    I booked Valentine's day reservations. They sat us outside in the cold. Our server came infrequently. The $18 empanadas had 2 empanadas. They upcharged me for salad dressing. The food was delicious.

    Delicious food & wonderful service! It's a great place to eat any day, but the huge slice of carrot cake makes it a very special place for birthday celebrations.
    BRQ RestaurantResponded on January 16, 2025
    Thank you so much for your kind words! That carrot cake is definitely a crowd favorite—so glad it made your day even sweeter! 😊🎂

    We were VERY Surprised. We go to BRQ fairly regularly. This is the first time our food was so-so. My wife and i had the BBQ ribs. Usually juicy and tender. But this time, her's and mine were hard as rocks and dry. Service was enjoyable and it was New Year's Eve. The restaurant was not crowded so the noise level was very low. Everything was nice as usual except for the food. Never the less, we are fans of the restaurant and will continue to eat there. Happy New Year !
    BRQ RestaurantResponded on January 1, 2025
    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, and we truly appreciate your continued support as a loyal guest at BRQ. We’re so sorry to hear that your BBQ ribs didn’t meet our usual standards on New Year’s Eve. Wishing you and your wife a Happy New Year!
