# The Brick House In Port Clinton Presents A Solid Foundation For Great Lake Erie Shores Pub Food

*By James Hills — Updated March 2025*

Many folks think of only the East or West Coast but there's a great big swath of land in the middle that offers some pretty awesome opportunities for foodies looking to fill their hungry bellies. It might not be as "fancy", "healthy", or "pretty" as the stuff you see on Tiktok from folks in San Diego but the Great Lakes region has some incredible food that goes perfectly with beer and will certainly put a smile on your face. This is exactly what we found at The Brick House in Port Clinton, Ohio.



For those of you who aren't familiar with Port Clinton, it's just west of Sandusky (home of Cedar Point) and it's the site of the Miller Ferry to Put-in-Bay - one of the country's best party islands for guys that love hanging out on boats and drinking on hot summer days. Lake Erie Shores is a fantastic place to explore since it blends a sort of "New England" feel with fish shops where you can get a pint of local beer while watching the water and a blue-collar environment where good food is defined by taste and how filling it is rather than just simply how pretty it is.


We stopped by The Brick House on our recent road trip and it was a place that I can't wait to go back to again sometime soon.
