Brickfront in Laconia?

Overlake97 · 05-06-2010, 09:12 AM

Tried the Brickfront the other day for dinner. Food was indeed very good, especially the soups. I tried the sausage vegetable and my wife had the Chicken Orzo (or was it Turkey?). Both were excellent and obviously homemade, with the chicken/turkey being very fresh. I had their ribs, which were also very good (and the half rack was plenty), as were the basic non-coated, non-tampered-with french fries.

There were however, two non-food related negatives: First, the place was clearly a big hit with smokers at one time, as the walls still retain that acrid nicotine/smoke residue smell. It's not strong, and you forget about it/habituate to it quickly, but it is noticeable. Also, the day we were there it was balmy and getting cooler outside, but warm and very humid inside. I'm guessing they were holding off on the A/C because it was a Tuesday, and there were only 2 parties in the dining room.

The verdict: We'll definitely try them again, but not until a phone call confirms that the A/C is ON.

I know someone who works in the kitchen there and he is a great chef. He has been there for a long time now and puts his heart and soul into everything he makes.

I highly suggest going there for lunch or dinner, also for drinks in the lounge. Lunch prices are reasonable if you get a burger or sandwich and dinner is also very good with a good selection. Drinks here are probably the cheapest around, if not THE cheapest (they don't add tax to the drinks, but they are cheap anyways).

They also have outdoor seating now with the warmer weather approaching.

Argie and I frequented that place when we were dating but haven't been in a few years but always had a nice time. The food was always good and a good value. The service was always very good. We felt at home there because we could go in our jeans or our work clothes (tie, suit, etc.) and never felt out of place. Now that the youngest Argelet is doing better we are getting out more... we'll have to make it a point to go to The Brickfront again... it's been too long!
