Enjoyed the atmosphere and cocktails our steak was delicious. My complaint would be we ordered the side of mushrooms. These mushrooms looked nothing like I have ever seen. They were basically giant stems that resembled slugs but we thought we'd give it a try anyway. Basically chewing on rubber when we told the waiter he said "oh do you want me to take them' we said yes. When it came time for dessert he said he'd like to give us a piece of cheesecake neither of us wanted I preferred the cobbler . Long story short we were charged for the mushrooms and the cobbler. Other than that everything was fine. Think we will try somewhere else next time. read more

My husband & I came here for his birthday. The staff was very friendly. We were given complimentary scallops for an appetizer. I ordered the filet and lobster. It the best lobster I've ever had. Cooked to perfection. Our steaks were excellent and cooked perfectly. I would recommend this place to anyone and will definitely be back. They also gave him a birthday dessert! read more

We walked in and were delighted to see the option for no masks, if you were vaccinated. The servers were mostly unmasked. We are SO happy to see them be so progressive and as anxious as we were to "ditch" the masks. This is VERY important to us. In addition and the most important part--the food was excellent and the sirloin steak is HIGH on my list of the best steaks available! read more

This place was over priced and the food was super disappointing. I don't know how this place has the reviews that it does for such "meh" food that is so overpriced. Our server was really kind, that was the only redeeming thing. read more

When you pay the server has a card reader. I find this tacky at a fancy restaurant to have the server hovering over the customer as you select the tip amount. It would be better if done the old fashioned way. The mashed potatoes had too much butter and the steak was seasoned with a Himalayan type salt that was a bit much. With steaks ranging $35 to upwards of $75 per person, this needs to be perfection. The appetizers were good but garlic undercooked. Drinks overpriced for quality. Most likely won't go back here. I don't understand some restaurants that set high prices but their cooks are not top notch. Staff was kind minus the server giving off bad vibes when given a good tip. Off putting. read more

My wife and I had dinner last night with some close friends from Hood River. They were staying at the Oxford Hotel with their dog Lucy - Lucy is an English Springer Spaniel. We had reservations at the Brickhouse Steak & Seafood at 5:30pm and were lucky enough to grab a table outside for four. The Brickhouse is right across the street from the Oxford on the corner of 5 NW Minnesota St. and NW Lava Rd and although it is one of the best locations in town for a restaurant, over the years restaurants have come and gone. We have been fans of the Brickhouse for years and use to frequent their location in the Old Mill. I feel that the Brickhouse has the right combination of steak and seafood that really matches the décor and ambiance of their new location. Congratulations Brickhouse, you made the right move. Thanks for being a great part of our community. P.S. I had the porterhouse pork chop and my wife had the crab cakes; both were fantastic. I brought a bottle of Revana 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon which paired really well with our meals. Bananas foster for dessert. It was a great evening. read more

First Friday and the place want packed - should have known. Our service should have been stellar. We set down and had to wait for our waiter about ten minutes. Then he asked about drinks and took our drink order. Came back and forgot on persons beer (but didn't notice). Then asked about our order- my aunt asked about the specials of the evening. The waiter 'you didn't get those?'. He went through them flat with no marketing twist. How they were described did not sell it! One couple orders app, salad and steak. Asked for it all at once- but didn't come that way. Came in two courses. Oh and no beer yet. My husband orders seafood salad. Didn't come with dressing - had to ask four times before he got. We were almost done with dinner. He got free glass of wine but should have been a comp. Friends ordered steak med rare - it was more than rare. Baked potato was raw and cool. They didn't complain because last time they were there and did send food back meat came back burnt. Am I painting a picture- friends had experience similar. Service -!is why we as a party gave a 1 star. Food - halibut special amazing fish! Scallops s hit. Crab cakes - mediocre (but I'm a snob about crab cakes), seafood Louie salad in-inspired, how can you get halibut and scallops right (which is hard to do), but streak and potatoes you can't get right? We won't be back until a lot changes. And we live in Bend. There are other options that can figure out good food and service. read more

Just had an amazing dinner at Brickhouse! Emily was our server and she could not have done a better job. Very personable, helpful, and joyful. We ordered a filet mignon wrapped in bacon, it was perfectly cooked and so tender. We also had scallops that were amazing. Once again perfectly cooked and the glaze was delicious. The sides were also great. Desert was creme brûlée, absolutely perfect. It was a fantastic dinner celebrating our 38th anniversary. We will be back on our next trip to Bend. read more

The home of the $100 hamburger. Don't let that dissuade you. They make a great hamburger, best in town. I think it's $14 and even though it isn't always on the dinner menu, it's always available at the bar. What brings us to the $100 mark is the delicious drinks that go with.......you don't have to do that. You can get out of there for much, much less. Means you will have missed out on experiencing the talents of their very talented bartender, but you will have still had the best burger in town. We are also partial to the curried mussels. We always sit in the bar area because the chances of getting a seat without a reservation are better in the bar. I'm not sure we've ever eaten in the dining room itself, although it's certainly nice enough. Great wait staff. We've had the pleasure of both Jeff and Julie waiting on us. Attentive with a sense of humor. Perfect combination. read more

In the time that I've lived in Bend, the corner location in the old firehall has seen the arrival and departure of Staccato (pretty good) and Bourbon St. Grill (disappointing). I've learned not to get too attached to restaurants in this particular location. I'm a bit unclear on what makes this location so tricky. Situated directly across the street from the stylish Oxford Hotel (and around the corner from the only downtown parking garage), any restaurant in this location should be guaranteed a steady stream of potential one-time customers. So, like any restaurant in a tourist-saturated area like, say, the Old Mill area, the restaurant could simply coast on its ambience and location while charging premium prices to visitors rather than locals. Brickhouse seems to be making an attempt to serve locals as well as unsuspecting tourists drawn to its exposed-brick charm. They have a varied menu of comfort food and a varied bar selection. Their drinks menu is delivered on an iPad, and their menus packaged in oversized heavy leather. It seems like a high-end restaurant, but there's something missing. Service is consistently... neutral. The entire team, from the maitre d' team to the servers, delivers not-friendly-but-not-unfriendly service. They get the job done, with courtesy due to a paying customer, but I've never felt any real warmth from any of the staff. This is the same kind of vibe that you'll find in any nicer airport restaurant: attentive but remote. I sometimes use this location as a happy hour destination for group outings. It's never busy at that time and they have a nice set of banquette tables that can handle a group that grows over happy hour. Their happy hour menu has a selection of straightforward, if uninspired, offerings like onion rings, shrimp cocktail, steak quesidillas, fries, and chicken skewers. None of it rings my foodie bells, but it's satisfactory for the price. If I had to characterize a decision-making hierarchy for downtown Bend right now, I'd suggest foodies go to Zydeco or 900 Wall for the best food and service, Toomie's for the best Thai, or Dojo for the most-interesting Asian fusion. I might end up at the Brickhouse if I couldn't find a space anywhere else and didn't have the energy to go elsewhere near to the downtown core, say, to Spork. read more

Excellent food, sorry service. Waited 10 minutes to get served and then it was the bartender that came to our table. Had to ask for the wine list. Flagged down a busboy for some bread. No one ever checked to see if we needed more. Steaks were great but no one stopped to see if we had everything we needed. There were at least 8 people standing around visiting. We didn't feel appreciated and will Not return. A waste of an evening and $125.00 read more

Great steakhouse. In fact I think of it as the only really dedicated steakhouse in Bend. The steak menu is very good. The best cuts and all the add-ons you would want. Their wine list is extensive and presented to you on an iPad which makes narrowing down your selection a breeze. We liked the wine we chose so much we ended up ordering a case from Fred Meyer the next day. The service has always been top shelf and the ambiance in the new Firehall location is very nice. I have only two nit picky points about our last visit. Our steaks were delivered to us on the luke warm side. Not cold. But they could have been hotter. Next, the noise level in the back room was a bit high. Once the bachelorette party left it was better but you could still tell it was an issue. Those two items are all that kept me from a 5 star rating. read more

Always have a wonderful experience at the Brickhouse. Tonight was no different. Friendly and knowledgeable service and top notch eats! No one was disappointed. Very enjoyable evening, will be back! read more

Brickhouse - Sea Scallops with Truffle Fries, Yum! - American Near Me - Bend, Oregon

TL;DR There are better steak places in Bend that you can get better steak for less. The economy must be shit. Its a funny thing about going to a steak house and being disappointed even though you empty out your bank account. I say the economy must be shit because this place is charging HUNDREDS of dollars a person for the most meager portions. I am well aware of how expensive steak can be, but at least load on the sides! Anyway... I went here with a party of 5. I was the one not paying so I ordered the single least expensive thing on the menu: Fish and Chips. Everyone else got a filet mignon or rib eye (2 rare, 2 mid rare). When the food came to the table, there was a noticeable sense of shock at how small the portions were. Except my fish and chips, which was massive. I felt bad, cause I was the only one who actually was pleased with the way my plate looked. I also felt bad because it was the cheapest thing on the table. It was pretty good though. I could mention something about the snobbyness of the place but whatever. 3 stars, really 2.5 for the cost vs what you get. The steaks were just meh. read more

They will not split checks for a group of 10. Even though we spent $450 dollars. and often more on other occasions. We were planning on having another celebration there in a couple more days for another friends birthday. We are adult couple's... of course we'd want to split our checks. Other than this the food is great. Service is okay most of the time. This particular visit I was never asked for a beverage. Ill likely visit again and give them another shot. However, Groups beware.... read more

I had dinner here last week for the first time since they moved to the new location. The atmosphere is great, but I think they maybe are stretching themselves a little too much now. The service wasn't great like it used to be, in fact our server was down right annoying and overwhelmed. The food was just ok. I still haven't found an amazing steak in Bend, and I would say this one is good but extremely expensive. I am willing to pay a lot for an amazing steak, but when it's just ok I don't really like paying a premium price for it. They have a great drink menu, huge wine selection, decent beer selection(it's Bend, you have to have good beer), and a good bourbon list too. My wife and I decided it is a great place to catch a cocktail hour or do some apps, but the value just isn't there for the food so we will walk another block or two after drinks to get a meal we'll love. read more

I'm not entirely sure why there are so many 4-star reviews for a 5-star restaurant. Maybe they had to work out some issues? We ended up here on a Sunday night because our first choice, The Blacksmith, was not serving food after 8:30pm and my spouse steered us toward another restaurant - 900 Wall? It was around the corner and had pretty light fixtures - and didn't double-check the name of the restaurant so we unintentionally ended up at Brickhouse. And I am glad that serendipity intervened. Food was phenomenal, and our server (Aaron S.) knew where the ingredients were sourced and was eager to discuss the details. Nice! He was also patient. I had the seafood linguine, with the beef carpaccio to start. It would be very hard to order other things on the menu, now that I've had both these things, because they were outstanding and I'd want to order them again. Spouse had the ribeye and a wedge salad to start. This is where the patience of our server came in, because the spouse is verrrry particular about doneness, and the difference between rare/medium rare, and was waffling about what he'd eat to start with. So a sixty second order took about four minutes, and Aaron didn't even roll his eyes (which I was doing). Restaurant staff who deal well with our kid in the spectrum are a rare and wonderful thing. I was initially sure the woman who seated us was giving us attitude, but I may have been overthinking things and every staff member was wonderful. They were all dealing with some drunks on a Sunday night. And this was the most impressive part: They were accommodating with the slurring group of wine-guzzlers sitting outside on the sidewalk, but I watched them very nicely cut them off. Very well-handled, very professional. Most restaurants would have just 86'd this group, or put up with the obnoxious jerks as the other customers were scared away. And, again, this was a Sunday night. Who the hell gets sh*t-faced on a Sunday night? The space is flipping gorgeous, too. It may get loud at times, just from the acoustics. Seems like a minor negative. This is the sort of place that would do well in Mill Valley or Santa Monica. We have yet to have a mediocre meal in Bend, but this place is our favorite so far. read more

This place had the absolute best scallops that I have ever had! The service was a little bit slow, but the food absolutely made up for it.

Yuck. What were we doing here?! They sat us in the back room with two other tables that cleared out and then we were all alone. My husband got "a steak". I don't remember what he ordered. But it was salty. Like really salty. I got a fish special which was a deviation of steak for me. The seared ahi was OK, it wasn't salty which is common, but it also didn't taste like anything. They also have a terrible wine selection. We came on the heels of good bottles at a local wine shop. I tried one rose and it was so sweet, I couldn't drink it. I asked to change it and chose a Pinot Gris of the winery I hate but figured it'd be better than the sugar bomb rose. Also terrible. Our server never checked on us in our deserted back room. This was the worst experience and very, very mediocre dinner. We will never be back. read more

We only had coffee and dessert here for our anniversary. I'm not a big bread pudding fan, but theirs was probably one of the best I've had!! But way better than the dessert was the staff's welcoming attitude, spirit and the friendly vibes!! I'm definitely going back for the entrees next time!!! read more

We had friends in from Canada and the gal wanted steak and potatoes! We got exactly what we wanted! She had the filet with mashed potatoes and a ceasar salad. I had the filet Oscar which was delightful. We started with the tempura zucchini which I did not expect to be that good!! Also started with the steamers and they were perfect!! Other items ordered with zero complaints were cioppino and peppered New York steak! Finished with creme brulee and marionberry cobbler! I don't always write reviews but I do when it is worthy! read more

Host counter was friendly. Stopped in without a reservation. Only had a 10-15 minute wait on a busy night downtown on a Saturday. Food was amazing. I had a seafood pasta that was packed with seafood. More than I expected to see in it. I would come back solely on the food. Our waitress, Carol was the downer in the night. Never really asked us what we wanted for drinks. My GF had to ask her for hers. She brought us drinks that we didn't order.. She was supposed to bring out another menu. She then returned in a lengthy time to take our order. Once that came out, we seen her once. She didn't bring our food or our drink. She took our order, checked on us once and then had to be asked for our check. This was a random stop for us, didn't know where we would end up at. It says casual attire.. We might have been a little under dressed, but if that is why she treated us that way, then she knows why she got the tip she did. I watched the waiter serving tables around us.. Would rather have him. Great food, awesome looking place, nice atmosphere, just don't get Carol as your server. read more

Excellent food, not much more to say than that!! Atmosphere was nice, a bit loud the night we were there.

Visiting Bend Oregon on a golf vacation. 4 of us stopped by this place for a nice dinner and was extremely dissatisfied. 3 of us ordered steaks, in which everyone of them was over cooked. I started off with a cocktail in which I hoped to order a bottle of wine, but unfortunately no server or manager ever stopped by the table until we were done eating. We finally asked for a manager to inform him of our experience, but the damage was already done. Expensive tab for sub par service and overcooked food. read more

Our favorite restaurant in Bend! Consistently amazing food, service, bar. The steaks are the best in town!!!

I got the steak pasta and it was amazing! Great atmosphere and even better food and drinks.

My husband and I came here to celebrate our 4 year anniversary with our son. Horrible experience!! I want to start with the amazing part... hence the stars. The huckleberry lemon drop was delicious, the ambiance is very nice, the plate presentation was excellent! The Ahi was excellent, the hostess was sweet. But the service was HORRIBLE!! Natasha was our server and she took a while to get to the table, had zero personality, was not well spoken at all, good luck getting more than your first cocktail!!! Or more water. Needed more dressing, but she never came back to the table, dirty plates sat until 15-20 minutes later. I had to finally get up from the table to ask the manager (who was very nice) for our check! All the while we watched her wash dishes behind the bar. The zucchini and truffle fries are very greasy, do not get them! I used to manage a restaurant in Newport Beach for 13 years and this girl would be fired in a heartbeat! We also called for reservation at 7:00 and got voicemail so had to just show up. read more

good service great drinks no wow factor on the food just ok and it was expensive. hhb

Great service (hostess was sweet and accommodating, server knew the menu, bus boy always had my water glass full), lovely selection of food items (classic steakhouse), delicious flavors and decent presentation. My pasta primavera was simple and full of colorful roasted vegetables, my date's Caesar salad was perfectly dressed and the chicken added was quite flavorful. The chocolate lava cake was served straight from the oven - hot and gooey. You know those times when you just want to find a classic white t-shirt or simple black dress to wear? Should be easy to find the basics, right? It's the hardest thing! So it goes with the local restaurants - at times, I get bored with the fads and just want a solid meal made with expertise. Last night at the Brickhouse, they landed these classics well. I'll be back! read more

I had the pork chop Monday night and it was tender and great flavor. Tuesday had the sirloin steak which was very flavorful. Followed later in the evening with the Marion Berry cobbler. This was very scrumptious. read more

This place is a five star establishment. No gluten free menu but they were able to tell me what I could eat and made me a GF dish that was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Very specialized and the meat was extremely high quality. We ate the Filet Mignon Oscar with crab. We added shrimp to it and also a side salad. Cocktails too. ALL delicious. Spent quite a bit of time with the manager (Thomas) who shared his goals for quality and great dining experiences. What a great guy! Hostess friendly and Emily (server) was an absolute sweetie. read more

Not sure why this place doesn't have very good reviews, but we LOVED this place when we visited in December (2014). I got the scallops, and they were AMAZING. I get scallops A LOT, pretty much at any fancy restaurant I go to, and by far, these scallops were my most favorite- ever. My fiancé (then boyfriend) got the steak and added on the shrimp. The shrimp was TO DIE FOR. We also get shrimp a lot of places and they were the best we have ever had. The clam chowder was creamy and flavorful, and the Cesar salad was extremely fresh. We couldn't decide which dessert to go with, so we chose two. We were extremely happy with the salted Carmel cheesecake and bananas fosters. We make this a must stop place, every time we visit OR (we are from California). read more
