Never been here before but went based on Google reviews. They were correct and I'm glad I stopped for supper! Had a tap beer and pizza (Pepperoni, sausage, black olive). Service was fast, friendly, and pizza very good.
Deliciously spicy chow, attentive wait staff, very tasty coffee (fresh brewed for us). Was not busy when we were there. Not cheap, but worth every dollar.
We were seated fairly quickly and received our drinks shortly after being seated. We ordered a few whiskey sours and the Chicago river. They were so good! We tried their wood stone pizza, the Chicken Florentine and the Margherita. DELICIOUS!!!! The staff was AMAZING! I have nothing but great things to say about our experience. Highly recommend and we will be back.
Very very fun bar and restaurant. They have a lot of cocktail options and beers on tap. The food comes in big portions. Very very delicious burgers and sandwiches. Sides are good too. The service was just ok, friendly but left something to be desired. The patio is beautiful. There’s quite a bit of seating but it’s a popular spot and fills up. Again fun bar with their unique specials and trivia nights and other fun events. Good spot. Love the tiki bar.
This is a nice place to grab some good food. Got the fish and chips with moderate expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised that the batter had flavor and it was really good. Many places disappoint with their fish, but they did not. My daughters both enjoyed their meals as well. Even though it was pretty busy, the staff worked hard at getting us served in a decent amount of time. When I find myself in Vermillion again, I will have to stop back in.
Passing this small College town see Dakota Brick House and decided to stop and have dinner.Good atmosphere with great service. Caprese spin (chicken sandwich) definitely one of best I have so juicy and bun so fresh love it. Great experience.
We stopped in on a Friday night. Despite being busy, our server was quick and attentive. Food came quickly and all of it was amazing. We started out with the Big A*!# Pretzel, which is exactly what it claims to be. It was huge, hot, fluffy and comes with 3 amazing dips. My wife had the Brick House Burger, which she said was amazing. My son had the chicken tenders which were huge and delicious. Lastly, I had the Sirloin Steak dinner, which comes with a choice of two sauces. I chose the creamy brandy mushroom sauce, which was delicious. The steak was cooked to medium rare perfection. It also came with a choice of two of four sides. I chose the side salad, which was just right, and the crispy brussels sprouts, which were excellent! Nice atmosphere here, and we were impressed! We'll certainly be back when in the area!
Great pizza and beverages service was okay and could be improved. Many employees eating and drinking behind the bar while working. Rubbing hair and no hand washing after.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars Dakota Brick House is a must visit if you’re in Vermillion. I recently had their Meaty Pizza, and it was absolutely outstanding. From the first bite, you can tell they use quality ingredients and take pride in what they serve. The pizza was loaded with toppings, packed with flavor, and cooked perfectly. The crust had the ideal balance of crispness and chew, the sauce was rich and flavorful, and the generous combination of meats made every slice satisfying. If you’re a fan of hearty, meat loaded pizza, the Meaty Pizza is an easy recommendation. Beyond the food, the atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, making it a great place to relax with family, friends, or coworkers. The staff was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout the visit. Food arrived promptly, and everything was served exactly as ordered. What really stood out was the consistency of the overall experience. Great food, generous portions, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere all came together to create a memorable meal. It’s easy to see why Dakota Brick House has become such a popular destination in Vermillion. If you’re looking for fantastic pizza and a great dining experience, Dakota Brick House delivers. I’ll definitely be back for another Meaty Pizza the next time I’m in town. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My son and I are on a fishing trip so eatery choices are pretty random. Tonight. We hit gold! Our server, Alexus, was an absolute champ! As good as it gets. The food was great we both had the Santa Fe burger, and fries. Really tasty. We sat on the patio. Very comfortable and pleasant. We could smell the kitchen wafting by and that was a very pleasant aroma. I highly recommend Dakota brick house if get through this area.
