    Father’s Day Visit - Disappointed Compared to Our First Experience We visited your restaurant this past Sunday for Father’s Day, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience — especially compared to our first visit a couple of years ago, which was outstanding and left a lasting impression. This time, the quality of the food and service had noticeably declined. I ordered the brisket platter with ribs. While the brisket was flavorful and tender, the ribs were dried out. Our server brought a second set when I mentioned it, but those were also dry, so I didn’t say anything further. My husband had the salmon dinner with macaroni and cheese and broccoli. The salmon was undercooked, the mac and cheese was watery, and the broccoli was so underdone it was difficult to eat. My daughter ordered the prime rib sandwich, which came without onions and was very dry. The kids’ chicken nuggets and fries were done well, and as I mentioned, the brisket was the highlight of the meal. However, I also asked whether the potato salad was sweet or savory — the server said savory, but it arrived sweet, which was disappointing. From the beginning, our server seemed to have an attitude, though she did try to improve her tone as the meal went on. We drove over an hour to get there, hoping for the same level of quality we experienced in the past, but sadly, this visit didn’t live up to expectations. I’m writing this not to be harsh but in hopes that it helps you identify areas that need attention. We truly wanted this to be a special Father’s Day outing and were left feeling let down. We know what your restaurant is capable of from our first visit, and we hope to see that standard return.

    Brunch was delicious as always! Recommend the BRQ Benedict & an espresso martini. Allison was a great server, definitely ask for her if you are planning to dine in.

    Good food, good service. Maybe time to change some and expand the menu items. Or maybe we eat there too often (???)

    Delicious food and drinks. Mammoth portions so come hungry! Try the mega Carrot Cake—it will feed the whole table with some to take home! Service was a bit slow but the restaurant was crowded.

    My family loved the food they ordered. I ordered the chicken fried steak and it was way too tough to eat. I politely just ate my sides was planning on that being that but the waitress noticed I hadn't eaten much of steak and asked if something was wrong I just said "it was too tough". See took the plate and let me know she would take it off the check. I will definitely go back just don't order the chicken fried steak.

    Decided to be brave try a new dish, the blackened chicken pasta. If they don't add it to their regular menu, it'll be a real shame because it was great.
    BRQ RestaurantResponded on April 21, 2025
    Thanks so much, John! Glad you gave it a try - we love that dish, too!
