Bruxie is a quaint place to visit by the Orange Circle and right across from Chapman University. With the variety on their menu, there's a waffle sandwich for everyone. I can bring my mom here, boyfriend, sister, friends, anyone. I love coming here early for their breakfast waffle even though it gets kind of crowded. If you're a local, I suggest stopping by every now and then because their seasonal sandwiches adds a little fun to their menu. My favorite seasonal sandwich is the strawberry creme brulee waffle, yum :) Pulled pork is a good one too. read more

*Hey, leggo my....* Upon passing by Bruxie's on the way to Felix's Cafe I was instantly intrigued. I, like many others, love waffles. My friend that was in the car with me told me that he had heard of Bruxie and told me that they have sweet and savory waffle combos. I'm a fan of mixing sweet/salty/savory and all that other stuff. So I knew that this place was an inevitable stop in the near future. Upon arrival we already knew we were gonna have to park down the street, because the parking here is VERY minimal. My friends and I came here for our lunch break around 1:30pm. We were anticipating that it might be crowded due to the fact that it's across the street from Chapman University. Luckily for us the line wasn't wrapped around the building. It does that sometimes. The two of them ordered the chicken and waffle combo. Bruxie also has a seasonal menu from which I ordered the braised beef. My sandwich had roasted beef, bleu cheese crumbles, and some horseradish. It came with a sauce that seemed to be made from the reduced juice from the beef. My sandwich was full of flavor, and very tender. I had a bite of my friend's chicken sandwich and was glad I did. The chicken had a crispy crust, and the meat was moist and not overly cooked. They serve coleslaw and a chili honey sauce on the side. The consistency of it was actually more syrup like. My friend added the sauce and the coleslaw to the sandwich. It was a brilliant idea!!!! The very next day half our office wanted to try Bruxie after hearing us talk about it. This time I got the chicken and waffle, so I could enjoy it in all it's chicken n waffle-y goodness. I too added the slaw and chili honey sauce. The cool slaw added a nice crunch to the delicate waffle, and the chicken and chili honey hit it off like a good episode of Blind Date. The flavors are simple and complex at the same time. I truly enjoyed them. The next time I go I'll be sure to try a sweet waffle for dessert. The waffles alone are very delicious. They're soft, but not soggy. They're not hard like the one's you'll find in the frozen section of your local grocer and I mean AFTER you heat them up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Located right across the street from the Chapman University this place was so crowded when I was driving by and had to park across the street in the residential area. After waiting in line for about 20 minutes in the HOT burning sun ... ask me whether if the Fried Chicken Waffles was worth it? Yes! I think it was worth it. Probably not the sunburn ... but as far as uniqueness of the food goes, absolutely. Sodas are made from sugar cane so it will taste really different. If you are not too hung up by time and have the time and leisure to wait in line and possibly may not end up with a seat, and OK with eating your food while standing!~ then, this place is certainly worth a try. I probably won't be going there just for this.. but since I was in the area... it wasn't a bad choice at the time. Oh! make sure you get the $1extra syrup with your waffle. read more

Been to Bruxies many times and have tried most of the sandwiches there. The green eggs and ham is my all time favorite, there is a pesto sauce in it that just takes it to the next level. If you decide to go here I suggest getting the chicken waffle sandwich first sicne that is their signature dish and also to get a bottle of syrup to go a long with it. It's pretty good. read more

I have no idea whats the hype about this place? maybe cause all the youngster go, and it'll make you look cool if you go too? Ordinary waffles, bland taste, nothing special. Oh yeah, overpriced. Save your money. First and last. Never coming back. -Honest reviewer. read more

I'm so sad.. I bookmarked this place because of all the great reviews. I came here on a Saturday morning and was surprised at how it wasn't an actual restaurant but more of an outdoors dining with a limited space of seats because of the long line of people waiting to order. I thought the concept was cute and nifty, but we almost had to resort to eating in our car because there was no space. Excited by the ample amount of people waiting in line, I decided to order the chicken & waffle. I had the preconcieved notion that it would taste like Roscoes Chicken & Waffle (YUM), but was dissapointed when I learned that the waffle would be drizzled in a sweet syrup instead of gravy. So I take my first bite and I'm ecstatic. I take two or three more bites.. I'm slowing down. I'm starting to get bothered by the sweet syrup on my chicken. Sweet food does not do it for me. I'm starting to feel queasy from the greasiness.. I take a bite out of my boyfriend's Bruxie burger which is absolutely delicious - and this is coming from a girl who hates burgers.. Yup! Even Inn N' Out. Anyway, I don't know.. I really want to come back here because of all the great reviews. The feeling the food gave me was.. just no buena para ti. read more

Love!! Great vibe! Super yummy EVERYTHING. I wish we would have gone here more than once during our stay.

For OC it's about par. When it comes to Chicken and Waffles.....this place can no way be compared with the Original Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles in South Central LA.(Normandie and Manchester) Bruxie's Chicken and Waffles couldn't hold a candle to Roscoe's Chicken Meat which is by far more superior. However all the other food is quite good. Love their home made sodas too. A lot of college kids here and the "UTES of AMERICA" dwell here. Parking can be terrible at times. Would go here again if in the area and maybe if we had outta town guests and took them to Old Town Orange. We had to give this place a go since we saw a review on it in the SO CAL Auto Club Magazine (Westways). So now we can say "Been there done it". Kinda miss the cheeseburgers, fries, and shakes that you could order here a couple years ago when it was a little Mom & Pop Burger joint serving the Chapman University Students across the street. Oh well..progress I guess. read more

It's no Roscoe's, but Bruxie still serves up a mighty tasty fried chicken and waffle sandwich. I was worried that the portion would be too big and I'd leave bloated and regretful, but it was actually the perfect amount of food. The only thing that could have been better was a little more sauce for the chicken -- the chicken itself wasn't dry, per se, but the whole thing could have used a little more sauce. The fresh lemonade was fantastic. My dining companions ordered a wide variety of both sweet and savory waffles and everyone seemed pleased with their food. The wait/parking can be kind of a pain in the butt if you come at the wrong time, and seating is limited, but the staff is super friendly and keep the food coming out quickly and efficiently. read more

We drove 30+ miles to try Bruxie, so it was extremely disappointing when we got there and realized that the "restaurant" was actually a corner store with only outdoor (and very limited) seating. It reminded me of The Hat (http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-hat-alhambra), but in a quaint neighborhood. Chapman University is located right across the street, so when you see it, try to find street parking. The first thing I did when I jumped out of the car was run to Bruxie and ask for a restroom (again, it was a very long drive on the 5 freeway)...and they directed me across the street. What kind of restaurant doesn't have its own restrooms and sends their customers to a nearby school to use their bathrooms?! We came back after washing up, and the line somehow got longer. It was a weekday, but the place was still pretty lively. I could only imagine what Bruxie would look like on a weekend. I saw an employee handing out menus to customers so that it would make ordering go by faster and easier since customers knew what they wanted to order by the time they got to the register. I never received one, but it was okay because the menu was quite visible regardless. We ordered a soda ($2.50), the Bruxie burger ($6.95), and the seasonal créme brulée ($6.50) after a 5 minute wait in line. Luckily for us, a couple had just finished eating when we ordered, so we parked our butts at a nearby table and watched the cars and people stroll by as we waited for our food. Less than 10 minutes later, my ex's name was called. The employee standing at the pick-up window handed him the food, and my ex walked back to our table with almost a drool hanging out from the side of his mouth. I've been REALLY dying to try Roscoe's, but I figured Bruxie would be better given its bizarre menu twists. So when I bit into my sweet "gourmet waffle sandwich," I expected something amazingly out-of-the-ordinary good. What I got was a burnt waffle topped with powdered sugar that smelled slightly off. I understand that créme brulée involves burnt sugar, but I don't understand the burnt waffle. The vanilla créme was delicious though, and it wasn't too sweet or overpowering. The strawberries were perfect -- not too sour and not too sweet. My ex's Bruxie burger looked like a legit burger but instead of a burger bun, the patty, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, etc. were on a waffle. He commented that it was nothing special, but it was filling enough so that he didn't want dinner a couple of hours later. The cup of soda was half filled with crushed ice, so it's safe to assume that it wouldn't have lasted us through the meal. It did however, but only because of the taste; we didn't enjoy the "old fashioned pure cane sugar" part. So to sum it all up, The good -- Appealing and extensive menu, the location of Bruxie in Old Town Orange The bad -- The price, the drive, and (don't kill me) mediocre food. Farewell, hyped-up Bruxie! I won't be back. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but I think it's a bit over-rated. The fried chicken waffle sounded really good in theory, but was really dry and lacking flavor. The chili honey sauce and slaw they included didn't add much in terms of texture or taste. The smoked salmon & dill cream cheese was better because it was actually moist and flavorful. However, I still don't think it's worth the long wait, the hassle of finding parking, the standing around eating it (due to the limited seating), or the $9+ price tag. After spending ~$20 (including a drink), I have to say I was not too pleased. With all that being said, maybe I'm just not a fan of savory waffles and I might give one of their dessert waffles a try. read more

This is the best spot for waffles and the new trendy waffle sandwhiches. They have seasonal options that are fantastic. My favorite is the Turkey and cranberry waffle. I suggest checking out their deserts as well. They staff is helpful and friendly. read more

A fatty's dream. I've had the Nutella and banana waffle, strawberries and cream waffle, turkey egg and cheese waffle. All of them are amazing. The wait isn't ever ridiculous even on a busy day. The seating is limited so if you have a group is probably best to take it to go. Street parking is your best best the parking lot holds maybe 3-4 cars. Truly ingenious eatery. read more

Awesome, Delicious, Creative. Great food. Waffle sandwiches have a sweet taste but not over powering only downside is sticky hands. Waffle fries excellent. read more

I was hungry and got the mushroom waffle sandwich, it was good...not good like foodorgasminmymouth, but good. I should have gotten something sweet, I think it's because I am not a fan of savory and sweet, haha. I will be back for a sweet delightful waffle. :] read more

3 stars for A-OK So what was my initial reaction upon arriving to Bruxie? " oh my god it's out door seating and it's raining!" Thankfully they had curtains/drapes that shielded the wind while we were dining there. Parking is limited so you may have to park along the streets. We met with friends for dinner around 7 pm, and it was pretty crowded. The order line is outside and you may have to wait a while depending on the time of the day you get there (lets aim for a nice warm breezy day). Once you're done with your order, hopefully, someone/party is leaving a table as there is limited seating. There were some extra tables in the parking lot alongside some bushes but we couldn't sit there because it was sprinkling and cold, even though they had heat lamps near the tables I didn't want to sit outside in the wind. The staff is friendly, the food is mediocre. Our group had the chicken and waffle dish along with the burger waffle dish. The whole plating looks interesting but to see it for what it really was, it was just lightly battered chicken (moist) wrapped in a plain waffle (no flavor) and the components of a burger enclosed with a plain waffle. The food is really filling and I do recommend ordering the maple syrup on the side for the chicken waffle sandwich as it lacked flavor. The burger waffle naturally had more flavor and it was just like a burgor but without the bun. This place is not to replace Roscoes if anyone of you are thinking this. I do have to add that while we were in line, the head chef came out to speak to everyone individually and personally recommended the proscuitto and gruyere waffle to my bf but I was too excited about the chicken and burger waffles that I completely forgot to order this dish. This just means we will have to come back here and give that dish a try. My friend did mention that their desserts were better (based on her previous experience). As for the drinks, they do not offer free refills. I hope whomever reads this review orders something other than the chicken and waffles even though it's the most popular. read more

I really enjoyed the chicken sandwich. I just don't understand why they charge a dollar for syrup?!? I just want a little syrup to dip my waffle into. The bun is a waffle for gods sake!!! It's like going to a wing place that charges for a side of sauce oh wait buffalo wild wings does that too, smh! Where has this world gone!! I'm just waiting for mickey d's to charge for ketchup when you order fries! I'll be back to try the shakes and hopefully I don't get charged for a straw! read more

Ohhhhh Bruxieeee, you soo sexxyyyy~~~~ I have never had chicken and waffles before and was curious to see how the 2 plays together. I have to say Bruxie defintely opened my eyes. The cripsy and juicy chicken breast along with the sweet sauce on 2 toasty waffles was extremely good. Too bad its not available in Norcal. read more

Bruxie was a tremendous let down. The idea of a waffle sandwich is a good, albeit unoriginal one, I was making eggo sandwiches when i was nine, I expected a "gourmet" version to be delicious. After waiting for a few minutes in the line I promptly ordered the prosciutto and Gruyere sandwich. I paid the $6.50 and began the seemingly infinite wait for my food. Seriously, be prepared to wait for your food....it took forever, and like fools we went back and ordered some dessert and again....it took forever. The turn over is terrible. The sandwiches were good not great, my Gruyere was tasty and the prosciutto delicious. The mustard seed was a good accompaniment. The waffle was a bit soft somewhat blending in with the cheese/Gruyere and while not bad, i would have preferred more of a difference in texture. My friends had the burger one and said it was good but not great. Then we ordered the frozen custard and the nutella and banana. Frozen custard is the most boring "dessert" ive ever eaten. Its soft serve with no flavor at all...none...zero. The banana and nutella was another let down, the waffle was cold, soft, banana not very ripe, and the entire sandwich was filled with a very sour tasting cream. Bruxie has a good premise but the execution was a let down! read more

yes yes ohhhyessssss! everything our group had (strawberry cheesecake, salmon and dill, friend chicken, burger, and bacon egg and cheese) was delicious!! wish: I lived closer, and more seating... otherwise, i loved it!!! read more

I was considered going to Bruxie simply due to their unique concept of a waffle sandwich. After reading their menu online, I found that they are not just waffle sandwiches, they are gourmet! I anticipated ordering the Wild Mushroom and Arugula with Goat Cheese, but had the Chicken and Waffle and the Prosciutto Gruyere instead. I will go back and try my original craving another time, as I liked the Bruxie experience. The Chicken and Waffle is very good. The meat is very flavorful and the crunchy coating is well adhered to it. I give this one 5 stars. If you get the same two savory waffles as I did, eat the Proscuitto one first. The flavors are more subtle and complex than the Chicken one, and are easily lost on the palette if you first eat the Chicken one which is smothered in a deliciously strong honey chile sauce. Waffles: light and crispy, better for a sandwich than a really bready breakfast waffle. They get soggy fast, but the sandwich lends itself to being eaten fast so that doesn't really matter. My hubby says they are exactly like Waffle House waffles Service: Excellent! Tons of smiley, happy people who were on the ball...The line was super long, a 15-20 minute wait, but once we paid, our order was up in under 10 minutes. Their menu includes a variety of custard shakes, custards, and coffee drinks which all look very good, too. I'm just not the type of person that typically eats/drinks ice cream or coffee with food. If I lived close to their location, however, I might stop by just for a shake. Definitely a treat. read more

Fried chicken waffle sandwich. Burger waffle sandwich. Creme Brulee waffle sandwich. These 3 are all you need! Okay, given I did not try the other ones. Maybe there are better ones on the menu but these were so good that I would probably get them over and over again. I like that the waffle isn't too sweet but has a nice hint that compliments the savory fillings. The chicken was so incredibly juicy and flavorful... tastes like they fried it in peanut oil or something. The meat patty was in harmony with the right ratio of condiments, melty cheese, lettuce, thinly sliced pickles, and tomatoes. The service is really good here and someone even comes by to talk to you when you're waiting in line to make sure you know what to do. On hot days, the mister is on and it feels awesome. They have plenty of large tables, booth and stool seating. read more

The fried chicken sandwich is my personal fav , but the salmon is a close second , my girl tried the green eggs and ham today that didn't miss , I really haven't had a bad waffle sandwich here yet ... Prolly why I keep coming back read more

In addition to two wonderful and personable owners who converse with almost every customer, the crisp waffle crust is the first layer of pleasure for your palette as you delve into deliciousness. Offering fillings for what is in essence a waffle sandwich, you can choose from sweet or savory items. The SMores and Prosciutto/Gruyere cheese offerings are musts. Peers coffee is served fresh and every waffle is made to order...nothing is premade. Set adjacent to old town Orange, this converted burger stand is manned by friendly staff, a clean kitchen and the recipes are carefully developed. Every creation is a masterpiece...a true gem. read more

i've seen soo many pictures of this place and have been dying to try it! i finally made a trip to LA so i had to make a quick stop to bruxie! hmmmm.! the plan was: my bf and i decided to share and half our sandwiches. i ordered the green eggs & ham and he got the chicken & waffles. what had happen was: mine was sooo good that i didn't wanna share anymore! LOL!! i know i am such a jerk!! i had a bite of his and didn't want to give him half my sandwich anymore pwahaha!!! he was soo mad! aye. i don't mess around when it comes to good food! i am allowed to change my mind! lol. okay but i did feel bad but it was too good and his wasn't as good as mine! ohh i will be here again when i can make a trip back!! yummmm. read more

Very cool spot. Waffle sandwiches have a sweet taste. They do have a decent sized accessible bathroom. Cool outdoor seating too.

Some ideas are just so brilliant you ask yourself why you never came up with it first. Thats definitely how I felt when I heard about Bruxie serving up waffle sandwiches. Be aware that this is a food stand and not an actual sit down restaurant. Seats are limited (most are standing up seats) and parking may be difficult. The chef/owner is European and super friendly. He will often greet you in line to chat and hand you a menu himself. I think the fact he's European shows in his cooking. My party tried both the fried chicken & waffle sandwich (by far their best seller) and the proscuitto hash (special). The fried chicken reminded me more of chicken fingers more than traditional southern chicken. It had more spices and wasn't as crunchy. That didn't mean it wasn't finger licking good though. Inside the sandwich was cole slaw that wasn't heavy and was cut into chunks rather than thin slivers. Super delicious also. The proscuitto hash was hearty and chock full of stuff including a nicely fried egg.The waffle wasn't overcooked and didn't have that floppy characteristic that Roscoe's waffles has. For a side we got waffle fries (ha! get it?) which was very fresh and nicely seasoned. It had a great crunch to it that Chik-Fil-A (the only other place I know that serves waffle fries sometimes lack). For 2 sandwiches, 2 drinks, and 2 waffle fries it came out to $23 which is a tad pricey but oh so worth it! I highly recommend this place and only wish they would open a shop in LA too. And next time you can bet I am going to stuff my face with their desserts! read more

Love this place. Enjoying the day outside with great food. Only negative comment is that there is not enough seating. Food was amazing had the chicken sandwich. Chicken was crispy on the outside and the waffle was not mushy. Perfect. The table also shared a shake. Rich and creamy probably a million calories but worth it. read more

Meh ! I am a vegetarian so maybe they are better with meat? I liked the concept more than I liked the food. Great customer service though and good iced tea. read more

have you ever had a waffle sandwich? if you're answer is no then i suggest you try eating at Bruxie! just becareful their parking lot isn't that big so you'll have to park on the street but make sure you read the signs so you don't get a ticket! Bruxie is delicious their waffles are fresh, with a light crunch it's the perfect waffle with chicken and many more varieties you can choose from. ive had my many shares of waffles but Bruxie seems to be my favorite and i am located in DC! there is out door seating and it's a cute little shack like place, very family friendly or even just for a cute date! they also have waffle fries which are delicious as well! i wish i could post my photo but it won't load, there's enough photos for you to look at though! read more

Bruxie is one of the best things ever created. Excellent service. All the workers are very friendly. Food is delicious and well cooked. I always get the chicken and waffles and it never fails to satisfy me. Nice environment. They even have cool most blowing for those hot days. Anyway fuck yeah. If you're visiting California, you can't turn this place down. read more

The big novelty here is that instead of bread, they use waffles. That being said, it wasn't necessarily a culinary adventure or a new food discovery, and definitely not here to challenge your taste buds. It's a mash of comfort food! They have simple waffle sandwiches with tons of different options. I tried the waffle and chicken, the green eggs and ham and the salmon/lox sandwiches. All were good! The salmon one was especially light and refreshing for summer. There's no indoors, so it's all outdoor, so it's a great place to enjoy a warm, sunny day. read more

Went for brunch as a first timer and can say I will be back. Food was quick and fresh place was clean for being outside a walk up window to order. Love little establishments like these. read more

You've never had waffles like Bruxies. Order anything or everything--the frozen custard dessert is also worth wearing stretchy pants for.

This place is so good it makes me wanna slap my mama and give her one of the fried chicken waffles sandwiches to make her forget my atrocious action. read more

Something different. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the dining area. Very lively and enthusiastic staff. The reason for the 4 stars was due to the wait times. In thhe late morning it gets pretty crowded and you could be waiting for quite sometime if you come at the wrong time. Other than that I highly recommend this place read more

this place is soo good! so far i've only tried the.. -pastrami: possibly my new favorite. pastrami's soo good and comes with cole slaw. not too heavy on your tummy -buttermilk fried chicken: it's pretty good, but not the best thing they have to offer. definitely the most popular though -strawberry creme brulee: i CAN NOT have a trip here without getting this. not too sweet, crispy outside, creamy inside and heavenly. sigghh -gruyere and prosciutto: lots of flavor even though they don't stuff it with very much meat or cheese. won't fill you up though if you're super hungry. -smoked salmon: again, not a lot of stuffing in the waffle, but good if you're feeling something light. the cream cheese goes well with the waffle .. mm.. -bruxie burger: least favorite thing i've tried. just tastes like a regular burger. service here is also good. it's not a sit down restaurant with servers, but they do have food runners bringing your food to you & cleaning your table. read more

I work extremely close to this place and have never gone here til my friend advertised this place to me, and I am glad she did! Waffles with food in the middle. When first I read the menu, I thought "Hmm...Chicken and Waffles? Roscoe's? Ooo different items to try with waffles. Interesting..." My friends and I came here after The Color Run. There was a really long line, but I have to admit, it was worth the wait. I had 3 other friends with me, and it was our first time here. So, we all decided to each order something different to try a bit of everything. We had the: Smoked Salmon & Dill Cream Cheese $7.95 -Ever had a Philadelphia Sushi Roll? Well this definitely tasted like it. They didn't put enough smoked salmon in it. Great for a snack, but not for lunch. Turkey Club $8.95 -Not bad. Can't go wrong with this one. Carolina BBQ Pulled Pork with Slow-Roasted Pork, Cheddar Cheese, Cider Slaw and our own Bruxie BBQ Sauce (SPECIAL so it's a limited time item!!) $8.95 -I know why it's a specialty!! They do not skimp out on the pulled pork and sauce. Definitely a must have. Hot Pastrami Bruxie $7.95 -WOW Super yummy! I usually dislike pastrami. Actually, I hated pastrami. I like to try something at least twice before I rule it out completely...so, I tried it here. The pastrami was not too salty and super juicy! A lot of meat stuffed in middle of the waffle. (mm...craving this right now...) This place is worth standing in line for. People who work here go to you and ask if you have any questions about the menu. Friendly and they reassure that it's worth the wait. After you order, the food comes out quicker than you know it! Try everything on the menu!! You will not be sorry. read more

Yummm!!! This place is so awesome. Loved all three of the things we ordered. We tried the fried chicken and waffles, which was perfectly paired with chili honey and coleslaw. It was so good! Additionally, the waffle fries are a must order! For dessert we had the Nutella and banana waffle and added raspberries. WOW, that was the best part! I would definitely recommend adding the raspberries. Can't wait to come back! read more

i got the pulled pork special.... DONE!!!! you need to come here. waffle sandwiches?! a must!! go here! now!!! before the line gets longer!! read more
