Food: Great quality waffles and creative selection. I have tried the Wild Mushroom, Prosciutto, and the Salmon and Dill waffles. All great tasting. Portion size isn't very filling, and you may need to order a side or possibly another waffle to fill you up. (Which may amount to at least $15). Atmosphere: The restaurant is small, with few seating, but is at a good location for foot traffic and if you want a quick bite to eat (gourmet style). Price: $$$. I think is a little much for the amount you are getting. Because of this, I would choose to go to this place less frequently than I would want to. Perhaps if the prices were a tad lower, it would be more affordable - even for the college kids at Chapman University. Overall - Great food, great staff, all friendly. I would definitely come back here. TIP: DON'T JUST PARK ANYWHERE. ORANGE CITY IS STRICT WITH PARKING VIOLATIONS ESPECIALLY NEAR THE UNIVERSITY. :) read more

Finally had that chance to stop by for brunch! I was fortunate enough to beat the crowd, but be prepared to wait 15-20 minutes. You can't go wrong with the basics on the menu. The fried chicken waffle is their best item and definitely worth the try if it's your first time. The portions aren't too big, so I'd recommend getting the creme brulee as well. I also tried the roast beef special, but I don't share the same enthusiasm as with the fried chicken and waffle. The first few bites were good, but overall it was too greasy and heavy for me. The service was wonderful that day. Everyone was friendly and on top of their game. read more

Why didn't I think of this! So I looked this place up and read all the great reviews. After a nice long hike on Saturday and antique shopping in orange we finally reached this place. Now mind you we were starving after the hike and the line is LONG here. There is no bathroom around so we had to walk to another place with a bathroom and then come back. Guess what the line was even LONGER!! OMG it is worth the wait though. The line is long but the staff there are very efficient. They first walked and handed everyone a menu so you can start to decide on what you want. Then they came back picked up the menu and wrote down your order on a ticket so when you get to the cashier you just pay. GOOD THINKING!!! My husband was bent on the Salmon with dill waffle sandwich and I couldn't choose between the wild mushroom and goat cheese and the buttermilk chicken waffle sandwich. So we decided to get all three. OMG delicious!!! All three and guess which one my husband liked the most???!!! The wild mushroom and goat cheese.... I gladly shared there was more than enough. I have to say all the sandwiches were absolutely fantastic. The waffles were crispy and soft not oily at all. The filling was all cooked to perfection so it is really up to what you feel like. You really cant go wrong. Their strawberry lemonade is sooo delicious!!! read more

Corner waffles fulfilling any flavor you desire! There is a reason the line is always down the street. read more

Bruxie - Best customer service!!!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Orange, California

This place is AWESOME!! friendly staff, most of all unique and original food!! Must try for all foodies!! read more

After friends giving it so much praise I thought I get it a shot. Location is nice and quiet right next to Chapman University only downside is that there isn't any restrooms. Its a very hip place to eat, it seems like people from all walks of live are here to get some good grub. The prices are affordable. I got the chicken and waffles, people told me it was the best thing ever, I on the other hand thought it was ok but what really got me was the old fashion sodas and shakes which I thought was excellent. Location: 4 stars quiet/cool atmosphere but no restrooms and outdoor seating only Food: The chicken waffle is average, a nice variation from the usually soul food version. The drinks are excellent I recommend the old fashion sodas and shakes. I will definitely have to check the other things on the menu but for now I give it a 3.5-4 read more

The 45 minute drive from Los Angeles was worth it! I had the pastrami sammie and my buddy had the pulled pork AND the floats were yummy as well. We will be returning really soon to try the other good stuff. The service was quick and after a few minutes of gobbling down our food, one of the employees asked us if we needed anything. Parking was easy, but I imagine it would be nuts on a weekend. Probecho! read more

Heard about it, and decided to go today. I must say, I was absolutely impressed with the place, especially with their customer service; it seems as if they're 100% happy all the time. Ordered the Irish Nachos with the Buttermilk Chicken Waffles, which was delicious. I think I was in love with the chicken; I don't know what's in it, but whatever it is, it was yummy. I had to order some for my Little Brother, who literally finished it in 5 minutes. Altogether, this isn't going to be my last visit. Most definitely going again. read more

Went here about 3 weeks ago with my daughter and sister. Tried the Prosciutto & Gruyere and I must say it was tasty. My sister had the Wild mushroom and arugula, also tasty (a lot of arugula though). Daughter got the Bruxie burger and that also was good. We also had the Lemon Cream & Berries which was delightful, we all loved this one. Then the reason why I took 2 stars off... we got the strawberry creme brulee... WITH A LONG BLOND HAIR IN IT......... (we are all brunettes)... GAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!! Not good at all and just thinking about it makes me want to VOMIT! I have really wanted to go back but I hate hair in my food! Maybe one day... but for now I'm OK! read more

Freakin amazing. Green eggs and ham. Ham eggs and arugula pesto. jesus, i think i can die now. Also, the lemon creme and berry was to die for. srsly, i can end it all here. LOVE LOVE LOVE this place so much that i didnt mind the 15 minute wait just to order. I will be coming back asap! read more

See all

Awesome, clever, delicious. Brilliant even. All quality meats & cheeses. The Hot Pastrami sandwich was no less than AMAZING, and I love that the waffle does not fall apart when you eat it (I hate sandwiches that fall apart.) The "Bold Fold" indeed! My husband inhaled the Fig & Prosciutto. He would not let me have more than a nibble of a taste, but the small morsel packed a big wallop of flavor. Waffle fries were crisped perfections of goodness. Sodas are "old fashioned" and listed as "cola, diet cola, lemon-lime" (no label soda at all.) I recommend the vanilla cream. I am so impressed with this place, that I'm planning to take my father when he visits us. It's a 30 mile drive from Los Angeles, but totally worth the gimmick. P.S. They don't have bathrooms on site, but they can point you to the nearest bathroom to use, which is in the large white building (a university dorm, perhaps?) caddy-corner from Bruxie. A very short, teeny-tiny walk and worth knowing if you plan on guzzling down their cane-sugar sodas! read more

One of the few establishment I have bookmarked for far too long. One random day my yelp buddy and I decide to go, Surprisingly its her first time also. Bruxie is an outdoor restaurant and is located across from Chapman University. Why is this important? Well Chapman charges students for parking thus parking is scarce here during lunch rush hour. I luckily found parking on the street next to the restaurant. However you are required to have a residential parking permit also. Luckily Where I sat I can see if campus security or local law enforcement are approaching my car. I wanted to try the Fried Chicken and waffles here like everyone has mention about however we end up getting the two sandwiches that were "Seasonal" Albacore Tuna Waffle Sandwich: The waffle itself wasn't as crispy as I imagine. The tuna it self was at room temperature. I hope this is not the case in how they store their tuna. Pastrami Sandwich: Was the better of the two sandwiches. It was moist and tender. The seasoning of the pastrami complements the waffle. Creme Brulee Sandwich: Not the typical creme brulee taste you would expect. The custard/strawberries/and cinnamon made it a scrumptious dessert to have after downing them other sandwiches. Waffle Fries/Soda Pop: Waffle Fries was nothing too special however the soda pop is made of real cane sugar. You can really taste the difference compare to the usual soda pop you get from a bottle or fountain. This place overall was okay. I probably wont comeback because of the sub par food and horrible Hollywood/LA like parking. read more

My friend Clarissa suggested we try this place out. She had tried to come here once before but it was too crowded. With that said... get here before 11:30am! Lunch crowd starts then....and the line gets exceptionally long! The staff are very helpful & friendly. You can tell they like working there. Which says a lot about the owners! I tried the prosciutto & gruyere waffle sandwhich thingie...& my friend Clarissa tried the smoked salmon & dill waffle. I only finished half before I got full.. it was tasty & light. Clarissa really liked hers... she finished it all. Lol This location has outdoor seating only. oh! And THREE parking spots! So find public parking near by. Also...make sure you ask the staff to turn on the fans....so you aren't accidentally sharing your food with "flying customers" I'm giving it 3 stars simply cuz I haven't tried enough from their menu yet! read more

Alright I caved from all the pressure of the hype on this place and decided I HAD to try it. Got everybody's recommendation: the fried chicken in a waffle thingy. Also ordered the prosciutto & gruyere in a waffle thingy. First off, WTF I thought this was an actual restaurant. Man was I surprised when I showed up and it's just a little sandwich stand a la Tommy's Hamburger style. Seats? Fuhgeddaboudit! I did manage to swoop on a table but had to stand and eat. Kind of cool that they have servers bring out your food to you, but in a business sense, save money, cut the server so I don't pay like $8 bucks for a little waffle sandwich. First up: Fried chicken and waffles sandwich. Fried chicken: good. Waffles: good. So maybe fried chicken + waffle = really good? Yeah, I liked-ed it! Chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned correctly. Next up: Prosciutto & Gruyere. One bite and I'm in love. What can I say, I'm a slut for ham & cheese. Overall, the food is definitely good but a bit on the pricey side for the portion you get. Skip the waffle fries, there's nothing life changing about them. Does it live up to the hype? Nope. But it's definitely some good food though. PROTIP: Don't park in the neighborhood. It's permits only. I found out the hard way. $54 parking ticket ;'( DAMN YOU CITY OR ORANGE!!!! read more

Some places impress me, and then there's other places that REALLY IMPRESS me. Everything I tried here was so delicious from the waffle sandwiches, to the iced caramel latte, to the desserts. I was deliciously surprised at how flavorful the Roasted Mushroom & Goat Cheese Waffle Sandwich was, which was notably my favorite of all 3 I tried. Can't go wrong with Bacon, Egg & Cheddar for breakfast, and the Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Waffle is a classic. If I had more space in me I would've tried everything on the darn menu! I definitely recommend everybody to go out of their way to try this place. Yeah, it was THAT GOOD. Only drawback is waiting in line outside in the hot sun. Fortunately they have water misters cooling you down, plus they serve you your food while you wait in the shade. In the end I can definitely say, THIS HITS THE SPOT! read more

Who knew a waffle sandwich would become the next biggest CRAZE? Well Bruxie has proved it to be the next big thing with their chicken sandwich and burgers. Heck even their peanut butter and jelly is good. Don't forget to add some egg to your sandwich to make it taste even better. The only complaint I hear is that the the price is steep and that one sandwich doesn't fill you up. My solution to that is to get the burger or chicken sandwich to fill you up. I've met the owners and they are some AWESOME dudes. Told me how they came up with the idea, name etc etc. COOL SPOT for a date and then walk around the Orange Circle after you eat. read more

This place blew my mind!! Stood in line for a quick 20 minutes while drooling over the menu, thankfully the food was well worth the wait. My husband ordered the chicken waffle sandwich (with extra maple syrup) while I ordered myself the mushroom and goat cheese waffle (added the sun dried tomatoes too!) Seating was a difficult situation, especially with my 2 year old scrambling for her nutella and banana waffle, but we managed to snag a seat. Overall we will definitely be back to dine at Bruxie again, this place totally changed our mind on what makes a sandwich good. read more

Yah, definitely a fan. Tried it for the first time. Buttermilk Waffle with Fried Chicken and slaw Bruxie Burger Waffle Strawberry Creme Brulee. Coffee was good but could be hotter on a super cold night!!! read more

If i were just reviewing the pulled pork sandwich, Bruxie would absolutely get 5 stars. BUT, i've tried a few other things off the menu & they aren't nearly as mind blowing. The Pulled Pork waffle sandwich is seasonal, but the owners should really re think that one because it is the best thing they have!! The bacon, egg, & cheddar: 3.5, the gruyere & proscuitto: 3.5, the smoked salmon & cream cheese : 4 stars. The fried chicken & waffle is a bit dry. It has great flavor, but needs a lot of honey to get it to slide down your throat. 3 stars. The pastrami: great quality meat, great flavoring, but it is SO incredibly salty. A sweet must follow this sandwich. 4 stars Make your meal a combo. I love the waffle fries w/ a vanilla cream soda (pure cane sugar) from here. If you still have room for dessert, I recommend trying the strawberry creme brulee or a soft serve frozen custard. YUMMY! read more

Buttermilk chicken and waffle sandwich with blue agave dipping sauce=Bomb! Creme Brulee waffle with caramelized bananas=Bomb! If lived closer to this place I'd go everyday. read more

I've been here twice now and both times were delicious. It's a small hut that you order from and they have a small patio area where you can eat the food. It's on Glassell over by Chapman. There is generally a line, but it moves quickly. The staff there is always very friendly Unfortunately due to building restrictions, there isn't a restroom and the dining area is somewhat small, but most people are respectful of that and leave once they're done eating. Both times I went with the gf and we got two savory sandwiches, an order of fries, a sweet sandwich, and two drinks. Admittedly that's probably more food than what's needed. I think we could have split a savory and have been fine. Prices are generally $6-8 a sandwich. I've now tried: Fries: Very good waffle fries Savory: Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Waffles -Good, the honey/chili sauce that goes on it is quite tasty Prosciutto & Gruyere -Amazing, like a delicious grilled cheese with a bit of prosciutto to add to it Smoked Salmon & Dill Cream Cheese -Good, tasty Reuben (Seasonal) -Very good, but extremely hearty/filling, a bit oily though Lobster roll (Promotional) -They had this one for the Super Bowl (they also had a NY steak sandwich). It was enjoyable. Lots of lobster, could have used a bit more sauce though. Worth noting that it was twice as expensive. Sweet: Ogura Bruxie -Good, gf liked it a lot, but I'm not the biggest fan of red bean Nutella & Bananas -Also incredible, the Nutella, sweet cream, and layer of banana go great with the waffle Smore Bruxie -Rather tasty as well The food really is quite delicious, with so many good things on the menu I encourage you to go with at least one other person so that you can share and get a taste of everytying. read more

It's so good! Location is great (Old Towne Orange) though parking can sometimes suck when it's crowded. I'm a vegetarian so the choices are limited for me but when I did try the Roasted Mushroom & Goat Cheese, I was in heaven! I could see why it gets the hype. The waffle batter is really light so it gives great texture as I'm eating all the mushroom and arugula! The fries are great too :) The other one I've tried is the Seasonal Creme Brulee (Strawberry) and Buddha, that was heaven! I loved it definitely and the saddest part was when it was all gone! :( read more

It's a permanent stand (can it be called a building?) with partially-covered outdoor patio seating and another section of tall table seating nearby with heat lamps. Really random, but delicious. You order at the window, find a seat, and they bring your waffle sandwiches to you after you've barely sat down from getting water in a cup. Three of us ordered 5 waffles: fried chicken, salmon with dill cream cheese, bruxie burger, pulled pork (daily special), and strawberry creme brulee. There wasn't one that we didn't like although the chicken was my favorite. My buddy loved the creme brulee waffle so much that she dissected it in an effort to learn how to recreate it at home. Good luck on that one. We parked near the circle on Chapman and walked there. read more

I ordered the fried chicken waffle, the chicken had some cajun dry spice that wasn't good. The waffle was yummy, the right crsipiness. No restroom on the premise. read more

Doesn't taste bad, but for $12 I expect to get more than a waffle with peanut butter + jelly on it and a drink . . . complete rip off and overrated. The staff are obnoxiously friendly and the manager is always lurking around and asking how your food is (not because he/she actually cares, but because they must). You can tell when people are genuinely interested in their customers and when it's just one big formula. read more

This is THE place that got me to fell in love with waffles. Before, i wasn't a waffle fan at all. To me, they're not much diff than eating cereal for breakfast, but after trying this place- i really started to like waffles. . Unfortunately, I'm a picky guy, so I usually don't bother eating waffles made from other places. Bruxie is the only place that i tried where their waffle taste so fluffy and nice. Even after refrigerating it and eating it the next day, it still taste pretty good. The waffle i recommend would be their fried chicken waffle. . despite being a very busy place. Their servers are all pretty great. They're trained well and generally very polite and courteous. 2 thumbs up! :) read more

I really like how they had everything with waffles, it was different and yummy! I had the chicken and waffles one (the honey sauce makes it sooo good) and their cheesy bruxie (this one was only okay, I got it with ham too and it was just average). I wasn't really feeling the outdoor environment and it's a small place, maybe because it was a little chilly when I was there. The warming heaters outside are more for looks than for warmth. read more

I have been seeing advertisements about this place through my work place and I thought I give it a try given all the great reviews. It is located in a corner on the north part of Old Town Orange. Finding a parking or seat could be a challenge. It is like an In-N-Out type of location without the drive through. Back to the food review, I tried their famous buttermilk fried chicken & waffle and it was great. The fried chicken like everyone else is talking about is moist and crispy. The waffle is definitely different, less heavy, crunchy, and it does hold the fried chicken in place. The syrup makes it tasty, but I think I'll want to add that extra maple syrup next time to make it even better. I also tried their special menu item that they don't always carry, the braised beef short rib, and it was okay. It does overpower the waffle a bit and little on the dry side for me. People are saying the pulled pork is excellent, but it was not offered at the time. I think I'll come back again another time to see if they have it. The guy who worked there said the flavor of the braised beef short rib is pretty much like the pulled pork. I still want to try it myself to see since beef and pork does have different flavors and texture. Wait and see... read more

tried this place after hearing SO much hype, not sure why though. It was good, but not as good as I got my hopes up to be! I had the chicken and waffles and def enjoyed it, but wouldn't make the trip out there again just for it. read more

What I appreciate most about this place is the lightness of the waffle. I'd come back just to get the waffle itself with a side of maple syrup and call it i a meal. Got the following items and shared them among friends: 1. Butter Milk Fried Chicken and Waffle - I recommend ordering the extra side of maple syrup for $1. 2. Pulled Pork Waffle - This is one of their specials. We were told that they normaly sell out of the item by 3pm. Normally I'm not much of a pulled pork person but with the tenderness of the pork made it a hit. 3. Soft Served Frozen Custard - Smooth and not too sweet. If you have room in your stomach, do give it a try! read more

OK, so I didn't want to order the chicken waffles this time because I wanted to avoid the sticky fingers plus I thought the prosciutto and gruyere was better....and once again it didn't disappoint. It taste really damn good when you throw some siracha on it, but sadly I feel like you would have to order more than one sandwich, I would not recommend coming here on an empty stomach on a budget because a waffle sandwich is about 8 bux. parking sucks restrooms are across the street at Chapman U. read more

My husband, roommate and I have only been talking about coming here for the better part of 6 months. We finally did today. It was a beautiful day so the drive from south county to here was pretty enjoyable. Old Town Orange is really pretty and a great sight to see. Parking is pretty rough, but we found a spot and got in line. The line for food wrapped around the building. I had heard it was busy but hadn't really anticipated the line being so long. It was worth the way though. The customer service is great. Someone greeted us when we first got into line. We were handed a menu and given some time to look over it. After we had a chance to look at it the girl came back and asked if we had questions. She gave some great info and suggestions. The service at the window was great too. Then when we got our food, they forgot my husbands fries but they were super quick to get them out to him. My husband had their pulled pork special and we also ordered the S'Mores and banana/Nutella. I didn't have any of my husband's pulled pork but he devoured it. He said it was a good sandwich. Both of the sweet sandwiches were soooo good. Very satisfying. read more

I just have to say this would be kind of one of the places you need to eat before you die cuz it was fairly new for me. It Suggested by my x-gf. however, it would be a good idea to dine in and eat it right there. read more

Waffle sandwiches? The OC definitely look a page from the Roscoe's Chicken n Waffles playbook and it surprisingly paid off. You wouldn't think it, but its actually pretty decent. I got the chicken waffle sandwich as well as the bruxie burger, and both were extremely delicious. They're both a little bit on the pricier side, but considering the novelty, actually tasted delectable. The only drawback to this place is the long line. Also, they don't do phone orders, which is a very strange restriction. I needed to get an order to go, and had to queue up like everyone else eating there, resulting in a 15-20 minute wait. Definitely not fast food, but worth it nonetheless. read more

the strawberry lemonade is the best i've ever had. the fries with cheese and bacon and other stuff is AMAZING.. and the sandwiches are out of this world. I cant wait to go back again. read more

Bruxie - Irish nachos, smoked salmon sandwich, mushroom and arugula sandwich, and strawberry lemonade - Sandwiches Near Me - Orange, California

I was kind of iffy about this place.... Saw a lot of review here n there but mehh you just got to try the place for yourself right? First of all parking is way to small you have better luck finding parking in the streets. This place has some class its like a high class fancy fast food joint LOL. To be honest it had a nice little vibe to it with its tacky little style it had going with it. As we get there no line what so ever but then suddenly after we order DAMN hueMONGO line just appeared so I was like this place must be good.. Uhhh man service here was sure friendly I was a bit overwhelmed by how kind these people are!! Kinda freaked me out a bit... Well the hommie got the buttermilk fried chicken, his lady got the bruxie burger and I had the salmon one. Ugh...So I wasn't so pleased with my meal haha... I was giving it too much hope I guess but the hommie gave me a 3rd of his and I gave him a some of mine to trade... Let me tell you some thing peps if you want to get your socks rocked just get the BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN AND WAFFLE!! With extra maple syrup of course ") After the first bite felt like all my teeth was doing the rain dance making my mouth water down like a water fall...... Just eating a 3rd of that buttermilk fried chicken and waffle made me in love with the place. Oh well I still need to try the sweets here looks very tastey.... BUT yess... I SOO AM A FAN!! read more

Oh man...love, love, love this place. If I lived closer, I'd go more often. Only thing is parking is a little difficult (but not impossible). Also, no restrooms available. Had to use the college bathrooms nearby. Here for the food! Good customer service, great food, and though simple seating, it worked! What makes this place significant was it's combination of creativity and deliciousness into a meal. They serve all types of meals with...waffles! My girlfriend had a tuna melt waffle. I had a grilled cheese waffle (which was eh but worked). Got some waffle fries. And, topped it off with a waffle smore! Would recommend this place to friends and definitely planning on returning. :) Thanks for the recommend, Lisa! read more

I absolutely love Bruxie! Try the green eggs and ham! Only complaint... seating isnt all that great. read more

PROS: Good and interesting food combination (didnt think that a hamburger with waffle would be good but it was), Waffle fries are good but i really wanted the irish nacho. CONS: Not liking the seating and parking situation (cramp and you should just park on the side street to avoid their parking lot). This place is starchy goodness ..i will be back to try more stuff. read more

This place is amazing. It's always busy, the lines are long most of the time, you will have trouble finding a place to sit, and you will have an amazing time. I love going here and you may see me standing in a line here on a sunday morning. I love eating the roasted mushroom bruxie. I came here today on my day off for lunch and I had a great time. The strawberry lemonade really is delicious. I would recommend taking anyone here, as they have food for everyone. The staff is courteous and friendly. They zoom around the place and there is even free water outside for you to help yourself to on a hot day. The waffles are very delicious and I would recommend it to anyone. read more
