Fish and chips used cod that flaked apart easily under the batter. Coleslaw had a tangy vinegar dressing instead of mayo-heavy. Pool tables in the back keep things lively with locals playing rounds.

Delicious! Great food and great atmosphere! Portions are a nice size and the food came out quickly. Would highly recommend this place!

★ Skip it. Not worth the napkin.
★★ Only if desperate. Starving, lost, or snowing sideways.
★★★ Forgettable. Safe bar food, like warm socks from a bargain bin.
★★★★ Worth returning. Solid, dependable, no regrets.
★★★★★ The reason you go. Crave-worthy, intentional, makes you pause—how did they make that?

The Brown Lantern
The Brown Lantern is a very typical bar — good food, nothing that makes you say “I have to come back for more because I can’t get it anywhere else.” You can find the same burger or bar food at any local spot or across the country. That said, the burger I had was solid, and it’s a nice place to hang out, sip a beer, and catch up with friends. Comfortable, predictable, and dependable — sometimes that’s all you need.

Burger special at Brown
Lantern came with thick patties but the onions were raw sliced too big. Bar had that worn-
in vibe with regulars watching the game loud over the speakers.

It smells like there is a sewer leak. The place has very shabby cushions in back, the wait staff are friendly but don't look particularly clean, so I don't want to eat here anymore. So run down, a real dive.

One of the best burgers I've ever had. I had the open-faced chili cheeseburger. Wish I didn't live so far away cuz I really would like another!
