BJ's Brick Pit House — Restaurant in Rosholt

I wouldn't normally dole out 5 star reviews, but in comparison to other Central Wisconsin bar restaurants this place deserves it. I ordered the Cajun walleye and shrimp combo and sampled some ribs. Everything was done perfectly, the baked beans as a side were fantastic. I tore apart the shrimp tails to get out every little bit of succulent meat and the ribs were the picture of perfection. My friend's salad was a much higher quality than you'd get elsewhere. The prices and portions were right on par as well. Another appealing thing about this place was the cleanliness. It is typical to most places you'd grab a drink and a fry on a Friday night, but not because it is extremely well maintained. A bonus is the small outdoor deck overlooking Rosholt's Main Street. The bottom line is I will definitely be telling my friends and coming back with my family to sample more barbecue and have another fish fry. If I had to suggest an improvement to the Brick Pit House I'd say a greater selection of local beers. Just a heads up, the owner did mention they shut down for a couple months in winter starting around Christmas time. Enough said. Do yourself a favor and give this place a whirl. If you don't live in Rosholt it is...

We went to BJ's Brick Pit House and arrived around 8:20pm on a Saturday evening for dinner. We were meeting a friend who was about 10 minutes from getting there. I was informed multiple times that the kitchen closes at 9pm, and I assured them that our whole party would be there by then and we would order well before 9pm. Suddenly at 8:31pm one of the kitchen help came and told me that the kitchen was closing early due to karaoke. I advised her that our third person would be there any second, to which they told us we had to order immediately or we wouldn't be served food. I didn't want to order food and then our third person not be able to eat so we didn't order. About two minutes later our third person arrived and I asked again and they said the kitchen was closed so we couldn't order anything. We walked down the Flume Creek for dinner and they were much more...

The brick pit for years was a special treat I would take friends to an out of the way dive with awesome bbq. A real treat:). Covid came and went and I peeked my head in after moving away and helping a friend work on her first house she bought. I had heard the place had been for sale for a bit and was hoping that low and slow brisket and fall off the bone ribs would still be there. We were not disappointed. Bbq gods intervened and the perfect couple are the new proprietors. In ever way they exceeded what was a wonderful food experience. The husband is a maestro in the kitchen and stepped it up a notch while his better half up front went out of her way to make us feel welcome. There's few reasons to visit a small town like Rosholt these days; BJ's brick house is the reason you'll enjoy doing it. Treat yourself to food...
