    We came here at a friend's request so we made it a field trip from the Lehigh Valley Pennsylvania on our way to the shore. This location has a VW theme to it and that was her favorite. We wanted to sit in the VW van but the tables were taken by other guests. Maybe next time! The food was so amazing and delicious. Can't wait to come back another day for lunch or even try one of their other themed restaurants.

    Great family friendly spot with over the top breakfast options and huge portions. The menu was overwhelmingly large I suggest being prepared to split things so you can try a bunch of options. Everyone’s fresh juice was so pulpy it was a chewy drink.

    We stopped in for lunch and tried the buffalo chicken wrap, and it was excellent — crispy chicken, just the right amount of heat, and a fresh wrap that didn’t fall apart. You can tell they specialize in breakfast because everything tastes homemade and fresh, but their lunch options are just as good. Friendly service and quick turnaround, too. I’ll definitely be back to try breakfast next time!

    Amazing food!!!! We ordered chicken quesadillas and they were extremely good! The pancakes are delicious!!! I totally recommend this place!!!! I wish there was one location in south Jersey. The environment is really nice as well as the decorations. Very 1950's diner vibe. I loved it.

    I was visiting this beautiful spot and took the opportunity to read a part of my book Human Code. It felt like the perfect moment to pause, reflect, and dive into its pages. This book truly fits any setting — whether you’re indoors or out in nature. I even took a photo of the book while I was there — it just felt right.

    Adorable atmosphere with a old time van in the middle, which you can actually sit at a table inside. Extensive menu that will have you wanting to go back to try something new. I had the short rib burger and fries for breakfast, which was absolutely delicious ( brought half home) and Tom had the pancake wrap with sausage, egg and cheese and bottomless coffee. My special came with soup, which wasn't exactly ready at 9 AM, so I got it to go. We definitely want to go back soon.

    We went at about 5pm on a Saturday night. It was super quiet which made it great for our first time ever. Fantastic food and great atmosphere. Prices were reasonable for a hyped up place

    I've heard so much good things about this restaurant and the reviews are right. This place is amazing. We came in late November and the restaurant was nicely decorated for the holiday season. I tried out the churro french toast Pumpkin cheesecake from the fall menu and it was so delicious! My family enjoyed their meals as well. The Smores iced latte was so good. The bathrooms were very clean as well. Great customer service and the manager went around checking tables to see if everyone was okay. Our server was quick and attentive. Hands down the best pancake establishment in the region. I highly recommend this great restaurant. Great job Brownstone.
