Exceptionally friendly & attentive service. My daughter & I had gluten free pancakes that were great. I had an omelette and it was one of the fluffiest and best omelettes I’ve ever had. We will be back here next time we visit the Chicago area.

The food was absolutely amazing!! I have Celiac Disease which requires me to follow a strict gluten-free diet, the menu clearly labeled what was gluten-free and what could be altered to become gluten-free. There was a ton of options even then! And I never got sick to any degree so everything stayed safe for me to eat. The waitress we had was extremely knowledgeable and walked us through everything thoroughly. The atmosphere was comfortable but classy, the food options were plenty, and most importantly, the food was delicious! A little pricey, but the portions and quality of food made it worth the cost. Highly recommend!! And will definitely be going back!

I’ve eaten here a few times - pretty good mimosas and they do have some gluten free options. Unfortunately I was given the regular pancakes from the kitchen and thankfully my waitress noticed and immediately switched them out for me! Overall a nice breakfast spot, good coffee, comfy ambiance.

I have to take a digestive enzyme to feel ok eating here, but it is some of my favorite breakfast. They have Gluten Free Crepes that are soooo good (I get strawberry). If you can have their donuts (not GF) they are a very special treat too - fresh and warm to the table.

Came in with hubby as we were referred by a friend for dinner and the hospitality was amazing, food was great and the restaurant was very elegant considering its a strip mall location. Beautiful , clean , and amazing fresh homemade dishes . The owner/chef greeted its customers like family . Had the scallops, lobster bisque, gluten free bread/ pesto, garlic fresh herbs and keylime pie . Everything was delicious and beyond to happy with the service attention. Definitely would recommend this place to try out !! 5 stars here! Will be back …

Had the tavern burger with gluten free bun. Massive burger with lots of fries. The egg on top was a little underdone, but still very good. The bacon on it was very flavorful too. The Smackntosh cider they carry was tart and delicious. I think it's worth the price, will have to check out some other items next time.

Great customer service and great food. Staff is very friendly and accommodating for dietary restrictions (in this case gluten free). I'd have tipped even more if I saw the option on the checkout screen. For GF customers: They have GF dressings for salad, GF granola, and GF bagels that can be toasted in the oven (instead of the shared toaster), and GF oat milk. The only thing I wish they carried was heavy cream.

First time at the Brick House Tavern. We were seated in these comfy couches near the fireplace and greeted immediately by our server Colin. He was friendly, helpful with gluten free options, and made us feel right at home. Atmosphere was relaxed, food terrific, and we will definitely be back. Thanks, Colin. Made us feel like family!!!

This panera is always clean, service is quick, and the staff are always pleasant and accommodating. The monthly coffee subscription is a good value and allows you to choose between hot and iced coffee and a variety of hot teas. The soups are always hot and tasty and their salads are consistently good even during the current situation. The menu has enough variety that people with different dietary needs like low carb and gluten free can find tasty options. We use the quick-pickup and curbside options often and are never disappointed.
