Review - Good selection in the menu, and enormous portions. The food can be inconsistent in my experience. Some items, like breakfast, are always great, but other entrees can be hit-or-miss. I agree with several other opinions that the service is wanting. Several times I have had to search out my waiter!

Review - Okay - so there's always a wait for breakfast/brunch on weekends, but it's worth the wait!
Now that they serve lunch and dinner, I go more often, and am always trying a different item on the menu...
If you want big portions, and a hearty, good meal - this is the place to go!!!

Review - The Brownstone Diner is unlike the other JC grease stops in the fact that is all new (or perhaps just fully renovated). I stopped by here at midnight on a Saturday night. I was surprised to find that this place served alcohol. Although my Screwdriver wasn't as strong as I would have hoped, the food was excellent. (Who orders a Screwdriver with midnight breakfast anyway?) I found our server to be extremely polite and helpful, and seemed to have a sense of familarity with the people at the next table. The food was excellent, and there appears to be a huge selection of entrees. I only vist these types of places after a long night, so I can't say how the lunch crowd or lunch menu is, but the breakfast food is great.
If you're looking for an alternative to some of the older diners in town, this is a great place to check out.

Review - I agree the food is excellent here, but I have to say the service has totally turned me off. From the servers not checking in w/you even ONCE before or after the food arrives, to waiting and waiting for someone to serve/seat you, to them charging you an additional open food fee on your bill if one person does not order a substantial platter, I suggest only going if you are absolutely craving an item you cannot find elsewhere. I mean, come on, they're like a diner. The prices are way too expensive for their food, and yet the service does not fit to par at all. They need a lot of work. Go to a local diner for the same food, but at half the price.

Review - Solid diner food, good breakfast pancakes. Service is pretty solid as well. They did a good job on the renovation also so the place is pretty comfortable. Downside is that it's expensive! Way more than I'd expect a diner to be anyway. Here's an example, I stopped in to pick up a bagel the other morning, and it was $3.50. That's to-go, toasted with butter. That's ridiculous.

Review - The service was polite but slow even though it wasn't crowded. The servers just seemed confused. The restaurant only recently reopened after a massive renovation so perhaps they weren't very experienced. The pancakes were undercooked but this was due to the fact that our server forgot to order them with the rest of our food so they had to be rushed. You'll receive a huge glob of yellow margarine on your pancakes and grits so don't forget to take your cholesterol medicine before you go. The breakfast food is excellent if you remove most of the butter substitute goop from the top of everything. If they switched to using real butter and purchased quality syrup, the breakfast food would get A++ rating. They serve you way more food than any one human can eat so you'll need to take half of it home as you waddle out the door.
