| - If I could do 3.5 I would. I'm vacillating between 3 & 4, but I'm gonna go with 3 (aka "A-OK" ) for Brick. The food was fantastic, no doubt, but did not meet what was on the menu and the service splotchy.
The service is a solid 3. We had a very nice waiter; very amiable and helpful, but hard to flag down for a second beverage (even though he brought my co-diner one unsolicited). Yes, I felt slighted. Second, it was dead when I tried to flag him down. If it were busy I may have understood, but we were one of 2 tables in the place, post lunch rush, and I practically had to get up and walk to the service area to get his attention. Minus one star there.
The other minus 1 star comes from the fact that fries are extra for your burger. I think that's kinda BS. They have pretty good Parmesan Truffle Fries (which really only tasted of truffle oil), but come on people, a $6 add-on when you're already paying over $10 for a burger is BS. The fries were good, but not worth a $6 side. $4 maybe. Could have been $6 with actual Parmesan on them. Maybe someone forgot the cheese. Who knows.
What I will rave about is their burger with a slice of pork belly. SHEER EFFING DELIGHT! Perfectly cooked, fresh burger -- 1000% delicious (yes, I said one thousand percent), and the perfectly cooked and fat-laced pork belly addition was innovative, unique and tasty beyond belief when paired with the burger itself. It was supposed to have a chipotle mayo on it, but I didn't detect any condiment whatsoever., Frankly, the butter toasted bun, with the meats and the veggies that were on the burger sufficed anyway, but again -- not how it read on the menu.
I guess the place is known for pizzas and such which looked great, but I have to say that despite my 3 star rating and less-than-stellar service -- I'd go back (and deal with paid parking) for another crack at that amazing pork belly burger.
