Brown Stone Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Metuchen

On a very hot day walking in to The Brown Stone Bar and Grill was soothing. The host was very kind and welcoming. The bartenders quickly took my order and I was thirsty and hungry. No delays! They have the best Prosecco. I will post the picture since I'm unable to remember the brand name. I had the Fried Zuccini and it all happened during Happy Hour so the prices were totally reasonable.

Although the waiter and waitress were very much on task it seems they were short of staff and overworked which didn't allow them much time to smile and become relatable. Despite being polite there was not much personable touch in their service which to me means I will soon forget about this place.

I didn't go to the patio but I could see the fountain and it appears to be gorgeous. Inside very spacious and dark. Maybe too dark for me but still cool. What I liked the most was the lay out. Bar seating, high chairs on the floor and booths around and by the windows.

The crowd was small, plenty of seating and TVs only playing sport channels. I don't remember hearing music but I do remember hearing at least one guest constantly dropping f bombs for whichever reason at the top of his lungs and that was a turn off for me. I'm not sure an establishment can call out their customers for using expletives so loud but none of my business. I just packed and left.

I will go back to The Brown Stone to seat outdoors or perhaps by the booths with...

The Brown Stone is a really nice restaurant with excellent food and a great atmosphere. Everyone is very friendly and go out of their way to ensure that you have an enjoyable eating experience. The hostess and the manager were very nice. The rib sliders are really excellent.

If you enjoy watching UFC and are really looking to hear the fight, do not come here to watch it. I do not know if this happens every UFC fight night, but for the Diaz vs. McGregor fight, once the 10:00PM pay-per-view began, they muted the show and had a DJ play music during all of the fights (co-main events included) except for the main event. No one was dancing, and there were a lot of frustrated individuals looking at muted screens. Once the main event started, the manager instructed the DJ to play music in between the one minute breaks when the fighter’s coaches give tips and strategy points. When the fight was over and the fighters made their comments, the DJ muted their interviews and played music again. The way it was advertised, we thought that the DJ would play music between the featured fights, not during everything. It was pretty upsetting. We won’t go there again for another UFC event, BUT we will return for a...

2nd time visiting. We thought it was decent enough the 1st time to come again. A little bit of a back story, Im in the industry and have been for over 20+ years. I have a lot of patience when it comes to eating out but I critique the hell out of places like they were my own and these were my customers

We were seated immediately which is always good. It took about 10 mins for the server to greet us. We ordered out drinks which took another 15 mins and then she blamed the bartender. Now its almost 30 mins and our order was just then taken. We ordered 2 sandwiches and 2 soups. 1 Cream or Broccoli and 1 Chicken Noodle. The sandwiches came out but no soup which we should've had within minutes of ordering and most definitely before our sandwiches. When the server came back I let her know we never got our soups and when she finally brought them out it was 2 Cream of Broccoli but at this point I was just like whatever and just wanted to eat and leave. The server knew it wasn't a great experience for us but never even saw a manager on the floor let alone doing table visits.

Everyone has bad days so maybe we will be back but I'm...
