Breakfast Menu "Brown House Cafe" Woodway

Brown House Cafe is one of our local favorites. The food is always excellent and the service is always top notch. Even when they are swamped and under pressure they move things quickly and efficiently. If they are super busy and wait times are longer than normal, they will inform you of the situation so you are aware. It is always a pleasure to dine here and we love the family-owned atmosphere. I highly recommend you stop in.

This morning, I visited the Brown House Cafe in Woodway. A place I had never been to before because from the outside it gave me the vibe of some local place where they only sold coffee and I do not drink coffee; but a coworker recommended it to me, and I went. 🫡😶‍🌫️😬 The place itself is not bad, but the layout of only tables and chairs is a bit uncomfortable. The place they assigned me was very close to the nearby table, so I moved the table a little for greater comfort and done deal! 👍🏻 Now let's talk about what really interests you, service and food. 📝🧾 The place was full, apparently the place is frequented quite a lot, but as soon as I arrived they took care of me and offered me a table. In less than 2 minutes, the server was already taking my order, and in 5 minutes, my order was already on the table.😳 🤔 I thought that having been so fast, something was not going to be right, and I was wrong. I ordered a chicken omelet that comes with 3 giant pancakes. My companion ordered a breakfast burrito with bacon and hashbrown separately. Everything came out good. The breakfast burrito was perfect, and the omelet was delicious. But my favorite dish was the pancakes... Braaaah... 🤤 Those pancakes came out straight from the Olympus and were served to me on a plate. The syrup was in a slightly strange container, and I would change that type of container. But really, go for the pancakes at Brown House Cafe. Those 🥞 were insane and perfectly cooked! Rating: Breakfast Burrito 4/5 🌟 Omelet 3.7/5 🌟 Pancakes 11/5 🌟😳

I called in an order for sirloin steak well done, broccoli with cheese and a side salad. Literally the only thing I got right was the salad. They left part of my order out and when picking it up they assured it was correct. Get to open the food they gave me queso and broccoli and the steak still wasn’t cooked. Melanie was her name both times her attitude was poor she seemed more argumentative than assisting in providing good customer service. The steak has so much fat on it I would not recommend this to anyone.

This place has some really amazing food and the staff is awesome too. Andy is a rockstar server very attentive and kind. If you're lucky enough to have Joseph prepare your food then you will be in for a treat. I had the Cobb salad with the fried chicken and let me tell you the chicken was juicy, crispy, and had a perfect ratio of breading to chicken. The bacon is high quality and gives just the right crunch texture and saltiness to the dish. All the vegetables tasted really fresh and the portion was very respectful. I couldn't decide on the sauce so I got their home made ranch and thousand islands on the side and tried a little of both. Personally switching back and forth between the two sauces elevated the dish to the highest of uncharted territory. They sell large quantities of the ranch which means people buy large quantities of their home made ranch. Buy some ranch and dip your favorite ranch vessel in there. In the picture there is also chicken fried chicken I recommend taking some of that chicken and putting it in the loaded baked potato. Now if you're feeling adventurous throw in some of that Mac n cheese in there too. Since they provide so much food plan accordingly. Save some room for the coconut cream pie the cream is really good however for me just a tad bit more whip cream than I would have liked. They have a long list of pies to try so pick your favorite. I wish I lived closer I would definitely visit more often. If you're in the area skip the tourist spots with the long lines and try some food prepared with love and experience.

I really wanted to give this place a great review based on its rate score from previous guest. However, when you first walk in, this place has a down home, laid back vibe, and it was crowded and monothematic in its presence. (brown and more brown everywhere). I wasn't impressed at all. I was greeted by the hostess and was told it would be a few minutes before I could be seated. A minute or two later, the waitress took me to my table. The table and chairs look old and uninviting, and guess what...brown. Hmmm...I'm not getting a good vibe of this place at all. Remember when I stated it was crowded? Well, yep. I tolerated listening to several young children screaming and crying while I tried to give my order to the waitress. I know its not the childrens fault, but maybe they were just as unimpressed and stressed as I was. Anyway, I ordered the French Toast with chicken sausage, grits and scrambled eggs, and a coffee. The wait took about 10 minutes...okay not a big deal. But when I got my food, again, visually, I was not impressed. It was brown except for my yellow scrambled eggs. The presentation was boring, my food was luke warm, and my coffee was bitter. Oh and the syrup container was covered in syrup droplets...seriously? See the photo I posted. That's just nasty. Please wipe them off. I had no tolerance between hearing screaming children, cold food, and an uninterested waitress to complain and ask that my food be remade. People have a certain expectation of how they like their food served and how flavorful it is. Brown House Cafe is lacking in visual presentation, its environment, and bland food. If it improves on these three basic things, then it might get more stars and a more well-deserved review, but for today, they get a one star.

Great service, big portions! My family and a friend's family stopped by to try it today. Good American dinner style food (excellent!) And portions are generous, Texas style! My wife and I shared the Fried Stake and eggs and added toasts as a side. Once the food came, we realized we would have left overs :) Our 2 years shared the fingers and pancakes, the "almost" finished. We didn't know they even have a drive-in style, to-go setup, great to pick up and and eat it at home.

Longest wait time I've ever experienced before getting my order. Over 70-80 minutes just for a grilled chicken sandwich. I get that they were crowded, but I counted like 8-10 people working in the kitchen. Saw many tables get up and leave -- should have done the same, the food wasn't worth the wait. Wait staff were very apologetic, but it's not their fault. This is probably more of a management issue. Don't come here unless you have hours to waste.

1st timer...a great place. This diner has a really good breakfast. They actually have black rifle coffee!!! No wonder so packed. Worth the wait. Hostess very friendly and accommodating. Plus, the people...we met some some of the nicest people while waiting
