Mixed feelings. The Chicken Tenders was excellent and the cashier was friendly, but my side came out cold and they were out of two of the things I wanted to order. Probably worth another try, but not the experience I was hoping for.
Brick Stop 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.
Hidden gem. We were in the neighborhood for an appointment and stopped here based on a friend's recommendation. So glad we did. The Chicken & Waffles was unreal — clearly made with care. We're already planning our next visit.
I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Chicken Tenders hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
