    Storefront on State Street
    Katie L.

    I still love this place but fair warning vegetarians: they will NOT sub for meatless. I asked for a King Wrap made vegetarian and it was an absolute no- no potato subbing, nothing even as simple as *not* adding the scoop of meat. Was happy to pay full price. In 18 years of meatless life this is one of the first times I've seen this- only McDonald's breakfast burritos come to mind because they're premade. Surely these can't be premade? I'll be thrilled if they change this in the future but yikes!

    The food and drinks are amazing. Come here it's delicious. Customer service Tevin and Tyler superb. You will not be disappointed. I give it 5 stars.

    Good drinks. Fresh food. Brisket was tender. Would recommend for families on a trip to the beach.

    Fantastic tacos and drink options in downtown St. Joseph. Not exactly cheap, as their cheapest single taco is $3.50, but they are high quality ingredients. Each taco is worth every penny and the sauce options are also phenomenal. I would highly recommend checking this place out if you live in the area, are traveling through the area, or are offered to have someone pick them up and bring them to you. I just tried them about an hour ago and I already want to go back to stuff my face with crisply delicious pulled pork tacos.

    Double nachos

    Really neat location and cool vibe/ambiance which gives you a beach feel throughout. They also offer a lot of beach type drinks and concoctions with was a pleasant surprise. Want drinking this trip out but definitely intriguing for another time. This would probably be a great spot for meeting with friends or a chill date. The service was fine: were greeted and food came out pretty quick. with how slow it was I guess I would have interacted more/followed up more with tables though as workers were focused on things on register/by the bar: maybe a training or update. The food was really good and flavorful too. The nachos were spot on and always love to see the queso and toppings layered on and not skimpy... didn't have alot of wasted chips but any that were lacking I added or dipped into the salsa which was phenomenal (I really loved the taste and texture) could fill up on it alone. The tacos were a hit with everyone in our group; priced around $4 each you can probably get 3 to fill up and have some fun with the different offerings. I would definitely recommend this place!

    Empanadas
    Dan C.

    Place is alright. Nice spot Dt but food was just okay. By far the empanadas were my favorite.

    General tsao chicken taco
    Lexi W.

    The food just wasn't the best. The drinks were alright tho. The tacos just aren't good. The service is fine and the ambiance is nice. But the food just isn't the best... the tortilla was raw and needed to be grilled. But the server was very nice !

    Pickle Gimlet
    Lindsey K.

    I've been here a couple times now. The tacos are fantastic, a modern American twist of flavors. My favorite was the Nashville hot chicken taco. Their cocktails are also fantastic. You can go unique and get a pickle gimlet or stick with the classic margarita. Either way you won't be disappointed!

    Food was Mexican out of a box at best. Azulejo and El Rodeo are real Mexican places that serve drinks near St Joseph

We happened upon The Buck at around 8:30 and bellied up to the bar. The website showed they closed at 10, so we thought we would have a couple of drinks and head back to the hotel. We had never been there so I made some small talk and I learned about the wheel of indecision. I was excited to try it (knowing my husband was with me boosted my confidence cause he'll drink anything... lol). They also have a huge variety of local beers! There were still quite a few people lingering, so we settled in to enjoy our drinks. I continued to try to make small talk with the bartender, but she seemed less than thrilled to have us there. The staff began cleaning up and closing down not long after we arrived and the bartender brought us our tab pretty quickly. We attempted to get an uber starting at 9:23 (they aren't kidding about Lake effect winds!), but apparently those are few and far between in St. Joseph. They closed up all around us, so we took the hint and walked back to the hotel around 9:45. The concept was great... (we loved the wheel). I will also say, we did take a Facebook call from our daughter about halfway thru (which I know can be annoying), but even before and after that, we could tell that they were not interested in having walkins an hour and a half before closing. I'm giving this a 3 because we also understand long shifts and being ready to be done for the night, so maybe we will try again next time we are in town and I can update my review!

The typical parking lot was fenced off so we had to utilize the street parking nearby. We were told to choose a seat and they'd be right with us. They only opened at 11am, at by the time we got there around 12:30 it was starting to fill up a bit already. My husband got the "in a van down by the river" cocktail, which I tasted, and we both agreed was delicious. For our appetizer, which we had never ordered one before from this establishment, we got the Wisconsin cheese curds. The sauce it came with reminds me of a good sauce for onion rings and was just as amazing on the cheese curds (it was called Sunny ranch I believe). We both got our usual entrees, my husband ordered a double smash burger and I got the atomic punk sandwich, both of which came with fries. My husband devoured his food, while my anxiety basically required me to wait until we got home to eat. I would definitely recommend stopping by The Brick House and grabbing a bite to eat. They have never disappointed us or the people we've sent their way.
