Only ever got delivery from here so can't speak to the location itself. The fried chicken here is phenomenal - flavorful, crispy, juicy in the middle. We moved to the area a year ago and this is now our one and only go-to for fried chicken because everything else has been disappointing! I got BeyondMenu purely so I could keep ordering from them since they're no longer on Grubhub. My only request is to add some kind of green/veggie sides so I can make myself feel like I ate SOMEthing good for my health. ;) read more

Been coming here for years , it's always my go to for a good waffle , their Belgium waffle is absolutely delicious! Idk what they use in the batter but it is simply tasty , something I pair it with two eggs or turkey sausage but most times all I need is my Belgium waffle lol Def try it out they also deliver locally . Fish and chips are decent , sweet potatoe pie is delicious And the breakfast potatoes are decent ** one particular time I ordered grilled chicken( I have a pic below) I found a hair in my food and I called the next day and they gave me a waffle instead . I was scared from the grilled chicken from them on lol but other then that Bruno is good with me read more

Great waffles, soft and chewy, slightly sweet. Fresh made and tasty. I like it paired with the chicken tenders vs. Chicken legs, wings or thighs. They have a lot of other options too. The chicken over rice platter is absolutely amazing. It is so reminiscent of NYC style Halal. It's always clean inside and the owner is very hands on and super pleasant. I really enjoy coming in here and having these awesome, thought people provoking conversations while my food is being freshly prepared. Even while I'm chosing between cake or pie. There is a sign here that I've got to post if not yet posted next time I go. It says it is not a chicken shack. I agree. It is so much more then an average 9 piece and French fry place. Quality is above average, Great service and Pleasant, welcoming vibes. There isn't much more you could ask for. read more

This is a chicken shack. I ordered a 5 piece with fries, mac & cheese and biscuits. They ran out of biscuits so I had to order mashed potatoes instead. I had high expectations based on the reviews but this is honest to God, chicken shack quality. The meat was dry, skin had the same reddish tint of chicken shack chicken, and it was bland. Not even hot sauce and ketchup could make it edible. The fries were clearly fried in re-used oil. They were so dark I thought they gave me sweet potato fries instead. The mashed potatoes were bland and had a very salty gravy on top. All I could taste was salt. The mac and cheese was swimming in oil and the pasta was over cooked. The taste was reminiscent of KFC mac & cheese. I would never return. read more

I've never had fried chicken and waffles together before so I did a quick google search and drove 37 min from Carteret just to try it. It didn't seem like much from the outside, however, as soon as I walked in I was immediately taken care of by a lady in the front who made me feel at home. She noticed it was my first time at the place and gave me an extra piece of chicken. Talk about customer service! Anyways the food was AMAZING. The fried chicken had the right amount of seasoning and crunch while the waffles were fluffy and easy to break apart. This might be my first time trying fried chicken and waffles but they definitely set the bar high! With unparalleled customer service and great food, I would recommend this to anyone! read more

Definitely our new go-to for American grill food. He had the waffle and fried chicken style (tenders style) and I had the chicken wrap from the grill. Side orders of coleslaw, potato wedges, and sweet potato fries. Potato wedges were still hot on the inside, but would skip the sweet potato fries if you're ordering delivery. Which in hindsight- duh. read more

I ordered cheese eggs , bacon and home fries Chicken tenders and waffles . We placed our order over the phone for delivery and I must say the customer service was HORRIBLE! Very rude and unprofessional, should've stopped then. The food took one hour and twenty minutes ( the establishment was less than 5 min away ) the eggs were cold and the chicken looked like Frozen chicken patties ! Waffles were horrible as well. Everything was cold and over cooked. Waste of thirty dollars! read more

We had a great experience here. The food was great. I ordered waffles and the egg combo that comes with grits and toast. I got home fried on the side. My BF ordered chicken and 2 cheeseburgers. The wait was a bit long b/c everything was made to order. Other than that, the food was good. read more

I used to live down the block on Brookwood and I'm sad to say I never came in here because this spot is like hidden gem. I ordered through Grubhub for the first time today and unfortunately their coffee machine broke and the young woman called immediately and was so polite and professional and we were talking about coffee for 5 minutes, ha. She called Grubhub immediately to reimburse the $5.35 so that showed that they care about their service. I ordered 2 piece chicken and fries, banana pudding, and my sister got a short stack. Everything was great! The banana pudding is AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for the great service and the food was nice and hot when we received it. Keep up the consistent service because you just got yourself a new regular :) read more

Open during COVID no place to sit in and eat though.. the people are great here and extremely accommodating.. really really good chicken and waffles.. the fish is great too read more

First time trying this place and they immediately turned me away from ever returning. If you could choose anything that comes after the quality of food, customer service is bound to come second, and the woman who answered the phone had not an ounce of it. I placed an order online for delivery, when I received my order one item that was paid for was missing. So I called the restaurant. She first tried telling me I needed to wait till the driver came back to see the receipt. I told her I was looking at the receipt and paid and broke it down. I then asked her how much each item was and she said "I don't know." Then said "you have to deal with the company you ordered from." Long story short, they only refunded me for the missing item and I never received my missing item. Much better places to choose from in the area with great customer service. So sorry you lost this potential customer. read more

Food was alright until I found a shrimp tail in my chicken. Hoping it was just mixed in vs. being a used shrimp tail. That's what I get for cheating on my diet anyway. Update: My mom came to visit and ordered from here. I would have told her not to had I known. Food was an hour late and cold (and bland), shrimp was all breading, they sent the wrong sodas, and didn't add what she requested to the order. Won't EVER order from here again. Nor use Grubhub to order anything either. read more

Bruno's Chicken and Waffles is a new and welcome addition to the low cost chicken shack options in Newark. It actually is more than a chicken shack, because they also serve breakfast food (all day and night), lamb and rice and other middle eastern/Mediterranean type dishes. They don't do pizza. They don't have to. The set up is like a diner, but the vibe is similar to a chicken shack, but not as ghetto as most of them (chicken shacks = Kings Fried/Detroit Fried/USA Fried/Kennedy Fried = you know where they are and what the deal is). Several key differences here: the menu is more diverse, they have a parking lot and are set back off the street, the inside has no bulletproof glass, the food is all halal, and they deliver/take cards - how convenient is that? I heard about the place from a Facebook friend and had to check it out the next time I was in Jersey. To be honest, it's on South Orange Avenue by South Clinton St and East Orange, which is a little rough and tumble (especially when I was growing up there), but it's not too bad if you drive and get it to go or call for delivery. They do have tables though and during the day should be fine to dine in. Anyhow, I drive over there around 10:30pm and there is a lady already there ordering a western omelet and an Italian cheesesteak - there's only certain kinds of places where you can get both of those items at the same time. I put my order in for 3 pieces of chicken and a waffle. My bill? $7.00! I don't know many other places where I can get a deal like that, if any. My food comes and I decide to stay and eat... And the food is delicious! The waffle is light, flaky, and crispy. They put butter on it as soon as it comes out so hit it with the syrup, bite the chicken, and get ready for flavor explosion... The chicken is meaty and juicy. It could use a shot more flavor, but I like more savor and flavor on my food (not hot spices) than most. Most folks will find it A-OK. So I'm thankful to my friend on Facebook for blowing this spot up; I'm doing the same on Yelp. read more

The lady who works there is soooo nice and sweet. The food is also delicious; we ordered the fried chicken, mash potato, and coleslaw combo w/ a side of mozzarella sticks. We were surprised with how yummy everything was. We will definitely be going back! read more

The waffles were on point! Sweet flavored, soft, and still warm on delivery! Was a little worried about placing a take out for the chicken and waffles, but other reviews had me convinced to give it a go, and to my surprise, they really good! Would definitely give their menu another try! read more

This is the finest chicken and waffles I've had in the East Coast! The Belgian waffle was delivered hot and tasty. The chicken was moist and well cooked. They'd give Roscoe's a run for their money read more

Ordered from them on Eat24, which is always super convenient. However, I forced them to deliver out to Newark, so it took a little while for them to get here. Food was pretty great, and there are few things as great as online ordering. Definitely give them a shot. read more

Good chicken. Sweet Crisp yet perfectly chewable Waffles. S/O to Newark! lol Middle Eastern food and Chicken & Waffles. -I don't know whether to stop or GO- But this place is worth the trip read more

Best chicken in the area! And super friendly service!! I don't know why more SOMA people don't go to this place. The chicken is perfectly seasoned, and fried crispy on the outside but tender inside. It's not a place that you're going to go to for a sit down meal; but for fast takeout chicken, they're delicious! Two thumbs up! read more

The lady who works there is a sweetheart . She gives it a good vibe . The waffles were so soft and fluffy . I usually like crispy waffles but I fell in love with Bruno's waffles . The chicken was good too . I wish I had more . The appearance is the only problem . It's like maybe a subways was there before and they didn't care to change it . It's look better with new designs . Cozier designs . It was great food though & awesome choices and great service read more

I found a baby roach in my waffle. I will never order from here again. Beyond disgusted and very disappointed because I've ordered the food here once before and it was fine. I felt like I wasted my money; over $20 worth. I had two separate orders one being a waffle with 4 pieces of chicken and another waffle with chicken. I didn't even want to check the other order. read more

Never ordering from here again. Didn't get anything from my order correct. I ordered a turkey sandwich was very specific about what to put on it and they messed that up. I HATE MAYO and it was not only on the sandwich but there was a lot. I ordered wing zings and got BBQ wings. They also took 83 minutes to deliver. Ended up not eating at all. read more

Seriously the best fried chicken and waffles AND customer service in Newark! Their food is always fresh and high quality and that's why I keep coming back. I definitely recommend trying them out. read more

I ate there breakfast, I had there 4 salmon cakes, eggs, grits with cheese it was delious

Not bad chicken wasn't too greasy fries was good delivery was quicker then they say was expected

After taking all of my information and asking me to pay $4 for a delivery fee, she still canceled my order and told me that they will not do it. Not a thing on my book! read more

From top to bottom this place is on point! I've ordered from here FIVE times and each time has been fantastic. The food has been great, the workers have called me anytime that they had a question about my meal(which is amazing because I'd rather be called than have my order wrong), and the drivers Coke up to the door with the food, for those of you that aren't familiar with certain parts of NJ, Most delivery drivers pull up in your drive way or on the street and call you to come to the car. If you're thinking about ordering from here and you're reading this, thank me later. read more

Too bad I cannot give this place zero stars, because they don't even deserve the one I am forced to give. Allowed us to believe they were bringing our delivery, only to tell us they wouldn't fill the order because of *where* we told them to deliver to. We were explicit in our instruction, but they told us because we let them know our door was behind where the dumpster is stationed, the supervisor decided not to allow the delivery. For that reason only! If we hadn't called, we'd never have known this was the case, and would have been waiting for food that would never have arrived. Very unprofessional. Don't. Even. Bother. read more

Very disappointed...I read quite a few reviews about their orders being cancelled but I still decided to give this place a try. And Guess what happened...after I place my order about 10 minutes later I get the notification that my order was cancelled. No explanation why...but just order cancelled. I am so confused. Some reviewers were blaming it on the site that they used to order through but no its the restaurant. I wanted to try the food because of the other reviews I read but nope. Unfortunately, I won't order from here again and I didn't even get to taste the food... read more

This place that advertises as a safe, neighborhood friendly place left such a bad taste in my mouth. I recommend that they should completely revamp their operation and bring it up to at least moderate standards of service and products. * They didn't have fried chicken ready and needed 15 minutes to fry it up. * The server wouldn't give me a glass of tap water and claimed that it's because the E. Orange water is no good. * Server refused to give me a hot cup of tea from the hot water dispenser on the front counter when I declined the offer of a cardboard sleeve and gave me lukewarm tea instead. The server said she heated cold water on the stove, but for all I know she could have served me water from the hot water tap. The reason for giving me lukewarm water, she claimed, is because patrons may burn themselves and sue a restaurant for having served a hot drink. * The view from inside the restaurant was out into the parking lot where one of the restaurants' floormats had been thrown, and of a parking spot with tree detritus that had not been swept up. * The chicken pieces were some of the smallest I've ever seen. The thigh was 1/2 the size of thighs I am accustomed to being served elsewhere. And all three pieces were dry. * The bathroom faucet handles are too long for the water to be completely turned off, so a substantial sized stream of cold water runs constantly in there. The hot water is turned off completely. * The floor had been just cleaned when I went into the bathroom - with so much Pinesol I choked on the toxic stench it left behind and could barely breathe. * I didn't see a Halal certificate hanging anywhere read more

To let you'll know don't ever buy food from this spot they ask like you not paying I never order from here the delivery driver is horrible and deserve no tips at all the food probably nasty anyway happy it didn't came they get no stars at all sad excuse for a restaurant if any one could have told me so I didn't waste my time with these people sad sad sad sad not even mad read more

Usually I don't eat from Chicken Shack but the waffles are delicious and they deliver. Staff is very nice as well

I have never eaten chicken and waffles together and thought it was an odd combo. I'm glad I chose Bruno's as my first place to try it. I used the delivery option and it was fast! The food was amazing and I will definitely be coming here again. read more

The waffle was good but the chicken was like any other chicken shack chicken except it had Italian seasoning sprinkle on at that skin. The meat itself had parts that was dry/stringy tasted either old or overcooked not remarkable at all but not horrible. read more

Wow! The chicken is actually hand fried. Not that prefried "Kennedy" or "Crown" fried halal chicken you're used to. It's fresh and tastes great. The staff is welcoming and fast. Yum! I'll be going back. Three stars because it's not the BEST spot to go to. But for something quick and on the go I will be returning. read more

Yes, chicken and waffles is in the name but the menu has so many dishes that are yummy. Quality food, great staff and delivery! New fav spot!! read more

Your food is great! However, your staff was extremely rude. We called to make an order, and the woman questioned me multiple times on my address, name, and order and ultimately cancelled it because my name was unfamiliar to her. That's really professional. It doesn't matter what my name is if I'm giving you the address and directions and the money, give us our food in peace. read more

Lady that works here is so sweet and helpful. The chicken was perfectly cooked and not too greasy! I will definitely be back in the near future to enjoy it again! read more

terrible customer service n rude lady who doesnt know how to take orders or speak to her customers!!!

I go here often, my 10yr old loves the fried chicken wings here, I haven't really order anything besides that.
