Reviews for Red Brick Tap and Barrel in Alpena, MI
This was hands down the best sandwich I've had in years!!! It was a Fried Green Tomato BLT. OMG!! My wife had a burger which she... said was good. But, did I mention the FGT BLT?? The beet appetizer with cheese, honey and pistachios...for getta 'bout it! Makesure you order it! These guys really have it going on... it's really a great place!! (Side note: Friday is live music nightduring the summer in Alpena and they serve to go drinks! Walktails...yeah!!) Read more
On a recent fishing trip to Alpena, my husband caught tons of lake trout and some steelhead. On the recommendation of his... fishing guide, we asked Chef Kevin if he could cook some of our fish for us. He produced the most delicious array of grilled,fried, and blackened fish, along with a creamy polenta (was not a big fan of polenta until this day), and a beautiful bounty ofveggies. Along with the Show Me Your Tots appetizer, this was one of the most fun and tasty experiences I've ever had. ChefKevin prepared these foods in a way that absolutely highlighted the natural deliciousness of the food, without overpowering itwith excessive anything (not too salty, not too greasy, not too overcooked, etc.). And the tots! Not only were they crispy andcrunchy (a tot must-have), they were clearly handmade and hearty--I thought they were chunks of chicken. Red Brick provided anelevated culinary experience that I was not expecting, but was delightfully surprised by. This little lakeside town is a bit outof the way, but worth the drive for good food, good drinks, and beautiful views. Thanks, Chef Kevin! Read more
The best food I?ve eaten in a long time!! Ordered the Shoe Me Your Tots, PB&J Fashioned, Meat Platter, and Get In My Belly! All... so very good. I hat the Get in My Belly - pork belly tacos with bbq and corn salsa. Such a perfect flavor combination. Servicewas friendly, personable and excellent. I can?t say enough good things. Read more
Food and service were great. Live music on Saturday was also a nice touch. Had the garlic soy glazed salmon with ?udon? noodles.... Although the noodles were not true udon, the dish was quite tasty. Read more

Great ambiance. Nice bar area. Good food. I ordered a carryout; Show Me Your Tots and a BBB Burger. Show Me Your Tots was... delicious. Covered in corn, chicken and goodness it was enough for a few meals in itself. The burger was good too. Had that withthe truffle fries. All yummy. Friendly staff too and ample parking. Too bad they were out of the cookie dough dip. I reallywanted to try that. Oh they do open at 4pm so you'll want to plan to go later in the day. And closed Sunday and Monday. Read more
