Inconsistant service... but always a table or a couch whenever we show up.
We keep forgetting to go when there are large sporting events... but this is really a sports bar with a larger than expected menu.
You have 4 options of seating... the bar... tables / booths... couches... recliners.
The tables at the couches are a bit too tall for me... it feels like the kiddie table... so we stick with a regular table if possible.
Service varies... sometimes the staff could care less... but there are 2 waitresses that are really good with refills and check backs.
Tonight we started with the cheese board... never enough bread... more than enough "stuff" for 3 or 4 people.... strong brown mustard that never feels at home with the Brie or the Goat or the Cheddah... but over all a good $10 buy
Our favorite for a while was the deviled eggs... oh the joy of great bacon!
Hubby's fish and chips were OK... not stellar... but good.
My black and blue burger was a perfect medium with a nice amount of grilled onion and just enough blue cheese.
We were too stuffed for dessert and sat back and marveled at the table full of beer bongs... almost as amazing as the group sitting outside by the fire in 33 degree weather... but this is a beer joint after all!
Service and staff are always great. Â I've had just about all their food and its all very good except the pizzas. Â The pizza is just like one of the crummy grocery store-brand that you take home and bake yourself. Â They should really just take it off the menu. Â Can't give 5 stars because of the pizza and everything is $1-$2 too expensive for what it is.
Review Source:Timing and direction issues - but always a table on Friday and Saturday nights!
Usually I crave restaurants that are consistent. But Brick House is consistently terrible at timing the arrival of appetizers and entrees. This happens all the time! You get your appetizers, then the food shows up before you can take a bite. I hate that. I wanted to give two stars, but some of the food is actually tasty, so they get three.
We don't even order our food and appetizers at the same time because of this issue. I guess you have to wait until the appetizers arrive to order entrees if you want to enjoy them.
There's some tasty treats here that I recommend - zucchini curls, the breading is really tasty and I like the parmesan cheese on top. However, they ran out of siracha ranch and instead of making more, brought out regular ranch. Huh? Go make more. Which is what they did, when I asked them to please bring the correct dipping sauce.
My husband ordered the meatloaf, which sounded interesting. It was very tasty. I would order that on a future visit.
I like the French Onion soup - my mom doesn't like that they use smoked provolone, but I thought it was still good and would order again soon.
The calamari is a super treat - with large whole pieces, not the little crappy rings you find elsewhere.
I ordered the roast chicken - which really was grilled, but a whole half! That's a lot of chicken. I really would have preferred a veggie with this instead of just mashed potatoes. And the potatoes were listed as including cheddar but I had none of that. My husband's potatoes too - maybe they ran out!
My parents order the same items every time (pretzel stick appetizer), mahi mahi, and either fish n chips or shrimp (sometimes fries, sometimes tots - I love that they have tots, I am such a fan!).
I do not recommend the mac and cheese. It's terrible. They served it to me cold - not hot at all. Then I requested they add a few little bits of jalapeno - I got a boat load of teensy tiny jalapenos - they covered at least a 1/2 inch at the bottom of the bowl. And the bacon was gross - it was too fatty and in huge chunks. This made the entire thing pretty much inedible. Then, they served it to me cold. Yes, not hot, not warm, cool. How did they make it right? They reheated it! Yuck. Now it was dryer than the desert. How did they make it right? They took it off the bill. It still doesn't erase the memories of that disgusting dish.
Oh - I know I'll be back because my parents are regular diners there - so it's their go-to place. Plus, compared to nearby restaurants like Olive Garden or Applebees (bleh Chains), this has less crowd and more space. I like the fire. I love the patio. I like the bar. I like the stylish seating areas even though my folks require a table.
Friday visit to celebrate a friend's 50th birthday. Talked about glory days over beer and burgers with a few pals. Calamari and zucchini fried appetizers were crispy and not overly greasy. Enjoyed the jalapeño and cherry peppers accompanying the calamari. Three of four folks got burgers and one person opted for the wild mushroom pizza. We killed two beer bongs of Thirsty Dog Old Leghumper's porter goodness. My burger was tasty but overdone. Medium rare order was cooked well into medium. Tater tots were a great side. Service was pleasant and attentive. Can't give 4 stars when burgers get overdone. Nice place, good servers and overlooked burgers.
Review Source:This place is great!!! Very relaxing and great for any sporting event! I wish would have come here for at least one browns home game this year but if they keep up the fantastic service, food and drink I will be back for next football season. This is also a great place to just relax with friends. They have an area with couches and t.vs. You can reserve ahead of time. This would be great for a birthday party as well. We will be going back.
Review Source:Came back here after a Yelp! event to have dinner with family. We were not disappointed! Not only that, we ordered WAY too much food and had to take home lots of leftovers. Even though my son was one of the diners. He eats! Â See his review here too (Mark B). We had four appetizers to share. We should have stopped there, it would have been enough. However, we each ordered dinner too. All but one were delicious. I thought the fish 'n chips were bland. I love to "drown" the fish in malt vinegar, as I did here. Even then, it didn't have enough flavor. Other than that, definitely a place for some non-standard casual fare. The wait staff was over-the-top friendly as well. Very enjoyable evening.
Review Source:I'm guessing that the 3 star yelp rating is due to the fact that they used to be a hooters style T&A place with good food to back it up. Apparently, they could tell it was hurting more than it was helping & they've since dropped that angle in favor of a more homey family friendly bar/eatery. The christmas ale I had was great, our server Lauren was cheery, upbeat, knowledgeable about the menu, and super patient with us as we figured out what we wanted. We got a lot of appetizers & there were so much room for at least one of them to be not-so-good or messed up in some way, but everything we ate was really top notch bar food. The chicken bites were tender & moist & the sauces were great with them. My burger was enormous and was perfectly cooked. The Fish & chips were crispy & savory & the fries were fantastic, not to mention you can get regular fries, cajun fries, or garlic parmesan tater tots. The prices were all also totally reasonable for the portion size & quality. I was really impressed with this place. As far as sports bars go, it's as good as they come, IMO.
Review Source:I love this place! Â The food, the friendly staff, the overal ambiance of the place- it's all spot on. Â It's a great place to go to grab a bite to eat and/or a drink with friends and just relax. Â
For the true American man who like to sit on the couch and watch some good old fashioned TV while they eat, they've got TV's everyehere and couches, yes i said that correctly, COUCHES as well as arm chairs with detchable trays. Or if you're just looking for somewhere to bunker down with some friends for a couple hours to watch your favorite teams on a big screen with a few beers then this is the place for you. Â They have couches and beer bongs. Â Need i say more?
For us women out there that might be looking for a little more ambiance than big screens and couches in our dinner plans, they've also got regular tables, booths and outdoor patio seating where you can just sit, chat and take in the awesome food and decor. Â They have 2 huge, awesome fireplaces- one in door and one out door that are just beautiful to take in.The sayings on the walls are hilarious so take a second to read them all (my personal favorite is "I drink to make other people more interesting" Â ;-)), there is framed underwear outside the restroom doors (a thong indicating the women's room and boxers indicating the men's room) and just in case that all wasn't great enough- there is a little bit of framed eye candy in the restrooms as well. Â Don't worry it's nothing graphic that you would want to hid your childrens eyes from, but just enough to put a smile on your face ;-) Â
The food is really quite good- kind of like bar fare with a little bit of a high end twist- and it really works. Â I've been there 4 or 5 times, have had something different everytime, and have yet to be disappointed. Â The drinks are awesome as well. Â I highly reccomend the "Bee's Knees" if you're into mixed drinks- it's a bit sweet so you'll probably only want to do one or 2 of them but frankly, that's all most people have with dinner anyways so it's perfect.
And for those of you that were concerned with the waitress' dress code... that is a non-issue anymore. Â They have standard clothes on these days so no need to shy away from coming back.
My only 2 complaints would be that I wish they had some more healthy options on the menu. Â And once they address that, they should move closer to my house ;-)
This was my first visit to a Brick House restaurant. First, the atmosphere is nice. Second, the waitress was attentive and nice. Third, the food was just ok. I've been on a mission to find a place that serves pizza with a nice, crunchy crust. I thought a pizza made in a brick oven might be just the thing, so I ordered their $10 pepperoni pizza. It was just ok. Â I'm a retired teacher, and the pizza reminded me of my school's cafeteria pizza. Â The pizza was unevenly heated, and the cheese was a little overwhelming. I'll try the Brick House again, just not for the pizza.
Review Source:My husband and I  went with family on a saturday night, (our first time) Our family was  raving about this place ......well let me tell u this place SUCKS !!!!!!!!  My poor husband ended up getting FOOD POISONING from eating their cajun grilled chicken sandwich. He was sick with vomiting and diirrhea for 4 days. Also we waited for 45 minutes to 1 hour for our food that was AWFUL !!!!!  Needless to say we will never go back to this restaurant .  You r better off saving your money or going somewhere else !!!!!
Review Source:Great beer selection! Â Plenty of good local beers to choose from along with other varying choices. Â It was big and cozy... we sat at two couches with TVs all over the place. Â My boyfriend loved it right away. Â Definitely a guy's sports place. Â We ordered the calamari for appetizer and were pleased. Â He loved the drunken center cut pork chops. Â He was pleased to see they were bone-in and cooked perfectly. Â I ordered my burger medium rare and it came out medium well. Â The service was just okay... At one point, it seemed like the whole wait staff had disappeared when we were just trying to get our check. Â We would definitely go back to watch a game and have a beer and maybe grab a bite to eat.
Review Source:I started working at Brickhouse when they first opened in Cuyahoga Falls. It was an amazing experiance and I loved every second of it. I made some amazing friends and had a blast everyday at work. The managment was pretty shakey when they first opened. We had like 3 managers within the first 6 months. But our bar manager was AMAZING.The drinks are poured strong, and accurately. The kitchen staff works very hard. And the girls bust their butts.
As far as the food goes; COME ONE PEOPLE... Its a bar! Its not a gourmet 5 star restraunt. The burgers arent that good. The Kobe is just ok. The Mahi Mahi is delicious (in the fish sandwich) The philly cheesesteak is sooo good. Make sure you get peppers and onions. Chicken in waffles is good as well. Drunkin pork chops are moist, perfectly cooked, and the sauce is amazing. All of the apps are good. The wings are kind of average ( i am a wing snob )
Since I havent been working there I see they have added more items to the menu.
Cant wait to go in and check them out.
To the women who was like "omg there was T & A EVERYWHERE!!!"
Come on. We were never aloud to have our butts hanging out of our shorts.
And yeah ok some girls might have big boobs and heaven forbid are showing some clevage. I just think its so funny how narrow minded people can be.
'they must all be hookers!" Yeah right lady. Every girl likes the outfit, wears it proud with confidence, and busts her ASS on a daily basis. I made soooo much money when I worked there. And no, not because I was showing the world all of my ASSets. But because  I am nice, I work hard, and I am a great waitress.
So suck it!
Brick House Girls + Brick House Food  rock
I wish I could give negative stars - we decided to give this a try around 4:30 on a Friday. Â What restaurant doesn't anticipate early diners on Fridays? Â We walked in, were greeted by NO ONE, not even a "Please seat yourself" sign.
Obviously our first visit, we didn't know what to do, we literally saw no waitresses walking around anywhere, though it appeared one was having a chat with some other employees/male prospects in the middle, and the bartender was super busy at her bar. Â The tables we saw all had empty drinks, so we turned and left.
Way to go!
This Brick house has gone Family Friendly and the waitresses are dressed like  every other restaurant's waitresses now.  So to the reveiwer who found the sight of the waitresses legs "gross and disgusting", it's safe to come back now.  Â
Anyway, the strength of this restaurant is its wide open setup that makes it an excellent place to catch a game. Â The large square bar includes a number of craft beers. Â
As for the food, mine has been mostly mediocre. Â The burger was overcooked and the fries ordinary. Â Fish was pretty good. Â I go back occasionally, especially on game nights.
Before I write this review you gotta know I'm a little biased. I'm a vegetarian. However, I feel that I need to let other vegetarians out there know about places that are not willingly or able to satisfy our needs. As with the other reviews Brick House is definitely a guys type of place: lots of meat, huge selection of beers, big screen tvs with games, and waitresses dressed in booty hugging shorts.
I've been here a handful of types mostly with groups after sporting events. If I were a meat eating, beer drinking, sports guy I would give this place 5 stars. However, I am a gluten free vegetarian girl that can eat a salad here. Fun. On the plus side the mixed drinks are pretty generous and delicious. :)
Sitting here and not wanting to wait until I leave to draft this review. This place is cozy, sofa seating is nice. That's where it ends. Really inventive menu with no follow through on the quality of food. My fiancé got the steak and eggs which was a joke for $15. It looked like a senior's portion at some crap breakfast restaurant like Perkins. I got the wedge salad and a bowl of Mac and cheese - can't really screw either up I guess - but nothing memorable.
Yeah, the girls are wearing nothing - but I couldn't care less...its more the creepy old married men without their rings on that upsets me. Don't you have somewhere else to be, old balls?
I'd pass if you are thinking about a visit to brick whatever.
1st and foremost I will tell you the food here is AWESOME!!!! It gets 5 stars for flavor and looks.
The atmosphere also gets a 5 star rating. Â Where else can you sit on a couch, eat food that is brought to you and watch TV all at the same time?
But here's where it ends for me. Â I WILL NOT PATRON A PLACE THAT REQUIRES/LETS THE WAITRESSES WEAR SHORT SHORTS AND TEENY TANKS THAT HIDE NOTHING. Â Especially in the dead of winter. Â It's gross and disgusting to see things I'm not in the mood to see when I just want to eat. Â 2nd, being a hetero woman, I'm not really into looking at coochy or boobies. Â I'm also NOT into women selling their bodies just for a few more dollars in tips. Â I WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO THIS PLACE!!! Â If I could give a negative rating, this is the area I would do it in.
Oh, and YES, I did complain and tell this all to management and the main company.
Akron is not a place known for having many restaurants with scantily-clad women serving as waitresses, such as a Hooters. Â Such overt sexism is normally reserved for the strip clubs. Â Last year, a growing chain named the Brick House opened up what is most like an upscale Hooters on Howe Ave. in the Falls, just a few hundred feet northwest of Chapel Hill Mall. Â In day 4 of the Alcoholocaust (what I'm calling my last week in Akron), a friend and I went to visit this place to watch the Tribe game and get drunk.
This is a man's place. Â If you are a woman, there's a good chance you won't enjoy being here - especially like the guys do. Â We came into the place to see girls ranked anywhere from 4-8 on a 1-10 scale dressed in short shorts and shirts exposing part of their stomachs. Â My friend and I would intentionally order beers from the lower racks just to see them bend over, but they are only dressing that way to tease you. Â They aren't supposed to bend over completely, which is a let down for a lot of guys (I'm here for the game and beer, so it wasn't a biggie). Â They have a large number of TVs within the place, as well as a lounge area for the guys to just chillax. Â And, of course, there's the average-to-hot waitresses to socialize with.
The first thing we noticed (other than the girls) was how much money was shelled into the layout. Â The bar had a fireplace, an expensive paint job, upscale lighting, and an all-wooden patio. Â No other place would throw in $1 million to make a dining and/or drinking experience this nice. Â The next thing we noticed was the beer selection. Â The beer selection is impressive for a chain. Â They have the shitty domestic beers, but then you work your way up to microbrews such as Thirsty Dog, Hop Devil, and Pilsner Urquell. Â They also have an average menu serving food of average quality. Â We ordered some wings that were dipped in 4 different sauces and served with celery. Â The wings were acceptable, but it was really obvious that they were frozen at one point; they had that formaldehyde-ish taste that Wing Street and The Lube have. Â Everything here is quite overpriced, despite the better-than-average selection. Â The average price for a beer was $4.50, while the average price for a shot was well over $7.
At the end of the night, the Tribe blew a 3-0 lead thanks to the wonderfully predictable pitching of Joe Smith, and we were hammered. Â I was even talking about how much I love Yelping (which I never talk about with non-Yelp friends unless they ask). Â While I has happy with the girls and the selection, a $20 tab for a Washington Apple, a Hop Devil, a PBR, and wings might be a few bucks more than at other bars I can be found at in Akron. Â If you are into an upscale drinking experience and are fine with restaurants that exploit the female body such as this, then this is the place for you. Â If not, you are better off staying home.
Great service, nice atmosphere and good food. Â They have some cozy couches, recliners and lots of TVs. Â Food is reasonable and tasted great. Â I just moved here from CA so the waitresses 'outfits' didn't seem hooter-ish to me but I can see now that there was a lot of short-shorts and cleavage for OH maybe. Â Will definitely return and recommend it to others!
Review Source:If you like beer, boobs, sports, and lounges, this place is perfect for you. Hooters style waitress staff, a flatscreen TV in every possible location, large tables and or couches. One of the largest beer menus in NE Ohio with fair pricing. Outdoor patio with a large fake fire/heat lamp which can make at least 10 people very comfortable in the winter. What's not to like? Just bring a DD or find arrangements home because it's very easy to get wasted here!! You can literally order a bong of you favorite beer off the menu and chug right at the table. What's not to like?
Review Source:I didn't have a clue that this was an upscale version of "hooters" when I went. I had the worst experience that I left and will never return.
I sat at the bar and their tap spewed out all over me twice! Â it took them about 20 minutes to get me a drink of water. Â After getting beer spilled on me twice, I left. Â They didn't care- they were clueless & rude.
(Ladies, FYI: I know this is more of a "man's place" but you still get the same awesome service as the guys [to be honest, I think we get better service...HAH!], and there's definitely no 'weirdness' if you go in with a bunch of girlfriends)
Quite possibly the best laid-back atmosphere. Possibly biased because I'm a Texan (and this is a Texas-based company), but the service here is amazing, the food is pretty darn good, and the environment is awesome.
Jessica, my favorite waitress, is quite possibly the best server I've ever come across. It's like she's a freaking genie. I've set down half-empty cups, went back to reach for it again and find a full cup never realizing she had been there. Super attentive and the sweetest personality, she's the main reason I keep coming back again and again.
The food is good. A solid 'tavern-style' menu....lots of fried goods, finger foods, and even some decent more traditional entrees (which I honestly didn't expect).
The pretzel sticks are a must as well as the sweet and spicy shrimp (deep fried hot peppers anyone?! LOVE them). Huge fan of the deep fried zucchini as well.
As far as main meals go, the salads suck. But let's be honest. You don't go to a place like this and order a darn salad. The mahi-mahi is shockingly good. Flaky, sweet, cooked perfectly. Goes great with cajun dusted fries. The burgers are all fantastic with the Black and Bleu being my absolute favorite.
I'm really looking forward to trying their ribs and their chicken&waffles on my next couple of trips!
