A modern sports pub that is part of the Landry's Restaurant Group . Huge selection of beers and cocktails served with an inventive menu of tavern food. My only complaint is they do not list any prices on the cocktail or specials menu so just ask your server. We were immediately greeted by the hostess when we arrived and were offered a few different seating options. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We chose a large open booth near the fireplace. Very comfortable[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Our server Heather was outstanding! She answered any questions we had and did not rush us at all. My wife was happy because they have a Gluten Free menu. We started with drinks and their Deviled Eggs appetizer. It normally comes fried but we couldn't due to the gluten. A generous portion of egg whites,candied bacon,jalapendo and paprika. Very flavorful. My wife had the Thai Chicken Salad which was fresh and just the right size with a good amount of chicken. The server suggested the dressing on the side which was a good call. I tried one of their burger specials..The Cowboy Burger which was 2 patties topped with fried onions,bbq sauce and was supposed to have jalapeno sausage but came with extra brisket instead. Either one would have been good. The burgers are huge and came with either fries or tots. I'm glad it tasted so good because I never asked the price when I ordered it and found out it cost me 24.00 which is a little high for a burger but again,the quality was fantastic. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor represents a hi end sports bar with many TV's throughout and they turn off the sound and play music which is nice so you can have a conversation with your dinner companion.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely recommend The Brick House and I will be back. read more

We came on a Tuesday night and didn't have trouble finding a seat. They have a ton of space for large groups and parties. They have a full bar to sit at too!! Service was very attentive. They were great about refilling drinks and taking orders. Overall, we wouldn't rant and rave about the food but it was pretty decent bar food! We would definitely come back with friends for drinks. It was a fun, young party environment. I could also see it being popular for work groups! There is a "man cave" event space in back for those who want to host parties. read more

Unfortunately this location is closing on Monday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great service, good food and great place to watch the game![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The burgers are the go to and very good, order the triple burger, smash burger style! I ordered the Chicken and Waffles and it came on a serving plate! They don't skimp on proportions here. We had carrot cake for dessert and it's outstanding! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Private parking lot, great atmosphere and good food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's unfortunate this place is closing! The waitresses are great here. read more

Was here for a bday get together on a Saturday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Pretty large restaurant/bar with a nice menu of food and cocktails.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're looking to have a nice size gathering where there are drinks, food and TVs, this is your place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ordered the Knockoit shrimp and they were good. Also ordered a Sangria and it was good as well. Prices were fair and comparable to other restaurant/bars. It started to pick up because of the NCAA games that were on so service was a bit slow hence the reason for the star reduction. read more

Brick House Tavern + Tap - Sangrias and a casamigo shot - American Near Me - Downers Grove, Illinois

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a really cozy well managed tavern.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server Heather was excellent. She made good suggestions and didn't rush us. Everything came out in a timely manner and was flavorful. I appreciated the gluten friendly menu which is one of the reasons we chose this restaurant. The only small pet-peeve is that there are no prices on the drinks or specials menu. We were kind of surprised at the $24 price of the "special" burger so it is a good thing it was so good. read more

This place has gone down hill in recent years. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The seating is very uncomfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service on the Friday evening we went was very poor...the server had little knowledge of the menu and we felt rushed in ordering and throughout our meal. The pork chops were good but the salmon was dry and fishy tasting. They do not offer a single hamburger but will be happy to serve you one patty at the price of two! Bar service was limited and while their specialty is beer the rest of the bar menu definitely was lacking. I have given this restaurant two chances over this past year and I would not return. read more

Great place with great food. The service was great and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant had a lot of booths which were very big.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The portions are huge as you can see so you get a lot of food for the money. The limited time Turkey Reuben was Awesome and I loved the fact it didn't have sauerkraut as that is what I don't like. They had a sweet coleslaw instead which made the sandwich phenomenal. Strongly recommend! read more

My family comes here once a year right before we do the Illumination lights, and we come in hot with a group of around 20 because we keep growing every year! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance and Service is fantastic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wide open open space with many seating options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's more of a dining room sitting area when you first walk in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Have couches/ tables behind the fireplace, which are a nice relaxing spit to have a beer, some appetizers, and watch the games on all the flat screens on the wall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also have a bar area to sit in, and a back room used more for big parties.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Honestly, the place is a great spot for all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only thing holding them back is the food. If they can bring the flavors up a bit , it would be a 5 star all around. The top 3 things that my family always get are the Chicken Pot pie, the huge pretzel, and the philly. read more

came here for lunch. your standard upscale bar food brew house chain. Waitstaff was good. Food was good. vibe was what you would picture in your mind. This is one of those reliable chain spots that you can go to for a business lunch or a beer with friends, but is also one of those places that won't wow you with anything in particular. Ill happily come back as everything was as expected, and what I expected is the kind of food and beer they have available! read more

Food and drinks are great but something changed. It's like the portion sizes got smaller and they took quite a bit off the menu that made their place so great. Not sure if I would be back. read more

Came in on a Saturday for an early dinner with a group of 17 people. Half the table waited 15 after the first half as served. The waiters keep coming around with other orders that did not belong to us and just kind of wandered around to find who they belonged to or Just took them back to the kitchen. The waiters worked hard but there was a miss connect with the kitchen. Dinner took 3 hours. read more

Brick House is the best. The food is fantastic and reasonably priced. The wait staff is excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The seating area is large and nicely spaced out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Every time we come I have to decide between several favorites. Today Essie stoped by to chat. He is a wonderful guy and really does a fantastic job managing the place. Kudos! read more

What a fun lunch at Brick House! While I've never dined in before I was treated to a fun and quite enjoyable experience! The vibe here is boozy times with friends. Their booths are spacious and there are many. There is a roaring fire that still maintains a hint of intimacy in this establishment. My server was Joseph and he was very sweet. Since I dined alone he was sure to give me space, but at the same time willing to accommodate my requests. I started with the Giant Pretzel, and giant it was! This pretzel could easily have fed a family of 4 all in itself. At $11 it makes for a very reasonable priced appetizer. The accompaniments were White Queso and Siracha Ranch which both were delicious with the salty, warm pretzel. I had to stop myself from finishing the whole thing in one sitting! My main entree included the Beyond Burger. I appreciate the toppings on this mammoth burger as it includes cheese, grilled peppers, grilled onions, chipotle aioli, pickles, lettuce, and tomato. The patty was very thick, making it worth its' $18 price tag. It also came with the options of fries or tots. I went with the tots which arrived fresh. While the burger wasn't my favorite, I would return for the pretzel and ambiance alone. I would like to try their other appetizers or another vegetarian option. However, I believe the Beyond is the only vegetarian option. Would love to hang here on a date night or with friends, as this place is pretty cool. I will return. read more

Ordered the Cuban sandwich with fries. The picture in the menu looked a lot better than what served. What a sad presentation when my food arrived, and to top it off, the food was cold.

Brick House Tavern + Tap - Cuban sandwich and fries - American Near Me - Downers Grove, Illinois

This huge tavern had a roaring warm fireplace and brick appointments and lots of tvs. The restaurant was clean with friendly staff. I was with a group of 16 and we didn't have to wait long. The staff pushed some tables together and we were seated. I noticed my group enjoyed the beer. One person ordered a huge pretzel which was good for photos. I ordered a savory chicken pot pie which was delicious with rosemary in an iron clad pan. I couldn't finish it because there was so much food. I got a styrofoam container. The staff didn't wear masks. I hope that the restaurant considers more environmental containers and serving filtered water. read more

First time here, interesting layout. Food was great, service was very sub-par. Our water filled once, our server never came around to grab our dirty plates after our apps. Just sat at edge of table entire time. Honestly, place wasn't that busy. Our server was very dull, never introduced herself. Just not friendly. I also left my hat in our booth. Called immediatley when I arrived home. Manager explained nobody turned anything in. I called the following day and same Manager said nothing was turned in. (I get it, I lost it) however, I asked if they could see the camera..I had the receipt for our table location and time we left so it would be easily accesible to view. The Manager related that their systems were down and didn't have access to cameras. Find it hard to believe/very concerning their cameras don't work. Either way, lost a nice hat here and definitley not getting it back. read more

Service and food were ok. But I thought the food was overpriced. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of open tables on a July 4th evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Flatbread was black on the bottom. Bread in club sandwich was not toasted. Server took FOREVER to return to order another drink... also to bring the drinks after ordering, despite only about 10 patrons in the entire restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is fantastic and so are the mozzarella bricks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, weighing out pros and cons, I will not be back. read more

Love coming here! Have been quite a few times over the years. Everytime we come here service is amazing. Most recently my bf & I sat at the bar & the last two times our bartenders were phenomenal.....***Dominique & Dani*** (spelling)! They rock. Very attentive. Friendly, energetic. And can I just comment on their nachos. So so good! Love that they have a fireplace. Great atmosphere for the winter months. Also great place to come for events. Not to mention have enjoyed coming over the years in the summer and sitting on their patio. Huge fan! Highly recommend! read more

horrible service. had a big group , but came early to beat the rush, yet lots of tables turned over before we even got our food.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon with some friends and we were served pretty quickly even with them having a mini wedding party to handle and the place being about half capacity. We ordered some drinks where I got the bloody Mary and was drooling over the fact that it was about to be loaded with a deviled egg and some other great garnishes. When they came out, it was definitely garnished incorrectly. Our server, Karen was quick to remedy it by bringing out the deviled eggs but they ran out of stock of the rest of the garnish. That was quite depressing since it was a Saturday and I figured they'd stock up for the weekend. Either way, the bloody was just what I was looking for during that time so that in combination with the deviled egg left me satisfied. Time for the food. I ended up splitting the fried zucchini ribbons, Buffalo meatballs, and the chicken pot pie with one of my friends. All 3 of the dishes were fantastic. I've never seen zucchini ribbons but they were a fantastic touch to have enough breading and crispness. Oh did I mention that the plate of ribbons is massive for the price? We were nowhere near finishing them. By the end of the meal. I would definitely order that and one small thing for the table next time. The Buffalo meatballs were tender and loaded with Buffalo which is exactly how I like my Buffalo. Tender and saucy. Well done albeit in smaller proportion than the ribbons but still good. By the time the chicken Pot pie came out, I was pretty much stuffed from the ribbons. Still I had to try the pot pie because it looked absolutely delicious and the crust looked perfect. Like I thought, the crust when I dug into was heavenly. Crispy, flaky, and was a beautiful mix of pot pie to amazing crust. I was absolutely stuffed after a couple bites so I had to take it home to eat later. As expected it's hard for the crust to hold up after reheating but I expected as much. The pot pie was still delicious after the fact though which was nice. Other than the small hiccups with our drinks and possibly waiting too long to collect our payment from the table (I'm talking like 30 minutes), this was a pretty solid place that I would come back to try some of the other dishes too. read more

We were in the area and I am Landry's Select Club member so we stopped in for Saturday lunch. Its very spacious, well decorated, and the fireplace is a nice touch. Our server was great, our drinks came out fast. They have a pretty decent specialty drink menu and we had a couple fun drunks. We ordered the wild mushroom flatbread, - which was really flavorful and the crust was excellent. We had the pretzel and dipping sauces and the spicy shrimp. The portion sizes were large and we split all these items between two of us and still took some home. We will definably be back on another trip! read more

Great tasting items and entrées. I've had their burgers, sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. Everything is GREAT! Excellent service at the bar and clean restrooms. read more

We had a pleasant experience. Our server was nice and was great with our daughter. The place was pretty empty for a Monday evening.

They also provided a small birthday dessert on the house. read more

I had a burger here and it was very mediocre to me. Perfectly formed patties remind me of frozen patties and are just a no no for me. I didn't like the consistency or texture if the burger and didn't think the meat had much flavor. The deviled eggs were ok but not something I would order again. Huge space with tons of televisions. Great place to drink, watch sports, and fill your stomach with any food. read more

Great American restaurant! Will definitely be back! PROS: -Fun decor and atmosphere. -Huge space. Safely spread out for Covid purposes. -Hefty portions. -Delicious food! My husband said that their Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich is the best that he has ever had anywhere, which is saying something since he lived in PA for a couple of years. Loved my order of Fish & Chips also. I preferred his tater tots to my fries, so might switch that next time. -Friendly wait staff. -Great Happy Hour Menu! We plan to try it out sometime. CONS: -Healthier seafood options are pretty pricey. -Not many healthy options in general, but that's expected with a tavern style restaurant. read more

We received a gift card for Christmas and decided to give the Brick House a try on a Friday evening. I even made reservations for 8PM. We arrived a few minutes late and were surprised to see so few people dining. The bar area was fairly full, but the restaurant only had diners at maybe a dozen booths and the tables were all empty. No one was waiting for new guests but after a minute we were greated and seated in a pleasant spot adjacent to the fireplace. Shirley appeared promptly, introduced herself and offered menues. Shirley did a lovely job throughout our dining experience. She had a pleasant smile, took our orders and followed up to make sure all was well. Later offering desert. All in all, five stars for Shirley. We started with the Homerun appatizer with Classic meatballs, chicken tenders, white queso and chips, mozzarella bricks with spicy marinara. Um, the marinara wasn't spicy really but it was good. The queso was excelent. For my entre I had the THAI CHICKEN SALAD with dressing on the side. It sure was crunchy and fresh. I wanted something light and this fit the bill perfectly. Virgilio ordered the SEARED ATLANTIC SALMON with Jasmine rice & green beans. He said it was ok, the green beans were good. He finished all of it and didn't complain lol. All in all, a well deserved four star experience. read more

Normally I have have OK experience here but tonight Jennifer & Daniella was not for it Every Thursday a group of Ladies & Girls pick a place to dine and hang out. The last time they came a few weeks prior Joe gave such amazing service they had to come back. Today to food was Subpar , under seasoned and not Hot(temperature). The server Jennifer was so inattentive by the time she returned the food was sitting so long we just sucked it up a ate what we were going to. Drinks were good.. nothing special. This biggest issue came with bill payment, it was never expressed Split checks would be an issue. So trying to use the QR code on the receipt failed while the server was using the POS for the few cards. She took a card and their receipt only to charge a whole other seat at the POS. How ??? You have 1 bill and card in your hand. Paying became an issue all around d. When Daniella stepped in as the Bar Manager she just indicated charges were reversed and the lady can pay correctly again. The system just does that sometimes Overall the lack of hospitality was at an all time HIGH As much as I used to enjoy Brickhouse, the service has consistently declined over the years. And that sucks because he Wings with bricksauce were always good read more

Appetizer were delicious, mozz sticks, knock out shrimp, hot wings, dessert delicious. Amanda our server was courteous and attentive

I was able to get a seat at the bar and Dani (?) was a speedy and personable bartender and server. I went with the happy hour appetizer specials which are I'm assuming/hoping smaller portions of the menu appetizers. The c Spicy calamari was a good idea but the execution just wasn't there. Breading was a bit salty and too crunchy while the squid was a bit chewy. Not bad but not great The duck wings were super tasty. 3 for $8 but the flavor was fantastic and they were meatier than I expected. The pretzels were soft and tasty and came with queso and Sarah a Mayo for dipping. Pretty tasty Overall the food was decent but not special. Giving an extra star for the great service read more
