Brick’s Smoked Meats
Love the tiles: the top L was in my home, the top R in Shanghai, both were made by Chee Hsin

Another restaurant with ‘Brick’ in its name – hopefully this owner/manager isn’t going to be nasty as Hales Blackbricks, can take genuine and constructive critics.
Probably won’t return.
Love their decor – high ceiling, industrial. The last booth by the bathroom is angled. I don’t know they did that to shield the bathroom entrance or needed to be. In any case, it looks good. Two big open windows connect their outdoor area. The length of the bar looks out to a garage.
I particularly enjoyed their tiled tables: the patterns are familiar to Chee Hsin’s, which I’ve a book on it, self published on Amazon.
The service is good. The pretty young girl has red and purple nail polish – maybe I should go for the purple, to match my hair.
The food is a little trying. The bacon burnt end is on the sweet side but is tender. The brisket is thick and dry. With the butter knife, cutting became a chore. The ribs is a little softer than the brisket, but have it better many other places.
The young girl, the maitre d’ and a lady in black pants came over, asking how’s everything – they certainly care.
