Brickmans Restaurant & Bar - San Marcos, California

Our Christmas Eve dinner at Brickmans Restaurant & Bar was truly delightful! The location itself is charming, but the festive Christmas decorations elevated the ambiance, creating a warm and inviting holiday atmosphere.

We opted for the pre-fix dinner, and it was absolutely worth every penny. The meal was not only delicious but also perfectly portioned and shareable, making it ideal for a family gathering. Dining at 5 PM allowed us to enjoy a relaxed and unhurried experience, soaking in the festive vibes.

The restaurant is incredibly family-friendly, making it a perfect spot to gather with both friends and loved ones during the holidays. The excellent customer service was the cherry on top—attentive, warm, and professional throughout our meal.

Overall, Brickmans Restaurant & Bar provided us with a memorable Christmas dining experience, and we can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to celebrate in a cozy and welcoming setting.

Love the changes made from the old grill to Brickmans! We've been here a couple of times now, and the food has all been good. The PRETZEL is one of the best I've had - fluffy, fresh, with good beer cheese. The burgers are all really good, and the $15 price is awesome as it includes their specialty burgers (like the truffle burger) and includes the choice of fries or side. I would say the truffle burger needs more "truffle" flavor, but I like strong flavors, so that's my opinion. The chipotle sauce is the best and has a nice roasted kick to it. The fish and chips were good, nice large pieces of flakey white fish. The atmosphere with a view of the golf course and heaters and fire pits outside is perfect, quiet, and relaxing, especially for a date. The inside is nice and modern as well, but I always love the option to sit outside if I can. It wasn't crowded during the week, plus they have happy hour! I'd definitely call about a reservation for the weekend or a special event. Will definitely continue to come back here!

So pleased and pleasantly surprised. We visited over Christmas time, the bar area so decorated so cute, like wow! Everything we ordered was excellent. Do try the hummus plate, so fresh and yummy! Also, the tomato soup was probably the best EVER! Our server was excellent and so helpful. Loved the casual vibe and relaxing environment. The only thing I'd add is lighting to the outside area against the building, it was soooooooo dark. I can't tell you how many people we observed being sat there and immediately asked to move (I know I wanted to). Other than that the fire pits are an awesome touch. Sure seems like a great place for groups. Can't wait to return and catch some music playing. Just go!

The setting- Outdoor dining looking over the driving range with their beautiful gardens, light breezes and warming fire pits set the stage.

Service - several new servers are outstanding and friendly.

Food - Crab cake appetizer is super flavorful with a lovely fresh salad. Beet and goat cheese salad with perfectly cooked salmon is yummy. Last night we had the salmon main course and it was really really good. And their fish and chips are the best I’ve ever had.

A group of us women came to Brickman's for our Happy Hour event. Service was horrible & the worst part is that he didn't seem to care!! 40 mins to get our drinks. Most of them weren't correct, few garnishes, & I got a can of beer with no glass. We had to ask for everything - even water!! Once the food servers brought our meals our waiter came back 1 time. We had to ask for our bills. Then he never came back! We had to go to HIM. If the food wasn't so good I'd say we'd never go back. Such a disappointment.

Regulars here. The location, golf atmosphere is great. Food is average, a few things on the menu are hits and others are not.

Out of all the times I’ve been here last Sunday in the bar area our servers name I believe was Karla or Krystal (spoke spanish) She was amazing! Even though she was extremely busy she kept making sure to check in with each guests. When her colleagues would come help she would thank them. Overall her service really made me enjoy the experience all over again.

Great restaurant alongside golf course with an outdoor patio equipped with many TVs allowing for 360 degree viewing. The fire pits are super and food and service top notch.

Family lunch for 9. Food was delicious. Service was great. Even though we sat inside there are large glass windows where you could see the outdoor dining terrace and the golf course. Would definitely eat here again.
