It was an over cooked patty on rye bread, most definitely not a patty melt. The fries were so salty they burned my lips so I did not eat much. The waitress was sweet and answered any questions we had, but once she brought our food she never came back to check on us even tho there was only one other table. I could have used some water.

As it can often be... look past that. Just accept it as they are focusing on the taste of the food itself. Because that's really what's going on here. The brisket, the pork, the buns, the sauce, the beans, and more, all come together in an amazing taste experience. This was filled with flavor, immaculately done, with complexity and taste that beats some of the more upscale places. Customer service was one guy, handling the register and the kitchen, and yet he had time to check on us, be cheerful and friendly, and just make sure we had a good experience.

I had the Chili Mac with a side salad. The latter was kinda small. The entree was fine. It was made with angel hair pasta, so that was unique. I make mine with elbow macaroni, hence Chili MAC. My wife had the 8 ounce sirloin which was absolutely fantastic!!! She totally out ordered me!! She had the baked sweet potato for her side. That steak. Man. Just SO good!! We both agreed the salad dressings here were special. She had blue cheese and I had 1000 Island. It was not orange like the cheap stuff. This was great! We'd absolutely return here to dine and split the 16-ounce sirloin. There's a $5 split plate fee, FYI.

The place deserves a 3.9, but I only gave it a 3.0 as it committed an unpardonable sin: the credit…read morecard surcharge (or as they call it here: "ADMIN FEE"). Accordingly the Merchants Payments Coalition the credit card surcharge/admin fee, has increased from 2.02% in 2010 to 2.35% in 2024. Now while I agree this seems a little high, it's not catastrophic, and I have trouble believing this 0.33% increase has directly led to this brave new world of bifurcated billing: one price for cash and second price that is somewhat more than 0.33% greater. Well it has at the The Brick Oven, as I was charged 3.75% (see photo). If your going charge me more to use my credit card, then you need inform me. And as the only thing I really demand from capitalism is transparent pricing, do owners really want to start off my dining experience with a review of how it ends? Well instead this place chose to avoid this checkered conversation by annotating the bottom of my bill accordingly. Dining here was supposed to a moment to relax with my wife and think some very Twainian thoughts, and not about conducting some financial analysis. But I guess that's the last memory the owner wants to impart. Our server (the guy who lives above the place), was excellent and I feel bad about taking the difference between 3.75% and my 2% credit card cash back out of his tip, but something must be done. Btw: Whenever I'm asked to choose between paying more or paying cash, I always have a distinct feeling it's less about saving a dollar in credit card fees and more about saving 20 dollars in taxes.

My sister and brother in law live about 8 miles from this location. My parents are celebrating…read moretheir 60th anniversary and my brother in law and sister scoped this place out before hand. Altogether there was 13 of us, and the manager said they dont normally serve groups of that size but would do their best. Got seated right away and there was plenty to choose from on the menu. I did what I think they called the boat garbage plate. This had everything I love when done right, including catfish fillets, fried shrimp, fries, cole slaw, and plenty of sauces including tartar and shrimp coctail. Despite the size of our group the food came out in good time. Not to fast which would make me think microwaving was going on, but not too slow either. Fish was crispy, well seasoned, flaky, and not tasting of other fried foods like chicken etc, which sometimes happens. A+++ on the food. Everyone else in the group got similar dishes and were equally as impressed. There were a few kids and they got the kids got the kids platters. There maybe could have been a little more on the portion size but none of them really would have eaten much more than they were given so its all good. My portion size made me feel a little guilty as it would violate any diet out there, but for a once in a while meal this is perfect. The waitress and mgr brought out mom and dad a ice cream sundae and sang happy anniversary to them. Mom and Dad were blown away by the whole thing and mom talked to the manager with a lot of compliments after the meal. I was almost going to grab her and bring her along back to the car as it was creating a bit of a logjam of people coming in. The dining rooms had a lot of taxidermized animal heads and it was put together like a cabin, which I thought was really cool. I think the people working here are working really hard to put this place on the map and I think it is working. Cant say enough, great experience.

We waited for approximately an hour before a table was ready for us. We talked to the locals who said the food was well worth it. So glad we stayed. The locals were right. It was worth the wait. The food very tasty and we got a lot of food. I took home half of my very tender ribeye (perfectly cooked.). Hubby took home some of his tenderloin platter. Save room for dessert (we didn't) because they have a large variety. We Will definitely return to eat here if we find ourselves in the area! The ranch dressing and croutons were homemade (said the locals). They have been there for 30 years. They also own a restaurant in Hannibal.
