The Brick House is conviently located on Howe Ave near Chapel Hill Mall. I love the decor of the Brick House. There is a fireplace outside and inside right when you walk in. The bar is a decent size and there are plenty of TVs to watch sports. There are couches, booths, and tables whichever makes you the most comfertable. There are fun sayings along the walls and the wait staff is all female. The beer list is pretty good, not great but they have a variety of kinds, and sizes to choose from. We started the meal with the calamari and pretzel sticks. The pretzel sticks are awesome. Soft and warm they are perfectly salted and come with 3 dipping sauces. The mustard one is just mustard, but there is a pepper jelly dip, and pepper cheese dip that is pretty good. The calamari was good, cooked nicely, not over breaded and the oil drizzeled on top was very good. It came mixed with jalapenos but was not overly spicy. For lunch, I got the fried chicken salad and TBG got the Gun Show burger. The salad had candied walnuts, blue cheese, carrots, cheese, and fried chicken. The menu says mixed greens, but I only saw iceburg. It also says eggs, but I do not think I got any and I maybe got one small piece of bacon. The creamy balsamic vinegrette dressing was very good. The chicken was over cooked, I actually didn't eat most of it. The Gun Show burger is a "brick" burger with a fried egg and dijon mayo. The server did not ask how TBG wanted it cooked, but he tried to tell her med rare anyway. It came out medium-well. The egg was way overcooked, not runny at all. He said the burger was still good, he missed the runny egg and ended up taking the egg off, but the burger was still juicy. The fries were really good. The server was nice, she came to check on us often. We were there on a Sunday at 1:00 during football season and they were suprisingly not busy. I would recommend coming here if you are watching a sporting event and just want to hang out, drink beer, and get apps. The apps are really good and I come back time and time again for the pretzels, but have never been totally satisfied with my meal.
