Browns Socialhouse Upper Lonsdale

Steak very good, fries way over salted and could feel my blood pressure rising. Carrot cake, best ive ever had, to die for (cubed light cake w tons of crunchy walnuts and whipped cream cheese topping) Service good. Find prices a bit high though. Dark setting but can be quite relaxing.

Tired of having food in restaurants and receiving sub standard service and food quantity, hence writing this review. Had dinner at Browns Upper Lonsdale on Saturday night. Calamari was less than before (quantity). Burger was ok, but not great, and by end of finishing it, everything looked mushy, including the patty, and falling apart. I also ordered a salad, which the waitress forgot to bring forks, so I basically ate it after finishing my burger! I also ordered a Diet Coke in the beginning but she forgot to bring that either. With excessive cost of living these days, when one is trying to treat himself with one night out dinner, this was just not OK, considering I spent almost $100 on a burger+2 beers+ a salad+ yam. I paid 15% tip, which I think was more than generous considering how things went, and the girl who got my money (different than the waitress) seemed not impressed. These businesses should not take customers for granted. I realize it’s a tiring job, like many others, and staff my wear down by end of their shifts. But if you do something, do it right. Funny that I had dinner around July at this location, and I had a good service from the waiter (a guy) and food was decent. I sent a direct message to their management to compliment him and the experience, but they did not bother to write back and thank for my feedback. I doubt I will dine here again for quite sometime, too bad, since it’s a close location to my place. Good luck!

This is the best Brown's on the North Shore! The staff are great and it is a very friendly and social environment.

We enjoyed our food and drinks, though they weren't extraordinary. What truly made our visit enjoyable and memorable was the service. All the servers were exceptionally nice, friendly, and attentive. I can't remember the last time I received such outstanding service. This is now my new favorite place.

We were a family of 9 and stopped in on travel s from Vancouver island Having that size of a groups can be hard and our groups was 4 kids and 1 7 month old. The server (we can’t put her name) that we had was absolutely amazing. She was very attentive to all of us and also to the kids. Our food was making but the service was above of beyond. Shout out her her!

However, if you write this long, your detailed review score will increase.
I'm trying to write it long somehow, and it would be nice if it counted next to the character count to see if it's over 100 characters, but it's too cumbersome to count them all, so I have to write roughly.

Wow, the usability didn't improve so I looked at it and it said it was 200 characters instead of 100. I'm writing this again on my own now, but how much do I have to write to get to 200 characters?

Was it this hard to fill 200 characters?
I want to stop writing
When should I move on? 200 characters are difficult. Please count the characters!

I had the Quesada's with fries the Quesada's where very greasy and the fries where over cooked limp and greasy I have been going to this location for many years and I have to say the food is not like it use to be.
The staff where very good no complaints there. May think again before going back

Got the butcher burger and yam fries with the brownie for desert. Brownie was warm but tasted extremely sweet so it’s not worth 12$ to me highly recommended to NOT buy it, butcher burger was perfect but yam fries were not cooked fully and sauce it came with was not good as well very runny / thin and too spicy for a sauce with yam fries. Staff here were amazing happy with my burger but not happy with brownie and yam fries especially for the higher price for this place. Just get the burgers and maybe a drink if you go here I question the quality and value of everything else here.

I gave five stars for the atmosphere today. Got the summer chill vibe going on the outdoor patio with the sun shining, summer breeze, bright, red umbrellas, music, and friendly service.

Some food items were prepared well, like the cod, but my salad had so much tough kale in it that was not chopped up much, so I kind of felt like a rabbit chewing away at the tough leaves.
Presentation was nice, if not exceptional.
4.5. Overall.
Servers were enthusiastic and made the effort to please.

Good quality food and great happy hour deals

-5 years later edited review- went in for lunch, my server Riley was super quick with anything I ordered, polite, and attentive. Gained an extra star for her. Keep doing what your doing Riley 5

Glutenfrei - glutenfree options available. I had a burger with glutenfree burger bun and amazing brownies as dessert

Sent the fries back because they weren’t properly cooked. The waitress came back with new fries, still undercooked, and informed me that the reason that the fries weren’t crispy was because of the fact that they had changed the oil to new oil. That’s an embarrassing excuse for not understanding how cooking oil reacts with food. Oil that is too fresh can’t penetrate the barrier of moisture that surrounds food as it fries.
HINT:
Save some used oil to mix with the fresh oil the next time you fry,
I guess being the award winning chefs that they are, they couldn’t have possibly screwed up. It have must been my fault for not wanting pale, soggy fries.

I ordered a smoked house burger, I think they meant burnt so it’s kinda smoky.
Meat was dry as hell, burnt buns, tasteless meat (no salt). It was my first and last order ever. They charge me 30$ for a horrible burger.

Thats one of my favourite place in North Vancouver which we can hang over with our friends. Regarding to their space it seems to be more comfortable and enjoyable for friends or couple not big family. I had veggie sushi roll as well as cowboy Salad which was so declicouse. I also recommend the white wine and beer there. You have to notice that I were there during the week and they didnt ask me to show my Id however some cafe bars will do that during the week as well. But I am not sure how would it be at the weekend

One of my favorite spots. Never disappointed, staff is always awesome, food is excellent and prices are great!

I haven't had a bad experience here.

Always friendly helpful staff, delicious food that can be catered to my dietary requirements, and I love the ambiance. Especially sitting at the bar - the gentleman who bartends has a great memory and makes the experience top notch.

Highly recommend the fish and chips, they are nice and light in breading and aren't soaked with oil like most places.

Drinks were great, Moscow mule in particular was great.food was good except for the lettuce wraps, very little chicken and chicken was pretty plain and bland.

I come here all the time with my kids and with friends. It's smaller but a solid choice in the neighborhood and the staff are all so nice. We usually go for steaks but they have been sold out sometimes in 2022/2023 but aside from that we love this Brown's.
