I went to Bricktown during Nov 2008 on a Friday night. The place was hardly active. I guess there was a good reason. The brewery didn't have any of their own beer available. The service was slow. The food was poor. I had chicken and it was over cooked and very dry. My wife had a salad and it was poor. She also ordered wine and they wrong wine was served. The servers were nice but they certainly lacked training and supervision. I sure hope the management turns this around quick but I have a feeling it might be too late.

We have been here twice. The first time there was no on-site brewed root beer, and the second, nothing brewed on site at all. The alternative to the on-site brews was crappy American bottled beer. leading us to think the owners don't really know about beer at all. The food was decent, but rather pricy, and we waited 45 minutes for grilled salmon and a sandwich - at a time when the restaurant was barely 1/3 full! Disappointing and they won't get our business again.
