After moving to Wi 2 years ago, I felt like I was in a food desert. The Brick House Merchantile was recommended to me by a friend. Truthfully, what a godsend! Great food, cool vibe, wonderful owner’s, superb chef and a great staff. We came from the Chicago area, where you can find any food you desire, along with amazing restaurants. BHM is in the category of great Chicago restaurants. Chef Jeremy is so inventive and Pastry Chef Joe is incredible. The best cheesecake I’ve ever eaten! I’ve never had anything I didn’t like. So do yourself a favor and check out BHM. You won’t be sorry! Thank you, Joe, Penny and Jeremy!

Brick House Merchantile & Artisan Kitchen is in a class of their own. I appreciate the food, location, and experience equally. The food is healthy, creative and deliciously consistent every time. The experience is fantastic, I can be in work out gear or dressed up and I feel absolutely at home. The location is really special with outdoor curbside dining in the warm season, and just enough indoor dining to make it not a loud and overly busy stop to meet with friends to chat and catch up. I love the size of the establishment and it adds nice European flare to the experience. More so now than ever food quality and service has been compromised and I feel that BHM is creating a new opportunity for dining out. Keeping it small allows for exceptional quality and service. If I am choosing to dine out, BHM is my first choice in Lake Country because I know exactly what I am going to get.... whatever Chef Jeremy is offering. I rarely even need to read the menu because I love the surprise and I trust what he is making. It takes the hectic menu reading decision making out of the equation which is what I have always dreamt about. I just walk in and say "I'll have whatever is on the menu!" The beautifully made plate arrives, I close my eyes, and bite after bite I keep saying 'THIS IS AMAZING!" No joke, for two years I Have never had the same thing twice and I keep having the same THIS IS AMAZING experience. Try it, you wont be disappointed .

This is the best food I have ever eaten. I am so in love with this food, I wish I could eat here every day. Since this spring I've been here for breakfast, a bistro night, ordered lunch to-go, and stockpiled from their fridge and counter goodies. Everything is an explosion of amazing flavors. You all do an amazing job. I wish I lived closer to visit more often but it's such a treat when the timing works and a beautiful country drive. Keep up the outstanding work and I look forward to many more visits!

Brick House Mercantile is by far one of our favorite restaurants. The local, seasonal, high quality ingredients they use create such unique dishes with incredible flavor. Their breakfast sandwich on a sourdough bagel is a favorite, as well as any and all of their soups and the savory breakfast burrito. We love going every Saturday to see what the weekly savory breakfast menu item is, and I love that there is always a vegetarian option. It’s hard to leave without grabbing one of their muffins (GF, too!) or their Tahitian vanilla brownies. Not only is the food incredible, but the service is even better. We are so thankful to have found Brick House and look forward to our to weekly trip there.

This is the best dining experience! The menu is always different, and the food is always clean, locally sourced as much as possible, and made in-house, which makes the experience excitingly delicious! The desserts are killer! There are also lots of goodies for purchase. Joe and Penny are delightful and attentive, totally focused on their customers having a lovely experience. Chef Jeremy is outstanding! He has an amazing talent for combining an incredible variety of textures and tastes in every dish he creates. I have introduced dozens of people to this establishment, and every single one has loved the food and the experience and will definitely return. I LOVE this place!

First time here. Came on the recommendation of a good friend who raves about this place. We stopped in after a bicycle trail. First, it's not a restaurant. It's an Artisan Kitchen. What's the difference? The place is small, the menu is small, and it's all very good! There are about 12 seats, in a small dining area, with lots of light from the windows. Outside, they have a few metal patio tables and chairs. We were warm from our ride, so ate in side. Since it was our first time there, we had many questions. The staff was very nice, answering our questions. It was all very casual. We ordered a Summer Grain Bowl and the Smokey Pepper & Tomato Bacon Bisque. Both were amazing. So good, that you want to slow things down, and savior each bite. We also got some of the Rustic Italian Pizza Deviled Eggs to go. Had those in the evening and they were incredible. So much going on in such a little package. We will definately be back :)

We enjoyed everything. Staff and owners were friendly and informative. Food was special and creative. We look forward to our next visit. We biked 12 miles to get there and then 12 miles back. That's what we refer to as "Destination Biking," when there's some great food at the halfway point. Brick House Is Worth. Every. Mile.

Such a gem. So glad you're in Dousman and 7 minutes from my house. The chocolate bars with cherries and pistachios are amazing. Do yourself a favor and try those pumpkin cookies! Oh and the muffins...good Lord. It's really all so good with a combination of uniques, fresh flavors. I love the atmosphere, too. It's a special place!
