We read about this place online and decided to give it a try. Were not disappointed. Good portions, friendly staff, price just right. No problem with parking, either on street or the lot across from the diner.
The Brickhouse Run
We dined at The Brickhouse Run during a stay in Petersburg. The food was delicious, the service was extremely attentive and the beverages had a nice selective given they have a full bar and very reasonably priced with all appropriate social distancing requirements in place.
