I have been wanting to eat at The Braeburn for a while now and was excited to have the opportunity to check it out this past weekend. It is a popular spot, so expect to wait! Put your name on the list and then wander a bit, you can work up an appetite. We had a lovely meal. I had the northwest scramble, and it was full of tasty bites of salmon and mama lil's peppers. Husband had the Reuben and was unable to finish it as it was a fairly large portion. The staff is some of the sweetest I've experienced. They were kind and friendly throughout our experience, even though some patrons were less than nice about the wait times. Well worth the wait! read more

Really good brunch! Came here during our day trip to whidbey island. There was a 30 min wait so we passed time by walking around the cute area. Theres plenty to see so it didn't feel like a long wait. Husband got the breakfast burrito. He said it was really good, only con was that the salsa that came with it was like an ice slushy which would have preferred not cold. I got the salmon hash which I thought was one of the best hashes I've tried. The eggs and potatoes were seasoned and cooked perfectly and there was a lot of salmon - good ratio of everything. Only other con was that after we got seated we waited 30 mins to get our food. But service was really good and we could tell the cooks were busy with other tickets. Overall we really enjoyed our meal and would definitely come back if we're on Whidbey again! read more

Beautiful homey brunch location-- that is the only way I can describe it! It's located right next to the fire station that's been repurposed to a glass ornament store that you cannot miss as soon as you drive into Langley from the Clinton station. I saw signs that there is parking located nearby but we just parked on the street in the small shopping area. We ordered the fried chicken plate with roasted local greens and potatos as our side and a salmon skillet with biscuits and eggs on the side. The fried chicken on the plate was fairly thin with majority of it being batter. The greens tasted like the alcohol hadn't been fully cooked off yet. The biscuits were extremely buttery and not salty at all, a huge plus if you asked my party! However the salmon was sort of lacking in flavor as well. Our server was really nice and gave us 4 plates to share the orders amongst ourselves. There is a restroom outside near the outdoor patio seating and conveniently there is the access code right at the door to the patio. There are also "to go" containers near that exit as well. Overall I'd say this was a 4.5/5 for us! The ambiance, the service, and the food were satisfactory for the price. The orders did take a while to come out but that gives me ease of mind that it should be made on the spot and not frozen. read more

I had breakfast there yesterday and had the mash, hich was delicious. seemed a little high but that experience was 5 star..However, today I got clam chowder to go. Pic is what they call a bowl.Then, they have a carry out fee, meaning to dump soup in a container and hand it to you, they charge a fee so with tax and their fee this large cup (not a bowl)of chowder costs twelve dollars. Clams are not expensive. The good thing I will say is it was very tasty. But not worth $12 read more

Cute place in downtown Langley. Open for breaky and lunch only. Knowns for their fried chicken and should be. Just the right amount of seasoning and breading that actually stick to the chicken. Food took a bit but it was fresh and hot. I prefer it this way so that's a plus for me. Servers were well trained. There but not pushy. Efficient. Kind. Knew how to read the room kinda Lunch with wifey included 2 Sammie's and one coffee. Out the door with tax and tip for $60 read more

Very mixed feelings about our brunch. The food was mostly great. The service was not. Decaf coffee came cold. Asked them to make a new pot. Later, when we got refills, it was cold again. Cold coffee is just not good. A friend ordered coffee with Baileys. Unexpectedly, it came topped with whipped cream. While she wasn't expecting that, she thought it would be good on her waffle. When she ordered the waffle topped with strawberries she asked for whipped cream on it too. And she was told they couldn't do that. Additionally. The server came back to say the kitchen was out of strawberries so did she want something else? Without staying what her options were. It took a long time for the food to come, but the server never stopped by to see if we wanted more coffee or anything else while we waited. Two of our 4 meals came out, and it was about 5 minutes before the other 2 meals arrived. I had the huevos rancheros and loved it. I ordered it with an egg over easy and it was perfect. The accompanying potatoes were great. Well cooked and seasoned. Also at our table was the classic breakfast which was good. Except for the greasy, undercooked bacon. And the breakfast burrito, which was delicious. The formentioned waffles were uninteresting and very plain, almost undercooked. We wanted to try the fried chicken and so ordered a side. Delicious seasoning! But somehow one of the pieces had lost half it's crispy crust. Where did it go??? I liked my food so much, I didn't want to rate them a 3, but in many ways it was deserved between the service and some food issues. read more

As the saying goes, if 99% of the people in a restaurant are white, stick with the sandwich/burger and you'll be fine. And this time, I was more than fine. I didn't expect my pulled pork sandwich to be this good. It was tender, juicy, and most importantly, packed with flavor. Every piece of pork was soaked in and had absorbed the barbecue sauce, a true flavor bomb. It even reminded me of some of the pork stew dishes my grandma used to make, and she's not European American. Honestly, I wasn't too excited when I noticed the lack of demographic diversity as I walked in. I was worried it'd be just another overpriced sandwich seasoned with only salt and pepper, but luckily, that wasn't the case. The burger bun was actually my favorite kind of bun (oh geez, I hate when Instagram influencers say "wow, that's actually good" about some mediocre high protein low fat dessert nonsense, but now I kind of have to use this phrase here). It was crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, it was light and airy, not greasy like those from Shake Shack. Paired with the moist pulled pork, it made a perfect combo. The staff were friendly and welcoming, too. My only complaint was that the table was VERY sticky, it was so sticky that I had to avoid touching it, even moving my glass to take a sip felt like peeling it off the surface. read more

Finally got to try this usually packed brunch spot with family! Firstly, I highly recommend putting yourself on the waitlist online ASAP- you'll likely still have decent time to stroll around downtown Langley. The food and service was great. Thoroughly enjoyed my generous slangin' salmon plate, and maple iced latte with cold foam. The raspberry jam and spiced apple spread they have tableside is phenomenal, as well as their ketchup, which also tastes spiced and less cloyingly sweet than storebought generic. Everyone in our party loved their food and drinks and details like the fun glass blown water glasses (I assume from the glass studio next door!). Highly recommend :) read more

Great fried chicken dinner! I don't normally order fried chicken, but this one peaked my interest. Passing through town we stopped for dinner. We weren't interested in a popular place where food is overpriced and to be able to say, "I ate there". We just wanted good food and didn't have to wait 90 minutes just for a table. So we found Braeburn and were immediately pleased with the service. We were seated as soon as we walked in. The waiter person took the time to ask the kitchen about ingredients for our friend who has a milk allergy. The restaurant was very clean with simple decor. Not too noisy. Large windows that brought in good lighting. Now about the Winner Winner Chicken Dinner. OMG! Two of us split the dinner. It usually serves 2-3 people. I would say more like 4 or 5 could easily split this. You can order dark or white meat or a combination. It comes deboned with a nice batter. Also includes 2 sides. We had the Mac & Cheese and potatoes. Also 4 good size biscuit with butter and jam. The Mac & cheese was creamy. I totally recommend this. Potatoes were okay, maybe a bit over seasoned. I would definitely come back to Langley on Whidbey Island just to eat dinner at the Braeburn. read more

We read online that this place was pet friendly (outdoor seating only). The hostess confirmed and we were put on a waiting list for an outdoor table. We waited for roughly 30 minutes before being sat. Our party consisted of 2 adults, 2 children under 5yrs and 1 dog. My husband ordered the pork belly burrito and a diet coke. I ordered "The Nasty" which was a homemade biscuit covered in fried chicken and country gravy and the kids had pancakes and bacon. The food was absolutely amazing. That was the best fried chicken I have ever had. Mixed with the country gravy. Oh man it was just delicious! The staff went above and beyond and were so so friendly. We had a great time here and ate some amazing food! read more

TL;DR: If you're in Langley, Braeburn is a must for brunch - big hearty food, small town hospitality, worth the stop. Food: Unique but not trying too hard - think elevated classics. Big portions - expect to leave full or with a to-go box. Fried chicken is all over the menu and absolutely delivers. Vibe: Pottery Barn decor feel - cozy, warm, small-town energy. Feels like a neighborhood brunch spot that's been around for generations Service is exactly what you expect. What Could Be Better?: Honestly, nothing. It's exactly what it's supposed to be. read more

What a fun place!!! We came over from Mukilteo and waited for over an hour but it was so worth it. Got GF calm chowder, market omelette, and breakfast scramble. I think my favorite part was even though they were SUPER busy, everyone was cheerful and just happy. I appreciate that. We will make the trip back read more

Solid brunch spot in downtown Langley! We stopped by The Braeburn on a Sunday around 2pm. No problem finding street parking, and no wait if you're okay sitting outside (which was perfect since the weather was nice). There's a restroom nearby too (just need an access code). We ordered the Shakshouka and The Braeburn (buttermilk waffle + fried chicken). The latte was okay, but the food was actually really good. One of my poached eggs were a bit overcooked so I didn't get that runny yolk moment, but honestly, still one of the best shakshoukas I've had. The Braeburn portion was huge. Prices were fair for being in a touristy downtown area. Service was super attentive. They kept refilling our water and checked on us often. We'd definitely come back again. read more

I have only one negative thing to say about The Braeburn, so I might as well get it out of the way at the start: the front of house management needs a little work. When we checked in, we were quoted a 1 hour, 20 minute wait time, which was fine with us; we received the text message with our place in the queue, and proceeded to wander about Langley Village and do some shopping, window and otherwise. We would occasionally wander back by the restaurant and glance in, noting a handful of un-bussed tables that say there for a good portion of that time. Around the one hour mark, we decided to head back and sit in the lobby area, as the weather was a bit cold, wet and windy. We happened to notice one of the tables previously mentioned had been bussed, and was sitting there idle. After about 15 minutes, I remarked sarcastically to my wife that "if they seat us at that table, I'm going to be a little upset." I'm sure you can guess where we ended up. Now, I'm no restaurant manager, host, or server, but when a table is wide open, there is no shortage of waitstaff, and customers are made to wait simply because someone doesn't know how to turn tables...if I *were* a manager, I would not be happy. There was literally no reason for such an extended wait, only to end up at a table that had been empty for close to 30 minutes. And to be clear, this wasn't the only open table: there were several that sat unused for extended periods of time, before, during and after our meal, all of which could have been put to effective use and bringing in income and tips more efficiently. All told, I say this not because it irritated me (it did, but only slightly), as I am no drama queen, and I don't get my feathers ruffled very easily. That said, this sort of mismanagement can harm a restaurants reputation AND bottom line, and I've seen more than one fold because they couldn't flip tables fast enough to keep up with costs. This is absolutely an integral skill that cannot be trusted with people who don't have the capacity to be aware of the restaurant's state of capacity at all times. Anyway, I digress. How was the meal, and the service...the actually important parts, from a customer's standpoint? Exquisite! Our server, a bearded, red-headed gentleman whose name I shamefully failed to collect, was fantastic: welcoming, efficient, helpful, encouraging, personable - everything a spectacular server should be! The spicy Bloody Mary that I ordered ranks easily in my Top 3 of all time, and the Shakshuka (plus sausage) blew every other iteration of the dish I've had out of the water, hands down. If and when we ever come back to Langley, I will order this, without question, and without consulting the menu, along with another (or two) of those Bloody Marys. Similarly, my wife ordered the Pumpkin Pancakes, with bacon and an added side of sausage, and loved every single bite (as did our two-year old son, who shared them with her). However, the portion was so unbelievably large that, even between the two of them, almost half was left remaining, and since we had a 4 hour drive back home, there was no way they would survive, and they had to be left behind. I guess I should also note one more slight negative, that being the time it took for our order to arrive. Our drinks came quick as a flash, but the entrées themselves were somewhere near a half hour behind them. Considering how busy the restaurant was, I guess that shouldn't be surprising, but it is something of which to be aware, since this, plus the wait times for seating, means your investment in a meal at the Braeburn is likely to be a 2 hour affair, so bear that in mind if you have time-sensitive plans. There is no doubt in my mind why the Braeburn is popular; even one of the local shopkeepers remarked that a lot of their business comes from people waiting for a table there, and it's easy to see why. Unfortunately, its those wait times that are the only blemish on this otherwise impeccable experience. Although if the hour+ wait times are helping to keep the other businesses in Langley Village afloat, perhaps its for the best? read more

TL;DR: a popular and delightful brunch spot with comforting food that's worth a return visit! Eats: The smoked salmon benedict--perfectly cooked eggs and tasty salmon. I liked the option of an English muffin or biscuit; the biscuit was huge! The hollandaise could have been a bit more flavorful, but overall would still recommend. Atmosphere: A cozy, inviting space with beautiful natural morning light. We sat by a window overlooking the glass-blowing studio and a pretty view of their little garden. Loved that their water glasses came from that shop too. Wait: Joined the online waitlist before driving over, so we were seated quickly. Overall: Great food, heartwarming charm, and hit all the right notes! read more

Okay, look: if you go on a perfect summer Saturday (and then go again on the following perfect summer Sunday) at 10:30 in the morning, you're going to wait for a table. Somewhere in the neighborhood of an hour. They're cool about it, though, so they'll text you when your table is ready. You can use the time to do something else fun - join a protest, say... or just people-watch in the sun. Whatever else you do, don't go to Langley (or anywhere else in South Whidbey, and *not* eat at the Braeburn. This place is seriously spectacular. Over two brunches we tried roughly 1/3 of the breakfast side of the menu and everything was delicious. The namesake chicken and waffles dish killed. The special beef hash was an absolute winner (smoked mushrooms, people!). The special chicken and waffles dish was a revelation (again with the smoking...this time BOURBON NECTARINES!!!). They have fun (and tasty) coffee drinks, and probably a lot of other things that we'll definitely try the next time we're on the island. I almost forgot...the breakfast bread pudding! Aaaagggghhh.... The service is spot on, too. Friendly, efficient, and unhurried in the Island way. GO EAT AT THE BRAEBURN! read more

A ferry ride is a small price to pay to experience the Braeburn in quaint 'downtown' Langley. I've had Shakshouka before at the Fat Hen in Ballard, but the Braeburn's blows it out of the water.

Seriously, this is a brunchie must-try. The service was rather slow due to the incredible volume of people at each table, but the food is definitely ten THOUSAND percent worth the wait. Our server, though I didn't catch his name, was incredibly apologetic for the wait and gave us some wonderful recommendations. I had the tomato basil soup (v) and the veggie hash, and wow... I was blown away. Every dish had so much flavor, even down to the homemade blackberry and apple butter jams at each table. The food was very fresh tasting and I am under the impression that the food is cooked with care and attentiveness. My friend had the clam chowder and a skillet- it was a heaping amount for how much we paid for it. 10/10!!! read more

Was visiting Langley WA for the very first time, and stopped her for brunch based on some reviews I read online. It was a busy Friday morning, and we got one of the last remaining tables. It's a very nice, bright, and cozy space. First thing we noticed were the beautiful water glasses they used (which is provided by the studio next door). I tried the country fried pork chop - it was good. At first glance, it looked incredible. Once I started eating it, it didn't quite live up to how it looked. Pork chop was done well. Gravy was a not as flavourful as I had expected, and the potatoes were a bit soggy. Egg and biscuit were fine. But high points for being a bit different. A good portion size. The family shared a Tuna Melt Lunch Combo and the Chicken & Waffle and they were happy with their meal. Service was super friendly. We were treated like regulars and made us feel right at home. Overall, a nice meal. Happy we stopped here, and would definitely consider coming back. read more

I work from home and took a break to go for a walk around town. I made a last minute decision to duck into the Braeburn and treat myself to breakfast. I sat outside. For the next 45 minutes at least two employees aside from my server came out to surveil me, the last being highly entertaining and orbiting me once the check was brought to my table, backing off once I paid. While absurd and humorous, it was really off putting. Lesson learned, I'll no longer leave the house in sweats. But as a local I'll no longer bring my guests here. read more

Best place for breakfast or lunch. Food and service were outstanding. Will be back here anytime on Whidbey Isly.

Took a day trip to Langley and was pleasantly surprised by this quaint little town. The downtown area isn't very large, but I had to drive around three times before I could find a parking spot. After browsing the interesting shops we decided to stop for breakfast. I'm a retired working owner of an organic restaurant and found this place very appealing. First let me say that I can be very critical of restaurants so it takes a high bar to impress me. The Braeburn exceeded that bar. I'm a huge fan of Benedict's since my former cafe had eight different versions on my menu, so I'm usually drawn there first, and they had an impressive selection. I also mastered Julia Child hollandaise, and they indicated theirs was from scratch. Regardless, I selected an omelette which is rare for me. The Harvest caught my eye, with roasted beets, sweet potatoes, carrots, bacon, braising greens, and goat cheese. My wife and I split this and I must say that if I still had my cafe, it would be on the menu tomorrow! What a nice combination but the greens set it off. Kudos to whomever came up with this. Now I need to go back and try one of their unique Benedict's, but thank goodness summer isn't over! read more

Had a lovely lunch at The Braeburn. We were fortunate enough to sit at the bar with the charming bartender, Zack, also serving as our server. Not only was he very attentive, but even offered us a tasting of a tequila blanco we hadn't tried before. We had a cup of the delicious vegetable minestrone, which came with their homemade biscuits- a meal in itself. Yet, we were still hungry so we kept overnight My husband ordered the BTL which came with chips and a small side of fresh fruit. He said it was good enough, but somewhat plain. I ordered the mixed green salad with grilled chicken and it was lovely and large enough for an entree. The atmosphere is ok. Given the location and pace it has a lot of potential. Given there are not a lot of places for lunch, this is a good spot to try. read more
