Brick House Tavern / 249 Location Critique

This past weekend I attended a birthday party at Brick HouseTavern + Tap located at 17111 Tomball Parkway, and the following is my unbiased critique of the restaurant, food, customer service, and libations.
It was a brisk night, as my girlfriend and I, hurried through the ample parking lot to warm up inside. I was told we would be on the patio, and was worried about the cold, but we soon found ourselves nestled next a warm fire burning outside. We did, however, make our way inside to be a bit more comfortable, and found yet another large fireplace filled with crackling logs. The ambiance inside was nice, and well decorated. I glanced around at the people there, and found everything from a guys night out, quiet romantic dinners, and large groups of friends hanging out and talking. The establishment is rather large, but appeared to be well staffed based on our dedicated waitress, and her diligent manager hovering nearby. The waitress was prompt and personable, but appeared to be somewhat new. I asked for a “Brick Grinder”, and she gave me a weird look, and I had to point it out on the menu. Other than that she did a good job bringing drinks, and food. I drank a Blonde Bombshell (draft) that was chilled perfectly, and took a shot of Patron. (Couldn't get too happy, I was driving.)

As mentioned previously I ordered the Brick Grinder Sandwich which was described on the menu as: prosciutto, salami, house roasted turkey, bacon, spicy peppers, smoked provolone, roasted tomato, red pepper aioli & pesto. Seemed intriguing, and I was not disappointed. It was delicious! It was the perfect meld of ingredients and the flavors complimented each other well. The textures were perfect: crunchy bacon, moist turkey, and the aioli was excellent. My side order was tater tots, which were fresh out of the fryer, were crunchy and warm. The taste was pretty remarkable considering this is a chain restaurant.

In summary, it was a great meal for the price, and the customer service was above par. I would rate this location 4 stars, and would recommend this to a friend.

I will be rating and reviewing using a 5 star system, and will assert if I would recommend the restaurant. Again, this was my personal experience, and am no way compensated by the restaurant, or parent company.  If                                                                                  you have any questions or comments please contact me.


Thanks for reading, and happy eating!
