Brick House Tavern + Tap

We got deviled eggs with bacon on them for an appetizer. They were pretty good.

For my entree I ordered the parmesan panko fried shrimp and they weren't very good. The shrimp didn't seem fresh and the coating was burnt.

When this first opened, we started going here. It was really a great place. The man-cave wings were saucy and succulent, and the drinks were spot-on. We could bring our dog on the patio and we had a few favorite servers.

Over time, though, the food went south. The wings were drizzled rather than smothered in sauce... even when we requested otherwise. They oftentimes came so overcooked and dry that the bones were charred and broken/cracked. And the bartenders actually argued with us when we saw them pour well liquor for a drink we asked for top shelf on ("no I didn't pour well"). And the last straw is when they stopped letting pooches on the patios.

But, even with everything else going downhill, they still bring your dog (tied outside the patio entrance though) a bowl of water, and our servers are still there on the weekends we are, and that's always a bonus, because they are still one of the few places on the Island that you can get authentic, good service.. if you know who to ask for.

P.S. their man-cave wing sauce is awesome, as is their fried stuffed olives and the black and bleu burger.

It's an mediocre gastropub. Stick with burgers, fish n chips, etc, and you won't be let down. If its fried its probably a good choice. Don't get fancy, just get dancy.
