I was introduced to Brunchies back in 2014 by a co-worker, and I've been back many times since then. Brunchies is basically a simple lunch/breakfast restaurant, located in a strip mall that (frankly) has seen better days. The strip mall seems to have declined over the years, in terms of tenant vacancy - probably due to all the US 31 construction from a few years ago. Regardless, I like coming here due to what I perceive to be a shortage of breakfast restaurants in this area. Brunchies does lunch too, and I've never had a bad meal here. read more

Incredible food and coffee, no wait time. Good service and kind staff. Would definitely recommend!

A Friendly, Clean, Casual Diner for Breakfast and Lunch: a sweet little family-owned restaurant that deserves to be busier than it usually is during the weekday. Brunchie's offers solid fare with affordable prices and friendly service. It's tucked into a strip mall near the Ollie's Discount store. The menu provides a range of diner-style food: salads, sandwiches, breakfast plates, soups. My dining partner and I visited Brunchie's around 11:30 a.m. on a weekday and were the only table in the whole place. This worried me at first but my friend assured me I'd be happy. She wasn't wrong. My sandwich: an egg (they offer over-easy on the menu but I requested scrambled and they happily complied) on rye (or you can have sourdough) toast with avocado and crispy bacon. YUMMO. This was a delicious plate that I will definitely order again. It came with a choice of sides and I chose fruit which was, when it came, plentiful and fresh. But their homemade potato chips!!! I couldn't keep my hands off of them! My friend ordered a burger that was cooked perfectly to order and came with a pile of fresh accompaniments including the homemade chips. We're already planning a trip next week when we go up to do some shopping at Ollie's, next door. read more

Basic breakfast place. Food is awesome, reasonably priced and the staff is really nice. We can walk to Brunchies from our home. All is great except...THE COFFEE! They have some sort of bulk coffee machine that makes watery, weak coffee that tastes like instant. I spend time traveling in Europe and at places of work, they often have individual sleeves of instant coffee like my grandmother had in the 70s. Horrible stuff. Unfortunately, Brunchies coffee tastes just like this. PLEASE up your coffee game and we'll come by 3 or 4 times per week! A breakfast place has to have decent coffee! Thanks. read more

I read this in another review and it is so true. It's a great place, but your GPS will lead you astray. It thinks you are there when you are still on the highway. I got there prime Sunday brunch time (about 10am), and the seats were packed. However the bar/counter was almost empty, so I was able to sit there immediately. Others waited in line for several minutes, because they apparently don't understand the concept of eating at a counter. A mother with a couple of small kids seemed to be under the impression that it was a part of the waiting area. But that's purely a customer flaw. Prompt service despite the crowd, good food, and great prices particularly for the Carmel area. read more

Food was delicious, had it for brunch, great food, great service. Highly recommend. Had a little wait but it was well worth it.

Great service very busy on a Sunday morning. Got a seated within 10 minutes took our orders. Very home town local feel. Dining area is a bit small, but I was surprised how efficiently they use the space. Kitchen is in the middle where everyone can see their food being prepared. Nice local find. read more

If you are looking for a diner feel type brunch place this is it! Staff is friendly and food is great. Must try the tater tots with gravy. It is amazing! read more

Great food and customer service. Friendly staff and clean establishment. If ever in town, plz check it out

How the cuss has anyone in their right mind rated this place below 4 stars? It's a "greasy spoon"(I've always hated that term) spot. And as that kind of joint it's easily 4-5 stars. It's a gosh darn treasure off of 31 in Carmel. Mom/pop owned I'm sure. Highly highly recommend this place. Don't be a blistering fool and rate this place below 4 stars you fudge nugget. read more

Not very exciting really. I had the Breakfast Burrito and it was "basic"(eggs, sausage,cheese,onions and green peppers). And it basically has no taste. No seasoning in the eggs. No seasoning on the sausage. It was as bland as could be. And if I asked for it I could have salsa on the side. They bright the tiniest cup of salsa which also has no taste. My friend ordered a "skillet" breakfast. Do I need to describe what we were expecting? Her food looked just like mine but was served in a plastic skillet shaped plate. And PLEASE don't get the sausage gravy. I have never tasted anything so odd in my life. Shudder. It was not pleasant at all. read more

Brunchies is exactly what you would expect. It's a simple greasy breakfast spot. Super super cheap and usually pretty fast. I wish they had mimosas, but it's more of a mom and pop shop. read more

A super fun breakfast spot in Carmel! I decided to check this place out after a hard track workout, so I was starving. I had the big breakfast platter with eggs, bacon, sausage, tator tots, and pancakes. It was amazing! Every thing was delicious, and the prices were super reasonable. Emily had a breakfast burrito, and it was so good that I ate some of her food as well. I would love to come back and try all of the other amazing stuff on the menu. Definitely would recommend. read more

Decided to try another "new" place for us! I ordered the Big Skillet and big it is! Has a bed of hash browns topped with 3 eggs (your way) with sausage and bacon. I was able to split mine with my son and still have some leftover. Also, since I'm greedy, I needs to try the pancakes. We orders the Piggie pancakes. They actually mix in eggs and bacon into the batter. Again, more than enough. Will def go again! read more

One of my favorite places for breakfast food. The sausage gravy and biscuits are amazing. Plenty of traditional choices and the best Oatmeal Raisin cookies for later on! Locally owned and operated which makes it an easy choice as well. read more

Relaxed atmosphere and great food. Service was great as well, although our server seemed a bit shy and not forthcoming with information, when asked about the menu items. But the food came out very quickly, and it was hot, accurate and delicious. We will definitely go back. read more

Brunchie's has been right around the corner from us for the past two years and yet we just now discovered it....and boy, are we glad we did! This place is about as much of a diner as you can find....the only thing it needs is to be a free-standing building instead of in a strip mall and the atmosphere would be complete. We stopped in on a Sunday for breakfast and knew something must be right here when we had to wait for 20 minutes for a table. Whilst doing so, we had a good view of the short-order cook doing his thing, which thoroughly whetted our appetites. For our meal, we shared a small bowl of fresh fruit, I had the veggie skillet - a very generous portion of sauteed onions, peppers, mushrooms and black olives topped with two eggs - and my better chose the french toast. The latter consisted of six slices of Texas toast dipped into an egg batter that was redolent with the aromas of vanilla and cinnamon and then cooked perfectly...slightly browned and crispy on the outside yet tender in the middle. The food is only part of the story here, though. We loved the local neighborhood feel of this place....unlike Indy, Carmel is not bursting at the seams with little home-style restaurants like this, so Brunchies is a real treat. Our server, Jenny, was so bubbly and welcoming...her personality and attitude truly made it a pleasure to eat here. There were plenty of regulars on hand during our stop, too, as many of them were greeted by name - this did not go unnoticed by us :-) When it was time for us to pay and leave so other hungry Brunchies fans could take our place, Jenny offered us some vanilla birthday cake to go. Apparently, the establishment was celebrating its 2nd birthday that weekend and had cake on hand for its customers. We took ours to go and enjoyed it later that evening while discussing when we might hit Brunchies again...this time for lunch! read more

Brunchies is a solid choice for brunch lovers. Their coffee is fantastic - I don't know what they do - but it's so yummy. We tend to always get biscuits and Gravy but everything is solid and quick. Warning - generally waits here On weekend. Pro tip: seat yourself at the counter! read more

Fantastic classic grilled cheese sandwich! Good portion size for the price and comes with fries. Fries are fried in soybean oil and are huge in size. This meal will be fulfilling and don't forget to add olives! (If you like them :)) read more

Decent breakfast with some moms and pops. Saturday morning had plenty of seating both at tables and the countertop where you can watch all the action taking place. Biscuits and gravy was a home run with some great sausage in the gravy. My breakfast date had a typical eggs, bacon, potatoes type plate. He loved how runny the sunny side up eggs were! Our GPS wanted us to take a very random route to get there as it didn't know what to do with the access road situation. Follow your gut, if you get to the strip mall parking lot, you are there. read more

Really nice local dinner feel. Food is pretty good. Not many Mom & Pop places left. Excellent service, good menu for breakfast and lunch, value prices compared to similar venues in Carmel. read more

This place serves stuff you get anywhere else for the same price or cheaper, wasn't that clean when I was there...wait staff were nice but not friendly read more

Great service, friendly staff. Would definitely come here again and again. Love that you can tell there are regulars who are greeted by name from the staff. read more

Four stars because the location is poor since the 31 construction made the exits change in that area, which is not their fault. But also because I wish they were open for dinner too because sometimes you need pancakes at 6:39 pm. My fiance' and I go to Bruchies almost weekly and it's just sort of become home for us. We've never had a wait, the service is always great - friendly, fast, and correct, and we love that you can see the cooks in the center of the restaurant. It's sort of old school diner but without the smoking and hungover regulars. Every time we go we find ourselves chatting about how we should open up a diner just like Brunchies and the whole family could work there and we could have nights off and live off of left over french toast. That's what Brunchies does to people...it sparks dreams. Go there. Eat there. Then go back. We love you, Bruchies! read more

Classic diner with the yummiest pancakes!! The waitress was so nice, and I got my food so quickly.

brunchies is THE place to go for breakfast or early lunch. It is locally owned and it has a diner feel due to open grill station in between the two dining rooms. Located in a small strip of shops where the Joe O'Malia used to be (across from St. Vincent Carmel), it's a perfect place to grab a table and warm up to a cup of coffee or hot chocolate, apple juice, or soda. Staff is amazing and the food is, too! Not gonna lie; I've never had anything but breakfast because I can't go there and cheat on the breakfast menu. I hear lunch is just as delicious, BUT...breakfast...they have a Kentucky Benedict that is so warm and fuzzy - ok the food isn't fuzzy but you FEEL warm and fuzzy when you eat it. It's a biscuit, halved, with a large sausage patty on each half. On top of that is an over medium egg. On top of that is their sausage gravy. It's served with has browns or tots (I know! TOTS!) but I like the fruit option with this particular meal. It's SO FREAKIN' GOOD! I also love their cakes. Pancakes, that is. They're crispy on the edges and spongy on the inside. I put peanut butter and syrup on mine but you do you. Just do what you do at brunchies. You're welcome. read more

Casual diner for breakfast and lunch. The menu is the definition of classic American breakfast. The pancakes are big and fluffy, but not enormous. Eggs are cooked to order just how you like them. I'm also a fan of the French toast. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. They have combos and a la carte items available for appetites of all sizes. The servers are very kind. Service is efficient. And, there's two dining rooms and a bar with plenty of seating. Parking is shared in a large lot for the rest of the strip mall. They are family friendly, with a kids menu and lots of space for groups. read more

Ungodly constant screech from the kitchen, which is open air in the middle of the restaurant. If you are over 50 you might not hear it, but I am never going back. read more

Specifically went on Tuesday since they advertised as participating in the Hamilton County Tenderloin Trail (HCTT) promotion. I ordered a grilled tenderloin sandwich, received a breaded version. No big deal as most of the breading fell off on its own. Price advertised on HCTT was $10.50, price on special board in restaurant $10.75, price charged $10.95. No big deal, not going to fuss over $0.45. Upon checkout I show cashier the HCTT app like it says in order to receive my four digit code, she had no idea what I was talking about and was not interested in trying to find out from anyone else. No big deal, don't need the tee shirt that comes along with participating in this silly promotion anyway. Other than the iced tea not having any ice in the glass everything else was acceptable. read more

First time here and won't the last. It's a nice diner feel with good food, friendly staff and excellent customer service. I had a tasty omelette w/toast and hash browns for under $8! You get good food at good prices! They also have plenty of lunch items to choose from. read more

Looking for fancy or upscale? Not your place. Old school diner breakfast. Prepared quickly. Simple ingredients. Just a good basic meal. Good diner coffee. Everything was good. Service was excellent. Only improvement needed is bacon could use an upgrade in quality. read more

Very good and inexpensive breakfast. Be prepared to wait for a seat if more than 1-3 people on the weekends.

Pretty good! Nothing at all wrong with it, but food, service, and atmosphere all left a bit to be desired. That being said, if you are nearby, definitely worth stopping in. Good and fresh food at fair prices, you can even see your food being made at the grill in the center of the restaurant. I've only been once but I would definitely visit again if I am nearby and hope to increase my review based on my next experience. Based on my current experience, it was fine, but I would not probably go out of my way to go again since there are a number of better breakfast places along the 20 minute drive from my location. read more

I have to say I wasn't to sure about visiting this place but reading he reviews it seemed they should have more than 3 stars. Well it's family owned and operated and it was better than I expected. Service was top notch and my Chicken fried steak and eggs was more than filling. Cute place and definitely worth coming back. read more

Brunchies is a great, clean, inexpensive breakfast/lunch! My French toast wasn't fancy, but delicious! And frankly, sometimes I prefer to have simple French toast rather than having fancy new ones. My waiters were very good and my food came fast. I need to remember to go more often! read more

Yoooo this spot right here is Carmel's best kept secret but the word is out! Was my first visit! The food and menu selection was really good. They only open for breakfast and lunch, I did breakfast and it was really really good! read more

First off on the way here, google maps will get you lost. You will be driving on 31s and it says you have reached your destination, definitely not as being I'm on the highway. Take the 136th exit and it's right there off the exit. We got very very lost on the way here (not from the Carmel area.) This is a basic diner style restaurant with fair prices and a nice diner atmosphere. The food was done quick and we were there less than 45 minutes. There is plenty of seating too. The food was very good, I had a ham and cheese omelette meal, and my friend had a breakfast order (that was quite large.) Her meal included 3 eggs, hash browns, and three pancakes. The total was right at $20. I had coffee and she had a lemonade so both were paid drinks. I think this place is very reasonably priced for we got so much food for the price in my opinion. This would be a place that I would return to when I am in the area on business! read more

The one and only star is for their service. Corned beef skillet was horribly bland. The eggs were all, either over or under cooked. But they will replace if you complain. The pancakes were very generic. A breakfast place that can't do breakfast well. How this place remains in business is beyond me. read more

Love the skillet breakfast. Great value and good service! Like every restaurant, sufficient staffing is probably an issue, but I see the same servers every time I go. read more
