Briquettes Steakhouse

I had lunch with coworkers at Briquettes on Schillinger.
I’ve had Briquettes before but I am not sure what I had.
Perusing the menu I knew I wanted steak but had to narrow it down.
The decision came down to the number of sides.
The chopped steak I believe came with 2 sides.
I decided to go with the macaroni and cheese casserole and the strawberry side salad. Before we ordered our food, the table decided on some appetizers.
The 3 choices we decided on were the fried green tomatoes with Cajun cream sauce, Artichoke Spinach dip, and Asian Almond Shrimp.
All 3 were pretty good but my absolute favorite was the Asian Almond Shrimp.
I think I could’ve eaten that for a main meal. My strawberry side salad arrived first.
I want to say it was probably the most beautiful salad I’d ever seen.
It had tangerines in addition to the strawberries.
It also had some glazed walnuts that I think had a hint of cinnamon on them.
There was also the vinaigrette that added the final touch to the salad. The chopped steak and macaroni and cheese casserole came out soon after I was finished with the salad.
The casserole was good.
I don’t remember much about it because I pretty much ate it as quickly as possible.
The chopped steak I took time with.
The flavor was plentiful.
I loved the gravy with the onions and mushrooms.
It really brought out the taste of the steak.
The steak was really juicy and cooked to my liking.
I really enjoyed this meal. As far as the service goes, the place was busy for lunch.
Although it was busy we didn’t experience any long wait times with the food.
I don’t remember the waitress name but she was very helpful.

We always enjoy Briquettes, and this time was no different! Great server! She was so funny and attentive! Our dinner was so good.
I forgot to take pictures before we started! Just know, everything was GREAT!! That white chocolate raspberry cheesecake was so good!! 😋

We work around the corner from this place, so it's our go to celebratory restaurant.
Today was probably the worst experience we've ever had. Service - Server wasn't all too interested in our table.
They were a little busy, but it took almost 20 minutes to get our food order.
Server could not understand my colleague had asked for the soup, and kept telling him that sides are at the bottom.
She meant to ask what kind of soup. Food - Ordered burger to be cooked medium, it was closer to rare.
The Au Jux for all my colleagues Steak Sandwiches was essentially water. Overall, we're now on the fence whether we will keep coming here or try somewhere new.
