This restaurant has been open since the early 90s and is still going strong. That means they're doing something right (actually they're doing many things right). The Brickery has been part of my life since high school. I've eaten there on many occasions with friends, family, and even on dates with my (now) husband. I can't remember a time that I've gone to The Brickery without seeing someone that I know. Their food is like 'home cooking' to me in all the best ways. I absolutely love the chicken tenders, brisket & kugel, and soups. I'm not a seafood eater, but am told that the crab cakes are top-notch and will never forget how much my grandmother loved the fried shrimp. In this time of mega-chains that cater to the least common denominator with frozen or prepackaged food, it is nice to know that there is a family-run place in the neighborhood where I can go for fresh, homemade food.
Pros: fresh food, familiy-run, friendly atmosphere
Cons: no reservations unless it's a large party
