Had a good visit to Bricks Smoked Meats. The ambiance was great, and we sat at the bar, where the…read moreservice was very good and attentive. I ordered the brisket plate with collard greens and mac and cheese. The brisket itself had good flavor, but unfortunately, a noticeable portion of the half-pound serving was fat that was essentially inedible -- probably around an eighth of a pound. The sides were tasty, but the portions felt a little small. My wife ordered the two-meat platter with turkey and sausage, along with potato salad and coleslaw. The turkey was good, but the sausage was a little bland. The surprise highlight of the meal was actually the jalapeño poppers we ordered to start. They were excellent and probably my favorite thing we had. Overall, it was a good experience with a nice atmosphere, good service, and some solid food. There were a few misses, but nothing that would keep us from coming back. I'd likely return, although I'd probably try something different next time.

Love this place! I take my boss here whenever he's in town. Get the bacon burnt ends, the big one!…read moreI usually sit at the bar when I'm by myself and I've always had good service.

Ummm... HOW DOES THIS PLACE NOT HAVE ANY REVIEWS!? First of all, the place is split into two…read moredifferent buildings based upon what you're looking for. One half has all of their fresh seafood while the other has pork/beef and poultry. The shops themselves aren't all that fancy... But I didn't expect them to be. They're small, clean and cramped full of deliciousness. Whole Foods snobs, beware. My hubby and I lingered in the side of the store with the other meats (those smoked ham hawks though... DROOL!) and frozen goods for a minute looking for the fish before someone directed us to the other building (lol) aaaand there, my friend, is where all the magic was happening. We were greeted by a really cool guy (he didn't speak english too well, but I certainly don't give a sh*t) arranging fresh shrimp over ice and we were instantly amazed. The prices were flippin unreal! 8.99 a lb for jumbo head on shrimp, 10.99 for snow crab legs... It was almost to good to be true. AND THEN IT GOT BETTER! While the hubs shopped for dinner, I went ahead and started looking through the cold case for something to munch on. It was lunch time and I was starvin'. That's when the guy behind the counter stopped me and pointed to some signs on the walls... FRESH, MADE TO ORDER HOT FOOD COMBOS?! I was overwhelmed with choices so he said he would make me something yummy and I mean... Why not trust your fish guy? He grabbed two filets of red snapper off the ice and walked back into his kitchen. A few minutes later, he came back with a styrofoam to-go box full of crispy golden fish and fresh cut fries. SWEET LORD IT WAS SO GOOD! 1 lb of fried snapper, 1 lb of hand cut fries + 3 hush puppies, all for $8.99!? Be still, my heart. It was such a hefty portion that my man and I ended up sharing it. We got out of there with a 1lb filet of grouper, half a pound of head on shrimp, a pound of crab and my generous 2 filet lunch for only $33! What a complete steal! I can't even get farm raised frozen fish at Publix for those prices! Other than the Starfish Co, so far this is the only place we will be going for our fresh seafood. Excellent quality meats, excellent service.

All things change expecting a butcher and the smell of fresh meats was not in my day. In my opinion…read morethe name Butcher is grossly misleading. The Butcher Shop is a store providing pre cut ,frozen and vacuumed packaged on our visit the choices were limited especially in Pork and Chicken. The store also provides a huge variety of bottled herbs, rubs and associated items for kitchen use. The market personnel state that the meats especially the beef is of the highest quality such as Wagyu and I have no reason to doubt that. Over all the experience was not good especially when you pay premium for pre cut and packaged vs hand cut to order. If you are looking for a butcher this is not the place to go. For those who don't mind this approach go for it.

I was there for the wine, I might have bought some potato salad. ​You step off the burning Sarasota asphalt into a cool, carpeted room that smells like cold cut steaks, smoked bacon fat, and the damp oak of expensive wine barrels. It's quiet inside, the kind of quiet that lets a man hear his own thoughts, whether he wants to or not, typically I fo not care to hear the committee as I so affectionately refer to the voices. ​On one side, you've got cold glass cases packed with raw red beef, house made sausage, and thick-cut slab bacon. On the other side, row after row of Cabernet and Pinot sit under green lamps, lined up on blonde wood racks like a legion of dark bottles ready to take the edge off a hot Florida evening. Up in the back room, behind a pair of doors under a small, glittering chandelier, they keep the high-dollar stuff Opus, Ridge, Cabernets that costs more than a ome poor slobs week's wages. High-end grapes waiting on a wooden barrel for somebody with too much money in his pocket. ​It's half butcher shop, half high class cellar, all clean carpet and quiet business. You can pick out a prime ribeye, grab a bottle of deep red to drown the heat, and head back out to the parking lot before the sun burns through your shirt. A solid joint.
