Reviews for Browns Socialhouse Courtenay in Courtenay, BC

Love this place, classic brown's menu. It's always busy and the atmosphere is good. Friendly attractive and friendly staff.... Great spot for lunch or a drink on a Friday night. Tip: if you get the #28 Dragon Bowl... get chicken AND Tofu. You can thank melater. Read more

Very impressed, we had their traditional pub burgers and I've found a new favorite. Our host (Jackson) had perfect timing... throughout our entire meal. It also has a pub like atmosphere with a generous open seating section so you can still enjoy thefresh air. We are definitely going again. Read more

We've visited Browns 3x in the last several months with visitors and really enjoyed it every time. Lovely young people on staff,... particularly the gal we had last time ( forgot to note her name). Our friend said it was the best burger he'd had in years.Fries excellent too. We usually go around 5 during social hour. Some good value there. My only complaint is the LOUD music. 75%of the patrons were 60+ ( yes we rocked when we were young too) and you had to yell to make yourself heard including to theserver. How can you enjoy a visit and meal like that? We pleaded with our server to ask to have it turned down and she was a bitsuccessful. Another staffer said he can hardly speak after an evening shift because he's forced to yell his whole shift. C'monBrowns, make this work better for all. Read the room and have the music at the appropriate level. Read more

I was there tonight when there was a bear spray incident. Staff were amazing in handling, not browns fault at all. Prior to... that experience was amazing and I absolutely love our waiter Noah who was so friendly and funny, made our night. Read more

Browns used to be my favourite restaurant and the only place in Courtenay I would go for sit down meals. For my boyfriends... birthday yesterday I treated us to some browns and placed an order for pickup! When getting home and opening our food it didn?tlook like it usually does. My boyfriends blackened chicken Alfredo was a reddish pink colour that I hadn?t seen before, and hesaid it tasted old like ?yesterdays Alfredo? saying it was nothing compared to the normal food. My butter chicken was not good.I paid for extra naan and every single piece was burnt. I had to try to pick it off but it still tasted all burnt! The chickenwas dry and kind of hard and was not the same at all from the last time I had it. Not to mention there was full cherry tomatoesin it which replaced most of the chicken! There was no whipped cream at all on our Oreo cheesecakes either. So disappointed Ispent 80$ on bad food and won?t be going to browns anytime soon again Read more

Doesn't seem to be a restaurant as such, because the menu is full of burgers, wraps, baguettes etc. It's closer to say Five Guys... or TGI Friday. Service is quite quick even when busy, food quality is OK without being outstanding, it's just not say a date orevening out restaurant. You'd eat here if you were hungry and wanted something more upmarket than Tim Horton's. Read more

Cheese cake so good, drinks good and service wonderful, if with friends this is the good place to go.

So. Good. Best part was when the server explained how our booth came to be her fav spot. Good food, good service. Only thing I... did not fall in love with was the way the lights did not line up at the most front side in the patio, but that's just my ocd. Read more
