Bruxie - Chicken Shop Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

My friends and I were visiting Santa Barbara for a few days and were trying to grab a quick breakfast/lunch before a flight. Luckily, Bruxie was open pretty early, so we stopped by. I ordered The Original Fried Chicken and Waffle sandwich since the waiter had recommended that was one of their most popular items and made it into a combo (side of tater tots and a soda). My friends ordered the fried chicken salad and the brioche breakfast sandwich. I thought the restaurant concept was cool and uniquely centered around anything fried chicken/waffles and thought it was fun the way the waffle sandwich was presented like a taco. That being said, I initially tried to eat it like a taco but everything quickly fell apart as the waffle wasn't connected at the bottom, so resorted to just eating it like a classic chicken and waffles dish with a fork and knife. I liked the coleslaw, the crispy/lightness of the waffle, and although the food initially looked like it'd be really heavy it surprisingly wasn't and I finished the sandwich pretty quickly. I think my main issue is that there could've been more flavor/moisture to the sandwich, particularly the chicken itself. I did really like the tater tots - they were perfectly crispy, lightly seasoned, and addicting, so it was the highlight of the meal. I also tried my sister's brioche breakfast sandwich and felt that there was nothing really special to it and found it to be lacking a bit in flavor / dry. Overall, I thought the sandwich/fried chicken could've been more juicy and flavorful e.g., by adding some sauce/marinade to the sandwiches/chicken and avoiding overcooking/frying the chicken. read more

Bruxie - Dessert menu - Chicken Shop Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

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. read more

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 read more

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 !! read more

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 read more

I had to make a Yelp account to let everyone know this. Yesterday I came in the morning with my girlfriend. This one girl with glasses came up to us and was so helpful in explaining to us to understand the menu and pick out what we got. The food was amazing a bit expensive but it's Santa Barbara. I definitely recommend coming here with your family trying the food and going shopping around the mall. read more

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. read more

Bruxie chicken sandwich is the best in town. Honey hot chicken with ranch. Their ranch is fantastic!!!

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. read more

Bruxie - Delicious Honey Hot! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Totally Surprised! Was craving something different for dinner.. but wasn't sure what it was. Then I stumbled upon the Bruxie menu and saw "chicken and waffles".. "that's it" "that's what I want!" The delivery containers were pretty nice compared to most. But the true winner was the chicken and waffles! Great seasoned chicken strips that were perfect for dipping in the warm syrup, melted butter and fluffy waffles! So good! Would definitely order again.. maybe soon. read more

I really wanted to give it a 3.5 only because it was so dirty in there but the food was pretty good. Chicken was good flavor. Waffles were OK but I wish they came out hot instead of cold because the butter did not melt and they would've overall tasted way better But I might be back. I might not that's how I feel about this place. read more

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. read more

Honestly I thought the food was pretty mid, and for the price, you can find way better food downtown Santa Barbara, that's better in quality for the same price. That being said it was pretty pricey. The waffle tasted super doughy and almost undercooked which was gross to me. The house made ranch was disgusting, they managed to mess up ranch, please just switch to buying good ranch or come up with a better recipe, it was the grossest ranch I've ever had. The chicken itself was ok, canes is better honesty. The Mac and cheese tasted dusty. The fries tasted old and cheap quality, probably frozen. Again not the best but not the worst, I wouldn't recommend. There's so many yummy places in Santa Barbara, I wouldn't waste my time or money here again read more

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. read more

So keeping in mind it's not fully open it could honestly use a little bit of work. Cold brew was strong really good chicken itself was fantastic but the skin itself had a tiny kick in it which I wasn't expecting since there's nothing about it in the menu the waffle wasn't warm at all also the syrup they give you come in a fancy bottle. I personally need two bottles of this cuz it's good haha and they were really nice service over all checkin in constantly also relatively quiet while I was in there. If I could I would give it a 3.5 but because of the circumstances I bumped it up to 4. I'll be back in a couple months when they've settled and check back in again. read more

I was in Santa Barbara with my boyfriend over Memorial Day weekend. We stumbled upon Bruxie while we were walking around. My boyfriend said that he had been to another location before and that it was really good. We decided to share a fried chicken and waffle sandwich, it was super messy but extremely delicious! I highly recommend adding extra packets of honey, I love the sweet and savory mix! Hopefully they add another store in the SF Bay Area. read more

Food is mid. Pictures look better than the actual food. It's not bad but there's so many places with better food in town I probably won't be a regular here. Ordering procedure is a little odd. Order at the counter but there isn't a "register" that you line up for or anything it's a little hard to immediately tell when you walk in where exactly to go to order if there's no line. Lots of branding on the walls- trying to hype up their food- to little avail. read more

I think the chicken comes frozen fries and coleslaw were bomb. Ice cream machine was broken.

Bruxie is a new innovative breakfast/brunch spot that provides a unique twist on the contemporary chicken and waffle dish. Everything looks great, fantastic fry on the chicken, beautifully crusted waffle, crispy waffle fries, and creamy mac & cheese. And I must say, it tasted quite good! For the few first bites at least. After the initial hunger went away we realized that the meal was quite heavy! And yes I know, it's fried chicken and waffles it's supposed to be heavy. I agree! I've had fried chicken and waffles countless times. But this had to be one of the greasiest I've had. It seems like the grease and salt were covered up by the amount of maple syrup and honey that was drenched. Both my friend and I felt a little sick after eating here, we couldn't finish the meal. I like the idea though! I think it's a great combination of flavors, but it seems like they need to work on the sauce ratios a bit more; as well as the chicken batter ratios. Perhaps some acidity added to the coleslaw would help cut the fat as well! The place itself is quite average and resembles a typical fast-food restaurant, nothing special. As for service, we had a small issue with our order where they overcharged me for what I ordered. They were kind enough to fix it and send in a partial refund for it, but it never arrived, and I made the mistake of tossing the receipt so I won't likely be getting that back. Overall, I can't say that I'd come back but am hopeful to see them do well, and continuously improve their menu items! read more

My mom brought leftovers from this place and it was absolutely delicious. The fried chicken was flavorful and crunchy without being overly smothered in crust. The way the waffle was buttery and crunchy gave me indulging satisfaction. The tater tots still held their crunch and weren't soft or soggy I don't understand these reviews nitpicking little things like an OCD person would reviewing a Michelin star restaurant go touch some grass. This is a persons business, walk up to counter and give a suggestion for simple things that weren't intentional . The lack of awareness to what bad reviews can do for something so minuscule that can effect a persons livelihood is cringe To the girl who got sick, maybe go check to see if you're pre-diabetic or have underlying health issues because I felt great after I ate. Maybe try not eating the whole thing since it is "rich" in butter. This place is likely filled with teens because they can afford to eat like this more often than those of us who watch what we eat- this is definitely a special occasion place for me and it's 5 stars for what it is. I was satisfied with the scraps my mom brought over. Even for leftover scraps I felt inclined to leave a review. This is from someone who eats very healthy and hardly gets to eat fried food. So maybe that's why I'm a little too excited about the food I ate. read more

Totally forgot to write a review for this place. We were on a road trip to San Francisco and our first stop was Solvang. On the way there, we stopped by Santa Barbara and discovered this specific Bruxie. I loved it. Awesome chicken tenders and their waffle fries were absolutely delicious. A family was running the place and it's safe to say I felt welcomed and safe eating here. We unfortunately live very far from Santa Barbara but I will happily try their location in El Segundo when I get the chance! read more

The waffle fries here are amazing. The ambiance here is very nice since it is in the large Paseo Nuevo corridor next to foot locker. I hope this place lasts so many places have not been able to make it at this location. The service was also pretty good here. read more

Had to dock 1/2 a star for their ranch- their other dipping sauces are great, and while the flavor is good the ranch is WAY watery which makes me sad. Thought it was maybe a fluke since it was opening week but nope. Chicken tenders and ranch is LIFE. Fix your ranch pleeeeeeease Bruxie read more

Hands down, best chicken sandwich in the area. The employees had great service. We were approached at the wall menu by 2 employees, who proceeded to greet us, explain the menu, and make suggestions. The Honey Hot Chicken Sandwich was everything that I hoped for! An oversized piece of fried chicken, tossed with spices, covered with sauce and coleslaw, and wedged between a tasty brioche bun. I loved the level of heat (not crazy hot if you like spice and ability to taste flavors) and the contrasting textures. I coupled the sandwich with loaded waffle-cut fries and a strawberry shake, both were very good. I will 100% go back again. I'm interested in trying some waffle options, angry Mac n cheese, and the custard (which I haven't seen since a trip to Texas). I'm stoked we finally have an amazing fried chicken restaurant in Santa Barbara! read more

The tenders were the BEST i have ever had, I 100% recommend getting chicken tenders here if you are in the mood for them! Also the mac and cheese is a perfect amount of cheese and noodles (the bacon is definitely a must!). It is a tiny bit spicy but nothing intolerable! It says tenders with fries but it was more like potato wedges (which I love a WHOLE lot more, it was a nice surprise!) Service was quick and nice! The place is also nicely organized and welcoming.
