Such a great chicken spot!!! We usually eat here before catching a movie next door. I've ordered the kids chicken meal for my little ones and 1 box is enough to feed them both, they get a nice handful of fries plus I believe 8 chicken nuggets which are a good size. I get the chicken sandwich which is also amazing! Customer service is great, everyone is smiling and super friendly. They keep it clean inside and outside on their patio. read more

I've ordered the breakfast burrito from Bruxie a couple of times now, and it has yet to disappoint! Every burrito has been fresh, flavorful, and incredibly filling. The eggs are always fluffy and taste freshly made, which makes a big difference. Their green tomatillo sauce is the perfect addition as it adds just the right amount of flavor without overpowering the burrito. And don't skip the tots! They're crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. If you're looking for a hearty & delicious breakfast burrito without the long wait, this is it. read more

Definitely better than my first experience here :) very polite and nice servers. The waffles this time around were so tasty and crispy! The chicken was ok, but still good with the waffle. It was overcooked. Overall - a yummy place to have breakfast. read more

In short, deceptively filling food at reasonable-ish pricing. I took my +1 and "little" to a matinee movie next-door, and we thought we would stop here for lunch ahead of time. The place is easy to get to, in the parking garage is right next to it, so no problem there. Bruxie was open and airy, with indoor and outdoor seating. It was a beautiful, cool and breezy day, so we opted to sit outside. We ordered at the counter, and then the food was brought to us. My. +1 ordered the chicken waffles, which came with two large pieces of chicken, a good sized, waffle, and plenty of syrup. We order a smaller kid-sized portion for our Little. I thought I would try the Super Cluck, which was basically a chicken and waffle sandwich, but it came with bacon, an egg over easy, and melted slices of cheddar cheese. I'm not sure that I would order it again because there were other things on the menu that looked delicious, but I was hungry after a workout and wanted all of the proteins. The sliced cheese melted into the waffle was a little weird, but it was I'll filling. Overall, we all ate our fill (and then some), and the pricing was pretty reasonable for what we got. We didn't even have room for popcorn at the movie afterwards! read more

My go to is the Original and a dessert. The waffles are always fresh and crispy. Everything I've had on the menu has been solid so far. The workers here are always friendly and attentive, which makes the experience even better. I especially like this downtown Brea location because they have outdoor seating, and it's such a nice spot to sit, eat, and people-watch since it's right on the corner. Also, I appreciate that they have a sink to wash your hands because eating the sandwich can definitely get messy. read more

Stopped by Bruxie for lunch after not having been here in years and ordered a salad. It was decent for a fried chicken spot, but after eating about 1/3 of it, I found a produce sticker mixed into the salad. I told the waitress, who spoke to her supervisor and offered to remake it, but after already waiting 15 minutes for the salad initially and finding a sticker in the first salad, I declined. Other than a quick apology, there was no offer to comp or refund the salad. Mistakes happen, but the way they're handled matters too. Pretty disappointing experience overall. Kinda gross thinking about how they are handing their produce and cleanliness! read more

Tried Bruxie for the first time and went with the krckin "Nashville " Hot and honestly, so good. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy, and the sauce added the perfect amount of flavor without being too heavy. Love this location, the staff was super friendly, and the space feels modern and stylish. Such a great vibe overall. Definitely coming back for more. Bruxie 215 W Birch St, Brea, CA 92821 read more

This is not the Bruxie I remember. Used to be a go to spot when in town but the menu has changed. They no longer have the turkey waffle sandwich - no idea how long ago they got rid of that. Looks like the menu consists of more bun type sandwich/ burger vs the waffles they were known for. I had the chicken sandwich which was drenched in their honey sauce. It tasted okay but nothing to brag about. Daughter had the egg waffle which had ONE flattened egg in a waffle. For the price you'd think they at least put two. Also got tots which had way too much paprika. Service was just ok - they weren't particularly helpful when ordering. I did enjoy the outward facing seating outside to people watch. read more

I stopped by Bruxie in downtown Brea just to get dessert after dinner, so I didn't try their food at this location. I was walking by and the strawberry waffle immediately caught my eye. Honestly, I originally wanted a smoothie, but the cashier informed me they didn't have any, which surprised me. I'm not sure if it's just a late-night thing or if they stop serving them, but that aside, the strawberry waffle was fantastic. It was fresh and just as good as the one I had at another place, super delicious,! though definitely a calorie bomb. If you're watching your intake or on a diet, maybe skip it, since it's pretty rich in sugar and carbs. But I was really satisfied with the quality. everything was fresh, and the staff were great. The vibe inside Bruxie is really nice. they have a great store layout, and even though when I arrived there was no line, most tables were filled, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Overall, a really nice experience. read more

I ordered the Super Cluck Sandwich, Spiced Tots, and Strawberry Lemonade The Super Cluck Sandwich was AMAZING! I would Highly recommend it, all of the ingredients compliment each other very well. There was just the right amount of maple syrup where it's really just complimenting and not overtaking the flavor. The Waffle was warm, crunchy, and thin, the egg was cooked to perfection, the bacon was not too crunchy and not too soft, and the chicken was breaded nicely and tasted great. I would definitely recommend to order this. The spiced tots are pretty good, they are not overly seasoned, they came out hot and crunchy. Everything you'd expect from some good tots, I would recommend to order these. The Strawberry lemonade was good but overly sweet for me, it leaves a sticky after taste from the amount of sugar, this would be a refreshing drink with less sugar. Definitely make sure to grab some hand wipes (they are provided here at the restaurant) because the sandwich is pretty messy. That's not a deal breaker for me. The ambiance is nice and very casual with good music. The staff is friendly. I'll for sure be back. read more

Been here multiple times but the last time I went here was 10yrs ago. The menu change a lot they only have chicken waffles. I remember before they used to have pastrami waffle, breakfast waffles with egg and etc. the original chicken waffle is really good. The waffles fries is really good very crispy and you can tell it's freshly cooked. Service was okay. The person was taking our order is not friendly and just stand there. Parking is easy . read more

I've been coming to Bruxie for years because, in my opinion, they make one of the best chicken and waffles around. Their seasoning is ON POINT, the waffles are incredible, and for a long time I was happy to pay a premium because the quality and portion size matched the price. When I first started coming here, the Chicken & Waffles came with a huge waffle and two full-sized fried chicken breasts for around $15. It felt like a meal that was worth every penny. Then they reduced it to one full-sized chicken breast for about the same price. I wasn't thrilled, but the food was still so good that I kept coming back. About 3 years ago, they changed it AGAIN to two chicken tenders for an even higher price. The tenders were noticeably smaller than the chicken breast they replaced, but I still came back occasionally because I genuinely love Bruxie's flavor. Today, on National Girlfriend Day, my man wanted to treat me, and honestly this was the most disappointed I've ever been. The meal was $18, and the two chicken tenders I received were significantly smaller than even the tenders they were serving the last time I visited. I've attached photos because I don't want this to sound exaggerated...they really were that small... This review isn't because the food tastes bad. Quite the opposite. The chicken is still seasoned perfectly, the waffles are still delicious, and that's exactly why this is so frustrating. You have an amazing product. My issue is that the value has steadily declined while the price has continued to increase. Over the years, I've watched the portion go from two chicken breasts, to one chicken breast, to two tenders, to now two noticeably smaller tenders, all while the price has climbed. At this point, it no longer feels like I'm getting an $18 meal. I truly hope management takes reviews like this seriously because I'd love to become a regular customer again. I don't want the recipe to change, I want the value to match the quality. I'd happily pay for Bruxie's amazing food if the portion reflected the price, but right now I leave feeling more disappointed than satisfied. I sincerely hope this is something Bruxie reconsiders, because I'd much rather be writing a five-star review than this one. read more

This Bruxie is located in downtown Brea which is a beautiful location with a free parking structure next to it! There's a lot of surrounding activities like movie theaters, desserts and coffee shops. I had the Original which was actually a really good fried chicken and waffle sando - what really surprised me was the sauce which was a syrup + little spicy kick to it. Wasn't too spicy for me, but something to think about if you can't handle spice. Service was good too - it's an order at the front type restaurant but the waitress stepped outside to ask if there's anything we needed. I just advise to clean the tables after people are done, there's some crumbs left over on the tables outside. read more

Bruxie - THE ORIGINAL - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brea, California

It had been a while since last time I was here. I used to love their Holy chicken which is now named super cluck. I was a bit disappointed because it's not as I remembered it. I remember it tasting better and I couldn't pin point what the difference was. The spiced tots were very spicy and had way too much of the Cajun spice as you can see what was left behind. The tots portion was very generous but too spicy for me. We noticed at the end that you can purchase dipping sauces. I wish they would've told us but maybe next time. The staff were nice as usual and were trying to keep the areas clean. They have restrooms onsite and the sink area outside that's very accessible. It is a fast casual ambiance where you order at the register, you get a number and they bring your order to you. The drinks are self service and unlimited refills. There is a parking structure that's super close to the location behind the movie theatre. I'm giving it a 4 star because I do think it's pricey for what you get and the portion does seem to have shrank a little for the holy chicken. read more

Once a year, I'm able to come to this Bruxie location as I volunteer for Operation Christmas Child and their West Coast location is nearby. My daughter and her boyfriend ordered a Spicy Loaded Tots with Chicken and a drink. I ordered a grilled nuggets combo with waffle fries and a drink. Plus, one of my favorites, the Nutella and Banana Waffle dessert. In case you're not aware, this is one of the places that charges for their ranch (80c) per little sample cups size. Overall, the food was delicious. The grilled chicken was pretty bland. Could use some spices in them. read more

My wife and I love bruxie chicken. We often go because we just can't get enough of it. It is one of her favorite spots to go and I can't complain because of how good it is. I mostly get the tenders with fries, extremely soft and tender chicken plus the crunchiest fries ever. read more

Bruxie is my favorite place to eat at. The chicken is always super tender, crispy, and flavorful. The waffle fries are delicious and have THEE best crunch ever. The servers are always so kind and friendly. I also love this location because of their outdoor seating. It has a nice view. I am Bruxie's #1 fan. read more

Bruxie in Brea turned out to be a much more exciting and enjoyable place than I expected, and the moment I walked inside I felt this bright and energetic atmosphere that teenagers would absolutely love. The whole space feels social and welcoming, almost like a natural hangout spot where teens can relax, talk, and enjoy something fun to eat. I saw a lot of teenagers there, and it made perfect sense because the atmosphere has this upbeat feeling that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. The music is pleasant without being overwhelming, the seating feels casual and comfortable, and the overall environment makes it easy for teens to feel free and creative while they enjoy their food. The service at Bruxie adds to that experience in a really positive way. The staff members were friendly and patient, and they treated everyone with the same upbeat attitude that makes the place feel even more inviting. Teens appreciate when they can take their time choosing what they want without feeling rushed, and the workers at Bruxie make that possible. They answer questions with a smile, they move quickly without making anyone feel pressured, and they help create a space where teens can enjoy themselves without any stress. The value at Bruxie is something teenagers would appreciate too. The portions are generous, especially for teens who always seem to be hungry, and the prices feel fair for how unique and creative the food is. It is not one of those places where you walk out feeling like you paid too much for too little. Instead, you feel like you got something special and memorable without spending a lot of money. That balance makes it a great spot for teens who want something fun and flavorful without breaking their budget. The quality of the food is one of the things that surprised me the most. The waffle sandwiches look almost cartoonish in the best possible way, with bright colors and playful presentation that make them perfect for teens who love taking pictures of their food. Everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully made, and the flavors feel bold and exciting. Teens who enjoy trying new things would have a great time exploring the menu because the food feels both familiar and creative at the same time. The selection at Bruxie is another reason teenagers would enjoy it. There are sweet waffle options, savory waffle options, fries, desserts, and drinks that feel fun and different from typical fast food. Teens love having choices, especially when they are in groups, and Bruxie makes it easy for everyone to find something that fits their mood. Whether someone wants something sweet, something salty, something crunchy, or something comforting, there is always an option that feels exciting. I only visited Bruxie once before writing this review, but it quickly became one of the most enjoyable and playful food spots I have been to in a long time. I would highly recommend that teenagers go there because the atmosphere is lively, the service is friendly, the value is great, the quality is impressive, and the selection makes it easy for teens to feel creative and have fun. It is definitely worth the visit. read more

This is Brandon Bremmon. I've had many chocolate shakes in my time. But none like the one at Bruxie. Oh my gosh. This is how a shake.

I've gone here consistently with family and usually the service is efficient and trained, so I can't rate this lower. And maybe it was just a bad day and they couldn't handle a rush, but my experience today was so poor. It took over an hour to get our food (take out) and we checked multiple times to see if they called our name out already. At thirty minutes, we were met with "You guys are next" and another thirty minutes goes by, they said, "Your food is just coming out." Mind you, they never went to check and food boxes were being piled up at the bagging table. Other people were getting their orders even if they ordered after us. So they were just lying to assuage us and not to actually help. The final time we asked, they searched all the bags and couldn't find our order. They scrolled through their tablet and had to scroll to the section that was marked green (which I assume is already served orders) to find what we ordered. Then boxed it. I even saw someone refund their order and others try to cancel their orders because of the wait. And I could tell the workers were getting stressed since they were tossing the red numbers on the counter and tossing stuff in the trash which makes loud bangs. Which isn't their fault, I don't blame them. My advice, don't go here during rush hours read more

Overall, going to Bruxies is a pretty fun experience, as it's a mix of order yourself and service where the staff will bring out your orders. The waffles are super crisp and yummy, especially the strawberry creme Brulee waffle which I get every time. I love that there is plentiful parking in Brea downtown, and overall, the area just has a cheerful and welcoming atmosphere. Will be back for waffles soon! read more

Came in on a weekday for lunch and it was pretty empty. Service was friendly and lots of seating is available. You order at the register and they bring your food to you. Prices are on the higher side for a sandwich and tots. What I Ordered: -The Original Sandwich: This is their classic fried chicken sandwich with coleslaw and is served on a waffle. The chicken has a great chicken to breading ratio and is so flavorful. There's a bit of a spice to it along with a sweetness because of the honey/syrupy sauce. The coleslaw provides a crunchy texture and mutes the savoriness of the chicken as well. The waffle is crispy and buttery! This is a very solid waffle sandwich for sure. 5/5 -Spiced Tots: The tater tots aren't very spicy at first but when you keep eating them, they do get pretty spicy. But crunchiness is perfect and seasoning is a great savory, Cajun kind of flavor. 5/5 -Strawberry Lemonade: This is one of their specialties and I always enjoy it! It's a bit more on the sour side but the sweetness makes it more bearable. You could definitely tell it's fresh and they make it themselves. 4/5 Overall, I always enjoy my food here. They've got consistency, a great variety of options, and quality food. It's just kind of on the pricier side for the portion of food you're getting. Nonetheless, I still really like this place and will continue to eat here when I can! read more

Nice little corner spot in downtown Brea. It's a cute little walk up with seating inside and outside. If the weather is nice, I recommend outside on the corner area to people watch, lol. But the menu is stuffed with goodness. I got the chocolate chip waffle with a side of chicken tenders and it was delicious. And the bruxie sweet tea was a great addition to wash down the goodness!! Food came out nice and fresh plus quick. The lady who took my order gave me time to look over the menu and no rush whatsoever!! Which is great service to me read more

I used to love Bruxie, but my most recent visit was a sign of major decline. I placed an online order and a side of fries was missing. At least the staff sent a gift card after calling. But the chicken that came with the chicken and waffles was sooooo much tinier than it used to be. Compare the photo to older reviews and you'll see a noticeable difference. And charging nearly $18 for such small pieces. Such a shame. read more

We both ordered the Original Waffle sandwich, and as always, the flavor was on point--crispy, savory, and satisfying. The fries were also a standout--crispy, golden, and seriously addictive. The inside seating is a bit limited, and it was a chilly, windy day, so we were lucky to grab a table just as someone was leaving--perfect timing! The atmosphere inside was cozy with great music playing in the background, which added to the good vibes. Big shoutout to the server who helped us--super friendly and kind, which made the experience even better. Bruxie is definitely one of those places we like to treat ourselves to every now and then. They never disappoint, and this visit was no exception. read more

Kiddos picked brunch spot before we hit the road back to SF. Bruxie is a short drive from our hotel. There is a huge free parking structure nearby. Bonus point! Kiddos both picked the original chicken waffle sandwiches. Hubby and I am not too hungry as we had a late dinner. So, we split the jumbo chicken tenders. The tender is moist and flavorful. But I think the star is the waffle fries. Very crispy! Staff are all friendly and courteous. I LOVE their logo. If they have a tote bag, I would totally buy one. A solid chicken and waffle spot. read more

DELICIOUS!! Call me basic but I've been coming here since 2016 And I always get the original chicken waffle sandwich. The original comes with fried chicken, coleslaw, and spicy honey. I personally give it 10/10!!! My husband got the grilled chicken ranch blt, comes with bacon lettuce grilled chicken tomatoes and a drizzled ranch and he gave it 9/10. We got the angry Mac and cheese and that's a 1000/10 so cheesy and flavorful with bacon bits and a little spice. My nephew got the strawberry waffle and said it was crunchy and good. The employees were very friendly and very informative with the options. The restaurant plays current music in a way it's not too loud and enjoyable. The cooks are friendly as well when I mentioned my peanut allergies they made sure I was safe. read more

We love Bruxie! We've tried most of the OC locations, but hadn't hit up the Brea spot yet. Well we did yesterday and like the others, the Brea location is excellent. I wasn't super hungry so I just had 2 tenders with the tasty Bruxie sauce. As always, the chicken tastes fresh, juicy, and the breading is crisp and well-seasoned.

We came last night around 6:30pm and we were so excited for our chicken and waffles. The service was excellent, the food came out hot and was SO delicious! I really want to highlight Eric- he was very hospitable and tentative from the beginning to the end. Though they got busy at some point, he and the other girl that was working were all around tending to guests and stayed on top of the place being clean. The team overall works really hard, including the kitchen crew since they're the ones behind the real magic of the food. We will be returning soon! Thanks for a great experience! read more

Yum! This place is delicious and the staff is friendly. I brought my baby girl here for a lunch date and we sat outside and enjoyed some sunshine and people watching. We shared our food we wanted more ! The waffle was light (a bit too light ) and the chicken was fresh and juicy and hot. Served with a cute little bottle of maple syrup and a generous dollop of butter on top of the waffle dusted with powered sugar. The Bruxie that we did have in chino hills is gone for some time now and it's sad because I'd go here more. The prices are a bit high in my opinion ($14, not including drink) but the quality is there. Will be back if ever in the area! read more
