    Came in for their thanksgiving day buffet (2024). It was really nicely done. They had a large buffet with lots on offer from turkey and cranberry sauce to tritip and fancy cheese and charcuterie board. They had shrimp cocktail and smoked salmon with lots of side offerings and salads. All the savory food was delicious and very well prepared. The desserts were the typical premade, frozen, bought-in stuff. Not great but not terrible either. I felt like I definitely got good value for the money we spent. And I’ll be back next thanksgiving if they offer their buffet again.

    My friend and I went to Brickman's for Thanksgiving today. It was the best restaurant Thanksgiving meal I've ever had! It was buffet style and there were so many options. Everything you could want. Quality and taste were perfection. Price was very reasonable, too. Ambiance was very festive for the holidays with lots of attention to the details. Staff was friendly and very helpful. We had reservations and we were seated right away even though it was packed. There was a cute bar area too with a nice view of the golf course and an outdoor dining area option. It's a hidden gem in my neighborhood in Lake San Marcos. I'll definitely be back!

    The Turkey was processed turkey breast. Deserts were not good store bought. Took many servers and they were not very fast.

    We had been to Brickman's for dinner a few days earlier and had an amazing truffle burger and salad (we both had the same) followed by a chocolate chip cookie desert that was fabulous. So we decided to try brunch. This is a no frills menu of all your favorite things, burger, pancakes, a twist on eggs benedict but my husbands eyes widened at the size of the breakfast burrito which was fabulous and I couldn't have been happier with my smoked salmon toast on sourdough bread. It was scrumptious. Add to that a perfect peach bellini (not too peach and not too sweet) and we call this brunch a success!

    Great food and atmosphere! If you like wine, I suggest getting the wine club membership. I love that they have live music on the weekends too.

    We were surprised! Good service & good food! Only complaint was that though the Beet salad was wonderful it just had way too much dressing on it! Otherwise, it was a great experience.

    Amazing little gem in the neighborhood. Food is exceptional and I recommend sitting on their patio and listen to the live music. Our server Heather was prompt and friendly and we felt like we gained a friend by the end. This was our first time and we will be regulars.
