    Booked a table for Friday 7pm, peak hours! Took longer than expected to be spoken to, getting food however the staff was so friendly and kind. The food was super tasty. Started off with the BBQ meatball and it was full of flavor. I had the salmon dinner with green beans and Brussels spouts. 10/10! I specifically asked the waiter to make the salmon crispyyy and he did not disappoint. The salmon came out just as I desired. The veggies were also cooked perfectly, not soggy and not rock hard! For dessert, a delicious caramel brûlée banana bread pudding. (1000/1000), I’m still thinking about this the next day. The amount of people in the restaurant speaks to the quality of food here, I will definitely be returning !

    Thank you so much for the glowing review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your dinner — especially the BBQ meatball, crispy salmon, and that unforgettable banana bread pudding (we’re pretty obsessed with it too!). We also appreciate your patience during the Friday night rush — your kind words about our staff mean a lot, and we're glad they helped make your experience a great one!

    BRQ is one restaurant we always keep in the rotation but this visit wasn’t quite up to their usual standards. My wife’s chicken sandwich wasn’t seasoned and my pastrami grilled cheese was barely warm. Service wasn’t bad but was very slow. Hopefully this was just a one-off and not a new norm. We will be back and hopefully BRQ will be back to its usual standards.
    BRQ RestaurantResponded on July 7, 2025
    Thanks for the honest feedback, Ken. We’re sorry to hear this visit missed the mark. We truly appreciate your continued support and are taking your comments to heart. We hope to exceed expectations on your next visit and show you the BRQ experience you know and love.

    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.

    Hi Vanessa, thanks for coming and sharing your experience with us. We're sorry to hear that your experience was anything less than exceptional. We will share this with the team and discuss ways to improve. We hope you'll give us another try!

    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 (???)
