Brick's Smoked Meats is a hospitality business based in Sarasota, Florida. It was founded by industry veterans Dick Rivera and Laura Martin along with local pitmaster Mark Gabrick, and it operates on State Street in Sarasota. The restaurant centers on Central Texas-style barbecue, with meats smoked over live fire in an authentic Oyler Pit, including USDA Prime brisket in its offerings. The concept positions Brick's as a gathering place for diners seeking an authentic Central Texas barbecue experience paired with Southern cocktail culture. It has engaged with the local community, most recently partnering with Dsasarasota to host Trick-or-Treat on Oct 28, 2023, in coordination with the farmers' market and the Downtown Sarasota Alliance. As a small- to mid-sized operation within hospitality, Brick's emphasizes traditional smoking methods and time-driven cooking as core elements of its offering.
