Great food and fun!

Good menu nice staff fast service good food one of the best places to eat and drink in nanaimo the drinks are good big selection and variety

I order the bowl of soup through delivery and the price for a bowl is $11. Extra $3.25 if you want to add couple slices of bread. The bowl of soup was half way full. The size is so small it felt like a children’s portion for what it is and the price.

We came on Saturday of the long-term weekend to celebrate 3 things, my girlfriend's birthday, my graduation from college, and my engagement. The waitress, whose name I can't remember, that helped us on the patio was fabulous. Very friendly and excited for our celebration. When the bill came they paid for the first round of drinks to celebrate with us.
Best raspberry Margaritas in town.

Great food, great service, and a typical socialclub atmosphere. We sat outside next to the big road but the hedge seperated you from the noisy road! We were surprised by the food!

Had a steak returned 2 times and both were cooked all the way through, friendly and happy staff but the kitchen staff needs to learn how to properly cook a steak

My son and I come to Browns every so often and usually enjoy it, but our most recent visit was a bit of a mixed bag.

Our server was absolutely lovely — warm, attentive, and professional — and she really was the highlight of our visit. Unfortunately, the kitchen missed the mark this time.

We ordered the calamari to start, and it was overloaded with jalapeños and so salty it was inedible. We had to send it back, which we rarely do. When we let the manager know, he simply took it back to the kitchen without much follow-up, which felt a little brushed off.

Both of us ordered steaks medium rare. Mine came out fine, but my son’s was well done — twice. They remade it once, but the second one still came out overcooked. On top of that, the fries were overly greasy and unappetizing, so I left most of them untouched.

We could also hear multiple dishes being dropped and broken in the kitchen throughout our meal, which didn’t help the impression of a smooth or organized operation.

We’ve had better experiences here, so this was disappointing. I hope the kitchen tightens things up, because we’d like to keep coming back — but consistency matters.

It's pretty pathetic that they can't give enough food for you to feel full. Prices are high for the amount of food you're getting. Barely any rice in my rice bowl.

Ordered the blackened chicken Alfredo. The chicken breast was microscopic. It’s laughable what they served up for a 26$ plate of pasta, everyone at my table laughed when it came out. Medium sized would have been acceptable but this was tiny! Unfortunately the waitress (who was nice) got my husbands lunch order wrong, so she ordered us a new one, and we only got it as we were leaving (they did comp us the meal) which is why my service rating is good. Also, sorry to say, they played the same annoying song 3 times when we were there for only an hour. It was just a kinda crappy experience. Browns - people won’t come back if you serve ridiculously small protein servings, cop on!

Isabelle was amazing. She greeted us with a smile and suggested some dishes that hit. She remembered little details and checked in just enough so we never felt rushed. She made our evening feel special. If she’s your server you’re in for a great time!

Good food but the manger accused us of being drunk and sluring our words we only had 1 drink

I order through food delivery service often and the food is not always consistent in quality. The most recent experience, they shorted me my extra meat portion. The bacon was undercooked and the noodles soggy. The distance from resturant to my location is less than 10 minutes away, so that showing be a factor.
