Delicious wrap with pork belly, I ate half before I could take a photo. Webster was warm and friendly, it’s in the art gallery and the view is special. Rare find

I wish I could leave 100 stars.
My dog was diagnosed with osteosarcoma Friday, which will be fatal. This restaurant had no idea. I called Friday to make reservations and everyone was immodestly warm and welcoming. My dog is almost 200 pounds so when a place says “dog friendly” they aren’t always so friendly when a mini horse shows up. Webster and the staff were SO incredible. We sat outside and were swarmed by bees and immediately the manager and staff made a place for us inside - even with my Boomer boy. The drinks and food are out of this world. I’m so incredibly thankful for the kindness of everyone at this restaurant. The live music is just an added layer of an amazing brunch experience. Thank you SO much!

I had a great visit to Brown Hound Downtown at the Memorial Art Gallery! The chicken and waffles were really good, and Allen Sanders, our waiter, made the experience even better with his excellent recommendations and engaging personality. We were warmly greeted at the door by Webster Blackmon, whose calm and kind welcome set the perfect tone for our visit. Great food, wonderful service—I’ll definitely be back!

We just had the best brunch! The staff were so friendly and great with the kids. The food is delicious and the live music at the end made it a very special brunch!

The host squeezed us in without a reservation. He was very accommodating. Great brunch and great music.

Phenomenal service and food. Webster is a fantastic guy. Checked on every single table to make sure everyone was enjoying their meals and if there was anything he could do. Our server was quick, friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Very different spot than the norm inside the museum which makes it even more unique. Prices were fair as well. Thanks for the great experience guys! Will be back!

Had an amazing lunch at brownhound today! Biscuits and gravy were 10/10. Live music was a nice touch. Despite being busy for the Art sale service was fast and friendly!

Extremely disappointing experience. Despite having a reservation, we were left waiting for 10 minutes with zero acknowledgment—only to be casually signaled from upstairs to come seat ourselves. There was absolutely no proper serving etiquette or professionalism from the staff. It felt chaotic and unwelcoming from the start.

After we decided to leave due to how uncomfortable the whole situation felt, I called the restaurant to speak with someone about what happened. Shockingly, the person who answered (who seemed to be a server or busser) flat-out refused to give me the name of the general manager. That level of evasiveness says a lot.

I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for a respectful or well-run dining experience.

Great visit and fantastic lunch.

Members of my family enjoyed their food more than I as I didn't like my food at all and gave it to family. unfortunately no one was ecstatic or had that ..yea we will be back for brunch again. The service and all had people at least wanting to try dinner. The musician was top tier!
