My family and I love visiting Brick Alley everytime we visit Newport. My husband and I visited most recently on 12/28/22. We arrived around 6:45 pm and were told it would be an hour to an hour and a half wait. We expected there to be a wait during the busy holiday season. As such, this wasn't a problem as we visited another local place for pre dinner drinks as we waited. We received the text that our table was ready at the hour and a half mark. We returned to the restaurant and were seated at a table in the back room. The service was prompt and attentive. We had nachos, Point Judith calamari, and two entrees from the specials menu. The food was all good, although the calamari was not as good as we remembered from the past. We also took dessert to go. The bathroom did not have any warm water in the sinks. I noticed this as did the patrons sitting next to us. The water was ice cold. Another item to note was a strong odor in the room with the booths connecting the bar room to the back room. We noticed the smell upon arriving and noted it while visiting the bathrooms and leaving for the evening. It was quite noticeable and very unpleasant. This should be addressed, as I'm not sure how diners could enjoy their time eating in that room. Otherwise, Brick Alley is a must visit when in the Newport. We have been coming for years and will continue to visit when in the area!

I had the opportunity to try the lobster Mac & cheese at Brick alley pub and restaurant, and unfortunately, I have to agree that it was not up to par. The lobster tasted very artificial and not at all fresh, with an unpleasant plastic-like texture that left a bad taste in my mouth. It was a real disappointment, especially considering that the dish is one of their menu highlights. I would not recommend this dish to anyone looking for a good lobster Mac & cheese. However, it is not all bad news as the restaurant also serves other delicious dishes that are definitely worth trying. The bread & chicken nachos, for instance, were particularly enjoyable. The combination of crispy tortilla chips, tender chicken, and fresh toppings made for a great appetizer. I also had the pleasure of sampling their spicy buffalo pasta, which was absolutely fantastic. The pasta had a nice kick to it, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful, earning a solid 8.5 out of 10 in my book. Overall, while the lobster Mac & cheese was a letdown, there are plenty of other options on the menu at Brick alley pub and restaurant that are definitely worth checking out. So, if you're in the area, skip the lobster Mac & cheese and go for something else!

Upon entering the Brick Alley, my senses were overwhelmed by all of the wonderful sensations, there was the smells of all the different foods, the cheerful chatter of all the patrons, and many unique local oddities hung from the ceiling and walls. The wait staff were very polite, helped me find a beer that I enjoyed, and gave some helpful recommendations of some of their favorite menu items. Choosing just one thing to eat is a difficult task, as there is a variety of different meals to choose from. I ended up settling on the lobster mac and cheese, a recommendation from both the waitress and my friend. The lobster mac and cheese is served hot, fresh out of the oven hot, so all the cheese is nicely and thoroughly melted. The lobster was great, and I felt the ratio of mac and cheese to lobster was perfect. Blanketing it all was a coating of bread crumbs that gave the dish a crunchy texture. The chefs must be saints, because this meal felt like a gift from heaven, amen. After my wonderful experience at the Brick Alley, I will definitely return with my family to share with them a wonderful dining experience, but I will make sure to have a reservation, because with food this good, everyone wants to have some!

Tourist review: we loved our experience at Brick Alley. It was a recommendation by our Airbnb host and it was spot on! We loved everything from start to finish from the location being right by the water in Newport. We enjoyed walking the shops while we waited for our table. The service: this was a major highlight for us! Madison who was our waitress was so kind and welcoming. She made great recommendations and was so attentive! Not only was Madison on top of it, the whole team was polite and friendly. We met the manager who came by, asked how our food and experience was going, and additional servers who also said hi! The food: I got the lobster Mac and cheese. My wife got the short rib sandwich. BOTH were amazing!!! Haha. The Mac and cheese had generous servings of lobster and tasted wonderful! The short rib was full of flavor! Absolutely amazing meat! Then came dessert! A big bowl of ice cream with a chocolate brownie and almond shavings. Yes please! Overall an amazing experience and a must eat if your visiting Newport! Can't wait to go again someday!

TLDR; If you like good food, and a team that cares about your experience, you will definitely find both here! This place has the best restaurant service I've ever experienced. Not just for the amazing quality of their meals (which by the way this place has in my opinion some of the best food in Newport!), but what really sticks in my mind is how genuine the service was, even after the experience was over. I went here with a group of friends for a bachelorette party, and after having an amazing meal in a great environment I responded to their customer service survey... and a few weeks later I get this in the mail a (see photo). Though I'm states away and may not get the chance to visit RI again, this gesture made my day. It brought back the sweet memories I had in Newport with my friends, and reminded me of one of the best meal experiences I've ever had! Thank you Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant team for the work you're putting into this excellent service!

Id venture at your own risk. Maybe i caught it on a bad day, but we had mediocre food that noone really finished. Also very slow, but very friendly service. You know when you ask for like honey mustard for your fries and they never come back for 10 min and when they do they didnt bring it, and you still havent eaten because you wanted to eat all your food together. So they say sorry ill go get it but they dont and then someone has to get up and go find your server to let them know you still havent got it, and when it finally comes everything is ice cold because its been over 15 min. For some honey mustard. Decor was really cool, and they ended up comping a meal because they felt bad, about the whole thing. Decor was awesome. Burger was a huge mess and overcooked idk very mixed feelings like i loved our waitress convo and personality but she wasnt doing a good job if that makes any sense.
