Slow. Bland. Added a mandatory 16% "service charge" for a table for two and also had a line for a tip on the bill. Scummy. Be honest. Increase your prices by 16% and pay your staff a living wage instead of hiding fees on the bill. read more

We tried the vegetarian breakfast burrito and chicken and biscuits today. Very delicious. The coffee keeps coming and the service is just what I hope for, warm without being intrusive. We had good luck yet again arriving at 8:30. No wait for a table, food came out in maybe 20-25 minutes, just right. It's always pleasantly busy there and there are always people of all ages (including kids) which is so nice! The prices are good especially since there is enough to take home and eat again! I am a HUGE fan of their business model (the service charge) - having been a cook before, it is hard work, a labor of love, it requires skill and care, and worth tipping just as much as front of house. I have noticed after a few visits a couple of things- consistency of food quality and execution (very high) and consistency of staffing. Planning to come back soon to have my favorites and try more things on the menu, too. Bravo, Bruncheonette! read more

Great place to eat at especially for breakfast. Nice menu, friendly servers, good coffee, excellent food choices. I had the egg scramble and substituted tofu for the bacon. My son and girlfriend had the biscuits & gray and chicken & waffles and both looked delicious too. Another breakfast spot I will revisit - some of the lunch specials sounded fantastic too! read more

Great brunch and loved the twist on southern and southwestern cuisine. Tamale Waffle. I'll repeat that. Tamale Waffle. read more

When the food and the service is amazing you can't get any better than that. I had a omelette with a side salad if you are low carb. The ranch was sooo yummy. read more

First time there. Love the decor. Good vibe. Food is outstanding. I'm glad I took the time to ready the back of the menu. Im all for a living wage for the staff, but think a 16% charge on all orders is a bit much. And it should be more prominent. Also our bill wasn't itemized so you don't know if it's correct or anything about the additional fee. Granted I would have voluntarily paid the fee plus tip but it should be more apparent. read more

First time here! Out of state and totally loved this place! The food was fantastic and service was delightful! 10/10 recommend this restaurant! read more

The best breakfast in Spokane, but a bit of a wait depending on when you go. Still worth the short stand outside. Great coffee, amazing food, and super friendly staff! read more

It was a busy Sunday, and the place was hopping so we decided it was worth the wait. We were told the wait would be 15 minutes; it was actually 40. There were only two of us so we expected fairly prompt service. Once we were finally seated, it took another 10-15 minutes for our orders to be taken. So we had been waiting nearly an hour before even ordering. Once done, it took another 20+ minutes to get our food, which was uninspiring and rather flat tasting. Wasted 90 or more minutes on this place, would not go again. Sure, the staff was friendly but they were overworked. Understaffing a restaurant known for brunch on a Sunday is bush league. read more

Great breakfast spot! I had the sweet and savory chicken and waffles, and hubby had the chicken fried steak, both were awesome and we left full and happy! read more

Very unwelcoming, ordered breakfast burrito was just ok no salsa available. Had yogurt no fruit available. Lousy service. Never again. Other than this we have experienced delicious food and service in Spokane this week. read more

We stumbled upon this place while wondering Spokane on a recent vacation right around lunch time, and I am so happy we did. The wait was a little long for brunch on a Friday, but their mimosa menu, and their chicken and waffles were fantastic. The service was great, and the atmosphere is really comfortable. read more

First time coming to this place. Asked around on Facebook for their go to breakfast spots and I got a couple people saying I should definitely go here. The waiters were amazing! Super helpful suggested some of their favorites. I ordered the shrimp and grits! Mind I say I have never had grits, I just went for it!!! LET ME TELL YOU! That dish was amazing! I am forsure coming back with friends. Thank you! read more

Bruncheonette - Shrimp and grits! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Spokane, Washington

We went here for breakfast because we heard the food was great. Trying to find parking was difficult. It's a little awkward when you walk in, everyone stops and just stares at you. It took a while to get seated. We opted for outdoors since it was a nice day. Our waitress was nice, but didn't check on us to see if we needed anything else or refill coffee. The food was alright. I'd give it another chance, maybe it was just an off day. It was very busy and there was a line of people waiting to be seated when we left. read more

Quick service! Love that they serve coffee from a local roaster. Our food was wonderful! No complaints.

My wife and I, along with our son John and daughter in law Dana, stopped in on Sunday for breakfast. There is a nice atmosphere here, and the service was very attentive. John and I each had the Real Chicken Fried Steak, topped with country gravy, along with a country potato medley, and two eggs. The chicken fried steak was very good, nice crispy breading, the gravy had a nice spice but not overpowering, the potatoes were tasty, and the eggs were standard. John and I both recommend the chicken fried steak. Dana and Mary each had the Loaded Scramble; bacon, red bell peppers, onions, melted cheddar, three scrambled eggs along with a country potato medley. The potato medley had sweet potatoes witch Mary really liked, the both really enjoyed the scramble. I am looking forward to coming back for lunch. read more

Most of the reviews are about the breakfast but I stumbled in for lunch. My server was great as I tried their "ben-Rueben." Not bad although the texture of the pastrami was like hash. I'll have to come back for a brunch before I can give a higher rating. read more

Simply yum. This place is always busy but well worth the wait. Friendly service. Absolutely delicious breakfast/brunch food. Good drinks. Funny punny decor. read more

My daughter and I sat for several minutes and received no greeting whatsoever. When somebody else walked in 2 separate people immediately greeted them. read more

Worth the wait! Eat here. I'm not going to lie, we made a couple cracks about wondering if they went to the farm after we were seated (it bears mentioning that we had a large group) but the meal was worth the wait! I come from a large family so I'm not squeamish about sharing food. That being said I tried almost every dish at the table and enjoyed the sampling. My favorite was the BACON STICKY BUN!!!!!! Whaaaa?!?! Sooooo beautifully wonderfully dense and THAT CREAM?! Wow. The other dishes you need to try? * Chilaquiles (just TRY to pronounce it worse than we did) * Monte Cristo French Toast * Tamale Waffle * Smoked Brisket Hash * Chicken Fried Steak Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum. read more

Wow.. what a treat! After eating a terribly bland breakfast the day before, we decided to venture out after reading Bruncheonette's website. As vegetarians who believe in the right to a living wage, we were compelled to support this business. Bruncheonette proudly advocates their staff by providing a living wage and treating them well. Our kind server exemplified the result of such support by her sincere enthusiasm for her workplace, the dedication of the chef/s, the delicious food, the humanity of the place and why she had been working there 6 years AND enjoying it. The food was EXCELLENT. The hollandaise sauce was like nothing I have ever tasted. The combinations of flavors was to be applauded. We needed to be distanced/masked (due to health issues) so they kindly seated us on the patio and were respectful, quick and courteous. When a staff member enjoys her work, loves her chef and boss, and adores their efforts - there is everything to be praised. I am thrilled we supported this place. When we return to Spokane, this will be our happy go-to. read more

It was my first time in Spokane this weekend, and was not sure what to expect! Bruncheonette was recommended by locals and I was highly impressed! The place itself has a very chic ambiance and decor. I ordered the Loaded Scramble and was very pleased with the flavor and size of the dish. It's filling, but you don't leave feeling groggy or overstuffed. Pair it with the jalapeño hot sauce to bring it all together. read more

The Good: Food was delicious. I got the smoked brisket hash with smoked tomato sauce and I scraped my plate clean. Everything was incredibly flavorful. The Meh: We were there on Memorial Day morning around 8am, nice weather out. Inside the restaurant, however, it was freezing cold! I could see the goosebumps on my husband's skin and I was shivering in my fully-zipped up jacket. Because of this, about half-way through eating my delicious food, it was cold. I still ate it, but it was definitely not as enjoyable. This happened the first time I visited Bruncheonette and was hoping it was a fluke, but both myself and my food were bone cold. No matter how delicious the food is, I think the only way to enjoy it might be to eat outside on the patio when the weather is nice so I can enjoy my food at a proper temperature. Bruncheonette, if you're reading this, please turn up the temperature inside. It's uncomfortable to sit in the cold and eat cold food. A dining experience should be warm and inviting. I shouldn't be shivering at my table. read more

My boyfriend and I came here on a Sunday, and there was a little bit of a wait upon walking. Although it didn't take us long to get seated because we were a party of two, it looked like others were waiting for a little while. My first impression as I walked into the restaurant was that it was decorated nicely, and it seemed busy. When we walked in, we weren't greeted by anyone - there were hosts/waitresses seating guests but they didn't really take time to greet us or show us where to sign in. Although It was pretty easy to figure out where we should sign our name down for the waitlist, I just thought it was a little odd that we weren't really acknowledged while walking in when we were right in front of all the people seating guests. I ordered the biscuits and gravy while my boyfriend ordered the loaded scramble. Personally, I didn't think anything particularly stood out from either meals. I did enjoy the sauces that they offered from Texas, with my favorite being the habanero! If I were to come back here again, I think I would give their waffles/pancakes/sweets or handhelds a try. I think I would have enjoyed my meal more if I had went with either of those for brunch. read more

Bruncheonette - Biscuits and gravy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Spokane, Washington

16% AUTOMATIC SERVICE FEE? Absolutely no additional tip. They automatically get a tip for not even providing excellent service? Service was subpar, had to ask server numerous times for check, food was over cooked, alcohol to juice ratio was decent but room for improvement. Server told us to wait to get the check while she talked with other guests and seated 4 more tables. We finished our food faster than she got our check.. will not go nor recommend again. What a sad day, especially being forced a 16% gratuity. read more

Oh Spokane this is your gem!!! Met my Bestie here for lunch today and I'm SO glad I did! I worked here when it was "side bar" and when I walked in I was so blown away at how much it had changed! I love the new layout! They have a very nice selection on the menu, but since I had checked out the selection before I went I knew I wanted the shrimp and grits! SOO good! The grits are some of the best I've ever had! It wasn't just a basic shrimp and grits either. They put sausage and veggies in too. Perfect amount of spice and I just can't begin to stop saying SO GOOD lol! My friend has the fried chicken sandwich and because we were both indecisive we just split the 2. The chicken sandwich is also sooo good! Perfect crisp crunch and I loved the sauce. The purple cabbage gave it an even better crunch! We had the potato medley as the side and those were very tasty. Tho I do not like sweet potatoes they weren't bad lol. I'm sure a sweet potato loving person would enjoy them but the other potatoes were perfect! I grabbed a bacon sweet bun to go for my hubby which is SO good. I can't even explain how delicious this place is! I'll be back. Often I'm sure lol!! So glad to see Spokane is evolving in the culinary world! read more

Bruncheonette is a pleasant surprise for the Spokane food scene. This is your sweet & savory brunch spot on any (and every) day of the week. They are open from 7am-3pm Monday-Sunday. Bruncheonette was created by the owners of "Couple of Chef's" Food Truck. This is their first brick & mortar location, right next to Milford's on Monroe. Shout out to Milford's, you do fish like no other. Anyways, Y'all, this place is LIT! They have everything you want for brunch. From sweet, to savory, to bourbon... yeah, bourbon butter. Don't ask, just try. Their menu is split up into sections such as: Waffles, Pancakes & Sweets, Plates (more gourmet dishes), Handhelds (sandwiches and burgers), and they even have salads. Please don't be that person that orders a salad here. I'm begging you. read more

Had brunch with a good friend of mine at Bruncheonette. We both ordered the chicken and waffles. It was a good tasting dish, but I wish they would have warmed up the syrup a little. It seemed cooler than room temperature and when put on hot food it really seems cold. We got the Nashville hot chicken sauce on the side, and I must say it did not taste like Nashville's hot chicken. It definitely had a kick to it, but the taste wasn't the same. Overall a decent experience. read more

Oh, what a find! Not a far walk from my riverwalk hotel - worth every step. A tamale waffle? Oh yes. Try it. Shrimp & Grits - next on my list. Wonderful service, good coffee and a honkin' huge plate of yummy food to enjoy. Doesn't get any better than this for a wonderful breakfast or brunch. read more

My bestie and I had a hard time finding a breakfast spot on a Saturday morning. But we ended up here and decided to join the wait list even though it was going to be about 45 minutes. Long wait. Busy place. Must be good, I thought. We roamed around and then read over the restaurant week roundup as we waited in the grassy hill outside and then at one of the outdoor tables. Finally, it was our turn. We were seated and quickly served. We ordered flavored mimosas which were so so. I got raspberry and didn't love it. Wish I would have stuck with OJ. We decided to share and ordered the chorizo scramble and the breakfast poutine. The food came out quick. Service was good. The chorizo scramble was not my taste. It was chopped chorizo sausage which I was not expecting. Cojita. Tortilla chips. Eggs. Cilantro maybe? I didn't love the flavors. The breakfast poutine though was absolutely fabulous. Amazing. I crave it. It was loaded with gravy bacon eggs and cheese. It was so good. There was plenty food between us to share and fill up which was great. Was a little pricey but kinda worth it. I would love to try other menu items and would totally return but hopefully it would be less of a wait. read more

You know you are a raving fan when you want to return the next day for another meal! First impressions here are very good. Came on Saturday around 12 for brunch. Seated in minutes (and they had high chairs and booster chairs available). I ordered the Monte Cristo French Toast loved it. (Deconstructed style, more savory than sweet, easy on the cheese--which I appreciated). Also, the drip Roast House coffee blend was delicious. Overall, I like the ambiance, the decor, and the service. I could tell that they cared about the little things (like the font on the receipt, and the weight of the water glasses). I'll for sure be back and be bringing friends and family to try some of their lunch items. One unique aspect of Bruncheonette is that they automatically add the tip (and have a special way of sharing it amongst their staff so the cooks get their proper due). The back of the menu explains exactly their reasoning for this and I felt forewarned and educated about this process. I'm a fan of everyone getting their fair share of the tips! Kid's menu available as well as coloring supplies. read more

Food was excellent. Was given 3 sauce containers 2 which were labeled and one that was not. Determined that mystery container was ketchup. Coffee was strong and had a good flavor but staff not too attentive to providing refills which is something I value when going anywhere for breakfast. Thought would sit inside as it was a balmy 61 outside which was probably the wrong choice as the a/c was blowing way cooler inside. Brrrr I am am usually 18-20% on my tips depending on the level of service and check came with a 16% "service charge"! welp! There's your tip and lost $ because you took my choice and my privilege to provide a tip based on the service. This creates absolutely zero motivation or incentive when it comes to your staff providing anything other than mediocre service. would have been nice to have known this before my meal. Either pay your staff more or add that into the price. Not good business in my opinion. read more

This was a delightful place to go to brunch. I arrived at 10:30am on a Sunday. We had a party of 5 and only had to wait about 10 minutes! Not too shabby. We were seated at a table towards the front. There is tons of natural light in this place which is great. For starters: they have coffee from a number of local coffee shops! Good coffee always sets the brunch tone. When we were seated our waitress informed us that it would be a bit of a wait for food. None of us found a problem with this. In fact, for me personally, I appreciate it when you know ahead of time the food will take a bit instead of just wondering whether your waitress forgot to put the order in. The wait wasn't awful for food... Maybe 40 minutes? When it did arrive it was devine! I ordered the Verde Hash - it came with two eggs (I got over easy) pork carnitas, and a wonderful potato medley with sweet potatoes, peppers, and onions. And the green salsa was so good! Everyone in my group enjoyed their meals. I will for sure be back to try more of Bruncheonette's amazing sounding dishes. Give this place a try :) read more

I have been to Bruncheonette about 20 times as it is one of my friends absolute favorite breakfast spots. However, I do not share the same love for it. I have been many times and still cannot figure out what to get. There are not very many menu choices and while I don't not like anything I have gotten nothing amazes me. They clearly take great pride and care in their food, but I find the small amount of options and because it is normally so extremely busy including a longer wait to get a table and then a long wait while sitting, that this place is just average. Normally the wait staff is not very friendly, but I think that is just because they are so busy they have no extra time. Definitely beloved in Spokane, but I find if you want more and better choices along with a more friendly dining experience .. might be better to go somewhere else. read more

After multiple recommendations for this place, I finally decided to give it a try. Luckily I came right before the long line of people for Sunday brunch. I got the Chicken and Waffles and it was pretty good! I could tell that the waffles were whole grain, but they weren't as crispy as I would have liked. The chicken was also fairly average. What I really liked, though, was the syrup they gave me. I could tell it was agave based and it was very light and not too sweet. I will definitely be coming back here and am excited to try more things on the menu. read more

At first glance, don't be fooled by the small-ish size of the menu. Once you start reviewing the options you'll have a hard time deciding what to get! I went with the tamale waffle and the waitress said I made a good choice- she was right! Delicious and filling. The cost for most meals seems pretty reasonable ($10-15 range), especially with the amount of high-quality ingredients used and amount if food. Many menu items are pretty adventurous, so if you have any picky eaters be careful! Although they kitchen seemed very open to accommodations and substitutions if needed. Lots of seating and a bright interior means this'll be a great place to go with a large group! read more

Yum! This place is seriously delicious! The interior is designed well, and the atmosphere is roomy and relaxed. The dishes were all presented in a very aesthetically pleasing way, and tasted amazing! I got a Tamale Waffle, and you should too! It was seasoned perfectly, and did not feel greasy or heavy. Every bite was a perfect combination of meat, lettuce, a cornmeal-ish type cheddar waffle (it was bomb!), salsa, jalapeños, halved cherry tomatoes, crema sauce, and probably magic. read more

I returned again just the other day for the Verde hash & it was just as good as the last time. Such a delicious combination of flavors. You can't beat it. Service was good. I like having a bottle of water on the table so I can refill my own glass. It was a littlecold by the open sliding door but, once thefood arrived, I didn't care all that much. read more

I don't think I've ever ordered chicken fried steak at a restaurant and now I'm sad to say that this place may have ruined all other chicken fried steaks for me. It was tender, crisp and perfectly seasoned. We had to wait 15ish mins but only because we needed a low table due to our little girl joining us. The staff kept us informed of the wait and were attentive to whatever we needed. My husband ordered the verde hash (both visits) and tried to eat it all because it was so tasty. We've visited this new restaurant twice and will keep coming back. read more
