providing a decent tip would make my next round a little better. It didn't. Served my drink took my money and that was that. All awhile laughing it up with the 3 people at the bar. No 3rd drink for me. I purchase and tip on my experience. What I would typically tip on that 2nd round at the bar I gave to the server plus more. I have a pretty good memory. When I return I'll avoid her as much as possible. Overall pretty good spot. read more

Went with my wife last week , staff was great , food was delicious. Wings were very good . Regulars made us feel welcomed !

I cannot speak for the food but I can speak for the vibes and prices of drinks! Prices are great. Drinks were good. We loved the outdoor space! It was raining but we didn't let that get us down. The DJ was killing it and volume was enjoyable. I'd 100% come back! read more

Went for lunch with a friend. It was quite busy and very noisy. The service was fine, but my lunch was not very good. Actually, should have sent it back. I had the overpriced French Dip, complete with tough meat, rubbery roll and lame (hanging around) fries. I took the leftovers home for my husband to try. I didn't say a word about the meat (I did put it on a different roll - fed the original to the birds) and he thought it was very tough also. Will reheat the leftover fries tomorrow. They will probably be better, I have been there before a number of times and it has been fine. That is why we returned. Moving on. read more

Awesome place, great food and fresh beer with solid bartender. My only complaint sounds pretty stupid, but they don't seem to pay attention to what's on all the nice TV's. Sometimes like 5 TV's are on the news. I don't think anyone goes to a bar and wants to watch the news. People start arguing over all of the very incendiary things going on and it's a bad vibe. People go to a bar to escape reality, not have it blasted in our faces with giant TV's. Besides that though it's one of the best places around! read more

Oh, where do I even begin with *The Brown Streak Mark*? If you're into culinary experiences that make you question all your life choices, then this is the place for you. It's a bold, terrifying tribute to the world's worst ideas, served on a plate. First off, the ambiance. Imagine walking into a place that looks like it was designed by someone who just discovered the color brown and thought, "Yes, this is the future of dining." It's dark, dingy, and smells faintly of disappointment--like a wet mop that's been used to clean up after someone's bad decision. read more

Had a classic cheese burger which came with fries and it was made well! Flavorful. The wings were char broiled and nicely salted. Service was fantastic. She was attentive. The spot was just too loud for me personally and not really my jam. There was a DJ and a random dude taking a pic that you could purchase for $1500. It was fine, had good 00s r n b music with a DJ on deck and that was great. Hahaha I'm just old. read more

If i could give zero stars i would. The service is nothing short of awful. I have never left a restaurant without eating. Everyone at my table was eating. The waitress was RUDE! The owner didnt even seem to care. He just said that he would make it up to me the next time. read more

40 minute wait for food! I'm crying. FOOD - nothing special. I personally found the food bland. The Brown Stone Burger sounds promising being their signature with crispy onions and a fried egg but it needed a sauce and some spice. I added some jalapeños from the nachos and it was so much better. SERVICE - friendly but that's about it. Food takes a very long time. We ordered a burger and nachos. Took 40 minutes. It was a Thursday night around 8pm. read more

The Brown Stone Burger was disappointing, the burger had no flavor or seasoning. The special sauce was barely there, so I only ate half. The service at the bar was amazing. Bartender kept my drink coming and was very attentive. We didn't sit outside due to the wind but maybe next time. read more

My boyfriend and I got together to get food and drinks. When we arrived we had to park next-door because their lot was full. We walked in and was greeted by Taylor and she was great with helping us. We first sat outside and Dawn was our original server. She took forever to get to us and wasn't too pleasant. We then chose to move to the outside bar and Kyle was our bartender and he was great. For my drink I got the espresso martini and that was very tasty. I ordered the stuffed shrimp for dinner and when it came out it looked great. I dug in and it was very tasty. My boyfriend had the salmon and it was good as well. My second drink was the red sangria and that was good. We had a good time there. read more

Not surprised over the bad ratings this place has. The little sliders wern't that good. Felt there was a lot of connective tissue in the mix. Not sure what the hell I was eating really. I was put off by it, ended up leaving early. The service for our drinks was slow. read more

Used to be better. Wasn't great. First off, it's obvious they aren't cleaning the lines on the draft beer, so get bottles. Next up their brownstone burger tasted like Wendy's. I remember the burgers here being really good which is why I wanted to come back. Also I came here on a Saturday during lunch and it was completely empty. Meanwhile they're loudly playing some dance remixes of old songs like it's a packed nightclub. Although I was surprised it was empty when I got here, I wasn't surprised after getting the food. It's too bad. Won't come back. Quality went easy down and the price is much higher. read more

We came here on a Saturday night, and had outdoor seating. The outdoor seating was very nice, it was kind of a chilly day, but the outdoor seating was kept warm. There are many many many things to choose from on their menu, so there is definitely something for everyone. The service was a bit slow since the place wasn't packed. I ordered buffalo chicken sliders and braised beef short ribs. I did not find the food to be anything special, they were okay. But our server was great, she was very very attentive, very patient when we were being indecisive, and thoughtful. She noticed that we wanted to share certain things, so she already had it separated into 2 separate plates for us. She just made the whole experience much better. read more

I was really pleasantly surprised by the Brown Stone. I had a large party trying to find a last minute dinner spot after a nearby restaurant quoted us a wait of 2.5 hours. The Brown Stone came up, and they were able to accommodate us right away. We got to sit outside on their nice patio, which had plenty of space for kids to roam around, a beautiful waterfall feature, and outdoor games like cornhole and giant Jenga. The service was good - we had a large, disorganized, and frankly demanding group, and our waitress handled it all with a smile. The menu was varied and had plenty of options to accommodate different dietary restrictions. The food was fine, but not outstanding. For example the mozzarella sticks were not really warm, so the cheese wasn't gooey like you would want, the chicken in the fajita chicken wrap was dry, and the linguini & clams was heavy on the linguini, light on the clams. If they stepped up the food quality a notch and maybe even focused their menu a bit more, this would've been a great experience! read more

Been there countless times in the past years, always exceptional food and service. They have outdoor dining with an enclosed tent and heaters. Seafood bisque is one of the better ones I've had and their steak sandwich and fish and chips are excellent. read more

We dined here with our two young kids last night. The ambiance was a Christmas Tavern dream The staff were all dressed in Santa and Elf outfits, and great Christmas music filled the air.
