Stopped in for a cocktail this afternoon after walking around downtown and getting my permanent bracelet fixed at Angel Ra down the street. I ordered an espresso martini and my fiancé ordered a Tito's neat and a beer. The espresso martinis here are delicious! We haven't been in for dinner in awhile so we're thinking about maybe later this week since we already had plans for dinner tonight. The service is always great and we always have a nice time here. We love brickhouse. read more

Brick House Restaurant & Lounge - Girl dinner - Italian Near Me - Lodi, California

Food: Yes again and again to the Brick House Restaurant and Lounge!! The hubby and I are always in search of our next culinary conquest. Ok, its really just me but I found this little hidden gem tucked away in Lodi. I ordered the cheeseburger with fries and a coke. The hubby ordered the chicken sandwich and fries. Hands down one of the best burgers I ever had. It was seasoned and cooked perfectly. I asked for some jalepenos and added to my burger for a little spice. The patty was thick and juicy. Cant go wrong here. It was so good that a week later I was back and ordered the same thing. As a foodie, of course I tried my husbands chicken sandwich and it did not disappoint. It was not dry and it was well seasoned. I'm a southern girl so proper seasoning is key. Ambiance: Loved the ambiance at the Brick House. A cross between Cheers and old school Italian. It was clean, well decorated and nicely located in the charm of downtown Lodi. Service: The service was really good. Both times I went my server was Nathan. He was friendly, knowledgable and helpful. We chatted for quite a while as we arrived shortly after they opened and before the crowd started to arrive. The food arrived quickly and Nathan checked on us often to make sure we were well taken care of. Parking: Parking is not horrible but like in any downtown you may have to walk a block or two. Overall: Excellent menu options for dinner and lunch. The menu is not so varied that they are a jack of all trades and master of none but its just enough for you to find something delicious to hit the spot. The portion sizes are excellent. I mean you saw how big my burger was. Good food, good service means I will be back. Get over here!!!! read more

I normally love this restaurant. It is one of our go to places. However tonight was uncharacteristic of this restaurant. The food was subpar. Nothing was seasoned tonight. Everything was bland. We had a ribeye with a side of raw garlic. The seafood pesto pasta had no flavor what so ever. The clams linguine again had no flavor. Please introduce this cook to salt This was such a disappointment. read more

First time trying Brick House, & I don't think it'll be the last. I met with some friends here the day after Christmas... Friendly & helpful staff. The food was really good. Ample seating. It was surprisingly quieter than expected considering it's a lounge & it was dinner time. We ordered a Bread Board, which oddly looked significantly different from what other neighboring tables received, but it was still good... especially with the butter. We also got the Gorgonzola Fries & Burrata Bowl... both were really good, def recommend. I wish I got pictures of everyone's food which all looked delicious, but they all loved their orders. I got to try the Gnocci with meat sauce (YUM!). I got the Pesto Seafood Pasta & it was so good! Def recommend if you like seafood. I'll def be back to try the Farmer's Special since they sold out. read more

Adam the bartender is the best part of the Brickhouse, he makes awesome drinks and he is also a very kind soul. The deep fried asparagus was very good, highly recommend! read more

I've only eaten here twice, like in the same week because I was happy the first time I tried it, and wanted my boyfriend to try the steak skewers with flat bread. It's so good!!! They serve it as an appetizer but they should make it an entree because I would go there just for that. The sides are all separate but shareable sizes. My first time here, I had the ribeye steak which is my favorite. My family came here to celebrate a birthday party and we were not disappointed! The service was excellent and we even met the owner who came out and introduced himself and checked on us. We all liked what we ordered and will definitely be back for special occasions. read more

The waitress was so nice and friendly when I asked her what she recommends she recommended almost everything on the menu which is great that means she likes the place as well I also couldn't decide what I wanted off the menu which is why I asked because there was so many great options! She told me I could get small portions of two of the things so I can have more options which is what I went for and I was not disappointed both things were really good! I love the seasonal decor and the layout of the place they had an area for a huge party. Bar seating table seating booth seating and outdoor seating. read more

Brick House Restaurant & Lounge - Their Story - Italian Near Me - Lodi, California

First time at this location, the service was fantastic and the food was delicious! We shared three appetizers and had drinks on the patio. I was worried about sitting outside and getting good service but the server was excellent and very attentive! We'll be back! read more

Tried the Girl Dinner Special and honestly -- such a vibe! For $29 you get a Caesar salad, truffle fries, pasta of your choice, and your pick of an espresso martini or an Aperol spritz. The portions were super generous and everything hit the spot. The truffle fries were chef's kiss -- crispy, golden, and loaded with flavor. Total standout. We originally went with the espresso martini, but when it came out, it looked a little sad (no foamy top -- my friend's a bartender and clocked it right away). Our server was a total gem and happily swapped it for an Aperol spritz, which ended up being so refreshing and the perfect pairing for the meal. All in all, delicious food, awesome service, and seriously great value. Highly recommend the Girl Dinner if you're looking for something fun, filling, and a little fancy without breaking the bank! read more

Brick House Restaurant & Lounge - The sad looking martini. - Italian Near Me - Lodi, California

This was my first time eating here but I can tell you it's not gonna be the last! Everything tasted amazing & the service was excellent. We started in the bar for appetizers & drinks & then moved to the dining room for dinner. My husband was very happy to see Pliny the elder on tap! We ordered calamari, meat ravioli w/ meat sauce, linguini & clams, farmer special, & the rack of lamb. All delicious! The farmers special is enough for 2 people! Such a big dish! The ravioli portion size is a little small but they're house made & really tasty. We will definitely be coming back to try that ciopinno they have on Thursdays! read more

I made reservations online and I'm glad I did because it was pretty busy for a Friday night. i've passed by's place several times and never realized it was a working restaurant. They have one area with bar seating along with their bar and to the right they have restaurant seating. Once we checked in, we were seated right away. Our server came up and gave us some time to review the drink menu as well as the food menu. I had the "I'll have what she's having" as recommended and it was pretty good. It was mild and sweet. we all went in for the prime rib special, which they offer on Fridays and Saturdays. It was a good size portion along with vegetables and your choice of a pasta. I went with the creamy pesto and it was really good. I can't forget to mention the complementary bread, it was soft and delicious with the garlic butter. read more

To be honest, I didn't get to spend as much time here as I would've liked as I came here for a quick dinner with friends before going to the movies across the street. Our server was very sweet and understanding/accommodating though and brought out the drinks and food as quickly as possible, so I truly appreciate the good service and recommendations. First of all they have quite a robust menu with plenty of options. I had overheard one of the staff explained to some guests that they had the menu updated to have more à la cart style options as it seems many people like to do that or family style. Plus, they had changed up their specials and the one my friend and I picked was the girls dinner special as it seemed to have the right portion that we needed for our quick dinner. It definitely satisfied as it had a nice balance of a little of everything, including salad and delicious shoestring fries. There's a good number of pasta choices and I definitely wanted to try the fresh pasta that I hear this restaurant is known for. I got the gnocchi with pesto primi sauce which was light and perfectly flavored. Some sauces I've tried can be quite salty. Lastly, the aperol spritz was refreshing, with a light tinge of sweetness. We came on a Tuesday evening, which was not too busy and by 6:30 PM. Had a good number of people in the restaurant. It never got too loud and the restaurant is pretty spacious with lots of seating arrangements. Even though it was a weekday evening, parking can still be a little tricky as there is a small lot next to the building and street parking. However, Lodi does have its free parking garage just a three minute walk from the restaurant. The vibe is pretty casual , modern country style. Would like to give a shout out to the bathroom (lol) as it seems upgraded. I would definitely like to come back to Brick House and try the other menu items on a day that I'm not rushing. Thanks! read more

We were celebrating my oldest daughter's birthday so we had a party of 8. Reservations were definitely helpful for this occasion. The restaurant has an elegant decor even though the atmosphere is casual. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We had a few cocktails which were just ok (margaritas, lemon drop). What I really enjoyed was the food. They serve complimentary bread with garlic butter and man did I enjoy that! For appetizers, I recommend the Sita, the aioli was delicious. I had the chicken Marsala and it was cooked to perfection along with well seasoned veggies. Some of the other dishes our party members had were filet mignon, salmon and lasagna. Everyone loved their meals. We had a great time. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for date nights. read more

Food was very very salty. I had the Marsala chicken with mushrooms and cherry tomatoes. I only ate half of it. It was as if the food was salted and then they forgot if the salted it so they added some more. That bad. Yes we should have walked out. Stayed because it was our date night and had driven in from valley springs My wife had the prime rib sandwich, lots of bread and the loaf was extra crispy. She ate about 1/3 of it . Brought the rest home for the dog. Wine was good, server was very nice. Just atrocious food. We also had asparagus appetizer, not bad but a bit on the oily side. My wife got sick/nauseous that night. We will not be back. And my wife was the first one to say it. read more

We went in last weekend after a wine tasting. I'd stopped in before for cocktails but the place never stood out to me as somewhere I'd add to my list of "pasta please!" I went basic and ordered the fettuccine... it was SOOOOOO cheesy (and delightful!) Because we had also ordered the burrata (another dish I'd definitely order again), I only finished half my pasta and took the rest home. Let me tell you, cheesy pasta the next day for breakfast? Count me in! Our waitress was great. She was really on top of things with our order and helpful with suggestions. Brick House is at the top of my list to satisfy any pasta cravings that arise. read more

We happen to find this place after our first choice didn't work out for Mother's Day Brunch! I can't even begin to tell you how wonderful it was! We were seated immediately and had the most attentive and sweetest server named Cynthia! They had a preset brunch menu but had amazing choices plus a charcuterie and baked goods platter which were both a delight along with bottomless mimosas! The atmosphere was very charming and a large space. We had a huge booth for just the 3 of us. This was an absolute gem to find and absolutely made my Mother's Day! We will be back! read more

Reservations are highly recommended. Service is always great, you can't go wrong with any dish you select. This last visit, I had the ribeye and my husband had a chicken dish. He said his was delicious, my ribeye was seasoned and cooked to perfection! Their cocktails and mocktails are so good also! Love the dim, upscale vibes. Must visit when in the area. read more

Service was excellent. They have updated their menu and adjusted the recipes on the favorites. In some cases may be trying too hard. The French Dip for instance was really heavy on the garlic cloves as well as cheese. Of course that is a matter of taste. The Gin Martini was my highlight! read more

I am unsure how this place has good reviews. Prime rib was subpar, fettuccine Alfredo was a big bowl of sauce and mushy pasta, fries tasted old and reheated, and chicken strips should be crispy, not soft like heated in microwave. Only plus was the hostess and server. For the $$ it was terrible and hugely disappointing. read more

The Brickhouse in downtown Lodi boasts a charming vibe and service that instantly makes you feel welcome. I was particularly taken by the house salad--it was loaded with delightful toppings like cucumber, chickpeas, and salami. However, the small bowl made it a bit of a challenge to mix everything evenly, so I ended up with more bits of the toppings and not as much of the lettuce. I was impressed to learn that all the pasta is made in-house daily, and my waitress was so persuasive in singing the praises of the meat sauce. I ordered the ravioli with the meat sauce -- The sauce did have a zesty kick, but I couldn't help wishing there was just a bit more to it to cover the raviolis. My friend opted for the beef stroganoff and enjoyed it, though she did mention that it leaned on the richer side. While the restaurant's quaint charm and bustling Saturday evening atmosphere are definite draws, I personally felt that the food, though promising, didn't quite hit the mark for me. All in all, The Brickhouse is a cute spot with a lot going for it--great service, inviting ambiance --with just a few tweaks needed on the culinary front. read more

Great Spot for a Quick Bite After Wine Tasting! We stopped in for an early dinner around 3:30 PM and found that only the bar area was open with a limited menu--but it worked out perfectly for us. After a day of wine tasting, we were looking for something quick and satisfying, and this spot hit the mark. My wife and I went with the classic cheeseburger and fries, while our friends ordered the fried chicken sandwich and fries. Everything came out hot, fresh, and flavorful. The burger was juicy, the fries were crispy, and our friends gave the chicken sandwich a thumbs up too. The bar area was lively, with plenty of high-top tables, a couple of cozy booths, and multiple TVs playing sports--perfect for relaxing and catching a game. We got a peek at the full dinner menu, and it looked really tempting. We'll definitely be back to try it out when the full kitchen is open! read more

Which step was very nice at this place. We ordered the brick old-fashioned and they were beyond terrible. The food was fine because how can you mess up shrimp or salmon. But the extra side pasta that we had was mediocre at best and then suddenly, a wonderful dessert appeared, but we were both already stuffed. Did I mention that the bread board was good? You know there aren't very many places in Lodi that I could recommend for dinner. This might be one of them since it was recommended with 4 1/2 stars. Be cautious. I forgot to mention there's one waitress for the entire half of the dining room that we were in. read more

Man, I called my wife and I totally slammed this place, but I'm not gonna come here and do that because I've got the emotion out. It was a to go order, but the interaction with the staff was nice. Whoever checked me out seemed like a really nice lady. --- I had the beef stroganoff and what a beauty in this picture it was. This looked really really good and to be honest it fell hard to the floor taste wise... but it eventually bounced back knee level. It was sadly bland:( The pro: the texture and freshness of the dish makes up for the taste. I still ate it, and I am thankful for it. I think the dish taste wise is a 2.5 star(out of 5), but I'm giving you three because I believe that you have other dishes that probably are good and this dish wasn't bad enough for me not to come back . Parking was a massacre also. However, I get it. read more

Also one of the 4 "nice" places to dine in Lodi. Our server was very-very sweet and polite, helpful and attentive. The chef also came out to see how we liked our dessert.

Had an amazing experience dinning here! The manager Mike was very helpful and had a good attitude when it came to our party of 20! Our server was just as awesome!

Definitely will recommend and return for some delicious food. read more

I first visited Brickhouse Restaurant and Lounge for a friend's birthday, and it was a fantastic experience! I ordered the Farmer's Special, and it was so good that I had to bring my boyfriend back so he could try it too. The short rib is incredibly tender and packed with flavor--definitely one of the highlights of the meal. As a lovely surprise, the staff treated us to two free desserts for the celebration, and we were so grateful for that thoughtful gesture. The atmosphere is inviting and perfect for a cozy dinner, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. If you're in Lodi, I highly recommend stopping by Brickhouse to try the Farmer's Special--you won't be disappointed! read more

It was my friends' birthday and we had a reservation; however, it did take them additional 15 minutes. I ordered the ravioli, it was soooooo good. There was a special sauce that they mixed together for it and it is their most famous. I'm coming back for the pasta. The owner checked up on us. The place is really aesthetic and the staff is super friendly. read more

I got the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. It was pretty good. I'm not gonna lie. They gave me three pieces of garlic bread, which is not very much. The portion was a good size and the service is great. I was even able to play some music bingo which is pretty cool. I think it's a little overpriced. read more

The service was exceptional , but I ordered the Farmers Special and it was SOOO salty...I couldn't eat it! My friend tried it...she likes salty...and it was too salty for her too. I NEVER do this, but when the server came back to ask how everything was, I had to tell her, and she offered to bring me something else. So I ordered the shrimp scampi, which was wonderful. (However the side of spinach that came with it was salty...but I didn't complain.) If you don't like super salty, I would ask for them to hold off on the extra salt they may add. And again, the server was great...we really enjoyed her and she was very attentive. read more

Happy hour 2-5 important you know that only serving food off the happy hour menu $5 off appetizers $2 off drinks and if you want pasta it'll be only available on the kids menu. They did allow you to add protein which was a plus. But if you were expecting to try their other menu items come during dinner time. Location is across the Lodi movie theater so this is a great place for date night before movies. Kid friendly huge tables for big groups in the back or for a party. Everything from the bar to the tables and bathrooms was very clean. Appetizers what can I say but WOW! everything tasted fresh hot and cooked to perfection. Mushrooms were my top favorite if your a mushroom fan! I can eat that alone. Mother clucker with fries $11 during happy hour great price and taste amazing! Coconut prawns huge prawns. Zucchini with the ranch was also great! Nothing I had wasn't good... would definitely come back to try the rest of the menu. Our waitress Cynthia hands down wish all waitress was like her filled our waters no questions asked she's just on top of everything!!! Hostess was also very nice! Tip: Music can be played on your phone through app if you want to pay to listen to what you want while your there hanging out! Great location downtown Lodi read more

May 13th was mine and my husband's second time coming here and we love this place! The first time we came with a big party and had to sit at the bar because there was no room for us but it worked out perfectly, we enjoyed our food and yummy drinks at the bar with the bartenders Adam and Gus! And let me say they make the best micheladas! We came to this location for a second time due to the service of the bartenders and the fried asparagus! We have a location near us in elkgrove but we love this location in Lodi and will be again! I also want to say how great Adam is, he remembered us from the first time we came in! And recommend the asparagus and garlic bread! He has such great customer service and makes u feel welcomed read more

Brick House Restaurant & Lounge - Fried asparagus - Italian Near Me - Lodi, California

it was fine just not my cup of tea. the vodka sauce really threw me off because i've never seen a vodka sauce look or taste like this. this sauce tasted meaty even though i don't think their was meat in it. the sauce also want completely smooth, but also not chunky. sort of like a puree texture somewhat. it didn't taste like any other vodka sauce i have ever had. such a bummer because i was so excited. i love vodka sauce. the garlic bread was extremely buttery and had a strong garlic flavor. the first bite i thought was good and then the more i kept eating the more i wasn't sure how i felt about it. it was just excessively buttery and the garlic was so overpowering and something was weird about it. i love garlic and put it in everything i cook so not sure what the issue here was. overall, i don't think i can justify spending $29 on this considering the small portions. if the food was really good then i would have been fine with the portion size, but because i wasn't impressed it just seemed to underwhelming to justify the price. i have heard that other menu items are super yummy though so maybe these items just aren't a strong suit. read more

I absolutely love this place! I worked with Gino to host my son's birthday here, and everything was flawless from start to finish. We were a pretty large party, but the staff handled it beautifully--food and drinks came out right on time, and everyone was taken care of with such grace and professionalism. The atmosphere is adorable and welcoming, and the food? Incredible. I had the handmade lasagna, which was rich and flavorful, followed by a dreamy slice of tiramisu and (not one, but) two glasses of wine. My whole family was happy with their entrées and drinks--smiles all around! This spot is a gem. 10/10 recommend, and I'll definitely be back! read more

This place was AMAZING! We are from out of town, in town for a funeral. We had a party of 8, but didn't have a reservation. The host was SO nice and sat us almost immediately. The entrance was nice and big with lots of seating available for waiting. The lighting wasn't harsh and the music was soft and tasteful. The food was AMAZING! I got the three cheese ravioli with meat sauce and my boyfriend got the Italian Prime Dip sandwich. We split them with each other and were super full. But it was so worth it! The waitress was so kind. And was very patient with our big party. 10/10 will be back! read more
