Brick Yard has become my regular weekday lunch. Consistent quality, generous portions, and the staff has started to recognize me. I usually grab the Buddha Bowl but I've worked through most of the menu and haven't had a miss yet.
I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Kale Caesar hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
Great vegan & plant-based option for the area. The Buddha Bowl was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
Hidden gem. We were in the neighborhood for an appointment and stopped here based on a friend's recommendation. So glad we did. The Jackfruit Tacos was unreal — clearly made with care. We're already planning our next visit.
Mixed feelings. The Kale Caesar 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.
Solid spot. The Cauliflower Wings is a standout — bold flavors, well-seasoned, comes out hot. Took off a star only because the wait at the counter was longer than I expected on a weekday. Still, I'd come back without hesitation.
