    Chicken salad
    Jami S.

    Beautiful, delicious and fresh tasting! Kids Mac n cheese and waffle fries were also a hit! Great service.

    Dessert menu

    I love this place. My favorite Item is definitely the honey hot habanero chicken it is delicious

    NUTELLA & BANANA or STRAWBERRIES
    Diana L.

    Very bland food. Small portions not worth the price point. The box that it comes in is cute though. The Nutella and banana waffle had a decent amount of Nutella but felt that it was gone in two bites. The breakfast burrito had a decent amount of eggs and liquid cheese. The crispy chicken added gave it some flavor but kept reaching for the salsa to add something. This food isn't quality and it reminds of food you eat after drinking back in the college days.

    KICKIN' "NASHVILLE" HOT SANDWICH on waffles
    Chris D.

    Why a 4 stars? Give me a little bit.. Let me explain.. I ordered the kickin Nashville chicken sandwich With the waffles instead of the bun Presentation wise.. It looked like a door dasher dropped it off literally But I went to the restaurant and bought it The quality of the chicken was excellent Cooked perfectly in texture and moisture Flavor wise, there was absolutely nothing spicy Maybe my order got mixed up? The flavor was okay The waffle was standard The overall flavor of the waffles with the chicken was definitely better than a bun A first time experiencing such a thing But nothing screamed at me To say Go back again for this sandwich I'm open to trying a barbecue flavored sandwich I want to see what the difference is I also want to try their custard shake They have different flavors to choose Bruxi is new to Santa Barbara But also new to me With me just coming back to Santa Barbara It's nice to have a different food alternative I noticed they are extremely popular With teens. This location gets really packed During different times of the day The customer service is good My order was taken promptly And employees seem happy To help everyone walking through the doors They have outdoor seating Seating inside as well Conveniently located in Paseo Nuevo So plenty of parking For a short walk to bruxi I imagine when school is out They are gonna get even more busy A lot of people recommended this place to me I haven't met a person That tasted their food And didn't enjoy it A big pricey But worth a shot See you soon

    I couldn't wait to try this place out once I heard it was in town. Heading out town for the evening and knowing I wasn't going to be back home before dinner, I figured yesterday would be the perfect opportunity to give it a shot. I mean who doesn't like fried chicken right! It wasn't hard to find the place because I use to have an office in the balboa bldg right next door and ate at Pizza Rev many times...it was in the location where bruxie is now. The service was great. The young lady that helped me out was very polite. The restaurant itself was pretty basic for a fast food eatery. It was clean though. Could've been worse obviously. Let's get down to the nitty gritty-- the food ! If you go wrong with fries and fried chicken-- well in my opinion you should probably not be in business. NOT THE CASE here--- both were very flavorful. The waffle was unfortunately a bit bland and basic, the Cole slaw most definitely needs something and the syrup that came with my order was "ehhh" Some basic maple syrup from Vermont could've been better. Overall I would definitely recommend giving it a try and make your own decision on how you feel about it. Would I be going back anytime REAL soon. Naw! But I will say that I will visit again if someone were to say they haven't been---I would go back with them !!

    Hey my fellow Elite Yelpers I hope you're doing well and enjoying the latest warm weather! I heard about Bruxie chicken through a media release. Located in the middle of the Paseo Nuevo mall. I placed my order early, and they open at 1030am! Shortly after placing my order, the place began to get busy. The staff was organized, and the service was great. I sat at the bar, which was nice. The restaurant was well laid out, comfortable. I've been looking for a Great fried chicken spot and Bruxie fits the bill! Thanks Bruxie I will be Back. Ronnie S

    SPICED TOTS

    Food was pretty good, chicken was definitely the star of the show. Waffle and egg were pretty good as well. Personally to me It was really good but I felt like I was eating so many calories! lol I would come here again, maybe try something different. Workers were nice and the inside and outside was clean. I would rate this place a 3.5 if I could.

    Delicious Honey Hot!
    Tim Y.

    Had a great chicken sandwich here while my wife was shopping. Sat on the outside patio on a beautiful day watching people walk by in the mall. Chicken and waffles is their thing, but got the honey hot on a brioche bun. It was delicious! Perfect crispy chicken on the outside but moist on the inside. Excellent combination of sweet and savory and spicy with great coleslaw and pickles. $14 a sandwich, but that seems to be the going price nowadays. I would definitely come back for another.

    Menu - you can order a meal which includes sides, and a drink
    Cara A.

    There isn't a mouth on earth that would be able to open wide enough to eat a Bruxie's sandwich. Bruxie's is relatively new - it opened within the past month or so at Paseo Nuevo Mall. They are always pumping out chicken scents for visitors who walk by to try to lure in customers and sure enough, I'm always feeling very hungry and craving chicken and waffles when I'm passing by. So one day, I caved and ordered. You have to order at the counter and they ask for tips, even if you order to go, with the minimum of 18% unless you fumble around and take longer to check out. I ordered the spicy Tennessee Chicken Waffle sandwich and I couldn't recognize myself while ordering this kind of food. Who and what have I become? The menu is just so crazy and weird. And I think that's why they're so popular. When I finally opened the box, there was an overwhelmingly huge sandwich staring back at me. But the chicken itself is thin and the fried batter surrounding the chicken is about an inch thick. The flavor that you order is all in the batter. The food is incredibly salty. In fact, I couldn't taste the heat because I was too distracted with how salty it was. Everything is just so thick that you can't just pick it up and eat it like a sandwich. So I had no idea how I was going to eat this thing with no utensils. I ended up scraping everything off with my fingers, revealing a very thin piece of chicken in the center. This place basically serves all fried food. The waffle was light and airy. But after one bite, my stomach started cramping. I could only take a bite of the waffle because the waffle was making me even more sick. I think this will be my last time I'll ever visit, but it was fun to experiment and support a new restaurant. This is a level up of creativity beyond KFC, but it kind of is like KFC in the end - minus the creamed potato's and corn. Total cost for Bruxie's experiment: $14.50 for a sandwich with no sides. Possibly the worst $14.50 I've spent in a very long time. But, it's a bargain if you count it as novelty and entertainment.

    I went for breakfast and tried the Holy Chicken with a side of syrup. I ate the entire thing! There are so many items on the menu that I want to try. I definetly need to come back mutiple times. The salad sounds good, waffle fries, the dessert waffles look good, the cold brew coffee sounds interesting.

    Loaded Waffle Fries
    Raz M.

    Fantastic service!!! We were treated the way you would want to be at any restaurant. All of the employees paid attention to us from the time we entered, ordering, checking in on us during our meal and made a specially crafted shake for our daughter. Additionally, the food as very good. I had the Fried Chicken + Waffle Sandwich (original). My husband had the Jumbo Chicken Tenders and Waffle Fries, we shared the Loadable Waffle Fries, and our daughter had the kids Nuggets & Fries.

    Love this place so much, I consider driving up here from LA for more of the best quiche I ever had…read more So many perfectly sweet desserts to choose from. Everything is high quality and fresh for reasonable prices. Charming, cozy decor with Danish accents. Service is also excellent and warm. Quiche with Hollandaise Sauce - Light, buttery flaky crust, light, fluffy eggs. Absolutely delightful, leeks provided good texture. Came with a strip of bacon. Was so amazing hardly ate the sauce. Don't think you can sub salad for fries but no worries, as the breakfast potatoes were amazing. Many places offer breakfast potatoes but something seemingly simple is actually hard to make well. My friend's Bratwurst Sausage with Eggs, her favorite, was hearty and filling. A lot of indoor seating but we enjoyed our table outside, watching pedestrians on State St. and enjoying the beautiful scenery and architecture. We expected to wait to be seated but surprisingly it wasn't that busy. Order at counter and the food is brought to your table. As we waited, employee kindly gave us two free pastry samples, both delicious. All the baked goods I got to go I want again. Their scones are fabulous-slightly crunchy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. Their tea service which comes with champagne is pricey, I believe $75 per person. But interior is a perfect colorful and relaxed setting for tea. My tastebuds dream of coming back. Will be thrilled when I next indulge on their pastries and quiche.

    SCORE 0 HEALTH HAZARD 10…read more This is our third time we've had issues with the staff. Today is our last time going here. There was only one person in line and 4 staff members behind the counter standing around talking to each other. Nobody greeted us or asked for our bakery order. When I said excuse me to a dirty blond girl she replied "WHAT!" and continued to joke with a co worker. When the cashier finished with their customer they walked away and even though they saw we were waiting to be helped. I looked around and saw nobody helping seated customers or us at the bakery counter. Finally, the dirty blonde ask what we need and my response was "WHAT" ?! At this point we should have left and gone to Lilac Patisserie however we proceeded to give her our order. I told another customer behind us that rudeness seems to be the norm, and she agreed. I paid for our bakery items and asked an older woman scrolling on her phone if we could have a bag for all of our boxed treats. She grabbed a handful of bags and threw them at me from across the counter. We were appalled and left. We found a place to sit on State street to eat our treats and my daughter said she didn't want her Meringue because the dirty blonde girl used the back of her ungloved hand to repeatedly wipe her nose. We threw all $50 worth of baked goods in the trash. Yes, I should have gone back and complained I'm had everything refunded but it was Mother's Day and we didn't want anything more to do with this establishment. It was also an epiphany that they don't treat everyone this way. It could be you next time. Please go somewhere else. We will never go to anywhere but Lilac Patisserie which is to the left as you exit Andersons, past the stop light. You will definitely get your money's worth and the staff is friendly, professional, and greet you immediately as you reach the counter.

We ordered the Q steak quesadilla, which was colder than my ex's heart, but we were hungry, so we just went for it. We also got some pancakes with eggs and ham, and the ham was so mediocre, it tasted like it had been living in the fridge since the dawn of time. The service was friendly and quick, which was a blessing because if I had to wait any longer, I might have started gnawing on the table. I wouldn't wait over 30 minutes to eat there. It's definitely not worth the wait, unless you're really, really hungry and have nothing better to do than stare at the menu.

You can get new tires next door, but while you're waiting, you can catch breakfast or lunch. Outdoors, there's a lot of seating. Wooden tables and wicker chairs. Awnings and large umbrella coverings. You pay first, and then they seat you. There's some seating indoors, but it's limited, compared to outdoors. I ordered a latte ($5.50) and avocado toast ($16). They add a 3% surcharge if you use a credit card. There is a window for to-go orders, but if you're dining in, you place your order with the gal at the podium. I have to say, although there were two staff working on drinks, my latte took a while. Luckily, it came before the food. There was a staff member waiting at the counter and delivering just drinks. Once I got my latte, it tasted good. Strong. I felt the caffeine. The avocado toast was good, too. It was served in a shallow metal dish. Thick, high quality, Artisan bread. I enjoyed the toasted pumpkin seeds. I would definitely order it again, but open to ordering something else on the menu next time. Staff are friendly, welcoming, and efficient. There was another gentleman standing in the back, immediately clearing tables. It's better if you come earlier on the weekends. There was a line of people when I was leaving. There's plenty of free street parking. I parked across the street.
