Yelp suggested this space to me; and, from the reviews and photos, my husband and I decided that we needed to give this place a shot! We were headed that direction the other day and made it a pint to add Brick Deli as a stop on our journey. I'm so glad we did! The food was excellent as hell and other reviewers has promised! I wish I had snapped a photo of our food but was so hungry that it didn't happen, this time. We will definitely be back again!!! P.S.A. to parents: don't pass this place by; they are kid friendly before 9:00pm!

Well, I've been to this location twice now and it seems I really do just feel "meh" about it. I wanted to try it again after the first mediocre experience since the reviews were so great, but I think I stand by my opinion.This deli is in downtown Decatur. Despite being downtown, I think parking is fairly plentiful and accessible, though ymmv. It's a fairly large restaurant with a pretty heavy bar/tavern feel. Menu items are mostly soups and sandwiches, with a few exceptions. The decorations are kind of cute, with some Decatur-themed things (like a poster-sized Monopoly space advertising the deli itself). I've found the clean level acceptable but not astonishing on my visits.Service is okay. Despite a fairly long delay between my visits, I think I had the same waitress twice. She was nicer the second time -- first time I felt sort of like I was burdening her. You seat yourself and it can take several minutes before someone comes by to check on you, even when not terribly busy. Once you're noticed, I felt both times a little rushed to place my order and pay, though that could be because I arrived around 1:45 and they close at 3. Still plenty of time to eat and scoot imo but I get it.Both times, I got the half sandwich and soup option because I like that portion size for lunch. I also got the chicken "la la" (enchilada) soup as my soup, and I will say this is the best thing I've tried there. A little spicy, a little creamy, lots of beans and corn. It's solid! The soup comes with a square of jalapeño cornbread, which on both visits was quite cold and very dry. Crumbling it on the soup helps if you're into that but I kind of like the soup on its own. For sandwiches, I've tried their take on a grilled cheese as well as the "Smokey Joe," which has smoked turkey, cheese, thousand island, lettuce, and bacon. No tomatoes for me. Both sandwiches were FINE, but not any better than what you could make at home quite comfortably. I get that sometimes you want something simple fairly quickly, but I was just a little disappointed. The turkey sandwich in particular had decent flavor but was constructed such that the sourdough bread was sopping wet and disintegrating by about bite two, which made it very hard to eat. The bacon was also very disappointing, thin and not very crispy. Again, nothing particularly bad here, but not a place I'd really go out of my way to return to. If I come back, I'll continue trying different sandwiches to find one that suits me.

First visit, came here for lunch and the place was packed. Had to grab an open seat at the bar. It is a full bar with several draft offerings and a couple TVs for your viewing enjoyment.Bartender was busy, but ultimately, service ended up being adequate. I ordered the Thompson turkey Reuben with a side of potato salad. Solid sandwich with good flavors, potato salad was excellent.The Brick offers several food options in a local tavern atmosphere. I would definitely come back.

Solid lunch spot if you're a fan of deli sandwiches. I haven't had a bad sandwich here yet. Come back at night if you're looking for more of a bar scene.

All they offer are split sandwiches and fry baskets. What a shame if they had a larger food offering one could actually take and utilize the outdoor patios and enjoy an evening out. Puny food puny service heavy prices. Too bad. Beware though competition is coming this place not be around long... zzz xxx. Bcc can. Be. He was

The food was awesome and service was top notch. Whitney really took care of us. Beer cheese soup is the best and so is the Ruben sandwich. Highly recommend Brick Deli.

The club sandwich at the Brick is piled high with meats, cheeses, and lettuce and tomato. The Wisconsin cheese soup Is scrumptious. The Mexican cornbread is great with the soup. They have a build your own sandwich menu. The setting is an open sitting area around a bar. You can order take out.

We stopped by for dinner, very friendly staff! I got the cucumber sandwich and my friend got the trio salad. My sandwich hit the spot. I haven't had a cucumber sandwich in a hot minute and enjoyed every bite! My only complaint was the TV in the background was a bit loud, but just only.
