    American fries?? Gravy
    Charlotte B.

    The resturant itself is vey quaint. Very clean . The atmosphere was very homey. Staff very helpful. We were seated right away . Beverage order taken. The menu offers a variety of interesting items. Our order was taken and while we waited was given beignets. The beignets were more like fried biscuits but they were very nice, warm on inside crispy and sugary on the outside. Orders were 1/2 order sausage gravy with American fries. Scrambled eggs with American fries. Eggs over easy , hash browns bacon ordered extra crispy. The sausage gravy was good but not sure what it was served over I thought it would be a biscuit but seemed more like a piece of hamburger bun. Gravy was good. Bun not so much. Was very disappointed in finding out my American fries were more like crispy potato chips. They were tasty but not what I had anticipated for breakfast. Scrambled eggs were good but again disappointed in what they call American fries. The over easy eggs were excellent as was the hash browns, the bacon however was not crispy at all very floppy . Our service was excellent. Will probably try them again as I saw several other things on menu I would like to try. Probably not for breakfast, many other great places for breakfast I was disappointed as were my guests. It was just ok. Hopefully other items on menu will prove better next time.

    Complimentary 'beignet'

    If you are ever in this area, you must stop by here. The murals on the sides of the cafe are really beautiful to start out with. Then when you walk in you are welcome like family. Once seated I was greeted again and had my drink order taken. The coffee here is really good. Anyway, I was toying with the thought of getting the small order of beignets, but wasn't sure. So the serves told me I can get one courtesy beignet. That's all I was looking for, just a small sweet thing. It was delicious, but more a biscuit than a beignet. Regardless, it is doughy goodness rolled in cinnamon sugar and that hits the spot. For my main meal I chose the Hunka, which is an English muffin topped with all 3 breakfast meats (ham, bacon, sausage), eggs done your way and cheese. This is served with tater tots. Wow... not only was this a heavenly combination, but the English muffin had just a tiny little crisp edge surrounding it and was buttery soft on the inside. Perfection... yeah, I'm a consistency gal. Which brings me to the tater tots, which were also crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I appreciate that sooo much. Wish I could have eaten more, but while it doesn't look like much, it sure is filling. And let's not forget that I was asked multiple times how I liked it and if I needed anything. Maybe a bed to take a nap on, but other than that I am well taken care off. Payment is at the counter near the entrance, where you can also purchase all kinds of merch.

    I don't even remember how I discovered it, but we were looking for a breakfast place on the way from Indy to Lafayette and this turned out to be the perfect place. As a Ball State alum, I am down with all the red bird decor. The breakfast menu is simple but mighty. I loved that they had a choice between sausage gravy and pepper gravy. I'm not a big meat eater so I usually pick the sausage out of the gravy, so pepper gravy is perfect for me. It also was a perfect serving size too. I finished my whole plate without being overstuffed. Plus, they bring you a biscuit beignet as you wait for your meal. The servers were friendly and this was just a cool, local place to stop.

    Prime Rib
    Karen H.

    Great service with friendly small town atmosphere. Everything begins with a complimentary cinnamon beignet. I think my favorite thing is the Angus Burger with homemade Onion Rings. The Omelet Your Way is a tasty start to morning. The Prime Rib or Barbecue Ribs are a special

    Plentiful helpings of good home cooked food.

    We had brunch at 9a and it was wonderful! Our waitress was helpful and attentive. My meal was 2 eggs, hash brown and an English muffin with a bottomless cup of coffee all for under $11 dollars (not including the tip) We were also offered complimentary beignets. Visually this is an adorable cafe; art work, merchandise and happy employees. Not to be overlooked, cleanliness. My hope is to return to try their reuben that looked amazing.

    Dude. I mean. Go here. I met the owner/chef quite a few years ago when she was first opening this precious place...although she probably wouldn't remember me ... but listening to her talk about her dream back then I knew it would be a HIT. I'm sorry it took me so long to visit. Upon entry into the foyer I knew I wanted this woman to redecorate my house. SO COUNTRY CHIC! Into the restaurant we go. So incredibly clean and open and bright...those are the first thoughts I have. We had to look over our shoulders behind us to see the 'merch', which I appreciate wasn't shoved in my face as soon as I walked in. But I WANTED TO BUT IT AAAAAALLLLL!! It wasn't crowded at all (8am on a Saturday) Our hostess was gracious and professional and home-town. She took us to our seat by the window. I couldn't take my eyes off the decor!!!! The table was SO CLEAN! I appreciate that! Our server, Shayla, was an absolute dream. She was so nice. The perfect amount of attentive. Not pushy. So kind. Funny. We LOVED her. She probably thought I was a crazy lady because I couldn't stop taking pictures of this place!!! Ok, before I continue, y'all should know this place serves lunch and breakfast menu all day. My god I wish this place was around when my son was 7 and ONLY ATE CHEESE BURGERS!!! Anyway... the breakfast menu is arranged in a way that really makes it easy to create your own perfect plate. Eggs Your Way. Omelet Your Way etc. The coffee is really yummy. That needs its own shout out. Some hole in the walls (this is NOT a hole in the wall but not a place you're expecting a great great coffee) do not have good coffee. Tricia DOES. I ordered eggs my way...scrambled add American cheese...comes with Hashbrowns and toast. I got a side of bacon...crispy...as well. Hubs got Omelet your way which also came with Hashbrown and toast. Mother of all that is good and pure...if those eggs weren't scrambled to PERFECTION!! I'm not kidding. These were NOT eggs scrambled at 4am and put in a warming dish to serve whenever someone wanted them. My eggs were scram and cooked when I ordered them I KNOW it! They were delicate and creamy and beautiful. Absolutely the best scrambled eggs I've had in ALL OF LAFAYETTE. No joke. How is this place on the cusp of Dayton Indiana?!?! My bacon was perfect. The toast is delicious. I think they may toast it on the flattop. Whatever, Tric, DONT CHANGE IT!! Another fantastic fact is they have adult beverages!! Mimosas! Iced adult coffee (and non alcoholic iced coffee) beer and wine and specialty drinks!!! This is my number one, absolute favorite place to come for breakfast and I'll be returning SOOOOON for a taste of those delicious sounding, home cooked dinners and lunches. Delicious sounding salads too!! I can only guess it's homemade dressings which are always the best!!!

    Breaded tenderloin
    Hannah F.

    Love this place. Best breaded tenderloin around! Open for just breakfast and lunch right now, but hopefully they will eventually reopen for dinner so I can go more often! The services is always great and I love that the owner always comes out to greet people and check on everyone. It's a family favorite!

This time I got a burger and root beer. This isn't fancy food, this is country cooking at it's finest. The root beer is amazing. I should have asked about a root beer float, next time. You walk it and sit where ever you can. It it a long counter that wraps around and the wait staff walk inside it. The fries are yummy, and the burger was perfect for what I needed a solid meal since I hadn't eaten in almost 9 hours. Yep sounds like a personal problem. But hey at least the food here has been perfect both times. Maybe next time I will buy a shirt or at least some root beers to go with me. My burger was a true knife and fork meal. At least I am too old to be wearing my chili all over my beard and shirt. Highly recommend if in the area and it is only 5 miles off the interstate. Drive in and enjoy a yummy meal.

We sat outside since the dogs were with us. The seats were uncomfortable and extra cold with the plastic benches in a lattice design . Today was a special occasion and they did zero to help celebrate even though they said they would. The wait to be seated took an extremely long time. The rating is more 3 and a half than 4 (especially given this latest visit) but I tend to be generous overall if possible.

The space looks great, it's clean, and the staff is genuinely friendly. Service was very fast, even with multiple large groups in the room. Noise was completely reasonable. If anything, it may feel "a little loud" to someone whose baseline is the quieter side of the Lafayette-area dining scene, but compared to bigger-city restaurants it was fully fine and well within what I'd expect. Overall, The Bryant would fit right in in a market like Oklahoma City, Dallas, New York, or Pittsburgh and wouldn't feel out of place at all. Highly recommended.

I thought I was underdressed, but the dress code seems pretty casual. Water was served in a cold milk bottle. I could not decide what to order; everything on the menu looked absolutely delicious. The menu described the items well, and when I asked the wait staff for their preference or any recommendations, she told me five different favorite items that are often ordered, which was nice, but was not what I asked. I finally decided on the strawberry-and-brie cheeseburger. I ordered it medium well with fries. I was really disappointed in the French fries; they tasted old and cold, and when I cut into the hamburger, it was bloody. I sent the burger back, and this time they brought it out well done. The staff argued that it was medium well, with blood coming out of it. And before anybody thinks I'm confusing the strawberry jam on the burger with bloody pink meat, please see the picture. Upon receiving the new burger, which was cooked well done, I found it to be very good. It was tasty and juicy. As I was finishing my meal, a young family came in, and their child was making a lot of noise. A gentleman told them that if the child did not calm down, they would have to go outside. When the family tried to speak with the gentleman further, he continued walking away and did not stop to answer questions. I was not sitting close to this table, and yet I heard the gentleman talking to the young couple. Had I not already received my food and been getting ready to leave, I would have gotten up and gone with the couple in support. I understand setting standards, especially when the restaurant is bustling, but at this point, as a server, I could only observe two other tables in the entire restaurant, and one of them was preparing to leave. If I ever returned to this area, this restaurant would not be one I would return to.
