Bricks was recommended to us by a winery we had visited. Old Town Placerville. We were seated immediately with our menus. Server came by with water pretty quickly. We ordered a Beet Goat Cheese salad, panko crusted fried green tomatoes over grits and an ahi tuna lettuce wrap, all to share. The salad was fabulous. Whatever the dressing was, it didn't over power the greens. The fried green tomatoes were ok. The grits kind of ruined the flavor of the tomatoes. If I ordered this again, I would ask to not have the grits included. The Ahi Tuna wrap was not what we expected at all. Thought we would have some nice ahi wrapped in small lettuce leaves with all the veggies that goes with something like this. The pineapple salsa was delicious. We got three huge helpings of ahi tuna....too much. We were never able to pick it up and eat it like a lettuce wrap. The tuna was good, but we ended up not being able to eat this huge serving and we felt bad so much would be thrown out. Would probably not order this again. We had a great server and the restaurant had a nice comfortable vibe to it. We might come back sometime and try something else read more

We stopped here on our way home from Lake Tahoe. We'd had an additional 1.5 hours added to our drive due to a massive boulder on highway 50 so by the time we arrived in Placerville, our family was hungry! Atmosphere: I love the brick walls and the decor. There are several beautiful pictures throughout the restaurant of Placerville. My 5 year old said, "Hey, those pictures are of this place!". Service: great! We were seated immediately and orders taken quickly. Our drinks and food came out without too long of a wait. My daughter's dinner came with garlic cheese bread which unfortunately she does not like cheese. Our server quickly remedied the situation and brought out a piece of buttered toast which my child enjoyed. Food: I had the cheeseburger with fries. The burger was cooked just the way I had ordered it (med/well) and the fries were yummy. My husband ordered the ribs which he said were not bad considering they weren't barbecued. Our five year old really liked the ribs. She didn't touch her kid's tenders but I think it was because she preferred the ribs. We both had the brown ale which hit the spot! Overall: I definitely recommend stopping by here for a meal. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming; the staff are friendly; and the food is good. read more

Stopped for lunch yesterday (Tues)about 1pm. Parking on the street was easy, not the case on summer weekends. On Main street and seating is available in the bar area or dining (windows facing the street) I had Darcy Burger, blue cheese, bacon, fried onions, avocado,hot sauce, brioche bun. Not the best burger, the hot sauce overwhelmed the assembly. Side salad with blue cheese was good. The Mrs had a Vegetarian sandwich,Dutch crunch, cucumber, Havarti, lettuce, tomatoes, special sauce. French onion soup as a side,both were filling, not spectacular. May have not ordered their best items,will try again for dinner. Service and employees we're attentive. read more

I've heard great things about this place. So I figure try it. Hostess wasn't particularly friendly. Bar tender was good. Asked her to surprise me with something non-carbonated and sweet. She nailed it with a Mai Tai. The happy hour pot stickers taste exactly like the bag for get from Grocery Outlet but you don't get the whole bag for 10 bucks. You get 5. lol It was slightly busy but loud as hell! Casual place. I like casual. And way more classy than the tweakers at Liars Bench! I'll be back to enjoy another Mai Tai and watch some football! read more

Food was great! I had the vegetable lasagna and it was amazing! The tomato sauce was bright and the veggies were tasty. It came with a side of cheese bread. We also had an appetizer of brussel sprouts and they were well cooked. The server was attentive and let a friend sample a couple of brews before selecting a beer. It was pretty noisy but it was Saturday night so that's to be expected. read more

My family and I stopped here for lunch on our way back from Tahoe. The food was quick to come out, hot, and very good. The only complaint we had was our server. She had an unrecognizable accent and was very rude when I tried asking her any questions. read more

Very quaint scenery in the heart of old town Placerville. Service was amazing and the food was even better! I'm a sucker for a good breakfast burger, and this one was actually open faced which I liked. If you think you like espresso martinis, then you have to try their chai-tini!! it is incredible & now I don't think I can look at an espresso martini the same. read more

We really enjoyed this place! Great server with lots of beer knowledge. Noisy but still able to talk. Hubs enjoyed his jambalaya. I am gluten free. Half rack of chipotle sauce ribs is GF and delicious. Just sub out fries because they are not GF. We will return!!! read more

The place was charming .... Food was awesome BUT the service was outstanding. !! So sorry I did get the servers name .. a lovely lady who made us feel welcome ....

So each time I go to Bricks now I always add that to my favs !!! Cheers read more

One of our favorite restaurants. The food is amazing, the staff is great and it just has an overall great atmosphere. We have tried everything from their salads, fish and chips, crab cakes and burgers. We never walk away disappointed. read more

I was hoping this place would of been a solid 5 pointer but it was more of a brick. Never been to this lil strip out here in Placerville. Was starving after a disappointed trip to apple hill. This place had lots of good reviews so we decided to check it out. First off I do wanna say that the customer service was top notch A-1 idk our waitress name but she was excellent, always had a smile talked to us in a very welcoming way and gave us great service. I ordered the pastrami burger, my wife ordered the Santa fe turkey sandwich and my daughter got the chicken strip and fries. The burger was ok i really couldn't taste the pastrami, my bun was really soggy and I had ordered my burger medium rare but it looked well done. The patty didn't taste like it was seasoned. The fries were good, our waitress did bring us ranch. My wife loved her sandwich but, if she liked it so much she can do her own review THIS IS MY REVIEW! Lol she dont yelp so ehhh. I wouldn't mind coming back and giving this place another try. I did pay 20 bucks for the burger so I kinda expected a lil more bang for my bite! My daughter didnt eat her chicken strips. Put fries in front of her and thats all she'll eat, she gonna have to open her horizons if she wants to be a future yelper lol. read more

This place has a nice selection of beers and food! The big downside is their fast pass system. We were just about to sit and someone with a fast pass announced he had a fast pass so we awkwardly just stood there as they took our seats. No verification needed. Pretty dumb to be honest. This was on a Friday night. Their website even said that fast passes aren't being accepted so no reason to call to get a fast pass. Anyways, the food is worth it. The loaded tots and the one pound wings were great! The wings were cooked perfectly, fall off the bone, so good. The burger was not bad, got the Darcy burger, the half pound patty was a bit dry for some reason for a medium rare. Fries were nice, with some random onion rings in them. Got their hazy ipa which was soooo smooth and not bitter. The waiter was super on top of everything and quick. Stop by so many times to top off drinks. Good vibes. Overall, great food but crappy hostess/fast pass system. read more

My favorite lunch/dinner spot in Placerville. It had been several years since I last ate here but fortunately the menu hadn't changed and still featured the sweet potato "planks" and fried green tomatoes we always order. Their salads are excellent, too. The restaurant was crowded (it also tends to be noisy) but our server was efficient and she was extremely accommodating. Whenever I'm in town, I'll make a point of eating at Bricks. read more

I can recommend with with a few reservations. After an afternoon in Apple Hill, our party of 7 decided on dinner at Bricks. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming and comfy. We started with the loaded tater tots which all of us loved but our dinners were a let down. My 10 year old nephew, who ordered the kid's burger enjoyed his dinner and had no complaints. My husband ordered the Jambalaya and thought it was just okay. My daughter ordered the Filet Mignon and thought the steak itself was good but the bearnaise sauce was excessively sweet. My parents split the Ribeye and proclaimed it was the most grizzly steak they'd ever tried to eat. I ordered the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and wasn't impressed. The gravy itself had the texture and mouth feel of melted American cheese slices, that gluey, kind of plastic-y texture and really didn't taste like anything. The meatloaf itself was under seasoned and tough. We ordered two desserts; the red velvet cake, which I didn't try but heard no complaints from those that did. I ordered the white chocolate and coconut mousse drizzled with chocolate port and loved it. I'm willing to give them another chance as the burgers and salads that went by looked great. Perhaps if we had stuck to soup/salad and burgers we'd have had a different experience. However, the gravy on the meatloaf and the bearnaise sauce on my daughter's steak leads me to not recommend anything with gravy or sauces that might require skill in building. I find it hard to believe that a chef would send anything like what we had out of a kitchen with a straight face. They need to go back to the drawing board with their sauce/gravy making. read more

It's cute and we had high hopes but overall it was a miss. It took 30 minutes after ordering food and appetizers to get our appetizer. The dip was oily and just ok. After another 25 minutes we got our food. My husband liked his Reuben. However the French onion soup I ordered was watered down and lacked flavor. It tasted like they boiled onions in water and a beef bouillon cube. I would give the soup a 1, the Reuben a 4, and the dip a 3. The service was a 1 as well. My water was empty for most of the visit. The server was nice but not attentive. She may have been overwhelmed. read more

The food was delicious and our server Carver was amazing. He went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. Will definitely be back. read more

Food was really good! Service was ok, I got 2 different drinks dripped on me by 2 different waitresses, 1 each leg. The ketchup they brought me literally exploded all over me and the table. If I ever come back, I'll get food to go for sure...I don't always wear dark clothes to cover up the messes! read more

Ordered lots of food. French dip, fish and chips and pulled pork. Everything dry and tasteless. For what we spent and ate.... Not worth it. Ugh read more

We don't make it to downtown Placerville very often but when we do Bricks is always a solid choice. Great atmosphere and selection of sandwiches and entrees. We had a French Dip, a Pastrami Reuben, and the Darcy burger. Our server was really great, friendly with super attention to detail. We'll definitely be back! read more

Great happy hour and appetizers. Also have a pretty good pulled pork sandwich. Makes a great spot for a low key date night

Loved Bricks food prior to today! So disappointed in the food we ordered. Appetizer - Garlic bread - opened bread put cheese on it and gave to us. Not even a little warm. We ordered 2 New York Steaks with mushrooms and onions. Onions not cooked and steak full of fat. The Augratin potatoes were cold. The Caesar salad came at the same time as the dinner and were awful full of garnish. Somebody needs to fix whomever is in the kitchen. Been here many times before and loved the food. Today was absolutely awful! read more

We are relatively new to the area having purchased a house in Placerville. We decided to stop by Brick's for drinks and dessert after having dinner elsewhere. Our server and bartender Casey was friendly and attentive. We had the red velvet cake for our dessert. It was fantastic! The interior decor was nicely done with tasteful pictures. The ambiance is casual and relaxing. We will definitely be back to try some of their main dishes and food items along with some drinks. read more

Came in for dinner after a day adventuring in the high Sierra's. Service was very good, decor was attractive, food was amazing! I had the cavatapi pasta. The chicken in it was perfect. Instead of a few large pieces just placed on top, it was sliced thinner and mixed in so that it also had the flavors of the wonderful sauce. I personally hate when a dish includes bacon, and the bacon is just tiny hard bits. The bacon was perfect in this! The garlic cheese bread was plentiful, and I had dinner last night, lunch today, and still some left over. As an artichoke liver, I'd have liked a few more of those. Others with me had the ribs, which he really liked, and the Bo Peep (lamb) burger, of which not a crumb was left on his plate! read more

Visited this place while visiting Placerville for the day. The Yelpers got it right! This place had one of the best burgers if not the best I have ever eaten! I had the El Paso the server recommended and wow! Simply blown away by the flavor and taste of the burger. It was a packed restaurant on a Saturday evening but the service was still on point and great and no issues. The ambiance is local bar/restaurant with locals and and tourists alike. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a big juicy burger with great flavor! I will definitely be back and if you are looking for a good burger in this area, this is a MUST EAT place !!! I'm telling you that you won't be disappointed with the taste of their food especially their burgers ! Simply delicious!! read more

My husband and I love coming here for happy hour and occasional snacks. Caroline is beyond amazing and always is such a breath of fresh air. Between her being so fun and such a joy and ordering the babas (amazingly yummy) and potstickers...this is our go to spot! read more

We had a snack about 2 because we didn't want to ruin our planned dinner. The appetizer Poke Bowl Lettuce Wraps were amazing & the sweet bartender was very attentive. My disappointment came because of the wine list. Nothing out of the ordinary, I think one local but the glass prices were so high! $12 to $14 or $15 is ridiculas! That's the price of a bottle! I chose an Italian Preseco for $8!! Their wine list needs updating, for sure. I don't drink beer. Their food is always exceptional !! read more

Great cocktails! Also THE PLACE for fried green tomatoes- it's on their appetizer menu and I highly recommend! Service is great and it's never super noisy inside. Highly recommend!! read more

There were 4 of us for lunch. All 4 of our lunch entrées were a swing and a miss. Even the fries weren't good. The bartender was a bit forgetful, but she poured a very generous glass of wine - which is why I gave this place 3 stars. It's also pretty nice inside. Fix your food and this place would be a solid 4 or 5. But it really was a solid 2 for my party of four. Sorry. read more

We stopped here on our way to Nevada for the first time recently and will be stopping by again! It was the perfect half way mark to break up the trip. We sat at the bar, had fish and chips and their pastrami rueben. Both were a decent amount of food, especially with the huge sides! The food was good, pretty decent beer selection and good looking cocktails. Staff was friendly and we met some very friendly locals at the bar. Love a good local restaurant! We'll probably stop by on our way home too. read more
