The brisket was delicious. My 2 companions also enjoyed their meals. The bartender and waitress were very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend the Deer Lake Pub.

Great food ! I went there for the first time . I had the Jack Daniel's burger and it was outstanding. Great atmosphere. I will be returning soon .

Cheap beer prices. All I had was the fried mozzarella. Bit expensive for 3 pieces of fried cheese @ 10 bucks. Lacked flavor.
Overall nice atmosphere. Was there on a slow night so there wasn't much to experience.

Definitely one of the best Reuben Sandwiches around. Great quality corned beef packed with flavor!

We have been here many times, and enjoyed it, however the last two times we have been here something is off or different maybe a kitchen change but both times food was cold...on valentines day I had brisket that was ice cold, and tonight we waited 45 min for cold food again, the wings which we used to love were cold and not even crispy, the food has taken a 180 in the wrong direction, service was ok but we probably won't be going back. Also heard another table complaining about cold food tonight as well

Ate at this place a few times over the last 10 years or so and it was always ok, stopped in 3/21/2025 when the place we wanted to eat at down the road was packed. Guessing it has new management since we were there last? The beer was cold and the side salad was good and fresh. Skimpy on the servings, not properly cooked and WAY over priced.

No no no, I will never go back. Stopped in at the bar to have a drink and an appetizer. Sat on their beautiful leather bar stools. No bartender available. Two servers had walked through the bar and never made eye contact with me Nor said hello. Finally Cassie had come out the kitchen. after about 10 minutes. She says what do you want to drink? Not even hello. She made me a very weak Captain and Coke then I ordered a bowl of crab bisque soup. It came out in a timely manner. It did have a good taste but there wasn't a flake of crab meat in it. Failed to mention that she waited on a table in the bar area before she even made my drink.
I am recently retired and Roman delight as well as the Brick house has no problem taking my money while serving me with a positive attitude and a smile.
That's all. My final thought is; narcissistic people should not be in customer service roles. I will continue patronizing my usuals mentioned above.

Went on a Sunday at 1. First time there, the lady and her friend wanted the soups flight so we figured we’d give it a shot. Our server was stellar, took a long time, but friendly and apologetic that he was all alone in the entire place. I really felt for the guy serving 5+ groups and tending bar.

I had the Nashville hot crispy chicken sandwich. Cold, wet, mess. The sandwich came on a Kaiser roll 2x too big for the meat in the middle, it was honestly comedic. I really never had anything that bad to eat at a restaurant. I had to say something and I honestly never do, but they took it back and nuked it. Obviously that cooked the cold veg on the sandwich. It was just not doing it for me. For $15 I could have had two chicken sandwiches from any drive through and they would have been meatier, crispier, and hot. Appreciate the effort, but nah.

I stopped in and ordered a cheeseburger and fries with a soft drink, service was very good and when I got my lunch I tried to eat it but the seasoning that it was cooked with was very salty. I tried to eat it but was unable to due to the excessive saltiness, I finished my fries and soft drink and informed the waitress of the cheeseburger being very salty. She said she would let the cook know about it. The next visit I will order something different. I was still charged for the entire meal even though the burger was not fit to eat. Nice restaurant and good service, hoping for better food next time.

My husband and I have been coming here for years, and it has always been awesome, but now it is on a whole other level. I got the prime rib and shared with him, we both agreed it was one of the best steaks and one of the best meals we have ever had. We will look forward to coming back the first weekend of every month for the prime rib. The atmosphere and staff are also always amazing. Joni is amazing. Overall perfect experience!

My husband and I come here almost every Thursday. It’s our comfort place. Ever since the new owner took over everything is so much better! We love the steaks, truffle fries and the drink menu 😉. Also they legit have the best French onion soup. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
