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.

Service at Brix & Barrel is always impeccable, from start to finish. Even during the busy rush, their team remains calm, friendly, and attentive. I can't recommend them enough!

Food was good standard fare. just what we wanted. Wasn't loud. Service was a bit on the slower side but it was a busy Thursday lunch.

Nice place, good food. Just ask your waiter not to bring your main meal with the appetizers.

Rory

Had the poke and tacos, both were excellent. Poke was a bit on the small side, luckily I ordered a side.

Brix + Barrel is my new favorite spot for lunch. Service is excellent and food is great and comes out quick. GM Dave is also really friendly and regularly asks how our meal was. See you soon!
