Brickyard Cafe

exceptional food and service. Lasagna excellent. Nice, friendly atmosphere. Will be back!

This was a really fun place to visit! It is a bit unassuming from the outside but our experience was great! Bread with olive oil and balsamic was delicious. I had a cup of the soup of the day which was good. The blackened chicken was moist and well-seasoned. Rattlesnake pasta had amazing flavor although I personally did not find it spicy at all. I would say their pasta is the best we have had in the Bowling Green area. We would pass on the calamari appetizer in the future as it was slightly overcooked. Our waitress was sweet and attentive. There is a bar in the restaurant as well and it seemed like people were enjoying it on the Friday night that we went!

Service was slow but servers was very kind. I have been here several times. Stay away from the Hawaii Shrimp you would think it would pull right out the water and placed on the Plate. My husband's steak was the best's. Thanks for the bite of steak. It helped me fill like I had dinner tonight.

Everything was so good! I had the champagne chicken and husband had lasagne which he enjoyed. Chicken was excellent!! Lunch portions wee a generous size. Homemade bread a very nice touch. Atmosphere and service were great too. Worth the small detour!!

I got there at an early bird hour. They had a sign up in the lobby indicating to wait to be seated. After waiting a few minutes with no staff coming to greet me, I stepped into the bar and eventually flagged down the bar tender who was happy to get me seated in the regular dining area (which was empty when I arrived) and notified a server that I had been seated. The server was pleasant, knowledgeable of both the menu and the beers served from the bar, and promptly attentive.The server brought bread and oil with balsamic vinegar and some basic seasoning, a drink menu and a dinner menu. I ordered an IPA brewed from some place up the road but still in Kentucky (I'm not remembering the name that the waitress told me) the house salad with bleu cheese dressing and the blackened shrimp Mac n Cheese entree. The beer and salad came within 10 minutes. The IPA was a regular sized pint glass serving. The salad was of fair quality and basic ingredients prepared fairly nicely with basic dressing served on the side allowing me to put on as much or as little as I wished.I was almost finished with the salad about 10 minutes later when the entree arrived. The food arrived hot and fresh from the kitchen and was a larger portion of a ziti style pasta with an apparently locally crafted cheese sauce with 6 medium-large sized blackened shrimp (probably 1 oz. each). The shrimp was well-seasoned and a nice attempt at blackening. The seasoning is a little bit different than what it is typically served in Louisiana but very nicely done. The shrimp was plump, but slightly overcooked for my taste. Overall I was pleased with the experience and cost of the meal for the quality of food and service received. Though this is one experience, I am comfortable recommending this restaurant as would return to it if I was going to be a regular visitor to the area.

Loved the champagne chicken soup! Quaint restaurant with a home cooked meal, feel. Friendly staff. Definitely coming back.

So, took a little day trip with my better half to celebrate her birthday and we picked this establishment on a whim. We're both pasta eaters and this cafe is doing it right! We both ordered the Rattlesnake Pasta and all I can say is wow! The portion was not what we expected, the expectations were exceeded! As a retired head chef the first thing I look for when trying a dish is to see if it needs added salt or pepper, it did not! The flavor was amazing and needed nothing added, my compliments to the kitchen staff, also I would be remiss if I didn't mention our server Christine. Super friendly and that says a lot to me. All in all it was a very successful birthday dinner for my better half and I.

Five Star's are rare for me to post -- but this place seemed to hit on all cylinders! The food quality & presentation was great. Flavors we're amazing. Server was spot on -- patient with us as first time guests and attentive and extra knowledgeable. Located in a historic and well preserved building downtown at the corner of the public square. Adequate parking. Some outside patio cafe tables are available. Two main sections of the restaurant -- one including the bar area. I tried the shrimp pasta dish which was excellent. My mom tried the lasagna which we all three tasted and agreed it was awesome. My wife ordered the signature chicken with a cream Sault that was very tasty. We stopped here for a late lunch while traveling northbound and decided to bypass the exit ramp restaurants -- so glad we did!

The ribeye was done perfectly and the catfish savory and hot. The dinners came with sides of crispy, seasoned red skin potatoes and sugar snap peas. Prices very reasonable. Waitress Christine provided excellent service, and the manager and other staff supported each other (it was very busy!) when they saw potential needs (more bread, drinks, etc.). A very comfortable place where we noticed many "locals" greeting each other. 5 stars for a place we just happened to pick on our trip from northwest Ohio.

Took my Mom out for lunch. She had been before and liked it and wanted to return. Food and service were really great. Nice local spot.
