My wife and I had heard about the Brickhouse and decided to take a road trip from Maine to check the place out. We found the prices very reasonable and the food was good too. Just the right size portion for your money. Want a larger serving, at these prices, just order two. The staff was super friendly and the we enjoyed our lunch in the shade. Outside portapotty was clean and for an 85 degree day, did not smell even though the staff said it was getting serviced the next day. We grabbed a frappe for the way home too. Looking for a wallet-friendly and tasty meal? Check this place out!
Edit. I changed my review because at least the people managing the site are polite. Still dont know how the food is, so good luck.Be careful you dont choose this place without noticing the scrolling banner in their website announcing they are closed for the season. No idea how the food is, but it was super inconvenient that you have to search to find if they are open. Google only reports their hours.
Edit: I have gone here for years and the last time was the best tasting food. The shrimp wasnt over cooked, the scallops were cooked perfectly, the clams a little chewy. Their ice cream is good too.My great aunt enjoys her lobster roll.
Plenty of places to sit down and areas with shade to get out of the sun and rain. Nice garden outback.Good service and ice-cream. I had the cherry blossom, my son had chocolate and his mom had strawberry lemonade sherbet. All were good. I noticed they serve fried calamari, ugh. If you like cooked octopus, this place you should try. If you like good ice-cream, give this place a try.Came back next week and had a mint chocolate chip and my son had a vanilla. Ive tasted similar mint chip at another Ice-cream stand. I cant remember where. I still liked it. My son liked his vanilla.Debit/credit card and Ipay/Android pay accepted.
This place is absolutely amazing!! One of the best places Ive eaten in quite some time. Super friendly people, super fresh food, and all around chill environment. The food was so good I came back 2 hours after lunch to order more food! If you skip this place youll surely regret it. Buffalo chicken sandwich and the lobster roll are very inexpensive and absolutely delicious!
Mostly I go for the delicious scallop rolls and the haddock sandwiches. Also great onion rings. Dining is outside only. Homey atmosphere under the trees. They are closed in fall and winter.
This is one of those awesome roadside quick stop places youll drive past a thousand times and hate yourself for it once youve tried the food. Everything is cooked fresh and tastes great. Theyve got an efficient system for getting food and great ice cream out as quick as possible. A Michelin star restaurant it is not, but for quick, nostalgic, tasty eats or delicious ice cream its the best in the area by a mile.
Everything we have orders so far is great! Lost of outdoor seating. My dog loves the :Doggy sundea has bacon bits and whipped cream on top!!!
Was visiting my daughter who lives in the area, this was the first place she brought me to, I had one of their steak bombs. Indescribably delicious, thicker cut of meat than a cheese steak. So good, satisfying, flavorful. Old fashioned good road food, a favorite of locals. Nice outdoor eating area, ice cream, good summer food. It harkens back to another time.
Cant beat it for what it is! Out of the way but still an easy detour off the highway. Tons of outdoor seating and they have a nice disinfecting process to keep things up to Covid standards. I got a lobster roll for $10.50. A little more mayo than my preference, but great lobster! My husband got a steak and cheese that was fabulous and we got fried mozzarella triangles... Also awesome. Impressive menu selection at great prices and ice cream! Well remember this stop off for our future Mass to NH weekend trips!
Its all outside seating or take out. We are big fans of both soft serve and regular ice cream. There food is good too for the price.
Just had ice cream which we all found delicious. Ice cream was pricey but where isnt it. Friendly service and good portions.
Food took a while and when we finally got it. It was cold. The cole slaw was actually the best Ive had lately. Some places just dont make it right.
Great food at a little drive up restaurant. I wouldnt call it a drive-in though, there are no car hops or food delivered to he car. Great little place for food or ice cream though.
Love love love the lobster rolls. Got 4 to go with some friends. They never disappoint. Staff is friendly and lovely.
Been going there for years. Very clean. I know it changed hands recently but same good food and still nice people with a bit more pizzazz. Go to place in the area.
It was wonderful. The employee was very kind and helpful. The only thing I wish would change is to have more Ice cream flavors but it is overall great.
Great spot, old school and long term place, good food and ice cream/shakes. You can get a $2.50 grilled cheese or a $10 lobster or clam roll, great stuff!
Not very busy, placed an order over $75, they forgot to put the haddock boat in the order, they did manage to give us tartar sauce! I called, we had to travel back to them to pick up the order, could not credit my missing dinner over the phone. Not happy!Edit: when my son returned with the missing meal, there was clipped to the outside of the bag, 3 ice cream vouchers. The gift card would not have been of use to me since I live in Florida. Thank you very much for the gesture.
Very reasonable price for the food you get, and good customer service.
Great food, nice seating area outside, convenient location in hooksett, very friendly staff with great service!
The fries were delicious and so were the burgers...But I wish the burgers werent thrown together, I had to restack the burgers...
Burgers and fries are great! Great soft serve too
Always good food and ice cream. Employees do there best to move the line along even when vans of kid baseball teams arrive.
Great food and ice cream in a family friendly outdoor environment.
First time there, took a drive from the Seacoast area to check it out. It was ok, but my hamburger was undercooked. Not that great.
It was as good as ever..I used to work near by,and ate there alot .now that Im retired, I treat myself a couple times in the summer.
Prices have gone up but they have everywhere. They have pretty good quality food. Always pleasant staff.
Great food, cooked fresh. A bit of a wait but Ill go again! Haddock sandwich is really good
Classic ice cream shack with burgers and shakes, ice cream and soft serve, even sundaes for puppies with soft-serve, bacon and Milk Bone. Ice cream comes out fast, the food comes out on the slow side. Too easy to eat dessert first here
Sweet potato fries, lobster roll, pistachio frappe... very good and price very reasonable
Food was amazing. The chicken tenders were the best Ive ever had.
Chicken tenders were the best Ive ever had. Cant wait to come back and try more!
Always a wonderful experience.. friendly service x always get food hot ..
Love this place, been going here for 30 years and they never disappoint.
Good food and good customer service and amazing ice cream
Excellent food, friendly staff, quick service.
Awsome experience with amazing food and ice cream
Great place to get quality food at reasonable prices. Wide selection too.
Wonderful food! Friendly staff! We were heading home and so glad we stopped in for lunch. The hotdogs were delicious!! Onion rings YUMMY! I was full and still kept eating the onion rings they were so good!! Loved the outdoor eating areas very relaxing and clean!!!
I got a steak and cheese and it was delicious. I was also a super short wait, definitely recommend.
They have the BEST cookie dough shake Ive ever had!
I was here about 1.5 hours ago after a long day of swimming with my family so we stopped for dinner. My daughter ended up passing out while standing in line to order. I just want to thank the owners with all my heart and the nurse who happened to be there in line as well. The owners both came out to check on the situation and bring my 12 year old a drink and make sure we had everything we needed for the situation at hand. Kelly is so professional and caring and I am always satisfied with their food and service. Thank you, thank you 😊
Really good food, love the ability to do pick up! Great spot to eat as well. Great selection of ice creams, enjoy that there are specials offered daily, and the hot dogs and cheeseburgers are family hits. Well priced
Excellent always good food here
Well ordered a scallop an clam plate. It came with 2 little plastic containers of coleslaw. If I wanted fries that should come with it. I had to pay 2 dollars more.an tarta sauce comes in small plastic container not enough for your meal. Well you want more its extra money. My seafood was cooked excellent.just they charge you for things that should come with your meal
Yes yes yes, so good. This place is delicious, everything I have had on the menu had been outstanding! I highly recommend it to everyone. Thank me later.
Not taking phone orders?!!? So, during covid, I have to come wait in line with 20 people just to order. Then I have to wait around with these same strangers until my food is ready!? Nope, Ill go literally anywhere else and spend double...heres hoping you go out of business!
I’m not getting why it’s 5 stars, the food is horrific. Yuck. Don’t get sickNew owners are worst then the other mean lady who use to own it. People don’t know good food honey get a new way for the people we want better. Next time I get a steak and cheese sub I like some meat in the middle thanks
Great black rasberry milkshake.
Very good seafood for someplace that isnt close to the coast. They also have good deals on random specials like a burger plate for super cheap. I got a scallop roll today and it was great, fair pricing too. Its not a huge portion but for lunch it was perfect.
Stopped here while out on the bike because it smelled sooo good as we drove by. Service was friendly and quick. Food was outstanding and prices were good. So happy we stopped. We will be back. Thanks for adding great food to a great day.
Pleasant staff, nice area for a picnic meal
Local business has a solid reputation and competitive price. The grill items are hot, they properly drain fried items and homemade chicken nuggets.Ice cream sizes are large and milkshakes are freshly made.
We ordered the fried clam and scallop plate for takeout. Got them home and the clams were so over fried they were horrible. Called and the manager said Bring them back and we will give you a refund REALLY, half eaten bad, over fried clams? AND we want to make the trip back again to get a refund? Not good. I did tell her to make certain she tells the cook to calm it down on cooking the clams. Guess I wont be going back. Too bad, we are trying to give local businesses our business.
First time going there and it was expensive for cold and soggy fries and a cold clam boat and the staff were just training people while cooking our food so it took 40 minutes to get the food. I dont recommend going there.
Glad they are open againSummer wouldnt be the same without it
You might want to order two burgers very small burgers
Good takeoutvplae. The fried clam plate was very good. There was outside dining! They had a good system for disinfecting. Will return.
Delicious Clams and sweet potato fries
Excellent maple walnut ice cream
Good food at a reasonable price
Very well kept and convenient spot. They provide generous meals and for reasonable prices. I enjoyed the menu very much and the staff were very amiable and chatty. Will definitely recommend this place.
I love to stop by this place every so often, they have excellent service (even during Covid-19) and great ice cream.
I know they just opened, they are usually than today. Will return.
Awesome ice cream
Heaping portions! Enjoy!
Many locals call this simply the Brick. It is THE BEST place for fast and affordable summer fare, as well as awesomely huge ice cream cones. We love the clam strips, the French fries, pretty much everything. Parking can be tricky at times as its on a busy road, and people are pulling in and/or out of tight spaces, so be sure to be careful and pay attention. With many places to sit outside, including shaded tables and even a little house with a few tables inside, the Brick is a favorite summer stop in Hooksett.
Always a great experience, whether ice cream or food. Pleasant servers. Nice summer spot
Good place.
Absolutely love the brick house! Lunch! Dinner! Dessert! Great place to go with the kiddos and dog friendly as well! Their hot dogs are the best! It can be busy at times because theyre just that great!
Nice setting, service is just ok, and the giffords ice cream is top notch. But the food here is very low quality. I dont understand the reviews on here. TINY portions for a burger and fries. This was the smallest hamburger I have seen in a long time, think kids happy meal sized, but for double the price. Think the cheapest food a restaurant can buy from Sysco, that is what you will be eating.
Food was really good.
Food is awesome! Fabulous frappes!!
Good food, friendly portions are smaller do to market prices but we will go back
Great food and really good prices. Been many many times always great
I love the old style drive up feel and atmosphere. Its great food at fair prices. They have a young staff of people with summer jobs and its a great time with plenty of outdoor seating . Love it!!!
Excellent! Friendly service!!
Good job with the ordering and distancing. Loved the fried seafood plate
Delicious ice cream!
Food was very good. Burgers and onion rings were exactly as expected. People working there were very nice. Service was a little slow, hopefully it will be better if we go back.
This is the perfect quintessential clam shack. The food is basic, nicely done and delicious. And its dog friendly as well! Our group had quite a variety: cheeseburgers to fish sandwiches to various steak bombs and pepper steak sandwiches, fries and poppers. And the frappes are great!
Always great food and service
Great ice cream and food. Try the seafood its also great.
Absolutely delicious seafood. Somewhat small portions but delicious!
Brick House is great and I scream Everytime they open up for the season. Great ice cream, probably the best BLT Ive ever had. Its sad when they close for the season because it means that summer is over. Brick House is the Hooksett spirit of summer. The outdoor seating area they have here is nice and you can bring your friendly dog. Leave the mean ones at home please. The things that drive me crazy is when people let their children play with their keys and keep hitting the horn. Also when bikes or cars go by and rev the engine. Oh and park in 1 spot please - thought that was everywhere but drives me nuts.
My wife and both had the Seascallop plates and they were the best we have had in the last 10 years.
I didnt hate it I have always loved going there since I was a child.
Love this place! I dont live near here. So when I am in the area. I always stop to eat there. Or get some ice cream. I highly recommend this drive in. They are open mid March and close Labor day...
Good food and relatively inexpensive for what you get. I will note that the cheese sauce for the fries is super salty so I recommend getting it on the side. Great place to go when its nice out and sit outside, or eat in your car.
Such a cute little brick building with friendly staff. Lots of parking and a ton of places to sit; either in the sun or the shade. Nice and clean, and dog friendly. Amazing food and absolutely delicious ice cream. I recommend this to anyone who wants some comfort food.
We would give 6 stars if we could. Staff was very friendly and everything was very clean. We had the oyster dinner and it was well worth the stop. The best oysters my husband and I have ever had. The portions were perfect. We even said next time we will share one meal and get extra fries or fried mushrooms. We had no room for ice cream LoL 😉. The prices were more than reasonable because the food was delicious. The oysters were cooked perfectly and didnt taste greasy. We definitely recommend checking it out👍👏
We made a trip here to this establishment because we had not tried Brick House drive-in yet. Even though it was a bit out of the way, they had a large menu and I was looking forward to trying it out. Of course, my go to thing is Lobster. I always ask how lobster rolls are prepared when Im at a new place because anyone who knows Lobster rolls well enough, knows there are -many- styles to having lobster on a roll. Anyway, the lady was very nice and said it was just mayo, celery, lobster and a bun. She also added if I didnt like it that way, they could do it with plain or with just butter. I insisted the way it comes will be perfect! I was quite excited about it actually because thats exactly how I love them best. Anyway, yes, there were others also waiting to order and pick up their food, so I was perfectly content with waiting for our food. When my order was called, I approached the window and I almost thought this was someone elses order. Mostly everything was wrapped but the lobster roll. The roll was very small, literally a hot dog bun that was not even opened up. On the bun, was lettuce and a small amount of lobster on top. On top of that appeared to be seafood seasoning. I mentioned to the lady handing out my order that this was not what was described to me. Still, everyone was pleasant at this point. The lady looked at my slip and called someone else over. So she asked me how I would like it, and I explained just how it usually comes with celery, mayo, lobster and bread. The lady said okay no problem and walked off with it. I could see some confusion among the staff on the line preparing food. There seemed to be a debate on how they made their own lobster rolls right in front of me. Then, someone else came up to me and asked me how I wanted it. Then the lady who took my order originally asked me how I invision it to look. A comment a bit unnecessary I think. This was so embarrassing at this point because theres a huge line of people behind me and I would have just taken what they had given me at that point but they already took it back to fix it. So I had just politely asked for a refund on it that it was no worries. The lady said no no its fine let us fix it for you. Once again, I politely declined because this was just such a huge thing already for no reason. I said no thank you just a refund is fine. It was at this point that the staff became very rude and loud about me wanting a refund. It was embarrassing. They continued to bicker back and forth about how nothing was wrong with it while I waited for a refund.On a serious note, I have to wonder if the staff doesnt know the difference between lettuce and celery. If they told me it came with lettuce in the beginning, I definitely would have ordered something else. Im definitely guilty of not looking at all the google photos before ordering but I guess I prefer to take the word of someone who works there as to what comes on their lobster roll.Anyhow, the rest of the food was edible. The buffalo chicken sub was cut right through the wrapper and there was pieces of it in the sub. Their cheeseburger is mostly bread and cheese. Mac and cheese bites, were just edible. We did NOT go back in line after for dessert. The mood was obviously not great. They have an outdoor seating area which is falling apart in some areas. Didnt love it and will not be interested in a second visit. I waited a few days before writing this review so I have had plenty of time to think about how I wanted to word this because my intent is to never hurt a small business ever. However, clearly, something here is not right when staff argue like that in front of customers and make them feel bad. Ive been in the business my entire life and if I treated all my customers the way I was treated that day, I would not be in business very long. However, its my understanding they have been in business for 34+ years and my review isnt gonna crush them. But good luck with the next 34+ years I guess.
Quintessential New England road side clam and icecream. Not special but if youre in the mood this place does it right. I feel like their fried stuff tastes better at the beginning of the season. Ice cream ALWAYS good.
I do not recommend their fried chicken or fried seafood. This was very greasy, very small portion, tasteless and they need to change their oil more.
Top Notch
Great food and great service - workers seems to always be in good moods when working.
Great location and parking. Have only been twice so far, but they have amazing chicken tenders and onion rings. Definitely planning to go back multiple times this summer!
I have been going there for as long as I can remember! Great food, and great people to do business with. I always look forward to spring when they reopen!
