Brix Tavern - Keizer

"The atmosphere was lovely, a nice balance of great lighting and openness of the restaurant. We sat on the covered patio that had heaters over the tables that made sitting outside quite comfortable. Servers were friendly. Food was fantastic, we had brunch. The Brix skillet was cooked to perfection, the steak was tender and tasty. Definitely recommend! It was a great experience and plan on coming back."

"We were so disappointed at the entire experience. To start with, the atmosphere seemed to be cafeteria style, with tables and chairs crammed together so close it was hard to have a conversation. Service was mediocre at best. Now, the worst was the food. My wife ordered the $17.00 waffles and chicken. The waffle was half of a waffle and a chicken patty that was smashed so flat it was a joke. The waffle was cold, and the panko breaded chicken patty had absolutely zero flavor or seasoning, I am not exaggerating when I say; it tasted like sawdust. I ordered the $21.00 Brix skillet, grilled flat iron steak with demi glaze. Well, I thought I was being punked when the "skillet " showed up. The size of this entire skillet was the size of my hand with four pieces of 1/2 inch chewy steak, the demi glaze sauce was ok. The hashbrowns were maybe one small potato and were completely bland and lacked any flavor. The eggs were also very bland unfortunately. The bottom line is save your money, there are no responses from the owners about similar complaints. In all fairness, when I tried to discuss our issues with the manager, he immediately comped our entire meal as if it has brought up before."

"**update..I went back and I was disappointed that the Brix Chips had very, very little pork in it. My son had the chicken pot pie and it had four small pieces of chicken and even fewer peas. The service was great. I had a lemon drop martini. It was good although not as sweet as the ones I've tried elsewhere. I'll probably stick to burgers and salads from now on. Loved the food. Their appetizer, aka "shared plate," Brix chips is amazing. I also had their house salad. It comes with a citrus vinaigrette dressing. I did have to ask for more dressing because it came with very little but with the additional dressing it was delicious. My friend had the classic burger with the salad. She was impressed also. It was a bit crowded but our waitress was very attentive."

"Had reservation for "Happy hour" for our anniversary date night. Although multiple tables open and surprisingly not that busy we were seated at a table next to the bar that was constantly bumped by staff and guests. Ordered cocktail, soda and appetizer to start. 1 entree off HH menu, 1 off regular menu. Waitress was pleasant. 3 staff leaning, laughing and on phones at hostess station. All drinks and food came all at once. Not hot and nothing special. Bar grub. Pretty much ignored after that although it was getting busy. Had to ask for soda refill. Water glasses empty, never refilled. Had to flag staff to ask for dessert menu. Dessert arrived, entree plates never removed. Server pushed plates toward center of table to set dessert on corner of table! Had to ask for guest check. Not a great experience and very expensive $75 happy hour. Although, newly opened, they have lots to work on. Hopefully, they will get better! Disappointed to say the least."

"This is our first time here, I ordered the BBQ chicken pizza, my wife got the salad, while the ingredients were clearly fresh, they didn't even remove the ends of the lettuce which are bitter or stems, which for the price, it should be. The pizza, while cooked well, had very basic flavor, not bad by any means but needed something to top it off. The service was great. Out waitress was attentive. Took a while for food which we expected."
