Reviews
The Kingdom of Sussex has become very difficult to access due to the sinkhole debacle, so in an effort to remain friends with my top-tier chum resident of said Kingdom in these perilous times, we decided to have lunch on the other side of Sussex, far far away from my typical Route 80/15 entry point. Sussex overall isn’t the best area for eating options unfortunately, with the exception of a very small handful of establishments, so we knew the risks going in. This was actually a little better than I was expecting but there were a few misses.
We came here (along with my #1 Honorary Young Pup Chum) yesterday for an earlyish lunch around noon on a dreary Saturday. It looks like they have decent outdoor seating in the back, but that was definitely not an option on this day. We were seated in their main dining area (my chum noted there’s a downstairs bar area she’s never been in herself, but I’d be curious about that), which was smaller than the pictures online would suggest – not cramped but not quite as homey/comfortable as I was expecting. I did love their little ice bin/cabinet by the front where they keep their bottles of water cold for each table; cute touch.
We impulsively decided to hit up the Berry Mule option on the Specials Menu, and that was a huge highlight – one of the better mules either of us has had in recent memory, and we’re optimistic that it officially got my chum out of her year-long mule slump (which is a thing, people. I’ve witnessed it firsthand). The mulled berries in the bottom were a little annoying, especially with the tiny mixing straws where the fruit kept getting caught on the bottom, but overall very refreshing and tasty. I’d ask for a normal straw or swig straight up to avoid our berry drama in the future.
The mozzy sticks were pretty legit as well. A little TOO overly fried for my taste but still a positive (I like it when they have a bit more give to them, if that makes sense) and the accompanying marinara sauce was decent. Top marks from all participants.
I decided to aggressively assert myself at the top of the food chain on this particular day and went with the Butter & Rosemary Roasted Ribeye. Eh. The bacon potato cream sauce it comes with is really good but there are two issues – one, it’s completely obscuring the steak, so you can’t see the super fatty gristle sections that I’d typically avoid/cut off and you aren’t going to discover them until it’s too late and they’re in your mouth and two, the sauce got cold very quickly. It was a little nippy in there (my chum noted that the waitress had to turn up the heat in there about halfway through our meal) but I think the obvious fix is to make sure that sauce is piping hot to begin with so it’s not chilly within two minutes. The potatoes were excellent, both in mashed and presumably roasted form. Would get those again in a heartbeat.
Somehow I still found room for dessert and opted for the mint chip brownie sundae. I’m pretty sure all of the ice cream here is actually gelato, so be aware you’re getting a rich co-star with these desserts. It was very good though on all fronts, and I thought the brownie was just the right amount of density – this was the only item I had, now that I’m thinking about it, that didn’t have any slight issues. Perfect across the board as far as I’m concerned.
The service was excellent and put this over the top for me as a result. Our waitress was very friendly and down-to-earth, came by regularly, and demonstrated a very strong knowledge of the menu. We were all huge fans, so even with small problems across most of the items served, that intangible made up for a lot in my book. I might have to get a little creative to avoid some metaphorical potholes (or dare I say sinkholes) on the menu but this is worth a repeat visit.
No negatives to brick and brew as a whole I understand this was just 1 person but maybe pay closer attention to the service the customers are receiving by employees.
Overall, Brick & Brew is a great spot for tasty food and delicious beers on tap, as advertised. We will certainly return.
Note that there is additional parking behind the building.
