As the previous reviewer said, it's getting hard to find a "review" here that isn't written by an angry ex-employee or an angry ex-regular mad at all the changes. But I can see why - The Brickhouse (formerly Playmakers) used to be decent but is straight-up terrible now. I guess I'm an ex "semi-regular" - only went there for trivia night but just stopped going after a while. Why? a) the food is the worst kind of bar food- greasy and expensive. The menu keeps changing every week, and that's not a good thing. Some weeks they decide they want only bar food like sandwiches, wraps, wings, etc.. next week the menus suddenly push steaks and meatloaf. Doesn't matter because none of it is any good. The best item was the bbq nachos, but that's strangely gone. b) The chalkboard that shows what dishes they're "out" of always seems to be filled up. Orders are constantly changed on you - don't be surprised if 20 minutes after your order, the waitress suddenly tells you they ran out of x item you ordered. Who's in charge of stocking the kitchen? c) the "specials" used to be good with $2 or $3 beers and 1/2 price appetizers, but that's gone too. EVERYTHING is overpriced now. d) the constantly revolving wait-staff is more often than not, terrible. Sorry to offend any ex-employees reading this, but bottom line is service was awful. Waitresses would run up to you on the way out the door saying they miscounted drinks and you suddenly owed them more. I've been told a drink special/price was one thing, then told it was another come check time. I was served a meatloaf and mashed potatoes without gravy and the waitress, instead of admitting a mistake tried to explain b/c it was the nightly special you don't get gravy(!!) Oh, and e) the website is dead and nobody picks up the phone half the time you call them. The place closes down for "emergencies" (i.e. water heaters exploding and apparently from this site - staff walkouts) more than any place I know. Bottom line: stay away.
Pros: trivia guy is nice, place changes frequently so it MIGHT be good by the time you read this
Cons: expensive, bad food, bad service, unreliable
