    Pretzel sticks. Delicious!
    Steve C.

    Fantastic! We aren't locals but LOVE Michigan. On our last trip we found ourselves in the area and thought it looked good and it was amazing! We sat outside and enjoyed a couple Bloody Marys which were perfect. Right balance, not too much vodka. Well done. We had a few apps as well. We started with the pretzel sticks. Spot on! The sauces were really good. I liked the mustard a good deal. I am not usually a mustard dipper but I kept going back. We followed that up with the Firecracker Shrimp Tacos and they were very tasty. It is a big taco and a good amount of shrimp. I can't decide between them and the pretzel sticks as far as which was better. Browndog has ice cream and we had to try that to finish things off. I know, it doesn't sound like a great combo here but we had been enjoying the weather, the drink and were sufficiently full... but the ice cream we hadn't tried yet. Glad we did! The Michigan cherry and chocolate streaks was a perfect ending. We will be back to the area and plan to have another great meal Here.

    Browndog never disappoints! They have such a unique menu from Brunch to Boozy Shakes! I really enjoyed the Beer Cheese Burger and their truffle fries! My boyfriend ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich and he said it was fantastic! If you're looking for a fun little spot to grab a quick bite, Browndog is the spot!

    Been here twice nearly one year apart. Most recently trying the SMOKE HOUSE BRISKET DOG. I was in the mood for a dog and it hit the spot, good quality and the combination of toppings were great. Surprised it didn't come with the a side for $18 but it was enough food for me. The Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich has been enjoyed at the normal spice and +++ heat (palatable but VERY HOT). The normal heat was an easy eat, lots of flavor and the jalapeño fire fry upgrade was worth it. Service has been hit or miss. They run a pretty lean staff and they're pleasant but just come with patience. There was honestly one time we came and were seated at the center bench for about 15 minutes (giving grace because we saw they were busy and we were starving) and we left without being greeted or served since being sat down. I would say this had to have been a one off and due to the stress of traffic but worth noting as an outlying experience.

    Burgers
    Aimee L.

    This is a small place with a few tables, a bar and a long community style table. It is very pricy for burgers. Both of the beers we got were not very good and it tasted like they didn't clean their lines. The waiter was a little pushy. They didn't have something we ordered and he continued to stand over us pressuring us to order when we now needed a few minutes to decide what we wanted. I got the beer cheeseburger, which was amazing. I also liked the fries which were like shoestring. My husband just got a regular burger and he wasn't a huge fan. Not sure that we would return.

    Great place for kids, families, couples and, very importantly, doggies are very welcome! Super fun vibe for spirits, ice cream, with booze or not...and did I mention, delicious snacks and food, including brunch! We love eating outside, relaxing and enjoying the goings-on in Northville. The service is outstanding, attentive and friendly! Browndog is a true local gem and a wonderful part of the Northville community! There is something for everyone to enjoy!

    Nashville hot chicken sandwich.
    David D.

    My first time here. The service was good. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was very good. The ice cream is fantastic. I will be back.

    SO GOOD! Most amazing food and desert i've ever had in my life. Our server Justin is the absolute best!

    Brown dog has good food and ice cream, but is pricey. If we come back, I would come when they are having specials, but this won't be in our regular rotation. Brown dog is a bit dark inside and set up like a pub with bar seating and booths on the other side. I ordered the pimento cheese burger. I was surprised by how sweet it was and found the bacon jam overpowering. I paid more for truffle fries, but they didn't take like truffle to me, not even slightly. It came with a cup of mayonnaise aka "garlic aioli." I believe the burger was around $17 and added more for the truffle fries. My husband liked the bulgogi hoagie, but it didn't come with a side or any fries. Our server was great, and I loved how much of a fan she was of the ice cream. She shared all kinds of fun details about her favorites. We also have tried their ice cream. It was really good. I tried the one with both regular and yellow Oreos. My husband got blueberry pancakes. The ice cream was the best part.

    We have been to Browndog for ice cream in the past, but decided to try dinner this evening. One of the owners, Paul, greeted us when we arrived. We sat in a small two seater table in their perfectly intimate dining room. For dinner I ordered the Bulgogi Hoagie (Korean marinated beef) and an order of Tangier's (onion straws. The bulgogi hoagie was served in a lobster roll style bun, that was super soft. The beef was super tender with some veggie that gave a nice little crunch. The star was really the Tangier's that were served in a cute little fry basket. My wife loved the Tanglers so much she took ate a bunch of mine. My wife ordered the southwest Chicken salad. It was a very well portioned salad and had a lot of toppings. This was probably the least standout of our meal, but a good choice for those looking for something lighter. We ended our meal with some ice cream. The waiter told us the mini size were golf ball sized, so we ordered a few different flavors. The servings were much more generous than described. I ordered the cereal milk, choc and Rye (Faygo inspired) and blueberry pancake. The cereal milk tasted like fruity pebbles at the end of the bowl (super nostalgic). Choc and Rye had a slight hint of Faygo Rock and Rye with chunks of brownie. My favorite was the blueberry pancake; it was sweet, but super balanced with blueberry jam and pancake bites in it. This is a great spot for sharing small plates. Next time we plan to try the adult boozy shakes and some of the appetizers. One of the best spots in Northville for sure. Thanks for great food and great service.

    cheeseburger with pimento cheese
    Nick K.

    Second time here. Had the burger with pimento cheese and bacon jam. The bacon jam is mixed with the barbecue sauce. A little too much sauce over powering the rest of the ingredients. The fries were warmer than the first visit. They want you to get the menu from a qr code and pay the bill with another qr code. With all the discussion about self check out at grocery stores. This is the same scenario instead of doing the work of the checkout, you end up doing the job and the server.

    This is my 2nd time here. (1st was for brunch & with another person.) Hostess was behind the ice cream counter. She then moved to behind the podium. I was seated immediately. Only 1 other couple seated & finishing up at 430p. Seating is tight. There's a long bench opposite the with 9 tables. 2 of which are 4 seaters. The rest are spaced along the bench for 2 person tables. Between the chairs & bar is a high bench with 15 high stools on the side closest to the long bench. Don't expect any sort of stretching out at peak hours/days. Upgraded to truffle fries. Those and my burger were DELICIOUS. Only complaint was that I didn't taste any spice on my spicy bacon burger, but that's minor compared to how good it was.

    a dog and a cup of ice cream
    Annette J.

    Came by here in the summer for a bite with my family and what a pleasure it was! We had my mom's dog with us and they kindly let us sit with her on their (covered) patio. The patio, directly out front, stretches out into the street which they close to car traffic during the summer months. I was feeling traditional that night and went for a cheeseburger, fries, and a shake. But the beauty is that even the traditional is a bit interesting here. The shake? Boozy. I got the Drunken Muppet (which was their blue "Kookie for Cookies" ice cream mixed with chocolate vodka, dark chocolate liqueur, and cookie pieces topped with whipped cream) for eats I got the bacon brie burger (which was topped with fried brie curds, thick cut bacon, arugula, and jam) and upgraded the standard fries to a side of their truffle fries. Delicious! My family also ordered the soft pretzel starter to split and it was also quite good. Came with three dips though the group favorite was the IPA beer cheese. Not up for a whole meal? You can also just pop in to their ice cream counter to get a scoop or a cup or pints to go. I did the latter and grabbed two pints on our way out to take home with me that night so my husband and I got to enjoy the delicious flavors like Midnight Cherry Fudge and Brookie Dough for the next few nights! A very pleasant experience all around and I look forward to coming back again soon!

    We had an excellent meal at Browndog Barlor. The staff was great, the presentation of all the food was superb, as was the flavor. We ordered the Browndog Fries at the recommendation of a friend. They were so flavorful and unique. I would definitely order them again. I ordered the fish tacos, which were also nicely prepared and flavorful. My dining partners split the fish and chips, which was a good choice because one order was more than they could eat. The chef arranged the two curled pieces of fish to make a heart on a mountain of fries. For dessert, we split the four serving tasting sampler. We all had a different favorite but my favorite was "Who Needs a Therapist" which was dark chocolate and peanut butter. We'll definitely be going back and bringing friends.

    Do not get their ice cream. No flavor and just a ton of weird shit. The shakes have a weird after taste. Would not recommend.
