Brownstone Pancake Factory (englewood Cliffs, Nj)

The portion sizes at this restaurant are generous, making it a great option for leftovers. The service was good, and the name truly reflects its vibe—definitely a perfect spot for brunch and mimosas with friends! However, the flavors could use a bit more enthusiasm. The chicken soup lacked the richness and depth of flavor that one might expect. As a dedicated Starbucks Barista fan, I found the coffee to be just average. The waffle and pancake batter could really use some extra attention; it feels like it's almost there but needs a little something to elevate it to a four-star level. I hope management takes these comments to heart. I'm not sure if there has been a change in chefs, but they should consider bringing in someone to really enhance the flavors of their dishes. Also, for the Chicken and Waffles, I recommend using boneless chicken to really impress customers. I plan to return and will update my review if necessary, hoping that today was just an off day!

We visited for a late Sunday brunch, and it was quite busy. While parking was a challenge, our server Lina provided excellent service! The food was fantastic, and she recommended the special Halloween pancake, which was a hit. Despite the restaurant being full, Lina was patient and checked on us regularly. The food and drinks were both wonderful. My only wish is that there were more parking options available.

The food was incredibly delicious—definitely the best breakfast spot around! I dined in for breakfast, and the price per person was between $20 and $30. I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all as 5 out of 5. Highly recommended dishes include the Eggs Benedict, Fresh Waffle with Strawberries and Cream, Wrap, and Pancakes with Pork Carnitas. If you're wondering, Eggs Benedict comes with Hollandaise sauce, which is a must-try!

Our first visit to this restaurant was fantastic! It was quite crowded, but our server was attentive and took great care of us. We decided to return when it was less busy, but this time, our experience was completely different. We waited a long time just to get water. We could see employees eating in the kitchen, and our server would disappear into the back, come out chewing, and then drink from her water bottle at the register. We sat there thinking, "We could really use a refill." It took so long for us to get refills that we actually had to pause our meal. We noticed other diners around us also waiting a long time. Our server seemed preoccupied with everything except for us, making it clear that she didn’t care about the customers. Unfortunately, it appeared that being busy translated to better service. After this experience, we're not sure if we will return. The food was excellent, but the poor service really ruined the experience. As for parking, there's limited handicap parking available, but there's a decent-sized lot in the back that fills up quickly.
