Brickhouse BBQ, Burgers & Brews - A Flavorful Destination in Washington, IL

Brickhouse BBQ - Burgers - Brews: A Carnivore’s Paradise! From the moment I stepped inside, I knew I was in for a treat! The cozy, creatively decorated atmosphere—with its charming little shack and a collection of antiques—made me feel like I had wandered into a BBQ wonderland. And then… THE SMELL. The sweet, smoky aroma of hardwood smoke wrapped around me like a warm hug. If deliciousness had a scent, this would be it. The Food? Oh, baby… Let’s talk onion rings. These weren’t just onion rings; they were a tower of golden perfection! Sweet onions, freshly cut and hand-battered to crispy glory, paired with garlic aïoli that dreams are made of. I may or may not have considered licking the bowl… no judgment, please. Now, for the MAIN EVENT—the hand-breaded pork tenderloin. Let me tell you, I have never had one quite like this! The crunch? PERFECT. The seasoning? ON POINT. If there were a tenderloin Olympics, this one would be taking home the gold medal. Trust me, I’m in multiple Facebook tenderloin groups (yes, that’s a thing), and this one is legendary. Drinks & More Whether you’re into draft beers, domestics, or fancy cocktails, Brickhouse has you covered! Their drink selection is solid, and their menu is loaded with BBQ goodness, mouthwatering burgers, and perfectly smoked meats. If you love great food, great vibes, and a friendly staff that makes you feel at home, this is your spot. 10/10 recommend! #BBQHeaven #TenderloinPerfection #OnionRingRoyalty #BrickhouseBrilliance #FoodieApproved

The food was just ok. It wasn't anything fancy. It isn't bad. It is just a pretty meal.. We ordered a grilled cheese, cheeseburger with fries, turkey club, cheeseburger with sautéed onions and mushrooms with fries, and burnt ends. The burnt ends were a bit dry and all of the food was lacking flavor. The service was great. The food came in a timely manner. This is the place to go for sports! They had quite a few TV's on all over the inside. There is outdoor dining during warmer weather. The parking lot is not very big. There is no way a semi or RV could fit.. I had to wait for a car to leave before I could park and the restaurant wasn't even half full.

I really like this place. The cheese curds were probably the best I've ever had legit. Huge portion, perfect crispy to melty cheesy ratio. Highly recommend! The sweet potato fries are waffle cut and super delish also. Decent pulled pork and sauce options. I didn't care for the Cuban as it was a thick slice of fatty ham, so I just took that off. Also, the ciabatta roll was very soft and it didn't hold the weight of the meat well, I'd recommend toasting or grilling it, ciabatta is best crispy crunchy style. I wish I had gotten the pulled pork sandwich because it looked great across the table lol the coleslaw and pickles made it and he liked it alot. Service was excellent and the decor is just really cool. Very eclectic, antique but modern at the same time vibes. I'd go again if back in town for sure!

Brisket was fork tender and delicious Little Brickhouse Mason jar was tasty. I even ordered dessert My server, Mikkell, was great! Would definitely come back!

My husband and daughter went to dinner before their daddy-daughter dance tonight!! The food was amazing, the service was excellent as always, and there was no wait but was busy, and they got us in and out!! Great place, and did I say the food is soooo gooood!!(:

One of the best places to eat in Washington. The owners are the most kind and welcoming people you’d meet. Top notch staff. This place can get busy so you need to be patient sometimes but it’s worth it. Don’t let an extra few minute wait ruin your experience. Call ahead for a reservation if you’re in a hurry.

We were seated quickly and the staff was attentive and friendly. Our app came out and drinks were refreshed consistently; the main courses were taking a little time but nothing we noticed being too long. A manager or owner came over and apologied, explained the issue that happened in the kitchen thet got our order backlogged. We were offered money off our order or a skillet cookie. When the food came it was hot and delicious. And we took the cookie to-go! Definitely recommend this very kindly run establishment.

By far one of the best places in the area Absolutely amazing food perfect quantity and perfect taste. But above all the service, especially from our bartender, Gabby Absolute rockstar drinks were perfect and conversations were always full of laugh and good fun. that's not all the locals in the town of Washington make it feel like home. I give this place 10-10. Guest appearance will be on my list for brickhouse one of the best places in the state if you guys read this, love you all and well will visit when We can (without Ben)
