Bar
Kristina M.

Brick's Smoked Meats is a great place to dine! The bar is beautiful and the bartenders are very kind. The drinks and food are very tasty. You will not be disappointed if you come here. I love to drink cider over beer and they have a wonderful selection. They have some of the best deviled eggs, corn, Brussel sprouts and bacon wrapped jalapeños. The environment is so nice with indoor and outdoor seating. They have some cool merch when you walk in you cannot miss it. Overall, I highly think you should come and check this place out. They have great BBQ food and some awesome drinks!

Drink menu

The service was friendly, though a bit on the slower side not a dealbreaker, just something to note. There's a spacious indoor seating area, and if you're visiting over the weekend, you might catch some live music in the evenings, which really adds to the atmosphere. The outdoor patio is pet-friendly, so if you're traveling with your dog, definitely bring them along! And don't skip the bacon burnt ends - they're a must-try and absolutely packed with flavor. Pro Tip: Parking is limited on the street, but there's a convenient and affordable parking garage just steps away, which makes visiting a lot easier!

Sample platter

Meeting friends from Venice so I booked in advance via Yelp; concerned given farmers market still operational at noon. We got tied up in a protest on Bayfront so having a reservation proved to be a smart move. Friendly service- my sangria was very good as was my brisket sandwich. The fries were good too but the brisket stole the show for me. The sweet bbq sauce added flavor as well. We never felt rushed and everyone enjoyed their meals( 2 vegetarians so salad and my wife ordered a burger). Ambiance is industrial with tv's scattered throughout. When we finished, farmers market was wrapping up and the protesters were gone; nice ending to a nice Saturday afternoon.

Smoked Turkey Breast, Brisket, mac and cheese, and street corn
Bisan A.

Stopped by Brick's on my drive through Sarasota. The pictures online and the good reviews persuaded me, and the hype was real. Service was incredibly great. Our server was super friendly, and she told us about th history of Brick's and how they have the largest smoker in the state! I got the smoked turkey breast and the brisket, with street corn and mac and cheese as my sides. Everything was super tasty! Overall, I can understand why Brick's upgraded from their food truck days. Definitely worth trying.

Lunch: pulled pork, beans, sprouts
Keith S.

Lunch of champions!! get this: pulled pork baked beans brussels eat the brussels Mix the pork into the beans every bite. BBQ sauce is a little runny, a little sweet. Works well!! Nice am-bee-yance Nice wait staff Hope I can come back soon

Cracked dry turkey, fatty brisket and dry burnt pulled pork.... ugh.

My work decided to bring our department out for lunch one day and had heard about brick's so was excited to go. Being from NC I am definitely not a 'Q snob, but I do love me some good down home 'Q. Started on a bad foot when we absolutely could not find a place to park, but long walks are good for ya, right? Environment was nice, wait staff super polite, but while we were there, we saw another customer carry his food back to the wait staff and he seemed pretty miffed. Food arrived and looked okay, but the Texas caviar was about the only decent thing on the tray. Pulled pork was very dry and burned in some place, not in a good way. Brisket was undercooked and fatty. Come on! If brisket is done right, the fat renders in making it tender and delicious. The fat was everywhere and a little grizzly, too. The smoked turkey? Just look at the photo, it was soooo dried out it was actually cracking apart before I even started to eat it. And this is a meat place? Sorry, three strikes and you're out, no one should have to drown 'Q in sauce to get it down. I was really excited to hopefully find a replacement for Nancy's, but this wasn't even close. But it was entertaining to see the birds just flying in and out of the window snatching up scraps, seemed like they enjoyed the meal, we sure didn't as pretty much everyone in the group felt the same way. I'd put Sonny's in front of this place and I detest Sonny's.

Pimento Mac 'n Cheese...literally one of the BEST I've ever had
Paige G.

Really loved this place, but this time it was not so good. Some of our order was incorrect and the burger was raw inside. The manager was nice and asked if he could take the burger back in the kitchen as a learning experience for his chefs.

BBQ hate crime! My mistake should have checked their work! It sucks
Jon P.

Dec 23 ordered 2 pounds of sliced brisket! I received what could only be described as a BBQ hate crime! Shame on me for not checking their work! 11am pickup Manager too busy with bar inventory no hostess waited while the kitchen handed off this atrocity

Bacon Burnt Ends
Dwaine C.

This is a cool bbq joint. I knew it would be good walking in. The smoke smell was amazing. They have a good drink menu also. Our server was friendly and attentive. We started with the bacon burnt ends. They were delicious. We ordered the 2 meat meal with 2 sides. I got the fall off the bone ribs and my wife got the sausage. They were amazing. Cooked perfectly . The pimento Mac and cheese is good. Not creamy but good flavor. The Brussels were good with some bacon on them. The corn bread wasn't that good. The bbq was excellent.

Breakfast burger and chicken and waffles

Everything about this place is great--we've never been disappointed. Jay, our server, always has a smile on his face and is ready to help us choose what to order, offering helpful suggestions and great service every time.

Dana, our server was just outstanding. Super sweet and very attentive. She took wonderful care of us. But Bricks always has great service. We came in for our Friday date night which happens often at Bricks. Hubby had taco's which he loved. Which I could tell by the sounds he made throughout his meal. He even stated between bites, these are the best tacos. I enjoyed a rib eye and a salad. Steak was seasoned a cooked perfectly. We had great drinks. A nice evening in one of our favorite places.

Swamped in dressing.

I realize you're a meat kinda place, but any thoughts about adding a bbq'd salmon or other non-meat items for our meatless friends? Impossible Burger, perhaps? I've been to Bricks and lovelovelove the meats, but my other half can't do meat ?

Hey KG! Great question. We actually serve veg-heads & vegans all the time who leave happy after enjoying our smoked porto "bellies" either as a platter, tacos, or on a bun as a melt. We've been hearing good things about this Impossible Burger,… Read more

A five star first dining experience at 1592 Wood Fired Kitchen. The amazing Greek food met with…read moreattentive service by our waitress, Shannon made it an enjoyable night. We were impressed with her recommendations. She made us feel very welcome, which added to our fantastic meal. We enjoyed all of the appetizers - spanakopita, grilled octopus, spicy fries with feta, and dolmades. All were delicious, however, my favorites were the dolmades and grilled octopus. For dinner, we ordered the beet and feta salad and open face lamb and chicken pita. Absolutely delicious! To end our meal, we shared the carrot cake with pecans and cranberries. The combination was out of this world. Looking forward to dining here again. Thank you for the great meal and service.

There was a good amount of cheese curds and the gravy with the FF's were perfect. Truffle Burrata, also very good the black garlic is strong but it worked nicely with the dish. A large serving. My spouse loves mushrooms. I like them but it was still really good. Cubed yellow fin tuna: Also a very large portion and good flavour but it could have gone without the tomatos (and I love tomato's) And perhaps served with a rice cup or something to scoop it up. Everything is diced up so it makes it kind of messy to eat. We got a burger to split. we didn't order a side but the waiter I guess put them in anyhow. The FF without the poutine are just ok. The burger on the other hand was really good and cooked perfectly. We split everything and took home left overs, as it was a lot of food. We shared the butterscotch gelato and had coffee to go with it. The service is good, The athompshere is pleasant. We will definitely be back to try some of the other items. I'm not a greek fan so I wouldn't touch those but my husband will. :)

The menu - though not expansive - offered a fish, a steak, a chicken, a pasta, a burger, wagyu meatloaf, salads and several other options, appetizers, a full bar & wine. The four of us were very pleased with the food, service - and live music (guitar/singer was excellent). Overall experience, 4.8 stars out of 5. For that, we'd definitely return. However - the parking experience was a fiasco. Given this was our first visit, my husband circled the hotel/restaurant twice as the clogged pull-in area was full and there was no valet in sight. Also / no signage to direct us. Finally - my husband opted to pull into a reserved lot behind the hotel/restaurant and temporarily parked as I sought someone to direct us.... I walked past the valet "station" - nobody there (perhaps busy with other guests) and I headed to the restaurant to request assistance with parking. My husband followed shortly as he found the valet and asked if ok to leave the car - the male valet handed us a parking placard and said he'd take care of it, no problem. Ten minutes later a young lady valet approached our table - telling us she dug thru my glovebox to find us - asking if we realized she could have us towed. Beyond rude. We attempted to tell her the other valet had checked us in - but she continued down a shaming diatribe at our table - telling us how folks park back there illegally, etc. When we asked to speak to a manager, the young lady valet informed us that her company was a third party and she was not employed by the restaurant so our dissatisfaction with her rude & threatening behavior was nothing the hotel or restaurant manager could do anything about.... Eventually she walked away /her nasty attitude intact - and the male valet squared things so we could enjoy a lovely dinner. When exiting, no valet in sight again, we waited at the pull-in area where two other couples stood next to cars asking us where they were supposed to park or find the valet. Another couple were standing next to their car asking where the valets went, waiting for their keys to depart. Fiasco. Time for a better valet system! So Wink Wink gets a 5 but the valet is a big negative. We live here year round and there are too many options in Sarasota to deal with a valet threatening to tow us at our dining table.
