Brickside Bar & Grille

Everything about our visit here was excellent. The server was quick and responsive and the appetizers/main meal tasted very good. Really enjoyed sitting out on the patio while the weather was beautiful, and no worrying about the sun or elements affecting our seating. We plan on coming back in the near future.

Brickside was awesome last night!! We had a party of 17 for a wedding rehearsal dinner. We made the reservation on Wednesday for Friday. And Friday morning we had to add 2 more. We ended up with 13 adults, 2 teenagers, and 2 5 year olds. The staff took it all in stride and were very accommodating. 2 of us arrived early to make sure we were all set, and they had set aside an area off the bar for us. I'm embarrassed that I didn't get our server's name, but she was obviously pregnant, and I only mention that as a way to identify her. She handled everything beautifully. We ordered appetizers before people started arriving so they wouldn't have to think about what to order. Then folks arrived and their drink orders were quickly taken. Appetizers arrived in a decent time frame. The buffalo chicken dip and fried mushrooms were awesome! Then our server got everyone's order easily. Drinks were topped off on a regular basis and everyone was good. The food arrived and as far as I could tell everything was correct. Everyone liked their burgers, salads, and ribs. No complaints on taste or volume of food. We had a lot of take home containers. Overall we really liked this "Cheers" type of place. It was comfortable and welcoming. And all the staff were friendly and helpful. We initially had planned on going to a bigger chain type place, but once we arrived in town we saw Brickside and decided to go there instead. It had great reviews and was close to our hotel. We also like to support local businesses wherever we travel. Would totally recommend this place and will return when we come through again!!!

I would never recommend this place. I’ve been a chef for over 25years. And I can’t believe this is what I received for my dinner last night. The brisket had so much beer in it. The wings speak for themselves and the cheese fries were so hard. Whatever you do, please think twice before wasting your money. I tried calling but you can’t get anyone on the phone. Being from out of town, I’m so disappointed with this whole experience. Truly this is the first and last time I would ever eat here.

Warning to anyone in Fairmont trying to order online, they don't accept online orders and the website will switch you to the Bridgeport location without warning. The staff was great about meeting me to deliver the wings (jumped the tip to $10 on $40). My only complaint is I ordered a mixed 2 dozen and received all drums, which I hate. I live 40 miles one way and didn't know until we got home. It would probably cost half tank of gas to drive there for the correct order, which is just too expensive now a days.
