Browns Socialhouse is a casual yet upscale restaurant and bar specializing in fresh food, great service and socializing!
I went to Brown's Socialhouse Brentwood to celebrate a friend's birthday. We ordered drinks and had dinner. There are multiple TVs to watch sports. There is also outdoor seating available.
Brown’s is always a hit and today was super awesome because we had a waiter named Jessie who took care of our huge group really well. Food came on time, she was very welcoming and cordial to us. Great Blackened Chicken Alfredo too! I wish they bring back the Butter Chicken though!
I had the pleasure of dining at Brown Social House and left thoroughly impressed by both the cuisine and the service. I ordered the Butcher’s Block Burger, which featured a perfectly cooked, flavorful beef patty topped with crispy, smoky bacon and crisp, fresh lettuce. The attention to detail in the preparation was evident, as each component complemented the others beautifully, making for an incredibly satisfying and well-balanced burger. What truly set the experience apart, however, was the outstanding service. Erin, our waitress, was attentive and genuinely friendly, making sure our needs were met with efficiency and a warm demeanor. Her professionalism and positive attitude contributed to an inviting and enjoyable atmosphere. It’s clear that Brown Social House prioritizes both the quality of their food and the experience of their guests. For anyone seeking a combination of excellent service and a delicious, thoughtfully crafted meal, I highly recommend Brown Social House. It’s a standout choice for anyone looking to enjoy a top-notch dining experience.
Great place to dine! So peaceful to go sit there and enjoy lunch alone when I have writing or editing that needs to be done. Food is great! The music is on and there are people there but my mission is always accomplished.zero interruption (except to check that *I don’t need anything!) and I can accomplish more in a lunch hour here than in my office with a bowl of cereal. I come back feeling refreshed and accomplished! 😊
Update: Thanks to Sarah and the team for their response to our first review. We returned for brunch and had a wonderful experience. Special mention to our server, Ella, who was very attentive with our food, dietary intolerances, and hot water refills. We had the Angus Beef Hash and Blackened Chicken Wonton Soup. The wonton soup was great, but a tad spicy for my taste buds (in the future, I'd ask for the chili oil on the side). They have large TV screens as well, so it was nice to catch some morning hockey while dining! Looking forward to returning to this location in the future, given the exceptional service. Came here with a group of 8 for an early dinner. We were sat at a higher table with barstool seats, which were hard to move (as they don't glide on the flooring). Being middle-aged, some in the group needed help from others to be "pushed" closer to the table. The food was good. I had the Crispy Cauliflower and Crispy Yam & Avocado Roll (which was average for the $11 price). The cauliflower had a nice breading and was flavourful, and felt like a slightly smaller portion ("social hour" portion). We had some concerns with the lack of service. We constantly had to flag down our waitress as we wanted to place part of our order before 6 pm to take advantage of the social hour pricing. My glass of water never was refilled during the meal. For a large group, it would have been nice to get checked in on from time-to-time, as a courtesy. Because of our group size, we still had to pay the automatic 18% gratuity, but we didn't think the service warranted that amount. The food itself did come out in a timely manner and was done correctly with some diners' special requests. When asked, our server was able to take a group photo of our table. Ample parking in the parkade below with a 3-hour limit, which I was told was a non-factor after 6 pm when I called the restaurant ahead of time. Overall, we had an average experience! While the food was decent, the service for our larger group left a bit to be desired (3 stars).
You can enjoy a reasonably priced happy hour from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. There are many big tables and large space, so it's good to go with many friends.
We recently celebrated my husband's birthday at Brown's Social House in Brentwood. The ambiance was pleasant, with just the right level of noise and activity. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. For starters, we had crispy chicken and pickles, which were incredibly flavorful. Our main dishes included blackened chicken with Alfredo pasta and a crispy chicken sandwich. The Alfredo pasta was my personal favorite. Our server was friendly and even surprised us with a complimentary dessert for the occasion, which was a lovely touch.
I recently dined at Brentwood - Browns Socialhouse, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The food was nothing short of amazing. Each dish was prepared with great care and bursting with flavor. The menu offered a fantastic variety of options, ensuring there's something for everyone. The ambience was equally impressive. The atmosphere is chic and inviting, with a perfect blend of modern design and cozy touches. It’s an ideal spot for a casual lunch, a lively dinner with friends, or a relaxed date night. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall excellent dining experience. If you're looking for a place with delicious food and a great vibe, Brentwood - Browns Socialhouse is a must-visit. Highly recommended!
Good service and casual atmosphere was excellent!!
Staff are always so kind

Erin, our server, was so friendly and helpful. The food and drink were great as well. Thanks for the great service! See come back soon!
Jess was lovely. Service was amazing. I ll definitely recommend Browns just for her! :) - cant wait to come back!
Jess was the most amazing server I ve ever experienced at any Browns in metro Vancouver!!! If I could give her 10 stars, I would but sucks that it s only 5 available. Definitely coming back on Fri, Sat, Mon just for Jess!
Jess is so sweet and so caring! She truly cares and I felt so special and taken care of by her <3 she has the best hospitality ever and the kindest lady
Jess was a superstar for our group tonight. We always enjoy coming into the Browns Brentwood. Thanks Jess! And the whole Browns team!
The service provided by Jess was exceptional. She catered to our needs. Parking: Right beside the restaurant. Food : 4/5 |
Server Grayson was very polite and attentive, also enjoyed the Ginger Beef Special
The chicken burger was lit. A true royal A real W. Free deserts for the fam Erin was amazing did a great job Sarah was B+
The food was delicious!!!!! Love it Nice environment and nice service Food
The ambience was appropriate, no over crowding or loud music, our server had the perfect vibe, suggested us some good drinks and food options. Recommended.
We just finished our meal.The service was outstanding. The food was delicious. Everyone in our group loved this location.
Erin4563 was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu on TNF Cowboys @ NYG. However the Happy Hour food offerings should be more than 5 or 6 items at my fav Browns.
Food was good, service was amazing, very personable. I enjoy coming to Browns
Ella was amazing! The food was great, the experience is always the best at Browns! Dietary restrictions: We were asked about food allergies
Nice food
We had a great evening at this Browns. Service was great (thank you Caterina - you took good care of our group) and the food was delicious.
Best browns of all the Browns. So fresh and tasty! Super friendly helpful staff.
Wonderful food and very delicious very attentive friendly staff. Great service! The only quibble is maybe tone down the volume of music as it competes with conversation
Fun place to visit.
Absolutely terrible service, they do not care about their guest experience whatsoever.
Patreek and Stephanie has the most amazing customer service. Thanks for such a great service Patreek.
Terrible service/no service. Just take order and pass bill. Ask water but did not get at the end. Foods were very salt and server ignored us
Our waiter Jess was super great! She was very friendly and really sweet! Parking: Super close just difficult to find parking because it s a busy place Food : 3/5 |
Matea was outgoing and super friendly.
We just came home from this place. When we got there, there was hardly anybody seated, but unfortunately the server seated us next to a very noisy table of a couple of young men. She must have heard evidence prior to us arriving.. Her service was very good though overall. We ordered some sushi rolls and Gas, which we thought should ve included chopsticks but but we had to ask. Our drinks were very good, but I had to ask for some cherries to go with my old-fashioned. The food was excellent! The most annoying part of the whole experience, was when the manager held court for a team meeting just adjacent to us at a corner table. She was extremely loud, was basically conducting an employee review of what sounded like a new employee, along with having a cook at the table. I didn t spend over $175 to listen to the manager critiquing that employee, or listen to her .period. I m not there to listen about details of your operations. I felt very sorry for him. In my management past, discussions/meetings at that level would have been held in my office, and in private. Customer s should NEVER be exposed to that. Might come back again, but then might not. The senior Management of Browns, need to brush up on Professionalism among its employees.
We made a reservation and pre-ordered our lunch choices for our group of 24 seniors. We were greeted at the door and treated like kings & queens. They had even arranged for parking for our bus. We were seated in comfortable booths and our food arrived within half an hour. Everyone enjoyed their meal and appreciated the great service. GM Sarah and her team are amazing. We will definitely be back! (I would have chosen a rating of 10 stars if it had been an option)
Stephanie was delightfully prompt, friendly, and thorough. Well done
Great location and service and pretty good atmosphere. We were there for the hockey game. The volume should have been louder. Unfortunately its the food that needs Improvement. Like when you came in the chicken wings were the smallest in the city. Also the meat portion in both the burger and the beef bowl for half that of other restaurants. Flavors were good but wheres the beef? Thanks again
The food was absolutely fantastic. I had the avocado Benniey friend had lettuce wraps
Stopped in for a quick bite and a couple of drinks to kick off the long weekend Jenna, my waitress was excellent! And so was the sticky Thai chicken Food
Had a great time here with the wife, Stephanie was fantastic, will definitely be back again.
Stephanie made our experience so enjoyable. She is so very good at her job. Personable, knowledgeable, great sense of humour. Really made our night.
Main reason we are keep coming here is quieter atmosphere. Kid-friendliness: They gave us coloring books and crayons Food : 5/5 |
Always get the best service here! Food was great, vibes were awesome. Highly recommend, will happily continue dining here
Chicken lettuce wraps were delicious! Our server, Jess was friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back!
For the people who love alferdo, I tried the alferdo blackened chicken, and it was done esseptionally well and was very flavorful, highly recommend it
I discovered the Fancy Tomato Sandwich here when I was going in for the Ramen Bowl. Disappointed that Ramen is off the menu as it argueably is the best Ive had even after going to countless specialty Ramen restaurants, but cant wait for when they bring it back in the fall. Family friendly as we dine with kids. Lots of flexible options for splitting meals for kids. Server was bubbly, personable and great attitude. I love that we dont have to wait too long to be seated with kids. Weve walked out of Cactus Clubs and have started eating in Browns before Cactus was ready to seat us. Efficient service here at browns. Vegetarian options: Their fancy tomato sandwich Is vegetarian but chicken can be added at an extra charge.
Food was good, but not amazing and the price is pretty high, that being said what isnt these day at a restaurant. Atmosphere is pretty good too, nice tables etc.
Mina was great. Super friendly and quick. Attentive and warm. 10/10
Meena we a great server. Food was perfecr.
One of my comfort places. Good food, good beer, good ambiance. I always feel good going at Browns.
a place I sometimes go to Always friendly and fun whenever you go good mood Next time I will take a picture and upload it.
Great dinner! TJ took care of us in style! Thank you.
Watched the game here, was a good time. Staff were super friendly and quick considering the circumstances! Thanks for a good time
Talk about a change or a glow up! Whoever changed their menu, Brown s definitely needs to give them a raise. And the chefs as well for making it so consistently! I went to the Coquitlam one then made my other friends come to the Burnaby one, and they all loved it. I mean I have tried so many things here at this point, it s better than cactus and earls and it s cheaper. The quality and the workers and the management is all great too. Great job looking forward to come again 100%!
Overall 4.5. The server was very attentive and the food was great. Portion size could have been bigger but maybe that s just me. I d definitely come back!
No volume for Stanley Cup final game. Unacceptable. Do not come here to watch any sort of important game. Service and food were good, as usual.
A bit perplexing they not only didnt have sound on for the Stanley Cup finals, they wouldnt, out of corporate policy, even though most of us in the place were cheering. Odd for a sports bar filled with TVs.
Excellent service, outstanding food. If you like a good bowl, try the dragon bowl. Delicious!
Brought our dog out with us for dinner and without asking the waiter brought him water. Very accommodating and appreciated! Food and service was great
I only gave 4 stars cause they got rid of their veggie burger that I was craving so bad.
I think her name was Sarah at Browns, was very helpful and efficient. I had ordered through skip the dishes, had forgotten 1 item went to add and skip wouldn t let me. Sarah came up with a solution, really good customer service by browns. Same can t be said for Skipthedishes . Parking: Nothing to comment was a delivery order
One of the best Browns in Town
Stephanie was fantastic
I celebrated my birthday with 35 friends and we had the best experience. Manager Diego and the servers treated the entire group in the best way, making it a special night. I highly recommend it
Im not a very social person. I would prefer to stay at home to watch a game. Browns is an amazing place with an amazing atmosphere. (Tj?)was our server and her service was impeccable and she was very punctual. The food was amazing, and the gyozas were so good!!! With all the screens to watch sports it sure made it easy to watch the game! The 2nd time we went to watch hockey,we had reserved a table with the most amazing view of their big screen. The food this te around was more scrumptious then the first time!!! We will definitely be coming back here.
Steph is my fave bartender 10/10
Amazing food!! Tried their crispy cauliflower and Fettuccine Alfredo tastes amazing. Staff is friendly and service is top notch service. Have great patio seating during summers.
Overpriced, low quality food..also I asked for extra corn as a substitution instead of feta cheese and got nothing extra, and the dates were missing .stupid me for leaving a tip.
I am new to Canada and have felt left down by the friendly Canadian service experience i had thought would be the standard. Luckily at my local Browns Socialhouse i have always left with a fantastic experience! Just had my 3rd visit in 2 months and everything from service, food quality, excellent drinks and great atmosphere has been topped every time! A special shoutout to host Sarah and bartender Sam who made me feel so welcome with warm smiles and great service. Keep up the amazing work team!
Double check your meat as they tend to do whatever they feel like on the term. Mine was well done where I asked for an entirely different term.
I ordered ramen through Skip the Dishes. Unfortunately my order was not correctly made and the noodles were missing. I called the restaurant and spoke to Caterina, who went above and beyond to resolve the issue. I just wanted to say how I appreciate your service attitude and your problem-solving skills, you showed you care and that is priceless.
Ordered the bacon Benedict for lunch. Thought it was pretty decent.
I love this place, from the music they play, their food and even their friendly staff. Silvia served us tonight and she was very nice and attentive to our table. 100% recommend this place!
Chloe was our host , very friendly, the food was perfect and the atmosphere was lovely. Thank you Team Parking: Public Parking
Excelent service and food!
Best Browns in Metro Vancouver
Alicia was faboulous !! Vegetarian options: Need a little more veggie options but I eat eggs and had bacon substituted for bacon with no issues Food : 5/5 |
Came here for brunch. Lots of options to choose from in a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. Our server Alicia was very accommodating with our food preferences!
The atmosphere was great. Aliscia was great
Stephs customer service was amazing, purchased the spicy crispy chicken sandwich, 10/10
Had such a great experience. Jackson was our server and did such a great job keeping our drinks topped up and food came out quick. We d definitely come back and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a solid dinner experience.
Superb!! 5 star service definitely
Fresh and delicious! 5 stars
Parking: Good Food
Perfect packaging and Flavourful tofu lettuce wrap.
Was in on Sat celebrating my friends birthday and had a great time. Not sure what the name of the server was but the Manager (Diego) took the time to make sure our experience was amazing! He looked after the burthday girl treated us to dessert. Will be back for sure!
Weve frequented various Browns locations in the past, but this was our first time at this one. We visited on a Friday night, and they promptly seated our group of six, which was nice since we didnt have a reservation. Unfortunately, the food quality didnt meet our expectations this time. It just didnt taste as good as usual. The service was also lacking. Our server didnt check on us during our meal, and we had to wait nearly 10 minutes to get boxes for our leftovers. Overall, I wouldnt recommend this location.
Pleasant and delightful people. Good service .
Parking: Good parking Food
Erin and Sarah were so nice and made sure we were comfortable and our meals were good. We never had to go without a drink!
Diego is the best
Sylvia made my night. Wonderful lady with great positivity. She is definitely an asset to browns social house and deserves a recognition for her efforts. I will definitely be back. Cheers!
Ordered my favourite burger by delivery and the quality was so good. It was just like eating in the restaurant. I really appreciate that.
Love love love Browns. Anytime is a great time to go to Browns!! Our server was Sylvia who gave the best service I have had anywhere in a long time! What a great experience!
Celebrated Christmas party at this location.. really good food and staff was so helpful and professional
Atmosphere improved when high-volume football game was turned down about 1000 decibels on request (not mine so I know I wasnt the only one LOL) We had two burgers and they were very tasty - dont know what kind of wizardry was used on the fries...they were perfect and stayed hot till the very last. Our server TJ was great - knowledgeable, attentive, funny and got all our detailed orders exactly right. Well be back! Thanks, and hope the staff had a fun belated holiday party! Parking: Appreciated the free covered parking in the adjacent lot, especially in the rain
Small issue and the GM Diego Ribeiro handled it asap
The food was terrible. It was so over-spiced we could hardly eat it. This was the cowboy salad which we have eaten many times at other Browns so we know what it should taste like. Also the sushi. The burger and fries were nothing much to speak of. Maybe the chef had a bad night!!! Also the noise was deafening. We came out of there hoarse voiced after trying to talk to our companions. The server came by and apologized because the music was so loud and they were trying to figure out how to fix it !!! We will avoid this location in the future.
Such an accommodating restaurant! Sara the manager is outstanding ! Great service for a large good bye party !
Had a really great experience here. Service was great and felt that we were personally catered. Atmosphere in the store was fantastic and the tasty food also helped.
Expensive and you leave hungry
Very good Kid-friendliness: Everything very rich, customer service very good.
We were in last night and we had TJ, she was such a great waitress! She was so funny and gave us great ideas on what to eat! Super quick service. We hope we get her next time! Thanks TJ!!
Sams the man. Best server/bartender at this location.
Amazing taste and vibe Professional and available servers Just we ordered 3 items and they served our order one by one and we waited 5 more minutes for the last meals Food : 5/5
Diego and his staff went above and beyond for the hockey team I manage. We booked the day prior for a group of 30, and they went above and beyond in so many ways. I had called 4 other restaurants prior to Browns and none were willing to accommodate us due to our number and it being a Friday night. So grateful for the service and delicious food! Hands down one of the best restaurant experiences I ve ever had. We will definitely be back.
Sadye and Sarah were both wonderful. Sarah is pretty easy on the eye too! Food
Thank you to the blonde girl from the bar team who served us & allowed my fiancé to bring in her Starbucks
It was nice to be somewhere low key and chill for a mom and dads night out Kid-friendliness: Amazing Food : 5/5 |
It was a good experience. We went when it was busy but still was able to get a spot and service was good!
Not as hoped for. Everything was tepid
The music is a little to loud. We had a hard time hearing each other. Another table was complaining to the waitress about the same issue. Otherwise it was great!
Miranda is amazing !!!! She deserves a raise and huge tips !!! Awesome !! You made the night better.
excellent service! Sara, Sadie & Stephanie are top notch! Vegetarian options: Need more options...veg burger is good Food : 5/5 |
Great experience service food drinks all whole nine yards
Always make a point of coming here whenever Im in the area. My favourite location by far.
Our waitress forgot about us (was not busy). We saw her chatting at the bar with other co workers and the kitchen staff regularly. When she realized she forgot about us she gave no apologies and had another staff member come to our table for the bill. No accountability. They need to hire better staff.
Unfortunatelly i (personally) didnt have a great experience at this location! They didnt have my preffered drink (which you will find in any other restaurant) and i wasnt offered/suggest any other good options. Service was poor! Since they were focusing in another table with 6-8 ppl apparently friends/co-workers So yeah unfortunatelly not a comeback for me!
Sam s attention was really good!
Good food and service for a chain style restaurant.
We planned a reunion for our 46 year and it was the perfect spot. The management staff along with our server Syliva was outstanding. Thanks to you all for making it a success.
I was with the Grad 77 group on Sat Eve and our server Silvia was wonderful, everything went smoothly, thank you!
Sylvia, our server, was a major factor in the success of our event. She never seemed rushed and handled everyones requests with ease. Best Browns experience!
Amazing!!!!
Sam did a good job. He treat us with full respect and always with sympathy
I suggest you try this bowl. It is a good place for gathering and tasting fresh foods.
Sam and Sade are the best
The happy hour is pretty good but nothing makes me happier then seeing sadye working! And the food is always bomb!
Always a comfortable vibe, better when Sadye is working, great food
Always love the billings and the social hour specials. We had Ish as a server and he was awesome!
Sylvia was a great host!
Great people running this place. Staff is very friendly.
Was pleasantly surprised by the appies we had but the service was almost nonexistent. I left without knowing who our server was because we would just flag down whomever we could catch the eye of. There were only 2 other tables besides the people at the bar meanwhile servers dancing and gossiping which is all good but not when customers are looking to spend money and would like to be asked if they need something rather than waving a random employee down
Chloe was an amazing server and would defenitely be coming back!
Ish
Our server Mina was great! Attentive, helpful, and friendly. Food was excellent!!! Overall lovely place to eat and socialize.
Definitely not the franchise restaurant and location i would choose. It was fairly appalling to see the amount of guac they put for the quacamole and chips. Food was below par. There are tons of other places around here that would be a better visit.
Great Service!
Good food and great atmosphere. Really need to advertise the secret kids menu more. Looks like the curry has been removed, at least it is no longer listed on the menu via the website, which if true is a huge disappointment and a mistake.
Great service!!
Service and food are both great at this location! Even with new patio dining only restrictions - due to covid restrictions, they have space heaters at most tables to ensure that customers are still comfortable. They also accept reservations, which is hard to find since the new restrictions. If youre looking for a nice meal out (and that also means outside), this is definitely the place to go!
Normally Browns hits it out of the park for its price point, but tonight we waited nearly 15 minutes before a server came to get us a drink order and only after my partner went to the bar to request a server to come to our table. Our food was delicious once it got to us, but our appy and our mains all came out at once despite my asking the appy come out first. Staff were friendly enough and apologetic for some things, but the thing is, it wasnt crazy busy in the lounge when we came in just before 5pm. Well give this location another shot but Im hoping they can show up a bit better next time.
paige was amazing. the fish and chips are kinda bland but preference thing.
I have become used to the lack of customer service places have these days, this place is different. I arrived 5 minutes early to pick up take out. In those 5 minutes, 3 people checked to make sure I had been helped. When my food was ready, another nice person brought me my food with a handwritten note on the bag thanking me for my business. I highly recommend them for their service alone. The food was really good too.
Nice vibe and fast service on a busy night but very disappointed in the food, wish they took longer to cook it properly. Under-cooked veggies and no seasoning. Bland and basic.
Amazing service from the servers, food tasted delicious and very accommodating on the food
Marvelous service and Butcher Block burger is very good, plenty of flavour and texture. Fries are great but NOT enough.. would have liked more.. next time Parking: Didnt know you can park in the adjacent complex for no charge
Brown social houses are all very similar however this one was quite nice inside. Very pleasant staff and what youd expect from Browns in regards to food and beverages. It was a good time.
Fantastic time, but was super disappointed to see the butter chicken off the menu, it was by far the best thing on the menu and the reason my grandma and i would come weekly! Hope to see it back!
Stephanie was such a fantastic server, she made my lunch (and sneaky midday wine) so much better than if I had just stayed at home.
Amazing experience during my dinner. Diego and Jenna are really nice and gave to me and my friends an awesome customer service. I recommend this place!
Perfect service and delicious food. Diego and Jenna have the best customer service ever. I ll recommend this pace to all my friends! Food : 5/5
The staff are always super fun and lovely and the food is always good!
Excellent. We both had soup, salad and garlic toast. Great food. Service was excellent. Good all around.
Thank you, Peter, and the Burnaby Browns, social House staff! Thank you for a wonderful evening and the best cowboy salad ever!
Stephanie was very welcoming, I been there this afternoon. She will go beyond to give excellent customer service and great food
Pleasant family dinner. Good food that was prepared well.
Vegetarian options: Very good options for vegetarians and gluten free as well. Enjoyed our meals. Food
Browns is always a fun place to go to period great food And staff period
