Disappointed Brunch Experience - Wouldn't Recommend We were really looking forward to kicking off our Seattle trip with a great brunch, but unfortunately, this spot missed the mark. The food was underwhelming overall -- the French fries were cold and hard, and even the syrup had a strange aftertaste. The coffee was especially disappointing -- tasted burnt, and despite claiming to have Splenda, they didn't, so we didn't end up drinking it. Oddly, everything came with greens -- even the pancakes -- and they wouldn't allow any substitutions, which made no sense and just felt inflexible. The only halfway decent item was the chicken tenders, though they were fried a bit too hard. On top of all that, the customer service left a lot to be desired. This was our first stop in Seattle and unfortunately not a great start. We definitely expected better. read more

The space is cute, the service was friendly and the food was fantastic. I LOVE a breakfast spot and I always order the "basic breakfast" (eggs, meat, bread, potatoes) my first time at a new spot. If they can't nail the basics, I don't trust the rest. The bacon was perfectly fried. The pork sausage was incredibly flavorful. The hash browns were perfectly golden. The salad was a surprise and quite a nice addition. My eggs were properly cooked to order. The drip coffee was tasty, fresh and well-balanced. The garlic baguette was good, but I will absolutely get the English muffin next time. My sister shared a piece of hers and it was awesome. For my money, this was the best basic breakfast I've had in the Seattle area besides *maybe* Maltby Cafe, and this is much, much easier to get to. All in all, I can't wait to go back and try some of their other offerings (especially keen on the benedicts, which looked fantastic as I saw them carried out to other tables). read more

I brought my mother to Brunchbar after a friend recommended it to me. We were greeted promptly upon arrival and our server was wonderful. Our meal was absolutely delicious and my mother really loved her lobster benedict. I had the chicken and waffles, my chicken was cooked perfectly, the waffle was crispy and the salad was a nice addition to cut the sweetness of the syrup. My mother lives down the street and plans on telling all of her friend how great this restaurant is. read more

Food was good though the wait was long. I'm excited to try other items. The chicken was hot and juicy and delicious.

Small place but I loved the vibe. I had the classic benedict, and it was delicious, the fresh spinach was a nice addition. The little side salad on the plate was refreshing with the mandarin oranges. Our server was switched out a couple times so that was odd, but I would definitely go back again to try something else on the menu. My lunchmate had the breakfast burrito and it was very large and looked yummy! read more

This newly opened brunch bar is delicious and I highly recommend you go. We went at 1:30 on a Sunday and had no issues getting in There are options on the menu for everyone, including vegetarian and gluten-free We ordered the steak fried egg, the waffle, and the BB basic breakfast with eggs, ham, hashbrowns, salad and gluten-free toast It was a great value for the high-quality and tastiness of the food. It's not often that we have breakfast out that we really enjoy, and we really did enjoy this The waffle was the best my son has had yet. The ham was a really nice quality and very tasty. Eggs were made exactly as ordered and delicious. And the hashbrowns which are shredded, were perfectly cooked - Not too greasy The service was good and she was there when we needed her. The place is a little small, but it's nice for what it is. Actually, I feel like the food is a level above the ambience. And there's no issue with the ambience. It's just that the food is so high-quality and good. And the portions they give you are very generous Breakfast is our favorite meal of the day so we're always looking for a good place on the east side of the water and we have found one. We will be back read more

The foodf was delicious and substantial but I had to deduct a star for the wait and uncertainty on how long the wait would be when we arrived. We checked in and it seemed like it would move quickly, and we were seated within 20-30 mins but our food took another 30 after ordering which was unfortunate. We also witnessed a situation where a runner gave an order to the wrong person, and the right patron had to wait for 25 mins for it to be remade for her despite her insisting she needed to leave. We ended up having to ask for a late checkout from our hotel because our meal took SO LONG but it was a delicious meal and the hot chai lattes were fantastic. Just don't come if you have any time constraints and with the high ceilings was a bit loud. read more

Great little spot that serves breakfast and brunch items all day. We arrived at 11:15 and snagged on of the 2 open 4 tops. After that, the place was constantly full. I can see why, as the food was delicious. Had the Waffle combo with ham. They were very generous with the ham and the waffle was just perfect. Love their special house made honey bourbon syrup. My wife had the breakfast burrito which had lots of veggies inside hash browns and a fried egg. She really loved it We'll definitely come back. read more

Good choice of dishes for brunch. The breakfast burrito I got was huge and partly ended up for breakfast the next day. Busy place, friendly wait staff. Parking was full despite being a large lot (but servicing lot of stores) read more

Excited to try the Brunchbar, very convenient since our Bible study is in the same complex. I tried the veggie omelet with hashbrowns. Nice portion size & delicious. A little too much onion but still good. Crispy hash browns. Garlic baguette toast was also yummy. Everyone seem to enjoy their dishes. I want to try their pancake & waffle next. I feel that their menu is too large, need to focus on brunch items. We had a hard time choosing due to the large menu. They even have pasta! Also a half sandwich & soup combo would be nice as well as half size omelet plus one pancake combo. Freshly brewed coffee was also good. Looking forward to the next visit! read more

Great service and food options. Love that there are quality ingredients and healthy options available so it's not all about pancakes and bacon. Place is smaller so on the weekend around noon, expect about a 30 min wait. Plenty of parking in the parking garage. read more

Bellevue needs a few good brunch restaurants, and this place answers the mail. Food was quite good, staff were very nice and attentive. The server did seem a little overworked, but she had a good attitude and was very nice. It seemed a little overpriced, but it seems like most Bellevue restaurants are. Interior was nice and cozy, but seemed a little "generic". read more

BrunchBar was ok for us. I don't think I'd wait again 40 minutes or order the lobster Benedict. The lobster was very tough and overcooked. The hollandaise sauce was tasty and so was the toast. The four shrimp on the Benedict were also overcooked. It was obvious that the servers were shorthanded. We ordered our drinks and meal right away, but the drinks didn't arrive for 15 minutes and were brought by a different waiter. The decor is nice, but it's very noisy inside. Waiter never came by to check on us or refill our coffees or water. We had to flag them down to get it to-go box and our check. The reviews seem to be a lot of fuss for a mediocre restaurant. read more

Finally a great brunch place in Bellevue! Definitely a welcome addition to options for food on the weekend. Came with my toddler and baby. No kids menu that we saw but easy to share things and order from the sides. Saw some reviews mention prices but it is more than fair for the portion size. I ordered the Lake Hills Scramble which was amazing! Packed with fresh veggies, cheese and chorizo it was absolutely delicious. The order came with a small salad, side (hash browns or fruit cup). My husband got the mushroom and sausage omelette, also loved it. We got a side of the Korean fried chicken as well. I was expecting small tender strips but each piece was huge! This was so good!! Tender, juicy, great flavor and a light batter. My toddler loved this and ate 1.5 pieces by himself!! (This is a glowing review for a picky 2yr old haha) We will definitely be back! Excited to make this a regular place when we're in the area. read more

Second time I have been there and now I fee like i need to say something. I got their fried chicken sandwich but it was underwhelming. It was too dry. Actually the waitress messed up my order and at first I received the Club Sandwich. Honestly should have kept my mouth shut because that was it! Anyways I give it a 3 because they obviously need more staff. Its small and only ONE waitress for all the tables. Also I ordered ice and never received it. Again not blaming the waitress not her fault but super understaffed. Food is okay, nothing that knocks your socks off. Personally not worth the wait. read more

It takes 45 minutes to get food. This is not coincidence; I had lunch 3 times so far and I got my food 45 minutes after I ordered. The restaurant was not that busy; 5-6 tables were filled. read more

This place is a nice "mom and pop" type local brunch spot. Food has always been good for us. The only advice I'd offer would be DONT BE IN A HURRY or expect fast seating or service. You're gonna wait to be seated, you're gonna wait to order and you're gonna wait to get your food. That being said, if you're looking for a cozy brunch this place is thumbs up. read more

We tried out this cute little brunch spot today, and it was delicious. The owner/chef talked with us about our food and about this being a soft launch, (waiting on their liquor license) so the hours are limited, but once they get that they will be open later. The service was great and the food was delicious. My son got a pancake that literally melted in your mouth, chef said the pancake is made with a blend of flours to ease digestion, the Carmel glaze and berry compote were made fresh in house, both absolutely amazing. I got the Tenderloin steak sandwich it was succulent, the flavoring was to die for as the steak was tender the peppers, onions and mushrooms complimented each other with every bite. I will definitely be coming back, what a lovely addition to the Lakehills village. read more

We ate here for the second time today and were blown away with the food and service. The food is fresh and very tasty. Today we ordered the lobster Benedict and the veggie scramble. Both were delicious and the food presentation was amazing! Previously we had tried the veggie benedicts which was delicious as well. The atmosphere is chic and casual! Don't miss their $5 mimosa! read more

I really enjoy the food but the wait time was very very long. It didn't take a long time to get seated but me and my buddy waited almost 40 minutes before our food came. And later it took us a while to get our check and then to pay our bills. The servers were nice but I think they can work on efficiency and perhaps streamline a bit more in the restaurant. read more

Honestly I have to give this restaurant a 5 star rating You wait maybe for 10 minutes but it is so worth it! The brunch was delicious delicious you eat everything on your plate Service five star - they pay attention Make sure when you go there you are really hungry because they give you a lot of food delicious food it looks beautiful on the plate and it's I'm gonna be one of their best customers read more

Our waitress was very nice! It was not busy at all mid day mid week. Tried a steak salad and chicken and waffles and both were super good! Will come back read more

Here is a place revisited in touring my 95 year old mom around Bellevue hunting food! Brunchbar is a new restaurant in the space where Wafflehouse (or something like that) used to be. The person greeting us swiftly adapted to our offbeat banter, sat us sensibly (95 remember) and brewed mom a new hot pot of coffee! Mom's waffle was spectacular with tiny dribbles of chocolate & caramel, then a choice of berry compote or Jack Daniels honey syrup. My avocado sandwich was fresh and balanced AND included a significant side salad...YES! Relaxed setting, wood, metal and poured concrete floor. Good lighting. We will return! read more

Awful experience, ordered 3 simple menu items and was assured it would take no more than 10 minutes. Sat there waiting for upwards of 45 minutes as I watched people who came after me get served, while servers avoided me. Don't want to assume why that was, but I was certainly the minority in the establishment. So take that as you will. Food could be good, but you lose your appetite after an experience like this. read more

Have you ever wanted breakfast for dinner, brunch for dinner, lunch for dinner or any combination of these. This is your place. I grew up close by on Phantom Lake and it is always good to come by the old neighborhood and find a place like Brunchbar. The menu is large with traditional breakfast items, lunch/dinner choices and they all sound delicious. Unfortunately we were able to sample two items today. Mandarin chicken salad and pancakes with fresh fruit. Both were absolutely amazing in both taste and presentation. The service was very prompted as were greeted at the door and shown of our table. My daughter is a pancake afficionado and this passed her test. As for the Mandarin chicken salad, wow fresh leafy lettuce korean style fried chicken and a lovely light Mandarin salad dressing. The restaurant is not a large place,but wellappointed and comfortable. This is definitely a place that needs to be tried by everyone and it is good to see the area has changed but it now has a excellent restaurant. read more

Cute little spot for breakfast/brunch in Lake Hills. The servers are always pleasant and attentive and our food has always been well made and is there's greens they are always fresh. Space is limited inside so during busy hours you have to wait outside. Plenty of parking but it is a busy location. Would definitely recommend because it's our go to for a good meal read more

The Mandarin Orange Salad with Korean Fried chicken was absolutely delicious, and my friend said the pancakes and bacon were divine! Friendly service as well. Can't wait to go back! read more

Brunchbar - Mandarin Orange Salad with Korean Fried Chicken - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

This place has potential but service was so poor and inconsistent that it was not a good experience. Put out names down but the hostess didn't seem to be using the waitlist system. We were seated fairly quickly, and they took our coffee and food order quickly. Then it was just waiting watching people who were seated after us get their drinks first. One dish came out relatively quickly, but we had to ask for silverware. Then we waited another 45 minutes before I told the waitress that we needed to leave for an appointment. It seemed the kitchen was understaffed and instead of someone helping them out, they have one barista focused only on coffee orders and waitstaff just standing around chatting. We had to ask for our coffee three times but they were quick to rush the check out before we got our food. Management needs to take a look at how their staff is serving, set goals for getting entire meals out together and quickly. read more

Bellevue's best breakfast! The food was uniquely outstanding and the service was excellent.

Ok..this is the second time coming to Brunchbar. Listen, People, let's be real here. There are not many breakfast places around East Bellevue anymore, let alone DELICIOUS ones! So, I'm begging you GET YOUR BUTTS IN THE SEATS and support this delightful little restaurant AND LET ME TELL YOU WHY!!! You are greeted and served with genuine friendliness! The menu is diverse and interesting along with familiar favorites. Salad at breakfast may seem weird at first, but TRUST! It WORKS as a palate cleanser and refresher as well as being good for your body. Now. On to the actual food. HOLY MOLY DELICIOUS! Not only is it delicious, many of the ingredients are LOCALLY SOURCED, so when you eat here, you are also supporting local businesses and farmers! My husband orders the Lobster Benedict. BOTH TIMES it has come out perfect and we all know how hard it is to get the perfect poached egg! I sampled a bite myself and being the uppity foodie that I am, was blown away! The hollandaise was velvety and beautiful, lobster perfectly cooked! Their hash browns are perfectly crunchy, bacon or sausage, whichever you choose is perfectly crunchy, eggs are prepared with precision and the Belgian waffle is light and fluffy. They also make a light and airy Belgian waffle that comes with their own homemade honey bourbon syrup that is out of this world! So...for a delightfully delicious, happy and generous experience, PLEASE GO HERE!! I love this place! It's become our new go to eatery that's just down the street! No need for Redmond or Kirkland or braving the hideous Bellevue traffic! We have a perfect little jewel right here! OHOH! I almost forgot AMBIANCE! It's an industrial type of vibe going on that is softened by lighting and you have your own little lamp and bottle of water at your table. The food comes out on these enormous slav like plates that are the coolest thing I've ever seen..I think the servers are going to seriously build up some Schwarzenegger arms carrying these around all day cuz I'm tellin ya they're HEAVY! Anyway, very cool atmosphere! read more

Food was great. Service was great. But the wait after ordering was insane 40+ minutes.

The food at the Brunchbar was awesome and so was the customer service. We went early on a Saturday morning and it was not crowded at all. The food came to the table in a timely manner and the servers checked on us a few times. It's a small space so if you have a large party, plan ahead! read more

The chicken & waffles (they serve with Korean fried chicken!) were delicious and moist - and portion large enough to share.

I will definitely be back to explore more of the menu - although I don't know if I have the self control to not get chicken & waffles again! read more

Foods are amazing. Reasonably priced and huge portions. Service and vibe are great as well

Great all-day lunch, dinner and brunch place with some unique brunch items like lobster eggs benedict. The chicken and waffles was fantastic with their own unique sauces for both. It located in the same mall as the library and several Indian and Chinese restaurants with plenty of parking. read more
