Have you ever been somewhere and thought that you were on a movie set? I hadn’t really ever had a moment like that until I sat down at Bricks. Bricks is a charming little neighborhood café right smack in the center of Santa Maria. It has that instant familiarity that brings you back to the linoleum lined cafés of your childhood (for me anyway.) The fare is pretty simple; burgers, burgers, and a few sandwiches with an attempt or two at the new health craze known widely as “salads.”

Before dipping into my actual food review I have to give “props” to the service at this joint. My drink was never less than half full and our server did not even bat an eyelash when I asked for nine separate checks, the mark of a true foodservice professional and something very much appreciated by someone here on assignment.

As for the lunch this unassuming café actually had a Green Chili Cheeseburger on the menu! For anyone who has spent any time in the Southwest this is big news, green chili is the lifeblood of the restaurant industry in the SW and I am constantly yearning for a green chili cheeseburger or a pizza with mushrooms and green chili on top. In reality I don’t really remember how the burger tasted, just that the chili made it GREAT! In fact, now that I think about it… I have nothing to say, other than Green Chili …uuuuUghhghhuuughhghh!
