Been wanting to try Bruxie for awhile now. Finally, got the opportunity recently. Was surprised at what we found. I thought that it was a regular indoor restaurant. I was wrong. You order at the counter. Then find a spot to sit. Although, most of the seating is under one roof, the entire area is open. It was a chilly day. All the tables with outdoor heaters were taken. So, some in our group were not comfortable with the chilly conditions and seating arrangements. Customer service was mixed. The girl who took our order was good. The person who brought our order was not very good. It took a bit long to receive our food. They also forgot about my fries until I told them they never brought it to me like they said they would. On to the food: the group at our table ordered the following: Original Chicken & Waffle ($8.50) Crispy Chicken & Waffle ($8.50) Holy Chicken & Waffle ($9.95) Kid's Mac & Cheese Waffle Fries ($2.50) Strawberry Lemonade We all thought the chicken tasted delicious. The waffles which enveloped our chicken was fine too. Fries were tasty when I finally received them. My niece did not like the mac & cheese. Based on this one experience, I was not impressed. Might stop in again if there was no line and seating was available. Would not go out of my way to visit. Bruxie is A-Ok. read more

High expectations? Waa ultimately disappointed. You are my favorite dessert place! But the nutella banana waffle I got was meh. It had the taste and crunchiness but lacked the temperature. It was just cold all around. I'm hoping it waa an anomoly since it waa a chilly evening and I had my kids with me. Perhaps they were worried it may burn them but room temperature waffle, nutella and a cold banana was not the experience i was expecting. Perhaps my expectations were too high. read more

Best chicken in Brea Juice and taste My favorites is the original and crispy with waffle Also the chicken tenders and shake are also great Great service as well Highly recommend read more

WAFFLE FRIES! Fantastic and addictive. Bruxie is an awesome casual spot for food. Good portions, great service, & delicious food. My friend brought me here for dinner and popped my Bruxie cherry. I ordered a waffle burger combo - Non-greasy folded waffle holding two beef patties with cheese, mayo, lettuce, and tomato slice with waffle fries and their oh-so-yummy strawberry lemonade. I hiiighly recommend getting the combo! Worth the extra money to get both a drink and fries instead of buying one item separately. Seating is available inside or outside on the patio. Loving the high top tables which make people watching a breeze haha. Parking can be found nearby in the structure or in the adjacent parking lot. read more

I've heard about Bruxie over 10 years ago, only thing I knew was that they had waffle sandwiches. Intriguing but never went out of my way to try it. Last week I finally did. I got the original which is their play on chicken and waffles, but in sandwich form. The chicken was seasoned well, and the waffle was quite buttery. There was a drizzle of maple syrup. Overall, great sandwich but the syrup quickly made the bottom waffle soggy. I also had an order of the Irish nachos which were okay at best, way too salty for my liking. The fried pickles were great, a little thicker than what I was used to but still good. Overall, I'd come here again. I would love to try their other items. read more

Stopped by on Saturday after the movies for a quick bite. I was craving a chicken sandwich (as I normally do) and decided to give Bruxie a whirl! I didn't want anything to heavy or fried so I opted for a grill chicken sandwich with pickles and bruxie sauce My husband also got grilled chicken on the el jefe. Both were delicious, juicy and flavorful! We got a drink and a side of tots all for about $25 which is a pretty good deal for the size and quality of the sandwiches! I had tried this place before and personally enjoy the sandwiches on brioche more than the waffle buns - and now will definitely be ordering the grilled chicken option again! read more

Good food. Daughter loves their chicken tenders. Much better quality and taste than other fast food. Waffles are also yummy!

I ordered an "original" and creme brulé with strawberries for takeout. Instead of creme brulé custard, I received lemon custard, which was absolutely disgusting and very disappointing, especially given that I had been craving creme brulé for days prior and made the special trip to bruxie purely for this item. The "original" was ok. The menu is very limited and simple for such a mistake to occur. This $10 (with tax) soggy lemon custard waffle sandwich is practically inedible to me and a waste of calories... into the trash it goes. It appeared to contain a grand total of only four small strawberries. The service from the front/floor employees was adequate, and the restaurant itself has a pleasant ambiance and is nicely located in Downtown Brea with adequate parking in the nearby parking structure, and similarly underwhelming restaurants close by. read more

Awesome service and great food. Will definitely be back. Couldn't decide between sweet or savory. Went with the bacon and egg and was not disappointed. If that wasn't so filling, I would have had the sweet one too. read more

First of all... Bruxie has THEE BEST lemonade!!! He savory waffles are so delicious, and the chicken is so juicy. We didn't have to wait so long for our food to come out. We loved it so much that we came back the next morning. The desert waffles are sweet, warm, and delicious!!! I'm drooling just thinking about it. I'd definitely recommend this place to a friend... and already did... and they love it! read more

Cool place for a quick lunch in downtown Brea! Atmosphere: The restaurant is half indoors and half outdoors with seating areas in both places. Definitely a nice change from other fast food places because you'll actually want to eat there. Service: The staff has always been very friendly here. Even the staff members that are cleaning stop to ask if you're enjoying your food or if you need anything. Food: No surprise that we got the Original Chicken and Waffle Sandwich, which you can never go wrong with! We also go the waffle fries and the seasonal soda that was strawberry this time around. While I really enjoy their Chicken Sandwiches, I love coming back to get their seasonal soda! They change them out pretty often and every flavor I've had so far has been delicious and refreshing! Would I come back: Yes! read more

Bruxie - Original Chicken and Waffle Sandwich with Waffle Fries, a Seasonal Soda (Strawberry), and a side of extra Chili Honey - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brea, California

I enjoyed my spicy chicken sandwich, if you come I recommend you come earlier for meals bc it does get busy. The chicken with the sauce gets a little heavy, expected since it is fried chicken after all but I do wish there was some more freshness in the sandwich to balance out the heaviness. I feel that the burger with ground beef would pair better than the fried chicken. I would come back and try that. read more

This place was being hyped by a couple of friends so we went this morning and I was so disappointed with the waffles I received they where burnt there was no fluff to it it was just pure crunch.. will I come back?

It's been YEARS since I've visited Bruxie, and boy has their menu changed! Our old favorites sadly didn't make the cut, but my husband and I were able to find new items to try. I ordered via their website for pick-up, which was a mistake for many reasons. Firstly, apparently that service is offended via DoorDash, and our whole meal ended up being almost $10 more than if we ordered at the store. I brought this up to the cashier, but he and the supervisor (I'm assuming) said there was nothing they could do. Secondly, our order wasn't ready on time; we ended up waiting 15ish minutes longer than what our promised time was. Patrons who came in after us and ordered at the register got their food before we did. I *almost* canceled the order, but held off because I really just wanted our food. Fast forward to the meal, at home: it was good! Somehow it stayed warm enough and it traveled pretty well. I had the Nashville chicken sandwich and the flavors were bold and delicious. My husband had the pastrami special, and he liked that as well. We will return, eventually, but I refuse to order online because that proved to be a waste of time and money. read more

Came here to make up for the first half of my lunch around 1 pm on a Saturday and there was a short to no line. I ended up ordering the Nashville waffle sandwich and added the waffle fries and drink combo. I was with a friend and he said that the Nashville is better than the Original. I haven't tried the Original but the Nashville waffle sandwich was amazing and definitely blew my mind. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and full of flavor! The pickles in it helped cut and balance the creamy sauce that was used in it. The waffle sandwich made up for the mac n cheese I had for lunch right before from a nearby place that I won't mention... As for the drink, I gotten the strawberry lemonade because I knew it would be refreshing to have to balance the meal and it was a sunny warm day. read more

My dad and I often come here for father-daughter brunch, the quality of the food is always consistent! Love how the waffles come out so nice and fresh. Great service too.

I've had my eyes on this place since it opened up like a long long time ago. Thinking this is just another same ol chicken and waffles place not having very high expectations, decided to go for it. Having ordered the safe choice chicken & waffles plate, I was pleasantly surprised by it's tender delectable tastiness! Syrup was drizzled over the chicken and waffles giving it that sweetness touch. The waffle had a crunchiness to it which I absolutely love. And the nutella & bananas waffle is like one of my fav desserts! And of course it was good (I'll order anything with nutella)!!. Sitting outside under the covered patio is the way to go with its street side views. read more

I used to love coming here to eat. But I've recently got sick of it because I've been eating here too often lol my suggestion is to try this place out but don't be like me and eat here too often. It's right in the middle of Downtown Brea. There's tons of parking not too far. I don't really recommend anything in particular just because I like to always try something different here. Give it a go! read more

Solid sandwich. Tried two things. The original and the holy chicken, hold the bacon. I preferred the original. The holy chicken was good too - but advertised as spicy and not really spicy at all for my taste. And it didn't need the cheese - you couldn't really taste it anyways. They nailed the fried egg though - it was perfect. As a huge chicken and waffles guy, I liked it, but I don't see at as a substitute for a real chicken and waffles experience. I love my chicken and waffles with a good amount of maple syrup, some hot sauce and butter, which you really can't do here with sandwiches. Price point is high too. So for what it is - a fast food, convenient chicken and waffles experience it works. read more

Over all Rating 2.5 Stars*** I figured chicken and waffles what could go wrong right? The cashier suggested this meal to me, an it was disgusting! After reading tons of rave yelp reviews about how good this place is, I decided to give it a try. I came here with high expectations and sad to say, I received a concoction with greasy chicken skin, coleslaw, an a delicate waffle that equaled a soggy mess. 1/5 *stars for Nashville-style hot chicken thigh 2/5 **stars pricing 3/5 ***Ambiance 4/5 ****Stars service 5/5 *****Stars Treats & water for dogs Recommend: Since it was my first time here (experiencing chicken and waffles period) I asked the cashier clerk what is their best dish (what does she recommend I order). And she specifically said, their best item for first timers is the Nashville-style hot chicken thigh (I looked on yelp and couldn't find any reviews on this item) so I tried her suggestion (Big mistake). Meal: Nashville-Style hot chicken Which comes with a: Spicy & smoked fried chicken thigh, tangy sauce, shredded lettuce, and a pickle. I made it a combo an added fresh fruit (which was the best part of this meal) and ice tea. The presentation was worthy of an acadmy award I must admit, however my tastebuds were disappointed big time! The fried chicken skin was way to greasy and soaked in lard. I did not find the texture or the spices appealing. The juices from the chicken skin, sauce, and the pickle soaked the waffle making it a soggy mess. It really grossed me out and seriously, I would not recommend this to no one. Me and my friend got an upset stomach from the grease. Side dish: I got a fruit cup an it was amazing! It had strawberries, Raspberry's, and banna in it. A great combination of fruit (That help kill the nasty after taste of the chicken spices). Ambiance: It's cool indoor an outdoor seating what's not to like. And you can bring your pet and tie it up while you eat. They have complimentary doggie treats and water to give your Snoopy, an I thought that was awesome. The treats are in clear plastic jars on the counter. The way they cater to pets is the reason I'm not giving them 1 star. Conclusion: I'm sure their other selections are much better (They need to get rid of the nasty Nashville-style chicken thigh) but first impressions are everything (and they blew it with me). I wish I could've had a better experience to talk about but I didn't (sad face) would I recommend this place sure I'm not a jerk (just don't buy the Nashville). A light waffle is a horrible ideal for soaked filled grease pit of lard! Thank God for merely sweets across the street, because that's where I went after. read more

The location of this store is really hard to miss! Its right in the middle of Downtown Brea on Birch. The food here is super quick and on the go especially if you want to go with something thats more familiar and comforting which are exactly what they're known for. Their chicken. And their waffles! I have had their Original chicken and waffle sandwich and I found myself eating them separately rather than one cohesive sandwich. This time, I opted for the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Cobb Salad. It was topped with their fried chicken strips, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, bacon, and egg. I thought the salad was kind of like a slightly above average fast food salad. They do give a big portion size, but I was full a little over halfway finished with it. I did order a side of waffle fries but they were kind of bland and not as crispy as I preferred. I've had the irish nachos here before and I think I'd prefer to order those next time over the plain waffle cut fries! read more

Honey brought me here for Brunch!! Yummy This place is known for its Chicken and Waffle combo, but the Waffles can stand on there own as a Leading Role Nice light crunch on the outside, with a beautiful light fluffy soft inside. Has a nice cinnamon sugar powder you can add too! This place is completely indulgent! Definitely for those who love their "sweet and savory" taste combined read more

I've been to Bruxie before for their waffle sandwiches but have never had their custard until this past weekend. That stuff is tasty! Love that it's not overly sweet and the texture is super smooth and creamy. A perfect little sweet pick me up! My friend ordered a root beer on the side and made it into a root beer float with the custard and it looked bomb. I also got the Roasted Turkey sandwich to go and that was thoroughly impressed that it was still quite delicious a couple hours later. Though the waffle lost its crispiness (due to sitting in the box in the car), it was still chewy through the middle and was not soggy at all. There was also the perfect ratio of sandwich ingredients in every single bite. Delicious! read more

Bruxie - Roasted Turkey Club sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brea, California

Had lunch here on a Friday around noon and wasn't too impressed. We had the Nashville Hot and the Southern BBQ waffle sandwiches. It wasn't too crowded. Open seating. My mom ordered her food after mine and hers came out first. Which normally wouldn't bother me but I waited way too long for my order which only consisted of a kids meal and a sandwich. A good 10-15 minute wait after her food arrived. The flavor of the sandwiches was pretty good but the chicken itself was a little weird. It was cooked but too juicy, tender for me to be a great chicken sandwich. It looked like half of a breast fillet and half of a thigh fillet. Comparable to a chicken and dumpling dish. I was looking for a firm chicken fillet that would hold up inside a sandwich and this practically fell apart. The waffle was cold to the touch also. The kids chicken tenders were great though! Next time, I would probably order chicken tenders with waffles on the side for that whole experience. Maybe it was an off day, and I'd like to try again but this experience did not impress. read more

I came to this location for the first time a couple years back and I recently visited again. As much as I love waffles, I don't know why, but I just don't enjoy waffles as sandwich buns. The items on the menu are really good, but just not my style. However, although this place was a bit hype, the flavor is all there. Their service is really good as well. Friendly and will most definitely not mind giving suggestions. It's also located on Birch right between the two Edwards theaters, so it's really hard to miss. Such a great location with more than plenty of parking. I hope they continue to do well. read more

What a unique place to eat! Bruxie's fried chicken and waffles are amazing and this place is located right in Downtown Brea, which is a really nice area. Bruxie is good for both lunch and breakfast, and you won't be disappointed with anything you order on the menu. Keep in mind it can get really busy especially on the weekends so make sure you come at the right time if you don't want to have to wait. Btw the service is great and they'll try to help you find a seat when it's busy. The last time I went here I went for breakfast and I ordered the Country Sausage & Egg breakfast waffle. First of all, the waffle was so crispy and it tasted amazing with the little bit of maple syrup on it that I could taste. It was just the right amount of syrup and the whole waffle was cooked perfectly. Besides this, the sausage and eggs that were sandwiched in the perfect waffle were so flavorful and the combination of waffles, sausage, and eggs was delicious. For the best waffle sandwiches for lunch and breakfast, I will continue to support this place! read more

My favourite place to get a quick meal before going to the theater! The food comes quickly though the tables don't get wiped in time. The waffle is really good - very very crunchy, but not to the extend that the waffle is dry. There is still a good layer of bread-like soft texture. The chicken is also pretty good, though sometimes can get a little overly salty on a bad day. Even the other items on the menu, such as the salad and the "burger" are all really good. The items in the salad are diverse and packed. read more

It's pretty good. Wouldn't go out of my way but if I'm close I'll grab the original or hot

You know you went to a great restaurant when it has been quite a while and you still dream about it. I went to Cali celebrating my graduation and my cousin took me.on a quest of finding the best burger. Turns out, the best "burger" I had was not a traditional burger but Bruxie!!!! Everything made sense in that sandwich. The Bruxie burger was my favorite meal of my 17 day trip!!!!!!! Just remembered the name ... California BBQ read more

2pm on a Saturday afternoon, so the lunch crowd was done. Lots of outside seating and a few inside as well. BTW, lots of free parking in the structure behind the movie theater. Staff was friendly and the guy taking our order was very helpful in explaining the menu. He even explained that since it's our first time there. If what we ordered was not to our liking, just send it back and pick something else. I liked that they give you a knife to cut your meal in two. That way, my wife and I could swap our other piece with each other and try other flavor's. Buffalo Blue $8.50 - Buffalo Sauce, Slaw, Blue Cheese Crumbles, Chives, Ranch Dressing Backyard BBQ Chicken $9.95 - BBQ Sauce, slaw, crispy onion strings (Promo Sandwich till 3/7, I think.) Both sandwiches were off the charts. Very tasty and worth the price! Waffle Sundae $6.95 - Liege Waffle, Frozen Custard, Belgian Chocolate, Caramel, Roasted Peanuts, Fresh Whipped Cream, Chocolate Shavings WOW!!! Thing was huge enough to share with at least 4 people...but there was only 2 of us. So, we pigged out! =p Overall, a VERY satisfying meal! read more

I like the original Bruxie @ Orange better than this location. Ordered smoked salmon and hot pastrami bruxie. Smoked salmon ($7.95): it was good but my waffle was cold. Was it supposed to be cold? Hot pastrami bruxie ($7.95): super salty pastrami and the juice was all over the place. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=VeFjZrg69n_IQ21bYsVYuw&userid=W7DHyQlY_kXls2iXt-_2Ag What I like @ this location: - Indoor tables and plenty of them. Al fresco dining is also available. - Some tables have purse hooks...always a plus. - Friendly service and they clean your table right away. - Clean restroom. What I dont like @ this location: - Cold waffles. - I was still eating but the worker was eager to clean my table. Finally I said fine and he also took my credit card receipt =( 3.5 stars!! Bruxie @ Brea is kinda yummylicious!! read more

Our tummies were cruisin' for a bruisin' as we headed down to Bruxie to try those fried chicken waffle tacos! 'Bout sums up the reason why we came here for the first time. Bruxie is described as "street food" that is perfect for any time of day. While this wasn't the original spot, we opted to try this one because we wanted to sit down and eat in a somewhat relaxed atmosphere, rather than stand around and experience the original stand (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cg4IKG5V4_DCaNLGAPJXNw?select=QFVdsIuFX2zc2LQm3dPUIw#QFVdsIuFX2zc2LQm3dPUIw). Savory waffles tried: - Buttermilk Fired Chicken & Waffle [6.95]. These don't stand up to Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles, but given it's a "taco," not too bad. The chicken is a thin piece of white chicken breast that is crisply fried and covered with chili honey and sandwiched taco-style with cider coleslaw filling. Due to the thinness, it was a bit dry but still a hyped-up winner in my mind (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cg4IKG5V4_DCaNLGAPJXNw?select=KEGCoWsmo6JQjuxGE3w6cQ#KEGCoWsmo6JQjuxGE3w6cQ). - Green Eggs & Ham [6.95]. I had to do the Sam-I-Am routine when ordering this one. Would you - could you - in a car? Would you eat them with a goat? Only if served with grilled ham, Tillamook cheddar, fried egg, and arugula pesto! (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cg4IKG5V4_DCaNLGAPJXNw?select=KEGCoWsmo6JQjuxGE3w6cQ#MfM3I_oUjggKTCctDOLQ-g) - Hot Pastrami Bruxie [7.95]. The combination Boar's Head pastrami with a slice of Gruyere, cider slaw, mustard, and half-sour pickles was tasty, but just left me wanting more as it just wasn't enough (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cg4IKG5V4_DCaNLGAPJXNw?select=KEGCoWsmo6JQjuxGE3w6cQ#WZAeMxq8jie9y57V6Fn8WQ). - Smoked Salmon & Dill Cream Cheese [7.95]. This was a pretty smooth-tasting blend of smoked salmon with herb-ed cream cheese, sliced cucumbers and chives (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cg4IKG5V4_DCaNLGAPJXNw?select=KEGCoWsmo6JQjuxGE3w6cQ#Gwro4gcjwwbmbbh2igbf2Q). Sweet waffles: - Crème Brulèe [6.50]. A great finisher to the range of savory surf and turf waffles we ordered. Given this was a sandwiched presentation, I understand the less than adequate filling, but would have preferred more crème fillig (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cg4IKG5V4_DCaNLGAPJXNw?select=KEGCoWsmo6JQjuxGE3w6cQ#1mJySV-1n_uD-QSVZCN_dw). We added the waffle cut fries which brought the price down to [2.50] from its original 2.95 price, but probably should have gone with the Irish Nachos which comes with applewood bacon, sour cream and chives. Next time we'll have to roll Carlos Murphy style. One thing that I was impressed with was this little area known as Brea Downtown. I had no idea how hip and happening this area was, and have to say there is some hotness here! The servers at Bruxie were friendly and more than willing to help out in suggesting their favorites. I really like the concept of making the waffle a street food and adopting the taco-style serving presentation, and for that I'm a fan. To me, this kind of food is best as a late night snack, and would still prefer a sit-down restaurant when I want to fill up on Chicken & Waffles. While nothing can top Roscoe's, I can say that Bruxie has my favorite Chick'aWaf street taco! read more
