Review Browns Socialhouse - New Westminster

Good place to enjoy with friends!😎 Calamari was crispy and delicious. I like the deep fried jalapeños with calamari. Chicken lettuce wrap was not really impressive. I tried Cactus club one and that one was much much better.. both taste and portion. But still not too bad. Alfredo fettuccine was okay, but maybe if it was more creamy, it would be better. Fish taco was the best among what we ordered. Toppings were all fresh and the portion was great. Deep fried fish stick was super crispy and there was no bad smell. And it came with French fries. (* we ordered an extra fish taco for friends. That is why ours is 3 tacos). Next time I will try happy hour ! No wonder Browns Socialhouse is everywhere😊

When its Happy Hour, Browns is the place to be. We weren't in a main mood, but a snack, so I knew the place to go to was Browns. We took advantage of their Happy Hour deal where some of their signature apps are on special. If there's one thing that Browns absolutely knocks out of the park its these. Their fries are god tier, forged by the potato god's of Halifax. Their fries are easily the best, you won't get better fries anywhere. While their wings are literally just fried with no breading, these are really the only constructive feedback I can give Browns, they are flavorful but lack that "oomf" The sesame ginger gyoza were a perfect balance of flavour, asides from the fries, these were the best app on the social hour, I highky recommend them. Now, for the building. Browns is super accessible with street parking or side streets, inside there are tons of seats and the bathroom is good quality. Service was top notch and really on the ball, servers were super attentive and checked in frequently. Only gripe is only sports on TV, it would be cool to get some games like Twitch on for esport events!

Went here for brunch with a couple friends and got the breakfast hash bowl. It was great, potatoes were a good size and crispy, the flavours were nice and sharp and the portion was good. It was a bit vinegary/acidic, which was I didn't notice for most of it but at the end of the meal it became a little overwhelming. It definitely has that quality chain restaurant taste, I don’t know how to describe that but it’s not a bad thing. It’s a great place to go if you need a good meal and want variety/options for a group of people with different tastes. I’d say everything like $2 more than I’d expect but obviously that’s not the biggest deal, it’s the price you pay for the chain aspect of having options and knowing the quality you’ll get. Service was ok, it was Saturday morning when everyone is tired and we got our drink refills fine which is all I care about. Everyone else felt their food was good too and settled around 4 stars for their meals as well.

I always pass by here when I go to the hospital, but it's my first time here. My friend brought my sister and I here as a surprise. And boy, was I surprised 😂. It's such a pretty place with an ambient atmosphere. The waitresses were very nice and quite patient with us. We sat on a patio (😁) and enjoyed our dinner. The patio was nice because it feels like people walking by are close to us, but they're actually below us. Their washrooms are so cool, it's like glass and compartmentalized, like the ones in Japan. The food was kinda expensive though, especially some dishes with smaller portions than we thought, but they were yummy nonetheless. We didn't get to order the key lime pie but will be coming back for that!

They had a covered patio and we were able to get a seat right away for lunch. Everything was delicious. The nachos was great, I had the potato crusted cod with cowboy salad. The salad was fresh and hint of sweetness. The beef dip was amazing as well. Will come back because it wasn’t busy at all.

We came here on Sunday after an event. We arrived at 9:00 pm and were told that last call for food was 9:30 and for alcohol was 9:45 pm. Food was good, drinks were good, but it was rather obnoxious how we were rushed through our meal, with plates whisked away almost before we had a chance to finish. Our server even turned on the bright lights at 10:10 pm to signal that it was time to go. Sorry but I was not impressed by the customer service here. This was a first being treated this way. And customer service is a very important part of eating out. I understand that the staff want to go home, but if last call for food is 9:30 pm, guests should be allowed at least one hour to eat their meal without feeling rushed out the door.

I had the pan seared ahi tuna salad. So freaking good! I will definitely order it again. We opted to sit outside which was very pleasant. On Saturdays, there are no cars in the parking lot next door which makes for a better experience. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The French dip bread was a bit hard but other than that, no complaints.

Our server was great, very friendly, attentive and took care of our table of 6 with ease during the busy lunch time sitting. I have a habit of trying beef dip sandwiches at every new restaurant I visit and this was unfortunately hands down the worst I have ever had, I struggled to bite through the meat and it was the toughest cut of meat , reminded me of my grandma cooking a roast for 8 hours, it was a struggle to eat even a few bites, however the fries were great and because I was guest of a customer I chose to not mention quality. Next visit possibly I will try a different menu option.
