Bruxie, my dear Bruxie. I have yet to taste everything on your menu but I vow to return very, very, very soon to check out that yummilicious sounding Buttermilk Fried Chicken + Waffle. Loved their waffle fries (I like to consider myself a French/Waffle Fries connoisseur, ha), perfect perrrrfect amount of saltiness and yum. And while I absolutely hate eating breakfast foods for any other meal besides breakfast, Bruxie's Green Eggs & Ham was not bad. I wouldn't especially return to eat here (except again, to try out that BFC + Waffle). The waffles are softer but your mind won't explode from foodie glee. Place gets paaaacked and with semi-limited seating, you could very well find yourself squeezing in seats not meant for however many you're trying to jam in (us, 2 in a 1 seater). However, I loved the outside seating (I guess you could call the entire place 'outside seating' as the garage doors pretty much force you to fraternize with the outside) as there are heaters and warm bodies :) I'd give it a try especially if you haven't had Roscoes or if you're just not down to drive to Orange! read more

OK. Rant time! A couple days ago, my gf, her roommate and I were coming back from Disneyland, and decided on a whim that we wanted Bruxie. The gf is obsessed with this place, and I can understand why. The moment I took a look at their menu, I had no idea what I wanted, on account of wanting to try EVERYTHING. I've only been to Bruxie's once and that was in Old Town Orange a few months ago. This is the new location...although I kinda miss Fatburger. Hahah. The Brea menu offered much more than the original location, so I asked the cashier on some recommendations, and I went with the Green Eggs and Ham, which will set you back about $7 bucks. It's pretty costly, but it's loaded with grilled ham, egg, tillamook cheese, mayo, and arugula pesto in their signature belgian waffle... I'm drooling just thinking about it again. Pretty gourmet stuff. The waffle fries are delicious here! Not too salty. I like the atmosphere better in Orange...it's got a welcoming, outdoorsy kinda feel to it like when you drive by it, it seems a little too clean or empty. Now I did go a little after 10pm, which was their closing time. Makes me wonder what it's like when it's busy. Oh, and the employees in Orange were a lot more upbeat, even later in the night. It was delicious, don't get me wrong...but I feel like I could definitely make this at home. Add a few extra dollars to the cost, and I could feed 3-4 more people. and another con was that my sandwich dripped out a BUNCH of grease. It was worse than KFC Chicken grease. -_- Oh, and I couldn't help but notice that the napkins and the paper bag provided were HUGE. O.O I felt kinda bad cuz I really only needed to use 1/4 of my napkin. it was like one giant handkerchief folded into a 3 ply napkin. The to-go bag was big enough to carry groceries in. I thought, what a waste... then images of poor trees and messages about saving the environment kept popping into my head. Hopefully all the materials were previously recycled. -__- Despite my ranting, I'm still a fan.. the food was delicious and service was good. Plus, I want to try many of the other items on their menu! I'll be back :) read more

Like the other spot in Orange, once you get past the waffle gimmick, it's just another mediocre sandwich. Make sure you eat your sandwich with haste unless you like it soggy, then you can wait as long as you want. Recommendation: Eat Quickly read more

I have to admit...I can't eat Bruxie every day. There's no cocaine or heroin in the food that forces me to come back every single day. But that doesn't mean it's BAD.... Their Green Eggs and Ham is something so simple you can make at home yourself. But there's something about eating Bruxie's version of it. It's always better THERE...so don't eat it to GO...you will be doing a disservice to yourself by taking it to go. I've tried a few others but found it to be too sweet...If I want sweet I'd go to Krispy Kreme...but if I want yummy Green Eggs and Ham...Bruxie is the spot to go. read more

I love this place! Can never go wrong with a waffle sandwich.. The waffle is perfectly made with many different delicious options to choose from. My favorite is the Smoked Salmon Lox & Dill Cream Cheese and to finish it off with a Lemon Cream & Berries dessert! Hopefully you're not too full to try their dessert sandwiches. Your tummy won't regret it. read more

Bruxie's is definitely tasty and worth a visit. I love how this one has ample seating inside and outside, especially when comparing it to the first location in Orange. Bruxie's burger, creme brulee, and their chicken and waffles are solid choices. Gets crowded during lunch, but the line moves pretty fast. Lots of parking (with the two structures)! :D read more

Came here on a nice Wed afternoon around 2. The place was pretty much empty except for a few groups here and there. It's located right on the corner and the interior is very open concept. It kind of reminded me of the aviation area in Disney's CA Adventure. The only downside to this was that it was hot and the AC didn't seem to be as effective with the open air coming through. There is free parking available in the garage or free 1 hour parking along the side of the restaurant. Service was great. We went up to the counter and the cashier was ready to explain to us newcomers what was good. This was my first time and I expected something amazing. I've heard so many raves about this place and ended up getting their most famous sandwich, the buttermilk fried chicken and waffle, and some irish nachos. That set me back $15. Within 5-10 minutes of ordering, I got my order. It was suspiciously quick, but then again, there was no line. The sandwich itself was enough to split between 2 people as well as the irish nachos. It consisted of fried chicken, chili honey, and slaw in between their waffle. The fried chicken was a peppery fried chicken patty. It was smothered in the honey but it was a little hard eating it like that. I actually cut the patty into 3 pieces so that I could get chicken in every bite. The slaw soaked up all the honey which made it a lot less enjoyable and I ended up removing that all together once I got about half way through. Waffle wasn't as crispy as I hoped, more on the verge of being soggy. Irish nachos looked amazing. Once I took a bite, they were super salty. Sad faces all around. Sure, it was good, but I found the salt a little too overpowering. Had to drink so much water afterwards. Overall, it was good, but not great. Will give it another try. read more

Hmmm.... Its cool idea and all, but I think its over rated. You all hipsters might love this over hyped sandwiched place ... not me. I can see the potential, but the quality of ingredients are honestly not that good. Its close, but not quite there yet. If they do it right though, it will be amazing waffle sandwiches. I don't understand why this restaurant is spreading like crazy ... I see Bruxie everywhere now. Guess you guys don't know what the real good food tastes like. read more

First time here, and I don't think we will be back. When we ordered, the cashier warned us they were short staffed and it would be 30 minutes until the food was ready. It came out after 48 minutes, which might have been fine, if it wasn't cold. The Irish Nachos were cold and spicy. When we mentioned this to a server she brought us new fries, which were also cold, but had different cheese (they put the Angry Mac cheese on our first fries). The the Holy Chick came out, which had good flavor, but the waffle and chicken were cold. The angry Mac and cheese was good but just luke warm. The El Jefe came out pipping hot and very crispy. Good flavor here. The kids had a Nutella waffle and chicken strips they we also barely warm. For a long wait and cold food with a $50 price tag, I won't be back. I also had to ask four times for the outside heater to be turned on to finally be informed it was broken. 5 minutes later it came on. read more

Came here during lunch hours and was quite impressed. I mean, a waffle sandwich? Who would have thought it would be so good. Ordered the Pastrami Bruxie and was very pleased. The Gruyere cheese coupled with the slaw and the saltiness of the pastrami sandwiched between the folds of a sweet waffle was just a sensation overload in the best possible sense. It was very delicious and very filling. I would like to mention that it was on the oily side. The parchment paper was dripping with oily by the end of my sandwich and I must have gone through at least 5 napkins. I shared the Irish nachos with a friend and was pleasantly surprised. They were very good, a bit heavy, but good. Seating is MEN DOK. Similar to other hipster establishments, you have to stalk for a table. Trying to find a seat with my friend and her 2 kids was a bit on the unpleasant side. We got lucky and snagged a booth right as we got our food though. I feel like they don't accommodate parents very well and that's the reason I have to give them 4 stars. read more

You really have to love the combination of breakfast waffles and heavy meats in order to like this place. Personally I find the over-the-top food greasy and unappealing. Bruxie is trying really hard to make themselves trendy rather than just making good food. We've been there three times, each time ordering something different. The odd combination of what should be normal foods, are unsuccessfully reaching for a gourmet pallet. This paired waffle is just too much for my taste buds, although im sure the waffle desserts are incredible. Needless to say we won't be returning to this trendy over the top sandwich restaurant anytime soon. read more

Bruxie's is a great place to find some grub my friends. It's delicious with different choices and it is somewhat affordable. It's not too expensive but once you start adding up the sandwich and the fries AND the drink, it's a bit over $10 bucks, which isnt bad at all! But just saying that for the super savers. :) Personally, i like the bruxie burger and the s'mores waffle. Their waffle fries are pretty damn good, and if you're feeling like a fatty that day go for the irish nachos which does not include nacho chips at all. ;P Seating is a bit sparse at times but there is an extended outdoor seating area covered by a tent so it's not that bad. For summer it's great, for winter time, it's a bit cold, but hey, who goes out in the winter without a jacket anyways! Sunday afternoons are always ALWAYS busy and lines are out to the street, seating is hard to find, but hey, if your craving a delicious waffle sandwich with a side of waffle fries, Bruxie's is the place to go amigos! :) Thankfully parking isn't that much a beez cause it's downtown Brea and there are two huge parking structure on either side of bruxie's and even though it's a busy day, you will find a place to park. Overall, I definitely recommend anyone to come at eat here. There's great food, great employees, good pricing, casual date night place, reunion dinner/lunch location, it's awesome, it's hip, it's delish! read more

Waffle sandwich? Best idea ever so glad they are opening other locations I like the green eggs and ham Get it? read more

I came to this location a couple times when I had some time to kill before work. It's in a nice location, it has an outdoor mall type of feel with a lot of great food spots surrounding it. I'm sure its a great place to be at night. But I love Bruxie. I usually get the create your own with cheese, bacon, tomato, & avocado with a strawberry lemonade. The service is pretty good. It's more like a fast food type place so there's no waitress waiting on you frequently but in passing they will ask if you needed anything. I plan to step out the box one day & try other things on the menu lol but for now I'm hooked on that create your own lol. read more

Bruxie - Create your own Bruxie. Cheese, tomatoes, avocado, & bacon with a fresh strawberry lemonade on the side!!! Yummy!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brea, California

Bruxie was delicious. The price was generous and the ingredients to make the dish was quite fresh. The place had some great interior design. But one thing that I did not really like was the portion. The portion was quite small. Otherwise, delicious! read more

This place is awesome! We went when visiting my sister at her school, Cal State Fullerton. I'm a waffle fanatic. Not a snob. Clear difference. A snob expects the perfect waffle every time. A fanatic considers even a bad waffle a good waffle. Feel me? But these are great! I went with 4 other people, so we had a good variety to try. We tried the waffle "nachos," the skillet, the pesto sandwich, the original, and a buffalo sandwich. All were great! The originals come with a sweet and spicy honey sauce. The skillet comes with a liege style waffle, the thick and dough-ier kind. The only comment I'd make on the food itself is that I wish the slaw on the original sandwiches had more of a dressing or sauce to bring it all together. My favorite part was the dessert waffles we got. The creme brûlée waffle wasn't too sweet with some strawberries and the nice crunch of the brulee sugar. The s'mores waffle was good too! I'd love to try to other ones next time we're in town. As for the place itself, I just wish it had wheelchair accessible tables indoors for people who would want to sit inside. Luckily it wasn't too hot this particular day, but we would have wanted to give my mom, who is wheelchair bound, the option of sitting inside. read more

I live in Riverside, and I've visited the Orange Bruxie location at least 15 times. I've tried at least 80% of the menu. I can vouch for all of it. Close your eyes, point to a random spot on the menu, and order it. This location cuts my drive by 15 minutes. Expanded menu options, an on-site bathroom, proximity to the movie theater, and most importantly PARKING make this my new Go-To Bruxie. That's not to say I won't be visiting Orange - I'm a nostalgia nut. read more

I went to the one in Orange with my girlfriend. She bought the strawberry dessert waffle (can't remember the name) and I ordered a burger. My food didn't come out hot at all. The beef patty inside was small, cold, and the lettuce and tomatoes were mediocre at best. The waffle itself was flavorless, dry and crunchy. My girlfriends waffle had the same texture and was alright in my opinion, nothing flattering just cheap waffle batter with strawberries and whipped cream. So i gave it the benefit of the doubt and went to the brand new Brea Bruxie and ordered a sugar and cinnamon waffle and still got that same flavorless, dry and crunchy waffle that just isn't impressive at all. The only thing I admire about this place is that they brew Pete's Coffee and are smart enough to sell people cheap waffle batter and call it "Gourmet." Overall, I think hype has caught customers eyes more than the actual food. Instead, try this. Go home get your waffle maker (borrow a friends) get pancake mix, vanilla extract, cinnamon and what ever else you'd like, stir the ingredients together pour it into the waffle maker and then put what ever you want on the waffle! Same concept, yet so much better and you save your money! read more

Absolutely in love with the food! It's a great place to hang out at night and enjoy downtown Brea. The unique twist on sandwiches by replacing the bread with waffles provides for a delicious meal. Although the wait can be super long sometimes, I'd say that it is definitely worth it. Definitely one of my favorite places to eat when out with friends. read more

Unique concept for sandwiches and desserts for sure, and many if not most of the items here are tasty. At times, it can be really busy with a line out the door however and the eating experience here is no better than a fast food place. read more

When I started working locally I was so excited to be near a Bruxie. After eating here for over two years, I won't be returning. Slow and unfriendly service. And this time after waiting over 20 minutes for my food, the waffle was burnt. Tasted like honey covered charcoal. Not worth the wait. read more

This place is tasty, mang! Who would think waffle sandwiches would be so good?!? It's definitely a novelty that I feel will stick around for some time. I partook in the special of the day, which was the short-rib. It contained slow-roasted short-rib with a couple waffles fries and blue cheese in-between two waffles. It also came with some dipping sauce that it didn't really need. It was moist and absolutely scrumptious. So glad I ordered it. I thought the blue cheese would be overpowering, but it actually added a nice flavor to the short rib that my tastebuds really enjoyed. I also tried my friend's tuna melt, which was also pretty yummy. As well as the nutella with banana's and sweet cream, which was soooo good. I would have ordered one myself had I not been so full. The line moves pretty fast to order your food. The seating inside in limited but they have a large outdoor patio with heaters. Not sure why they give you a pager after you order cuz the people who drop off the food are calling our your name when it's ready. It didn't take too long either. So I wanna come back here as soon as possible and try out some other things. So fun! read more

Finally after hearing friends talk about it I decided to eat here. Was a wonderful experience. Our cashier Selena and server (black haired girl around 18 low ponytail) was very helpful Selena was extremely friendly and answered all of our questions and checked up on how we liked the food she had recommended. We had the Irish nachos, el jefe sandwich matched with mildly spicy tater tots, burger we were able to add avocado and bacon, and for desert we had these perfectly sized mini Nutella and banana and a creme brûlée sandwich. Will definitely be coming back here!! read more

The food is OK, there is no place to sit, and the service is terrible. The cashier made an honest mistake on our bill and then the manager came over to try and fix it. Our order ended up getting canceled out of the system, which we did not find out until waiting for over 20mins for our food. They finally agreed to make the order after we asked where it was and got it to us in about 5 more mins. The entire experience took over 40mins from when we first got into line until we got our food. The manager offered me a cup of icecream and a $5 gc for my troubles. The ice cream got tossed and I gave the $5 gc to someone in line, because we are never going back! read more

I'm not sure what's happened here but the service has gone down hill. They used to be on top of everything from ordering to service to attentiveness. No longer. Too bad because I really really enjoyed this restaurant. read more

Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Snack, Dessert ... does not matter what you are in a mood for. You can have it at Bruxies. Only one condition, it will be made with a waffle. Their menu has lots of interesting options, even for a vegetarian like me. The waffles themselves are warm and moist. The fillings inside are equally tasty. But the best ingredient is the enthusiasm with which the staff suggest and serve the waffles. I have eaten at both the old town orange and the brea locations. Brea has a little more space than orange but you will still find it a bit difficult to find space especially on a weekend morning. Its that popular. My favorites: the Belgian Liege with Nutella and choclate, the creme brulee, and the wild mushroom with goat cheese. Damn !!! I feel like getting a waffle now. read more

I've wanted to try this place for a while since the idea of waffles + anything = a dream come true. We came here on labour day for dinner and I ordered the chicken with waffles and the bf ordered the bacon avocado burger. Our orders came in about 5 minutes and my god, the waffles were probably one of the lightest and fluffiest waffles I've ever had. The chicken breast was battered, juicy and the sauce on it was a perfect combo of salty and sweet. The bf also thoroughly enjoyed his order and we both devoured our food within minutes. Would definitely recommend and I will be coming back soon to try new flavours! read more

Bruxie - Chicken and waffles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brea, California

Can you say YUMMMMMAAAAAY! My friend told me that I had to go eat at Bruxie with her... I asked her what kind of food they served, and she said, "WAFFLES AND CHICKEN". My first thought was "EWWWW", why and how is that possible to consume?! Oh boy, was I wrong! When I first arrived, the line was way out the door, but to my surprise it moved fairly quickly. It was a hot day, so they had EXTREME mist coming out of the overhang. I mean, yeah it was hot, but I wasn't asking for a shower of mist in my face. It was so misty that I had to use the menu as an umbrella for my face. Anyways, on to the more important things. We were able to get a table, though it seemed like it would be a task. Not too spacious considering how popular this place is... But people here eat and leave in a timely manner, which is a plus for such a small place. The food came out in a reasonable time. My meal came with a little bottle of syrup. It was so cute, I had to take it home with me!!! The lady next to me asked if it was wine... I don't know, it was a weird question. FOOD WAS DELICIOUS. I had the waffle with chicken and fries. Oh my gosh, I didn't think waffles and chicken could ever complement each other so well. The chicken was very tender, and was flavored in a way that was just right! I wish there was a Bruxie where I live. I will definitely be back when I visit LA. read more

I love the fried chicken waffle sandwich, it's always my go to sandwich. The business is located near everything, dessert, movies, and activities are all next door:) I love the vibe of having breakfast here, the food is always delightful and the staff very very friendly. Honestly when I first ate here, I was iffy cuz j was like fried chicken in a waffle.. Sounds weird, right? But I was wrong and just have to say that it was the weirdest and most delicious piece of fried chicken I ever bit into hahaha! Check it out!;) read more

I love the original chicken waffle sandwich. The service here is fantastic. I highly recommend

Pretty fire got the original and it tasted good. Nice area around too. Can get slightly messy but definitely worth trying it out

Bruxie is amazing! Waffle burgers were new to me but this place is great. It's delicious and cheap.The meat was nice and juicy. Got my meal quickly and was in and out of there within thirty minutes. I reheated part of my sandwich the next day, and it still tasted great. Make sure to grab an extra coat if it's cold though cause outdoor seating on a cloudy and windy day isn't the greatest. read more

The food is awesome and different. I only get the Green Eggs and Ham. I took a bite of the Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Waffle and it was refreshing!

The staff and quick, attentive, and very friendly. read more

Get the chicken and waffles... so good... and it won't cause you to go into food coma like Roscoes.

This is the second time I've had lunch at a Bruxie's - the first being in Orange. I have to say that the food was just as great at the Brea location and I actually preferred the locale since they have a larger seating area than the Orange restaurant. The Brea Bruxie's offers completely covered seating outside, along with seating inside as well. I again had the portabello mushroom and goat cheese sandwich (fantastic) and my husband tried one of the specials, a hash sandwich (prosciutto and pastrami hash - no egg) and said it was really good. We would definitely return as it sits right in between the two movie theaters on Birch Street and is in a great location if you're planning to see a movie before or afterward. read more

I love Bruxie!! I have eaten here time and time again. It's not too heavy food and usually hits the spot just right. If you are really hungry, then you may need more than just one dish. My favorites are the green eggs and ham and the banana & nutella. I have not tried the burger one yet, but heard it's really good. The chicken and waffles one... ehh, it's nothing to write home about. I'd rather get the chicken and waffles at a real chicken and waffles place, like Roscoe's. read more
