Brick Kitchen has become my regular weekday lunch. Consistent quality, generous portions, and the staff has started to recognize me. I usually grab the Spicy Tenders but I've worked through most of the menu and haven't had a miss yet.
Came here on a whim during my lunch break and I'm hooked. The Buffalo Wings was easily the best version I've had this year. Friendly staff, fast service, and they actually got my order right the first time. Will be back next week.
Honestly impressed. We tried three different items between the table and the Korean BBQ Wings stole the show. The staff genuinely seemed to enjoy being there which makes a difference. Cannot recommend enough.
Hidden gem. We were in the neighborhood for an appointment and stopped here based on a friend's recommendation. So glad we did. The Spicy Tenders was unreal — clearly made with care. We're already planning our next visit.
Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the Buffalo Wings and finished every bite. Prices feel fair for the portions. The dining room was a little loud but that's expected on weekends.
