    Early dinner rez for 330pm on black Friday. Friendly staff, great holiday decorations and some new libations offered from the bar, VERY FESTIVE!. Food was impressive. Appetizers came quickly: Calamari, chips/ quac, and steak bombs...ALL EXCELLENT! Dinners were large portions , and all 5 of us shared our choices. Fish & chips, The Reuben, Farmers burger great meals, casual atmosphere with a great seasonal spread, very personable waitress. She recently was married, and we felt like she was the girl next door. Great time, going back soon for other menu choices and to hit a bucket of balls.

    We enjoyed the Thanksgiving buffet here this year. It was our first time at Brickmans, so we took a chance but we are glad we did. Everything was delicious and more gourmet than we expected from a buffet. The menu had something for everyone. Maybe more pie selections would be nice. Lively ambiance inside and outdoor. The servers were friendly and courteous although the service was a bit slow I guess due to the busy Turkey day. We used Orfila Winery membership for a glass of wine, that was a plus. Overall it was a well-run buffet event, and we loved the experience. We will definitely be back.

    The team at The Brickman pulled off an outstanding Thanksgiving buffet. Everyone in my family from my 88 year old dad to my teenage niece all enjoyed it. This was our first time at the restaurant. I’m looking forward to trying their regular menu.

    Very entertaining and a special place to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas. The ambiance and service was exceptional and the view of the golf scenery, adds a unique touch. I would love to bring the whole family next year. The food buffet style was delicious.

    We had a wonderful experience at the Thanksgiving buffet today. We have been to many buffets and the food quality was excellent, fresh and hot. My only complaint is I wish they would change out the serving utensils more often. They were efficiently staffed which was nice as well. We will be back!! This experience outshined even Hotel Del for food and service.

    Came in for their thanksgiving day buffet (2024). It was really nicely done. They had a large buffet with lots on offer from turkey and cranberry sauce to tritip and fancy cheese and charcuterie board. They had shrimp cocktail and smoked salmon with lots of side offerings and salads. All the savory food was delicious and very well prepared. The desserts were the typical premade, frozen, bought-in stuff. Not great but not terrible either. I felt like I definitely got good value for the money we spent. And I’ll be back next thanksgiving if they offer their buffet again.

    My friend and I went to Brickman's for Thanksgiving today. It was the best restaurant Thanksgiving meal I've ever had! It was buffet style and there were so many options. Everything you could want. Quality and taste were perfection. Price was very reasonable, too. Ambiance was very festive for the holidays with lots of attention to the details. Staff was friendly and very helpful. We had reservations and we were seated right away even though it was packed. There was a cute bar area too with a nice view of the golf course and an outdoor dining area option. It's a hidden gem in my neighborhood in Lake San Marcos. I'll definitely be back!
