Brickstone

Let’s start this review with the positives. The food is delicious! Pulled pork tacos were best I have had outside a BBQ restaurant. Their burgers are also above average. The sweet potato fries were a treat, as they were serve with cinnamon and brown.
Now for the glaring negatives! For the lack of patronage, it was the slowest serves I have ever experienced! We waited around 10 minutes just to be asked for our drink order. Then we ordered an appetizer and were not inform of the kitchen being out of that item until about 5 minutes before our meal being brought out. Therefore our replacement appetizer came out mid meal. All that being said the serves were friendly.
Better service would have made this a ⁴⁄₅.

Food tastes like Cafeteria food. I think the Pizzas are frozen. The whole restaurant was full of unbussed empty tables when we arrived and we had to search for a clean table, finally finding one in the back.

A small group of us decided to grab some food here after an Indians game. I ordered a soft pretzel appetizer and a cheese pizza. The pretzel was supposed to come with beer cheese and honey mustard. When it came out, there was only the mustard. When I asked about it, I was told they were out of the beer cheese and there was no way to discount on it! She obviously tried to pass it off and would have never mentioned it if I hadn’t said anything. If I had known in the first place, I wouldn’t have ordered it! Also, for being called «Brickstone,» I thought it was strange that they only offered a limited pizza menu (only cheese and pepperoni!) for game days. Definitely better restaurants around.

Slowest service I have ever experienced!
That was the main sticking point that had our party of 4 upset. We were the only table ordering food when we were there.
What irked me was that I had ordered some Mac and cheese, and what was put in front of me was no better/​different than if I had made myself a box of Velveeta shells and cheese. Not worth the time, or money.

Brickstone does the bar and grill song and dance well. Good bar food & drink specials, plus it’s close to Progressive Field. Great location to grab some drinks before and after a Tribe game. Plus, the interior is superb. Not sure when it was renovated, but the exposed brick, tile floors, and track lighting give it a chill vibe. I’ll be back.

Ate here before an Indians game on a Wed. Night. We arrived around 5 and were seated right away. Our servers were very fast and attentive. Between the 4 of us we had pizza, burger, and a chicken sandwich. Nothing was outstanding; pretty average fare, but it satisfied our needs at a reasonable price and couldn’t be any closer to the ball field for convenience.

Disappointed, sign said brats $ 2.00 beer $ 4.00 should come to 6.00, yes? No, it cost 10.48. No apology, guess what, no tip either.

Can’t really speak for the general atmosphere as I came for a catered event, but I enjoyed the event and the services. The staff working the event were attentive, and I imagine they would be very attentive when working normal tables or the bar as well.
As for the food, the pasta was pretty good (I prefer a saucier sauce and their sauce was more a light coating but plenty of spices and veggies) and the pizza was quite tasty. Some unique combinations and a solid amount of toppings – and plenty of cheese! I like my pizza to be oooooooooooozing toppings (probably why I’m in the deep dish camp of the spectrum), so I appreciated the hearty toppings :)
I’d like to return during baseball season, either for lunch before a Sunday game or for dinner afterwards!

I came here with my family and tried 4 different pizzas and they were all very good. The chicken teriyaki was my favorite (just a special unfortunately) and we also had the veggie, plain cheese and margherita. The service wasn’t great, but our server was very nice and we did get our food quickly.
Another bonus– the beers were VERY inexpensive. I got a tall pumpkin beer for $ 2.50! Very impressive especially downtown.

Not impressed. HORRIBLE service even though we were the only ones in the whole restaurant. Server took forever, he was no where to be found for refills on drinks etc., brought out the food after waiting forever for it and to top it off everything was cold. Terrible. The food was presented very nice and probably was average tasting if it wasn’t cold. Plus we paid with a gift certificate and server never bothered to give us back the remaining $. Would not recommend to anyone that’s for sure.

Stopped in earlier this week for dinner. I called ahead to see what time they closed. I suggest this if there isn’t a sporting event since they closed at 8 the night I went. I like this spot. I thought they did a good job with the bar and remodel and hear they are planning on artwork or a mural for the walls. Out server was awesome. Was very informative and helpful. I got a glass of wine and my man friend picked a beer from their list.
Food. Calamari was great. I like spice and banana peppers so for me that was a plus. The short rib pizza was bomb. Already decided we would try a basic pizza next time. My side salad was generous and also presented nicely.
Highly recommend Brickstone for dinner and would try their event room. Excited to go back!!!

Everything Could be better. Ordered he berry salad w chicken, hardly no lettuce w load of berries, the spinach dip could’ve been better. I probably won’t visit again…

The service was excellent but the food was below mediocre. Boiled ribs tossed on a grill for a minute and flavorless too sweet sauce on the pasta. Plus exorbitant prices for the quality.

Had a great meal before the tribe game. BBQ pizza was awesome and they really took care of us!

Definition of average.
Average food.
Average service.
Average décor/​ambience.
This building is becoming a restaurant graveyard, when will these folks learn? Here, in the Gateway District you have a wood fire pizza grill trying to be fancy, but doing it while only attracting stadium and arena fans.
All the servers are in black button down shirts with neck ties, while they look professional, they don’t deliver the level of service you’d expect to come with the image they convey. Heck, I’d venture to say there were two or three servers that were better when this place was called Cooperstown and Local Heroes, but they’re now long gone since the Goodfellers restaurant experiment.
My partner in crime and I had a 90-​minute lunch break, when we first say down we didn’t think they could ever serve is in time as it took a while just to get menus.
We explained to the server that we were limited on time and she was good about getting us out.
We had a four cheese pizza, and a burger. Both very average. Burger’s fries were terrible. Kinda like a restaurant serving Burger King fries.

Great food and service. We all tried something different and shared. Food and service was A+. The pizza, sliders, wings, cheeseburger. We’re well prepared and whoever is the Chef makes it great point to insure great tasting food. Great place before the game — just across the street. All of us will be back
BEH

Good food, nicely prepared and presented. From the way it came out it seemed like the person either wanted it to be good, or had at least been trained well. I sat at the bar and the bartenders were friendly an attentive. The braised short rib pizza is bangin. Good beer selection too, but you have to go to bottles to get anything unique or special. Overall nice place good food a drink. I’d recommend it to a friend, but not sure I’d make a point of going back. I visit Cleveland periodically for work. If I lived here it would likely make its way into the regular rotation. Good food, good beer, nice atmosphere and decent value.

Amazing food and service! They are right across from Progressive Field and are the perfect alternative to louder more obnoxious sports bars– plus, Brickstone has better food. It’s quiet but not awkwardly so. One side has a full bar and the other side of the restaurant will soon be hosting jazz/​blues bands according to our server. Good selection with brick oven pizzas, sliders, a few burgers, other sandwiches, and pastas. The fries are to die for! Everything has an extra special touch that you don’t usually find at places near a ball park. Two people, $ 25. Check them out!
