The relocation of Briquettes to the old Hulbert's Building was a great move. We loved the bar with booths area and the seats in front of the window are special. The expanded food menu is what brought us in as I am not a huge meat eater. My choice of the fish sandwich melt was a good one. It came... More

I have to say I love the new location, and the food is still awesome, however, in labeling the restaurant a 'craft beer bar' and not having an actual physical beer menu that you can hand your customers is very inconvenient for everyone. It would not be that difficult to come up with for people so they do not have... More

Stopped weekend to 4/6/13 to find that they are relocating across the street and They are not open yet. (old location was not open either) Check before you go to make sure they are open (sign says later in April). It is a complete newly rehabbed interior. It is definitely a step up from the older restaurant. (don't want to... More

This was a fun spot for lunch. Son got bowl of chili and it came with cornbread that was very moist and good. I got seven layer chili which was perfect and delicious. Best choice. Husband got beef brisket sandwich and side of mac n cheese. Very good. Lots of choices of sauces and beers. Friendly staff but our sever... More

Tried this place based on the tripadvisor reviews, but was disappointed in both the food and level of service. Asked to speak to the manager, but he/she never came by our table. Maybe we hit a bad night? In any event, we probably won't be back.

Hi Jamma, I am saddened to read about your substandard experience. Your visit was not typical of our standards, and I would love to earn back you business. I have never received feedback from a patron that a manager refused to visit a table upon request. We attempt to get out to visit every table, even without request. Please contact... More

We stumbled across this restaurant about two years ago and had an awesome experience! We have been back each time we have been to Geneva since, about four times! The food gets better and better! We have dined at many BBQ places and this is one of our all time favorites! Every time we bring someone new they love it... More

We "stalked" the table next to us to see what they were eating & planned accordingly. Ribs were mouth-watering to see, smell & endulge in. Sides offered are varied & good-sized portions. Walk down to the bridge after you endulge.

Established a few years ago in an old Meat House/Bank, this joint has some pretty tasty eats. Their pulled pork is delish and the chicken is really good and smoky! Try the smoked iced tea. It's a flavor you've not likely experienced anywhere else. There is a really impressive menu of micro-brews and they carry Lake Erie Beer, which is... More

We were driving through and found this restaurant on TA, so we decided to stop. I'm so glad we did. There were so many things on the menu that we wanted to try. We ate some of almost everything by the time we ordered sides with each of our meals. Our waiter was Jason, and he was very helpful and... More
