    I chose BRU Burger for a birthday dinner for a friend. We’re all in our 70’s and one is over 80. I probably should have chosen someplace quieter. Everyone enjoyed the food and our waiter was good and patient with our “seniorness”. 😉

    It might have been due to Devoir Indy, but it took about 40-45 minute before food arrived. Floors were with food droppings throughout on carpet with no one that rolled carpet cleaner the 1.5 hour time. Workers seemed scarce and overwhelmed with their workload but likely again due to DI. Salad came together with meal unfortunately. Ceasar salad was not “true” Ceasar but more like a chop salad with a lot of thin shaved (like purchased from pre bagged in grocery) string cheese. Burgers were great! Wish we were not able to give a better score overall.

    We had the worst server. We waited 1 hour for our food and it came out completely wrong. I had to ask 2 different servers to get our server. He didn’t care enough to come out and check on us. I finally had to go to the front and ask for a manager. While waiting, the server finally came over and proceeded to stick his fingers in my food!!!! 100% disgusting. I gave my food to the manager and she took it off our bill. We won’t ever eat there again. Nasty.

    We always love Bru. It was easy to get a reservation today and food and service were as usual great. I got my favorite burger, the Provençal. Hubby got the Gorgonzola pecan salad with grilled chicken. The only sad thing is they have removed sweet potato fries from the menu. Otherwise happy as usual and will be back.

    The hostess did not listen to what we asked for, the waiter did not listen to our drink order, and the amount of wait for said service as uncomfortable. This being said, the quality of the salad and the entree - both temperature and taste were superb. Cunningham always does a quality job. Time will tell if we come back.

    Food was smaller and not as good as I remembered or expected. I can get a better burger for half the price at a lot of other places. Server was great and ambiance is nice, but I won't be back.

    Bru Burger never disappoints. The food was excellent (the restaurant was jam-packed) and the service was very smooth and efficient.
