The three of us tried this restaurant because of the many interesting items on the menu. We ordered a bunch of dishes, most of them without meat, and not one of them was disappointing. Most of the them were starters but the sizes were quite generous. All the staff was friendly and the service pretty attentive. So, overall a good experience and a place we'll return to in order to try some of the other items.

We booked here as we couldn’t get into the newer steakhouses in Bend with a day of reservation. I had been years ago and always had a good experience. The specials and menu were great as with many options to choose from. Two of us had seafood and two had steaks. All was delicious!! Service was great as well. Restaurant was full and ambiance felt cozy and noise was minimal. I marked value as less but not necessarily specific to this restaurant as prices at all the restaurants in Bend have increased. The food / service was very good but still seemed too high priced for 4 people. We had a lovely evening and would definitely go again. Brickhouse continues to be a great choice!
