Prices at Brick House Tavern + Tap depend on the dish cut, beverage selection, portion size, and current tavern combo specials. We do not publish rigid binding figures on our inquiry portal because fresh wholesale beef markets, seasonal vegetable harvests, and customized kitchen additions change day-to-day invoice totals. Current menu pricing is always verified in our dining room at 12910 Northwest Fwy.
When you seat a party of four or gather twenty colleagues for an evening game, our scratch line delivers hot plates without the long pauses typical of banquet operations. Every steak cut and braised rib order carries an uncompromised standard of butchery and seasoning.
- Slow-Braised Beef Short Rib Plate Calculated by braised cut ounce weight, roasted garlic mash, and reduction gravy

- Crispy Beer-Battered Atlantic Cod Determined by fillet count, house tartar batch, and hand-cut tavern potato chips
- Thick-Cut Tavern Pork Chops Quoted by center-cut bone-in thickness and seasonal glazed apple reduction

Who cooks the food? The Brick House Tavern + Tap kitchen crew handles line prep from early morning knife work to late-evening dinner ticket rushes. As a focused American tavern brand specializing in hearty cooking and sports hospitality, our team refuses shortcuts like frozen pre-cooked meats or microwaved steam pouches. Our line cooks work directly with real gas flame, seasoned cast iron pans, and clean butcher blocks.
Proof of our standards appears in the textures on every plate: short ribs that pull apart under a fork and ribeyes with a deep sear without gray banding inside.

Ordering dinner at Brick House Tavern + Tap follows four kitchen steps that protect meat temperature and crust:
- Entree Selection and Cut Specification You select your cut and meat temperature with your server, pairing potato and vegetable sides alongside craft draft pours or house cocktails.
- Iron Searing and Pan Sauce Reduction Our line cooks sear steaks on iron flat-tops and flash-finish braised short ribs under high salamander broilers.
- Pass Plating and Reduction Garnish Dishes are finished with scratch pan gravies or herb compound butter, verified for ticket temperature, and cleared for the room.
- Dining Room Delivery and Table Service Your entree reaches your booth hot and steaming so your table can watch the game across our 30+ television displays.
Over thirty screens broadcast every game day snap and tipoff while our scratch line turns out dinner entrees.
Who is our mains menu not for? If you are looking for ultra-delicate fine-dining portions served with tweezers on giant white plates, Brick House Tavern is not that restaurant. We serve honest, generous American tavern food made for people who appreciate deep savory flavor, solid meat portions, and a relaxed room with live football or basketball playing overhead.
Similarly, if you need an instant meal served in ninety seconds through a plastic drive-through window, our kitchen will disappoint you. High-heat flat-top searing and slow braising demand a deliberate 10 to 25 minute turn time. That time allows us to serve genuine food without industrial stabilizers.
