    Fried zucchini, the ranch tasted homemade.
    Victoria T.

    We went out for girls night here and had a good time! I felt that they were pretty handicap accessible, had big portions, with a good wine and beer list. The noise was a bit loud and the decor seemed a little dated. Overall the pros outweigh these, the service was solid, and we had a fun! 1. Parking Parking lot with 2 handicap spots. Also easy walkway from the handicap spots into the restaurant. Easy to pull into from the street if coming from 99. I would suggest not trying to back out to the street when leaving however and instead we went through the parking lot, made a left at the ally and from there make a turn from the stop sign at Main Street. 2. Menu: Every thing we ordered was delicious. They had a large wine and beer menu. The blonde beer was ice cold and light for a summer drink. The house red was pretty mellow and very full bodied. The Sauvignon Blanc wasn't too sweet and had a hint of vanilla. The portion sizes of the meals were huge. None of could finish our plates! The bread is extra at 6 dollars, but worth it mainly due to the garlic/chive butter with it. We also ordered the fried zucchini as an appetizer - it was hot and crispy. The zucchini and breading were not soggy at all, and the breading stuck perfectly (these are common issues I've had at other places with fried zucchini) The ribeye was cooked perfectly and was incredibly tender. My friend pointed out that this was a very large piece a bit on the thinner side- they may have pounded it out to tenderize it is our guess. The farmer special was our favorite. It was a braised short rib and you could order it with pasta however we did it with the polenta. It was so very tender and savory. Came with a lot of polenta and it was very cheesy with Parmesan. The linguine and clams had both shelled and unshelled clams. I felt that there could have been more meat for the clam to pasta ratio. It was full of garlic and the cream sauce was zesty. 3. Atmosphere: It's a decent sized building, with a nice big bar in the front a smaller room to the left and a larger room in the back. There was plenty of seating for if you needed to wait. The walkways were wide and it was easy to move around, so no issues using a walker here and I would guess a wheelchair should be fine. The backroom had big booth seats, and would probably be good for large groups and families. The decor seemed a little dated and there was a jukebox in the smaller room, which although we were seated in the back was very loud and at the beginning of our experience it was hard to hear each other and was distracting. During this time the music kept switching songs every 10 to 30 seconds. I inquired why, and every Tuesday night they do "Music Bingo". So that could be a plus for some people, who want a more laid back atmosphere and enjoy a community game! The people in the front of the restaurant seemed to really enjoy it! However I would say if you are planning a quiet evening out or a first time date, you may want to come any other night but Tuesday. 4. Service: All our food and drinks come out in an appropriate time. Drinks were cold and food was hot! Our server made sure we had everything we needed and the manager even come by to check on us. I do love the brick building and how it's on old Elk Grove. We will be back!

    Bread pudding with vanilla ice cream
    Mia M.

    We have lived in Elk Grove for over 8 years now and we always say were going to come and eat here and finally we were able to do so. We sat down in the bar area (kid free for the night). Upon arrival we ordered our drinks and had no idea where to begin so we asked our waitress what she recommended-sautéed mushrooms(if you're a mushroom lover this is what you need to order) as an appetizer and Beef Stroganoff (enough food to feed 2, the pasta was freshly made too ) as our main dish Chris the manager approached us and welcomed us. Immediately my dodger fan husband began a conversation with him and the rest is history. We ended with the bread pudding with vanilla ice cream drizzled with Caramel and OMG it was heaven so good I might order this first next time. Our first visit will definitely not be our last.

    Prime rib and farmers special
    Annaise R.

    I was craving a good hearty meal. This place is always good for that our favorite is always the farmer special. But I tried their prime rib this time and it was pretty good.

    Maxine P.

    In the area for a ProbPickleball Tournament and staying in Elk Grove with family. Decided to go out for a birthday dinner with husband. We ordered full rack of ribs and vegetable side and bread to share. The ribs were fairly good with a mustard sauce and bbq sauce to add. The vegetables were tasty and between ribs and veggies we had more than enough food. The server was efficient and brought our meal out hot. Ambiance had not changed much from years ago. They have a parking area next to restaurant which is convenient in Old town.

    Filet mignon and mashed potatoes
    Jeremy C.

    We found this place and it looked pretty good. We got there and had to wait about 10 minutes. The place was pretty busy around the bar area. They sat us in the back restaurant where it was much quieter. The waitress was great. Grabbed our drink order right away and then came back and took our food order. I got an old fashioned and I gotta say. They can make some good ones. I ordered the filet mignon and it was absolutely cooked perfect. Their mashed potato's is a huge portion and very tasty as well.

    Bread pudding

    First time dining here, and we already plan on coming back! We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. We ordered the clam chowder, fettuccine Alfredo, chicken Marsala, lamb chops, and prime rib French dip. Everything was delicious and well prepared. We ended our meal with the bread pudding and tiramisu, and the bread pudding was absolutely fantastic! Our server, Elaine, was attentive, friendly, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. The hostess was also very welcoming, and we were seated promptly. We also had the pleasure of meeting Chris, the manager, who was incredibly friendly and shared some interesting background about the restaurant's history. His recommendations were excellent and added a nice personal touch to our experience. One thing we really enjoyed was the variety of dining areas. There's a bar area, a front dining area with a nice window setting, and a back dining area that offers a more intimate atmosphere. We had the pleasure to dine in the back and really enjoyed the ambiance and artwork--it made for a relaxing and enjoyable dinner. Overall, great food, excellent service, a welcoming staff, and a beautiful atmosphere. We had a fantastic first visit and are already looking forward to coming back!

    I haven't been to Brick House Restaurant in a few years, 4-5 years. For appearance sake it's the same. Brick building, older vintage vibes, nice interior, great parking and I love the talking security cameras and signs posted in the lot. I opted to sit in the bar and watch football, 49er's vs Sea Hawks. There was a group of men and two women there drinking and a collaborating about something, maybe fantasy football, IDK. They were a bit spicy but the bar wait staff handled it; they are on top of it which I appreciate. I was greeted immediately by a hostess offered dining room or bar seating; I chose a pub table in the car. The bar staff were very friendly and welcoming, attentive and represented the restaurant bar professionally. Big plus! I had hot, fresh baked bread served with garlic butter, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Delish! My main course was Beef Stroganoff, also excellent. Diet Pepsi was my beverage; bar staff kept my glass full and checked on me regularly. It was an excellent meal: hot, fresh and flavorful, huge portion with leftovers for lunch tomorrow. The meat beef was amazing. If you want soup or salad it's extra as was the bread. The meal plus a good tip seemed pricy especially for one person. But the cost of everything has gone up and I haven't been out for fine dining in sometime. I like to treat myself well, and this dinner was delicious and exactly what I needed. Big kudos, again, for customer service from Tahnee (sp?) and Melissa.

    Fried Calamari
    Lauren C.

    Husband brought us here to celebrate my birthday. The have the bar area in front with the dining room area in the back with cozy booths with a nice ambiance. We had the farmer's special with polenta, the prime rib, pappardelle pasta, the fried calamari, and vegetable side. It was our first time here, and everything was amazing! Polenta was super creamy and well balanced with the meat. Husband loved the prime rib and horseradish. We both agreed though our favorite dish was the pasta! Great service too! JJ was our server, and the manager, Chris as well checked in on every table to make sure everyone was having a good experience. When Chris heard it was my birthday, he also had a cheesecake included on the house too. We'll definitely plan to come back again in the near future!

    This lady as the rest of the staff are remarkable
    Nancy F.

    I have been coming to this wonderful restaurant for years. The staff is unbelievable Awesomeness. I have never been disappointed with anything, lord knows I am picky. They all go beyond to do what they can for all as quick as possible. I have been in customer service as a stylist for 45yrs, I know quality when I see and experience it. Thank you Brickhouse in Elk Grove for being the beautiful people you all are. I am very bless to be apart of this family.

    House salad
    Eric W.

    We decided to try out Brick House on a whim after going to the Thrift Market on Old Town Plaza. The atmosphere is comfortable and familiar even if you've never been. We didn't have a large appetite so we shared a house salad that was loaded with fresh veggies and a creamy Italian dressing. Then we split the seafood pesto dish as our main entree. It came out piping hot and fresh. The manager even stopped by to greet us and talk for a few minutes! The portions were plentiful and satisfying. We would definitely return again!

    Garlic bread
    Gina G.

    Wow. We drove from 35 minutes away to try a new place and we were blown away. The food is impeccable. Our party of 6 has the pesto pasta, the short ribs with polenta, prime rib, and appetizers. We also ordered sides of mashed potatoes (eh) and pesto pasta (AMAZING). The portions were generous and every one of us had to get a to-go box. We were stuffed but equally happy that we ordered dessert anyway. The bread pudding was our favorite but the apple crisp was also stellar. Kind of a steakhouse vibe but also casual dining. We enjoyed the ambiance and service. The manager Chris came around and checked on us in addition to our server. We will be telling friends about this find and we will be back!

    Sherril S.

    Came here tonight for a Friendsmas Gathering for 6. They sat us in the front for the main dining space was reserved for a private party. We actually really loved where we were seated - by the decorated window, Christmas tree and had a spacious table and comfortable chairs. We ordered a the Calamari, Fried Zucchini, Meatballs, House Salad, Seafood Pasta, Loaf of bread with the trimmings. We ordered the lemon drop, some blood orange drink, and beer. Everything was on point :) we really enjoyed the Pesto Seafood Pasta and will highly recommend this dish. The sauce was perfection. Desserts were also yummy. We had the tiramisu and some kind of pie that was just heavenly Service was excellent and our was host - Lane (excuse the spelling) . She was attentive, kind and super sweet. She checked on us often but also allowed us space to do our mini table games and gift exchange. Thank you so much Brickhouse Staff for having us. Will definitely come again!

    Ribeye steak perfectly cooked! The roasted garlic was amazing!!
    Frankie X.

    Another Great Experience. I had planned to order the Beef Stroganoff because many locals have recommended it. I ordered the Ribeye steak only because the folks on the next tale ordered it and it smelled amazing!! Our Ribeye was awesome!

    Pancetta Fries, so cheesy!

    See all

    Unfortunately, no. You can call us at 916-714-0840 after opening (2pm Tues-Sat) and we can let you know our availability.

    For date night my wife and I wanted adult beverages at a local venue. A quick search suggested the…read moreVelvet Martini Lounge, which is located 15 minutes from our home. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a full parking lot...which is always a good sign. Upon entering what we thought was the Velvet Martini Lounge, we were greeted by an employee named Matt. Matt was very friendly and understanding when he realized that we intended on being in the Velvet Martini Lounge, not the Sheldon Inn Restaurant. He went above and beyond by introducing us to an employee who worked at the Velvet Martini Lounge and escorted us upstairs to the lounge. Upon being seated at the lounge, we were greeted by server James, who provided us with menus. Our sole purpose was to connect solely over adult beverages, so we both placed orders for drinks. My wife ordered the Big Shot Martini with blue cheese stuffed olives, and I ordered the Havana Haze (a rum-based drink). As we slowly sipped our drinks, we enjoyed our date night in the dimly lit, romantic ambience of the lounge. The background music was played at a perfect volume to where you could hear the music as equally as you could hear the individual(s) talking at your table. James did a great job of not being a "helicopter server" by periodically checking in on us. We intended on ordering a second round, but the drinks were so deliciously stiff (a sneaky stiff) that we decided it would be a wise decision to end the night. I cannot wait to make a return visit to celebrate one of our monthly anniversaries, I recommend checking out Velvet Martini Lounge!

    We came here on a Friday night to find that this cocktail bar is located on the second floor of the…read moreSheldon Inn. We took a flight of stairs up and found the lounge bar and were able to get some open seats for drinks. The servers were friendly and got us waters and bread right away. We ordered the Dirty Sidecar and the French Prince. The drinks were okay, but we decided to get the espresso martini since we figured if the place is called Velvet Martini, maybe they specialize in Martinis. The espresso martini was the best cocktail out of the 3 we ordered and we were glad we got it to redeem the other drinks. There was a good amount of people here, some out celebrating birthdays, some on dates, and some tables of friends just hanging out and having food and drinks. There was also an outdoor area from the restaurant below which seemed to have a nice dinner setting. I would say the velvet martini is worth coming by if you're in the area and looking for drinks, but it is in a much more secluded area.
