This place was amazing. Clayton greeted us at the bar and was super polite and even showed us around the smoker. A few others and i shared a brisket pizza and a reuben sandwich. the pizza was amazing. and the reuben... one of the best sandwiches i have ever had. Would highly recommend.

Great food, atmosphere and staff. Clayton the manager is always interested in meeting people. I had Pulled Pork that was great and I am going to go back for Reuben Sandwich and Pizza. A great place for a sit down meal before walking over the Martyr's Live for live music shows.
Nice place! Very good food, fresh beer. I had juicy slow-cooked beef brisket with tater tots and fresh draft Old Style Classic Lager. Amazing. Next to try are wings, ribs, half chicken and for sure - burger.
Highly recommended.
I think it's a good place to go with children and also as a couple I like it like the food

My office comes here for lunch often, and they always treat us so well! They even offer a discount for us being a local neighborhood business! Great food and great beer selection too! I had my baby shower here a few years ago and everyone had a blast! I highly recommend anything that was cooked in the smoker, especially the pulled pork. And Sean is the nicest and most patient waiter you could ever ask for! Definitely a neighborhood favorite!
Something for everyone here. The BBQ and pizza are big faves. Big Bricks is Kid/family friendly and good for adults. They do a good job separating the space so everyone can have a good time. The front section & bar is spacious with booths and tables and is usually set aside for adult customers/groups. The back room is good for families. The patio is pleasant in the summer. Lots of room back there. Party room upstairs is nice, too.
An Amazing lunch! Ribs are second best only to mine. Dry rub, cooked slow. Inside and outside seating options all of which are beautiful and comfortable. Great local beer selection. Staff is very friendly, received t-shirts just out of generosity. CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!
Although they didn't have chicken I was able to build my own pizza and it was really good, thin crust and tasty ingredients just the way I like it. Large selection of beers and fast service. I definitively hope to come back again soon.
Great ribs and chicken. They smoke their ribs long: not too greasy, lots of meat, good portions. Beautiful establishment with a great garden for when the weather allows it. Friendly staff, and decent pizza for kids that don't appreciate what the place is all about
Great brisket, awesome smoked chicken wings with wonderful barbeque sauce, yummy tater tots, delicious little sliders, wonderfully crusted pizza, baked in brick oven and many many more items that make taste buds, stomach and mind happy.
And it all for a reasonable price!
Plus good selection of music played through very nice quality sounding speakers that allow them not to crank the volume up and it let diners to have a comfortable conversation.
Plus during the warm days they have very spacious and quiet patio in the back
Families love to go there and almost at any day closer to the evening there are families with kids having dinner.
Seriously. This place is a gem with the only one little tiny spec of imperfection: the price for a beer is a little bit too high, but it wouldn't even affect the number of stars that I would give this place :)
Oh! And to find a parking spot is pretty easy on metered streets ($2/h) and it's even possible to find a free one!
Walked up and saw the sign so decided to check it out. It turned out it was in the basement which I was kind of skeptical about at first but it turned out to be okay. Today, all appitizers we 50% off. We order the garlic bread which was just okay and the shrimp stuff which was also just okay. It was just some shrimp in some oil with seasonings served with a side of bread. The portions is much small then you might expect. We ordered the 12" "Red Planet" pizza and it was really good. The waiter was really sweet. Overall the experience was pretty good. Would definitively go back for the pizza. 🍕🍕🍕🍕
Former home of the $4 draft, kinda surprised when they changed it. It's a nice local spot with a small little bar and a nice outdoor patio when the weather is good. I love the ravioli appetizer and would literally go there for just that. BBQ is good, nice selection of draft and bottled beer.
