    Brownstone has made its legacy in Bergen County and it never disappoints. First of all, I appreciate the valet parking. There's never a set price and it makes it very convenient, especially in "hard to find parking" Edgewater. Even though the restaurant is ALWAYS packed, they do a great job at treating their customers with patience, professionalism, and a smile. We were no different, as Cami was a delightful Server. She went above and beyond for our comfort and even offered us a free colossal ice cream float (that another customer did not want), which we declined, or else it would have added a sweet and delightful 3,800 calories. I started with a Mocha Cappuccino and it was amazing. The drizzle of chocolate, after being stirred throughout the mug, adds the perfect amount of sweetness that does not require added sugar. It also makes you forget about the cold that inevitably you'll have to endure after the meal. During this visit, we ordered the following: Blueberry Pancakes (Fresh blueberries baked inside and on to top, served with blueberry compote on the side). These blueberries were not only exquisite, but there were enough blueberries/compote to accompany every bite. The other was the Gourmet Mushroom & Stomach Omelet (With fresh mushrooms, spinach, garlic & goat cheese). Every ingredient was fresh, the goat cheese was so deliciously creamy, and to-go boxes were necessary, because Brownstone always serves large portions. Will I return to Brownstone?.... ABSOLUTELY. Do I recommend it?....I don't have to.....it's already a Bergen County celebrity and sets the bar high for other breakfast eateries.

    Brownstone Pancake Factory didn't disappoint. This dinner had an unbelievable amount of options. I went with the breakfast combo and the best part was the fluffy pancakes. The place seemed to be a little expensive but what isn't nowadays. When we pulled up we had vallet parking and lucky today it wasn't packed but I've heard on the weekends you can wait for hours. Service was on point and the place seemed to be warm and welcoming. Wish I took more pictures!

    Brownstone!! You did not disappoint! We celebrated my daughter's golden birthday there and everything from greeting to service was on point! The restaurant is very clean, and all the staff are very welcoming! The attentiveness of our waiter was above and beyond! So Thank you Alfanso S. for your service and making my daughter's day special! The prices of the food is worth it because it's a lot of food! They have a coffee bar so Thank goodness good amounts of caffeine were available. I had like 2 lattes back to back. The parking is valet so bring some cash for tip! I'm very happy we chose Brownstone to start my daughter's birthday celebration!!! Enjoy!

    Was in NJ/NYC for the holidays and got to meet up with some family and try this spot out for brunch. We had a group of 6 and got there around 11am and were seated right away. The menu is huge, the ambiance is fun and so is the vibe. Staff was nice and all the food arrived pretty quickly. I had their croissant breakfast sandwich and their biscuits and gravy. My fiancé had peanut butter pancakes that were stacked and delicious. The rest of the family had a variety of meals from French onion soup to omelets. Everyone was happy and satisfied. Would definitely go back!

    I haven't been here in years. The first thing we were not thrilled with was you have to valet. There is no other option. We don't love to valet so we were disappointed with this aspect. One of the most things I appreciated with the overall experience was Roger. He was very friendly and when he seated us, he sat us at a roomy table. This was great! Many restaurants don't pay attention to people's sizes and sit them in inappropriate seating. My husband is a big guy and is often uncomfortable. So kudos to Roger for seeing and knowing this. Our waiter was also very nice. His name was Adrian. I also liked the decor. The thing we were not that impressed with was the taste of the food and the look of it. It was average at best. They had gluten free pancakes, but would have been nice to know the ingredients. I did not ask but did not see on the menu. You also had to get 2 egg whites. My husband's omelette also did not seem like it had much cheese. He left 1/2 of it which he does not do often. Also the bathroom was small & very crowded. 2 stalls and 1 sink. This was not enough for how many people were there and I found myself waiting longer than you should have to. The one other thing that seemed enjoyable was the birthday celebrations. They pulled out all stops and I'm sure those pictures are great. The regular hot coffee was also good. I would go back and try lunch or dinner hoping for a better food tasting experience.

    Man, this place is packed. Luckily there is valet parking because otherwise I would have had to drive on past. At 10:30ish on a Sunday, there were a lot of people waiting, but as a party of 2, we were luckily seated immediately. I'm sure results vary. Even though it was packed, it wasn't overly noisy. Despite the packed house, our server was really good about getting our order and coffee refills. There are a lot of good options on the menu, but I went with the meat combo omelet. It was really packed heavy with meat and came with a hearty portion of home fries. My friend got the blueberry coconut French toast which looked like a beautiful dessert, but the combo comes with a big sausage link and eggs to add a little meal variety. The food and service were a definite 5. They don't take reservations/call ahead seating, so I recommend getting here earlier if you don't want to wait. Otherwise, it's a solid brunch option.

    Love to come to this restaurant! When you arrive, they have valet parking only. Make sure to bring a few bucks to tip the valet staff (I don't always carry cash so I feel bad not tipping when we leave). But yeah, so the place itself is nice and big. The staff I had help my table were always so nice and friendly. The menu has so many yummy options and the food portion is big so get ready to either grub or take home some of your left overs lol. I came here 3 times so far and will be coming more in the future!

    Brownstone Pancake Factory is a whole vibe . The portions are insane like, when you order a milkshake, it's not just a milkshake, it's an art piece. Super extra, super fantastic, and totally worth it. We loved every single dish! Everything we tried was delicious, and the staff is so friendly. Perfect spot for a family brunch, catching up with friends, or just treating yourself. Definitely coming back and if you want brunch done right, this is it.

    The Challah french toast and coffee I had were great. Shared the eggs benny with the corned beef hash and that was fantastic. Service was just okay and it was not busy.

    I came here for breakfast with my cousin. We wanted to grab breakfast before heading to Sojo Spa down the block. We got to the restaurant around 8:45am. They had a menu with discounts for customers who came in before 10am. We both ordered the 2 eggs, bacon, 1 sausage, and 2 pancake meal with a side of potatoes. The food came out quickly. The food was so delicious! YUM! The pancakes were really fluffy and the powdered sugar added just the right touch. The food was extremely filling. The meal was only $12 so the bill came to around $40 for the both of us. I'm definitely going to stop here before going to the spa moving forward. Perfect spot! *Service was great and the restaurant was clean. Nice atmosphere too.

    Brownstone pancake factory has an elevated diner feel. They have a really extensive menu and I believe the breakfast is made to order. The pancakes are delicious and fresh. I loved the letter "B" they made with the powered sugar! I took my friend here for her birthday breakfast and she was delighted. It was her first time at Brownstone and loved the breakfast. She had the Baja Skillet which was hot and fresh. I had the pancake breakfast combo and subbed the buttermilk pancakes for chocolate chip. The breakfast was delicious. The orange juice was indeed freshly squeezed and refreshing. The service was good and she gave us plenty of time to explore the menu without rush. However the only disappointment was that I asked them if they could sing happy birthday to my friend and they forgot. I excused myself from the table to request them to sing happy birthday to my friend as a surprise but I couldn't find my waitress. I spoke with another waitress in hopes that she would relay the message but I'm not sure if she did. The waitress I spoke with said that she would and asked me to pick out a cupcake so they could bring it when they sang. There were at least 3 other birthdays that morning and it looked so fun. They had a mini bubble machine and fun candles. I was really really looking forward to my friend being celebrated but unfortunately that did not happen. Besides that incident I would return for the breakfast because it was delicious and I felt like the prices were fair. If you go for a birthday make sure to remind your server just in case. TIPS- This location has complimentary valet parking, no self parking allowed. Friday, Saturday and Sundays are ALWAYS packed so be prepared to wait. Going during the week might be your best bet for little to no wait times.

    I've visited their locations in Edgewater and Englewood Cliffs, and both consistently deliver a very good experience. The menu is extensive, offering lots of unique choices to satisfy any craving. Two of us tried the omelets (Aegean and Gourmet Mushroom), and they were huge! Definitely enough for leftovers--perfect for a second breakfast at home. The Jersey Benedict with Taylor Ham is always a favorite as is the various pancake options. Bottomless coffee is a nice touch, keeping the breakfast vibe going strong. The milkshakes are showstoppers, and the hot cocoa comes loaded with whipped cream for an indulgent treat. While it's not the cheapest breakfast option, the generous portions, quality, and service make it worth it.

    Mozzarella sticks, eggs, bacon, sausage, French toast, hot chocolate.

    Cool vibes for a restaurant. The service was good and the server was very friendly. There was a big variety of options and the food was pretty tasty.

It has only one store, which is found on Amsterdam Avenue on the Upper West Side of New York City, - and it has changed very little over the past 120+ years. Most famous for its Smoked Fish, especially its Smoked Sturgeon, Barney Greengrass has an extensive menu along this line, offering mostly cured fish items, either in sliced form, or as smoked fish salads. However there is a small list of meat sandwiches that are offered as well, making Barney Greengrass yet another great Jewish Deli in NYC that is NOT Kosher. During my numerous visit between 1976 and 1999, the service at Barney Greengrass has always been friendly and informative. It made me feel like I was a regular here, even during my fist visit. I always make sure to get one the platters, which can be any combination of three smoked fish items. Usually select the Sturgeon, the Nova, and the White Fish, which comes two Bagels. I found it good to get a large of their amazing Borscht as well, as a refreshing pallet cleanser. And just to mix things up a bit, I once slit a Pastrami Sandwich, whish was on the small side for an NYC Deli, but was delicious that it was well worth price. Other items of is their Pickled Herring Salad, their White Fish Salad, and especially their Latkes (potato pancakes).

    So fun!

SO good! Perfectly balanced and just so yummy! - honey butter pull apart bread. Yummy but I could have skipped this one - pickled veggies - I love veggies and these were great! Not too salty and the dip it came with was delicious Main meal: roast beef on homemade bread with mushrooms, au jus, and coleslaw - yaaaas. Absolutely delicious and huge! I only ate half. Loved this!

Our servers was nice but did not check on us nor did we get what we asked for for ex. Sauces, straws etc. It wasn't just my table it was ALL the tables. I'm not sure if the waiters had too much tables to cater too at once but the service was truly lacking. We even waited 40 mins for the check alone. I could understand if it was the weekend and it was packed but I feel like it was enough servers to provide adequate service. I will be back.
