    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!!!!

    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.

    Braised short ribs with homemade pasta/Farmers Special Entree. The beef was so tender and delicious.

    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.

    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.

    Happy Hour is always a Great time here. The prices for a nice Hamburger or Chicken Burger , Prawns and more. The Dining Area is very comfortable. Geno,Adam,Cynthia and Caitlin makes each visit enjoyable. Their service is ON POINT! You MUST try The Beef Stroganoff!

    The sad looking martini.

    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!

    Farmer's Special
    Jillian B.

    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!

    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.

    Girls Dinner Special - get salad and fries. Choice of pasta ,fresh bread, cocktail of choice
    Josephine A.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Update 6/2026: This was a very poor showing for these guys…read more We took our parents here for Father's Day and it was disappointing overall. For the most part the food was bland. Bad: Their "Kobe" burger was $29 or so and was a good portion size. The problem? Lacking any kind of flavor or seasoning. The beef was flavorless. The stroganoff was a good portion size but again it was severely lacking in the seasoning department. Good: Those who ordered the corn soup and the porcini mushroom ravioli enjoyed them. They especially enjoyed the sauce from the ravioli. The desserts overall were enjoyed by the table. The sticky toffee pudding, while not as rich as we are used to, was still relatively good; soft and moist enough. The dark chocolate oblong with mango passion fruit was enjoyed by everyone too. The interior remains unchanged; like a classy London gastropub. Service: communication is key. Where they dropped the ball was that we mentioned on the reservation that we were there for Father's Day and prime rib, which they do on Sundays. As you walk in you even see the sign for the prime rib special. We sat down and the server mentioned that there was no prime rib this weekend. I had even chatted with them on the reservation app and they made no mention of this. We could have gone somewhere else had we known in advanced. Our server was relatively nice too.
