    Fish & Chips
    Mick D.

    Go to The Stratford. Ask for Denzel. At least, I think his name was Denzel. He took good care of us, making good suggestions and checking in throughout. I love it that I can get a Snakebite without having to explain what it is. My wife and I both had the fish & chips. The fish was fresh and hot right out of the fryer. The batter was crispy and the fish itself was perfect. Put that on top of a pile of chips and we were both very happy. Next time I'll try some of the other traditional pub fare. The burgers look really good. Do not sit outside unless you like flies. Inside is way more comfortable and generally devoid of flies. Outside is probably better in the fall and winter, when you can sit next to a fire. (There is a fireplace outside.)

    So far it's good...got service very fast...environment is good also.... Very good....

    First time visiting this restaurant
    Ahmad W.

    So I went here for the first time on 7/19/2025. I've passed this place a lot of times and never visited. I went to another restaurant who grand opening was today was not open so I was in the area and I said that I'm going to check it out. I got 6 PC lemon pepper wings with blue cheese and tots fries was the other choice. The combo is $10.00:tots $2.00; beverage $7.00 with tax 20.52. delicious wings even though they are not whole wings. The beverage I got was great also. My phone opened up on this place the other day in my pocket btw. Fans and a TV also on the patio.

    This place is really cool! The outside, the decor, the people who work there are all great! It's a GREAT place to have a drink and hangout with friends! They have trivia on Wednesdays at 7 PM. The food is meh. It's not terrible but it's not great. However, everything else really makes up for it.

    Fish and Fish & Chips
    Greg K.

    Had dinner with my daughter at the Stratford this week. It is convenient y to where she lives and we had eaten here before. I am not English but in my mind this is very traditional English Pub. Definitely a bar feel, but also family atmosphere and good food. They have a number of classic English dishes you don't always see here in America. We both went with fish dishes tonight. I had the fish and chips and my daughter the fish tacos. Both were excellent. Generous portion size and nice breading. On earlier trips we have tried the burgers and the shepard's pie. The shepard's pie may be too authentic for me. Heavy on the lamb and more stew like than the usual American versions. Overall a nice spot.

    Reserved parking area in the back

    Thankfully they have reserved parking in back. The lights are dim so hard to know it was open and we called to confirm. But it was and we got a booth. Now to be up front- this is a pub. Not necessarily a dive but it's a a family friendly dog included establish sure but the energy and vibe is kinda get in where you fit in. No one is hand holding but will answer as you ask. The waitress Tia was phenomenal as she was still extra sweet. Attentive and gave great suggestions. I personally love all of that. But what keeps the lights on has to be the food and beer. I was in love with my steak and frites. Just what I was thinking I wanted and made so well. Nothing but a good time and good food. Leave the pretentiousness at home. Also got chips and queso which was also extra good but ate too fast for photos. Defiantly on my will return list.

    Love this place, can't believe it took me so long to try it out. So far I know the following food items are great: salmon blt, wings, fries, tots. Great genuinely pub vibe, they play the ATL United matches (or at least were playing when I was there), the staff is friendly, as are the patrons it seems (just good vibes flowing).

    Liv J.

    The food was good, the service was amazing, and the ambiance was good. The restaurant was very nice and had a great location. I had the buffalo burger, it was ok.

    Popped in on a Tuesday around 3PM. Our server was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Looking for vegan options and he was able to walk us through the menu. He made the experience quite pleasant. Sautéed spinach - these were surprisingly tasty! Nothing too fancy but seasoned just right. Tater tots - pretty standard but good. Sweet potato fries - these were pretty good, also standard. I like to dip in regular mustard to balance the sweetness. I like that they did not come with sugar dnd cinnamon. Black beans - pretty tasty. *all food is cooking in the same oil. They also have black bean and Impossible burgers as options.

Beer loved it. There's a ton of variety on the menu, and everything we tried delivered. That kind of consistency is rare. Service was over-the-top good. Attentive, friendly, and added to the whole experience. Price felt exactly right for a date night spot not cheap, but definitely worth it for the quality. Couldn't be happier with this one.

In true fashion, of course I got a glass of Guinness. It was perfect! Our server was super friendly and very attentive. She even provided some suggestions based on what the others were looking for. Her name was Olivia! Brick Store also has a full food menu too, but we just came for drinks. The food menu is tradiitonal pub type food, so fish and chips, chicken pot pie, etc. It honestly looked really good! I will definitely be back here in the future!!

Seeking economical choice with good food & drinks. Mission accomplished here! Wasn't our first choice. Dining on a Monday is hard, as so many restaurants are closed. But it turned out to be an excellent choice, as we loved our apps, drinks and meals. Had a nice size table with plenty of room in the quieter dining area in the back, away from the bar and TVs. There are TVs in back area as well, just not as many. Started with the nachos with beef chili, and the blackened brussel sprouts. Both were delicious and gone quickly! I had the cheeseburger salad. After all this deep fried, heavy southern food and grits, wanted something a little lighter. The portion was huge, and it was delicious. Onion rings were delicious. Huge plate for a side dish. Others had various wraps, and everyone loved their meals. Good tap beer selection. We had a variety of cold ones. If you're in the area looking for a good local, affordable place to have a meal or drinks, pick this spot. Its family friendly as well.

The waffle fries are solid and two people ordered the Irish Nachos to go while I was there so they may be the star. My fries were served with a mayo-hot sauce mixture that was just okay.
