Had the Cowboy Burger which was super tasty. Enjoyed the place! If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and visit!
Very delicious food in a nice atmosphere! Red Brick Ale House was a nice place to grab a bite later in the night. The bar area was large and packed. The dining area was huge and packed but the tables were nicely spaced apart so it wasn’t cramped. The lady that was signing in the restaurant on the night we visited had the place rocking and was enjoyable listening to her beautiful voice. The service was attentive and friendly and the food was fantastic! I would definitely recommend stopping in this place at night!
We enjoyed our dinner here, and would come back. The Brussel prouts was mostly the loose leaves, like not a lot of the actual entire Brussel sprout but tasted good. The burger was cooked to order , the fries were perfect, and the pizza was good as well. I’d come back, but I think I’d order the pizza well done so that the bottom has some char to it.
I have eaten here over a dozen times and every time its great. I have sat at a table and the bar. Service is great no matter where you sit. I have ordered my way through most of the entrees and not once was I disappointed. The food is top tier and come out quickly. If you order an entree that comes with a side salad make sure you specify what dressing you want because they really want to bring you balsamic.
We tried this place through the recommendation of my sister-in-law and were really pleased. We were greeted by a friendly hostess and assisted by a great team of staff members. The place was busy and bustling, and had a cool, comfortable, warm vibe. We definitely enjoyed our food which came out in no time, were sizable portions, and delicious. This included the eggplant tower, cheeseburger and fries, margherita pizza, fish and chips, pulled pork sandwich, and brussel sprouts. The beer (Angry Orchard) my husband ordered to accompany his meal was only $5! A place to add to your list if you happen to be in the area.
