We had a good experience here. Server was friendly and attentive and food was good. Typical pub fare. Beer seemed a bit on small side and not a real pint. Table was very wobbly so had to watch for spilling. Overall quite good but always room to stand out from the crowd.

It was great food and fantastic service. My only complaint was my chicken was on the dry side but still tasted great. Billie was an amazing server! We will be back!

Our server was really great! The happy hour portions and prices were decent. The tacos tasted like they were reheated and had lots of seasonings salt. The Truffle fries also had lots of seasoning salt and weren't very truffley. The salad was really good.

Samantha

Attentive service and delicious food. The dumplings and Korean bowl were amazing. Large location, good menu, will be back to try more.

Fantastic atmosphere, quiet for Thursday, perfect for special occasions with people you're meeting with, and good food for the right prices.

Our Server Hannah was fantastic! Accommodated both mine and my customers dietary requests. Made it a pleasant lunch meeting.

Ordered the steak and frites ($47). Steak was ordered medium rare and it was well done, cold and had so much tough fat on it I could barely eat any of it. The roasted garlic demi was just thick brown slop. One of the worst steaks I've eaten.

This was a last minute decision on a hectic winter evening but reviews indicated it wouldn't disappoint. Boy, were they right!! Not too often is every item you order checking all the boxes but here.. it did just that. My husband ordered a chicken chop salad which he raved about although he's typically not a salad-kind-of-guy. Just the right amount of dressing and uber fresh ingredients got two thumbs way up. The menu is smaller, so I struggled to find something I was in the mood to eat. The server recommended a couple items including their smash burger and their their mushroom soup. So I subbed salad for a small soup and gave them both a try. WOW!! The MOST flavourful mushroom soup I've ever had. Thick, with large fresh mushrooms and a perfectly balanced broth. The burger was equally impressive. It's those little details done so well... a bun toasted perfectly, just the right amount of slaw, crunchy flavourful pickles, and a tender beef patty that was juicy, but not messy! Between the two of us, we'd be happy ordering any one of these dishes again. But we're looking forward to trying more!! Bravo to the Brix + Barrel

Everything awesome but the number of service staff seemed not to be adequate for lunch time. Pressure on them was evident. Good job, though.

We had good meal over lunch, not to loud so we were able to chat. Food was good overall, a bit more expensive than I expected.

The hood fan was broken so the whole restaurant was smoky and smelled like oil. Then I got my chicken sandwich and the cook put so much sauce on it I had a puddle of sauce on my plate just from what fell off the sandwich picking it up, there was still what I assume to be half a bottle of sauce in the sandwich, and the other half fell out on my plate

Brix + Barrel is my new go to spot for a business lunch, afternoon meeting. Menu is perfect, drinks are amazing and for healthier options they will customize. Location has been around for ever and still so under appreciated, love everything about this place.

Food was great but service terrible. Took 20 mins for drink orders or for the waitress to check in each time. Two people got their food when everyone else was half finished.

Ralph

Food and service were excellent, but i think that for $30..00 for a pork chop is a bit high.

Had the Walt and pepper squid, the chipotle strip loin and the ponzu rice bowl. A great business lunch.
