Brickyard Brewing Company

"Three visiting NYC friends took me to lunch, and I had driven by this place hundreds of times in the past 19 years and had heard some good things about it but I should’ve stopped in sooner. I know this is just a review but sometimes people really need to know that it’s worth the extra couple minutes to go to a place that’s got really outstanding food. We had been at a workshop that had chicken Friday and Saturday so we were looking for some red meat and we found it. I’ve eaten brisket in different ways all over western New York but I have finally found one that is made perfectly just the way I want it. Now, I’m not a salad chick but somehow my eyes went on the menu straight to the brisket salad so at the end that’s what I one friend and I ordered. It comes with sweet potatoes fries so I asked for substitution which they had no problem with. It was surprising that I found the french fries under the salad but I can say that they were good crispy fries! The house dressing was a French Cajun but I asked for Ranch, ending up barely using it. That meat didn’t need any sauce - and there was plenty of it —- and they added pecans to it! The Brisket was perfect. There were no pieces that I needed to pick a part because they were just fat. It was real meat, and there were no over cooked pieces in it that were crispy which I’ve had most places that I’ve gone out to eat Brisket at have had. One of my friends got the sandwich I’ll put in the picture the meat was moist and tender, perfectly cooked and by far more than he could eat so he ended up taking it to the airport with him. So if you’re looking for something that represents western New York very well in regards to a restaurant and have had more than your share of chicken in your life, it REALLY is worth the drive out to Lewiston to be able to get some thing is incredibly good as this. Lastly: When we walked in, we were told there would be about a 10 minute wait and that yes we could wait inside in the bar area which was really loud but we did and within four minutes the buzzer went off and I turned around and she was taking us to our seats so even when they’re packed the OUTSIDE seating is available with almost no wait. That means a lot to me because I’m usually dealing with people from out of the area and so I will be going back to the Brickyard again and again and I’ll let you know if they stay is incredible as they did for this visit. Don’t miss out on the cornbread with that honey butter….. can you see the real corn kernels in my piece?"

"Visited this great brewery on a rainy day, so glad we did! The BBQ and Beers are excellent. Great atmosphere, servers were pleasant, and one of the owners stopped by our table. We will definitely be back!"

"What a cool place with such a friendly staff, literally every employee I spoke with was just so friendly. And the beer is amazing here, definitely one of the best I've been to in the Buffalo-Niagara region. Honestly I wish it weren't as far away as it is so I could visit more frequently. And the BBQ here is top notch, a bit on the pricier side but definitely worth the money. And while I skipped dessert it sounded really good too."

"The fantastic smell from outside draws you in. The atmosphere is laid back and chill. Our server was excellent and very attentive. Tried the BBC hazy IPA and it was fantastic. Hubby had brisket sandwich and I went with pulled pork platter. Mac and cheese side with sweet potato fries was excellent! Only complaint is that the pulled pork seemed very greasy, other than that everything was fantastic."

"This place was very good. Service was good, and the food we had was delicious (pork chili nachos). As we looked at other dishes being served, we agreed all the food looked appetizing. They have an indoor and outdoor bar and seating both inside and out, even with an upstairs patio. You have large selection of beers, liquor, and wine. They had televisions outside at the bar, and are pet friendly. The place was very clean as well. Overall, great place and would return again when in town."
