As someone who has grown up with relatives in Ste Gen, going there for all the holidays, etc, I must say that the old brick is the best. The REASON you go to the old brick is to eat the buffet, amazing fried chicken and some other great stuff. I enjoy it because you don’t have someone pestering you the whole time. We go in, order drinks, and start eating. I’ve always had someone just come by and fill up drinks as needbe. The only thing is be careful, on Fridays the buffet has fish instead of chicken (is this only during Lent, I can’t remember?). You wanna go for the chicken!

I work at the Old Brick House! We are very understaffed! The manager just doesn’t want to fork out the money to put more waitresses on the floor! I work on Sat. mornings, and I am usually the only waitress, but we have a buffet then, and we also have a larger soup and sandwich menu. On Sundays our special is Buffet, so we push that instead of the menu!

Hmmm… you know, I don’t even think we looked at a menu when we went. The husband had said specifically he’d like to go for Sunday buffet, so I think we just ordered some drinks and said we’d take the buffet.

Okay, so we went on Sunday to the Old Brick House, and I hate to say we were disappointed.

Now, to be fair, the food we ate was pretty good. It was the mostly the lack of service, and lack of menu choices we didn’t find appealing.

I was the only one comfortable enough with the buffett to choose that. My wife, son, and his friend chose off the menu. The limited choices, and the overpricing were hard to get around. Now maybe the menu varies, but the menus they gave us had only about 7 entries to choose from. The cheapest was around $8.

The service we received, though courteous, was all but nonexistent. A waitress visited our table twice during our meal. One of those times was to bring the ticket.

On the upside, this is one of the few restaurants were all dishes were served hot, well prepared, and tasty. They also provided us our own water pitcher, something we frequently ask for. The restuarant was clean, and the wait staff were neat, and well groomed. Lighting was more than adequate.

Overall, we’d have to give it a second try at perhaps a different time of day.

Sounds like it’s worth a stopover. My wife and I might be down that way soon to visit Pickle Springs trail. It would be nice to have some place decent to go eat after that hefty 2 mile walk.
Thanks for the review.
