    Visitors to the town of Leesburg, Florida, we were happy to find The Brick and Barrel where dogs were allowed. Although outside dinning was available, the weather wasn't conducive. The restaurant is a bit nostalgic with photos of past decades. While one long room serves meals and seconds as a bar, an adjacent room has a billard table with a live band, which is open late on weekends. The Simply Grilled Mahi Sandwich was nicely prepared, as was the B&B Cheeseburger with Bacon. When it came to dessert, our waitress suggested the Cinnamon Churro Donuts, which were slightly sinful, but greatly delicious.

    Sirloin with double broccoli

    Shelby our server was second to none! Ordered sirloin with compound butter and broccoli which was amazing. Had a fun time for my stepdad's birthday!

    Party of six for dinner on a Saturday around 6 p.m. We all ordered different entrées--flatbread, ribeye, sirloin, pineapple chicken, ribs, burger, and drinks. The ribeye could have used a bit more salt in my opinion, and the red mashed potatoes were on the sweet side, which was a little unusual. That said, the service was great and we had a really nice time out with family.

    The place is very inviting. Unfinished ceilings with exposed ventilation ducts, along with strings of white lights. A long bar was full of patrons enjoying the various brews. Our server was attentive and friendly. One particularly loud customer made for a slightly less enjoyable meal. My fish sandwich was very good. My only complaint: it was small. Wife's meal, a Chipotle chicken sandwich was also small. Both came with a handful of greens. Bottom line: I enjoyed our visit. I had room for Mystic ice cream after dinner, from across the street.

    Mozzarella moons

    This isn't your average bar and grill... the menu has a great variety of choices with dishes that each have their own uniqueness. We started with the fried mozzarella moons and although they are a bit pricey, they were very good. The marinara! Definitely homemade! For our meals: the fish and chips: The fish is excellent. The beer batter is nice and crispy with nice flaky fish inside. The tartar sauce was very good. Not overpowering, but has a wonderful flavor. The seasoned fries were cooked perfectly. This was all complimented by a not too sweet or too tangy coleslaw. All together, I would say it was a very classic fish and chips dinner made with care. The Cuban sandwich was just as delightful. I had a brown sugar old fashioned that tasted like Christmas. Service and ambiance is excellent. We will be back!!

    The food here is mediocre. It doesn't taste bad, but for the prices it's not impressive or good either. I got the pineapple chicken which was marked as a favorite. It was dry and just not that great. The rice tasted like it was premade from a package. The grilled pineapples were good and a nice touch. The brussel sprouts had good flavor, but need to be cooked a little longer. For crispy sprouts they were quite soft and small compared to most sprouts. The servers were nice but I found myself spending quite a bit of time waiting to be greeted, waiting to place my order and for my check. Ambiance is the best part of the experience. Cute place well laid out, indoor and outdoor seating. The looks and ambiance gave me hope the place would be better than it was. I hope they can sort out some of the food quality as it is a promising location.

    Surf and Turf
    Dave M.

    Passing through Leesburg at dinner time and this place had a nice menu, GREAT pics, and decent reviews. I went with the surf & turf. Asked for the filet Medium. Shrimp were barely seasoned and I had to tear them apart to get them off the skewer. If it was a filet, it was extra well done, it was more like a baseball sirloin butterflied and grilled beyond well done. The "crispy" brussels were not crispy at all, just soft and drowned in glaze, that wasn't very good. Service was good. They up charge you if you pay by card.

    Do you have the Fried mushrooms as shown?

    Hi, Joe! The picture shown is from a few years ago and, unfortunately, Fried Mushrooms are no longer on our menu. However, when you visit, just ask your server and we should be able to whip some up for you! We hope to serve you soon!

    Came for dinner because Yelp says you're open, but closed and no hours posted. When are you actually open?

    A Touch of Irish Cuisine My spouse and I visited McCracken's…read moreIrish Pub in Leesburg for the first time after seeing it pop up on Facebook, and we're glad we did. The restaurant is larger than it looks from the outside, and I immediately thought it might be a great spot to bring my Sunday golf group in the future. We were greeted by Jonathan, who became our server, and the relaxed, laid back atmosphere set the tone for a great lunch. Since we arrived right at opening, the staff was just getting started, but Jonathan was attentive from the moment we sat down. He brought the menus -- the main menu, a pick three appetizer menu, and the drink list -- and took the time to explain a few dishes that caught our eye. My spouse ordered an IPA, and I went with an unsweetened Arnold Palmer. We started with the Tavern Fries, which reminded me of Canadian poutine. The twist here is that the cheese curds are breaded and fried, then topped with brown gravy. Rich, hearty, and absolutely delicious. For my entrée, I chose the Shepherd's Pie. Traditionally, shepherd's pie is made with lamb, while cottage pie uses beef. McCracken's version combines lamb, beef, and vegetables, baked until piping hot. I was worried the lamb might be too gamy, but the flavor was excellent -- comforting and well seasoned. My spouse ordered the Corned Beef Boxty Stack, which is like a Reuben but served on potato pancakes instead of bread. He loved it, and the bite I tried was delicious. Jonathan checked on us often and even brought me a refill before I finished my first drink. Portions were generous, and neither of us could finish our meals -- especially after the Tavern Fries. We took leftovers home. We were so impressed with the food and service that I've already decided to bring my Sunday golf group here on September 13. McCracken's Irish Pub was definitely an adventure worth exploring.

    This Irish joint was busy as hell during Bikefest, but well worth the visit. I recommend the Fish &…read moreChips and Blt and a frothy pint of Guinness.

Casual environment, yet classy. Quiet but not boring. It's truly a great find! Lunchtime ends at 3pm and I was an hour early and was greeted by Tambra at the pleasantly appointed bar seating.

    The 4 of us had dinner at Turner's. The decor was nice, pretty dark, but had an open feel…read more Upon looking at the menu, I quickly realized that this menu was different from what I saw on Yelp. As a vegetarian and my wife being Gluten Free, we wondered what we would order. If we knew our friends better, we would have suggested going elsewhere, but did not say much. I saw that they have a side salad and wondered if they could make that into an entree portion for me. The very nice waitress came back with a resounding 'no', they could not accommodate. The menu was almost 100% meat or fish. There was one vegetarian plate, which was expensive and I could not see the value reflected in the rather large asking price. Instead, I ordered 3 sides, Brussel Sprouts, grits and sweet potatoes, each $5.00. They were all good with the exception of the Brussel Sprouts having a gas taste. So too much flame there. My wife eats meat and had the Prime Rib (first time in 20 years). She said it was good and it was $34. The Salmon was also $34. Our friends each had the blackened salmon and they were also $34. These came with 1 side. To us, we felt the food was overpriced. The mostly meat menu caters obviously to only meat eaters and the owner was not willing to make any changes as our friend wanted to leave the bacon oil out, and that didn't happen. I suppose they do not need our business and our friends felt the same way. Of course, after hearing such good things about the place, we were sorry we went there. Or course, if in the future the name of the restaurant comes up, we will share our experiences. Word of mouth advertising came be good or bad. Seemed like the waitress has had to give the 'no change' answer lots of times before. So, this was not our kind of restaurant as they didn't serve what we wanted. Oh well, we tried.
