I would definitely lunch here again. I was looking forward to a lamb patty but they stopped offering that around a month ago. I had a gorgonberry salad with a bison patty on the side and it was delicious. Perfectly cooked bison patty with a lovely char and good flavor. Little Mister had the Sriracha Caesar salad sans Sriracha and red onion. He finished the entire salad plus a side of onion rings. The small salads are generously sized. Hubs had the beginning burger and he was very happy with it. It was super juicy and delicious. I like that they have a large outdoor dining area that is covered which is perfect when the weather permits. Rock on BRU read more

Seated right away Got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with onion & pickles. Chili cheese fries The sandwich was not spicy.. it lacked some sort of sauce in my opinion. That's what I get for getting chicken at a burger place. 7/10 HUGE sandwich though. My friend got their signature burger and said it was delicious . Chili cheese fries were okay. 7/10 aswell. Finished off with root beer float. Now that was good, worth the $8 I think. For the price, I don't think it is worth it. The burgers are very big, but the little bit of flavor is missing. Service was great! Place was clean, so it got the stars it deserved for that reason. read more

I had great service and really appreciated the variety on the menu. The atmosphere inside is lovely, and there's so much to see and do around Montgomery before or after dinner. We ordered the snack burger and fries, and while they were good, they weren't anything revolutionary. I've definitely had better burgers, but the beef tasted incredibly fresh and was well prepared. The dipping sauce that came with the fries was interesting--maybe a house-made ketchup? Overall, I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu! read more

Everything was spot on--fantastic food, attentive service, and an atmosphere that was perfect for slowing down and reconnecting with family. As someone who eats gluten-free, I was thrilled with the wide variety of options. Loved the Winterberry Martini! Highly recommend! read more

We've been here twice so it's about time I write a review especially since the food was good! The first visit was during Burger Week. This was our first Burger Week and our first visit to BRU Burger Bar. The inside of the restaurant had a cool vibe and the seating was comfortable. Our server was very pleasant and made us feel at home. We knew we were going to order more than the Burger Week burger and I'm glad we did. We started with the Triple Dip - Goat Cheese, Peppadew Pepper Jam, Hummus, Guacamole, Onion Straws, Grilled Naan Bread. This appetizer was fantastic. It was SO fresh and delicious. I highly recommend! The burgers were juicy and quite yummy. The fries were great and the ketchup, which had to be house made, was delicious. We went a second time after I had a procedure nearby. Different visit, different food. This time we ate outside. It was comfortable, but the vibe was decidedly less cool. Mark ordered the chili cheese fries and a a burger on bread, so it must have been the Patty Melt on sourdough. I had a burger and onion rings. I had very recently been sedated, so my apologies, but I can't remember the name of burger, but it had bacon and white, melty cheese. The burger filled the bun and the cheese was oozy and yummy. The onion rings were lightly battered and quite good in that house made ketchup. We would totally come back. In fact, we at at Blu Burger Bar downtown before a show. The food always hits the spot. read more

Food was amazing! I got a Mexicali burger with fries, with the house ketchup and garlic aioli to dip, and it was incredible. My medium rare burger was cooked to perfection. Full disclosure I got the order to go, so I can't speak too much on service, other than that I was greeted upon walking in and my order was ready to go! Ambiance seemed nice as well. I'm here on business, but would absolutely return for dinner and a beer. read more

Hands down the best onion rings ever! So crisp! The pimento cheese jalapeño snack burger was delish and the perfect amount. Sat outside on a beautiful afternoon. Our server, Calvin, was friendly and attentive. read more

Good eats! Nachos, burgers, fries.... Servers are always friendly and helpful. All good!

The food was delicious but the service was just ok for what your paying for. The young lady acted as if she really didn't want to be at work that day that was kind of a turn off, but the food was really good. They may want to work on service. read more

The venue is nice, with plenty of TVs in the bar area to watch games. Our service was great and the food was even better! We started out with the chicken tender appetizer, which was delicious (be careful though because it is a lot of food for 2 people). Both of the burgers we got were delicious as well! We will be back! read more

First time visiting this place for lunch. We were craving burgers, and since Bones was closed down the street, we decided to try this place. So glad we did! The restaurant does have the ability to get reservations through Open Table, which is helpful because they are really busy. Indoor, outdoor and bar seating available. Our waitress, MiKayla and other servers had exceptional customer service. Our waitress in particular was phenomenal. The food was outstanding. My husband tried a burger, and I got a blackened salmon salad. There are plenty of unique options even more than their specialty burgers on their menu. We will definitely be back! read more

Meh... Mediocre food, ok service and cocktails. The food here is overpriced for the quality - which is lacking. The cocktails were ok. Not great but ok. My daughter had a seasonal cocktail that didn't mention that it was a warm cocktail. My Bru Old Fashioned was boring, like it was missing the bitters. We ordered the Triple Dip for an appetizer and we enjoyed that. It's hummus, guacamole, goat cheese and jam, served with onion straws and pita. We didn't get to finish much of it because our entrees, which were ordered after our cocktails and appetizer, came out very shortly after the appetizer was delivered. My daughter ordered the Patty Melt and Fries for her entree and I ordered the Fish Sandwich and Onion Rings. My daughter said the fries were ok but the patty melt was dry. My food was very unappetizing. Someone in the kitchen was heavy handed with the sugar in the breading that was used for the onion rings and fish. It was off putting. My daughter also likes onion rings and tried one and found them weird tasting also. The sugary taste of the breading definitely didn't compliment the fish sandwich or the onion rings. We asked for boxes and loaded the majority of both of our food into them so that my daughter could give it to her friend who was working late - hoping to not waste so much food and money. We ended up here because the restaurants in the area all had an hour wait. This place had a 10 minute wait - on a Friday night. We decided to give them a chance - even though our last experience at the downtown location was bad enough that we both said we wouldn't return. Well - the service was a bit better at this location but the food is just as subpar. read more

Went to BRU Burger Bar and it happened to be a nice day, so we ate outside on the patio. It's covered, so it offered some shade and there was a gentle breeze coming through. I ordered a portobello melt with spinach, caramelized onions, horseradish havarti, and parmesan on sourdough. My friend ordered a lamb burger with whipped goat cheese, spinach, red onion jam and curry mayo. They both sounded great, so we split and shared what we had - delicious! They have loyalty cards which includes the nearby restaurants, so we each got one today. Will be back. read more

First time at Bru Burger and I was extremely disappointed. The only good food we ate was the fries and the onion rings. The chili had good flavor but was cold. The burgers were burned and tasteless. I was stunned by the lack of engagement by the wait staff. I sat by the bar, and I witnessed at least 6 servers just standing there. One person was even scrolling her phone. After spending over 120.00 for lackluster food and service I won't be returning. I do not recommend. I should have gone back to Kitchen Social! read more

The patty melt was delicious! Fast service at the bar and cute place overall. Really enjoyed it.

The service was wonderful. We were greeted nicely at the door and then by our server. We got cocktails - the German mulled red wine (she warmed it up for me even though we were there for lunch), Sweet Juniper, and Snowcap Martini. They were all good. We skipped the appetizers since we saw how big the sandwiches were with the fries. We got 3 different kinds of burger and a salmon sandwich. As you can see the fries were mountainess and the burgers were a good size and enjoyed. I thoroughly enjoyed my salmon! We didn't try dessert since no one had room - next time! The restaurant is nice and clean (including the bathrooms). Good bar. read more

My family dined here last weekend for the first time. We walked in & it was a really nice upscale burger bar atmosphere. I cannot emphasize enough how amazing our waitress was. If you get the chance to dine in Adrienne M.'s section, consider yourself very fortunate! She has such a bright & bubbly personality & honestly knows the menu inside & out. She was so incredibly helpful & really goes above & beyond in her service. She is an absolute delight. Now to the food. We skipped the appetizers, although plenty sounded good, & went straight for burgers & sides. Every burger is customizable to fit what you want. I ordered the Black & Bleu Bison Burger (Cajun Seasoning, Gorgonzola, Bacon, Mayo, Garden - $16.50) as-is, prepared medium with a side of fries ($2.50). As soon as I took a bite into this burger, I knew we chose the right place for dinner (as if the atmosphere & service hadn't been telling enough). The burger was seasoned perfectly & had such great layers of flavor. The bacon was crispy & the cheese was tangy & pungent. I enjoyed the fries as well as the ketchup that was clearly made in-house. My husband had the Mexicali BBQ Burger (White Queso, Pickled Jalapeño, Guacamole, Fried Onion, House Chipotle BBQ Sauce, Lettuce, Tomato - $14.50) as-is, prepared medium with a side of onion rings ($4.50). We always share a portion of our dish with each other & my goodness, his burger did not disappoint. I am typically not a BBQ fan, but the blend of savory, smoky, creamy, & spicy - wow. It was hard to put down. He must have enjoyed the onion rings, I believe I recall him mentioning they were well-battered & I don't believe any were left over. Our son had a turkey burger with white American cheese and bacon on a white bun ($19.50). I didn't try his, but I will say he's a teen & was talking about how well-seasoned he thought it was, so I think that counts for something lol. He said the fries were ok, there was something about them he didn't quite like, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He still ate plenty of them as they were still "ok." I will reiterate that I enjoyed mine, & my husband seemed to like them when he tried them. Our bill totaled $71.95 pre-tip & while that may seem a little steep for burgers, you truly do get what you pay for! These burgers were next-level & I know we will be back to enjoy them again & again. read more

Food was really good actually, it's the service that was the issue tonight. All of our drinks ran empty because we had to literally ask for any additional drinks every time we wanted one. We weren't drinking items that are free refills, we were drinking beer and cocktails and still had to ask. They were not that busy, so it was truly hard to understand. Probably not going back anytime soon, but not every night can be a home run. Hopefully was just a bad night for them. read more

Visited on a Saturday night around 7 p.m. and sat at the bar. It took about 15 minutes before anyone even acknowledged me -- and it wasn't the bartender, but a server helping out. The bartender never greeted me or made any effort to engage. Nearly 50 minutes later, I had to ask for a menu myself, and he looked annoyed when I did. I eventually had to place my to-go order with the manager, who excused the behavior by saying it was a "busy night." Unfortunately, that's no excuse for being ignored. Definitely disappointing service. read more

This is a solid place to grab lunch. The atmosphere is exactly what you would want/expect from a Bru Burger. Food is good, but not great. Prices are okay, but not great. Portions are excellent. The service exceeded expectations--the servers and hostess were friendly and seemed happy to be there. In all, a good place to grab lunch! read more

Props to the hard work and attitude of the staff. Tonight, while there with my family, I knocked over my water right onto my plate. Runner that was walking by stopped, and all I said was "I could use some help." 10 seconds later, someone that I assume was in management swooped up and my mess was gone. Server was back in less than 30 seconds to refill water and get us more napkins. 5 min later there was a whole new plate, which I did not ask for and certainly did not deserve, in front of me. I regret not getting names to shout out. But I will certainly be back 2x more than usual now. Oh yeah, the food is very good. If you are on the fence on the onion rings, just do it. read more

Came here for lunch while in town for work. There was an uncomfortable situation at the bar that was no fault of BRU's. The bartender handled it great and that prompted me to get back into writing reviews. The burger I ordered was the most basic one and it was great. The Guinness was smooth and I'd come back. Highlight: the house made ketchup, damn, sometimes it's the little things that get you up in the morning. You know? read more

The burgers were stupid good! The stilt blue cheese burger was the best, second was a toss up btwn the southwest and patty melt, followed by the bourbon. Now the chicken strips were plentiful and could easily be a meal in themselves. Tasty beer on tap...great for a Rugby match read more

This is one of my family's favorite spots for a dinner out. I love their burgers but find that their fried chicken sandwich is actually my favorite thing on the menu. It's perfectly crispy and so big that I usually bring almost half back in a carry-out box. My other go-to is the mushroom and Swiss burger. Their fries and onion rings are also amazing. We have came here many times and always receive attentive service. read more

Upscale burger joint. My fries and ketchup were really good. Burger was cooked perfectly but the curry sauce wasn't my thing. Seems like a lot of the burgers are trying to be unique, may not always hit the mark depending on the person. It's a bit pricey, but that's to be expected based on how nice the restaurant was and the location. Didn't take terribly long to get my meal either. Overall pretty good, but I wouldn't frequently come back unless there was a special or promotion maybe. read more

Before the food even came, I knew it would be a good meal. The place on a weeknight was busy, but not loud. The waitress and her staff were highly attentive to our party of 8. The manager came around too to ask us how things were going and refilled drinks for us. I'm excited about this newer location in Montgomery so we don't have to travel downtown. They will be seeing us often here. Even their appetizers like the nachos and pretzels did not disappoint. It's no surprise their burgers are award winning. read more

So this place is a new and welcome addition to the area. My wife and I visited one of their locations in Indy and LOVED it. I figured there was no way this visit would live up to that experience but I was wrong. It was better. I got the Honey-Chipotle BBQ burger with the much lauded Onion Rings. Look at my picture. Seriously, check it out. It's not a photo from the website and I'm not that great of a photographer, it just really does look that impressive. It's HUGE! Bring your appetite. Let me break it down... Onion rings. Ready? Do you LOVE onion rings? I recommend going all in on the theme (the burger includes a couple of them) & getting a full order for your side. I know it's not an award they were going for but they won, HANDS DOWN, my favorite onion rings of all time. Battered, not breaded. Fried perfectly. Crisp outer crust with a soft, yielding layer underneath surrounding the onion. The onion is cooked perfectly in there. Long enough to soften but it still kept some texture to it. I've had all the best onion rings in Cincy and these are the best of the best. Somebody took the time to figure these out and do them oh so right! The burger. Meat seasoned nicely. Smashed on a flat top which I love because when it's done right you get this great, almost crispy, crust with great concentrated meaty flavor and you get a nice moist, soft interior because that crust seals the juices in. They do it right here. Good quality meat is just one of the details the chef is obviously sweating. Great bun. Soft but holds up the all that juicy goodness without getting soggy. The bacon is thick and meaty and delicious, great stuff. The pork was really good and that sauce was fantastic! Eating this behemoth is a drippy, messy adventure in flavor and texture. If it's always this good they're easily in the top 3 burger places in Cincy and I've tried them all. Service. I'm a thirsty guy and I never had to ask for a refill. Any questions were answered quickly. All requests were taken care of right away. Friendly and efficient. If you love burgers and are as sick as I am of all the "gastropub" concepts clogging up the environment I can understand why you might be a bit gun shy about trying Bru. All I can say is do it. Give it a try. This is my new favorite burger place in town. read more

I've had the Bourbon Burger before at a different location and loved it, so I ordered it again here! It did not disappoint, I really like the mix of flavors. Service was good, but the fries were way too salty! Normally fries are never too salty for me, but these were a little over the top. The location in Montgomery is nice with some street parking in front of the restaurant and a parking area around the corner. read more

I have eaten here a couple of times and had good service, and good food. Tonight however, I requested a table for 2, the hostess said she was clearing off a table it would be a couple of minutes. No prob. She leaves, another couple walks in, and I believe the manager walks up, and asks them how many, (2) and he takes them to a table. I said nothing, until he looks at me and says: are u waiting for carryout? I said no, I'm waiting for a table, ahead of the people you sat. He says sorry, and the hostess takes me to a table. This is the last person I see. I waited for 15 min for someone to come to the table. We got up and left. Ordered nothing. Zero service. Disappointed. read more
