The hamburger is over 100 years old. It’s a classic, purely American, and an icon. The hamburger is the people’s sandwich, everyman’s food. BRU is an ode to our love... the Burger.

Took about 5 minutes to be acknowledged at the door. Once seated the waitress was attentive. Food was good, but the menu has downsized from past visits. They were out of preferred beverage so just had water
