We got Brick Street Tavern for dinner tonight.
I’ve only ever had their drinks, so this was my first experience with their food. We got 3 flavors of wings - garlic parmesan, teriyaki, and their current specialty flavor - PB&J. We also got jalapeño cheese curds and an individual sausage pizza.
The sausage pizza was meant for my son, but actually ended up being our favorite of the items we ordered. The crust was really crispy on the outside, while chewy and soft in the inside. The sauce and sausage were also pretty delicious. I wish we had ordered a large. It’s a wonder that Brick Street is only known for casual beers and bar food when this pizza is so good. Maybe it’s the adjacency to Bernie’s that underplays it?
The jalapeño cheese curds were a typical bar food appetizer and as good as one would expect. The jalapeño flavor was pretty subtle, and tasted almost like a seasoning rather than actual jalapeños in the curds.
The wings were charred nicely and very tender and hot for carry out. What really undersold these next to the tasty pizza were the flavors. It took us a minute to decide which wing flavor was which... they were all extremely subtle, almost nonexistent. The PB&J wings in particular had no notes of jelly and only a hint of peanut butter taste. They tasted like naked wings. The garlic parm wings were similar - just a hint of garlic parm flavor, basically another naked wing. Out of the three flavors, I enjoyed the teriyaki. They had the most sauce and flavor, although I wished they had a bit more zing to them.
All in all it was a good, filling dinner of bar food. I wouldn’t get the wings again, but I’d love to go back to try a large pizza with additional toppings. Definitely a local hot spot for their drinks and friendly staff over anything. Glad to have...
Read moreI would give a zero if I could. We went in for their happy hour which turned out to be only one thing (a $10 domestic pitcher). We decided to stay anyway ordered some nachos,cheese curds and drinks which was fine. We eventually left with a tab somewhat unquestionable but I had drank that pitcher by myself so I was a little out of it. We eventually got home and I did the math of what I spent and it didn't add up. I told my husband we had to go back, and I had planned to act civilized but when I got there and I explained the situation,our waitress had the audacity to say it was an accident and it wasn't a "big deal" so i got furious and I told her how my husband and I were both military and how we have a set pay and can't just go work as a bartender on the weekend,so $20 we DIDN'T spend WAS a big deal. All she had to say was,"what does being in the military have to do with anything." They eventually showed us our actual receipt (after a couple eye rolls) and she ended it with saying "if you want to be respected as military you should act respectful" . This being said after I said nothing vile or insulting ,she had the audacity to say I wasn't being respectful, after being ROBBED!?we could have easily left never knowing how we were robbed,her excuse was "you signed your receipt" and I told her "YES because I trusted you!" That is the most unprofessional response I've ever received after situations like this (which hasn't been the first in other bars/ restaurants) . I am DISGUSTED by this locations response and behavior and to that waitress, I hope you're RETRAINED at the very least at how NOT to...
Read moreI have come here for drinks, the service has been nice, and all around a good time. The setup of the dart area is strange as it feels like a storage room back there. I ordered to-go food the other day, 12 buffalo wings, steak fries, and cheese curds. The steak fries were tasty, with a good amount of seasoning, about all that was good about the food. The cheese curds were bland, and the cheese wasn't even melted, it was still flash frozen. The wings probably hurt the most. The buffalo sauce was good. Although they tasted off, not sure if it's the supplier, or the way they store it. But a lot of gristle, and the chicken wasn't...
