I'll take it into consideration. Trying to get the girl some driving time in, so that is a small hike to get there and back.
I don't mind paying a little more for good food, however, I have gotten wings in just about every place that we have been to (that sells them, obviously) around the tri-county area over the last 3 years. $11 for 6 wings is a bit on the pricey side. Having said that, they *were* very good, as was everything else. We will go back.

Well, this is far from an Crapplebee's... $16-$24 for an entree is not crazy.

Just passed by Brick on the way home from Olney, and noticed their new sign. The 'B' and the 'R' have burned out already, so it says 'ICK'. Just thought it was funny, and would share. 
I am sure they know, and will fix it soon.

Had my first visit last week.
A) Huge crowd...bar was packed, Parking lot full.
B) Plenty of wait staff, everybody hustling.
C) Menu was upscale,...as were the prices
D) Pizza was enough for two...and I realized that burnt edges just ain't my thing.
E) Not going back any time soon...maybe if they offer some BOGO offers.

The best menu that Sysco and/or US Foods can supply.

All pizzas are cooked in a blazing hot brick oven in Italy, I can't wait to try the pizzas at Brick Oven Bistro.
That chicken was so good I need to write some food porn about it.
The wood fired chicken dinner is two spatchcocked and boned breasts with the drumette attached. It was marinated in something wonderful, seasoned liberally with za'atar, then flame grilled, and Monello and I figured it must have been finished in the oven.
It was moist. It was juicy. It was flavorful. It was nicely charred and smoky. I want to eat it every day. I want to marry it and bear its love child. I can't get it out of my head. All chickens should eat right and say their prayers that some day they can become the wood fired chicken at Brick. I'm almost sorry I had it because there are so many things on the menu that I'd like to try, but Brick chicken and I are now in a committed relationship.
On the side were roasted potatoes, which Monello liked, and a clever iron pot of Brussel sprouts, which I devoured. The sprouts were sweet and tart, combined with what I think were pickled onions. Monello didn't care for them bit I thought they were delicious. The potatoes were good but had too much tummy room competition for me to get involved.
For an appetizer we had the street corn, which was very unique and delicious. Five niblets, served on a wood board with compound butter, green salsa, lime wedges, salt, and some type of Mexican seasoning. The presentation was really cool, and the corn was nicely charred.
We also had a margherita pizza that was amazing. My first bite wasn't spectacular, but once I sprinkled a little salt on it the 'za came alive. That crust...my god. Usually I like my pizza loaded with stuff, but it would be a crime to gunk up that crust too much.
Yeah, we'll be going back.

I was trying to decide between the chicken & pork chops. I'm glad I got the pork chops, because they were excellent, but the chicken will be my next conquest, especially after this review! I had the Brussel sprouts and they were on time!

Impressive, like the menus with whole numbers!

You have a future as a restaurant reviewer/ food critic...

My food reviews are not meant for people who don't know what "spatchcocked" is. Those people should stick to Pizza Hut and Applebee's.

On another note, I find myself wanting to punch Yelp reviewers. One guy bitched because it isn't a burgers and fried appetizer crap hole; another one didn't understand the concept of proper wood fired pizza; still another was bent because the hostess didn't drop what she was doing to take care of their special needs person; one reviewer said the menu wasn't very diverse. All of those complaints are ridiculous.
My only complaint - and it's not a complaint so much as an observation - is that they don't use enough salt in their food. But of course, then they DO properly season their food and people bitch because it's too salty. GOD! Anyway, it was a simple fix to give it a sprinkle. The chicken needed nothing to make it perfect.
