So here it is, the infamous Brownstone Pancake Factory! Long story short.... Go There!

Being that it was a Saturday evening, I was expecting the restaurant to be crowded; but to my surprise, it wasn't in the least bit. Or maybe I shouldn't have been surprised at all. Given the current Corona virus scare, I'm sure a lot of people are skeptical about eating out right now. But anyways, I'm glad we took our chances because we had a great time.

Today was one of the rare Saturday's Jamil and I both got to spend time with girls together as a family. So, we decided to take them for the milkshakes I've been promising them for weeks. Brownstone is known for its creativity when it comes to milkshakes and breakfast dishes (and anything else they make). Seriously, everything they serve is 'Instagram-able' and, from what I've experienced, delicious as well.

I wasn’t brave enough to handle one of those milkshakes (but that's not to say I didn't eat some of theirs😂... And babyyyyy that strawberry ice cream is to die for!) , so I went for disco fries and strawberry lemonade, instead (soooooooo good!) Jamil had a Bacon Ranch Burger with Fries, and the girls had the Unicorn Shake, The fruity Pebble Shake and a Chocolate Shake. I wish I would have taken pictures of their faces when the food arrived at our table. It was like they hit the jackpot 😋😍 (Note: we spent a little over $80. The most expensive Shake on our table was $18).

Wait time was non-existent, staff was super friendly, clean venue, nice crowd, valet parking (free), great food, and literally seconds away from my favorite spa! Where could you go wrong? Although the décor doesn’t scream “Oh the kids will love this!”, you definitely don’t want to go there without them. No matter what age your children are, boy or girl, they are guaranteed to be satisfied! This is one of my top 5 family restaurants.

Oh, and if you happen to stalk their Instagram account like I do, keep in mind that all the amazing shakes you see may not be available when you visit. They have featured drinks every week, but luckily for us, we were still able to get some really colorful, delicious and amazingly creative shakes that the girls loved! This week, the featured drink was the Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Shake (It’s the featured picture to this article).
