We were really disappointed to see that the Brussels sprouts and Impossible burger are no longer on the menu. The replacement black bean burger just isn't for us...it's very smooshy and didn't have the texture or flavor we were hoping for. The one bright spot is that they still have the Shrimp & Grits, which is always delicious and continues to be a favorite. Hopefully they'll consider bringing back some of the old menu favorites!

This place is very cute, don't let the strip mall appearance fool you. I am impressed at how fresh…read morethe food and drinks are here. That said, the food could use a bit of work. I ordered a mocktail which was absolutely delicious with fresh watermelon. I ordered the bone in pork chop with a blueberry reduction, green beans and "potato salad". The potato salad is in quotes because it was more like cold whole potatoes with some seasonings on it not really reminiscent of a potato salad per se but I see what they did there. I wasn't a huge fan unfortunately. The pork chop was delicious but would recommend putting the blueberry compote on the side instead of dousing the whole plate with it. The compote was very good and not super sweet which was nice (so I didn't mind eating it with the potatoes and green beans as well). My husband ordered the sirloin steak but as you can see in the picture it looked like someone just put clumps of horseradish all over thinly sliced pieces of sirloin. That much sauce on thin pieces of meat can be a bit overwhelming. The most disappointing was the presentation, it just did not look presentable. I would say the steak still tasted very good. The corn side was also cold. The server was great, no complaints there. My favorite part of the experience was the mocktail. This place has true potential. I will definitely try it again and hope that I can boost the star rating a bit next time.

Went here last night. Ordered off Yelp and the place you pick up from is actually a Decatur Food…read moreHub! That I didn't know. They have like 5 or 6 different places to order from and you order on the little screens inside or online. I don't think you can get it delivered, but then again I never checked. There's lockers to the right with I'm guessing a kitchen in the back. It's very clean inside. Google said they close at 2 am. I ordered my food at 10:33 & didn't pick it up until after 11 (forgot I ordered food) & as I was leaving she turned the open sign off & it was only after 11. So the hours of operation are in question ! But overall I think the food was alright. I'll have to try them again . I got the fried chicken sub on a hoagie roll with lettuce, tomato, onions, bacon, & cheese. I asked for no pickles, but got pickles. Also ordered the turkey burger with fries . The burger could use more seasoning & I asked for cheese, but didn't receive cheese. So the simple missed mistakes could have been avoided, but idk.

I'm thrilled to share that I finally stopped by Brick Store Pub last Friday! I've visited Downtown…read moreDecatur Square countless times and walked past this spot over and over but this time, I got lucky and made it in for a drink. Brick Store Pub is an incredible place. The staff are fantastic, personable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. They really know their craft and are happy to share recommendations on both drinks and food. The ambiance adds so much to the experience, I recommend you to come and relax on the patio or grab a seat at the bar. There's such a great vibe all around that makes you want to stay awhile. If you're in the area, definitely stop by, you'll enjoy every bit of the atmosphere that Brick Store has been giving all this time. I will be back!

Been a long time since I'd been to the Brick Store Pub, maybe pre Covid? Was meeting friends for…read morelunch and tried to call to make a reservation since there were 6 of us for a Saturday and there was going to be a music festival that afternoon. Got a text back saying they don't take reservations, it's first come, first serve, but they would do what they could to accomodate us. 4 of us were seated and we had 2 more coming before we wanted to order. The wait staff was attentive, making sure we had our beverages and if we needed anything before the 2 arrived. Once they arrived, the staff gave us a few minutes to make sure the 2 had a chance to look at the menus. We ordered appetizers to start...corn bread, sage fried pierogies and poutine. We weren't sure about the poutine because we didn't see any gravy, we did see the cheese curds on the fries, but once we finally dug in, the gravy was at the bottom. The pierogies were tasty. We asked if they could cut the cornbread so each of us could get a taste, which they did. Corn bread had a toasted texture, and the honey butter was delicious! Everyone ordered something different. One had fish and chips, which would seem to be a likely order for a pub. Their special for the day was a ruben. Another ordered a falafel sandwich, and I think 2 salmon BLT's and then one salad with rainbow trout. Portions were not overwhelming, but we realized that we were full from the appetizers and almost everyone ended up taking most of their main choices in doggie bags (boxes). As time got closer to the festival to start, it did get crowded, but the staff handled the influx of people and people were seated relatively quickly. This was a nice destination as most of the group live a drive from Decatur. Lovely afternoon visit!

So, I sat at the bar naturally. His excellent customer service definitely redeemed this place. I ordered the Short Rib over Grits, a Sweet Potato Pancake as a side, and a Pineapple-Ginger juice. The ambiance was pretty chill for a Friday morning and not as busy as the weekend brunch crowds are.

The peach habanero jam with them was amazing.

Their reservation system was down when we went so we ended up waiting about 20-30 min for a table. I shared their fries bucket for the app and I had the crispy confit chicken for dinner. We ended up paying extra for more sauces and some were a hit like the aoli and the sesame soy, but the hot sauce was just a normal Tabasco like sauce so I didn't think it was worth paying for. I had the crispy chicken confit for my dinner and it was amazing!! No notes!! The pork belly that my fiance got was also super tender and flavorful. Overall it's a nicer restaurant but I'd definitely be back!

It may not be fair to judge an establishment by its patrons, but Mary and Peter should be banned. It was clear they are regulars. I still don't know if they were over-served or just dickheads everyday. But if I wanted to hear someone sing badly, I'll go find a karaoke spot. These two were just full of "pull my finger" jokes and other obnoxious wit. I did consider just walking out. Now for the rest of the review: The menu is fine, but dinner menu is served on a loose paper, as are the drink menu but it's on a clipboard with multiple pages. I opted for a hamburger with waffle fries. I ordered Med-well, but received Med-rare. The bottom bun was disintegrating as it was saturated in grease. 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. I really wished my experience was better because there is so much here I normally would like: local, neighborhood dive, music, tv. But this was a one-and-done for me. Also, the bar height is awkward when seated. I'm 6'0 and felt like a kid sitting at a bar where I have to raise my elbows.

There is also patio seating which is also a special space where they have been known to host weddings. Vera our waitperson was fantastic from start to finish. She was welcoming, talked about the restaurant, made excellent suggestions on all facets of the menu, helped with the wine selection and food choices and checked on us often. She is the true definition of service!! We started with cocktails and appetizers along with a bread basket. Don't skip the house old fashioned if you like bourbon. I even tried a mocktail and that was also good. Our first try with black bread. It was dense but tasty. The pimento fritters were crispy outside, creamy inside and complemented by the tomatillo jam. Calamari was perfectly done. Nice and crispy. The Caesar salad was freshly made with homemade croutons. I could go on about all the entrees but I'll leave it at this. Perfection. Not a miss among them. From the perfectly seared scallops, the duck breast or the blackened grouper we were all members of the clean plate club. We ended the night was a couple of the desserts and again winner, winner. This restaurant has been in Decatur for over 20 years and deserves all the accolades.

My husband and I tried this restaurant for the first time and it was just OK…read more Parking: There are a few free parallel parking spots directly in front of the restaurant, a small grassy area across the street that is also free, and a valet lot next to the restaurant for $6. The valet attendant was extremely nice! He asked if we had eaten there before, told us about the specials, and made several recommendations. Our waitress was pleasant but didn't offer any suggestions -- the valet attendant was nicer and actually did more than the waitress. We started with the $7 truffle french fries (happy hour portion, 4-7pm). They were enough for both of us. Crispy on the outside and soft in the center, but there was only a light dusting of cheese on the top layer of fries. It would be better if it were sprinkled throughout the entire pile. The grilled filet mignon ($52) was not good. It looked like ground hamburger shaped into an oval and had hardly any flavor at all. The lobster ravioli ($42) was just OK and was surrounded by a thin sauce. The flourless chocolate cake ($11) was delicious, and the espresso martini was also good. So the mains weren't great, but the dessert and drinks were. There's plenty of seating inside and outside on the patio. The bathroom was clean. We made reservations, but they didn't seem necessary on a Thursday evening. Highlights: Valet service, dessert, espresso martini, happy hour fries Could be better: Main dishes (filet and lobster ravioli)
