This place needs some serious help. Having been a manager at a steakhouse for 2 years and in the food service industry for 7 years, it takes a lot to get me to complain about a dining experience. This however deserves to be put on blast. We arrived on a Saturday night (party of 4). We had about a 25 minute wait which was no problem. We were sat and ordered our meals. That's when things got out of control. The food took FOREVER to arrive, and when it finally showed up, it was not complete, accurate, or hot. My chicken dish was served lukewarm with a side of cold, hard mac and cheese that looked like it had been sitting on a counter for a solid hour. Another guest in my group was served the same cold, hard mac and cheese. Another person in my group ordered an EXTRA WELL DONE burger and the burger was served RARE. A BURGER ... RARE! The 4th guest in our group did NOT EVEN RECEIVE HIS FOOD. We flagged down our waiter and explained all of the issues. He removed the raw burger to be re-fired, and removed the two mac and cheese dishes to bring back new ones. He also promised our 4th guest that his food would be right out since it still had not arrived. After another 10 minutes or so, the re-cooked burger is delivered back to the table (still no sign of the 4th person's food or the new mac and cheeses) - this time the burger is only cooked to medium. How hard is it to cook something extra well done? My friend even said they could burn the burger if necessary - he really emphasized he did not want any pink in the meat. Now the burger had been returned TWICE cooked incorrectly only to be shuttled away by the server to be recooked yet again. We asked to speak to a manager. When the manager JOEY (Joseph Hawk) arrived, we explained the situation - none of us had a complete meal - 2 of us didn't have a meal at all. He assured us he would figure out the problem and return. Another 20 minutes - one of my friends and I finished our meals, still without our mac and cheese side items and no sign of the other two dishes. I do have to throw in that my chicken dish tasted horrible on top of everything else. Do not get the Chicken Breast with sun-dried tomato pesto unless you like the taste of baby barf. Anyways, we finished our meals. Finally the 2 mac and cheese dishes arrived but as stated, we had already finished our meals. How does it take 20 min to make mac and cheese? The third guest's meal arrived as well at this time but STILL NO SIGN OF THE BURGER for our 4th friend. No sign of the manager either. My friend told the waiter that he no longer needed the burger, to just forget it. The waiter says "oh no oh no we will take care of it for you but I'm still going to bring the burger." The burger NEVER arrived. We asked to speak to the same manager that promised to take care of all the issues and had never returned, JOEY (JOSEPH HAWK). When he did return, I laid it all out on the table for him about how our meals were never completed, only 2 of us out of 4 got to eat, the 3rd meal had just arrived, the 4th never showed up at all, etc. and he just STOOD THERE with this horrible look on his face and a condescending tone, never once apologizing for the errors. I asked why he had not returned to our table and he said he was "in the kitchen." Hmmm, well don't you think you should be addressing the issues you promised to address, out on the floor doing your job? He looked at me as if he was disgusted with me and barely said anything. He removed the burger from our bill because it never showed up but then he tried to charge for the dish that arrived only moments before we were getting ready to leave. I insisted that be taken off the bill. The other two meals were given 50% off, but considering they were not complete meals and they tasted like crap, they should have been totally removed as well. We paid and left without so much as an apology from the Joey the manager. We left and grabbed fast food on the way home. I have NEVER experience such TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE and POOR MANAGEMENT. Please think twice about going here. I can safely say I will never return here based on principle. I believe this establishment should be embarrassed at themselves for how the situation was handled (or not handled), and Joey needs to get out of the customer service industry if he doesn't know how to do his job. read more

The food was great, but the costumer service was absolutely awful. A big let down on my date.

We went to Brickhouse tavern while visiting on a lacrosse tournament. Everyone there like their food, which is hard to achieve with a large group. They were accommodating especially since we just popped in with about 25 people. read more

This is a nice place for something different (from the chain restaurants) great food and people. Pizza is amazing. Great place for a dinner party....very accommodating. The staff is attentive and always around. Never run out of drinks. Ask the waiter what they order...but you can't go wrong with anything you order ! read more

I am going to give Brickhouse 4 stars, although in the past I would have said 5, and in the present I would say 3. Brickhouse used to have an AMAZING menu which all of the locals clearly loved and were fans of. As of a few months ago there were items removed from the menu and the entire style of the menu changed. I still enjoy brickhouse, but it does NOT have the same consistency that I used to find when we dined here. Also, I have hosted a bridal shower here and my husband and I hosted our engagement party here- both were GREAT events! Brickhouse did a great job of really letting the flow of the back room work for our events and provided great quotes and food for both. That said, both events were 2 years ago + and I have a feeling their party situation/menu has also changed! read more

My mother-in-law confirmed a reservation for 30 people at least 2 weeks ago to celebrate her mother's 85th birthday. She followed up 2 days ago and again this morning. She talked to Priscilla and Doug. This morning she was told they would have everything ready for us when we arrived at 1:30 so imagine our surprise when we showed up and not a thing was ready. Further, we were told we didn't have a reservation, there would be at least a 40 minute wait, and there was only 1 chef on duty. When we asked where was Priscilla, who had stated she would be on staff during our shift, we were told she went to the store. It took a while for a manager to come speak to us, at which time the guy who came out told my husband they have our reservation for tomorrow, but then contradicted himself and said we couldn't have scheduled a reservation because there's no way they could service a party of 30, basically calling us liars. When my husband asked for the phone number to the owner or corporate to make a complaint the guy said look it up online. This is the point at which we left. There is no way we would drag 30 people out and our 85 year old grandmother to a restaurant in the heat without a reservation. Terrible customer service. Instead we called Southside Market at the Arbor Walk and they reserved tables for us and took excellent care of our party. read more

My blue cheese burger had no taste and was raw in the middle. I'm in no hurry to go back anytime soon.

This location has great atmosphere and the wait staff was extremely courteous. If you go for lunch I'd highly recommend a cold tap beer and the naked fried chicken wings sauced with BBQ. They are absolutely phenomenal! read more

This place is nestled near downtown Davidson. It is a great spot for lunch, a ladies day out or a date. The 99 health inspection rating gives you a sense that the food can be trusted. The hospitality is warm and friendly. Our waitress was extraordinary and attentive. My order consisted of a chicken and spinach alfredo brick oven pizza with a side salad from the lunch specials. The sweet tea did not disappoint. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. It was fairly priced. The bathroom (women's) is large. It was neat and clean. I enjoyed my first experience. No doubt I will return and refer others who are looking for a new dining place tucked away from the main thoroughfares of Charlotte. read more

This place is awful for one reason. The service. We arrive at 10:30 pm on a Tuesday. I asked to order a drink when the waitress first arrived and she rudely told me to wait till everyone at my table puts in an order. I ignored her rude comment and went to the bar to order my beer since I was only drinking. I order my beer at the bar and the bartender assumes her tip. I was upset but didn't say anything because she took the tip I was going to give her. I return to my table to find the out that the other guests were just unjustifiably interrogated by the waitress for my actions. The waitress then took our tables order. When she arrive she spilled beer on the phone and wallet of a person in my party. Next she rudely commented about a question another person had about chicken wings. He asked about the hot sauce selection and the waitress sassed him and switched the subject to dipping sauces. She was a bitch. I went to use the restroom and overheard her complaining about our table to another employee. She then exclaimed how much money she made tonight. She was the most unprofessional waitress I have ever had and she should be fired. The only redeeming quality was the listed beer prices. The specials for Tuesday were decent. However they will jip you of money if you aren't careful. Seriously people at my table were afraid for the waitress to break their cash. read more

Wow this place is slow, ordered lunch 45min ago and still waiting. I'll update if my food ever comes. Bathroom is disgusting btw

My BFF and I had our monthly lunch at the Brickhouse, and for years we enjoyed the food, but this afternoon we experienced the worst meal ever. The Chicken Wings were under cooked and tasted gamey. We constantly had to ask the waitress the same thing over and over again. The bread was so overly cooked that there wasn't any inside. The dressing that in the past was sweet was now so salty we had to spit it out and order some other dressing we've never had before. The Manager was incompetent and comped only the raw Chicken. Overall, it was a very unpleasant experience. Almost 10 years of great food and dining experience went down the tubes in one Lunch. It disheartened me to now look for a new better dining spot. read more

In consistent menu you never know what the food will come out as. Too spicy over cooked bad portions what ever!! menu never describes accurately what you get. Good service bad food experience... I live close by I've been trying to support this place for ever. I'm all but done such a shame. read more

For me, the aesthetic of a restaurant is always one of the most important things, and that's probably why I was so fond of my experience at Brickhouse Tavern. After making a long car trip and stopping in Davidson, North Carolina, to stay at a hotel along the way, I was amazed by the scenic atmosphere of the nearby Davidson College. We had already scouted out some good restaurants in the area, and we decided to dine at Brickhouse Tavern. I didn't even have to get out of the car to know that I was in for a wonderful meal. Brickhouse Tavern is right across the street from Davidson College, and, as its name suggests, is in a building made of red brick. Just outside of this building are railroad tracks, gentrified houses, and large trees. All of this created a cozy, picturesque atmosphere. As I walked in, the smell of smokey pizza came up my nose and really aroused a rustic type of feeling. The interior was just as cute as the exterior, with dark wood and red brick being intertwined with subtle urban finishing touches to create a very chic decorum. The menu was six pages and very extensive, with a wide variety of appetizers (which also seemed like they would make great meals if desired), pastas, tacos, sandwiches, and salads. The wide variety made my table take forever to decide what to get, but our wonderful waitress was very patient and helpful. I ordered the Chicken Adobo tacos with Cast Iron Mac and Cheese as a side. I also tried breaded wings and pretzel bites as an appetizer, and both were very delicious. My meal was also tasty. The mac and cheese had a nice, crispy crust on top and was very cheesy in the middle. I can't quite describe the flavor of the tacos, but they were very good and blended the ingredients together very nicely. The portions were very large. I finished all of my food, but many people at my table did not, so I also got to try the Brick Oven Quesadilla. It was very unique, as instead of using traditional tortillas it used pizza dough and was greasy just like pizza is. The ingredients were cheese, bacon, and chicken, and they were served with sour cream and pico de gallo on the side. I would say that it tasted more like pizza than quesadillas, but personally I was fine with it because I'm a very big pizza fan. The prices were around $15 for some of the meals like the pastas and pizzas, but the sandwiches and tacos and appetizers were around $9 or even less for the appetizers, so you can eat for a moderate price if you can resist the temptation to order some of the fancier and unique stuff. Everybody in my party left feeling very stuffed (yet we still had two large boxes and one small box of leftovers), so afterward we decided to walk around the campus of Davidson College to check out the beautiful scenery and burn off some of the extra weight. I would definitely recommend doing this if you have the time. I previously have lived in the town of Athens, Georgia, and until now I have regarded it was being the cutest town I have ever been in, but after seeing Davidson, North Carolina, I would have to say that Athens has been knocked down to number two, and Brickhouse Tavern is a great contributor to Davidson's number one position on my mental list of cute towns. read more

Brickhouse Tavern - Chicken Adobo tacos w/ Cast Iron Mac - American Near Me - Davidson, North Carolina

This is a gorgeous restaurant! I had the grilled shrimp tacos and they were amazing. My date had a burger and said it was excellent as well. I had 3 pints of beer, the special. Our overall tab was only $28. Great deal for amazing food! The service was a little slow, but in their defense I think our server was new. I will def be back. read more

I literally found a bug in my pizza. Then when I told the server, she told me I was a liar. I'm upset. Won't go back.

There aren't many options in Davidson, especially for a larger group. We tried Brickhouse last night and the service was good, but I would say the food was just ok. Nothing was bad, but I don't think anyone in our group would go back soon or order the same thing if we did go back. read more

Their food beer selections is good however the only problem here is wait times. Desk said 30 minutes and we have been waiting for 60 minutes. not cool and this is why we don't come here anymore. read more

Came into Davidson dark looking for a place to have a beer. Went in and saw their menu. They brew their own. I saw a pint of Red ale for $2.50 a steal!! Very reasonably priced beer here. Now the negative. I ordered the pretzels cheese and mustard. MYbe I expected too much but this was average at best. Frozen pretzels heated up with generic non tasty cheese and boring mustard. Not sure I would eat agin but for 2.50 yes pour me another pint read more

Great place. Friendly Environment. Deena was great and did a fantastic job. The food was perfect and service was impeccable.

My husband was in the mood for a burger, so I suggested Brickhouse for dinner. I got eggplant parm, which was meh - too mushy with chewy skin. The pasta that came with the eggplant was inedible due to the ridiculous amount of raw (RAW!) minced garlic mixed in. My husband could only smell the garlic, not the burger and fries in front of him. He did like his bburger alright. read more

My wife and I found this place when we stayed overnight in Mooresville on the way to Florida last spring. It sure was nicer than the chain restaurants usually found around freeway exits. I had the Short Ribs topped with cabernet hoisin sauce and it blew me away it was so delicious. This will definitely be a regular stop for us on our road trips south in the future. I'd recommend this to anyone. read more

What on Earth Happen?? The food today was terrible and the service horrible. The Brickhouse Tavern use to be the place to go for a great tasting meal and great service. The last three visits two for dinner and one for Lunch,which was today the last for me. Living in the Davidson area for many years and going to this restaurant to celebrate special occasions and just to have a drink. I was really looking forward to a good meal today. I know sometimes restaurants are hit and miss. But 3x in a row shows me they have fallen by the wayside in quality and service. If I had just moved to the area and had lunch there today I would have never recommended them. I have talked about this place to many who have asked giving them high praise for great lunch and dinner meals. It was just a bad experience all the way around today. The only pleasant experience was the hostess. She gets a star for her pleasant personality. The waitress had an attitude and acted as if she didn't want to be there. Stood leaning on a post away from the table. Not repeating our order back which was wrong ?It was noisy like it usually is even in the dining area. So screaming your order to a waitress who can't come close to the table to hear it properly really! I have been there several times a year for many years and obviously it appears they have a staffing problem or they changed management. If The house beer isn't bad but only had one and it wasn't cold like it usually is . I am guessing it sat there waiting to be picked up. Then asking if I wanted another beer after my check was brought to the table. I even got an eye roll before asking for a glass of water . When I ordered lunch . Then copied an attitude when the Oder was wrong with another member in my party. I heard them clearly. Then we had to wait for it . We were all done eating by then . It's clear the wait staff has fallen by the wayside so has the food. This long time customer will NOT be back. read more

This place was packed on a Saturday night so we didn't mind the 30 minute wait for a table for two. When we were seated, we got a dimly lit booth right next to a rowdy table of 10. Kind of hard to enjoy yourself sitting next to a party of loud drunks. But I won't fault them for that. What I really wanted to mention was the quality of the food. Although the place was extremely busy, food didn't take too long to come out. We ordered the mussels and seared tuna for appetizers. Tuna was good, mussels were horrible. They were cooked in some weird creamy sour sauce. I've just never had mussels that tasted so terrible. For dinner we ordered the lamb and ribs. For the price of the entrées I expected better. Everything was under seasoned. Nothing we had wowed me. Service here was decent though, but also not spectacular. read more

Terrible food and terrible staff! Will never go back to this place! I have had better service at a Waffle House then I did at this restaurant! read more

Bad service... I waited at least an hour to get my food. The waitress was extremely rude and when we finally got our food it was mediocre... I've had better. You can find better restaurants in Davidson. read more

If you are looking for a taphouse with a huge variety of beers on tap?Then this is the place for you! Watch out though...without a reservation on a Saturday night you are looking at an hour wait. Then you'll be waiting a long time to get your food once ordered. Pasta and Pizza dishes are great but the Ahi Tuna left much to be desired. In fact I got sick during the night:( So I won't be going back there for a while! There are better options if you are not a beer drinker. read more

I would have given this place more stars... maybe 3 months ago, but they have really been disappointing lately. Today was the third time in 2 months that they told me they couldn't seat us for at least 90 mins. Today it was two actually 2 hours. Sure, it's Friday lunch time. I get it. But cut the snarky attitude. Why would I make a reservation there after that? And while I don't expect the hostess to predict what we are going to order, they missed out on 6 of us ordering Friday beers down the street. They were certainly appreciative. When pressed on why they couldn't seat us? I was hoping it wasn't because they were discriminatory for some reason, but the excuse was around sending a server home early because they thought it was going to rain. Ummmm, there wasn't one forecast in any of the local publications that indicated ANY percentage of precipitation. My advice is if you get any attitude from the hostess, turn around and leave. read more

Terrible bartenders. They take forever to serve a drink, have a snarky attitude, and are rude to patrons. Won't be coming back.

Giant, and I mean giant portions. I would have not ordered the fries if I hadn't been starving. The burger was good but not hot, more like room temperature. Maybe it was the slaw and the cold chili? The restaurant is beautiful, lots of interesting decor with high ceilings. Staff was efficient and very friendly. Good value for the location...right across from Davidson college admissions building. read more

I live in Plaza-Midwood, where we have many great restaurants within walking distance of my house. But, I have a friend who just got an apartment in Davidson and was excited to show me his new place. "And, we will get something to eat, too," he enthused. So, I made the journey up 115 to meet him. I marveled at his beautifully decorated crib, which was worth the drive alone, and then it was time to eat. John took me to Brickhouse Tavern. Although it was around 5:30 on a Friday night, we still had about a 25 minute wait. So, I knew the food must be pretty good. I ordered the eggplant parmesan, and John got the shrimp pasta primavera. We both ordered a side salad; mine with blue cheese dressing and his with the house variety, a balsamic ginger. Nice, fresh salads with the appropriate amount of dressing. When the entrees came, they were so large that they were practically spilling over the plates. I chose to ignore my spaghetti and eat only the wonderfully breaded, cheese-covered eggplant. I don't think that an Italian restaurant could have prepared it any better. Crisp and flavorful! John enjoyed his dish as well, and we both needed boxes at the end of the meal. So, boo on me for thinking that all Davidson would have is chain restaurants and diners. From the food to the service, I have absolutely no complaints. P.S. Good wine pours as well. read more

First ones in to dine on a snowy Sunday afternoon. The restaurant is in an old cotton mill which makes for a unique experience. Brick pizza ovens at the front entrance are neat to watch while waiting on a table. I love that they have family style dining in one half and the rowdy bar scene (although unique) completely separate. My husband ordered the blackened cod sandwich and I had fish tacos with grilled vegetables. All of the food was superb and we will definitely be back! The service was excellent as well. read more

Omg I just Had the worst experience at Brickhouse tavern... during my dinner I had the pleasure of watching a mouse run around and when I told the waitress she acted as if I was seeing things. Then when the mouse came out for the second time I freaked out and screamed and my husband and children also seen it.. I was still presented with a bill even after my appetite was completely ruined and just the thought makes me want to throw up. We were told by the manager that the exterminator usually comes everyday... well that's fine but he's not doing his job so I'll let the health inspector help y'all... don't go there.. the staff seems to think this is normal. read more

I never write reviews but this one is warranted... Since I work in the area, I visit this establishment frequency. The food is GREAT... hats off to the cooking staff!!!! The other staff members... Your attitude leave something to be desired. NOT inviting, NO personality, really border line rude, especially Jasmine. I really don't understand if so many people love the food and have comments about the staff, when is something going to change. I have even commented to the staff in person! It's really too bad such a nice restaurant has such a terrible delivery on service! read more

I give this place a liiiiiitle extra credit simply for location - I'm a sucker for Davidson. Brickhouse (she's mightay mightay, jus' lettin' it all hang out!) Is an institution, though it doesn't seem it like it's old enough to be an institution. I think the inviting environment, good service and selection of beers is what keeps people coming back b/c the food is good, but it isn't as almighty as the brickhouse being serenaded by Lionel and tne Commodors. The salads are good but I thought my burger was frozen, not hand pattied. read more

Had the half roasted chicken and garlic mashed potatoes. My wife had the linguini with Cajun shrimp in a cream sauce. It was expertly prepared and the service was excellent. read more

I have always had a good experience at Brickhouse Tavern. The portions are large and the service is usually good, unless they are super busy. The building and decor is rather unique but with a rustic charm. The food is the reason to go. I have had salads, burgers, pizzas, and sandwiches and have never had a bad experience. The prices are low, especially considering the portions. The bar is likely the best in Davidson. Sundays offer specials of $5 Bloody Marys and mimosas and there are usually $2 draft beers. Great prices and a great atmosphere for family and friends. read more

Great place / atmosphere good food the staff and manager were outstanding when a person in my party could not find anything on the menu they liked the manager offered and provided a meal that this person wanted definitely coming back. read more

Brickhouse has been doing a horrible job answering the phone for pick up orders. Any time I call I have to call over 10 times till someone answers the phone. They are not busy because I live down the road from the restaurant and can see the parking lot completely empty for the most part. I guess they enjoy losing customers. read more

Good place to drink some beers,many on tap, and watch the games. Food is OK, really noisy in the sit down restaurant area when crowded.
