3 star rating is accurate. I wasn't expecting anything better. Wide selection from sushi to burgers. When you do too many things you end up with average food. Service was good and atmosphere is bright and pleasant. I'd go back for a beer and an appetizer . read more

Just had the most amazing lunch at Brown's. We had the most beautiful friendly service with Kristen. Highly recommend lunch at Brown's food was amazing but the service made my day. read more

We have eaten here several times and food is really good. Service is good. Restaurant is clean, which is really important to us.

What a joke! I came here with 5 other people to the Social Hour. The food was good and the drinks were a great deal! However, the POS system was "not working" so our server had to give us our bill manually. She never gave us a manual bill; instead told us how much we owed, gave us the credit card machine, did not give us a copy of our receipts, and left. Initially, when I got my bill, I thought it was quite high especially for Social Hour, got caught off guard and paid it. Eventually, I looked at the menu and realized the server overcharged us. She overcharged the entire party pretty much charging double the bill. I did request the server to come back to ask about the discrepancy and she went and printed our new bills (I thought the POS system was down???) and said she got her math wrong. She refunded our initial amount and made us repay the new bill. My question was where was the manager during this? Shouldn't they be the ones doing the refunds and coming to the table to apologize for the error and try to make it right? Most establishments will do this. They would have known about this because they had to provide the server with the tools to do a refund. NOTHING! I am personally very suspicious about what happened. It's interesting that when we wanted the bill, the server was only willing to tell us our total. When we noticed the error then she prints off our bills and provides refunds with no manager involved. Very sketchy! read more

Tried delivery of burgers 2 and veggie 2 and a Florida chicken sandwich. Burgers were good, cold but good. Florida was a messy thing. The chicken fried hard,no chicken flavour. read more

Went today with 4 other family members and had a great time! Sierra was our fabulous server and helped me with gluten free options. My burger was the best burger I have ever had , and I've had a few! Great choice I made!! The yam fries were wonderful too. My family had great food evidenced by the fact that the plates and bowls going back to the kitchen after lunch were empty! Thanks to chefs and other crew, especially Sierra for making this a memorable family outing read more

Food was fantastic as usual. Portions were smaller and prices were higher but that's the same everywhere.

Gone downhill! 4 of all all agreed. Nachos had drizzled sour cream? Not even a teaspoon full? Draft Drinks came 3/4 full. No burger on kids menu dont hey have to pay big time for an adult order? Waitress unhelpful or seems to care less about our concern. Even messed up a plain burger?? We won't be back . Today with everything costing so much it better be good or you'll outta biz soon. unfortunately I can see that happening here! read more

First review as yelp elite - thanks yelp team. I look forward to finding out what that means:) I really enjoyed this place with three other ladies for lunch.great atmosphere the staff were friendly and there is an antique feel to the place. the food was excellent as well.I had The ancient grain and kale salad with grilled chicken added specially. Free underground parking in the back for 90 minutes and an indoor passageway to get to the restaurant is an added benefit. I really enjoyed this experience. read more

Browns Socialhouse Britannia - a plate of food - Burgers Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

I like this place for an easy go to lunch or dinner. The ambiance is always friendly and cosy. Fair prices, good quality food !

Weak start, middle & end Rolled in around 11:00 am this morning for their brunch. Ordered 3 coffees that took between 10-15 mins before we got them. Our table was just about to walk out when our waitress came with our coffee an apologize profusely. So we sat back down and decided to give it one more shot. I order the fired egg sandwich. If you've had the egg sandwich from A&W it was the exactly the same! Head there and save yourself $7.00 and the wait. The waitress never came back once to top off our coffee. We had to ask when she was clearing off our table and we where done eating. We tried several time to get her attention in the half empty restaurant but she wouldn't even look over at our table. We ended up having to ask another waitress for the bill, because once again our waitress went missing. Probably wouldn't go go back for the brunch. read more

Joined some friends for lunch and was impressed with the overall appearance of this establishment! The large windows and high ceiling make for a bright dining room! After being seated, our server greeted us and took our drink order. We were a bit early for lunch, the restaurant filled quickly as noon approached. The menu was varied as seems to be the trend with trendy dining spots. A "specials" menu was also offered. I opted for fish tacos and a pinto bean side. Pizza and a grilled ahi tuna sandwich were ordered by my friends. Food arrived promptly and was pleasing to the eye and ultimately the palate! The tacos were light and flavourful - filling enough! The pizza was good with a light crust - stole a slice for taste-testing. I think the winner was the ahi. It looked great, but there was no way to steal a bite! I definitely will try Brown's again and recommend it for a casual meal and drink! read more

Good place. No ranch available for hot wings,even if you ask, no ranch! they offer blue friggin cheese. .. Wtf. Come on browns read more

Browns Socialhouse Britannia - Burgers Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Great location for a Brown's Social house. The Caesars here are fantastic. Spicy and well-balanced. I came here for some wings, which were....not fantastic. They were dinky and dry. The calamari dish was also dinky. Next time I come here, I am just going to order a bunch of Caesars and nothing else. read more

Yep. Two of us went. It was really good. Terrific atmosphere and service. $4 beer and wine and solid food. We had pizza and a burger. It was good. This place will do well. Wish I had one in my neighbourhood. Try it. You won't be disappointed. read more

Kind of an odd experience. Everyone else's food was great. But I had to send my Pad Thai back as the noodles were really under cooked. When it came back the noodles were still under cooked. The flavour was great, just the texture was off. I'd come back, but I would not order the Pad Thai again. Just order Pad Thai at an authentic Thai place, not here. read more

Came for brunch today. Beauty day out so we went for a walk to get some eggs benny. I really like this restaurant they just need better servers!! I ordered a mimosa and she brought water and coffee for my husband as I watched my mimosa sit at the bar for a good 10 min before someone (not our server) brought it over. Food was decent (always is) but had to track her down for another drink and more coffee (it wasn't busy either). I'm just a stickler for service. Booze is a restaurants biggest money maker so it surprises me with the lack of service. This place has great potential but it's just not their yet. read more

Browns Socialhouse Britannia - Browns soda....soda, vodka, slush - Burgers Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Typical chain pub. A useful addition to the neighborhood, but nothing special. Nice decor and atmosphere, with food of reasonable but unremarkable quality that's rather expensive. Decent drink specials, though. And remarkably inconsistent (and too often awful) service. Better service would give them three stars across the board. read more

Been back twice since my first review, only because our friends wanted to go there. I still can't figure out why this place is so popular, unless it's because there just isn't much else in this area (?) My husband and I were both disappointed in our food at both visits. Just not much flavour. The calamari was totally bland and tasteless (did they even salt it?) and we relied on the dip to make it good. My fish tacos were ok, but maybe a couple ounces of fish for the $. I've had far better fish tacos at food trucks. I had a burger on one visit, and again it was not great. The one great thing is that the service was better and the atmosphere seems to have improved, with a much more friendly vibe. read more

Went there with my friend on a Wednesday evening. The service was very bad. Not to mention the waitresses were hard core cleaning all the booths, letting the seats bang down after cleaning them. It was so weird. The waitress didn't come back, ever! I had to go to the bar to order appys. Then, my friend couldn't get his beer refilled. We basically had to hold our hands up in the air every time. As for the food, the calamari was good and my friends' burger looked good. But the service was so bad, I don't think we'll come back. :(. There are way better places to go where the staff cares if you order anything. read more

I enjoyed every little bit about this beautiful gem! Modern, with tall windows, full of light. Friendly and professional service. Great beer and a super-yummy burger made my weekend very pleasant! Go check this place out! read more

the 4 stars are for service & 'ambiance', which were both pretty darn good! hostess & server were both really great, and I noticed all the servers at other tables were attentive to their tables too. we were in during Happy Hour on a Friday, and I wish we had just stuck to drinks instead of ordering food, because the food was really bland & disappointing. My mom was truly concerned 'I think the chef forgot to season this? should we say something so he doesn't send more out like this?!' No mom, we shouldn't. Next time we will just come for the drinks, which is ok by me! read more

Today was my first time here - a suggestion from a friend. Last sentence first, I'll be back. I love a great steak sandwich but I was a little surprised by the price. $24.95 for a 5oz steak. I ordered it anyway - medium rare. It was amazing. I substituted fries from the Thai Chicken & Rice soup - also amazing. Out server - Taylor - attentive and never let my water glass get to empty. Brightly lit, comfortable seating, sports on the TV's... Thank you. I will be back. PS: Change that 5oz steak sandwich into a 6oz steak sandwich and you got yourself five stars ;-) read more

Unbelievably bad food, not tasty at all.Service was okay.

Stopped by for lunch and was impressed to find they have lots of free parking located underground and we just took the paved alley behind the building to enter. We both had burgers & the Caesars were excellent! Friendly staff, took about 20 minutes for our burgers, and back to work within the hour. read more

Awful. Booked reservation for 6:30 to celebrate my sisters birthday, we arrived at 6:35 and our table was gone, the manager blamed it on a young hostess. Just not a great experience and not a great way to handle a situation. Probably will not return anytime soon. read more

Mixed drinks were horrible both times I went. Food was marginal. Prices okay. Expected more for a restaurant in Brittania.

The waiters were super nice and funny. We got seated right away and the food came super quick. I do not recommend making a reservation because they seat you super quickly and give you a very accurate wait time otherwise. The food was amazing though the sizes and portions were a little big a recommended sharing most plates. If your looking for a quiet peaceful meal, maybe not the best place because it can be quite loud with the tv's with sports on them; people did get a little to exited when I was there. I think the service all depends on your waiter. Browns Socialhouse is awesome but has room for improvement. read more

I've been to Browns on a number of occasions to meet work colleagues and find the bartenders are extremely rude and non attentive. They look unhappy and they make you feel like they are doing you a favour when they get you a drink. The beer is also warm! read more

I went there for dinner. I ordered the dynamite roll meal at $17. That's the dynamite roll served with a salad. The roll was slim and the portion of salad would barely fill the palm of my hand. I am not a big eater but I was still hungry when I left . The server did not return to ask if the meal was good, just handed me the bill when I was done or I would have asked for something else. Based on this experience I would not return. read more

The hot wings were great. However dont order the nachos, they jip you on cheese and they just taste overall pretty old.

I had the best dirty gin martini I've ever had in my life made by Olivia. It had the right amount of olive juice and shaken so that the perfect amount of paper-thin ice formed on the top. I've been to a few of Brown's locations and this was the Brown's Social House on 17th Ave, Calgary. It was the perfect match to go with the Tuna and Cowgirl's salad. The wasabi mayo and the almond rice was over the top (in the best way) for flavour. I immediately didn't want this meal to end. It was pure luck that I had no choice but to seek shelter from an unexpected rain storm and ran into Brown's and opted to stay for lunch to wait it out. So glad I did. Now I have a new favourite lunch dish! read more

I've been here 3 times and every time I have gone here the staff has been nothing short of extraordinary!! Some of the friendly people I've ever had the pleasure of encountering. Would highly recommend this Browns location to anyone!! read more

I went here this week with a couple of friends and was really looking forward to the Soup and Salad. I've had the Thai red curry soup all over and this did not disappoint. The Cowboy Salad, however, was a real disappointment. It used to come in a bowl in layers with corn, edamame, nuts, chicken, and a taste salsa or pico de gallo on the bottom. I don't know why restaurants have to change what works. That salad was delicious! What I got was romaine and kale (what??), croutons (again, what?), some edamame, grated feta (chunks, please), walnuts, raisins (I think) all spread out on the plate the soup bowl was on. It was really difficult to eat with such tiny pieces of everything. They've changed most of the ingredients and no salsa. Won't be ordering that again. I got it to go and threw it in the garbage outside. The service, however, was wonderful. The three stars are for our waiter and the soup. read more

Great food!! I had the blackened chickened caesar salad. It was beyond delicious, real bacon, fresh guacamole, the chicken perfectly cooked. The burgers are great too, homemade and juicy. The service was also great. The venue is nice and cozy, very welcoming. read more

I kind of don't want to post this review because this place isn't too crowded yet, and I don't want it to get popular! But I have to give credit where credit is due. This is a reasonably priced nice contemporary bar & grill. The house wine is a good choice. Attractive wait staff and good service. Good menu options and bar selection. I've got no hesitation recommending this place. read more

Good, consistent food. Friendly staff end excellent service. I have only been there for lunch or brunch but everything has been good and as expected. read more

Not impressed! Second time here. Service was poor. Natasha, the Waitress was aloof and slow. Food was cold. When mentioning this I received a $2.84 deduction from my bill. Poor service and stale cold food. I wony be back. Go somewhere else read more

My experience here varies depending on which server I get. I've had everything from excellent to I wanted to walk out. The inconsistency is disappointing. I usually have the halibut with the cowgirl salad - it's very good. I haven't found a good cocktail there yet. And once, when my server didn't come around to check if things were OK, I took a martini back to the bartender and she told me to take it back to my table and find my server. "Nothing she could do about it." I havent been back to that location since. read more

The fries and gravy are amazing as well as most things on the menu. Only food complaint is that I didn't love the sushi but that may just be personal. Some times that I've been the service has been a little odd. But importantly the food has been quite good! read more
