Everything was perfect!! The Filet was cooked perfectly, the prime rib was like butter, salmon delish, and the ravioli was supple and hearty. Highly recommended! Oh, and everyone is so nice read more

Love this place! The "Girl Dinner" is a great value (Caesar salad, fries, a pasta and a cocktail) for $29. The burrata and tomato app is a go to as well. In the mood for garlic? Their garlic bread has actual cloves on it. The servers and the manager, Chris, are always on point. Definite plus, it's in the little downtown, cute part of Elk Grove!!! read more

We had Brick House cater a family event. From ordering to checking in to setting up to tasting the delicious food, we were all impressed. The roast chicken is simply delicious. The pasta was good, not overly sauced, tender. The other dishes were all good and people went back for seconds. And I cannot say enough nice things about the manager or the server who came to deliver and set up. The food was enough for lots of left overs. All in all an excellent experience we will definitely repeat. read more

Drove here from Gold River because of a video I saw on Facebook about a French dip sandwich. When I tried to order it, the guy looked at me like I had a third eye in my forehead. He said I don't know about that. Let me walk back into the kitchen and see if they're willing to make that. Yeah, that wasn't the response I was expecting. Came out a minute later and said, OK they're willing to do it. Really? I said no thanks I've got the wrong place. He responded very nonchalantly, no problem and walked away. Yeah, not my kind of place. read more

We have lived in Elk Grove for over 8 years now and we always say were going to come and eat here and finally we were able to do so. We sat down in the bar area (kid free for the night). Upon arrival we ordered our drinks and had no idea where to begin so we asked our waitress what she recommended-sautéed mushrooms(if you're a mushroom lover this is what you need to order) as an appetizer and Beef Stroganoff (enough food to feed 2, the pasta was freshly made too ) as our main dish Chris the manager approached us and welcomed us. Immediately my dodger fan husband began a conversation with him and the rest is history. We ended with the bread pudding with vanilla ice cream drizzled with Caramel and OMG it was heaven so good I might order this first next time. Our first visit will definitely not be our last. read more

We went out for girls night here and had a good time! I felt that they were pretty handicap accessible, had big portions, with a good wine and beer list. The noise was a bit loud and the decor seemed a little dated. Overall the pros outweigh these, the service was solid, and we had a fun! 1. Parking Parking lot with 2 handicap spots. Also easy walkway from the handicap spots into the restaurant. Easy to pull into from the street if coming from 99. I would suggest not trying to back out to the street when leaving however and instead we went through the parking lot, made a left at the ally and from there make a turn from the stop sign at Main Street. 2. Menu: Every thing we ordered was delicious. They had a large wine and beer menu. The blonde beer was ice cold and light for a summer drink. The house red was pretty mellow and very full bodied. The Sauvignon Blanc wasn't too sweet and had a hint of vanilla. The portion sizes of the meals were huge. None of could finish our plates! The bread is extra at 6 dollars, but worth it mainly due to the garlic/chive butter with it. We also ordered the fried zucchini as an appetizer - it was hot and crispy. The zucchini and breading were not soggy at all, and the breading stuck perfectly (these are common issues I've had at other places with fried zucchini) The ribeye was cooked perfectly and was incredibly tender. My friend pointed out that this was a very large piece a bit on the thinner side- they may have pounded it out to tenderize it is our guess. The farmer special was our favorite. It was a braised short rib and you could order it with pasta however we did it with the polenta. It was so very tender and savory. Came with a lot of polenta and it was very cheesy with Parmesan. The linguine and clams had both shelled and unshelled clams. I felt that there could have been more meat for the clam to pasta ratio. It was full of garlic and the cream sauce was zesty. 3. Atmosphere: It's a decent sized building, with a nice big bar in the front a smaller room to the left and a larger room in the back. There was plenty of seating for if you needed to wait. The walkways were wide and it was easy to move around, so no issues using a walker here and I would guess a wheelchair should be fine. The backroom had big booth seats, and would probably be good for large groups and families. The decor seemed a little dated and there was a jukebox in the smaller room, which although we were seated in the back was very loud and at the beginning of our experience it was hard to hear each other and was distracting. During this time the music kept switching songs every 10 to 30 seconds. I inquired why, and every Tuesday night they do "Music Bingo". So that could be a plus for some people, who want a more laid back atmosphere and enjoy a community game! The people in the front of the restaurant seemed to really enjoy it! However I would say if you are planning a quiet evening out or a first time date, you may want to come any other night but Tuesday. 4. Service: All our food and drinks come out in an appropriate time. Drinks were cold and food was hot! Our server made sure we had everything we needed and the manager even come by to check on us. I do love the brick building and how it's on old Elk Grove. We will be back! read more

In the area for a ProbPickleball Tournament and staying in Elk Grove with family. Decided to go out for a birthday dinner with husband. We ordered full rack of ribs and vegetable side and bread to share. The ribs were fairly good with a mustard sauce and bbq sauce to add. The vegetables were tasty and between ribs and veggies we had more than enough food. The server was efficient and brought our meal out hot. Ambiance had not changed much from years ago. They have a parking area next to restaurant which is convenient in Old town. read more

We found this place and it looked pretty good. We got there and had to wait about 10 minutes. The place was pretty busy around the bar area. They sat us in the back restaurant where it was much quieter. The waitress was great. Grabbed our drink order right away and then came back and took our food order. I got an old fashioned and I gotta say. They can make some good ones. I ordered the filet mignon and it was absolutely cooked perfect. Their mashed potato's is a huge portion and very tasty as well. read more

We decided to try out Brick House on a whim after going to the Thrift Market on Old Town Plaza. The atmosphere is comfortable and familiar even if you've never been. We didn't have a large appetite so we shared a house salad that was loaded with fresh veggies and a creamy Italian dressing. Then we split the seafood pesto dish as our main entree. It came out piping hot and fresh. The manager even stopped by to greet us and talk for a few minutes! The portions were plentiful and satisfying. We would definitely return again! read more

I haven't been to Brick House Restaurant in a few years, 4-5 years. For appearance sake it's the same. Brick building, older vintage vibes, nice interior, great parking and I love the talking security cameras and signs posted in the lot. I opted to sit in the bar and watch football, 49er's vs Sea Hawks. There was a group of men and two women there drinking and a collaborating about something, maybe fantasy football, IDK. They were a bit spicy but the bar wait staff handled it; they are on top of it which I appreciate. I was greeted immediately by a hostess offered dining room or bar seating; I chose a pub table in the car. The bar staff were very friendly and welcoming, attentive and represented the restaurant bar professionally. Big plus! I had hot, fresh baked bread served with garlic butter, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Delish! My main course was Beef Stroganoff, also excellent. Diet Pepsi was my beverage; bar staff kept my glass full and checked on me regularly. It was an excellent meal: hot, fresh and flavorful, huge portion with leftovers for lunch tomorrow. The meat beef was amazing. If you want soup or salad it's extra as was the bread. The meal plus a good tip seemed pricy especially for one person. But the cost of everything has gone up and I haven't been out for fine dining in sometime. I like to treat myself well, and this dinner was delicious and exactly what I needed. Big kudos, again, for customer service from Tahnee (sp?) and Melissa. read more

Husband brought us here to celebrate my birthday. The have the bar area in front with the dining room area in the back with cozy booths with a nice ambiance. We had the farmer's special with polenta, the prime rib, pappardelle pasta, the fried calamari, and vegetable side. It was our first time here, and everything was amazing! Polenta was super creamy and well balanced with the meat. Husband loved the prime rib and horseradish. We both agreed though our favorite dish was the pasta! Great service too! JJ was our server, and the manager, Chris as well checked in on every table to make sure everyone was having a good experience. When Chris heard it was my birthday, he also had a cheesecake included on the house too. We'll definitely plan to come back again in the near future! read more

Wow. We drove from 35 minutes away to try a new place and we were blown away. The food is impeccable. Our party of 6 has the pesto pasta, the short ribs with polenta, prime rib, and appetizers. We also ordered sides of mashed potatoes (eh) and pesto pasta (AMAZING). The portions were generous and every one of us had to get a to-go box. We were stuffed but equally happy that we ordered dessert anyway. The bread pudding was our favorite but the apple crisp was also stellar. Kind of a steakhouse vibe but also casual dining. We enjoyed the ambiance and service. The manager Chris came around and checked on us in addition to our server. We will be telling friends about this find and we will be back! read more

Came here tonight for a Friendsmas Gathering for 6. They sat us in the front for the main dining space was reserved for a private party. We actually really loved where we were seated - by the decorated window, Christmas tree and had a spacious table and comfortable chairs. We ordered a the Calamari, Fried Zucchini, Meatballs, House Salad, Seafood Pasta, Loaf of bread with the trimmings. We ordered the lemon drop, some blood orange drink, and beer. Everything was on point :) we really enjoyed the Pesto Seafood Pasta and will highly recommend this dish. The sauce was perfection. Desserts were also yummy. We had the tiramisu and some kind of pie that was just heavenly Service was excellent and our was host - Lane (excuse the spelling) . She was attentive, kind and super sweet. She checked on us often but also allowed us space to do our mini table games and gift exchange. Thank you so much Brickhouse Staff for having us. Will definitely come again! read more

Friday June 12th my nephew choose this place to celebrate his Mom birthday. The atmosphere was nice. The food was good ordered beef stroganoff, seasonal risotto, the parm, pesto seafood and lamb chops. The service mediocre after we had our appetizers no dishes wasn't removed when our main food came out still no appetizers dishes weren't removed, the server might of had a bad day because the table behind us was complaining as well. I think it was over maybe 45 mins before we got our food so no pics of main dishes we were hungry. read more

My husband and I decided to come to Brick House for happy hour and I was super pleased with our appetizers and wine. We had the Pancetta Fries with Gorgonzola cheese which were amazingly delicious. The serving was huge! The potatoes had a nice crispness and they were oh so cheesy! Very rich and filling. Since we are cheese people, we also ordered the burrata bowl which was also very good. The burrata cheese melted in your mouth! It included grape tomatoes halved with Kalamata olives and capers so it had a nice brininess but was balanced with some balsamic glaze. Paired with toasted bread it came with, reminded me of a bruschetta dish. This all paired nicely with a glass of Sangiovese wine. The bartenders were all very friendly and I loved the feel of the bar. It was nice to have choices of high bar tables or the bar. Lots of locals in here so you know it's a good place! read more

Our first time at Brick House and definitely not our last! The manager, Mr. Chris Martin, was so kind and incredibly helpful -- you can tell he truly cares about his guests. The entire staff went above and beyond to stop by and say hello and make us feel welcomed, which really made the experience special. We also really enjoyed the girls' $29 dinner -- the portion was perfect, the price was right, and honestly, it was too good to pass up. Great service, great value, and such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back! read more

Had a wonderful dinner with friends here for Friendsmas. Restaurant was beautifully decorated. We were seated right next to the festive Christmas tree. We ordered the fried calamari & zucchini, braised meatballs, house salad, & pesto seafood pasta. All were so delicious but my absolute favorite is the pesto seafood pasta & the garlic butter. The pesto sauce was so creamy & the shrimp, calamari & salmon were perfect and so flavorful. For dessert, we ordered the Apple crisp & tiramisu. Loved both equally. Definitely a must try. Staff were amazing. The blood orange cucumber cooler cocktail was the best drink! I had a great time and will definitely be back soon again. read more

We absolutely love coming to Brick House! We come here all the time, especially for the fried zucchini, it's one of our favorites! What makes our visits even better is the amazing service from Chris, the manager, and his great team of servers. They always make us feel welcomed and appreciated. We've even gotten into the habit of sitting in the same seats every time we come in, it feels like our own little spot! The food, the atmosphere, and especially the wonderful service keep us coming back. Chris and his team do an amazing job making every visit enjoyable. If you haven't been to Brick House, you're definitely missing out! Thank you, Chris, and the whole team, for always taking such great care of us! We'll definitely be back for more fried zucchini! Love, Kelvin & Erika read more

They had a lot of good options on the menu, we came with a party of 5 and everyone found something that they enjoyed.

Had the meatballs, fried zucchini and house salad during happy hour. Delicious and always consistent. The only thing I don't like is that you don't get a bill so you can't see your charges. The server comes to you with a small card reader and you pay that way. I would prefer to see the bill to verify what's on it and charges. read more

I can't believe this is our first time here. Definitely not our last. We ordered: Bread- we scarfed this down like nobody's business. It comes with balsamic vinegar/olive oil and garlic butter. We had a heavy debate on ordering a 2nd. Kids fettuccini alfredo and kids spaghetti with meat sauce- very solid. Doesn't taste generic like other restaurants kids meals. Kids chicken strips with fries- these chicken strips are made with actual chicken! Not pink goo. My son said it's the best chicken nuggets he's ever had. Linguine with clams- I'm blown away. So flavorful with real clams. I haven't had pasta this good in a long time. Short ribs over polenta- the portion was ridiculous! Sooooo good and I'm glad I have leftovers for 2 additional meals. The short ribs were tender and flavorful. The polenta was smooth and cooked to perfection. Lavish lemon drop- strong and flavorful- loved that it wasn't overly sweet. It was perfect with notes of lavender. Chris, the manager, was absolutely amazing. Thank you for making our experience 100000x better. This restaurant really embodies the family friendly environment and we can't wait to come back. read more

The food was fresh and delicious. I would have preferred the filet mignon to be more rare, but I'm assuming the kitchen just makes it a certain way, because the bartender didn't ask how I wanted it cooked when I ordered. The calamari was crunchy and on point. Monterey calamari was a special treat. The bartender was attentive, and informed me on the happy hour deals. The building is beautiful. Looks like a historic brick structure, and the wall art and decor was nice. It was clean, but I was not there while it was packed. read more

Very nice restaruant. The bar area was super crowded and very loud, but there is pretty good space between it and the back dining area, so you can hear the noise of the bar, but it isn't overwhelming or distracting. The food here is fantastic. We ordered the spicy seafood pesto pasta, the lambchops with fettucini alfredo, and a baked potato. Everything was cooked perfectly and was delicious. My favorite was the lambchops they were as easy to slice through as room temperature butter and the sauce they came with was incredible. read more

This place is such a gem. They have been open 20 years and what an amazing staff they have. We went there last night for the first time and we loved every minute of it. The pictures will not be great because I took them 1/2 way through eating. The food: Gnocchi- top notch! Homemade and amazing! Dip sandwhich/ full of meat and on the garlic bread what a great touch! Beef stroganoff what a filling meal. Pesto shrimp was fabulous and it was a huge portion. The tomatoes were great. We had meatballs and fried zucchini. We loved both . Dessert: tiramisu and bread budding both there amazing. The ambiance was nice and quiet with noise in the front. It was fun to find out they do music bingo on Tuesdays from 6:30-8:30pm We ended up playing the last two rounds. Now the people the general manager was amazing. You could tell he loves his job. It is always nice to see a manager who is up and involved and not stuck in an offices Our server Nga was amazing. We will be back! read more

Our #1 choice restaurant in Elk Grove. Everything on the menu here is always just excellent. The servers are even better than the great food. Not often when there's both to be enjoyed at the same restaurant. The owner is one of kindest guy you will ever meet. Every time we have had dinner there. He always walks up to check on things. Where do these types of restaurants even exist these days ? The ambiance is beautiful and interesting to be around. Giant size wood beams, interesting giant sized photos from places in Europe that feel warm and inviting. read more

Received a message from the owner explaining that they dont serve pasta with the chicken parm because they want customers to have a more customizable experience by ordering the pasta separately....seemed more like an excuse for a quick cash grab to me... "Here's a chicken parm at our Italian restaurant...pasta sold separately". Make it make sense. My review remains unchanged. Still a 3-star experience for me. Really should reconsider the whole "customizable experience" thing. I would reckon that folks mostly come to Italian restaurants for pastas and pizzas. read more

My husband and I went here for a date during the day. We ordered a few small plates because we wanted to try a few different items on the menu: burrata bowl, sita (filet mignon beef skewers), Caesar salad, and meat ravioli. Everything was delicious! Flavorful, without being overly salty. We can tell that the food was prepared with care, prepared by a true chef. The restaurant itself is pretty and unique looking. It's like dining in a really nice Italian home. The waiter was very polite, quick, and attentive (but not overly so). We will be going here again, the next time we are in town read more

The service wasn't just slow. It was a complete failure at nearly every step. We ordered three waters. Two showed up. Our server couldn't even scrounge up enough straws for the table, which turned out to be a preview of things to come. Then he vanished for ten minutes before taking our order. We asked for bread as an appetizer and explicitly requested it before our entrées. It never came. Not before the entrées. Not with the entrées. Not at all, while tables seated after us watched their food arrive without issue. Our server disappeared for stretches so long we started to wonder if he still worked there. No check-ins. No water refills. Nothing. When he finally resurfaced, the entire table was past the point of caring. We had to flag him down just to pay and leave, and even that didn't work. It took a different server, who could plainly see we'd been abandoned, to come take our bill. She showed more attentiveness in two minutes than our own server managed all night. $130+ for three people to be ignored. In this economy, at these prices, a restaurant has to earn every dollar, and Brickhouse couldn't be bothered to try. Years of loyalty, gone in one dinner. We will not be back, and I'd tell anyone considering it to spend their money somewhere that actually wants it. read more

Brick House is as solid a restaurant as a literal brick house. We've been coming here for a few years, and love their Lodi location, as well. The manager, Chris, is a great guy with an easygoing demeanor. He really knows how to keep customers happy, and he's a happy person himself, which makes the place feel even more relaxed and special, especially for families. We are a family of four, and when this place isn't packed (it often is, especially Fridays and Saturdays) we are able to get a table (reservations recommended for weekends) and enjoy the food and the experience. Top notch. read more
