The Brick American Kitchen & Bar - American restaurant in Kendall - 8955 SW 72nd Pl, USA

I give 4 stars instead of five for a couple of reasons. Our waiter, Nico, was great! We loved him! Super nice and helpful and took great care of us. BUT, our food took SO LONG to get to us! I’m sure it wasn’t his fault. We went around 3:30 in the afternoon and NO ONE was there! We were the only people in the entire restaurant, so “busy” definitely wasn’t the reason. I ordered the fish tacos and my daughter ordered a grilled cheese and tomato bisque. So “what” we ordered was also not the reason for the delay. The order should have taken 15-20 minutes max to prepare. We waited for at least 40 minutes for our food. My tacos came out first and then we waited for another 10 minutes for my daughter’s soup and grilled cheese to come out. I can make that at home in 5 minutes! The other thing is that it seemed like one half of the grilled cheese sandwich was just one slice of bread, and then cheese. So my daughter didn’t even bother eating it. (See picture). The soup was delicious and she took some leftovers home. My tacos were also delicious and I ate all of them. The second reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is because the women’s restroom smelled really bad of urine. The restroom looked clean, but did not smell clean! Usually women’s restrooms smell pretty good because they use a lot of air fresheners. They need to take care of that because it’s not appetizing. Finally, we waited, but had to go inside to ask for a box and the bill. This was my first time here. I might try it again. The prices were decent. I think our bill was under $35 for the two of us. I’d probably try it again, but go for dinner. They did offer to validate our parking.

Everything we ate tasted delicious. You can tell it's fresh from the farm. The eggs, the avocado toast, the grilled cheese and tomato soup. They have a nice selection for everyone. Loved the area and sitting outside. They validate garage parking. Great service. The bottomless Bloody Mary is a plus and the apple wood bacon was delicious and I don't like bacon on my drink. It was a nice lunch. And they also gave a few brunch items which we didn't try. The food averages about $20 pl plus drinks.

The latest reviews for this place sounded convincingly good. Contrary to what was said, this place could be better. We had the mahi mahi taco and veg burger. Unfort they weren’t great. My kids ordered sliders and mac & cheese. Word of caution, mac & cheese is not the traditional macaroni pasta but rather it’s made from cauliflower. Wish the waiter informed us that beforehand especially when a child is ordering it. Better yet, put it on the menu so people know! At least funky Buddha didn’t disappoint and certainly didn’t mind the dining atmosphere.

This place is amazing and the food was fantastic! Cannot say enough about the wonderful service we received while visiting from out of town at this great restaurant. Now just take a good look at the photos and you will see not only a great presentation but very good tasting food. Both the burger and tacos were amazing fresh and hot! 5 stars to the team and management.

Superb service, superb food, beautiful environment. I absolutely love this place. The entire menu is really great, however I cannot stress enough how badly you NEED to try the truffle fries.

First of all: the service. The attention, the care and the dedication. We felt like we were the only ones. That made the entire experience way better. The food was out of this world. My picky kid loved the Mac and cheese. Every single dish was delicious. Definitely, we will keep coming back.

Food was OK. Ordered turkey club, which was just a turkey sandwich, not layered as expected. Yuca chips were great. Friends ordered avocado Greek salad, one had romaine, other had arugula, neither had more than a quarter of a hass avocado. Not enough staff. One person out front, one in the kitchen. That's the reason for the service rating. Rosa was great when she was able to get to us.

The food and ambiance were fantastic!!! The Veggie Burger and sweet potato fries were delicious!!!!! My friend ordered a Caesar Salad and they loved it! We were pleasantly surprised to have spent a total of $59 for dinner and drinks!
