    We went for a Friday night birthday dinner. At first they would not let us sit in the booth even though one person in our party needed the accommodation, and I had a reservation. Then after we were seated and ordered drinks, they blasted the speaker above our head randomly and would not turn it down. The rest of the bar was not as loud, just our speaker. We complained 3 times and then finally our whole party just left. It seemed like they didn’t care at all that we left. Their reasoning was that they were an Oklahoma bar and they needed to blast the game. It was just suspicious that it was only our speaker. I will most likely never go back here.

    Everything about this place was not good except we were greeted at the door. That was nice. But even though we made a reservation we were told to find a table and the only tables were right by the door which kept blowing open. Then the service was bad - took long time to take the order, get drinks (which were wrong 2 times) and then when the food came it was missing sides sauces and that took time to flag someone down. They have no business calling themselves anything but a sports bar. The food was just one step above fast food quality. And I was so disappointed to see Beyond Meat on the menu. As a vegetarian, I am no longer being able to get a "burger." Vegetarians are not looking for something that mimics meat or taste juicy like a burger....we gave up meat. So I order what I thought was safe - an egg skillet and it was just ok. Nothing special and kind of greasy. I will never go back and I guess they won't really care as the placed was packed with screaming children and loud TVs.

    Hi Janet, I'm sorry to hear that your dining experience on October 12th did not meet expectations. I have spoken with the employees involved about how we can learn from this experience to prevent some issues from being repeated. The door closer was broken that weekend and the door parts needed were not available until Monday. I would like to hear more about your experience if possible. My email address is: adam@brownstonetavern.co m. Thank you for bringing these issues to my attention. Adam

    My chicken sandwich was undercooked and cold so I had to send it back, when I got it back it was burnt and the tater tots were cold. They obviously just threw the same chicken back on the grill and used the same plate. I ended ordering an entirely different dish. After all that the meal should have been compt, as the time it took me to actually get edible food was so long my friend had well finished her meal by the time I got to eat my meal.

    We had a great brunch here for Mother's Day. The food was good, with really good value for the kids meals as well. We will go back when the weather is better and we can also enjoy the patio.
