I give this place a liiiiiitle extra credit simply for location - I'm a sucker for Davidson. Brickhouse (she's mightay mightay, jus' lettin' it all hang out!) Is an institution, though it doesn't seem it like it's old enough to be an institution. I think the inviting environment, good service and selection of beers is what keeps people coming back b/c the food is good, but it isn't as almighty as the brickhouse being serenaded by Lionel and tne Commodors. The salads are good but I thought my burger was frozen, not hand pattied.
