Inconsistant service... but always a table or a couch whenever we show up. We keep forgetting to go when there are large sporting events... but this is really a sports bar with a larger than expected menu. You have 4 options of seating... the bar... tables / booths... couches... recliners. The tables at the couches are a bit too tall for me... it feels like the kiddie table... so we stick with a regular table if possible. Service varies... sometimes the staff could care less... but there are 2 waitresses that are really good with refills and check backs. Tonight we started with the cheese board... never enough bread... more than enough "stuff" for 3 or 4 people.... strong brown mustard that never feels at home with the Brie or the Goat or the Cheddah... but over all a good $10 buy Our favorite for a while was the deviled eggs... oh the joy of great bacon! Hubby's fish and chips were OK... not stellar... but good. My black and blue burger was a perfect medium with a nice amount of grilled onion and just enough blue cheese. We were too stuffed for dessert and sat back and marveled at the table full of beer bongs... almost as amazing as the group sitting outside by the fire in 33 degree weather... but this is a beer joint after all!

Service and food is awesome!!!, great place for the family by day and a great bar at night with many choices, being gluten free it's hard to eat out but the staff does a great job of taking care of you! And has hard cider on draft for a decent price, this is a great option! Love the fire pit too!!
(4)Robin S.
Not your average menu, which keeps us coming back. Comfy couches and seats at the bar with lots of t.v.s to watch every game. Not a bad seat in he place. Consistently good food. Highly recommend the Kobe pizza, the garlic tots, meatballs, and the black rum bbq wings. Very good desserts. Bartenders here make great mixed drinks, too.
(4)Jeff K.
I enjoyed this place. I went the night the Buckeyes beat the Ducks. The wings where great - fried crispy. I tried the caveman and BBQ sauces. I like the caveman sauce - flavor and kick. I also have the meatloaf. It was moist and comes with a mushroom gravy. You can sample the draft beers. TVs everywhere!!

I stopped into the Brick House this evening for a beer and for a dinner and was slightly let down. I've had multiple trips to this place and their saving grace is that the bartenders and wait staff is usually extremely pleasant. Tonight they were very inattentive and seemed to ignore me for the most part. There were some ride and obnoxious people at the bar that took a lot of their attention and a motorcycle gang called "Switchblade Club" that occupied the outside area. The kitchen was slow at turning things around. Also I was sad to learn that the were it of the daily special which was the chicken pot pie. I will go back to this place but am in no hurry.
(3)Toe K.
The food we got was mostly mediocre too. I thought the price was kinda high for the quality we got. Happy hour is until 6pm and then craft beer prices sore!

I had high hopes for Brick House, but like many others, I felt slightly let down by my experience there. The menu looks great. The atmosphere is phenomenal, giving you the option to sit on a patio, at a table, on a couch, in the "man cave," etc... The drink menu is great. The food, however, lacks quality. I ordered a medium rare blue cheese burger with the tater tots, based upon the suggestion of my waitress. After a pretty lengthy wait, the burger came out well-done, and served on a sub bun! It was certainly not the circular wonder-patty, I adore so much. I was willing to move past the rectangular shape of my patty and give it a shot taste-wise, but the beef was just dried out and generally awful. That's not to say I would never come back to the Brick House. It seems absolutely worth a try with friends for their drink menu and the atmosphere.
(2)Donnell S.
Service and staff are always great. I've had just about all their food and its all very good except the pizzas. The pizza is just like one of the crummy grocery store-brand that you take home and bake yourself. They should really just take it off the menu. Can't give 5 stars because of the pizza and everything is $1-$2 too expensive for what it is.
(3)David G.
Pleasantly surprised! I came for the beer (decent selection, not great), but I was more impressed with the food. I had the Yard Bird sandwich and it was delicious. Place was not crowded (at lunchtime) so I'm wondering where everyone is at? I would definitely recommend it and I'll be back.
(5)Lindsay W.
Sitting here and not wanting to wait until I leave to draft this review. This place is cozy, sofa seating is nice. That's where it ends. Really inventive menu with no follow through on the quality of food. My fiancé got the steak and eggs which was a joke for $15. It looked like a senior's portion at some crap breakfast restaurant like Perkins. I got the wedge salad and a bowl of Mac and cheese - can't really screw either up I guess - but nothing memorable. Yeah, the girls are wearing nothing - but I couldn't care less...its more the creepy old married men without their rings on that upsets me. Don't you have somewhere else to be, old balls? I'd pass if you are thinking about a visit to brick whatever.

Friday visit to celebrate a friend's 50th birthday. Talked about glory days over beer and burgers with a few pals. Calamari and zucchini fried appetizers were crispy and not overly greasy. Enjoyed the jalapeño and cherry peppers accompanying the calamari. Three of four folks got burgers and one person opted for the wild mushroom pizza. We killed two beer bongs of Thirsty Dog Old Leghumper's porter goodness. My burger was tasty but overdone. Medium rare order was cooked well into medium. Tater tots were a great side. Service was pleasant and attentive. Can't give 4 stars when burgers get overdone. Nice place, good servers and overlooked burgers.

Before I write this review you gotta know I'm a little biased. I'm a vegetarian. However, I feel that I need to let other vegetarians out there know about places that are not willingly or able to satisfy our needs. As with the other reviews Brick House is definitely a guys type of place: lots of meat, huge selection of beers, big screen tvs with games, and waitresses dressed in booty hugging shorts. I've been here a handful of types mostly with groups after sporting events. If I were a meat eating, beer drinking, sports guy I would give this place 5 stars. However, I am a gluten free vegetarian girl that can eat a salad here. Fun. On the plus side the mixed drinks are pretty generous and delicious. :)
(2)H B.
You MUST try the duck wings. Soooooo good, and a really good portion size for an appetizer. There were 5 wings (which actually looked like legs). They were full sized, too. They looked like chicken legs. I had the lamb burger, which was really good, with the Cajun fries. My friend had the chicken salad with grilled chicken instead of fried chicken. Everything was very tasty, and our waitress, Omorese, was super friendly.

My girlfriend and I stopped in around 630 for dinner on a Thursday. The place wasn't super busy, but there were still plenty of people eating. When we walked in we were not greeted by the gaggle of hostesses standing by the door, in fact the didn't say a single word to us, but looked very annoyed that we happened to walk in the door right then. One of them quickly grabbed two menus, rolled her eyes at us and started walking away, before I realized we were supposed to be following her, I asked for a table on the patio. Begrudgingly she took us outside and sat us without another word. I was going to let this all slide as ill-tempered hostesses. Fine. Our server was friendly and happy to help us with a drink order. We ordered the calamari, fried zucchini and the greek meatballs to share based on recommendations here on yelp. The food came out quickly and we dug in. The calamari was cooked well, not rubbery. The fried zucchini was bland and tasted like old flyer oil, maybe an off night right? The meatballs were just plain terrible. Flavorless, soggy, lumps of meatloaf with mashed cucumbers under them. We finished maybe half of each platter. I don't normally write reviews here, and I don't like to complain, but the whole experience was just plain bad. The worst part of it, by the time my girlfriend and I got home we both felt ill. Maybe too much deep fried food? Maybe bad meatballs? I don't know. Either way I spent the rest of my night in the bathroom. Fair warning to any future guests.
(1)Aaron N.
This has become my favorite go-to place when I am not craving anything in particular. Some of my favorites: * Calamari appetizer (ask for some of the siracha ranch sauce!) * Pork Chops (Come with two gigantic ones!) * BBQ Duck Pizza (I always ask for extra cilantro.)
(4)Shirley A.
Do not recommend. Ordered a lamb burger medium well, got a burnt kobe burger. The cajun fries were std and the side caesar salad was average. Ate at the bar and staff was friendly but inattentive (never got offered water refill) and obviously took my order wrong cause the bill said kobe burger even though the bartender himself recommended the lamb burger.... Oh bother
(1)Pamela R.
Worse service ever andI use to be a server so I am more sympathetic to their jobs but this place had awful service! The waitress was not very professional and rude to us. Our food came out very late and we never got refills. We were very disappointed and will NEVER eat here again! Its a shame because we loved the food. Te waitress is a blonde in the pictures here. We even complained to the manager but he didnt do much about the horrible service. Do not eat here if u plan on going to the Orchestra or being on time some where else afterwards!
(1)Jeff H.
Service was great and the servers were the only 5 star attraction of the restaurant. My wife ordered a filet salad and the steak was so far from a filet it wasn't even funny. Come on really you may be able to fool some but after reading this hopefully no one else gets snookered by this. Say on the menu exactly what you're serving. We probably will not go back after the first trip. Looks like a cool place to hang out and get a beer but the food is questionable!

Went here over the weekend with Boyfriend and we really enjoyed it. We really liked the low-key atmosphere complete with fireplace, a dozen flat screens, recliners and tables that used super-comfy love seats as their booths. It was rather quiet on Sunday evening, and we enjoyed relaxing at our tables -- it kind of make waiting for food easier. Service was just fine, and I appreciated that my waitress made sure to bring me another water when mine was gone, even though she was carrying another table's food in her hands as well. We got the Sweet n Sour Tails for an appetizer and while they reminded us of a similar dish at Red Lobster that we like, they were really nicely done -- not too hot, but the heat could be adjusted by eating the fried jalapenos for those who like it hot. I chose the special of the day, the Mahi Mahi fishsticks with fries and fruit salad. Boyfriend chose the pork chops and mashed potatoes. Everything was really good -- it's one of the few times I've heard my boyfriend say that everything in his meal was good (and we've been together for 9 years, so that's saying something). And I really enjoyed my fishsticks -- they were high quality and yummy. Even the fruit salad had some extra care put into it with strawberries, watermelon, mint and grilled peaches. I'd definitely like to come back here again, and from the looks of their drinks menu, that'll be one of the things that I'd like to try next. :)
(4)Lisa H.
Previously, I have gotten the grilled cheese w/ tomato soup and the chicken pot pie (Wednesday special) the soup that came with the grilled cheese tasted like someone poured marinara in a bowl. Not good. The grilled cheese was ok. The pot pie was amazing. I would order that again for sure. Tonight we both got the lamb burgers. They say they have goat cheese on them, but neither of us had any cheese. We informed the waiter who said they actually come with a goat cheese sauce. The menu clearly states goat cheese, not sauce. The deviled eggs were good the first couple times we came, but tonight the filling was really watery and the whites were very rubbery. I'm really disappointed that the quality keeps going down.
(3)Derick H.
Been here multiple times and have had great experiences but the last time inbound it humorous that when I asked what IPA's they had on draft the server said Budweiser, you're typical hire a attractive girl that knows nothing of her job.
(4)Eric H.
I was I could give zero stars. Watching the bartender spill beer on her self, grab lemons with her hand and just putting them in a cup for the customers, putting ice in our beers ( is that a new thing?), and she never washed her hands. I know they have a hand washing sink back there. Food not cooked to order, medium doesn't mean well done. Waiting over 15 minutes just to get the check with our wallets out. Figure I would kill some time with this bad review. Don't waste your time just go to Applebee's across the street. At least the manager walks around there asking you if you need anything.
(1)Jaime W.
One of my favorite places to eat! Brunch is wonderful. BISON pizza is wonderful. Beer selection is amazing. Service great.
(5)Richard B.
If your nose is carried about at a slightly higher altitude than the average Joe, this is your sports bar! Open, bright, fireplaced, with table, sofa, and recliner seating options (as well as bar if that's your ballywick,) You pay a bit of a premium for most of the menu options, but try getting duck wings or pizza or salad at Fridays! We Hit the Brick House 2 days back to back. The first visit we both got their blackened Mahi Mahi, with remoulade. It came with a generous side of steamed broccoli, and the smallest side salad I've had,(it was crowded on the same plate as the fish, two portion cups of remoulade, and broccoli, so the mental picture one gets is quite accurate. Although somewhat over-cooked, the fish was quite good still moist, nicely seasoned, and the portion cups of remoulade were a nice addition. The broccoli was perfectly steamed, firm but not crunchy. The salad was fine, but unremarkable. For an app we ordered their spicy calamari. We got an ample supply of the rings and 4 or 5 of the tiny beast en toto. The rings were perfectly cooked, but the baby whole octopus were cooked for the same time in the same basket so totally rubberized. A10 second flash fry for the pups might have been the right call rather than 1basket for all comers. On visit two, as it was a weekend, we ordered from their weekends only brunch menu. I got a filet hollandaise with a potato side. Even with the fancied-up add-on of hash browns at a $3.50 uptick, the tiny filet bordered on either side by a poached egg sitting atop a slice of toasted brioche looked a bit lost on the plate, enough so that they might want to re-think the plate size or toss one of those baby salads on the plate to cover up all the white real estate on the plate. Nonetheless it was satisfying. My wife got the wedge salad and the Kobe brick pizza with roasted tomatoes arugula and brick cheese. Understandably it was a bit scant on beef, but she was a huge fan of both. Service was spot on for both visits refills came without request, empty vessels were removed quickly, check arrived promptly, and returned after payment as quickly. On both occasions the G.M. Inquired as to our satisfaction.

Excellent customer service, great food and awesome atmosphere!!! We ordered the bourbon chocolate cake and it took a little time getting out, the manager came over and said it was on the house!! And boy was that cake good!!! Would definitely recommend!
(5)Kris P.
The atmosphere is very cool with couches for seats at some of their tables. The food was really good with lots of interesting choices. They also have an excellent beer selection. My only complaints are the waitress had no personality and the syrup jar was really sticky.
(4)Matt S.
I got the french toast and potatoes wedge, it was a solid choice. They have an interesting brunch menu, which essentially gives you a breakfast item and a lunch item (e.g. chicken and waffles). They also have $2 mimosa (I think you have to buy a brunch item though, but odds are that's why you are there if you want a mimosa). The mimosa was good, especially for only $2. The brunch menu was a little pricey, but overall it was pretty good. I'd go again.
(4)Kevin D.
After reading the reviews for this place I decided to give it a chance. I met a friend here for lunch and we were promptly seated. Our waitress was really nice and very attentive... drinks always refilled without having to ask and our order was taken quickly. She even gave us drinks in to-go cups after we paid our bill. Nice touch. As for the food... it's so-so. We had some wings for appetizers, kind of small, not that juicy, nor were they spicy. But they came out fast... my guess is that they're warming them up rather than deep frying them. I ordered the grilled Mahi Mahi. The description said it was cooked in a garlicky butter sauce but I couldn't taste it. It was rather bland. I think I picked a meal that was too healthy... it just lacked flavor. The manager stopped by once to make sure everything was ok. The keyword is 'once'! That's a good thing in my book!! There are too many restaurants where the manager stops by 4 or 5 times interrupting your meal / conversation... once is all you need. Plus this guy looked a little scary but he was really nice. I forgot to ask how my friends lunch tasted, but it looked pretty delicious. I wish I ordered what he had (some kind of burger). Overall it's a nice place, great atmosphere... it's probably a fun place to go watch a Browns or Cavs game, have some drinks (good beer selection). I would recommend it if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go there.

First time there tonight. My boyfriend and I were not greeted by anyone and stood at the door for a little bit. The atmosphere is cool and updated. We chose to sit on the couches. We had a male server which seemed to care less and wasn't too friendly. I chose the ribeye which is a special on Tuesdays. It was suppose to be 12 oz but more like 6 oz. It was ALL fat. I told my server and the manager came to the table. All she had to say it the ribeye is a fatty cut of meat. I didn't want to spend $18 on a steak made of fat. Save your money folks. This place isn't anything special and food is MEDIOCRE. I will not return. Manager wasn't very understanding. I didn't even want a discount. I just wanted her to be aware. I work in the food industry and I'm a server. This place needs improvement. Only thing it has going for it is the cool design. Cook at home folks.
(2)Brad S.
Everything was great. Great atmosphere. Friendly people. We had a party of 16 and they were able to accommodate us. We sat at a booth, but you can also sit at a sofa table or recliners.
(5)Clay L.
They really changed this place around. It's an open environment. Made to look like a man cave. Food was tasty and decently priced
(4)Brian C.
Excellent restaurant, though we're patio diners. I've read reviews stating the waitresses were "on display" to put it delicately, though I haven't noticed it. To be fair my wife and I always dine on the patio, and we usually go mid-week, so there may be a different environment inside at the bar on a weekend. From what I've seen the waitresses are wearing normal black tee shirts, and jeans. Nothing more revealing than what you'd see at an Applebee's. So if you want a normal dining experience eat on the patio. The food tastes great, and the portions are large. The prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. I've tried many different meals and appetizers, and haven't had one yet that I don't like. The patio is comfortable, and there has always been a table available outside when we've gone. This is one of my favorite places to eat, though as patio diners it does limit the time we can go to fair weather only. I can't hold that against them though, they can't control the weather.

Never had to pee so bad in my life. Here's my story... Brick House is airy and rustic inside with a wood burning fire pit. We came at lunch and it was not busy. All of us opted for iced tea and we had a round on the table within seconds. The house salads were fresh and crispy...honey mustard dressing a bit sweet for my tastes. With just 2/3rds of a glass of iced tea our server asked if we wanted refills...we brushed him off and kept talking. I ordered the blackened mahi sandwich with fries. My colleagues both had the daily special chicken pot pie. As we waited another full round of iced tea arrived. We muttered our acceptances. The mahi was especially juicy and flavorful. In fact I hadn't had such a good piece of fish in this area. The pot pies were flaky and large, nearly 8 inches across with chunks of chicken breast, potatoes and carrots...this was savory goodness. Another round of iced teas arrived and I finally yielded, excusing myself to the restroom. The fries are seasoned well and plentiful...I felt like we got our monies worth for such a decent fish sandwich. As we prepared to pay the check, yet another round of iced teas arrives....this time in to-go cups! Good god man, apparently they need to get rid of this batch of iced tea!! Lol Overall very tasty dishes with good service...will come again and perhaps drink beer next time.

I have visited the Brick House Tavern + Tap a total of 3 times - the first time was shortly after it opened.. the second, a year later, and the third was a week ago. The first time was... awkward, even for my male companion, who should have been the one enjoying it. That visit was shortly after they opened, and employed scantily-clad women to chat up the male customers as they perused the menu and stole quick (but obvious) glances to check out the warm, um... atmosphere. Not to be deterred by serving a table for two which included 1 female, our fetching young server made herself more than comfortable, sitting down for a chat after taking our orders. Really? We had gone to lunch to try the food and have a conversation while not having to prepare and serve our own food. Apparently we sent a signal that we wanted to discuss our upcoming holiday weekend (only one of the various pleasantries attempted) with a skinny, surgically enhanced stranger clad in bare-midriff. It was so awkward, both of us declared it ridiculous - so much so, that it was at least a year before we returned. In fact, neither of us remembered the food. I guess that should have been a tip-off for any future visits. Visit #2 - I don't recall what my friend ordered, but I had a piece of fish. A really really large piece of fish. Large as in - I now think I know where the word "codpiece" came from. I was certain that upon lifting this piece of fish, I would find the lost city of Atlantis beneath it. As far as the flavor - meh - pretty much bland - but I think i was turned off by the size. I'm not fond of taking "fish" home in a takeout container. I might as well toss it into the trash. Upon further inspection, I found it to be eclipsing a serving of haricot verts and some sort of potato hash - neither one being a side dish I would go back for. The best thing about this visit was the noticeable change in servers. Gone were the briefly-attired females.. replaced by respectfully dressed male servers throughout the dining room. So there was that. Last week - This was a "joke gift" visit. A friend had purchased a gift card, not realizing that the place was no longer a thinly veiled Hooters restaurant. I hoped for the best when I opted to stick with a wedge salad, and requested dressing on the side (the choice was bleu cheese), and SANS bacon. My friend ordered the ribs, and we asked for the Sweet and Spicy Tails appetizer, described as follows: crispy shrimp, cherry peppers, fresh cilantro, lime & sweet chili sauce. The appetizer arrived, and we were thrilled when we first saw the portion size. Thrilled until we realized that there were only 5 very ordinary medium-sized shrimp for which we practically needed a search party, among a huge portion of crispy fried onions. We are not onion lovers, so had we realized the appetizer was mainly the onions with a couple of shrimp, we would have likely chosen differently. Our food arrived, and my friend pronounced the ribs "OK". The real freak show here was my salad, which was not just a wedge, but possibly an entire head of iceberg lettuce, chopped into 3 portions and placed core-down on the plate, with (can you guess?) bacon decorating it. I started to point them out to the waitress and she looked closely, declaring them to be pecans. Yikes. Absolutely bacon. The dressing was from a bottle. No bread was served, other than two pieces of toasted white bread (fresh from the wonder bread wrapper, no doubt) that came with my friend's rib entree. The one star? For the interior - the large fire in the oversize see-through fireplace as you enter is warm and inviting. The place was nearly empty on a Thursday evening, while the other area restaurants appeared to be packed. Brick House really needs to upgrade their food to bring me back. So much great indie local fare, why bother with a chain restaurant serving very average fare?

Tried the goat burger special. It's apparently made with goat, lamb and beef on what appears to be a flatbread bun. Burger was burned on both sides and the bun was also charred. Fries were good though. Service was really good tonight.
(3)Josh V.
As a guy the ambiance is exactly what I would want. It was amazing walking in and being seated at a couch instead of a booth. They asked what sport I'd like to watch and turned on the Indians game for us which was awesome. The food we found good but not great. I ordered the pretzel sticks for an appetizer and the waitress kept trying to take it from our table before we were done. The burgers are huge and tasted great to me but my girlfriend ordered hers with items on the side. The burger came how it is normally prepared and had to ask for her sides 4 times before she got them. I'd go again but I'd be more prepared and specific on my orders.

Timing and direction issues - but always a table on Friday and Saturday nights! Usually I crave restaurants that are consistent. But Brick House is consistently terrible at timing the arrival of appetizers and entrees. This happens all the time! You get your appetizers, then the food shows up before you can take a bite. I hate that. I wanted to give two stars, but some of the food is actually tasty, so they get three. We don't even order our food and appetizers at the same time because of this issue. I guess you have to wait until the appetizers arrive to order entrees if you want to enjoy them. There's some tasty treats here that I recommend - zucchini curls, the breading is really tasty and I like the parmesan cheese on top. However, they ran out of siracha ranch and instead of making more, brought out regular ranch. Huh? Go make more. Which is what they did, when I asked them to please bring the correct dipping sauce. My husband ordered the meatloaf, which sounded interesting. It was very tasty. I would order that on a future visit. I like the French Onion soup - my mom doesn't like that they use smoked provolone, but I thought it was still good and would order again soon. The calamari is a super treat - with large whole pieces, not the little crappy rings you find elsewhere. I ordered the roast chicken - which really was grilled, but a whole half! That's a lot of chicken. I really would have preferred a veggie with this instead of just mashed potatoes. And the potatoes were listed as including cheddar but I had none of that. My husband's potatoes too - maybe they ran out! My parents order the same items every time (pretzel stick appetizer), mahi mahi, and either fish n chips or shrimp (sometimes fries, sometimes tots - I love that they have tots, I am such a fan!). I do not recommend the mac and cheese. It's terrible. They served it to me cold - not hot at all. Then I requested they add a few little bits of jalapeno - I got a boat load of teensy tiny jalapenos - they covered at least a 1/2 inch at the bottom of the bowl. And the bacon was gross - it was too fatty and in huge chunks. This made the entire thing pretty much inedible. Then, they served it to me cold. Yes, not hot, not warm, cool. How did they make it right? They reheated it! Yuck. Now it was dryer than the desert. How did they make it right? They took it off the bill. It still doesn't erase the memories of that disgusting dish. Oh - I know I'll be back because my parents are regular diners there - so it's their go-to place. Plus, compared to nearby restaurants like Olive Garden or Applebees (bleh Chains), this has less crowd and more space. I like the fire. I love the patio. I like the bar. I like the stylish seating areas even though my folks require a table.

So my family and I went to Brickhouse yesterday to celebrate my sisters birthday I've been there before and the food's been good this time on the other hand it was awful and so was the service it seem like we were not the only ones having a problem the manager was replacing people's food and apologizing everywhereour server was less than delightful she was nasty and rude she told me next time I ordered my food that I need to don't order it the right way okay so you tell me what restaurant you go to that puts a cold salad on a hot plate with hot food and doesn't bring your salad out before your meal I find out from the manager that your salad is supposed to be run out before the meal just as I thought and just up and just as I've hadit served before when I've been there I honestly tell you I will not go back there again my sister felt like her food was nasty and gross as well as mine everybody's food at the table either came out wrong or Burnt and we ordered at 2:30 in the afternoon and didn't receive our food until about an hour better later they were not that busy I promise that I am not going back there again and I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone you're better served by going across the McDonalds the food and service would be better would.

I had a wonderful time at Bricks! The food was delicious, you have to try the sliders and the ribs. Service was outstanding.

I would rather take my money and go to Malloys. $5.50 for a beer is a joke when I can get a pitcher for $7. Atmosphere aside the food is on the high side with burgers starting at 8.99 and going as high as $15. A dinner for 2 with beers will cost you $45-55 and you will be underwhelmed. Save your cash and go some place else. It gets 2 stars cuz like I said the "Atmosphere" is nice = sometimes there are really pretty girls there and my sons stare at their... That aside- not worth the money right now. If they would lower prices by 10-15% then we may get a third star.

I'm not sure why this place is getting bad reviews. The food is awesome! We started with the Greek meatballs. They were super tender and full of flavor. Being from the south, I couldn't get my eyes away from the pork loin sandwich. I was so happy with my choice. I especially liked the spicy pickles that accompanied the dish. My companion ordered the chicken fried steak and loved every bite.

I don't recommend it, food was less than Ok and service was terrible although the place was barely empty.
(2)Vince M.
What just happened? I hate to give out bad reviews, and I rarely do. But this place is not good. 2 stars for the cool atmosphere. Food???? Marinara Sauce that is way to peppery and clunky. Moscow Mule from a mix? and then poured into a stainless steel mug? Never heard of such a thing. (Moscow mules are known for their copper mugs) I got the parmesan tator tots. I almost laughed my tail off! Frozen tator tots sprinkled with parmesan cheese. Our Halibat had zero taste, no seasoning, just a slab of fish. Think these guys are missing the boat on the food, the atmosphere is nice, but that's about it.

I love it here the burgers are awesome and the zombie drink is fucking amazing two if those and you can't walk straight also got chicks what more do you need and it's a sweet looking place to always a good time

I wish I could give negative stars - we decided to give this a try around 4:30 on a Friday. What restaurant doesn't anticipate early diners on Fridays? We walked in, were greeted by NO ONE, not even a "Please seat yourself" sign. Obviously our first visit, we didn't know what to do, we literally saw no waitresses walking around anywhere, though it appeared one was having a chat with some other employees/male prospects in the middle, and the bartender was super busy at her bar. The tables we saw all had empty drinks, so we turned and left. Way to go!

1st and foremost I will tell you the food here is AWESOME!!!! It gets 5 stars for flavor and looks. The atmosphere also gets a 5 star rating. Where else can you sit on a couch, eat food that is brought to you and watch TV all at the same time? But here's where it ends for me. I WILL NOT PATRON A PLACE THAT REQUIRES/LETS THE WAITRESSES WEAR SHORT SHORTS AND TEENY TANKS THAT HIDE NOTHING. Especially in the dead of winter. It's gross and disgusting to see things I'm not in the mood to see when I just want to eat. 2nd, being a hetero woman, I'm not really into looking at coochy or boobies. I'm also NOT into women selling their bodies just for a few more dollars in tips. I WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO THIS PLACE!!! If I could give a negative rating, this is the area I would do it in. Oh, and YES, I did complain and tell this all to management and the main company.

I didn't have a clue that this was an upscale version of "hooters" when I went. I had the worst experience that I left and will never return. I sat at the bar and their tap spewed out all over me twice! it took them about 20 minutes to get me a drink of water. After getting beer spilled on me twice, I left. They didn't care- they were clueless & rude.

(Ladies, FYI: I know this is more of a "man's place" but you still get the same awesome service as the guys [to be honest, I think we get better service...HAH!], and there's definitely no 'weirdness' if you go in with a bunch of girlfriends) Quite possibly the best laid-back atmosphere. Possibly biased because I'm a Texan (and this is a Texas-based company), but the service here is amazing, the food is pretty darn good, and the environment is awesome. Jessica, my favorite waitress, is quite possibly the best server I've ever come across. It's like she's a freaking genie. I've set down half-empty cups, went back to reach for it again and find a full cup never realizing she had been there. Super attentive and the sweetest personality, she's the main reason I keep coming back again and again. The food is good. A solid 'tavern-style' menu....lots of fried goods, finger foods, and even some decent more traditional entrees (which I honestly didn't expect). The pretzel sticks are a must as well as the sweet and spicy shrimp (deep fried hot peppers anyone?! LOVE them). Huge fan of the deep fried zucchini as well. As far as main meals go, the salads suck. But let's be honest. You don't go to a place like this and order a darn salad. The mahi-mahi is shockingly good. Flaky, sweet, cooked perfectly. Goes great with cajun dusted fries. The burgers are all fantastic with the Black and Bleu being my absolute favorite. I'm really looking forward to trying their ribs and their chicken&waffles on my next couple of trips!

Came back here after a Yelp! event to have dinner with family. We were not disappointed! Not only that, we ordered WAY too much food and had to take home lots of leftovers. Even though my son was one of the diners. He eats! See his review here too (Mark B). We had four appetizers to share. We should have stopped there, it would have been enough. However, we each ordered dinner too. All but one were delicious. I thought the fish 'n chips were bland. I love to "drown" the fish in malt vinegar, as I did here. Even then, it didn't have enough flavor. Other than that, definitely a place for some non-standard casual fare. The wait staff was over-the-top friendly as well. Very enjoyable evening.

I'm guessing that the 3 star yelp rating is due to the fact that they used to be a hooters style T&A place with good food to back it up. Apparently, they could tell it was hurting more than it was helping & they've since dropped that angle in favor of a more homey family friendly bar/eatery. The christmas ale I had was great, our server Lauren was cheery, upbeat, knowledgeable about the menu, and super patient with us as we figured out what we wanted. We got a lot of appetizers & there were so much room for at least one of them to be not-so-good or messed up in some way, but everything we ate was really top notch bar food. The chicken bites were tender & moist & the sauces were great with them. My burger was enormous and was perfectly cooked. The Fish & chips were crispy & savory & the fries were fantastic, not to mention you can get regular fries, cajun fries, or garlic parmesan tater tots. The prices were all also totally reasonable for the portion size & quality. I was really impressed with this place. As far as sports bars go, it's as good as they come, IMO.

Nice place to watch the games. It provides for a relaxing atmosphere with good food. Kind of a more upscale sports bar. The staff is friendly. They also hire hot chicks with skimpy clothes to wait on you.
(4)Ryan A.
If you like beer, boobs, sports, and lounges, this place is perfect for you. Hooters style waitress staff, a flatscreen TV in every possible location, large tables and or couches. One of the largest beer menus in NE Ohio with fair pricing. Outdoor patio with a large fake fire/heat lamp which can make at least 10 people very comfortable in the winter. What's not to like? Just bring a DD or find arrangements home because it's very easy to get wasted here!! You can literally order a bong of you favorite beer off the menu and chug right at the table. What's not to like?
(5)Kristina O.
Great service, nice atmosphere and good food. They have some cozy couches, recliners and lots of TVs. Food is reasonable and tasted great. I just moved here from CA so the waitresses 'outfits' didn't seem hooter-ish to me but I can see now that there was a lot of short-shorts and cleavage for OH maybe. Will definitely return and recommend it to others!
(4)Erin M.
I love the revamp! So glad to see guys as servers and the ladies with more tasteful uniforms! Well done (considering it used to be trashy)! I also appreciate all the awesome beers on tap!! The fire pit outside is pretty awesome too :)
(4)James C.
I came here with my brother and the atmosphere was very nice. He got the ribs and I got the mahi and both came out with nice presentation and flavor. This is probably the best/most relaxing sports bar in that area of town.

Akron is not a place known for having many restaurants with scantily-clad women serving as waitresses, such as a Hooters. Such overt sexism is normally reserved for the strip clubs. Last year, a growing chain named the Brick House opened up what is most like an upscale Hooters on Howe Ave. in the Falls, just a few hundred feet northwest of Chapel Hill Mall. In day 4 of the Alcoholocaust (what I'm calling my last week in Akron), a friend and I went to visit this place to watch the Tribe game and get drunk. This is a man's place. If you are a woman, there's a good chance you won't enjoy being here - especially like the guys do. We came into the place to see girls ranked anywhere from 4-8 on a 1-10 scale dressed in short shorts and shirts exposing part of their stomachs. My friend and I would intentionally order beers from the lower racks just to see them bend over, but they are only dressing that way to tease you. They aren't supposed to bend over completely, which is a let down for a lot of guys (I'm here for the game and beer, so it wasn't a biggie). They have a large number of TVs within the place, as well as a lounge area for the guys to just chillax. And, of course, there's the average-to-hot waitresses to socialize with. The first thing we noticed (other than the girls) was how much money was shelled into the layout. The bar had a fireplace, an expensive paint job, upscale lighting, and an all-wooden patio. No other place would throw in $1 million to make a dining and/or drinking experience this nice. The next thing we noticed was the beer selection. The beer selection is impressive for a chain. They have the shitty domestic beers, but then you work your way up to microbrews such as Thirsty Dog, Hop Devil, and Pilsner Urquell. They also have an average menu serving food of average quality. We ordered some wings that were dipped in 4 different sauces and served with celery. The wings were acceptable, but it was really obvious that they were frozen at one point; they had that formaldehyde-ish taste that Wing Street and The Lube have. Everything here is quite overpriced, despite the better-than-average selection. The average price for a beer was $4.50, while the average price for a shot was well over $7. At the end of the night, the Tribe blew a 3-0 lead thanks to the wonderfully predictable pitching of Joe Smith, and we were hammered. I was even talking about how much I love Yelping (which I never talk about with non-Yelp friends unless they ask). While I has happy with the girls and the selection, a $20 tab for a Washington Apple, a Hop Devil, a PBR, and wings might be a few bucks more than at other bars I can be found at in Akron. If you are into an upscale drinking experience and are fine with restaurants that exploit the female body such as this, then this is the place for you. If not, you are better off staying home.

This was my first visit to a Brick House restaurant. First, the atmosphere is nice. Second, the waitress was attentive and nice. Third, the food was just ok. I've been on a mission to find a place that serves pizza with a nice, crunchy crust. I thought a pizza made in a brick oven might be just the thing, so I ordered their $10 pepperoni pizza. It was just ok. I'm a retired teacher, and the pizza reminded me of my school's cafeteria pizza. The pizza was unevenly heated, and the cheese was a little overwhelming. I'll try the Brick House again, just not for the pizza.

After receiving an email for their Father's Day free brunch special, I decided to call to make a reservation. Once the hostess/whomever asked how many were in my party, I stated '2', and immediately the tone and demeanor changed. Her tone and verbal demeanor implied I was lying regarding my party. Immediate response, as I am one of the two options provided, was thinking of those single fathers who might want to take their child out, or for parents who want to get away and be alone together. Immediately turned off of this establishment. Beware of others if you are thinking of this option.
(2)David J.
Went for dinner this evening. Decided to sit at couches, which were comfortable. Server was attentive. Drinks were never empty. Portions were generous. Had pretzels as an appetizer and the presentation with three dips was good. One of us had the chopped up chicken salad. Had to ask for a side of the dressing after it was delivered to the table as could not find much on. The salad. The other had the fish and chips which were very good.
(4)Cameron C.
I gotta say, this place is my new favorite spot. I've never been to brick house pre-revamp, but I've heard some horror stories (from women) and I gotta say the new uniforms are better suited to the atmosphere. Covered up women allow the restaurant to do what it's supposed to do: dazzle the fuck out of you. Decor is simple, tasteful and upscale, and the food is amazing. Drink selection is one of the best I've seen. Beer for years, cocktails are mixed right. This isn't applebees though, so your wallet is gonna take a hit. Two cocktails and chops ran me $40. Absolutely. Fucking. Worth it. Stop reading, go there. Now.
(5)Rebecca W.
This is one of my favorite places to eat, great food and great service. I have heard so many of my friends say that haven't come here because of supposed hooters type atmosphere and nothing could be further from the truth. Do your self a favor and stop in and try it you won't be sorry. The meatballs, blue & white chips snd the kobi beef pizza...YUM!

I tried this place a few times and have been disappointed. If I sit at the bar, I don't get served unless I get loud and yell to the bartender that ignores me that I would like a beer. After a bad experience with this place, I gave it another shot because it's by my house. Some friends and I went in for dinner around 8pm. One of my friends is loud and was commenting loudly on how cool the place was. We were seated and waited. And waited. The manager came over and asked us where we came from and why my friend was so loud. I explained we had not been anywhere and he was just like that. She told us we were drunk and wouldn't get served. I stated this was fine, we were looking to have dinner not drinks. She stated we weren't welcome to stay because my friend was obviously drunk and they didn't want "people like us" there bothering the other guests. No one was drunk or even drinking. Fine with me, we left and I haven't been back. Never will return. I surely hope this is not how they treat all their customers.

This Brick house has gone Family Friendly and the waitresses are dressed like every other restaurant's waitresses now. So to the reveiwer who found the sight of the waitresses legs "gross and disgusting", it's safe to come back now. Anyway, the strength of this restaurant is its wide open setup that makes it an excellent place to catch a game. The large square bar includes a number of craft beers. As for the food, mine has been mostly mediocre. The burger was overcooked and the fries ordinary. Fish was pretty good. I go back occasionally, especially on game nights.

Food was pretty good.... server was average but attentive... I loved the atmosphere and the set up of this place. We will be back more than likely!

I love this place! The food, the friendly staff, the overal ambiance of the place- it's all spot on. It's a great place to go to grab a bite to eat and/or a drink with friends and just relax. For the true American man who like to sit on the couch and watch some good old fashioned TV while they eat, they've got TV's everyehere and couches, yes i said that correctly, COUCHES as well as arm chairs with detchable trays. Or if you're just looking for somewhere to bunker down with some friends for a couple hours to watch your favorite teams on a big screen with a few beers then this is the place for you. They have couches and beer bongs. Need i say more? For us women out there that might be looking for a little more ambiance than big screens and couches in our dinner plans, they've also got regular tables, booths and outdoor patio seating where you can just sit, chat and take in the awesome food and decor. They have 2 huge, awesome fireplaces- one in door and one out door that are just beautiful to take in.The sayings on the walls are hilarious so take a second to read them all (my personal favorite is "I drink to make other people more interesting" ;-)), there is framed underwear outside the restroom doors (a thong indicating the women's room and boxers indicating the men's room) and just in case that all wasn't great enough- there is a little bit of framed eye candy in the restrooms as well. Don't worry it's nothing graphic that you would want to hid your childrens eyes from, but just enough to put a smile on your face ;-) The food is really quite good- kind of like bar fare with a little bit of a high end twist- and it really works. I've been there 4 or 5 times, have had something different everytime, and have yet to be disappointed. The drinks are awesome as well. I highly reccomend the "Bee's Knees" if you're into mixed drinks- it's a bit sweet so you'll probably only want to do one or 2 of them but frankly, that's all most people have with dinner anyways so it's perfect. And for those of you that were concerned with the waitress' dress code... that is a non-issue anymore. They have standard clothes on these days so no need to shy away from coming back. My only 2 complaints would be that I wish they had some more healthy options on the menu. And once they address that, they should move closer to my house ;-)

This place is great!!! Very relaxing and great for any sporting event! I wish would have come here for at least one browns home game this year but if they keep up the fantastic service, food and drink I will be back for next football season. This is also a great place to just relax with friends. They have an area with couches and t.vs. You can reserve ahead of time. This would be great for a birthday party as well. We will be going back.
