A small restaurant that serves home-cooking type Filipino foods. Lunch specials here are a good value, they give you a bit of everything. The food here is very good, try the lechon kawali (unless you don't like fried pork). Never had Filipino food? Try the Lumpia. Filipino food is generally not the healthiest. Stick to the Pancit (noodles) if you are afraid. But don't be afraid. Its unbecoming.

After being alerted to the presence of this Browns by Brent I decided to check it out myself. This location is very strange. The Browns is located at a Citgo gas station. Don't be put off though, its surprisingly nice and clean inside, and while there is no eat in section, Browns is mostly take out food any way. The chicken here is done well and up to standard. Service was friendly, but a little slow, its sort of a new location so maybe they will speed up. They offer a spicy version of the chicken here, which is uncommon. The also offer Chili mac, which is very uncommon. 8 pieces of chicken plus a family size order of pasta and sides runs about $17.99 which actually is pretty good for feeding a big group.
Bargain hunters, ask for the cold chicken, you get a box of random pieces for $3.50. With an oven set to 325 and about 15 min, cold chicken tastes like new chicken due to the nature of Brown's recipe (please see my full review of Browns Chicken for an in-depth description of the taste profile). What you lose in choice and warmth you make up for in $, and sometimes you get a good batch. I bought a box of cold chicken (one usually feeds me dinner for a week - hey I'm poor). and got 3 breasts and 5 wings.
