Surprisingly.... an all around great experience at Brown's on a Saturday afternoon. This is the 4th Brown's location in Alberta that I have visited, and each time is pretty "meh". I'm glad I decided to give it another chance. Seating is very limited due to Covid restrictions, but I'm so happy to see that they are taking it seriously. I have a slight obsession with trying Poke bowls at different restaurants.. so of course that's what I went for here. It was put together really well. The ingredients tasted really fresh. We shared a slice of key lime pie to finish up, and I'm so glad we did. This is definitely my favourite... the crust is delicious and the filling is velvety smooth. Highly recommended! read more

Food/Service/Punctuality were top notch. Meals were terrific. Food was reasonably priced. Great Job! We will be back.

We were looking for a place to hold a get together before Christmas with our company. Browns had made every effort to provide us with the most space and comfort for the time of year. I was a little worried about being on The patio in the middle of December but it was very comfortable. Other then some hiccups with the billing everything was great will book again in the future. Thank you so much for giving us the best time on a short timeline. read more

We were seated right away which is nice. The atmosphere here is really fresh. Service was also really good. My friend and I both ordered things we haven't had before. I had the Tuna and crunchy noodles and we shared a pie of key lime pie which we ate so fast and forgot to take a photo of. It is worth all the calories!!!! Best key lime pie we have ever had. read more

Browns Socialhouse St. Albert - a plate of food - Pubs Near Me - St. Albert, Alberta

I live in south Edmonton and was on my way to Morinville to house/cat sit for my son, with my Mom who is 88. We had dined at this locations a few times through the years, and we were very impressed, especially with the fish and chips and the cauliflower appy. We decided to treat ourselves that day, March 24, at around 2pm, and we ordered the cauliflower appy and fish and chips to share; we are not cheap, just not big eaters. I ordered a glass of wine which was apparently sold out. Our server did let me try 2 alternatives wine samples, and I gratefully chose one. Our server was doing double duty; serving inside and outside on the patio. We were not n a rush, and when our food came, separated into two plates, we were impressed; however, after our food was delivered, it was 5 mins. before we got utensils (I noted that an empty table beside us had utensils that could have been served to us immediately. Still optimistic, we used our fingers to try the cauliflower and chips. The chips were luke warm, and the cauliflower was definitely not tempera battered as we had previously loved and experienced. They were barely cooked and breaded. Our French fry's were Luke warm and once we got our cutlery to try our fish, it was quite browned on the outside but pasty on the inside. Too hot an oil I think! Our server did not have time to come back to check if our food was satisfactory until we were ready for the bill. She asked if everything was alright, and I told her that honestly the fries were good, but cold, and the fish was pasty. She apologize; however, we got the full bill for very disappointing and barely eaten food! Will not be wasting money at this restaurant anytime soon. Very disappointed! I did tip our server well because of my background in the industry. She was pleasant, but too busy! read more

Nice friendly staff! Ordered Salt and Pepper Dry Ribs. They were good. Some bones had no meat but pretty good. Ordered the Tuna Poke bowl. Not good, especially for over $20. I have had poke bowls in so many places around the country and was disappointed in the portions of the ingredients and the flavor and texture of the rice. Tried someone's fries. They seemed soggy. One of the fries you could taste the oil. Was the fryer hot enough? How long did they sit before being served? Maybe this is a good place for happy hour! The server did not seem to know the beers on tap. read more

Great food and service! Nice place for a eat out. Satisfied! Convenient location we tried fish and chips! read more

Honestly I am surprised I haven't already rated this place! I thought I had but here goes. Way before covid this was a fav spot to go. It is a Browns so the menu is standard but I have never went to a Browns and been disappointed. Love the dynamite rolls or dry ribs to start. The burgers are great, the ramen is great, the butter chicken is great as are the fish tacos. The Oreo cheesecake dessert is to die for. Thats me gushing over the food. The service has always been great and like all Browns it has a chill vibe. In the summer the "patio" is awesome to sit on. Great place for a nice pre movie meal. read more

We enjoyed our meal. Service was good. Asked for a slushy sweet cocktail and didn't get what I wanted and they brought me another drink which was way better. Waiter was great with the toddlers. Ordered and brought their food quickly read more

I was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease, so it is hard to find places that take it seriously, and can accommodate. This establishment was no different than most. We stopped at Brown's St. Albert to enjoy happy hour before a movie at Landmark. When we walked in, we were the only four guests in the restaurant. The manager made a weird comment about if we were sure we didn't want to go to Brewhouse across the way, and we thought that maybe they wanted to close up early since it was so dead, he clarified that was not the case - so we chalked it up to a weird joke because of how dead it was. My friends were all good to eat or drink whatever, so they were not picky and enjoyed the happy hour offerings. My husband had buffalo wings which he quite enjoyed, and he and I shared Edamame beans. I asked if it was possible to make the Dynamite Rolls gluten free, and was told that with a few changes it could be done. I was informed that if I ordered anything deep fried, there could be cross contamination, but the fryers were "just cleaned". I passed on any fried options. When my food arrived, I realised I had dropped the ball, and did not ask if the Soy Sauce was gluten free. The manager went to the back to check, while I took the side cup of Soy Sauce off my plate for the time being. When the manager arrived back at my table, Gluten-Free Soy Sauce container in hand, he made an odd comment about how it "must be pretty serious" in a sarcastic tone, as if he thought that I was already consuming the soy sauce without confirmation. All in all, the food was good, and the drinks were delicious - but the manager's weird comments were unnecessary, and did not make me feel at-ease about eating the food out of their kitchen. Unless it is for quick drinks before a movie, I will not be headed back to this location in the foreseeable future. As a side note - I have heard that the Sherwood Park location takes Gluten allergies/auto-immune diseases seriously, and even have a designated deep fryer which they do not contaminate with glutenous foods! I will need to try them out next! read more

There was 9 of us and the service was slow to start. The manager was a little creepy to our 15 year old daughter. Food was good. Drinks were good. Service was so so. read more

First time to this location but not a first time to a Browns Social House. First impression didnt start off too good for the hostess, who seated us. Was seated by the front door and when we requested a high chair or booster seat, she realized that a high chair would block the walkway and suggested we moved to a table, 4feet away. The hostess then walked away, leaving us standing next to the table, awkwardly looking around, waiting g for her return. She then decided to help another customer and we were STILL standing there, like "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot"?! Our server, Cienna turned the tables back in her favor, by bringing us a booster seat for the child with is, AND placed us back in our original seats. For there, the experience went thru the roof, as the food quality and service, was as I expected. Shout out to Cienna for making our visit, finish off on a much higher note. read more

Went there tonight for my birthday dinner, Service was slow and poor. Not once was I asked if I wanted another drink or anyone else at the table. We started with nachos but when they came the cheese wasn't even melted..... our mains came out in 3 different times. My dads was cold and the sauce had spilled over his sandwich, my moms burger wasn't even cooked all the way. So disappointing. The server didn't apologize once. The manager came over and took my parents meals off, which duh they didn't even eat them and it was so late at this point we didn't want to wait any longer for food. I've always loved browns and raved about it. Severely disappointed in this location and will NOT be giving it another chance. read more

This is going to be fairly short but just wanted to give a little praise. My date and I went out for a little bite to eat last night (Saturday, October 6th) and had the greatest experience! The restaurant was warm and inviting with many booths. The hostess was sweet and chatted with us. Our server Jill was fantastic!! Chatted with us, made us laugh and was perfectly attentive. It's rare to get an amazing server nowadays. Although, I have to say I think I've always had good service at the Browns off the Henday.I will ask for Jill's section next time I'm there. And that will be sooner than later :) As well, the evening manager came by often to see how we were enjoying everything. He was a great conversationalist and very entertaining! His name escapes me but I know he will be enjoying all you can eat Korean BBQ and sushi soon To wrap up, (ended up not being short) the food was fantastic, the service was phenomenal and the management cared about patrons experience. Perfect combination for a great night out! read more

I went to Brown's for date night. We get in and the place is packed. We go and talk to the hostess and she advises we join the waitlist on Yelp, which was fine, except the wait was over an hour at 4 pm. But because we've never eaten here before, we decided to sit in our vehicle and wait. When we finally got seated, the two of us were at a huge booth while bigger groups were at smaller tables. We ordered an appetizer and 2 mains. The food came out promptly except the mains came out before the appetizer. When I stopped the waitress to inquire about this, she admitted she never even put the order for our appetizers in. I get it, it was busy but that's obviously not good for the restaurants bottom line. Anyways, we opted to skip the appetizer and just have our main course which was a burger. It was really good but nothing spectacular. If Brown's wasn't busy and I was in the area I would go back; however, I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there again after the mediocre experience. read more

I have been here 4 times 2 great 2 not so much, service is always great and atmosphere is perfect. My only beef is the steak (pun intended) 1st time I had it my word it was amazing. but the last 2 times man alive MEDIUM RARE is not medium. for a very expensive meal that is unacceptable and the garlic butter is frozen which is not ok it does melt but makes your steak cold. I am not one to send something back,the but I will if it happens again. Also, the desert menu lacks, nothing really nice there just skip it.dessert read more

Table of loud drunks at 5:30 screaming and swearing and nothing was done. Had to leave

Overall, not very impressed with this location. My mother was really excited to have me try this place, but never been to the St. Albert location. Staff were great, polite and quick. Kitchen took a lot time though. And we were only one of maybe 5 tables. The coffee had at the Manning location was delicious but at this location not so much... The Ramen bowl my mother ordered had bean sprouts missing. I had the dragon bowl, which was delicious. My niece had the child fettuccine and it was bland and tasteless, she refused to eat it. Overall, service was good, food was okay, disappointed with this location. read more

Second visit in as many weeks. Excellent service and great food. A very busy Friday night so we had to wait to be seated in the dining room.

Visited Brown's Social House in St. Albert. As usual, it exceeded expectations. There is nothing better after a long day of work than going somewhere where they make you feel at home. Had the pleasure of having Connor look after us. Great service, great conversation and great menu recommendations. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

Possibly the worst service I've ever had at a Browns. It took nearly 10 minutes for me to have my drink order taken. And other 10 to have it brought out. This happened every time we went to order a drink. Then when my Caesar came I could see that it had horseradish in it. My friend had ordered her virgin Caesar before I got there and there was no horseradish in her drink. So I told the waitress I didn't like horseradish. She said, "We'll are you allergic or do you just not like it? Why don't you try it and see if you like it?" Instead of just offering me a Caesar without horseradish like my friend got. She was so rude and said I should have read the drink menu. The rest of the meal she was rude and awkward with us. Totally unenjoyable meal for my friends and I. We won't be back. read more

This is our favourite place right now to go after a movie or for a quick drink and a bite. Staff has been attentive and personable. The other night there weren't any booths available and they were quick to add us to the wait list app and we sat at the bar. We enjoyed the bar so much we just stayed there instead of going to a booth, which was available shortly after we arrived. I like the noise level, staff and the food. read more

Don't come here before your movie! You will never make on time. Service is so slow and they don't serve on the patio. They take your info for your spot in line. Then they basically asked us to leave, we will text you. Okay can we wait on the patio? If you need to. Well they gave me my coffee for free and appoligized for not getting us in time for our movie. read more

Have been here a few times now. Always great service and the food is fantastic. Love having more restaurants open on the north aid

My wife and I have always had a great experience here. Great staff and the food is awesome. Some really unique features in the room that's for sure. Cant wait to visit again. read more

Been to many Browns social house locations, and while on the pricey side, I have always enjoyed what I ordered . This St. Albert location was horrible. The portions were pathetic, the food had no flavour, and was not cooked very well. My friend wouldn't even eat it, and she was super disappointed that I chose Browns for our outing. I was hungry though, and even though it wasn't good, I ate the tiny portion of poorly made food that was on our plates before the server ever made it around to ask how it was. I had even cleared the plates from our table and placed them on the one beside us so we wouldn't have to look at it anymore. When the server did finally come around and ask how it was, we told her the truth. She mentioned it to her manager, who came over and was extremely rude, and didnt seem to care that our food was bad, saying that everything is made according to their specs. Well if that's the quality of food you want to serve and you dont want feedback on how bad it was, I guess we'll just have to never return to your establishment. We really should have just brought the food back to the bar or kitchen straight away and maybe the results would have been different. But I still think it would have been a courtesy to remove perhaps one of the dishes from our bill, or offer another way to fix the uncomfortable dissappointed we experienced at this restaurant today. I wouldn't bother eating here, save your money for something better tasting and better quality. The server herself was a nice young lady, and the beer was good and thats about it. read more

Very nice atmosphere, very impressed by the quality of food very fresh and tasty, really nice to have the manager walking around and taking to customer ,something very rare this days!! Will go back for sure. read more

Absolutely horrible waitlist system, probably will not return to this location due to the very disappointing experience I had with the rudeness from the hostess and the online wait list which I was told was "not synced with the restaurant and that I should've just come in the restaurant for the waitlist". This was delivered with little to no explanation and a rude response with no apology whatsoever for my frustration. First time I had come to browns in over a year and definitely do not plan on returning. read more

I was going there every week with my wife , and I like the bartenders , polite and professional hands down . Now last Saturday I spend the evening there as I always , we are a group of three and we decided to leave and visit across the street at brew house , it's really not my scene and the service is mediocre. Once again disappointed. My wife came and meet me there , we are loud cause we are just laughing and having fun , it's dead there ,matter of fact we were the only table , so obviously everyone (employees) are paying attention to us . We order another round and I guess we were bothering them cause they got us water instead . Now I'm mad cause we didn't have much to drink at all and we got cut off? We are all in our 40's here and responsible,no need for this , so anyway once again just not happy about this place so I ask for my bill , which it was 15$ , yes 15$ equal to 2 drinks . So I told the waitress that we are ,ma and my wife going to browns where we belong and get good service. From there everything is ok , we are hungry and we wanna go say hi to Baxter the barman . At the door the manager run to us and ask us if we are coming from next door , so right away we are saying no cause we were wondering what is going on . Sure enough , the management from brew house called Browns and I don't know what kind of lies they say but somehow without even asking anything to us ,and in a really careless matter , ask us to leave ?!?!? Wtf is this ??? I am there every week since opening and I'm always polite and respectful and that's how this shorty blonde hair male manager will treat us ?? Shame on browns and we will never go there again ! I will not recommend this place to anyone cause of he's lack of professionalism! We were supposed to do our company Christmas party there (20 employees) and no , screw this !! Thanks Browns !!!! P.S we never been so humiliated this way anywhere , that is a disgusting way to treat people and specially that we never disrespected anyone there , and that could be verified with the employees that work there , they know us as we are always there , this manager is the most unprofessional I came across, it will take alots to digest this . We are well known in the industry as I was a restaurant owner and bar manager for years and my GF works in this industry as we speak , next time ask questions and make your own judgment!! Don't throw customers out like we are garbage !!! I will add up that I did this honest review on google and they got it removed twice already!! Wow ! read more

Had a great lunch! Burgers tasted great and the #28 dragon bowl was really good. Be back again. Service was good.

No appropriate allergy protocal - people could die from this carelessness. Management blamed our table for the incorrect bills telling us we were "accountable for the mistakes". read more
