Brick Ridge Restaurant

I've driven by this adorable restaurant dozens of times before stopping in. The outside is charming, but as soon as you walk in, the restaurant is very disjointed-- It's pieced together, with a very weird layout.

The menu sounds very appetizing, but the food is nothing special. I say ok at best. I had the shrimp and grits. The tarragon was added with a heavy hand. The overall dish clumsy.

The beer selection was great, but I can stay home to have a good beer!

The owner was there the evening we went. He was very personable and helpful, but that's not what makes for a great experience.

Overall, the experience was mediocre at best. Very disappointing. I will not be returning.

The Wife and I decided to give it a go for our weekly date night.  What a great decision that turned out to be.  

The restaurant is located on Rt. 27 more or less in the middle of no where.  The one immediate downside I noted was the gravel parking lot which made it difficult for the wife to walk in heels.  There was ample parking and the area was lit up enough to make it comfortable.  

You walk into an old house converted into a restaurant and it's a very beautiful and simply decorated atmosphere.  Was quickly greeted by a charming hostess who took us to our table (reservation was made ahead of time, would recommend it just in case they're busy).  

Drinks came out quickly, not sure about he liquor selection, I stuck with a delicious seasonal pecan brew and water.  Next came the appetizers, macaroni and cheese fritters and delicious corn bread hush puppies! (WOW)!  The main course was just as good.  I had steak and lobster and the wife stuck with the peach marinated pork chop(WOW AGAIN).  We got dessert to go and were on our way.  

The meal was adequately priced, a little steep on the entrees but not too bad for the quality.  The service was phenomenal!  Never went without a full glass or being asked if anything was needed.  The atmosphere was quiet and extremely comfortable.   Overall I can't wait to go back and try some more dishes.  I'm also going to give brunch a try!!!

Great for Sunday brunch. It is a very friendly staff and Todd the owner is very  attentive. The dinner beef filet and the rum salmon were excellent. By all means try the shrimp with cheese grits
