Brunswick Square Mall

It’s very convenient and has everything you want. It even has a very nice movie theater with reclining leather seats!

Ummm so the Sephora girls in jc penny are absolutely horrible. One of them even made a nasty comment about what I was wearing. EXTREMELY unprofessional. The second you step into Sephora it’s an extremely hostile environment where they make you feel like they’re all better than you. They’re not friendly at all and won’t help unless you go up to them and ask. Extremely arrogant for no good reason. I’ve seen more talent in other Sephoras.

I was really shocked by this mall, I was in the area and need to exchange something. From the outside it doesn’t look like much since it looks kind of old however the minute you walk in its bright, modern and very clean.
The mall is a bit small but it has all the stores you need and I was so pleasantly surprise by this mall that I even did a little shopping apart from exchanging my item. I went to about 4 stores and at all stores the young sales girls were all very nice and helpful.

Nostalgia, since this was my local mall growing up. Small, as in one level, but a good amount of popular stores, movie theater, and food places to eat.
Sephora/​JC Penny. Firestone nearby
Forever 21, Hollister, Payless, Famous Footwear, Lenscrafters, Journey’s, American Eagle, macy’s/JC Pennys, Express, Charolotte Russe, Victoria’s Secret, Old Navy, Zales, some children clothing shops, a hat store (if they still have it?), Spencer’s, New York & Company, Sebastian’s (haircuts).
Ruby Tuesday’s, Panera, Tilted Kilt, Charlie’s, Auntie Ann’s, I heard Subway closed down, Nathan’s at the mall food court, some Chinese fast food (Wok?), pizza, Cinnabon, yogurt shop, candy shop next to the theater.
Large parking lots all over, especially at the opposite ends of Macy’s/JCPenny’s, so you can’t really NOT get a spot. Maybe you have to walk a bit more or walk through the mall, but that’s no hardship. Parking right by Barnes Noble can be hit or miss, same at the movie theater or even Ruby Tuesday during weekend/​late evening hours.
By the Panera there are some other shops, one of them is a medical clothing type of thing, where I once found a Hello Kitty scrub top! Haha.
And of course, the movie theater, with it’s separate entrance.
Over the holidays I know they have the Santa picture thing, and maybe the Easter bunny thing.
Also the library book sale, which is fun to peruse.
Really have something for everyone here — whether shopping, movies, and food.
Just to note: Friday nights, at least during the school year (I can’t account for summers, because maybe kids have other things to do or are traveling with family), it has a lot of young kids/​teens because of the mall/​food/​stores. It’s the hangout spot, as well as Barnes Noble, so be prepared for that.

NJ is known for malls and has got some of the best and biggest indoor shopping complexes around. Brunswick Square can’t really compete with the rest and doesn’t have a whole lot going for it.
The mall is down the street from my parents house, and the convenience factor has made it an ideal place to grab that last minute birthday card or pair of flip flops over the years. However, if you are looking to take a major shopping trip then I’d suggest heading towards Menlo, Freehold, Woodbridge or really any other mall that you can get your hands on. I’m not surprised to see that most of the other reviews for Brunswick Square read the same.
The department stores are super weak. Your only options are a really teeny Macy’s and JC Penny which both don’t have nearly as much selection as their locations in larger malls. There’s no food court either, instead just a couple of cruddy fast food pizza and Chinese joints scattered throughout. When I walk through the dull and lackluster halls (two halls, to be exact) most stores seem to have the same cheap and trendy feel. Every store legitimately looks the same.
This is definitely not my first… or even my tenth choice when it comes to a day at the mall. However, because it’s some of the only shopping game in town I’m sure I’ll be making a few unfortunate trips here again.

The Brunswick Square Mall is the closest mall to my home, and that’s the best thing it has going for it. I stop in about once a month for a movie, or to go to LensCrafters or Macy’s, or to get a Cinnabon fix, but I won’t delude myself into thinking it’s a Freehold Raceway Mall or Menlo Park Mall.
The location does have its highlights. Parking is always available, even during the Christmas rush, and there’s a Barnes & Noble (with a faux-​Starbucks) a few steps from the entrance. They have built out the site with some restaurants, including Panera and the über-​tacky Tilted Kilt, but I am never in either so I can’t really speak about them. I do find myself in the ever-​changing Ruby Tuesday’s, and have picked up a pretzel or two from Annie’s.
Unlike some of the more «destination malls» in central NJ, there isn’t a food court and the choice of stores is pretty limited.
So, on convenience BSM has an edge, but that’s about it.

Modest, well maintained mall, which houses the basics and feels secure. Drop in for the occasional movie, or dinner at Ruby Tuesday or maybe shopping for basics! Does get crowded over weekends and holiday times.

Not the best mall. It’s what I know, growing up pretty much right across the street. If you need something quick and generic, like a pair of jeans or sneakers, then it’s not a bad choice. If you have the option though, hit up Freehold or Woodbridge mall instead. The store selections are pretty limited here. Macys and JC Penney are the only department stores. Only two places to dine in, Ruby Tuesday and Tilted Kilt. A few smaller places to grab food though. Way too many shoes stores and this is coming from a female! So you know it’s bad if I’m saying there are too many! If you’re ready to get your shop on, this mall is not for you! If you just need a few things, I guess it’s not that bad.
It’s been renovated, so it’s modern and clean, just not very diverse.

Being this the closest mall to my house, I tend to come here more often than I would like to… but with the not so recent addition of the Titled kilt and multiplex cinemas – it’s not so bad. With plenty of parking and convenient location, this mall is always packed. They do have all the typical mall shops to offer a typical NJ mall shopping experience. In the summer, its full of brunswick teenagers that you may want to avoid other than that the mall is very safe, clean and well maintained all year long.

I like this mall a lot. Even though it is a bit further than the other malls I am near, it has everything I need in a one floor mall.
I’ll be in and out quick. Love it. Also parking is always easy to find. Especially by jc penny.

Small mall. Nothing exciting at this mall. Macys jc penny. Panera tilted kilt. And stores in between.

Decent mall because its less than ten minutes away. Decent Macy’s, Barnes and Noble and Panera. I do not like the Victoria Secret location. The girl was snippy and rude because I wanted to exchange something she made me wait, apparently couldn’t help because she had to singlehandedly keep people from stealing «her» merchandise. The movie theater is great but buy tickets in advance. I miss the Limited in this mall and would love a Loft store. And maybe something besides Panera because the other food options aren’t too appealing to me.

This mall is ok to get something quick, and to be in and out. I would not go here to spend the day.
One major request I have is that they add a few more food places, like a nice salad place and a nice place to get a coffee and desert. You can not get a decent coffee or desert in that place unless you go into Starbucks in Barens & Noble. They need a nice coffee shop in the middle of the mall.
Too many Jewlery stores!
JCPennies there is horrible, those associates in there are miserable and make you aware of it.

This is probably my least favorite mall in central jersey. There are never many people shopping here which leads to a very dismal and dead vibe. The interior of the mall also has a rather dated feel to it with many low quality stores. There isn’t a main food court but there is a Charley’s subs, Cinnabon, and Ruby Tuesday. I would suggest going to Menlo Park Mall unless you’re just in the area and grabbing something basic.

I purchased a fraudulent Life-​proof case from one of the kiosk vendors at Brunswick Square. Once I realized the case was a fake and had proper documentation for Life-​proof I went to the mall in search of a refund only to find the kiosk gone. Shocking, I know… Anyway the owners of the neighboring kiosks told me the mall kicked the vendor out because they were aware he was selling fakes. After getting the run around 3 times by the teeny bopper they pay to sit at the Simon kiosk I finally was able to speak to management. To say they were useless would be an over statement. They denied knowing about the fraudulent merchandise and told me they could not do anything to help me and that they are not responsible for what gets sold in the mall. Really??? So buyer beware. Brunswick Square Mall takes zero responsibility for what goes on in their mall. Makes you wonder what other ways are they pulling the wool over their patrons eyes?

This mall is great. It has a lot of selections and every store is filled. Every time I turn around, the tenant mix in the mall is getting updated. The Famous Footwear looks great, I love Forever 21 and they recently added Crazy 8, iFix and Repair, Panera, and The Tilted Kilt Sports Bar to the front of the mall. The theater is under New management and has leather reclining seats for about $ 8 a movie. The mall itself is very clean and has wide walkways. There is never an issue with safety. I suggest you go see for yourself, you will love what they have done.

I think it’s odd to review a mall but here it goes. Its not a huge mall at all barely half the size of Freehold, Menlo Park, or Woodbridge. No food court but a bunch of stuff to eat. I grew up ½ mile from the mall so I’ve spent countless hours hanging around the place as a kid. Recently it has gone through alot of change adding a Tilted Kilt, Panera, and the movies were just renovated.
The movies are now all leather recliners and $ 8.50 a ticket…$ 6.50 for students!!! This is crazy! These are the any time any movie prices now and that’s awesome. Seriously when was the last time something went down in price by $ 2…actually this mall just went from a 3 star review to a 4 for this reason alone.
If you have 15 year old kids this is probably a good place to shop. They have Hollister, American Eagle, Old Navy, Aeropostale, Pac Sun, Zumies, and Against All Odds
If your an adult they have Macy’s, JCP, Express (especially if you love mens seasonal fuchsia shirts) and some other places.
They have like 4 or 5 shoe places: Famous Footwear, Foot Action, Champs Sports, Payless
For Moms they have a couple of Maternity places and a Forever 21 (but seriously give it up)
If you come to a mall for just food they have: Ruby Tuesday, Panera, Tilted Kilt, Subway, random Chinese food, a Fro Yo spot, and a Pizza places that’s waaaay overpriced as all mall pizza is.
IT’S A MALL.

It’s decent. I’ve lived in East Brunswick for my entire life and it’s pretty safe to say that the Brunswick Mall is getting better. They added a nice Panera bread, a Pub/​Eatery place and a few other stores to attract more customers. The décor isn’t that great, certainly not as grand as Menlo Park Mall (which isn’t even really that grand).
They do have a movie theater with pretty good prices if you’re a student. Food court (if you can even call it that) is small, but servers are friendly. They love giving away samples of the food.
Shops there are okay. Their main department stores are Macy’s and JCPenny’s. They have a Forever 21, Express, Victoria Secret, Journeys, Payless and a couple of other good stores, but they don’t have H&M. I don’t know about the rest of you, but that’s a huge deal breaker for me.
Overall, it’s an «eh» experience. Not much to remember. Check the directory before you go. There’s a chance they don’t have any of the stores you like there. It is only one story tall after all.

This is an «older» mall, or perhaps you would say it has «character» if you were trying to be charming about it. There is nothing huge and flashy about it, but it gets the job done. For food there is a Ruby Tuesday’s — so you can expect the glitz and glamor to be in tune with that — it will do for a Tuesday afternoon, but you probably don’t need to put on your tuxedo to shop here … unless you want to!

Just an average mall with the usual stores. There is nothing too special about this place.
