Browns

The food was delish! Our group had several of the dishes and all were good. Only item to improve was the pastry on the veggie Wellington was a little over-done.

Restaurant is housed in the old post office building which my friend worked in years ago, so great memories of it, today is got a great feel to the restaurant and the food was just wonderful as were the cocktails! Our server Holly was lovely and attentive and all other staff we interacted with were also polite. We will definitely be returning on our next visit to Glasgow.

It was my birthday yesterday and I treated myself for a meal at Browns. My friends are on holiday but I didn’t let it stop me from celebrating. For the past 6 years roughly I’ve barely celebrated my birthday because I have several major health conditions and recently I’ve been in and out of hospital. My birthdays have been spent in my hospital bed at home crying because I live alone with no family. I do have friends but my health has prevented me from spending time with them on my birthday and other times. The restaurant is top class. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I had read the reviews and it ticked all the right boxes for me and I wanted honest British food. I’m wheelchair reliant so I was running late because there was a wee wait for a wheelchair accessible taxi because I use an electric wheelchair. I called Brown’s to let them know I was running late and the lovely young man who answered told me not to worry. I was 5 minutes late and it was the same gentleman who was at the door and almost immediately I was shown to my table. From the word go the waitress came to ask if I wanted a drink and I don’t drink alcohol anymore but I fancied alcohol free beer and she recommended me one and it was top notch definitely the real deal just with the alcohol removed so I was absolutely hooked on the beer I lost count of how many bottles I had hahaha I wasn’t too sure what I wanted for my starter but the lovely waitress was so lovely and helpful and recommended the chicken skewers and honestly it was mouth-wateringly delicious! My mouth was burning with the red hot chilli peppers mixed in with the delicious salad the dressing was perfect the cucumber in the salad balanced out the other veggies the chilli’s were only tiny little pieces and my nose was so runny haha but I love eating them. For the main course I chose the sirloin steak on the bone well done. With regular fries, onion rings and peppercorn sauce. The waitress had asked me if I wanted to wait until after my main course to see if I wanted a sweet so that sounded good. I got halfway through the steak and chips and I had a few onion rings and realised I was absolutely stuffed! It’s funny because when they initially brought everything I thought it looked a small amount of fries and onion rings but then the steak was huge! So I made sure that steak was not getting wasted because it was absolutely delicious! Everything was delicious. I couldn’t finish my meal but I ate the whole steak lol and polished off most of the fries. At this stage I was so full I felt like I could just lie down somewhere. To my amazement when I was enjoying my dinner I noticed a little card on the table and to my amazement it was a beautiful birthday card from Browns! I was stunned and deeply touched. I thanked them for it. I was still enjoying a few beers haha but they didn’t just stop there I was actually thinking of ordering a sweet but they had a little surprise in store for me. They brought me a huge plate with HAPPY BIRTHDAY written in caramel sauce with fresh strawberries and a meringue with cream and sugary sprinkles. Not only that they even decorated the plate with real flowers! I couldn’t believe it! I could have cried! I was blown away by the kindness and just how lovely everyone was. The atmosphere in the restaurant was welcoming warm and friendly a family atmosphere and relaxed the music was just right not too loud and not too quiet. I will definitely be back there. It’s a beautiful place and the food is incredible. Beautifully presented and the beautiful happy birthday treat was so pretty I didn’t want to spoil it by eating. I took plenty of photos of it . I highly recommend this restaurant. Food is delicious and prices are great too. Sadly I forgot to take my little birthday card home which has upset me because it meant so much to me Browns Restaurant is situated at George Square in Glasgow I spent a little time in the square at the war memorial taking pictures so beautiful and the huge lion statues are impressive they are absolutely huge and breathtaking to look at!

We had the opportunity to witness the staff handling an unexpected situation when the fire alarm went off. Everyone was swiftly evacuated while the situation was dealt with and, upon returning to our seats, plates that had only just been delivered to the table when the alarm sounded were whisked away and quickly replaced with freshly cooked meals. Friendly, efficient and professional. Thoroughly recommended.

Warm welcome upon arrival, on way to table the member of staff recommended one of the new dishes. Our waiter Steven was very attentive without overstaying at our table. The food and drinks were delicious and definitely value for money. The atmosphere is very relaxed and never felt rushed.
