Except for the kids food (pizza, mac&cheese and chicken fingers) all the foods were spicy. There was absolutely no option for meat or vegetables that did the have pepper in it. Also the food wasn't tasty. It was so expensive and food really under whelming. Breakfast is a lot better in this place.

Disneyland prices but not Disneyland quality. Avoid it if possible. Buy yourselves a nice dinner elsewhere. The birthday cake tasted like just a Costco round cake which is delicious but not worth it n

The food wasn't great for 200 dollars we expected a little more. The tri tips was very dry and hard to eat, Mexican food was extremely unpleasant salad bar was nice I did enjoy it,bread/rolls were stale the butter balls were cute but wasn't able to enjoy them . In my opinion it's over priced for what you are getting. I seen a lot of tables that weren't cleaned properly and tons of staff lots of plates piled high with staff just standing around talking in the corner. My kids didn't really eat normally they come with an appetite glad I brought snacks for them since they were still hungry.

The service was virtually nonexistent. While a buffet-style restaurant necessarily requires a diner to expect less attention than in its full-service peers, this experience went beyond (actually beneath) the norm. We are older citizens who took our grandson to California Legoland for this fifth birthday. To make the event extra-special, we spent a substantial sum on a premium birthday package that included dinner at this restaurant. The meal was to be capped by a birthday cake. We finished our dinner and waited for the table to be cleared. When it became obvious that no one was going to remove our used cutlery, I bussed it myself to the serving station. I expected that once the table was free of used everything, someone would arrive with the cake. Wrong. After ten minutes had passed, I sought out a restaurant employee and asked when the cake would arrive. She assured me it was on the way. Right. Three servers appeared with a cake, sang a little happy birthday song, and disappeared. This left us with one (1) birthday cake, zero (0) plates, zero (0) forks, zero (0) cake knives, and zero (0) anyone in sight to eliminate the prior zeroes. I thereupon rose, trotted (creaked) over to the buffet area, gathered up the necessary zeroware, and returned to the table Stay. I'm not through. The cake that had been brought to us was large enough to feed all of the people who hadn't served us. As a result, we had about three-quarters of a cake remaining after we'd sated ourselves. We decided to take the substantial remnant back to our room against the remote possibility that our grandson might need more sugar during the night. I looked around for someone who might help us package the most-of-the-cake for travel. No such person appeared. There aren't enough characters remaining in my allocation to provide further details, but it won't require much imagination for a reader to fill in the ___ (blank).

Thank you for the lady who sat us to our table and who went to get the chef in order to go over my food allergy with me. Sorry didn't get her name! Then thank you to to Juan the chef for taking me through the food line to show me what was safe for me to eat and also had a gluten free bagel toasted for me and a new untampered cup of cream cheese out of a new container for me. Thank you so much for the experience and the delicious meal for us to start our day!

Pricey during dinner, especially for the quality of food. Food was average at best and variety of selections for things like salad/taco toppings or sauces was minimal. At the time we went (6:45 reservation) the soda machine was also down and juices were extremely watered down. A bummer really. Complimentary morning breakfast is as you'd expect for a decent hotel - plain toast/bagels, cereal, fruit, typical meats, waffles, etc. So I would say it's ok for breakfast, especially considering it's included. Otherwise not worth it. We went to the Dragon's Den the next day and had a great, great experience. Night and day difference really. Food was tasty and table service was excellent. Better atmosphere as well.

Don't eat here unless you like fake food. It's everything that is wrong with our healthcare system. God knows what is actually in the eggs. Those were not eggs that I tasted. Yuck.

Good quality buffet food. Allergy friendly. Maybe it's because we had several great experiences at the Dragons Den restaurant in the neighboring motel before trying Bricks for dinner on our last night, but overall it wasn't our favorite environment. It felt a lot like a cafeteria, and was significantly louder than the other spaces around LEGOLAND for some reason. There was also no real flow to the food lines and it was chaotic even though the restaurant was no where near full. All the drinks were room temperature canned soda in piles on the counter. There is also no play area at Bricks. We really appreciated the play area at Dragon's Den.

The Bricks restaurant is really cute for Legoland. The food is typical buffet food with a good variety. The most frustrating part is no one clears plates. Even a station for us to drop used dishes would be fine.

We went to Bricks every morning for breakfast during our 3 day stay at Legoland. This was great because we saw friends we met the day before and also had tons of foods the kids would eat and adults.

We came here for the dinner buffet and the complimentary breakfast buffet. They had lots of options for both kids and adults. I am very picky about Mac and cheese and the chef's Mac and cheese was the best i have had that wasn't homemade. My husband really liked the flank steak with chimichurri. The chilaquiles were an amazing option for breakfast. I just wish they had creamer for the coffee. This was a great value and our youngest child ate for free.

The service was great but foods was not, most of the food were either too dry From over cook or sitting there too long. And the Fruit was nasty, had a overdue sour taste to it. My son loves fruit so this was disappointment because he wouldn't eat the dry hard food and still not the fruits too.

I wish there as a little more variety for 150 bucks for a family of four. It was cute but for my sons birthday I wish we would have gone somewhere else. It just wasn't as a great as a resteraunt.

Stephanie

The breakfast with the Mexican options is really good, the one with the steamed veggies and breakfast sandwiches not so much. But the Monte Cristo was amazing for a buffet! Overall, all the food is good, even dinner!

Yvonne

Food and service was great but the cleanliness I think could have been a little bit better. Our table still was cleared off but it didn't look like it was wiped off. When a staff member took us to our table she noticed the chair had some food on it and went and grabbed a rag to wipe it off and when she did that she just smeared the food and didn't make it any better.
