⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brickwood Restaurant • Bar • Terrace
📍 Edgewater Community, Lancaster, SC
🗓 Dined December 26, 2025
Brickwood is what happens when elevated dining meets small-town charm inside a jaw-dropping, multimillion-dollar setting. From the moment you pull into the spacious private parking lot and walk up to the beautifully lit entrance, you know you’re in for something special. Inside, the space is warm, refined, and elegant—more like a luxury resort or high-end Chicago steakhouse than a neighborhood restaurant.
We were welcomed by Cindy, the Matré D / Front of House, who made us feel instantly at home and even let us choose our dining area. I selected the formal dining room—sophisticated yet relaxed, perfect for a proper dining experience.
To start:
I had the Creamy Chicken Soup of the Day ($6), which was smooth, comforting, and perfect for a winter evening—lighter in texture but full of flavor.
The Truffle Fries ($8) were crispy and indulgent, tossed with truffle oil, herbs, and shaved parmesan, served with a rich garlic aioli.
The Double-Fried Chicken Wings (Sweet Heat + Buffalo) were outstanding—crispy, juicy, smoky, and packed with flavor. Sous Chef Trevor even sent out a fresh side of buffalo as requested sauce that delivered just the right kick.
Entrées:
The Hawaiian Ribeye (14 oz – $45) is marinated for five days and it shows—tender, juicy, and deeply flavorful. Mine came slightly more medium than medium-rare, but it was still excellent, served with buttery mashed potatoes.
The Maryland-Style Crab Cakes ($28) were loaded with lump crab, lightly crisped on the outside and moist inside, with classic Maryland seasoning. I even received three instead of two—a lovely surprise.
Dessert & drinks:
The chef treated us to a Coconut Crème Brûlée that was absolutely decadent—silky, coconut-infused custard under a perfectly caramelized sugar top.
The bartender also sent a strawberry-rosemary mocktail that was bright, refreshing, and beautifully balanced.
We also grabbed two pizzas to go ($13 each). The Marina Margherita was simple, fresh, and perfectly executed with roasted tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil.
Service here is exceptional.
Sierra, our server, was warm, knowledgeable, and a joy. Sous Chef Trevor personally came out to speak with us about the food and upcoming menu changes. Bridgette, the Event Manager, stopped by to share details about events and new offerings (and she’s a hugger too!),
and Cindy made us feel welcomed from start to finish.
The space itself is breathtaking.
This is a true destination restaurant with resort-level design, multiple dining areas, and a beautiful terrace—something you’d expect in a major city, not tucked inside a community in Lancaster. It’s a $20 million dollar destination!
Final word:
Brickwood delivers on food, service, and atmosphere. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just want an elevated night out, this place is absolutely worth the trip.
Highly recommended — I will definitely be back.
