American Classics, Italian Soul, Cold Craft Beer

Franklin's go-to spot on Route 23 for pizza, pub fare, and a tap list worth talking about.

About Us

On NJ Route 23 in Franklin, there's a place that draws people from across Sussex County and beyond, some of whom admit they wish they'd discovered it sooner. Brick & Brew earns a 4.4-star rating across more than 1,100 reviews not by accident, but by doing the fundamentals right: generous portions, a staff that actually knows the menu, and an atmosphere that works equally well for a Tuesday lunch or a Saturday night out with friends.

The kitchen runs a broad lane, covering American classics, authentic Italian dishes, and gastro pub favorites, all backed by a distinctive tap selection that sets the bar apart from your standard restaurant pour. Oven dishes are a particular point of pride here, and the menu gives you real range whether you're in the mood for something hearty and familiar or something a little more adventurous.

The room has personality. Guests coming in for the first time sometimes remark that the exterior doesn't quite prepare you for the energy inside. It's the kind of place where a server's recommendation can genuinely change your meal, where sports are on when there's a game worth watching, and where live music and stand-up performances turn an ordinary evening into something worth putting on the calendar.

What We Offer

Brick & Brew is built for flexibility. Dine in at your own pace, order online when you'd rather eat at home, or let the team handle your next private event through their catering service. The full bar keeps a rotating tap selection that pairs well with just about everything on the menu.

Hosted events are a real draw here. The space regularly features live music, sports viewing parties, and stand-up comedy performances, making it one of the more versatile venues in the Franklin area for groups looking for more than just dinner. Gift cards are available for anyone who wants to share the experience.

Open seven days a week, Monday through Thursday and Sunday from 11 AM to 10 PM, and Friday and Saturday from 11 AM to 11 PM, Brick & Brew fits into your schedule whether you're grabbing a late lunch or closing out the weekend right.

"I have been wanting to come here for years! This was well worth the wait, my only regret is not having come sooner. We had a late lunch/early dinner here today and the food was amazing. We ordered the Buffalo chicken egg rolls for an appetizer and my daughter got the sliders. My main dish was the Buffalo chicken pizza. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich and our daughter had Mac and cheese with bow ties. Hope to go back before we leave the area."

The classic brick oven cheese pizza was right on the money I had to order another one togo, the Chicken Maderia was delicious too!! I gotta go back, hopefully sooner than later✌️"

"Came from out of town and was looking for a dinner spot with hubby. From the outside it looks big but inside, its not as spacious. The menu offers many options. Burgers, steaks pasta and pizza. The drinks were tasty . We had the GinGin fruity mule. Dinner was delicious. I ordered a seafood pasta with creamy red. Sauce and my husband had the Louisiana blackened salmon. Both meals were great and we left very satisfied. Our server was very nice. We didn't have much interaction because there was a huge group there as well. Overall good experience."

"Doordashed an order and picked it up! and steaks were medium rare and were beyond cold/and rare and hard to chew, also there was PLASTIC in my pasta. for spending so much money this is so disgusting and a safety hazard, as i almost ate the plastic. ruined my appetite and had to stop eating. I called the store and they didn’t even seem alarmed by this SAFETY ISSUE and more so annoyed by the fact that i was calling. Very disappointing as i used to love this place and recommend it to everyone but will never be going here again."

"***3 1/2 stars*** The Kingdom of Sussex has become very difficult to access due to the sinkhole debacle, so in an effort to remain friends with my top-tier chum resident of said Kingdom in these perilous times, we decided to have lunch on the other side of Sussex, far far away from my typical Route 80/15 entry point. Sussex overall isn't the best area for eating options unfortunately, with the exception of a very small handful of establishments, so we knew the risks going in. This was actually a little better than I was expecting but there were a few misses. We came here (along with my #1 Honorary Young Pup Chum) yesterday for an earlyish lunch around noon on a dreary Saturday. It looks like they have decent outdoor seating in the back, but that was definitely not an option on this day. We were seated in their main dining area (my chum noted there's a downstairs bar area she's never been in herself, but I'd be curious about that), which was smaller than the pictures online would suggest - not cramped but not quite as homey/comfortable as I was expecting. I did love their little ice bin/cabinet by the front where they keep their bottles of water cold for each table; cute touch. We impulsively decided to hit up the Berry Mule option on the Specials Menu, and that was a huge highlight - one of the better mules either of us has had in recent memory, and we're optimistic that it officially got my chum out of her year-long mule slump (which is a thing, people. I've witnessed it firsthand). The mulled berries in the bottom were a little annoying, especially with the tiny mixing straws where the fruit kept getting caught on the bottom, but overall very refreshing and tasty. I'd ask for a normal straw or swig straight up to avoid our berry drama in the future. The mozzy sticks were pretty legit as well. A little TOO overly fried for my taste but still a positive (I like it when they have a bit more give to them, if that makes sense) and the accompanying marinara sauce was decent. Top marks from all participants. I decided to aggressively assert myself at the top of the food chain on this particular day and went with the Butter & Rosemary Roasted Ribeye. Eh. The bacon potato cream sauce it comes with is really good but there are two issues - one, it's completely obscuring the steak, so you can't see the super fatty gristle sections that I'd typically avoid/cut off and you aren't going to discover them until it's too late and they're in your mouth and two, the sauce got cold very quickly. It was a little nippy in there (my chum noted that the waitress had to turn up the heat in there about halfway through our meal) but I think the obvious fix is to make sure that sauce is piping hot to begin with so it's not chilly within two minutes. The potatoes were excellent, both in mashed and presumably roasted form. Would get those again in a heartbeat. Somehow I still found room for dessert and opted for the mint chip brownie sundae. I'm pretty sure all of the ice cream here is actually gelato, so be aware you're getting a rich co-star with these desserts. It was very good though on all fronts, and I thought the brownie was just the right amount of density - this was the only item I had, now that I'm thinking about it, that didn't have any slight issues. Perfect across the board as far as I'm concerned. The service was excellent and put this over the top for me as a result. Our waitress was very friendly and down-to-earth, came by regularly, and demonstrated a very strong knowledge of the menu. We were all huge fans, so even with small problems across most of the items served, that intangible made up for a lot in my book. I might have to get a little creative to avoid some metaphorical potholes (or dare I say sinkholes) on the menu but this is worth a repeat visit."
