Brick's River Cafe

"Great burger and sweet potato fries! Service was professional and friendly. Nice view. Went back a week later and ordered a salad. Skip the salad. It was disappointing. Old tomatoes, Guacamole in lieu of avocado and canned olives on the shaved beef (over cooked) salad. Really disappointed."

"The food was fantastic and reasonably priced. Our server Sean took very good care of us. The Dr Pepper Burger was one of the best burgers I ever had and french fries were nice and crispy. Visit this restaurant if you can, you won't be disappointed !"

"I'll start with the good part! The service was great and the atmosphere was amazing. They are located a little ways off of the mainstream where a lot of shops are located and you can get a nice quiet river view dining experience. Amazing. I love chicken fried steak but it wasnt done properly. The steak inside had zero work done to tenderize it and came out like a hockey puck. The breading was soggy and peeled off the steak like wet paper that disintegrated. Next time, Hit that steak flat with the tenderizer, score it, pat dry, then hit with the seasoned flour and buttermilk! Coleslaw was old and mushy. The saving grace was the mashed potatoes. That was good. Go else where if you are looking for chicken fried steak."

"(This is an updated version of my review) We went a little after 12 and it was not busy at all. We ordered the potato skins ( photo below) and it was delicious there was 6 of them but I forgot to take a photo of that and only have the one. I got the pulled pork sandwich and it was the the best pulled pork I have ever had ( as long as I remember). I got shoestring fries and mac and cheese with the pulled pork, there were really tasty. Three members of my party got the buffet (does not happen all the time and photo below) and they said it was really good. The second time they went back some of the chicken was a little undercooked but we hold them and they quickly fixed it. The buffet consisted of chicken, corn, mashed potatoes, green beans and gravy. My sister got the cheeseburger (kids cheeseburger)she said it was really good but was smaller than she would have liked. She got ice cream after it was vanilla and it was really good. I got pictures of the menu and the sweet tea was tasty not crazy sweet. The waiter was mostly on top of the drinks and he was nice. The bathrooms are a little small but they are clean. It can get a little busy here but it is worth it, I recommend coming here."

"Our visit is a tale of 2 experiences. Our first 20 minutes was a definite 0 star. Beautiful afternoon to sit out the deck overlooking the ravine and river. We were on the deck with 3 other tables being serviced, however, TWO waiters completely ignored my family and I as we patiently waited to be acknowledged and waited on. Never happened. Even when the patrons at the three tables left, we sat out on the deck alone and nobody ever came back out. I say it was 20 minutes, my spouse says 30, that we patiently waited. I walked inside and talked to Daniel, the first waiter I saw, to order some drinks. Daniel was awesome and saved the day for us. Turned an awful experience into a satisfactory one. He took care of us from then on and gave us the attention and courtesy anyone would expect at a restaurant. The food was delicious and also a savior which was the reason we went to Brick's in the first place. Home cooked fried chicken and chicken fried steak were moist and flavorful. Smashed potatoes are a must try! Fried pickles and their jalapeño ranch are a great appetizer. Kids had grilled cheese and chicken tenders which they devoured. In Brick's defense, they are short on wait staff and are overwhelmed. However, a simple acknowledgment from the wait staff would've sufficed. Completely ignoring a patiently waiting family of 4 is never acceptable. The manager spoke with us and apologized for the lapse in service which we appreciated. I would return because Daniel was awesome and the food was delicious."
