I ordered the 'Holy Chicken' which was the perfect combination of savory and slightly sweet. The chicken and the waffle were perfectly crispy without being over cooked or dry. I also ordered an iced coffee which was perfect. There is plenty of outdoor seating which made for a great place to also bring my pup. The location is also a plus as we were able to walk around downtown stopping in at various shops. read more

Bruxie - Holy Chicken Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Orange, California

Absolutely melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Everything comes with waffles (except for the salad). I ordered the bacon, egg, & cheese waffle sandwich and a hit chocolate while my boyfriend ordered a chicken and waffles sandwich (I didn't get the exact name). First, I thought this would be an indoor seating place, which it is not, and I don't mind that at all considering the weather feels beautiful this morning. The food was great and the people helping us figure out what we wanted to order were great! read more

So delicious! i definitely recommend it to everyone in the area. Service can definitely improve but nothing major

I had their fried chicken with waffle sandwich with fries. It was pretty darn good and went with my girlfriend for her bday week and she hasn't been there herself but I have in the past. Next time I'm in the area I'll probably come back again to this place for chicken and waffles. read more

Food is good, but I wish they tell us how long the food will take. Also keep their hours updated in Yelp during holidays. Parking is limited. But the food is great. I always get their salad. It's not they're know for but it's my favorite. read more

The food was great! Shout-out to Sarafina for great service. Can't wait to go again! read more

Was here for lunch, Kiana greeted us and was very nice and enthusiastic. Helped us out with what to order cause it was our first time. Recommended the buffalo chicken tenders and they were delicious. Definitely coming back read more

My daughter's favorite spot! The chicken is delicious and our go to menu items are the original chicken waffle and chicken tenders. Good portions and great price. And their honey sauce is a must! The waffle is also pretty incredible. Has just the right crunch and texture. The Goldilocks of waffles... "just right"! Maybe one of these days I'll venture off and try something new. read more

One word... Amazing! If in Orange it's a must. Will miss you so much now that my daughter is a Chapman graduate!

They completely changed the menu since the last time I went. I did not even eat half of the sandwich.

Nothing hits the chicken tender craving quite like Bruxie. Go. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing food!! Even better costumer service!!! Best mini date spot or lunch break. Actually...breakfast, lunch, and dinner!!!! Absolutely amazing read more

Bruxie - WAFFLE-CUT FRIES & STRAWBERRY LEMONADE - Sandwiches Near Me - Orange, California

Came here on a Saturday night. It was busy and there was a long line but it was definitely worth the wait. I got The Original and it was delicious. All components were cooked perfectly and seasoned well. It was topped with just the right amount of syrup. It would have been great to wash it down with a beer but oh well. I'll definitely come back to this restaurant but since they have multiple locations, may take advantage of that! read more

I really underestimated Bruxies until today. This place is so damn delicious! We ordered 3 different items to share between the two of us. Roasted mushroom salad--fresh lettuce, deliciously seasoned mushrooms, goat cheese that pairs perfectly with the balsamic vinegar dressing. I salivate when I think back to the first bite! Irish fries--crisscut fries with what seems like a thousand island dressing and chives. It's pretty good but wasn't my favorite. Creme brûlée with strawberry waffle--holy desserts, this one was absolutely amazing. Nice and crispy waffle with a delicious filling of cream and strawberry and powdered sugar on top. This was the one place I actually finished on my own. Couldn't stop eating it! Don't forget to order the fresh orange juice! So refreshing! The total for all of these came out to around $60 and was so worth every penny. Can't wait to come back! read more

The whole entire waffle concept has been booming the past half decade. It seemed all waffle places were a dime a dozen. Then I saw Bruxie with a new waffle...I just had to check it out again. Here was my experience on a Saturday afternoon. AMBIANCE: Parking | Depending on the time of day, it can be pretty competitive. Especially on a weekend when there are community events. There is probably four parking spots on the back and for the most part, street parking. Seating | For a small little place, they were pretty creative with the seating. Basically sheltered seating from stools to standard table setups. The place can house about 20 people. Feels | Downtown Orange sure has its small town charm. Bruxie's is in the corner of Chapman University and down the street of the heart of Downtown Orange. A nice place to people watch. The background is playing your standard top 40. Great place for tourist and people of all ages. FOOD: Nashville Style Fried Chicken Waffle Sandwich (Recommend) I was hoping to get a waffle fused with egg/cheese/bacon mixed in a waffle...but I guess those are served in different locations (See video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxZyQg7wE40) Any, the taste was just as I remembered, delicious. The waffles and chicken was crunchy. The meat was juicy and the syrup provided an additional pleasant flavor. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Pretty gooood. For a small and busy business, my order was received in a timely manner. TL;DR OVERALL 5 Stars. I am happy for this space to see it grow. I remember the line being extremely ridiculous and the restaurant not having any tables. Any who, the price is about right, selections are well varied, and the food is delicious. I highly recommend this place to tourists visiting the area. It's a great overall ambiance and wonderful gem for Orange. TIPS: They do have hot sauce but there is no sriracha or tabasco. read more

Bruxie - The Nashville Fried Chicken and Waffle - Sandwiches Near Me - Orange, California

Fun concept and fun atmosphere! For a waffle and chicken place, neither is very good. Waffle sandwich was soggy and chicken super salty, overcooked, dry. Not for me read more

Nice chicken tenders and fries. I like the sauces too. Haven't tried their waffles but I would go back for the tenders. Nice and crispy with good seasoning. read more

I've generally been happy here. Stopped in a few months back and ordered up a 5 piece strips meal.....my go to when we eat there. Stopped in about a month ago....or should I say we were going to make an order for pickup. I began my order and noticed that the 5 piece is not longer on the menu. My only option was the 3 piece. We chose to go elsewhere as I didn't feel that the cost of the 3 piece was the same value that I got with the 5 piece. Just looking at the online menu now, it looks like it is gone for good. Cost is too high now for what you get. As much as we like the food, we may not go back again. read more

Incredible chicken, customer service, and atmosphere. Nothing more to say. You'll be blown away.

Fried ChickenWaffle Sandwich This spot is bomb wish we had one in The Bay Area. The chef was money.

Yelp Challenge 2016 *updated* One of my favorite dog friendly places to eat in the Orange circle. Face it, if your good to my dog, that's an extra star for you. Bones, belly rubs and water are always available for her. This corner staple near the Orange Circle offers Great food, great people watching. If your lucky you will find close parking. If not, pay attention to signs, its a ticket infested area for sure. Expensive waffle based Sammie's and deserts are their speciality. Starting at about $7.95 a pop. My favorite is their orginal one. Fried chicken breast snuggled into a fresh made waffle, blanketed with a little slaw and drizzled in sweet chilli sauce. Add some bacon and some maple syrup and its a party in your mouth. Its even better paired with waffle fries. My only complaint is, to go orders come already assembled. In the past everything was on the side. So by the time you get home its a hot mess. Ask for sauce and slaw on the side. 2 Sammie's, 1 order of fries and syrup was just under $25.00. A little pricey to me. However their staff is abundant, location is prime. Someone has to pay for that. I am a fan!! read more

Maaaaybe, just maybe, my impression of Bruxie is biased because I had awful food down the street the night before. Or mayyybe, I am actually unbiased, and the hype is real! Whatever the case, Bruxie serves up some darn good waffle sandwiches! My friend and I decided to stop by Bruxie's for breakfast on a beautiful sunny morning. There was parking right across the street, and since they were just opening for the day, there was hardly a line! While we were looking at the menu, one of their workers started talking to us, and I guess they just have someone out in the front to talk to people! Definite plus for friendly, personal service! We ended up ordering a turkey club ($9), the braised beef short ribs ($10), and a chocolate banana shake off the seasonal menu. When I tried a bit of both sandwiches, I couldn't help but pat myself on the back for making an excellent choice. :) The turkey club was so flavorful and fresh, and the waffle was delightfully crunchy and chewy! Yuummm! The short ribs were also good, super tender and tasty. But I prefer the turkey club because it was lighter. The shake was delicious too! Thick, creamy, chocolately, and banana-y - perfect! My one complaint would be that the waffles are WAY too greasy. I felt like fingerpainting with all that oil covering my hands. Blegh. If they can somehow make it less greasy but still this yummy, I would be there all the time! ...maybe it's a good thing they haven't gotten there yet. read more

Excellent waffle sandwiches! I thought the waffle was crispy and light as advertised. The best bet here is their signature buttermilk fried chicken and waffle sandwich, $6.95. The fried chicken was tasty, juicy, not too oily and lightly covered with a sweet honey dijon mustard sauce, layered over a perfectly baked, light waffle shell. Delicious! I passed on adding maple syrup to the sandwich for an additional $1.00. No syrup on my chicken! I never understood the appeal there. My second choice would be their smoked salmon & dill cream cheese waffle sandwich, $7.95. Thinly slice smoked salmon layered with herbal creme cheese, cucumbers and chives. I always enjoy this combination on a warm, toasted bagel and, in my opinion, it works just as nicely on a crispy waffle shell. The sweet, dessert sandwiches, however, were a huge disappointment. I ordered the Liege Waffle with Belgian chocolate and carmelized pearl sugar. The Beligain chocolate was cold, too thick and the waffle shell was rock hard and also cold. Their old fashioned pure cane sugar soda was not a big hit with me either. I tried the root beer and thought it was flat and not creamy or sweet enough. I guess I'm not opposed to the high fructose corn syrup you find in most soft drinks nowadays if it means more flavor, so add that baby in there! My suggestion is you stick with the savory and pass on the sweet. read more

The list just keeps adding up....another place I'll have to visit every time I'm in SoCal. I've had waffle sandwiches before, but nothing like these...with fancy fix-ins and perfectly made waffles. Bruxie sets the bar high with gourmet waffle sandwiches. As if a world-renowned chef was in the back creating these deluxe waffle masterpieces. As I was sitting in their patio, watching the line develop into DMV status... I was thinking of how quick we got our food, I was thinking of how drenched we were getting by their full-blast mist, I was thinking of how lucky we were earlier when the line was shorter, And I couldn't stop savoring every bite of my pastrami and egg waffle sandwich. Then I couldn't believe how wonderful their Buttermilk Fried Chicken and waffle was with their chili honey. Then I started thinking that I shouldn't have shared any of these. I was thinking of why we don't have a Bruxie in the Bay Area. Towards the end, I was thinking of all their sweet waffles after enjoying a bite of the Liege waffle. I was thinking of their seasonal Creme Brulee waffle, hoping it will be there on my next visit. It was finally time to leave. My last thought was to order a few different waffles to go, for later. Then, I looked at the line again. *sad face* As I was walking away, I started thinking of how soon I'll come back for their Prosciutto and Gruyere waffle, the Bruxie burger, and Pulled Pork Special. Till now, I can't get them off my mind. read more

@bruxiewaffles! My oh my - gourmet waffle sandwiches! Savory or Sweet? I am a fan! After watching Wicked @ the Segerstrom Center for the Arts (see last review), my friends and I headed here for a post Wicked meal. It was a rainy day and Bruxie only has outdoor seating. Luckily the rain didn't scare us away or we would of missed out in super yummy treats :) Since it was raining, there was no line when we came. I found out later that this is a rare occurence at Bruxie because usually there is a super line. When we got there, we were warmly greated by one of the guys working there. He asked if we had been there before and he told us to ask any questions we had on any of the food because he had tried out everything on the menu. The menu has an area for the savory (the meat/cheese type of waffle sandwiches) and the savory (the dessert type of waffle sandwiches). They also have belgium originals or more traditional type of waffles with sugar and syrup on top. The guy working there said the most popular item on the menu was the buttermilk fried chicken and waffle. He also said that one of the specials - Guinness Braised Short Ribs was a popular item and was usually one that would be out by noon but since it was raining, they still had some available. I ended up choosing the buttermilk fried chicken and waffles. I ordered it to go and so the syrup came separate. I was told that usually they put the syrup in the sandwich to give a full flavor. I was actually glad to have the syrup separate. It was my first time to have chicken and waffles anywhere and so I wasn't sure what to expect. I liked it a lot but the syrup for me was definitely more for the waffle than for the chicken. Hmm I still find it so unique to have any type of meat inside waffles but the chicken mixed well with the waffle. I am curious to try other stuff like the burger that they have :) My friends and I also tried dessert here. Ahh if anything, I would definitely recommend saving room for dessert. The dessert waffle sandwich is well worth a try. I got the special strawberry creme brulee! So sweet! So delicious! I liked the creme brulee that was spread in. The strawberries were ok but realy just an additional touch. It was really the creme brulee that made the sandwich. Lastly, I got a side of Belgian mocha, one of their speciality drinks. It was a nice hot drink for a rainy day. More chocolate flavor in it however than mocha. I actually hope that if I come here again that it will not be raining because it looks like they have some cool treats. They have a frozen custard dessert that sounds delicious. They also have shakes and floats that sound good too! I liked Bruxie a lot! My one wish is that they would do half waffle sandwiches. How awesome would it be if one could get a half savory waffle and a half sweet waffle. read more

Amazing waffle sandwiches!! We got the Stacked Hot Pastrami and Gruyere, and added waffle fries and a drink for $2.95 (Might as well make it a combo. The fries are $2.95 anyway, so you might as well get the drink that's included in a combo!) We had their strawberry lemonade, which was pretty awesome :) The ambiance is very casual and relaxed. You order at the window, give them your name and take a seat so that they can bring the food to you when it's ready. The food came out in 5-10 minutes but the wait is worth it because it's fresh. They have water and condiments on the side available to you, such as syrup. It may sound weird to you, but when we ate the fries with syrup, it was da bomb!! read more

Nearly 15 months have passed since Bruxie's grand opening and my initial review in November 2010. Since then, Bruxie has improved their food, expanded their menu, developed the dining area, opened a second location in downtown Brea and was even listed as one Yelp's most popular restaurants of 2011. Yup, the little waffle shack by Chapman University has done pretty well for itself. RECOMMENDATIONS (ranked from most favorite to least favorite) Bruxie Burger - Angus beef patty with cheddar cheese, sliced tomatoes, pickles, mayo and crispy lettuce. Yeah, it's basically just a cheeseburger... but it's a cheeseburger in a waffle. And it works! Bacon, Egg & Cheddar - Tilamook cheddar, mayo, applewood smoked bacon. It's everything you could want in a breakfast, once again, in a waffle! Pure genius! Add ketchup or hot sauce to your liking. Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Waffle - Served with chili honey and cole slaw. I remember when they first served this, the piece of chicken was rather dinky. Not anymore. Now it's bigger, juicer and a must try. However, I still think its ridiculous to charge $1 for maple syrup. Hot Pastrami (seasonal favorite) - Boar's head pastrami, Gruyere cheese, spicy brown mustard, cider slaw and half sour pickles. I wasn't sure if this would work, but it did. Mustard was a little strong though and I prefer mine without pickles. PASS ON THESE (in no particular order): Pulled Pork (daily special) - Interesting idea, but the the pork is super bland. It could be great with BBQ sauce, but then it probably wouldn't work with the waffle at all. Lobster Salad (seasonal favorite) - Had this as a 4th of July special served with fries for $17.76. I love lobster but this was way too expensive and the lobster had absolutely no flavor. Huge miss. Smoked Salmon & Dill Cream Cheese - Herb cream cheese, cucumbers and chives. Loved the idea, but it just doesn't work on a waffle. SIDES Waffle Fries - Who doesn't love fries? Add them to your combo to save money. Irish Nachos (seasonal favorite) - Waffle fries, cheese sauce, sour cream, bacon and chives. Pretty good, but the cheese sauce could be better. DESSERT Seasonal Crème Brûlée - Classic vanilla creme with burnt raw sugar and seasonal fresh fruit (strawberries or bananas). The only sweet waffle I recommend. Frozen Custard - Soft serve Wisconsin frozen custard. It's a rich fresh ice cream enhanced with egg yolks. It's thicker, creamier and probably a lot more calories than regular ice cream. Yum! CONCLUSION The truth is that Bruxie is probably the most hyped restaurant ever. However, the hype wouldn't exist without a solid product. A lot of their sandwiches are hits, but a lot are misses too. You just have to find the Bruxie for you. read more

This is the first restaurant where am I hard to feed teenager actually gives me money to order. We're on our fourth order. She lives for the chicken tenders and angry mac & cheese. What I order the last time does not appear to be available anymore. But that's OK, the chicken and waffles are to die for.We live a block from Roscoes and I can't even be bothered.

Ah I finally get to review Bruxie. Any day can be made that much brighter with a waffle. How much more wonderful would it be filled with delicious sweet or savory yummies like bacon, fried chicken, or Nutella. Obviously rhetorical. We walked up to the adorable little window and placed our order. They have but a few tables which were all outside as there is no indoor dining area. Luckily, today was a beautiful, sunny but slightly chilly day. Ok. Ok,. Cuttin the bullsh!t. Here's what we got: fried chicken, bacon,egg and cheese, smores and fries, all waffle-ated of course. We even ordered their homemade cola. Oh and I got a frozen custard to go. The waffles are delicious on their own, light, unsweet, and crispy where they should be. My fried chicken was moist and the batter was less greasy than other fried chicken I've had. It was a tad bit bland, but was made better with a drizzle of maple. Bacon, egg and cheese, well, can't go wrong with that. It's the ultimate breakfast sandwich. Waffle fries were deelish. Homemade cola sweetened with sugar cane? What? no HFCS? It was something in between coke and pepsi, but per my date who's a cola connoisseur, it was very good, but you can tell it's neither of the two. I wish I had room to try their slurry of specialty drinks but I wanted to save room for the custard, which, unfortunately had a very outspoken milk flavor to it, wasn't a huge fan but I ate most of it. By the way, I liked how the owner would check on everyone, brought orders out, even if there technically is a pick up window. Overall, the biggest seller is the concept, and what can I say, I'm liking this concept. I'm ready for more waffle-ation. Bring it on. read more

Really sad that quality of food depends on the location you get it from. Have never had issues with the Irvine location. I ordered a fried chicken waffle (the original)...what I got instead was a stale, dry, cold patty of who knows what stuck inside a stale waffle? Seriously it was like cold rubbery chicken nuggets! Who wants that. Sadly won't ever order from this location again. read more

This is the very first Bruxie. I remember the days where they were just an awesome food shack. Now they have bathrooms and more seating. Parking could be a pain, but you could always park at the circle and walk over. As always, my favorite is the chicken and waffle, but the pastrami and short rib stands out. Don't forget to pick up a sweet option. I love the strawberry cheesecake, but that isn't there all the time. If you like really good soda, then order one of their real sugar sodas. Yum! Bruxie really gets 4.5 stars, but I'm rounding up on this one. read more

I had heard so much about this place that now that I am working in the Circle, I had to check it out. Unfortunately for me, it did not live up to the hype. I am not a fan of standing in line in front of a shack, getting H20 from a general population cooler and due to no seating (even after 1 pm), standing at a dirty spot and eating my food. Luckily I did not have to go the bathroom - because there isn't one. I wonder where the staff goes or where they wash their hands? Don't get me wrong. I like creativity with cuisine and I believe Bruxie has a unique concept. In addition, the servers are super friendly and will take your order beforehand. However, why don't they put the order in with the preparer vs simply giving you your ticket and you still wait in line and give the cashier the ticket when you pay? I ordered the pastrami and gruyere cheese sandwich (pic), and by the looks of the pic Bruxie is sticking its tongue at me saying, "SUCKA" ;P for coming here and paying $7.95 (the pickles look like a tongue sticking out-lol). The sandwich was nothing special. Yes, it has Boars Head meat. However, there was not much meat and there was grease drippinng out of the sandwich. I was not impressed at all. My rating is 2.5 stars, because "like a sucka", I will come back and try their signature burger. I also heard that the pulled pork is good. Bruxie, unlike a bad date, I will give you a second chance. read more

I went *crunch crunch* and *munch munch* on their caramel and sweetness. So fluffy.. So wuffly.. so creamy.. and cloudy.. and heavenly and I could go on... They have nutella on it..caramel..and ICE CREAM! Ahhh. So amazing. And they have fries! And fried chicken waffles! Food heaven! GET IN MY BELLY BRUXIEEEE!

I want to like you - but you won't let me. So I won't like you. So my last review dealt with a gross sanitary issue - this does as well. My friend saw the huge line and asked about it - after I gave the rundown he wanted to check it out. We ordered and while waiting for our food, I happened to catch the runner rubbing his fingers all over the plastic forks he was about to put into an order (see posted picture). Then I watched the runner put the forks in the Irish nachos and delivery them to a table. My line stands from my previous review - I understand this goes on at many other places and we just don't see it because it's hidden in the back. That being said, since there is no back, Bruxie needs to make a better effort with controlling these types of issues. I'll bet if people stopped looking at the menu and just watched the food runners, they'd see the same thing that I saw. Aside from that, the food was good. I wouldn't rave about it or go out of my way for it, but it was good. The fried chicken had a good flavor and their waffle fries are always tasty. I really don't think I'll be back - it's just getting too nasty. read more

Bruxie was so good, it took me back here immediately after I dropped off my friends. Instead of taking me home, it lead me back to Bruxie! (touch screen error :-( haha! I wanted to come here forever! I wanted to see what all the hype was! Was it worth the hype?? Yes, depends on what you ordered and who you are with. It's a small place where you ordered (and let me tell you, that line was ridiculous long!!) to eat there, very limited outdoors sitting. It's on the same street as Chapman University along with all the residential houses besides it. So after about 15 minutes studying the menu and looking around what people are having, we decided to order the Buttermilk fried chicken and Waffle- Delicious! The pastrami! - Way too greasy and the mix of the waffle and the pastrami is not a good mix. For dessert, we shared the Creme Brule- which I thought was the best. Classic Vanilla Créme with Burnt Raw Sugar and Strawberries. The Burnt raw sugar made it amazing! Give it a try! I think everyone should try Bruxie at least once in their lifetime! :-) read more
