    For the once proud Promenade - this place is a pretty good option. My only complaint is that the seating sucks The food is solid. I have a hella high spice tolerance and I could feel some heat from the Habenero chicken sandwich so that was a win. The portion sizes are decent, food is fresh and the staff was friendly. I'd come back here no doubt.

    BREAKFAST BURRITO CHICKEN & WAFFLE
    Jiliza N.

    I got the chicken waffle sandwich & it was everything I hoped for. Crispy + juicy chicken with just the right amount of spice! Sndwiched between perfectly toasted waffles. The syrup brought it all together in that sweet + savory way that's just so good! My friend got the breakfast burrito, which was super filling & packed with delicious flavors, also a great choice! It's an order-at-the-counter & find-your-own-seat type of place. Seating is mostly outdoor patio-style... casual, open seating with a laid-back vibe. The spot is tucked into a cute shopping center that's just a short walk from the beach, but parking can be tricky. No validation here.. street parking is competitive. We found a nearby parking structure and paid just $2 though, so it worked out!

    Seriously the best fried chicken nuggets I've ever eaten
    Buck W.

    My first visit. Impulse visit. Starving and it was there. I had the buttermilk fried chicken salad. It had avocado and sliced eggs and a creamy delicious dressing. The guy was super nice. The place wasn't packed which suited me just fine. Quite frankly, the fried chicken nuggets were the best fried chicken I've ever eaten. Seriously. I took a catering menu because I can imagine a bucket or tray of these with a row of dipping sauces. Great place.

    Chicken fingers

    We were recently at the pier and the kids were getting hungry. The lines were too long and the kids aren't seafood fans. So we headed over to 3rd street in search of some different options. We passed by this place and it looked inviting. So we gave it a try. Inside is a decent amount of seating. Even during the dinner rush we were able to find a table. It was pretty clean considering its location and the amount of foot traffic. The staff shined. Very helpful and willing to explain to options to us. The kids kept changing their minds about the sauces and the staff was patient through that process. As to the food, the chicken was moist and juicy. The flavor on the chicken fingers is a bit different than your typical Canes or chicken finger joint. It has a more herbs and spices. The adults enjoyed the flavor but it was a bit strong for the kids. The kids chicken nugget meal though was fantastic. The waffle fries stole the show. Crispy, hot and delicious. And a great value. We bought each of the kids a meal, but they easily could have split one. If you're in the area and want some great tasting chicken, definitely give it a try!

    Holy chicken!
    Amy L.

    I loved it at bruxie. The waffles are so crispy and even have a nice crunch. I got the holy chicken! and the chicken and waffles!! Both 5/5 the holy chicken! Is so good with the wafffles as part of the "sandwitch/taco" It's open seating and you order at the counter. You can also get it to go. The special maple syrup is really tasty! Service was quick and you can self serve water. I would deff go back! Good vibes

    THE ORIGINAL

    Questionable customer service.. We came home after ordering a super Kluss and grilled chicken ranch sandwich and we came home and the super clucks did not have our bacon and egg. Our server was Natalie and we called the store to speak with her who we were able to speak with a manager by the name of Alex. He said we would be refunded and it never came. I never try to fault servers for mistakes and we should have double checked our order before leaving, but mistakes happen on both ends! I think what made this a bitter experience was that they said they were going to fix the mistake and did not customer service is a huge attribute that makes people come again The ambiance was not busy at the time we came & the location was clean. This is not my first time coming here, so I know that this may have been a one time thing, so I will may try & visit again

    April 2025 menu

    Their menu needs to be a little larger for us with bad eyesight, haha! Had to take a photo of the menu to see what item I wanted to order. After getting rained out near the beach, friends and I decided to walk towards Third Street and get some brunch. Not too many places were open at 10 am on Saturday, but thankfully Bruxie was. We ordered at the register and grabbed a seat while waiting for our food. We all ended up ordering the Super Cluck ($16) because who can say no to a waffle, fried chicken, and fried egg? If you're not super hungry, best to split with a friend so you are not food comatose afterwards. I was hungry and ate it all, though I did feel so full afterwards and appreciated the walk back to my car.

    "GRILLED CHEESE" WAFFLE SANDWICH with sausage
    KayAnna S.

    While everything on their menu looks amazing (and tastes great too), I hands down recommend their breakfast burrito. Get every sauce too, they are all so good. My husband had his grilled cheese waffle sandwich and he loved it, but as soon as he took a bite of my burrito, he knew the truth. Immediately he went to go order a burrito for himself. Bruxie knows what they are doing for sure.

    Super Cluck and Waffle Fries

    [ Food ] We ordered the Super Cluck and Waffle Fries; the sandwich was pretty good and the fries were standard. [ Service ] Customer service is good and the food came out pretty quick. [ Parking ] We parked at the Santa Monica Place parking lot, which is free for the first 90 minutes. [ Restroom ] There is a restroom.

    I think the food is good, and I enjoyed my chicken waffle sandwich that also came with an egg. All the ingredients went well together. But it became hard to enjoy the meal when we kept having to deal with homeless individuals coming in and just thrashing the place. They don't even just sit; they literally just trash the place or get into arguments with the staff. Made enjoying my meal very hard. One homeless lady came in and just sat down and tried to put her cans into a bag she asked the front desk for. Turned out those cans were stolen from the store next door. We know this because the manager from next door came and confronted her in the restaurant. The lady responded by slapping the manager, all this while next to us. Staff did nothing but watch, and it was just all uncomfortable all around. I can't say these are the kind of shows I enjoy with my lunch. -_- On the plus side, the strawberry shake is good! And my kids did enjoy the tenders. Pro tip: ask for the spicy honey sauce for your sandwich! Bomb! Won't be back to this location though.

    NUTELLA & BANANA or STRAWBERRIES
    Ronald M.

    My kids love coming here with their friends and they always rave about how good it is. I finally came with my kids and they were not lying about how amazing this place is! I got the original and it was sweet and juicy! I also tried the Mac and cheese and a piece of the waffle and Nutella with strawberries. Everything was amazing and I can't wait to come back. The cashier was also very friendly.

    Yes!!

    The menu appears to have gluten-free options available, does anyone know if the fried chicken and waffles can be made gluten free?

    If you're anywhere near Santa Monica and craving something that hits you with bold flavor,…read morelaid-back vibes, and a little tropical escape on a plate--Cha Cha Chicken is absolutely the spot. This place isn't just a meal; it's a whole experience. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a cheerful, colorful energy that instantly puts you in a good mood. The vibe is casual, funky, and full of personality--think beach shack meets Caribbean street food with a California twist. Now let's talk about the star of the show: the Coconut Fried Chicken. Honestly, this dish alone is worth the trip. The first bite is pure magic--Crispy coconut-battered golden-brown crust with juicy chicken inside served with sweet mango and jerk dipping sauce. It's crunchy and flavorful without being overwhelming. The coconut adds this unexpected tropical note that elevates it far beyond your typical fried chicken. Pair it with their sides (the dirty rice and potatos are a must), and you've got a plate that's comforting, exciting, and totally unforgettable. What makes Cha Cha Chicken stand out is how consistently it delivers on flavor while keeping things relaxed. The portions are generous, the spices are on point, and everything tastes like it was made with care--and a little bit of island-inspired love. It's the kind of food you find yourself craving again way too soon. Whether you're a local or just passing through Santa Monica, Cha Cha Chicken is a must-visit. It's fun, it's flavorful, and that Coconut Fried Chicken? Straight-up legendary. Only Downside - Pricey!

    I would say this is one of my favorite breakfast options in Santa Monica and in West LA in general…read more They have some really unique menu items and the inside has a really great atmosphere along with great service. We were lucky enough to find a metered street spot directly in front of the restaurant and did not have to wait long at all for our Saturday morning brunch for a table of two. Our server was also very polite and everything that we ordered came out very fast. I started off with the Iced Maple Latte and thought it was really nice. It was a really sweet treat and I enjoyed it. For my breakfast, I chose the Eggs Benedict with the Sujuk sausage and added avocado and croissant. It was one of the best combos I've had in a long time and I am already eager to go back again to get it. I would highly recommend to everyone and would happily say this is one of my favorite breakfast options around.

We agreed to outside patio seating at tall seats which is more than fine. but we were sat at a shared table with a family which is fine when you have context that you are doing so, but i spent the beginning of the morning listening to two different children play of their phones blasting the sound. additionally both the seats we were in were directly in the sun which for me is fine but my bf burns very easily. but okay fine, it is what it is. We politely waited until the table next to us emptied, and then told the waitress we would like to move because the sun. She said we would need to wait and she would need to check. And then came back and told us they were too busy. We watched the seat we wanted to sit in be empty until we asked for boxes for our food. We watched another table stay empty until we left. The waitress never introduced herself either. Additionally, no one checked up on us during the entire meal. Usually any sit down restaurant would ask how your meal is. No one did. we weren't even given silverware when our meals arrived. we had to go get them ourselves. We had to ask for boxes after sitting and waiting for anyone to check in. We separately had to call out to the oblivious waitress to even pay, as she was standing out there just looking around. The food was great, like i wish we would have had cash to tip the cooks themselves bc the food was really good. But Ive attached photos of the food (great!) and photos of the many empty tables that made them sooo busy they cldnt accommodate the paying costumers that already ordered. my boyfriend and I have both worked in the service industry before. But i would just say that they had horrible service which can ruin a perfectly good meal. I hope if the owner is the one I met at the door, he considers getting new waitresses .
