To be honest I wasn't expecting much just because Idaho isn't really known for cheesesteaks but when I took my first bite I was impressed by the flavor. I passed by this location and the outside of the restaurant grabbed my attention so as I decided to give it a try. I got the regular cheesesteak, so just meat with onions and cheese. From the appearance of the sandwich I thought it would be blend but when I bit into it, I was surprised by how good it was! My only cons are that the bun needs some Philly upgrade to it and the portion of meat needs to increase and I think it would be really good! Staff were friendly, and helpful. The ambiance with chill. Would definitely again in the future! read more

My husband and I wanted to try this joint out a couple weeks ago when we were in the area. For some crazy reason we decided to get pizza instead. After eating here, we should have came here instead of having the pizza. It was later in the afternoon when we came in so it was pretty chill. I I did creep out the menu online so I had a general idea of what I wanted. My husband is pretty predictable so he automatically knew what he wanted. So for lunch I got the 7" pepper steak and my husband got the 7" steak classic with no onions. We both got extra meat instead on getting a bigger sandwich. Yo, this sandwich was so good! My meat was cooked perfectly and not dry! It had a ton of jalapenos and banana peppers. It was cheesy and savory. The bread was soft and not dense. Every bite of it was so good! Not gonna lie, the jalapenos were creeping up on me towards the end. They were getting spicy! I might do half the jalapenos next time. The banana peppers added a nice acid to the sandwich. I polished that baby off and was so full! Well, as full as I was, this joint does offer ice cream. Of course we had to grab some! So, my husband and I grabbed a single scoop of cookies and cream on a sugar cone. It was a decent sized scoop. The gal that scooped it did have a hard time scooping it, it was kinda hollow in the middle. But, it was honestly enough ice cream without officially putting me into food coma. The gals that helped up were really nice! The Phillies here are killer good! The venue is open and spacious. Huge tvs on the wall would make this joint fun during football season! My husband and I enjoyed our sandwiches and look forward to coming back for more! read more

I have to admit, I was pretty surprised to see an empty dining room at 5:45 pm, but it was a Thursday night and I've never been here before, so it wasn't too upsetting. Someone quickly came to the register with a huge smile and great attitude, patiently waiting while my husband and I scoured the menu. He ordered the 7" classic and I ordered the 7" supreme without mushrooms. We didn't have to wait long before they served us two piping hot sandwiches and a large fries. The sandwich was so hot that the cheese melted onto the paper, but when I carefully pulled the paper from the sandwich, it revealed this lovely melted mess of cheese, onions, steak, peppers and mayo. It was the epitome of gluttonous glory. The bun was soft, yet sturdy enough to hold all that gluttony. I eagerly dove in and was surprised on how much I enjoyed the combo of flavors. I thought it lacked a little salt, black pepper or something to make the sandwich "zing". But everything tasted fresh and was overall a very filling and delicious meal. The crinkle cut fries were hot, fresh and perfectly cooked. Liked the fry sauce as well. Honestly, I've never had a real cheesesteak sandwich before so I'm not sure how valid my review is in general. That said, I really liked our time at Bruchi's. read more

First time here today, not bad for a Philly! The fries were absolutely delicious and perfectly crispy! Fry sauce was yummy! it was empty when we arrived and a flood of people poured in shortly after us. They have a couple of TV's on to watch the game. Good food, everything tasted fresh, glad we tried it! read more

Normally I really like Bruchi's because they have exceptional cheesecake sandwich sandwiches. I like my cheesesteak sandwiches a particular way with lettuce and tomato and mayo. The last three times I have gone there the girl at the counter has told me they don't have tomatoes because "tomatoes are in extremely high demand and really hard to get". I'd be willing to bet a substantial sum that I could go to the subway down the street and they would have tomatoes coming out of their ears. It seems like someone who is doing the ordering is just being lazy. Won't be going back here. What kind of sandwich place does not keep tomatoes in stock no matter what? Get your act together Bruchi's! read more

The menu has lots of options, burger, salads, subs, and cheesesteaks. I decided to get a cheesesteak as this is supposedly what they are known for. I got the steak supreme 7 inch Sandwich was good just small. Very underwhelming. I did get fries and I would say they were probably the best part of the lunch. If you want a snack, this might be a good place to come, but if you're looking for a meal is probably wouldn't be the place to come read more

Bruchi's CheeseSteaks & Subs - 7" Steak Supreme - Burgers Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

Decided to try @Bruchis_ in meridian today. Won't make that mistake again. Walked in to find a near empty restaurant with a lone employee in the kitchen, sitting on a prep table (gross..) and taking on the phone. He looked at us, continued talking and walked around. He was mimicking doing things, without actually doing anything. He finally walked over and and asked what we would like. We placed our order online, and if we hadn't, we wouldn't have stuck around. He went and grabbed our order. We got it home (1 mile away) and cracked into it. The supreme cheesesteak was fine, but seriously under seasoned. Very bland. The fries were pale and squishy, and again, under seasoned. The burger was the best item we had. Great stuff. No notes. When I finished, I decided to send an email to the company about my concern with The employee sitting on food prep surfaces, and generally ignoring us, only to discover there is no way to contact them. The website, Facebook, and X all have messaging unavailable. What a mess. Won't be back. read more

The quality has really fallen off the last couple orders. Feel like one shrink flation and flavor is missing from years ago. Once my favorite cheessesteak no longer. J.M. does better now. read more

The food used to be good when the original had it! The fries are terrible. Unless you order double meat there's hardly any meat in the sandwich. I first started going there in 2019 2020 2021 and I felt the food was really good. My friends and I would eat there a lot but no more save your money, and my opinion that is read more

The ambience is ok, but not as clean as other restaurants, about 50% of the tables, booths, we're still dirty and it was not busy. The food was just OK. The fries were hot except the fries all come in 1 inch to 2 inch size fries. Forget about getting long ones for dipping in your sauce of choice. The 7" French dip I ordered with extra cheese, did not have extra cheese. And, They have cheese items on the menu board that they no longer carry. The meat in the sandwich was half of what I would expect and have seen in the past. It was a very skimpy sandwich . The first thing I noticed when I picked it up was how light it was. This is about 50% of what a subway sandwich would weigh. I tried to give them another chance so I'm only gonna give them two stars now. This is actually down from the four stars. I provided them when I first came in a few years ago. Things have definitely changed. And finally, I went to go leave some feedback because I read the receipt which says to scan the QR code below, but check this out, apparently they don't want your feedback. Maybe they already know how bad they are? read more

We loved Bruchi's when we first tried it a few years ago, but the experience has been reliably disappointing lately. Tonight was very similar to the last time we came. Despite there being only a couple other patrons in the store, and plenty of staff visible behind the counter, there was a good 20+ minute wait for our food, only to get nearly cold sandwiches. My son's cheesesteak had cheese that was going solid again, it hadn't been hot for so long. The fries were hot, though, so I guess they decided to hold our sandwiches while they waited on a batch of fries.... Not a great decision. I'd rather eat a hot sandwich hot and wait for the fries. On top of that, the soda situation: Coke was out. Diet Coke was flat. Dr. Pepper was out. Root beer was mostly flat. And despite alerting the staff, nothing was done to resolve the problem in the 40 minutes we were there. We also were given water cups to use for our meals instead of a regular soda cup. Guess they were out? Sad to pay almost $3 for a drink situation like this. The store also used to have condiments and seasonings at the counter, but now you have to ask staff to bring them to you. All of this while prices have increased. Unfortunately after two bad and overpriced experiences in a row, we're done trying for the foreseeable future. We will have to look for good cheesesteaks elsewhere. read more

I expected more from a place that proudly features "cheesesteak" on the sign. The sandwich was fine--but just that. The bread, which really sets a great cheesesteak apart, was merely okay. Kind of like pizza: most of it is good, but great pizza? You remember it. This was good, not great. I wasn't expecting Philly-level perfection, but I was hoping for something above average--and this just didn't deliver. read more

It is so hit and miss with this place! Husband loves the Philly, and i have had either super good or kinda meh! It's definitely worth a try! Service was not the best the last few times we went but hey we keep going! It's a fun place to watch the game! read more

My bread was cold and soggy and cheese was so watery, so much so that the bread stuck to the wrapper, wont be coming here again.

I'll start by saying the food is delicious. We've been coming to Bruchi's for years now, and the quality and taste of their cheesesteaks has been consistent - even through a change of ownership. One of our biggest complaints is the quality of service. The past two times we've come in, they've been out of something. First, it was french fries and this past time, medium soda cups. The drink area is pretty consistently dirty and/or under stocked. When ownership switched over, the loyalty cards also ended which sucks! We loved being able to work towards a free sandwich - hopefully that will be replaced with a similar program soon. Wait time is hit or miss. The last two times we've visited we've waited at least 30 minutes for our order (two cheesesteaks and an order of fries -if they have them). It really seems like they're understaffed and whoever is ordering needs some support. It's not as happy and friendly as it used to be. We will continue to stop in when we get a craving for cheesesteak, but our expectation for quick and quality service has severely diminished. read more

We came here after church on Sunday and were greeted with extremely friendly individuals. They came to our table once we ordered and asked if we needed any condiments or refills . They came back and they asked again if we needed anything. Very clean establishment and laid back. We asked if they could take our picture and they did it with pleasure! I took a star off because my french dip sandwich wasnt very flavorful at all. Everyone else seemed to really enjoy their food though! Will be returning very soon! read more

First time ordering. Ordered online and picked-up at drive-thru. The fries were hot and tasty, but the fry sauce had too much pickle flavor. Next time, I'll just get ketchup. The sandwich was unbelievably narrow, think hot dog circumference. This size was a disappointment for the price, but it did taste very good. Friendly service and plenty of napkins included. read more

How can you run out of bread? Did you not want to make any since you are closing in 1 hour?

Walk in, place pretty much dead except one table. Guy behind the counter doing something organizing napkins or something. No acknowledgment. Make it obvious I'm ready to order by walking up to the counter that he's working at. Just ignoring me. No "hey how are you," just acts like I'm a ghost. Stand there for about 10 seconds of getting ignored, turn and walkout. So tired of bad customer service everywhere. Have to go to in-n-out or chic-fil-a to be treated like a human anymore. Also, I've had the cheesesteak here before and it was below average. Not giving this place any more chances. read more

Overall, not a good place. Waited almost 20 minutes for a mediocre Philly and was the only car in the drive thru. The Philly was ok, but you can get a better one at almost any other sandwich shop in the valley. Bread was stale, toppings were wet and size was small. read more

I've been 3 times. The order has been wrong every time. The floors are dirty. The tables and trays are sticky. The food takes at least 20 mins at a "fast food" restaurant. Today 4 of 5 meals were wrong. As we waited for someone to take our order, the view from the kitchen showed boxes on the prep table with someone's hoodie thrown over it. Cannot go back! read more

I used to really love this place. It is not the same, the cheese stake meat was now chopped into small tasteless pieces which resembled cat food. Order the Surpreme and it was the most bland sandwich I have had. Will not go back read more

I walked into the Bruchis in Meridian Id. on Chinden. A young man helped with my order he was as friendly and polite. My problem is the employee in the sandwich area degrading another employee about how to take breaks , when and where you can eat while working his shift. what a jerk if you are going to manage like that at least do it in the office not in front of customers. read more

It is Wednesday, double stamp loyalty card. My wife loves the fries, and I love the Philly Cheese steak. This place is clean and pretty quick in getting your order out. The only hiccup here is trying to head east on Chinden when you leave. You need to navigate to the southeast side of the shopping center and make 2 lefts OR try to make a right on Chinden from the north west side and hope you can get across 3 lanes to make a u-turn at the light. read more

Cheesesteaks here aren't very good unless you get extra cheese, they come out super dry. But otherwise pretty solid if they are made right. Service is slow as slow. Place is almost completely empty and everyone already has their food. 30 minutes later and we still didn't get our food. It took them 35 min to make 2 sandwiches for the only customers in there that didn't have their food (us). Absurd. read more

Recently moving here from California was pretty excited to find they had a Bruchi's location somewhat near our house. Not always liking to eat at a chain restaurant this franchise always delivers and we have always enjoyed their sandwiches in Nor California. Came here to this location recently and brought us back to something familiar. Service was really good and the young staff made it very pleasant. For food my go to is their spicy cheesesteak with extra grilled jalapeños. I will give you a forewarning that this is spicy and lives up to the spicy name. I also had a side of their crinkle fries cooked crispy as well. Food was great and perfectly executed and the inside of the restaurant was well kept and clean. Really enjoyed our cheesesteak sandwiches and will for sure be back. read more

The staff barely acknowledged me when I walked in and they were about 5 staff and no other customers. Then, when they gave me my food the fry sauce was warm and gross and the French fries seemed like they were cooked yesterday and left sitting out. Overall horrible food for $35. So bummed! read more

What quick-serve restaurant doesn't take phone-in orders for pickup? If that's the case, why answer the phone? Why have a phone at all? Online ordering is usually IN ADDITION to phone or in-person ordering options. read more

I have driven by this place on numerous occasions. I read a review the other day and decided to try it. The staff was very nice, the restaurant was clean. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger and a large fry. The food was great and the prices were reasonable. The meat was tender and juicy, the fries were crispy, the bread was fresh. I will definitely be back, and will try other items on the menu. I have gotten the turkey submarine to go and it was excellent. Today I stopped in and had the french dip. This was also excellent. Very tender and juicy. The staff was polite and very nice. I recommend this place to anyone. read more

My husband was dying to try this place, saying "if they put cheesesteak on the sign, it better be good". Well, it wasn't bad, but nothing to write home about (or Yelp about). His take away was "underwhelming". I went for the crinkle cut fries, which were good but get cold fast. We shared a Supreme steak. Onions and peppers were not evenly distributed, so I got most of the peppers. As others have said, the meat stops about an inch from the end of the bread. The sandwich did come out piping hot! Not enough cheese for me and really no juices. The kid who took our order was a dry, no personality but still polite person. The place is clean,lots of seating, pretty cool simple decor. We would go back again, but maybe to try the French Dip instead. read more

So this might have been an off day for them but the Philly Cheesesteak did not agree with me! I'm the first one to stop at a roadside Taco stand in Mexico, I eat Sushi all over the country and for my stomach to act up says a lot! lol That said, the place was super clean, staff was fast and efficient and very friendly. The seating was spread out so everyone was comfortable. Fast response from Management, thank you! I was there for lunch on 3-16-21 at 1:45 if that helps? Had your 7" Steak Classic. read more

Do not go unorganized mess; spend over 45 minutes on two sandwiches. Manager wanted to augure about it instead of apologizing for the wait.

Went for a pickup order like I have done several times. Every single time we order we ask for horseradish packets, super simple to put in the bag, yet they are never there so normally we ask at the window for some, this last time we were told they were in the bag so I checked there was none and we went back and asked for some. The employee was extremely rude and yelling as soon as we got to the window and proceeded to tell me I couldn't open my own bag of food. He just assumed it was a DoorDash order even though I ordered a pickup though Uber Eats which is clearly stated on the receipt which we normally get one but this time no receipt, no horseradish, and extremely rude employee, not a good experience, they do not care how they treat customers. I do not suggest going here unless you want to be treated like crap for asking for the correct order that you paid for. We will not be going back here again. Avoid ordering at all costs unless you want to be yelled at by an employee. read more

Date night and Bruchi's 4hrs or so ago when living nearby was one of our favorites for their French dip, cheesesteaks and fries. Service was great but the food has gone down hill. Both sandwiches had little meat and the French dip bread tasted odd. Not a place we will return to. read more
