"I visited Brownstone Pancake Factory in Edgewater specifically to try the weekend special, the Short Rib Benedict. When I tasted it, I was shocked to realize it wasn’t short rib—it was pot roast. As someone who loves short rib but can’t stand pot roast, this was beyond disappointing. I know the difference in taste and texture, and this wasn’t it. If this really was short rib, then it’s a terrible cut and/or cooking method that completely destroyed the integrity of the dish. Even the portion size is suspicious—short rib is expensive, yet this dish is only $22, which makes me think you’re substituting with a cheaper cut like pot roast to be more generous. This felt misleading and really soured what could have been a good experience. If you’re going to advertise short rib, serve actual short rib, or at least prepare it properly. Brownstone needs to do better to ensure customers get what they’re paying for. Look at the meat in photo. The two stars is for the churros French toast and strawberry lemonade which was good"
