BrickHouse BBQ & Brew — Restaurant in Liberal

BBQ & Brews; let's start with the latter. The place does have ambiance and a typical brewhouse decor. Yes they have beer (and mixed drinks), but the draft "selection" amounts to only 14 or so common grocery store brands with honest pricing. And the Only beer list is one quickly read by your server. IMHO the best beer was advertised on a huge neon wall sign, but not an option. Food - we ordered popcorn shrimp and coleslaw w/ onion rings as a side (my wife doesn't like BBQ 😳) and a pulled pork sandwich w/ BBQ baked beans. The shrimp were ok. The slaw was tinier than pictured on the menu, and the server told us this in advance; one bite and we knew why. The onion rings were crispy but overdone in old oil and too salty. The pulled pork sandwich had ample tender (BBQ'd?) meat, but was hit so hard w/ table salt in the kitchen that it obscured the flavor and crunched when eaten. This salt use is a cheap method we used to employ in shot-and-beer joints to sell more drinks. The "baked" beans were very similar to canned w/ BBQ sauce added to make them even soupier. Kudos to the server for offering a non-provided spoon to eat them with. The 2 stars are for a nice clean place and good service. Maybe it's just the way Brew and BBQ is done in this area. I would recommend passing on this establishment for food and/or draft...

We had a great experience at Brick House! We are from the Kansas City area so we definitely know good BBQ. I wouldn't say this ranks as high as our favorite places back home, but you can still get a good plate of BBQ here. We tried the pulled pork grilled cheese, the smoked bologna, ribs, and burnt end sandwich. Of these items, I think we would order the ribs and the burnt ends again but probably not the grilled cheese or bologna. The latter items didn't have as much flavor as we would have expected.

One item you can't miss - the extra hot bbq sauce! You have to ask for it and it lives up to it's name; it is hot! But oh my goodness, the flavor is incredible! I don't love super spicy things but this sauce was worth the burn to me since the flavor was so good.

If / when we go back, we want to try the fries and the donuts. We saw other people order them and they looked delicious. (We had the beans and Mac and cheese. Both were okay...the mac and cheese was pretty gloppy and the beans were good, but not anything out of...

This was an unexpected delight! My husband is an avid griller, but we enjoyed a night out for dinner splurging on some of our favorite foods for a change. The ribs were dry-rubbed flavored, tender, fall-off-the bone delicious. The pulled pork was well seasoned and really good with or without their bbq sauce, and the polish sausage was delicious. The burnt-ends were a little too smokey and saucy for our preference...but others may like it that way. We also had fried pickle spears for an appetizer-we like that so much more than the typical pickle chips. The batter was so crispy and the side of ranch dressing was the perfect touch. I always love the option for sweet potato fries and the side dish of potato salad my husband had was worth mentioning as well. Our server was very sweet and accommodating and the drinks were big and cold! Such a great experience, we will...
