Brickhouse has the perfect local dive bar feel but with a really nice setup inside. Huge open spaces, tons of TVs for watching sports, and long tables that make it great for groups and gatherings. The food menu has a lot of solid options, but the wings are easily the best in the area, huge, meaty, and packed with flavor. Great variety of beers on tap too. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you want good food, cold beer, and a relaxed atmosphere. read more

I've said it before and I'll say it again, you do not have to be at a Mexican restaurant to enjoy a good Taco Tuesday. LBG offers up a delicious variety of tacos. You get to choose from; Beef, Chicken, Fried and my personal favorite, Grilled Shrimp. They come three to a basket. The only downside is, you cannot mix and match. However, if you have multiple people in your group, you can do it yourself at the table. In addition to the amazing tacos, you can enjoy a Taco Salad, Taco Pizza, Smothered Burrito, Loaded Nachos and Burrito Bowl. If you need something to munch on with your refreshing Margarita, order the Three Amigos. It's a basket of Tortilla Chips with Salsa, Guacamole and White Cheese Dip. I am not embarrassed to admit, I've had them all and will proudly say they're all delicious. I've dined at a table and seated at the bar and each time the service has been attentive and friendly. read more

Took one of the kids out for lunch after her first flight class. Wanted to go somewhere new to us. We passed the place up at first. They have street side and an additional parking lot to the left. You seat yourself inside. They have outside seating in front and in the rear. I did like the aesthetic of the infrastructure. It's almost garage like with the windows and back opening area shaped like a garage. For the most part it's a typical bar and grill. They have decent size main sq shaped bar with 6 TVs and there's at least another 4 in our area alone. There was another banquet type room behind us. our server was nice. The timing was a bit slow. I tried one of their evening specials the bacon cheeseburger with fries. ( up charged to sweet potato) which they do inform you it's a $1 upgrade fee. The kid had the Spicey chicken sandwich with fries. She said hers was good. We split some Mac n cheese bites. I swear I did not notice they come with jalapeños inside. I was wondering why it had a bit of a kick to them. Upon receiving our meals. My fries seemed on the room temp side. we were too hungry to even make it an ordeal. As they brought me Out more anyways. Overall food was good. I'd give the bar another shot. I did the sports bar vibe. I'd like to enjoy it out in the back patio area when it's warmer out. read more

So, I did a horrible job with photos here! Must've been too hungry? A large group of us stopped in for lunch and had a lovely time. The open garage doors makes for a breezy, moderately cool interior. The service was good and the food was good too. I ordered the Brickhouse Shrimp Salad and it was light and tasty. Good bang for your bucks. Definitely a place to check out. read more

Lunch today with friends was wonderful. We had a great waitress and she was so kind right there anytime we needed anything the food was absolutely delicious I don't think any of us at our table left hungry at all matter of fact couple people took home it was so good and as always it's just priced right it's a good portion and you know you've gotten your money's worth. The only downfall is those wooden chairs at the regular tables are very uncomfortable the backs of them are very uncomfortable for people with back issues that's why today and anytime I go I take my Walker in with me but I don't sit in the chairs you offer I sat on my Walker because it's much more comfortable than the wooden chairs the backing is just not good for somebody with a bad back. But the food and the staff awesome read more

I hate when I can't leave a great review but our experience really fell short. For starters it's a great looking restaurant. And it's a lot bigger than I expected. I will give them another try but we will wait until the weather is nicer and they can open all the doors. All 4 of us wanted to try the steak. It's a great deal and comes with 2 sides and a salad. The first disappointment was when our waitress returned to tell us they only had 2 steaks left. Ok...so two of us changed to the kabobs. Then she returned to say they were also out of baked potatoes. I should say here that we went early (530) on a Saturday night. Seems weird to be out of both of those. The kabobs were pretty gristly and tough to chew. The mashed potatoes definitely needed seasoning. We also tried an appetizer that was marinara with goat cheese. Sounded good but it was flavorless. They also didn't give nearly enough bread to dip in the marinara. It was a frustrating evening but our waitress was great and I felt bad for her. We may go again because I've seen so many food reviews but we will definitely try different items next time. read more

Laux Brickhouse is the best! A hometown classic. They have expanded so much over the years. Great specials every week you can depend on. My dad and I love Taco Tuesday & Wing Wednesday. Service is great at the bar and at the tables. Always kind, courteous, and clean! High tops, low tops, bar seating and more. They have live music on the weekends, the game on TV, and a good playlist. Owners are always out saying hi, and it's so great to see a Bethalto business succeed! We have been in need of a go-to place where the whole family can find something to eat. Some of our favorites include: pepper jack cheese balls, chicken bacon ranch hoagie, boneless wings, tacos, & the chicken quesadilla. Also great ranch, which is always important! read more

Food quality is excellent! Fast service and even though we didn't dine in atmosphere was great. When I'm back in town will try dine in.

Very noisy and the open area lead to many flies. Not a good eating environment. The food was just average. Waitress was good.

Great food (especially the pretzel bites)! Service is very fast and every staff member is very kind and friendly! Highly Recommended!!

The fries that they serve here are among the best I have had. They are straight-cut fries, possibly double fried. The fries are crispy on the outside, delicate inside, dry to the touch and lightly salted. They taste of fresh, clean oil, maybe canola or peanut. The fryer management and methods are to be commended! read more

Bartender was very friendly She gets 5 stars! The taller young lady with tattoos gets zero stars. Asked for a box for leftovers and was met with ridiculous attitude . Treated patrons next to me the same way! If you hate your job, find something that makes you happy. This also falls on management to train the employees. Ordered the steak special, asked for medium rare and it came out well done. I'm here from out of town, so I won't ever be back. But look elsewhere if you're looking for somewhere to grab lunch in town. read more

The brickhouse buger was absolutely amazing. I need to return and try some of their other fare soon. Do wish they had a decent IPA on tap. I know, not everyone likes that much hops in an ale... Service was excellent. Just the right amount of table visits to see how we were doing. Will return and will recommend. read more

One of my favorite places to catch the daily lunch or dinner specials. Fantastic wings and at a great price. The NY strip and baked potato special also delivers a homerun in the value department. Always a good experience, my go to joint for local wings and a cheap draft. read more

A couple of the bartenders are awesome..Savvanah as one. But one blonde gal and the bar "manager" are NOT it. Try to charge people for drinks they didn't ask for..and fight about it when customers try to correct them. They are not about customer service or customer satisfaction. The blonde took the money ON THE BAR for the tab and walked away with the cash trying to find the "hidden manager"..and never came back. Honestly Its sad. The food isn't even good. Its just the atmosphere is the only thing you have to offer. read more

Hubby and I went in on a Tuesday. No real direction so we sat at the bar (I eventually grabbed a menu). Bartender acknowledged us and got us the drinks we asked for but not the water I asked for. Pepper Jack bites were delicious ! Fried tacos were ok, not a fluffy morales taco that's for sure. The biggest disappointment was the wings- just because they come to temp does not mean they're ready to serve. Almost inedible. Might try it again but cautiously! You read more

Steak night on Thursday is a bargain! Three of us had the steak special, each of us asked for a different level of doneness, and all three were perfect. Don't forget the onion rings, maybe the best in the area! read more

Large open area bar environment with a nice patio area with TVs everywhere, service was great, quick, friendly and attentive. The food was the only thing that was a little bit of a disappointment, I had a steak which was extremely salty, beans were bland and mushy. My co worker ordered a steak salad and it also was extremely salty, we both did not finish the meals, maybe their burgers or pizzas would have been a better option. read more

The bar area is really nice. They make a good mixed drink, have plenty of beers on tap, and the appetizers are high quality. Cheers to a good bar and grill. read more

I don't know what Karen's are complaining about. Great atmosphere, excellent food, great service. If you are leaving bad reviews you need to reassess your happiness/bitch factor. read more

We stopped here today after our visit to the Lavender Farm in Edwardsville. We order apps and loved the mushrooms, they had great flavor. We also had the pork tenderloin sandwich and it was huge. The catfish had great flavor and not muddy. read more

Finally tried Laux Brickhouse. Been so excited to come here. This place is always packed and so busy which is a great sign. My experience was far from great though. The server was way too busy. She stopped by to greet us but had to take two tables orders before getting our drink order and we sat waiting for a while. By the time she got back to us we put in drinks apps and food. Drinks came out and even though we asked for doubles we got singles so we ordered 2 more right away. Food came out but our appetizer (mozzarella sticks) never came. This was honestly the main reason we went. I've been hearing about these giant mozzarella sticks for so long. The food came out and wasn't hot. Huge disappointment. We ordered the Chicken Cordon Bleu special which tasted great even though it wasn't hot. The cat fish was a huge let down, and the pizza looked fantastic but wasn't hot either. Finishing my second drink I realized there was broken glass in my drink. I sucked it up through my straw. This was very concerning. I let the server know that they should tell their bartender about this. Will definitely give them another try but this was disappointing. read more

I was pretty disappointed in our experience here. I had good things about this place and decided to give it a try yesterday. What we ordered: I started off with the goat cheese marinara dip. It was good. Nothing too fancy. For dinner I ordered the shrimp salad. I liked it. I also split some sweet potato waffle fries. They were "eh". In my opinion, the appetizer and fries weren't worth the calories. I bet you're asking yourself: "why did she give this place 2 stars? This review doesn't seem that bad." I'll tell you why. We were in a fairly big party of 9 people. We ordered drinks and they came out in a decent amount of time. Then we ordered appetizers. It took probably 45 minutes to get them! I get that we are a big party, but the restaurant wasn't completely full, plus the appetizers we ordered were simply dips and fried things. Once we got our appetizers, our food came probably 3 minutes after that so I didn't have much time to enjoy. The shrimp salad comes with a spicy ranch. I asked for normal ranch as well. Our waitress brought the normal ranch, but forgot the spicy so I asked for some. Then she brought me another side of normal ranch. My table honestly seemed needy, but it was simply because our waitress kept forgetting things! Good things about this place: 1/2 price apps on Sunday and cheap drinks. I wish this place was better:/ read more

If you want to venture off the beaten path just a bit, this is a great place! Atmosphere 5 stars, staff 5 stars, food 4 stars. Very clean place, great vibe and the wait staff were all very friendly. Food was a little bland, needed some more seasoning for our taste and the beer wasn't cold as we normally prefer. In the summer they have open patio area and big roll up doors for a nice open bar feeling. We will go back for sure! read more

This establishment had very good food. The service was excellent and the ambience is second to none. It was so good the first time we were there that we went back two more times I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Second time finding wing feather remnants in my Chicken Wing order in 2 months. Really disappointed! Told the waitress I'd lost my appetite after finding it and all she said was that she'd tell someone. Then out came the bill and, of course, no discount. read more

Great service. Attractive and comfortable seating area. Very tasty salad with grilled shrimp. Looking forward to going back again.

I've been to the Brickhouse a few times at different times of the day. Food is good, but the service is the worst I've experienced. Ordered a beer and mixed drink.. 39 miintes later, ha e .ixed.drink, no beer.. Our waitress told.us that.we.had too many in our party (2). Waited 45 minutes for the appetizer and was toldni ETA on sandwiches due to the "size" of our group. Extremely poor service, kitchen too slow and won't be going back read more

As a father of 5, I'm always appreciative of a bar/grill such as this that is family friendly and a good place to take my kids. They enjoyed watching all the games on TV in a fun atmosphere with live music. The pizza had great flavorful and a nice crunch, and the wings were a big hit with our crew! One of the servers talked to us for awhile and was very friendly. Overall, a nice place and one we would come back to! read more

Great food, cold beer, and good ice tea. Service is very good and usually fast except when slammed. The atmosphere is inviting and you feel at home when there. They have sports on the televisions and local bands on weekends. I give it 4 stars for the restaurant and ambiance. read more

cool atmosphere mozzarella sticks are to die for! I've gone alot and they always over cook the chicken I've had it multiple different ways and it is always dry and tough just overcooked. shrimp tasts too clean like its been frozen and u thawed multiple times hard to explain. my husband loves the horseshoe.. Drinks are yummy and well priced! onion rings are another staple for us and they are always super greasy and breading falls off and you get burnt straight onion thats in grease but we can always find a couple out of the bunch that are good. I think maybe just a few tweaks in cooking times and batter and it would be awesome. but those mozzarella sticks are something to dream about read more

Emma & Kortni were awesome. Food was awesome. Manager was TERRIBLE. We tipped the waitress $100 on a $150 bill. Manager told us we were too loud watching sports. Boo hiss! Plenty of cooler sports bars around. Sorry waitresses we had more hund-o's to give!! read more

Good food. Love the look inside and out. Only had one bad experience as far as service goes.
