I can only imagine this place is hopping during the summer months, or during the winter when the Cataloochee ski run is open. The restaurant was sold sometime this year to some cousins from Nepal of all places, and they are two of the friendliest guys you'll ever meet! If they keep that up, they will fit in nicely here in North Carolina! Brickhouse has a nice vibe to it, with the feel of an old pizza joint or something, and soft classic rock playing overhead. We saw a few Uber eats and a DoorDash guys coming and going, so I am sure the locals will take advantage of that as well. I was with my wife and MIL, and two of us got a burger -- which actually had double patties, a nice touch -- and one the chicken club. I personally ordered the sunny side up burger with fries, and I was not disappointed. The burger itself was very flavorful, cooked to the right temp, and had four pieces of some delicious, crispy bacon on top, along with a fried egg! And the crinkle fries that come with it or plentiful, with a nice crisp on the outside and soft inside. Classic! The chicken club sandwich that was ordered was a surprise, as my MIL did not realize it was a crispy chicken sandwich at first, but was happy with how moist the fried chicken breast was. As I said, the two cousins from Nepal are super, super friendly, and I would definitely take the time to chat with them if they aren't too busy -- which I am sure they will be during high season. I would have loved to taste the pizza or a calzone, so we will have to come back for that next time. They carry Pepsi products from the fountain, and my only disappointment was that they didn't have Pepsi zero and only had diet Pepsi or unsweet tea has a low carb option. We will be back!

I don't know what was wrong with that guy, but as a writer and a human, I can assure you that no matter what you do, you can never make everyone happy all the time. That's why it's best to just be authentically you. I got a little off-topic there. What I saying was ... the only negative reviews are for long wait times for takeout or if the dining-in crowd thinks the takeout orders have taken priority over their food. It has nothing to do with the quality of the food. I dined-in and sat outside. The wait times for food were right on the money. I didn't feel rushed and it didn't take too long. I could enjoy my meal and the experience. I have been to Frankie's across the street and had two meals there: Chicken Parm and the Spaghetti & Meatballs. The Chicken Parm was much stronger than the Spaghetti & Meatballs. So when comparing the two Chicken Parm dishes, they are equal but polar opposites. Frankie's is a fancier place with all the bells and whistles. It's a great vibe but also a little expensive. The Chicken Parm is thicker and you get a side of pasta but have to pay for the salad. At Bizzarro, the Chicken Parm is a much thinner cut but still a large portion, you can get angel hair pasta (a rare treat), and you don't have to pay for the salad. For bread, you get traditional at Frankie's and garlic knots at Bizzaro's. I'm not a huge fan of garlic but during this meal, I realized I like garlic knots if I eat them upside down. As for vibe/atmosphere, at Bizzaro, I walked through the little service area to get to the outdoor tables. As I ate, there were parked cars right there, someone mowing a lawn in the distance, and the TV was on from the service area. I would usually not like these things, but I loved it here. It completely fit the vibe of feeling at home and just chilling on the deck. Add the friendly staff and you will feel very welcomed. While the Chicken Parms are different yet equal, Bizzaro's definitely wins for value as you get similar portions plus a salad at a much lower price. I'm glad I found Bizzaro's and I have added it as a go-to when in town. I'll still hit Frankie's too, but maybe Bizarro more often. It always depends on the second visit. I didn't try the pizza yet but I'm sure it's good. The only negative here is the awkward and small parking lot but no big deal. Highly recommended!

Looking back on it, I should have known the food would be phenomenal based on the way the place looks and sounds. Everything is spotless and the decor is right on the money. This is all while a piano player does his thing--and does it well. The staff is also very sharp and professionally polite. The bread was great and the Chicken Parm and pasta were the best I have had in a long time--and it's a large portion. The salad was pretty good. One thing about the Chicken Parm, pasta, and bread is that they were all somewhere between warm and hot. This is probably normal and preferred by most diners but I like my food piping hot. It still didn't take away from the experience. The prices are a little high but only in a factual sense. You get what you pay for and as far as value, the prices are perfect. They need to maintain a high-quality businesses. This place is quite a difference from the last Italian restaurant I visited (see reviews). I'm not in Maggie Valley often at all but I know where to go when in town. Highly recommended.

We love this hand-tossed pizza!…read more The pizza was so phenomenal I have to give it five stars. The service was five stars too once we got seats brought for us our front. We had our pup with us, and it's still COVID, so we sat outside in one of the three two-seater tables on the walkway. They had a doggie water bowl for our pup. There were no chairs outside, so they had to bring some out for us, and they had some miscommunication, so it took a minute. Once we had the chairs, our server was so helpful and friendly. We figured out what we wanted quickly, even though it is an extensive menu with various items we would try. We began with a glass of Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio and waters (good small ice). After my first glad, I switched to a Pinot Noir (not pictured). As an app, we had the small antipasto salad with Italian dressing. It was a good enough size for us to share. While we were eating our salad, an elk walked by on the other side of the street and then crossed over to our side. Now that I eat meat, we decided to get the veggie pizza and add pepperoni. We were excited because the veggie had eggplant on it, which is a unique topping. We ordered a medium pizza, thinking we could eat it all. Well, we were so wrong; their medium is, like most places, large pizza. There were eight large slices. I had her bring me a side of Caesar dressing to dip the yummy hand-tossed crust in. This was a very cheesy pizza, and we were correct; the breaded eggplant was a fabulously unique, tasty veggie topping. Bonus- our motel (Route 19) had a toaster oven, and so we warmed up the pizza for lunch the next day, and it was just as tasty. We were delighted we picked this place for dinner (and lunch).

My friend had the chicken alfredo and when she was about 3 bites in, the roof of her mouth was stabbed by a bone in the chicken (photo provided, but cannot be seen very well) it was a long projection coming out of the chicken. when we told the waitress about it, she said "oh... we don't have anything with bones" and said said she would tell she chef. she yelled across the restaurant "(name of chef) you're fired!!" it was in a very passive aggressive manner and did not come across friendly or anything. My friend's food was still charged at full price as well. no compromise. I'm not sure why the server was acting so passive aggressive, me and my friend had just come from pride and had small flags face painted on our cheeks, so it makes me wonder if she were judging us based on our sexuality. The portion sizes on the pasta are very small. it is not worth $15 before taxes and tip for that amount of pasta. I will say, the one nice thing about this establishment is the interior design. it is cozy inside, but the rude behavior and comments from staff are what lead me to leave a review at 1 star.
