| - I am torn on this one. I didn't really care for my meal, but there wasn't really anything bad about it.
I had wanted to order the brisket sandwich, but Brickhouse BBQ opts for slicing over pulling. I'm not a big meat person, but when I do eat it, I don't want to see any pink. Not wanting to have to deal with a pile of possibly not-cooked-enough-for-me brisket, I opted for the chicken sandwich.
The chicken breast was huge, an inch thick in some places. It was almost too much. Unfortunately, there was a spongy bit (fat? other weird things I don't really want to think about?), so that was kind of gross. There was a lot of char, which I'm not a fan of, but once again - that's a matter of personal preference, not really anything that Brickhouse did wrong. I would, however, recommend that they put the monster of a sandwich on something stronger than white toast - I had to eat my sandwich with a knife and fork because the sauce and other toppings rendered the bread useless.
Several people at the table chose the pulled pork sandwich and were really happy with it; the people who chose salads seemed ambivalent. The fries were pretty good, but of the battered variety - I prefer my spuds simple.
Brickhouse has a large selection of beers & other drinks, but beware of the price. My friend ordered a margarita rocks from the bar while waiting for the rest of our party to arrive and it ended up being $7.50. In Madison, that's pretty pricey, especially for a restaurant bar during what is normally considered happy hour.
