    We were seated quickly, and someone gave us water immediately. It took about 40 minutes to even be acknowledged by our waitress. When she came over she asked if we’ve even been helped yet—and she was shocked when we said no because she “saw us sitting there for a long time”. Food was mediocre & the drinks were just ok. Probably wouldn’t go back.

    This is one of our go-to restaurants. The food is always fresh, delicious, and creative. The wait-staff is friendly, the bar selections are above average, and the view of the golf course tops it off. You won't be disappointed.

    Early dinner rez for 330pm on black Friday. Friendly staff, great holiday decorations and some new libations offered from the bar, VERY FESTIVE!. Food was impressive. Appetizers came quickly: Calamari, chips/ quac, and steak bombs...ALL EXCELLENT! Dinners were large portions , and all 5 of us shared our choices. Fish & chips, The Reuben, Farmers burger great meals, casual atmosphere with a great seasonal spread, very personable waitress. She recently was married, and we felt like she was the girl next door. Great time, going back soon for other menu choices and to hit a bucket of balls.

    We enjoyed the Thanksgiving buffet here this year. It was our first time at Brickmans, so we took a chance but we are glad we did. Everything was delicious and more gourmet than we expected from a buffet. The menu had something for everyone. Maybe more pie selections would be nice. Lively ambiance inside and outdoor. The servers were friendly and courteous although the service was a bit slow I guess due to the busy Turkey day. We used Orfila Winery membership for a glass of wine, that was a plus. Overall it was a well-run buffet event, and we loved the experience. We will definitely be back.
