Brickhouse in Southend-on-Sea

Lovely food, very reasonable prices, fast service, friendly staff. One of my favourite places to eat in Southend-on-sea.

Had a wonderful “Roast in the post” delivered. Every element was delicious and heated up brilliantly. Looking forward to the leftovers.

Was greeted pleasantly on arrival, gentleman was very polite and accommodating, food was very tasty, daughter had chicken bites with a generous bowl of dipping sarrachi sauce, I had grilled chicken wrap.

Food was amazing. Everything was great, I celebrated my birthday. Just was a cold inside because no heating on.

Food was good. Large portion sizes and reasonable prices. Drinks were also nice cocktails worked out reasonable on the 2 for £12 offer. However the wait for drinks was long as they seemed understaffed. Staff were nice but there didn’t seem to be many of them. Atmosphere was cold. Literally freezing cold. In the middle of January you’d expect heating to be on and it to be warmer inside than out. We did ask about this to be told it was as high as it went and then when we questioned again after feeling the radiator for it to not be on we were told the heating was broken. Honestly I’m not exaggerating when I say I was shivering, as was my son who sat with his coat on for the evening. By the end of the evening I couldn’t feel my feet. We were also sat by the door which every time it opened made it so much worse. Unsure why when we were noticeably cold we were moved to the upstairs away from the doors where there were abundant seats available. Honestly wouldn’t return as for as nice as the food was you expect to be comfortable during your dinner and not fighting for your life trying to keep warm.

Had work lunch here and it was absolutely lovely

Truffle fries were incredible. Steak was even better! Friendly attentive staff and amazing prices. We will be back! :)

Great food and cocktails at great price, barman/staff were very welcoming and attentive,

Always a personal welcome and smile with a quick service and colleagues more than willing to help. Feel comfortable and great atmosphere.

Visited on Saturday. Burgers were soooo good. Thank you.

Food was good but we waited nearly an hour for it. We were a large party so granted we know it'll take a while but the first two meals came out and then another two showed up about 15 mins after. There was 14 of us so none of us actually ate together in the end. The people serving weren't great we had to chase up drinks and it's like they were on a go slow. It wasn't majorly busy in there, it got busier after we ordered and we saw tables getting their food before any of ours. Food was good but the service was really poor.

Update on last visit. What a change in a restaurant. The starters were Luke warm, and no chicken wings that was the main reason we went. The main courses were well over an hour, and when we asked how much longer, the reply was" have you ordered". The food then came within 5 minutes, It was stodgy and grim, both of us left the majority of it. My wife won't go back. I probably agree, as service was pretty poor, no one cleared the table of anything other than glasses, or asked I'd it was OK. When you read how good the first visit was, I am really surprised. It only takes 1 bad experience to put customers off! Ordering is via app, but if you don't do apps you can go to the bar. It wasn't very busy at 7 on a Saturday night. I ordered 3 drinks on the app and they were on the table very shortly after. I ordered the chicken wings which were crispy in a honey djrizzle that were above and beyond for both of us, we will be going back just on these alone. I then made a mistake on the drinks order, which the waitress resolved without any hassle or any extra charge, thanks. I then made an additional mistake by ordering an extra patty in my burger, which I accepted due to being greedy. The burgers for us were very nice and again I would go back and have again. The chips were what I would expect of a decent eatery, so thumbs up from us. My partner was full up but managed to pretty much demolish the fudge cake, whilst I tried the Ferrero desert, it had no chocolates on it, but was really nice and reminded me of the chocolates in the taste. Lovely pornstar martini. There were no sauces or salt on the table, but as soon as I stood up the waitress ran over to see if she could assist. The last order we had was the deserts and a round of drinks, the drinks came after the desert and I had to get up to get them. I really wanted them at the same time, this was really the only let down we had. Possibly add some safe way of tipping. We will be going back. Been back twice now, each time it was great!

The perfect place for a burger, a drink and a good time!

Beautiful food and very plentiful thank you

Love Roast in the Post food is amazing, huge portions and so easy to just pop back in the oven. Much needed after a long day at work, looking forward to to my Christmas Day Dinner.

Really enjoyed the burger, good quality meat. Chips were lush with the brick house seasoning. A really nice vibe about the place. Highly recommend

Gluten and garlic free diner. Separate non-gluten menu with plenty of choices for starters, mains; limited desserts (ice creams or chocolate brownie (yawn)). Staff very helpful and knowledgeable. Garlic mushrooms removed from my choice and replaced with extra fries, garlic mayo swapped for plain mayo. Everything hot, freshly cooked to order and tasty (burger with blue cheese). Because everything is freshly cooked to order and because the restaurant is popular, expect to wait for your order (30 mins for the ice cream to arrive, but so worth it!). Portions were more than adequate! Restaurant was very clean, as were the toilets. With my dietary needs, I felt very safe. I will definitely return. Separate gluten-free prep station in the kitchen and separate fryer.

My own experience was we had our Christmas lunch there but all the food was served for around 20 of us at various times meaning we couldn’t all eat together. My veggie burger was gross it was not edible, however I can see it would be to some.

Absolutely love this place been several times, staff are lovely, love their super cheesy fries and brickhouse veggie wraps, and their milkshakes are brill love the five fingers rum milkshake 😊❤️

Great place. First visit and will go back. Best burger I've had for ages. Great service too x

For a burger & and chips, it's very expensive. Burger has too much in it to taste anything individually. Chips were soggy and overpowered by the gravy. For the dirty fries for the range of topping, I think it is excessive. A service charge is added when ordering the meal, I think, as it is unfair as there is no way to not tip, and the service the staff provides is bringing drinks and food. As for the atmosphere, there was any.

Amazing food and drinks every time we come!! Ben the bar manager and all the bar staff, are always so warm and friendly! we come in each week just for the friendly custom and tasty reasonable priced drinks!! A pleasure every time highly recommend!

Amazing food and the friendliest staff. I would eat there every day if I could haha. Keep.up the good work guys and I'll defo see you lot soon

Great food, tasty cocktails and friendly staff. The boston bacon is one of my all time favourites! Always worth a visit if your in Southend!

Had a great time at The Brickhouse after the fireworks on Saturday . Great food quick and efficient service and a great atmosphere.

Came here last night 9.11 just for a couple of drinks this time, eaten here plenty of times and always great- absolutely heaving but still such amazing service from all the staff !!!!!! Ben, Jamie. Aimee, Kieron all fab!!!

Awful!!! Really rude service and waited over an hour for cold undercooked food

Came for the 'Roast In The Post' Sunday special. Wow! Very nice indeed! 3 meats, chicken gammon and 16hr beef brisket, all the veg, lovely yorkies and roasties. Had the pigs in blankets as a side, very nice too. Well done to the chef (Kieran I understand) and all the staff, bar, runners, kitchen etc. and a special thank you to our server Jamie and to Ozzy, well done lads.

Wow another great Saturday night after the fireworks. Food and drinks delivered as ordered. Highly recommend as the bar staff and waiters coped with a really busy night

It was luke warm food ,kept bringing drinks before food.waited 1.5hr for a basic meal.

Food was cold took 1an a half hours raw burger some took cold food back treated with no respect booked for 25

Waited about an hour and a half for undercooked cold food, burger was pink inside, was so hungry I just made do and manage to eat half, my friend sent hers back and received another cold meal, very disappointed and im quite easy to please when it comes to food, first and last time I will be eating here.

We waited 50 minutes for our food, when we kindly asked the waiter just for an eta he was extremely rude and told us he’d been working for 4 hours. The food turned up and the JD wings tasted like cigarettes, the bacon in the wrap was just pure fat. The lemonade tasted like pure lemon juice. Food was also cold when it turned up but no point complaining as they don’t care and we’d already waited so long. The ‘brick house seasoning’ on the chips is just extremely large shards of salt - I thought it was parmesan when it turned up. Can’t believe we paid £30 each to not eat anything.

The classic burger was good but lacked seasoning The Kentucky burger was great Cheesy bacon fries are delicious

Always so lovely, the best in town Would really recommend it Why not give it a try

Really delicious food and very friendly staff. The beer was cheap and I liked the atmosphere, great music choices. I’ve been twice now and had a banging time both times. Strongly recommend for a nice VERY AFFORDABLE meal

We just had a call, cancelling our staff Christmas party after numerous phone calls to discuss the event and having already paid deposits to secure the date. Clearly a better offer has come along that trumped ours! Maybe just be transparent from the start in future when you get enquiries, rather than taking and dropping bookings as-&-when it suits you. It's just bad form!

So disappointed to say that this was not a good experience, having never been to brick house before but hearing good things I can say that it didn’t live up to the expectations. Food took 50 minutes and was very poor for the price that we paid was served on paper so went soggy and ended up basically eating the paper too. Spent £60 on food I would say was worth about £30 me and my partner agreed we should have gone to Nando’s across the road. Very disappointed and upset to say the least. I would say listen and read the reviews as I can see I’m not the only one that’s had this experience.

Amazing Sunday Roast, delivered to our home, would highly recommend

The beef in the burger is very juicy and flavourful. I got the beef chilli loaded fries which was lovely. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Satisfied our meat cravings. Will visit again.

Delicious food, easy to order and catered for me, gluten intolerant.

Food was very good, I had steak and chips and was very tasty and good value.

I took my daughter to the Brickhouse in Southend. Absolutely enjoyed every minute. The food was amazing!! My daughter stated that she really enjoyed how juicy the burgers were and it will keep her full for ages Thank you all, well done 👏

Rank food! Cold hotdog list can go on

Went here a little while ago with partner and some friends for pre drinks and food. I had a burger as did most of us and it was quite nice. Little on the pricier side but still nice food would go again if the opportunity arises.

One off our favorite places to eat the food is great and very feeling, the place looks very trendy and clean and the cocktails are wonderful.

Good place to eat, went in the evening for dinner, vast menu and tasty food. Although waited 45 + minutes for food and around 20 minutes just for a cola and a lemonade. Shocking really ! It’s also cheeky and disappointing the mandatory service charge every time you order food or drinks, as the waiters aren’t taking your order for you, they are just bringing it over 45 minutes after ordering ??? I have got to say to Ashley - waiter that works there, deserves a raise. He’s rushed off of his feet and you can see the amount of effort he puts in to get the orders out, running up and downstairs. Just phenomenal. 10/10 just for Ashley

Amazing cocktails, always come back for them

Very impressed with the quality of the food , the quantity. Enjoyed by us all. Excellent delivery service

Took an hour wait for a burger with some chicken wings. Then when the burger came it didn't even have the blue cheese in it so had to send it back. It wasn't even busy so don't understand why the food took so long and was wrong

We frequently go to brickhouse. Good food and good vibes. Love the lounge, great to chill out but still have fun with shuffle board or the pool tables.

The food was good. I really enjoyed the loaded chips. Very yummy. I also had the chicken strips, it wasn't as great. Probably my choice of sauce wasn't the best. Use the online menu. It's easier to understand and there are pictures.

Food wonderful staff polite, place clean but place could have better lighting

This company will constantly spam your inbox with offers trying to tempt you in. When you arrive their customer service quickly disappears, the food is served cold, the beer is flat, the food is average, chips are over priced. £3 extra for pulled pork on chips. Turns out to be just a small dollop from a table spoon. If they paid as much attention to their food and service as their spam emails this place would be great

Headed here for a little date night meal. Staff were absolutely lovely, can't fault them. Vegan options (THANK YOU!!) were great and generally all food was fab. Nice interior & love the light shades... If you ever get rid of them please sent them my way (The ones around the bar haha)

Everything was perfect the staff was so polite I am so proud to call this restaurant the best one in southend on sea. And a massive thank you to the staff who served us Jay and cat they was so polite and professional I can give them a 100/100 and more

Have ordered from here for years and is always very tasty food, we occasionally eat in which is equally.very enjoyable and great, Cat is the best person for any recommendations, you will not be disappointed, Ben also has a wealth of cocktail knowledge and always happy to help, would highly recommend

The food took ages to arrive. We were a big ish party but if you can’t cope don’t take the booking. When it did arrive at best it was warm. Didn’t want to send it back as it took a millennium to arrive. It was tasteless, in fact road kill would have been more appetising. I would not recommend this restaurant even if there was nowhere else to eat. Spend your hard earned elsewhere

Easy to order on the app .Lovely food milkshakes yummy great service .What a bargain with kids meals only £1 each

Great burgers. Friendly staff. Fairly sparse service.

The Brickhouse never disappoints. The food is always full of flavor and amazing. The staff are very attentive and friendly.

Had a nice bit of food was going to go for a burger when the manager suggested the ribs now I don't normally eat ribs but these are gorgeous tender and fell of the bone nicely... the loaded fries and mac and cheese was gorgeous deffently be back... Ben the manager was friendly and welcoming and deffently knows he does...

Excellent food and atmosphere on an early Friday night meal. Knowledgeable bar manager and super reasonably priced. The burgers and wings are awesome

Really lovely burger place. Staff were very friendly and were great with allergy advice. Great for kids as well

First of all, they had a qr code menu and order form but no wifi. You could order at the bar but why have the qr code if there’s no wifi?? Also, we order off two separate phones but they were both linked to the same table but one of our meals came out significantly sooner than the other. I got the LA chili burger which was okay. Not much flavor to it honestly. The side order of fries were probably the best thing. What really brings this down to two stars is that my friend got the steak over fries and it seemed as though they poured a whole stick of melted butter on top. The steak was dry and chewy but that wasn’t the worst part. It was on a bed of fries that were literally swimming in butter. Practically inedible. The drinks were fine. We both got a willy wonka. Would not come back here.

Took the Cyber Trust team out for a team get together. Burgers were great. Great range and nice cocktails. Great having the option of pool upstairs. We will be using again.

Amazing food! Best place for burgers and cocktails! Ben was very friendly and helpful!

Nice place, nice staff, nice food

Food was very nice, arrived fairly quickly and everything from a fairly complex order was correct. Nice atmosphere and Cat was friendly and helpful. A very pleasant experience.

Great food and drinks, great customer service and great atmosphere!!

Fantastic and friendly bar. Great food and unbeatable cocktails.

Absolutely awful, seriously gone downhill. Terrible service and terrible food, used to be great. Managed to burn cold food! Four different meals and all bad. Wasn’t busy so that’s no excuse.

Bad experience, Attitude by staff with no help to customer. The place has poor ventilation.

I was very pleasantly surprised, The food was very tasty and our server Kieran I think his name was absolutely adorable, very helpful and efficient. I will definitely return and also recommend.

Ordered from here and the food was amazing! Definitely recommend the slider taster box! x3 sliders and x3 sides 😍😍

If you love burgers, come and smash one or 18, see website for big menu

Good atmosphere. Great service and reasonable prices.

Been here a few times and the food is always good. They were busy this time but managed to squeeze in 6 of us kindly for 90 mins. The only downer was our meals were staggered quite badly. Some of us had finished our meals before others even received theirs. Mine took 50 mins but it was very nice when it arrived. It's the only downer of app ordering. Miami BBQ wrap and chicken wings all the way. Will be heading there again at some point if they stay open. Everyone had a good time and enjoyed the food. The topped fries are excellent 👌

Goid food, great atmosphere and very reasonable prices. The Boston bacon burger was excellent, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We’ll be coming back for sure.

I would recommend this to anyone and their families , I’ve always seen it but never came in but decided to pop in today and the amount of food you get for the price is amazing , I would recommend the brickhouse box , three little burger sliders with three choices of sides only for £14 , great music , great service from kat thank you for a great time x

Came for my birthday, spent a lot of money. Unnecessarily unhelpful staff. Also cold food. But it's the service. There are people here who don't care if this business succeeds. Whoever owns this place needs to fix that.

Really nice. Staff are polite and will let you use the toilet. Pool tables upstairs and you pay with card which is only £1.50 a game. Atmosphere is really nice not too busy and toilets are clean.

Love the place but the service is pretty poor

Fantastic place to eat. We like to make use of the burger meal deal, and the staff are always so lovely. Shout out to Cat who served us today, a smiley and helpful face to make the experience all the more enjoyable.

Worst takeaway we have ever had. The vegan beef patty tasted awful, the caramelized onions were soggy, and the pickles were rancid and most definitely out of date. The chips were ordered with the brickhouse seasoning but were plain without even salt. Never ordering from here again, we wasted nearly £30 on this bad food unfortunately.

Terrible takeaway. The onions and pickles taste and look like they were bought from the reduced section in a local grocery store. The burgers were tasteless and soggy. Serious quality issue.

Cat the waitress was really nice and checked on us a lot was lovely x

From ordering, it took well over an hour. The man was rude & arrogant when I asked him why so long politely. I asked him to hold one while I checked if food was cold and he just walked off. Have it on door bell footage. The burgers were warm but chips stone cold. It’s a real pity because we’ve eaten there before and enjoyed all and ordered many times. Will not order again and will not recommend

Great food and service as always . Cat was a brilliant waitress

Went here, not good. Quite overpriced, paid almost 20 pound for an average portion of bacon cheesy chips, a few chicken nuggets and a small ice cream. Firstly, they didn't have the toppings I chose for my ice cream which was a bit annoying. Then it took about 20 minutes to bring out my food and the bacon cheesy chips were horrible. The chicken was ok however the rest was sub par. The ice cream I ordered was brought out much later than the other food meaning I had to wait a while after eating my meal for the ice cream to come out, which was served in a cheap paper cup and was also not nice. Overall not good, wouldn't recommend.

My Experience Is So Good! The Staff Is Fantastic 😊 I'm Really Amazed How The The Food And Beverages Are Very Good I'm Glad

Popped in at 4.30 was seated ordered through the app not too bad waited for drinks about 10 minutes, waited nearly half an hour for food which was just warm, burger was pink, my husband took the food back! Nobody apologised to us at all 10 minutes later new food was bought to our table (why did we have to wait so long the 1st time?) Unfortunately my husband then had to go to an empty table for new cutlery and serviettes 2nd lot of food was hot! But there was not even an apology when dumping 2nd lot of food on our table, not even a bye as we left, such a shame the customer service has gone downhill since our last visit!

We were at the Brickhouse on Eadter Monday at 4pm. We hsd prebooked. W.e placed our order with a very helpful member off staff behind the bar. The order came to over£125. A few minures later we were told the chicken wings three of us had ordered were not available as they had run out. We eere asked to order an alternative. The othet two ordered chicken alternatives, however I ordered ribs. The person returned and said the manager had said because of the diffference in price we had to charge more. We asked to see the manager who duly appeared and I explained it was not our fault they had run out of wings, so I said we have just spent £125 as a gesture of good will can't you honour the yhe difference in price. She replied other people had spent £230 so I cannot do it. I said you just don't care about your customers and received no reply. We spent total£250. The difference in meals£6.45. Disgusting treatment by manager. Never again.

Unbelievable taste great new menu decently priced

Will not be going back again. Food expensive and spare ribs lack of them .bad service all round.

Ordered two burgers, three fries, a wrap and chicken wings. Both burgers were wrapped in tin foil, so both were soggy with oil and crushed flat by the delivery driver. The fries were cold, and the wrap had a fishy flavour. Finally the chicken was tasty but the coating was soggy. Ate what we could, but we didn't get far before we couldn't stomach any more. Massive let down that cost me £50+. Only good thing to come out of this was uber refunded £2.50.

Ordered ribs and they was full of fat. The fries was over cooked. The glass that I drank from had a horrible taste. I couldn't ask for a refund I was too angry and I would have had to return everything. Service was fine but other than that not nice food

Hot dogs amazing sliders amazing. Staff friendly.

Good burger and reasonably prompt service. Lass that greeted and seated us was very chatty and welcoming 👍🏻

Extremely dry chicken burger, had to order another drink to wash it down. The chips tasted like they was flicked off somebody's shoes. Friendly staff, but the food isn't worth the money.
