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!

Chicken Sammy and side salad
Derek B.

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

Shakshuka

Food was top tier, fresh qualities and made with care. We ordered the Shakshuka and The Braeburn, and finished every last bite. Service was spectacular, attentive but also gave us the privacy needed to explain our feast. Ambiance: brightly lit, with tasteful decor. Fun and charming vibe.

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.

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.

Chowder

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 :)

Fried chicken deboned- dark meat
Alison P.

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.

Braeburn in Langley, Whidbey Island was amazing for large group during our trip. They have a waitlist system you can join online otherwise it's a first come first serve place. The food was enjoyed by all and great portions. I would definitely recommend this brunch spot if visiting Whidbey Island!

PNW: Smoked Salmon Benedict
Kenna P.

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!

Pork Belly Burrito
Tasha L.

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!

Delightful dishes served in a cozy little spot in Langley. Polenta smothered in smokey gravy and salty greens. Fried chicken with sweet and sticky waffles. Flaky biscuits you can dress with apple butter, jam or regular butter.

The Braeburn - super weird but oddly good - think hangover food.
Julian G.

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.

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

The people working there were friendly too. I'd still come back for the vibe alone.

Something similar happened with the other dish we ordered which was Pasta Linguini Primavera with added crab. While we were very happy with the generous crab portion, I found the mix of flavors to be ok, not bad, not amazing either. With that said, I would be back to try other dishes.

The staff was very friendly, but seemed rushed/preoccupied most of the afternoon. I totally understand the lunch rush, plus the game, but we felt forgotten about a few times. Also, this kind of led into a couple small items we ordered being forgotten about. HOWEVER, we did get our main entrees and drinks, and those were so amazing. I wanted to try everything on the menu! While we were waiting for a table we actually met a few locals and they praised Toby's! We were just a little disappointed with the service, but everyone was super friendly! Note: I apologize for not taking pictures of our food, we were so hungry we dove right in!
