Friends and I went to Bru Burger for a Great burger! The staff was very good, pleasant, and helpful. The surroundings were good and table/seating was comfortable. We enjoyed an appetizer and then the great, juicy, yummy burgers. It was a very pleasant evening and we will be back again soon.

The food was delicious but our waiter SUCkED! We were seated outside. Five minutes later a table of 7 was seated and got drinks and appetizers ordered before us. We waited for 20 minutes before saying anything. Should note that another couple that was behind us left because no one went to them either. When our waiter finally came by, he said he didn’t know he had our table! Didn’t apologize and acted like he was annoyed that he had to work. Got my drink wrong and just overall bad disposition. I asked to speak with the manger, but that didn’t happen. First time I never left a tip.

Hi Edward! I'd like to personally apologize for your visit experience with us. Unfortunately, it seems that we dropped the ball and we would like to deeply apologize. If you could please email me at brucarmel@crgdiningcom , I'd love to see how I can make things better.

Waiter was not that friendly and barely around to check on us. They messed up my husbands order but fixed it. His food was just slower coming out. Just a “blah” experience.

PERFECT low key lunch for Easter! I guess everyone else went to brunch places because it was not busy at all. Great service and delicious food.
