Here's the Scoop!: Came for breakfast with my husband and son. Upon arriving it was packed as usual. Many customers were waiting in there cars to be called. The hostess said there was about 30 minute wait. So we stayed. Customers were constantly coming in. That's a sure sign that the food is delicious. This is the first time that I was at this location. The hostess was friendly and the seating was definitely different from the other location in the Centereach area. There's a small waiting area with a bench to the right as you enter that will hold 3 people. Service is quick once you're seated and your food is delivered very hot. I ordered the fratata with English muffin and potatoes. My husband and son ordered the big breakfast that came with eggs, sausage, bacon and pancakes. I also had a glass of orange juice. We enjoyed our breakfast immensely. It was simply delicious! I know for sure we'll come here again. If you haven't gone to a Brownstones yet my fellow Yelpers please do! You won't be sorry!

IF I COULD GIVE NO STARS I WOULD. Hostess sat as down and no waiter came over until I took a photo of them all standing around on their phones. Left the restaurant before I spazzed out. Photo is attached of them "working."

I had an incredible breakfast experience at Brownstones with my girlfriend. The service was exceptional, and the ambiance was equally impressive. I'm so impressed with the owner's efforts to create a unique and welcoming space. There's truly no other place like it in the area, making it a standout gem. We felt truly spoiled and look forward to returning!

Brownstones is my go-to brunch spot on the island! A cute spot for a date or catching up with friends/family. Despite always being crowded their service and food are always amazing. If you have never been here, I recommend getting the French Toast Bites

Lovely spot with friendly staff! The french toast bites are so good, along with the side of potatoes that were super crispy. Skip the mocha latte since it tastes like straight up Hershey chocolate syrup (even if you tell them less sweet... they don't listen!!). I will say though, 3 eggs for the breakfast with no toast is a little ridiculous- even the waitress reiterated it was three eggs and confirmed that was okay which was a little funny. Overall very good and will come again

No bad reviews at Brownstones... How could there be? The place is clean, the service is great, the food is well prepared, what else is there. Oh yeah, the servers are pleasantly sweet and always there to see all is going well. And they have some cool food selections too. Lastly I asked to have eggs prepared medium well and they came just that way, amazing how easy yet impossible to get at most places, but not at Brownstones they got it right! Made the smoked salmon Benedict so delish! Maybe you might wonder how the fried tater tots go with these classy dishes but they are pretty good so who knows?

**BUYER BEWARE** do not go here, the staff add on fees and pockets money ! the food is good , it is always packed, the parking lot is cramped. go to the other restaurant in Centereach much better experience !
My husband got the Gatsby and I got the bite size French toast. Their home fries were really good. The gingerbread coffee was yummy as well as the eggnog. There is usually a long wait. I joined the line on google. When I got there, I checked in but there was still 30 min on the waitlist. However, the waitress seated us right away. That was very nice. Our meal totaled $48: this included a 25% tip, 2 drinks and 2 entrees. Not bad at all! Such a breath of fresh air to be treated with kindness during the holidays.

Today, on my wife's birthday, we had the pleasure of being served by Liza at Brownstones in West Islip. She was so sweet, personable, attentive, and professional. She was the perfect server to help celebrate. Thank you, Liza and Brownstones. We will be back. ❤️
