    Excellent meal and appetizers with friends. Burgers and appetizers are so much better at this location than they are at the Plainfield Bru location - have been surprised how much the quality varies between locations for the exact same burger and appetizers.

    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 are sorry to hear that the food was not up to par... We hope that you will give us another shot to earn those extra stars!

    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.
