    Mother MotherClucker chicken sandwich
    Larry P.

    We had a great dinner at Brick and Barrel. We got there at 6 pm and was immediately seated in the room near the fireplace. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was plenty of seating inside as most people were dining outside on the patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waitress, Nikki, was very friendly and did a good job of serving us. I had the Mother Clucker chicken sandwich and was not disappointed. My wife had a cheese pizza and liked it a lot. There was a very good selection of draft beers at the full bar. They have a great bourbon selection as well. We would go back again.

    Well ... I really hate to post bad reviews...but when you are a regular at a restaurant and have given them a LOT of $$$ and are treated as badly as we were, you would not be happy. Called in and talked to Trish ... Asked if we could get a seat near the fireplace around 6:30pm. Trish said that shouldn't be a problem ...and said "the later the better" I said ok great, I'll call back and confirm. I called back 5 minutes later and said we'll be there at 6:45, she said "Great see you then". Showed up at 6:50 with a new business partner and was told "sorry we can't seat you near the fireplace and you'll have to wait 30 minutes." I asked the young boy at the host stand if Trish was there and he said yes ... I told him she had agreed on having us in at 6:45. All of this is just bad ... But what happened next was what brought this review. The young man came back and said Trish said "I never told him that"! You embarrassed me in front of a new business partner ... Good luck Guys ... we won't be back!

    Everything is good here. But this place is more of a burger and flatbread/pizza. With a touch of bourbon! It can be pricey. Just keep that in mind!

    Gosh, this hit the spot! Up and around doing errands in Blonox and remembering a nice little spot up the hill; [[HIGHLIGHT]]with bar dim lit, family tables seating and patio seating in the sweet fall breeze.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Today we went to the bar, had a few items in mind. Burgers and a pizza to snack on as appetizer / take home. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the ambiance and service, folks are helpful, busy and friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a great space and good hangout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Mussels
    Jeremy B.

    3/14/25 Ate List: Mussels - 7.8 Nonna's Meatballs - 7.6 Motherclucker - 8.1 Such a cool spot. Removed from the thick of it, feels homey. Service was kind. Could tell our waitress was hustling. Could also sense the "younger staff" members need to learn how to really pitch in. So first, the apps. Mussels came in a very creamy white sauce. Was a unique but delicious taste. Nonna's meatballs were simple but addicting. The Motherclucker was a real star. Great sandwich. Fries were a familiar standard/texture and heat. But a good standard to have. Overall, this spot was awesome! Will absolutely be back!

    Gunslinger
    Marla C.

    I went with my best friend! We both got burgers. She got the Gearhead and I got the Gunslinger. I loved all the fresh jalapeños mine came with. If you don't like spicy I would not recommend this one for you. But the burgers were thick and delicious. The fries were also good. The staff was very nice. We can't wait to go back when the weather is nice and sit outside.

    Spinach dip with pita bread
    Cesca D.

    My husband and I bought a just pay half coupon for this restaurant and decided to use it this past weekend. I have been here one other time but this was my husband's first experience and he is a tough food critic. There was no wait to be seated and our waitress appeared quickly to take our drink order. Nothing fancy for drinks, water and Diet Coke. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was music playing from a tv; oldies and my husband knew a lot of the songs. He seemed to enjoy this a lot[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. We decided on the spinach dip appetizer which was delicious; served with fried pita bread. I ordered the Cobb salad with chicken and he ordered a specialty burger with fries. The portions are huge. Food was delicious and my husband was very impressed with the burger. The coupon was great though we tipped on the amount before the discount.

    My sister and I tried Brick and Barrel for the first time tonight! The building itself has a cute and quaint historic charm to it. It kind of reminded me of the Downtown Charleston area restaurants (minus the beach/bay). It was the perfect night to sit outside on their patio (if only I could have a glass of wine, lol). I'm happy to say we did not leave hungry! We shared the large pretzel with beer cheese to start. We both followed that with burgers and specialty fries. My sister enjoyed a couple new cocktails outside our usual box( I'm jealous, haha). I'll definitely have to stop back post-delivery for the Caramel Bourbon . This is the perfect spot for a date night, family outing, or a night out with the girls! Friendly service, tasty food, and cute/casual atmosphere - 10/10 would recommend!

    The Gearhead
    Jordan A.

    The restaurant is beautiful!! I can't wait to come back and sit on the patio. The server we had was lovely. She was very attentive and quick to clear plates. Additionally, she refilled glasses swiftly as well. I appreciated that. The food was insanely good. I joked that it was too good the be located in the suburbs. No one had complaints about the food. I'm already craving the food again, and I went to dinner yesterday lol. The one negative I could think of is that there wasn't a lot of people in the restaurant, yet the food took a long time. It was definitely noticeable; however, I can't justify lowering their star count for that reason. You need to try Brick and Barrel!! It's phenomenal.

    The Mona Lisa with spicy sauce and pepperoni
    Emmin M.

    Yeah this is an easy call for five stars. We thought the food was super good. I got a margharita pizza with pepperoni and spicy sauce and it was amazing. My wife got a chicken salad and my son the burger with bacon jam. Everything was tasty and the service was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The look of this place is a great setting in the woods with an outdoor patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I visited Brick & Barrel Cross Keys for the first time during Pittsburgh Restaurant Week, and despite its immense popularity, I was seated immediately--no wait at all. That alone was a great start. I ordered The Barnyard Burger, their specialty duck fat fries, and what a bourbon hot chocolate from their seasonal special drinks menu. Simply put, this was the best burger I have ever had. Everything about it--from the quality of the meat to the toppings and the way it was cooked--was phenomenal. I enjoyed it so much that I returned just a week later to try another burger, The Gunslinger, along with regular fries and the Spinach Artichoke Dip appetizer. Once again, I was not disappointed--the flavors were outstanding, and everything was cooked to perfection. Of all the restaurants I visited during Restaurant Week, this was by far the best experience. The food was great, the service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere, an experience all on its own, really made it stand out, and I can't recommend it highly enough. If you're looking for incredible burgers and a top-tier dining experience, Brick & Barrel Cross Keys should be at the top of your list!

Even though it was late we were greeted with exceptional customer service and were seated at a table. Our waiter, Remi with an I and not a Y was absolutely fabulous. He made great suggestions and the food did not disappoint. I ordered the 16 inch pepperoni with bacon. My daughter ordered the pepperoni roll and my wife ordered the meatballs and 2 Bianca slices. My wife's name is also Bianca so a double bonus. Our food came out about 15 minutes later and everything was piping hot. To my surprise the pepperoni came with the real bacon strips on top and not your average bacon bits. The sourdough is top notch as well. I ate 6 of the 8 slices while my daughter ate two along with her pepperoni roll. My daughter enjoyed her roll but did wish it had more cheese. My wife enjoyed her meatballs. They give you 4 and are a decent size. She was only able to eat 3. The Bianca slice is a healthy thick slice. Overall, we enjoyed our time at Driftwood. The service was OUTSTANDING (Remi). The food was good. We ended up staying 20 minutes past closing and didn't notice any change in customer service. This place is definitely worth a shot.

I cannot say it is the best pizza I have had because different styles are all amazing. This is a unique style and I love it. The sauce was amazing, the ricotta cheese was so delicious and their meatballs were tremendous. What I loved was the crust - it had some chew and some tug; there was a little bit of char on the outside and the bottom. The meatballs were delicious and that sauce! The vodka sauce was perfect. I would have thought I would have missed the standard cheese on a pizza but the ricotta was super good. I placed my order on their website and it was easy; I was able to pay using my Apple Pay, which was a plus. We arrived and it was ready but we stood talking to the men in the shop and they were so kind. They asked us questions about us when they learned we had, recently, moved here.

It comes with vodka sauce, Lupe's meatballs, house cheese blend, fresh mozzarella, ricotta, and fresh basil leaves. Nicely charred crust.

To the right are a couple upright cold cases filled with drinks, salad, etc. Located a short 15 minute drive from Shadyside. Can't wait to return and try more pizza.

As a new Yorker, it's so very hard to impress me when it comes to Pizza! I'm the pickiest! A true pizza snob! But this place was well worth all the hype! Underrated if you ask me! All of the staff were very friendly, and helped me decide what to try. It definitely gives "family vibes" as soon as you walk in there. It's the definition of a hole in the wall, but I loved it. I live all the way in east Pittsburgh by plum and I drive ALLL the way over to Brookline, through the tunnels and under the bridges and over the bridges and under the tunnels again LOL.

We were told there would be a wait, but our pizza was ready right when they said it would be. The staff was also extremely friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Parking was a little tricky because of the location, but it was definitely worth it! The standout feature of this pizza for me was the flavor of the cheese (especially when paired with onions) that combination was easily my favorite part. They use a very generous, thick layer of cheese, which creates a rich and indulgent pizza. The cheese is quite oily and can slide off the crust, so personally the amount of cheese and oil was a little heavier than my usual preference. However, the chewy crust holds up well to the toppings, and there was still something really addictive about the overall flavor and texture of that cheese. One thing that surprised me was how good it was the next day when eaten cold. I actually prefer this pizza cold. The cheese and onions complemented each other even more, and the pizza felt a little less oily while allowing the flavors to shine even more. Overall, this is definitely a top-tier pizza place in the area. If you enjoy a flavorful, cheesy pizza with a great chewy crust, I would absolutely recommend giving it a try!

This shop will cook your pizza half cooked, as a lot of people like. We like ours well done cooked even longer than maybe the traditional cook time so we always request that. When my son went to pick up our pizza it was already sitting on the counter it had not been 15 since minutes since the order was placed. When he grabbed the box it was kinda wet on the bottom of box so we don't know if they set it on the counter on top of something ,but it was more than just extra sauce and onions that made the soggy like they assumed. We tried to recook it and when we took the pizza out of the box all the cardboard inside of the box was wet like something had been literally poured inside the box. I could barely get it out because it was so soggy it was falling apart. We live less than 5 minutes driving time so it was not from steam and cooking it more once we got home did not help it was that wet.. I have never seen pizza that soggy. I had my son call and they did not offer anything except advice on not to order onions or extra sauce when its humid out. We would have like a re-cooked pizza and to return the one we had especially since we had company. It was too wet to pick up a slice and inedible. So, if the owners see this maybe they'd like to somehow rectify it because now I have to start my grill to feed my company. Furthermore, if a customer orders extra sauce and onions on a pizza that.we are asking to be cooked well done an your only job is to cook pizza, you should advise the customer that it won't be crisp. We've ordered it that way before.. and as I said this was far beyond just soggy it was literally wet..and the 2 that ventured to eat it ,now have a stomach ache. It was most certainly undercooked and so wet it couldn't even be rebaked.
