We love coming here! Came back after my husband tried the pork chop while out with friends. Well worth it of course! The pork chop was well prepared, seasoned and juicy. I got the garlic mashed potatoes as one of my sides and it was an excellent choice. I love having potato skin in my mash. We also ordered the whipped feta for an appetizer, which is one of our favorites. The atmosphere is welcoming and we love sitting in the bar section. Not too loud, plenty of TV viewing. The service is top notch and parking is never a problem, even on a Saturday night. Always one of our favorite spots and we'll always keep coming back! Please keep the pork chop on the menu for as long as possible!

This was our first visit to 20 Brix and we will most definitely be back! The salmon, the shrimp and grits with the polenta, and the Brix Board were all outstanding. As were the drinks and the service!! The restaurant is delightful.
