About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Great for live music
Mr. Brown's Lounge is a casual restaurant that diners love going to, to get their Caribbean food fix. The venue has arty décor and music to accompany meals. Mr. Brown's Lounge is a family-run establishment that has been around since 2009. It is open every day except for Mondays. The food is loved by customers for not just being delicious, but authentic as well.To start with, diners of age can order a cold Red Stripe beer or a tasty rum punch made with dark rum and Cointreau. For starters or sides, the island style mac and cheese is creamy and has a nice kick to it. The coco bread is a must, as is the Jamaican patty. The patty can be ordered with different fillings like beef or vegetables. There are so many memorable entrées to eat up like the oxtail or the red snapper with Jamaican seasonings.

    Being Jamericans and regulars when we thought of a place to celebrate a birthday we knew exactly where we wanted to go. I would have given 5 stars but I’d ordered “Jerk Honey “ wings along with four other items The wings were “TOO” spicy 🌶 I couldn’t even eat them. What a disappointment after paying $160+. 😕🇯🇲 Jamerican The manager, Jay Jay was very nice to our group.

    First time trying this authentic Jamaican spot. The downtown location is more of a sit down location while the West loop location is more bar like. Food was amazing.

    The service sucked, didn't have a lot of items that was listed on the menu, wait time for everything was extremely long, and overall experience was horrible. I would not suggest this place to anyone.

    The service was terrible. there was one server for the entire restaurant. She did not check on us. Limited menu and then they were out of certain things. We had to flag down our server whenever we needed something. We had a party of six so sadly gratuity was automatically added to our bill. Will not visit again.
