I came in on a Wednesday night and was sat immediately by the owner. He explained the the menu and promptly got us some waters (and kept the glasses full throughout the meal). The restaurant is cute and comfortable and I love that you can see what's going on in the kitchen. I had the Spanish rice and shrimp witch was a pleasant surprise since I had no idea what to expect. The proteins were fresh, tender, and flavorful while the veggies and rice complemented them well. I can't wait to see what the outdoor area looks like in the fall with its bevy of space heaters and seating. I will be back! 9/10 read more

I would only recommend this place to a very specific audience. If you are a smoker: hookah, marijuana, cigars, or anything similar. This may be for you. However, if you cannot tolerate the smell of smoke or have an upper respiratory condition such as asthma or bronchitis, I strongly advise against going. I did enjoy the concept of the space. Each group has its own private pod equipped with a television, overhead speakers, mood lighting, and comfortable seating, allowing you to have your own relaxed kickback-style gathering. The food available for purchase was good, though when I visited the menu was limited, and they had run out of dessert. That was disappointing; however, the owner was kind enough to comp us for the missing dessert, which I appreciated. Be aware that the atmosphere can get a bit rowdy, depending on the guests in nearby pods. There is also a BYOB option, which my group and I fully took advantage of. Unfortunately, I left smelling heavily of smoke in my hair, clothes, and even my purse absorbed the odor. I would recommend improved ventilation or the use of air purifiers or humidifiers in the rooms. I will not be returning. read more

I am on the fence about my score. Here's why; the food is excellent, but they need to improve in every other area of service. I was prepared to overlook the deficiencies, until they declined to mention the private room upcharge, I saw it on the tab and asked. It's tucked around a corner. We went in the evening and it was dark. There was NO One to greet diners at the entrance, we had to look for people for help and resorted to asking other diners. The host/hostess area is dark and not clearly identifiable. The staff and owner are very nice. The owner directed the server to take us to a private room, since we were first time patrons, but failed to mention the upcharge, which was significant. It was a holiday, so the menu was pre-set with a flat charge. We had to ask, no one volunteered the pricing, it wasn't indicated on the special menu. The service was extremely slow, even for a holiday. We waited excessively for everything. It took more than a half hour for our dinner order to be taken, after we consumed our appetizer/salad. No check-in, no refill ask , but it was a holiday, so... But they were all very nice and courteous. The private room concept was awesome. I was planning to return with a larger party. There is a TV and music in the rooms, temperature controlled. Really nice concept. I would have let everything go and still returned to the facility, but for the failure to inform of the $100 upcharge, which the hostess did discount down to $50, because she "knew they didn't mention it" beforehand. It had happened before. Im really salty about that. That is a failure on the owner. My other safety concern is that the entrance should be better monitored/staff attended when patrons are in private rooms with limited to of line of sight to the entrance or open area. read more

Brick Bistro has potential, but the event I attended was disorganized; one chef, one hostess doing everything. Online the venue says it opens at 12:00pm I arrived 11 min after the start of our event and it seemed they were just setting up. The food was just okay. I ordered the steak, eggs and potatoes. The hostess didn't ask for the temperature but they made it medium rare, which I prefer medium well, but it was cooked well done. I also ordered salt and vinegar wings and I cannot tell you how they taste as I left after waiting for them. I told the table to share amongst each other once they came out. Not enough seating. people left early so others could sit. The themed rooms (lounge or dining) are a nice touch, and it's BYOB/Hookah which sets a cool tone. But if I go back, it'll be with a small group, hoping for more polish next time. read more

This place has potential. I came here for a "Link & Drink" gift exchange. When I drove up I was a little confused. The sign from the street makes you think it's inside of the liquor store, however it's actually behind it. There is some street parking but if you can car pool or rideshare I suggest that. The concept is cute. There's I think 6 private rooms each being able to seat up to 7-16 people at once. Theres also an area outdoors that's would be great when the weathers nice. Each room has its own vibe and is color coordinated. The staff is very friendly. I took some points off for food. It took a really, really long time for us to get our meal, and one of the pizzas we ordered, we couldn't get because they didn't have the ingredients but we weren't told for over an hour. They have Salt & Vinegar wings which has become popular. Think Lemon Pepper wings with a twang. They also have cards and board games you can borrow. I would come here again. read more

I came! I saw!! I conquered!!! I found this place last Thursday while leaving another establishment. I ran to Google so quickly to see what this was about, that I almost twisted my ankle !! Lol After viewing the website, menu, IG and Yelp page, I was shocked that I hadn't heard about this place sooner !! I immediately invited hubby on a brunch date!! Once you view the hash browns, you'll understand why !! Ha So let's get to the meat and potatoes of this review... literally!! Street parking! This place has street parking just like everywhere else in Hampden. DO NOT park in the garage across the street as it's not affiliated, and you'll be towed. Hubby and I had a small moment trying to locate the door as there isn't huge signage. Once you walk through the gate from side street, you've arrived. We were the 1st customers of the day. We entered a welcoming dining area where we were able to chose our seats and were assisted immediately. Collectively we ordered the following. Twelve Herb Chicken Sandwich: Very flavorful and well plated. Great portion size. Waffle, Chicken Sausage, and Scrambled Egg Whites w American Cheese: Hubby enjoyed this meal so much. It was soooo plentiful. The chicken sausage was amazing! Brick Berry Bliss: Delish Mocktail. This was 1 of several. Very refreshing !! Banana Pudding: Hubby devoured as much as he could there, and inhaled the leftovers as soon as we arrived home. This was an amazing experience. Customer service was quick, consistent and polite. Hubby and I toured the outside. They have individual climate controlled seating pods that have specific colors themes for each. They also have 3 different sized pods. I'm guessing they hold 8-16 folks each. They're insanely cool. I've been showing my friends and family the pics since leaving. If you have not visited this neighborhood gem, make it a priority !! read more

I was so excited to visit this new restaurant! It has an amazing outdoor area. It's BYOB and they can add your liquor to any of the mocktails. Our waiter was knowledgeable of the menu and kind. The beef smash burger was delicious. I can't wait to come back to try the pizza. This is a great place to hang with friends, enjoy a variety of seating areas, and play games. They have private rooms too for small events!! read more

Let's hear it for new businesses with creative concepts! This place is a new spot and I have to say that their vision of individual dining rooms, has great potential. Each room holds between 8-10 people and it's an opportunity to have your own private dining experience without the hassle of other guests in your space. The rooms are equipped with televisions where you can play music and there are board games available for use-making this very family friendly! Drinks: it is a BYOB establishment-if you desire something more adult lol. But, their strawberry lemonade was actually very refreshing and the perfect balance of tangy and sweet. Appetizers: Crab dip with fresh baked bread: wasn't the best that I've had but it was tasty Cheesesteak egg rolls: not really a fan but I get the vision Shrimp rocket: not my favorite, it was a little bland Caesar salad: delicious! And they added multigrain crotons Main dish: I ordered the steak and shrimp teriyaki which came with a rice pilaf and fresh green beans. The first steak I ordered was really salty but after a discussion with the manager, the chef corrected my order and hand delivered a perfect steak! The shrimp on the side was perfectly cooked and the rice pilaf was a hit with me! Seriously, that was some amazing rice pilaf! Not too soggy and not too hard, there is an art to preparing this dish and the chef mastered it! The green beans were my fav! SO goooood! Service: they are fairly new so the service can use some work, a general manager, and food and beverage training to help the staff thrive. Overall, I enjoyed my dining experience and would give them another try for breakfast or brunch when I'm back in town. Let's support Black owned businesses and give this place a try! The concept will win you over. read more

Had the pleasure of hosting my partner's birthday brunch here. The concept of the private rooms (there are like 5/6- different theme colors) with the ability to use the TVs makes the space pretty flexible. You can plan a romantic small get together or just use it to change scenery while remote working. For our brunch in the "Red Room", it was an all-around fantastic experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff was attentive, professional, and accommodating, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. We had just the right amount of check-ins and our friends enjoyed the concept and privacy. We also had access to using the TV in the room, so we got to curate the listening experience to our liking-- the vibes were vibing. The food was the real star of the brunch. The menu offered a great selection, but the standout dishes were undeniably the steak and eggs. Cooked to perfection, the steak was tender and flavorful, while the eggs were just the right balance of fluffy and rich. It quickly became a crowd favorite at our table. My partner enjoyed the beef egg rolls and the chips and dip as well. The private room was a great choice--intimate, well-appointed, and perfect for a gathering where we could enjoy our meal, drinks and conversation without distractions. Overall, Brick Bistro delivered on all fronts: great food, excellent service, and a fantastic private dining experience. I'd highly recommend it for anyone looking for a special night out or a private event with top-tier hospitality. Special shout out to the lead server, Ben, for making our experience epic. My partner had a great time and we will def be visiting them again. read more

DELICIOUS! My partner and I came for brunch this past weekend and shared the Florentine eggs Benedict and banana pudding French toast. The flavor was amazing and we were left super full and satisfied (which I can't say about all Benedict's and French toasts)! The side of potatoes had wonderful flavor with onions and peppers, they were perfectly cooked, so I didn't even need to add ketchup. Inside is very modern and cozy vibe. I am intrigued to try one of the rooms to rent outside. It took us a second to find the restaurant since it was tucked back from the larger road, but it almost gave it a speak-easy feel. I'm glad we found this place and will definitely be back. read more

Didn't know this place was there, but sure glad I found it! There is a serenely decorated main restaurant, which is bathed in natural light, with a board game room in the back, serving mocktails (until they get their liquor license) and a gastropub type menu. Outside in the open space are individual rooms, storage space-esque set up, that can be rented. We went at lunch time and both brunch and lunch was being served. The Thanksgiving egg rolls were delicious and reminded me of all the good Tday plates I've enjoyed. That shrimp smash burger was one of the best shrimp burgers I've had, the picture doesn't do it justice...the shrimp were roughly chopped, seasoned with herbs, formed into perfectly grilled patties. It was juicy and satisfying. Chicken chips are thin slices of lightly battered and fried chicken breast. They were tasty and the eggs on the platter were perfectly scrambled. Our server was delightful and funny. Excited to return! read more

Had my birthday party at Brick Bistro this weekend and everything was amazing!! Such a cool spot and concept for a restaurant. We had a party of 8 so we booked a private room and it was so much fun to put whatever we wanted on the tv and have our own space. The service was great and the food great too! We loved everything and had a great experience. We can't wait to go back asap! read more

This is the most unique, chilliest spot. Great decor and atmosphere, and excellent fresh food. We especially love the Red Snapper and the steak. This place is slept on- you have to check it out! There is cool outdoor seating and they have several private dining rooms. The vibes are impeccable. read more

I love it here! 5 stars... if your reading this you must try this place the food the worker, everything is A1

Food is okay but I get home late at night from a shift where I'm working at 2 am(bar shift) and it's loud and I can't sleep because of it

The food was amazing. The peach cobbler was some of the best I've ever had. The chef came to talk to the guests. Ambiance was amazing. Great addition to the neighborhood. Everyone needs to give them a try. read more

If I wanted to sit on an uncomfortable bench in a small room with a TV and eat a burger, I would just stay home. Weird concept, "dining pods"? There's a bigger room where the kitchen is that more people can sit in but it's not very warm and inviting. I have to wonder what people will do in the dead of winter, you need to leave that room or your pod to go out into the elements to go to the bathroom. Then menu is pretty basic; breakfast, sandwiches, burgers, some dips. Entrees are a mishmash of different ethnicities. Eh. I think all of the 5 star reviews have to be family and friends. read more

Burger and brick salad were great! Cool atmosphere and quality service. Music was good and excited to see it buzzing with people outside
