Reviews for Brickhouse Food and Drink in White Bear Lake, MN

It's our birthday weekend, my wife and I. We are two days apart in that I'm July 1, and she's July 3. So we almost always go... out July 2. My wife went to this restaurant and said it was great so we booked it for our traditional July 2 dinner out. Ihave to say I'm disappointed. This is a long story, but TLDR: there are better places to eat for east metro residents; I wouldrecommend Phil's Terra (best Greek food ever), Devils Advocate, The Velveteen (Stillwater), and most of all Domacin (Stillwater,but that steak tenderloin will haunt your dreams). So here's the breakdown. RSVP for 6 PM on Sat, July 2. Cool. Get RSVPemail confirmation saying we are good for 8PM. Call and confirm 6 PM, and they are like yep. Great. My wife left a commentsaying we would prefer rooftop deck if available. RSVP cancelled because you can't book rooftop deck as they dont take RSVPsfor the rooftop deck. Okay? Call and reup on RSVP with note that we would prefer rooftop deck, but not if we would like tokeep our RSVP. Get another email saying that our RSVP is cancelled. Call again and reup on RSVP with same note on rooftopdeck. This is a lot of hassle for a White Bear Lake restaurant. Sure they were just ranked #1 in White Bear Lake, but itreminded me of Dellwood Country Club (see my review). This isn't a coincidence as the same chef also does the food for DellwoodCountry Club. We arrived to a mostly empty restaurant and I asked to be seated on the rooftop deck, to which the guy behind me(who was clearly some sort of administrative person for the restaurant) noted that "a Benjamin for the hosts would go a long wayto helping get your way." Funny, which is what people say when they don't laugh or otherwise appreciate the comment. Sure ifyou were busy, then maybe. If you were packed, I'd consider it. Empty? Not a chance. They took us to the rooftop deck whichwas maybe over half full. It's a great space and you earned your first star. Staff was okay, nice b Read more

Great location in a fun town. The food, drinks and service here are always top notch. We come here frequently to get breakfast... (with unreal hashbrowns) and fresh squeezed mimosas. They have a creative menu and specials change often so you can trysomething new every time. Highly recommend. Read more

The food was great! I had the pasta with fried prosciutto wrapped buratta cheese and pasta, and it was amazing!! My son liked... his Texas toast sized grilled cheese sandwich and fries. We also tried a variety of their handcrafted cocktails and the drinkthat had a smokey taste to it (forgot the name) was our favorite. We're definitely coming back. Read more

We have been here SEVERAL times, and the service and food have always been top notch. The servers, bartenders, cooks, etc, go... out of their way to make sure your experience is amazing. The Jalisco Cowboy (drink) is the best. The Ribeye is about the bestthing on the menu, however- we haven?t ordered anything that isn?t fabulous. Keep it up! We come back for the people, andobviously the food and craft cocktails. Read more

They turned an evening meal into a VIP experience. The staff were outstanding and the food/drinks exceptional. In mild weather,... the outdoor tents were a warm and private experience. Thanks for the great evening! Read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! My fiancé and I had such a wonderful time here on his birthday. Our food was... incredible and our server Christopher was excellent. We sat in one of the igloos and had so much fun! It was a little chilly butthere was a heater and blankets which helped a lot :) It was about an hour drive for us to go here, but we will definitely beback. We couldn?t stop raving about the food on our drive home! (Just to note: we did already start eating before I remember totake a picture of our plates so mind that when viewing the photo ????)

I?m not one to write reviews but if you are looking for a date night I Highly recommend this place!!! We reserved an igloo on a... Sunday night and would do it again over and over! Luke (hope I?m not wrong on the name) was an incredible server from drinkrefills to dessert recommendations! SUCH A GREAT EXPERIENCE!! Read more
