I won't go back for breakfast . Whole staff sitting around and no coffee for fifteen minutes. Still waiting . They have girls that give out water at breakfast and don't touch the coffee pot. Time to train the staff. read more

Great breakfast and brunch. I ordered the eggs Benedict and it was as delicious as one of my old time brunch place 3 squares. Waitress was very nice and food was served nice and hot. Will recommended it. read more

The service is always great! Delicious comfort food. Love the arrancini and the meatball with side of eggplant parm. The bread pudding flavor changes every week and it is always AMAZING! read more

The good: main course (Vinny's Homemade Rigatoni Bolognese) was delicious. Decent portion and well done. Good draft/bar selection and the decor was great. Felt at home with a great casual vibe. The bad: got charged for a salad I didn't order. The salad came out early and I assumed it was with the main course (after all it was top billing and the most expensive pasta dish on the menu.... least you could do was throw on a house salad). Salad wasn't bad but it was a solid 5/10..... nowhere amazing enough to be worth $10 especially when I never asked for it! Food is good but I feel it's overpriced... especially for something classified as two dollar signs on yelp. Bar items were priced fine... but I feel the salads are over the top. Casual Dinner for two (one salad w/chicken for my wife and a pasta special for me..... plus the salad I didn't order) with one beer ran $70 with tip and although the food/service was great it was no place near the quality/quantity/experience you'd expect for that kind of money. Decent eats but beware.... read more

The perfect neighborhood bar and restaurant. There's a reason it's packed all the time. Great food with good portions and prices. Friendly staff that knows the regulars, food that comes out fast and a plenty of seating. Food and cocktails are always on point and they have a great brunch to boot. If you come during peak times you may have a bit of a wait. But it's worth it. Grab a cocktail while you wait. read more

I'm surprised by the positive reviews as the pizza from Brickhouse Cafe is some of the worst that I've had in ages. After living in NYC for many years I understand that I may have become a bit of a pizza snob but I really tried to give the pies a chance. The dough appeared to be have been previously frozen and had a cracker like texture. The "cheese" tasted like fake cheese from slice joints and was not "Buffalo Mozzarella" as advertised. The basil was piled up on individual slices in little bunches and the sauce was unremarkable. It cost $40 for 3 nearly inedible pizzas. I got take out to bring to visit family members and had to apologize for bringing such awful food. I'm very disappointed in the craftsmanship and quality of the so-called "Neapolitan" pies and won't be back. read more

I'm not huge fan of Breakfast but I recently went the Brickhouse for Sunday brunch and both the breakfast and the service were both outstanding! I followed it with some take- out a few nights later and dinner was fantastic too. If you want great food and service be sure to add the Brickhouse to your list. read more

One of my favorite places to go for Italian. If you to dinner here on weekend I would suggest to go early. Half of the restaurant is a bar and the other side is a sit down. It is very small so if you have a large party ( more than 8) it will feel really crammed. Buttt the food and drinks are definitely worth it! All of the times I've been here the staff has been very friendly and helpful explaining the menu if needed. I really love coming here! read more

Love the look of the place. Decent breakfast here, good portion size Restaurant has a big bar in the middle with boxing memorabilia everywhere. Went on Saturday morning I was surprised there weren't more people inside but all the better for us. All that's left of the Heavy weight and the Veggie Omelet! Will be back for dinner and a drink. read more

Popped in this past Sunday while waiting on an oil change at the dealership. Overall, a solid place in the area for brunch. I tried their eggs florentine benedict and my daughter had chocolate chip pancakes. Both were prepared well and the pancakes were very good. My only wish was that they offer other variations like the crab cake or lobster eggs benedict. Service was nice albeit a little slow. read more

The owner was so friendly and always comes up and asks how everything is and tells you how it's all his recipes and everything is so good on the menu. I am super picky about my red sauce and this sauce is so good, the bolognese is out of this world, and love the apps! Can't get enough of this place! read more

Best homemade pasta and vodka sauce outside of Boston. Very warm and welcoming owner and environment; will be a staple for us!! Giant portions, excellent bartenders - can't go wrong at BH! read more

Love the food! Everything is always perfect! But whenever we go, we are reminded that we are allowed 1.5 hours to have dinner and then leave. Every single time we've eaten there, every hostess has reminded us there is a limit to how long we have to eat.. this has to be the worst guest treatment I've ever experienced. Rude rude rude!!!! But I always completely ignore this crap and take as long as we need to enjoy our dinner. The reason we rarely eat at the Brickhouse. The owner should be ashamed! read more

Small tavern style cafe for breakfast or lunch. Good selection of egg dishes and pizzas. Seating is limited and parking is easy. Wait staff is very friendly. read more

I had swordfish in a unique way at Brickhouse. It was called a Swordfish Chop. Unlike a traditional swordfish steak, the chop was bone in. I'm not sure what part of the fish the bone was associate with, but I assumed it was part of the jaw. Regardless, it was very tasty and cooked very well. I was told that this dish was not served very frequently at the restaurant. With a side of fresh asparagus and creamy risotto, it was a very enjoyable dish. Service was great and attentive. The owner is a former boxer and the decor is a boxing theme. Fear not non boxing fans, it is not overwhelming. Typically there is a local team sports event on the TVs at the bar. Brickhouse is a good choice if you are in the mood for traditional American or Italian food including pasta, chicken, steak and seafood dishes. Something for everyone. read more

It was just okay. Bread & oil were tasty. Had the chicken marsala, portion was huge, sauce was a bit too thick but it was good. Chicken Parm was good but homemade pasta was very mushy, either overcooked or not the right kind of flour. It was very busy and loud, service was very slow. read more

Had breakfast there yesterday. Had no reservation, little time and a baby + 4 adults. The manager was treating us super nice and polite and managed to get us a table. Delicious food and good coffee. Thank you! read more

The vodka sauce is to die for. One takeout order would easily serve two people. Decent bolognese as well. The grill combo is pretty good too. read more

We've been going to the Brickhouse Cafe lately as our regular "grab a bite to eat" place. It seems we can always get a couple of seats at the bar with a minimal wait. The food is consistently good and the drinks are generous all around. The pizza is cracker thin but a little under seasoned. Pizza is such a personal thing, some love it and some don't. Pasta is great and the ribs are excellent. Prices are fair and the service is always good. Great bartenders! read more

Wow! I love this place! The food was absolutely delicious and the vibe was so cool! Totally recommend! Absolutely loved our experience!

Came for breakfast and was so surprised on how cozy it feels. Friendly staff all around, and the best breakfast potato's I've ever had!

I came here for brunch a couple weeks ago and I would totally come back! Their food was solid and I enjoyed it. There isn't anything crazy special about the menu but if you're looking for traditional, American brunch food, then I would recommend coming here. The person I came with and I got the heavyweight, which comes with "choice of 2 pancakes or 4 french toast, 3 eggs, 3 strips of bacon, 3 sausages, ham & home fries" (we got french toast), this jalapeño burger, corned beef hash, two rounds of mimosas, and coffee of course. We shared the food and the heavyweight was pretty good. The home fries were a bit dry but the rest of the food was fine. The two standout items we ordered were the corned beef hash and the jalapeño burger. The corned beef hash was simply amazing and we actually ended up ordering another serving. If I had to come back to this restaurant for only one thing, it would be the corned beef hash. And the jalapeño burger, which had a longer name to it but I don't remember what it was called and it's not on the online menu. It was a brunch special so that's probably why. We ordered it medium rare and the meat was really tasty. The bun was a bit weird but the meat made up for it. The fries that it came with it were dry like the home fries so we didn't end up eating much of those. I would definitely order the burger again. Mimosas were standard, $10 each so not badly priced. Another plus about this spot is that the food is cheap. I don't remember the exact prices but you really get a bang for your buck here. Service was good. The restaurant wasn't too busy when we got there so we were seated immediately. Our waitress was friendly and attentive but not too overbearing. All in all, I would return here! read more

This place served a great breakfast. My first visit was forgettable service wise, but the breakfast was SO good that I had to return. Service was much better. read more

I love this place. It's sometimes hard to get a reservation, but that's to be expected when it's awesome food and a nice place to eat. I go about once a month and I've never had a bad mean or bad service. Everyone there are real chill and make you feel good. Awesome place to check out if you're in the area read more

Great Italian food..it reminds me of the great quality food you will get at Lascala's in Randolph Mass..basically it taste like you in the north end read more

We love the Brickhouse! Our waitress Lori was excellent as usual. The food was delicious - we had the ribs (huge) and a pizza. Lots of food and all very good. read more

Really good spot for a good meal but it gets super busy. The menu was extremely standard fare but they do a great job with their offerings. It does get really busy but the atmosphere is fun and friendly, and I've never had a bad meal here. read more

1st time here and it was a good experience. We were seated right away in a comfortable spot despite the place being so small. Our waitress Allyson was so nice and attentive. She had us try some rice balls (they look like meatballs) which were stuffed deliciously. Our entrees were very filling and the bread with oil was very good as well. I have to say the menu is a bit pricey but quality is worth it. Will deff go back ! read more

Doesn't seem like anything special from the outside, but this place is amazing. Awesome Italian selection and my favorite thing to treat myself to is the Rigatoni Ala Vodka. Awesome atmosphere that is cozy and very busty on the weekends, but very fun. This place is definitely worth a try. read more

Came for a late dinner (9:00pm) on a Friday night, we made a reservation so they were able to seat us right away. Our table was very small but the place was crowded so we didn't mind. We started with the margarita pizza - it was good but somewhat bland. For our main dishes we got the chicken parm and the chicken piccata - these were great! Unfortunately our waitress wasn't very attentive and we waited well over 15 minutes for her to pick up our card to pay the check. I've had brunch here in the past and it was great! Place is small so I suggest making reservations and letting them know your seating preferences. read more

Their Greek Salad (only on special) is to die for. We grab it as a take out and it's a meal for the 2 us

Amazing local Italian! Been here twice so far and both times the server was excellent with our 1.5 year old. Service was so quick and the food was incredible. We can't wait to go back! read more

Best Italian food around, the pasta with vodka sauce & chicken marsala, are my faves, and the meatballs are almost as good as my Nana's :)

We had a great time here, thanks to owner Vinny and waitperson Jocelyn. The food was copious, very large appetizers and none of us finished our entrees. We get to enjoy them again as leftovers! The meatballs are large, like I make for myself at home. The garlic bread was amazing and also huge. A great, casual atmosphere, we will return! read more

The food was amazing and our waitress Delia was absolutely awesome! The meals were delicious and filling. The atmosphere is great and the owner came around talking to all the customers. Can't give a good enough review! Perfect! read more

Must have come here on the wrong night! I ate possibly the worst pasta dish I've had in my life. The homemade pasta was super tough (not "al dente", more like wheat jerky), and the sauce tasted like a 50:50 mix of chicken stock and dirty dishwater. My wife's wasn't much better. Chicken parm was like rubber! Either I have totally different taste buds than everybody else who likes the food here, or there was a mutiny in the kitchen that night. read more

I really did not enjoy the food here. The prices were a bit more than I was anticipating so I ordered the Margherita pizza. It was pretty disappointing; something was off with the sauce and the crust, and I ended up just chucking my leftovers. (I should add that I'm a college student, and until then I had thought my love of pizza was bottomless!) My dining companion liked her pasta dish, but it was swimming in a pool of oil (perhaps that is a style?). The restaurant itself is pretty cute. The bar area especially seemed like a nice place to enjoy a wine or beer without all the crowded din of a bigger bar. read more

Great brunch! One of the best homemade corned beef hash ever. Eggs bene cooked perfectly read more

I love the food at the Brick House but I wasn't too thrilled tonight when I called from the road and made a reservation and when he said how many I said two adults and a baby. When we arrived there were two high chairs in the middle of the floor and so when we were seated I asked if we could have a high chair. She stated that a party who called and reserved days ago had two kids and they only have two high chairs. This was never mentioned to me over the phone. I have a very wirey 9 month old so I asked what I was supposed to do. It was 4:30. I asked when the other party was coming and she said 5. I said can I use it at least till they arrive? She said she didn't think that would be a good idea. You know what would have been a good idea? Telling me all of this when I called on the phone and mentioned that I had a baby. I also think it is time for them to order a few more high chairs. Honestly who only has two? I was extremely dissapointed. It will be a long time before I go back. Anyone with kids I guess reserve the highchair if you go here or you may have to turn right back around like I did. read more

Although I've been here several times before, this is my first review of this restaurant. We have always enjoyed eating here and usually go with a couple of friends. The food is usually a 3 1/2 to 4 star rating which is more than passable for the price point here. The service is about the same. The problem I have that should be shared happened during the meal we had tonight. We called for a 5:00 PM reservation earlier in the day for 4 adults and 1 small child. When my wife and I sat down prior to our friends getting there we were informed that We would need to vacate the table by 6:30 due to another party needing that table. Our friends showed up a few minutes later and we ordered apps to get things rolling while they checked out which entrees to get. When our waitress came back to take entree orders she re-informed us that we would need to be done soon. She then asked if we thought that we were not going to be through and gone by 6:30 that she'd like us to move to a bar table. So we moved. It took us 2 hours to finish our appetizers, entrees and desserts. We wouldn't have made the 6:30 deadline. Other than one of the high chairs being a stool (which we swapped out ourselves) it was fine to sit there. It just strikes me as being very unprofessional on the front of the house management to try and squeeze a table in so soon after us or so soon before the 6:30. It puts the server at a disadvantage from the start. I was in the reataurant industry for 10 + years and never heard of anything like that. I'm not sure I will give them any more of my business. I'd probably feel different if the manager apologized or explained their position but this didn't occur. read more
