“mediocre food”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 May 2012 NEW

Had the 'Po boy sandwich. The few pieces of shrimp and sausage were overcooked and tougher than the steak on the sandwich that my husband ordered. His sandwich was bland. The pasta salad that came as a side with both plates was swimming in dressing. I would not recommend this restaurant. More

“Used to Love It But It's All Over Now”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2012 NEW

Have frequented the YBB for over twenty years and every experience was great; unique and lovely atmosphere with basically three (or four counting outside!) decors depending on which room they or you choose. Food was always top notch and overall experience was a treat. Hadn't been there for a year or so since they closed on Sundays (my movie day)... More

Came in at 8:58 PM (vs. 9:00 closing time) after we were refused service at Kazu. They seated us with a smile. Great food and great service. Thanks. More

“Potato and ramp soup...yum!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 April 2012

We had just spent the morning at the battlefield and were driving around looking for a place to have some lunch. We happened by the Yellow Brick Bank and decided to give it a try. The special soup of the day was potato and ramp soup. It was so good my husband and I wanted to lick our bowls. It... More

We are happy to know that you had a "flavorful" visit at the Yellow Brick Bank. You very aptly described two of my personal favorites on the menu. What great satisfaction for our kitchen staff to know that someone like yourselves appreciate the behind the scenes preparation to make each offering just a little bit different and special for our...

Yes, the Yellow Brick Bank has been around for a long time! The building was built in 1906 and housed the Jefferson Security Bank until JSB moved to its new location in 1976. The original building was then sold to become a restaurant...The Yellow Brick Bank. Diners, such as yourself, have been enjoying the charming atmosphere and menu of "old... More

Great community fundraiser. Memorable giving back experience. Yellow Brick Bank raises dollars to support the community while providing an event that was enjoyed by all. When have you ever left a fundraiser and the attendees asked how soon can we do this again? The idea was to capitalize on the great dining experience provided by Yellow Brick Bank, food, service...

Filthy aprons on the waiting personnel, and spider webs on the ceiling. Should I continue? More

We appreciate your observations and want to assure you that the Yellow Brick Bank meets all Health Department requirements for restaurant cleanliness. In regard to our waiting personnel aprons, they are changed and laundered regularly. As they are collectors of "all things messy" in a restaurant setting, it can be challenging to keep them clean on a busy day. Thank... More

This place was so much fun. We had a few drinks then ate. Our server recommended the Chefs hanger steak so I ordered it. I don't know what he puts on it but it was the best hanger I ever had. My friend had the lobster mac and cheese and a white pizza both were very good as well. If... More
