Had a few things the turkey was dry, brisket was all fat, pork was too peppery, the corn tasted like it was from a can, the mac n cheese was not great and the corn bread was cold n no flavor. Would not recommend.

The food here is amazing!! I think I could eat here every day for the rest of my life. For $23 I got 2 1/2 pieces of brisket, a corn muffin, roasted brussel sprouts and Mac n' cheese. My family loved their food as well. We're all super stuffed.

Another restaurant with Brick in its name - hopefully this owner/manager isn’t going to be nasty as Hales Blackbricks, can take genuine and constructive critics. Probably won’t return. Love their decor - high ceiling, industrial. The last booth by the bathroom is angled. I don’t know they did that to shield the bathroom entrance or needed to be. In any case, it looks good. Two big open windows connect their outdoor area. The length of the bar looks out to an indoor garage. I particularly enjoyed their tiled tables: similar to my childhood home in Beijing, which was made by Chee Hsin Cement - I've a book on it, self published on Amazon. The service is good. The pretty young girl has red and purple nail polish - maybe I should go for the purple, to match my hair. The food is a little trying. The bacon burnt end is on the sweet side but tender. The brisket is thick and dry. With the butter knife, cutting became a chore. The ribs is a little softer than the brisket, but have it better many other places. The young girl, the maitre d’ and a lady in black pants came over, asking how’s everything - they certainly care. … after dinner, we went to the opera house for Lucia di Lammermoor, which was a smooth sail.

My visit to Brick's Smoked Meats left much to be desired, especially regarding their BBQ and smoked meats, which were the main draw. Despite the enticing images in their advertising and the allure of their location, the reality was starkly different. The quality of the food and the presentation were mediocre, failing to justify the high prices. There was an apparent disconnect between what was promised and what was delivered, which was disappointing given our expectations for a premium BBQ experience. In all honesty, I cannot recommend this place. For those searching for genuinely top-notch BBQ and smoked meats, both in terms of quality and service, it would be wise to look elsewhere. There are undoubtedly less prestigious yet far more authentic and satisfying options available that are true to the essence of BBQ cuisine. In summary, if you're seeking an authentic BBQ experience that lives up to your expectations, you might want to consider other venues that focus on the quality and love for the craft rather than just the image.

This is one of our regular “go to” places and the food is always excellent…we were in last night and I am writing this review to let management know that we really appreciate that job that Dave was doing around the restaurant to make sure that everyone was getting the right food and otherwise enjoying their experience …it appeared that the restaurant was a little short staffed and Dave was hustling around and doing a great job and he realllllly helped make sure that we had a great experience …thanks Dave !
