Had some brunch over here about a week ago and really enjoyed it! The Cinnamon rolls are delicious, I had the biscuits and gravy which were killer, and everybody else was really happy with what they got. Cool atmosphere, busy place. I recommend setting up a reservation during peak hours!

Went here from an Instagram post for Brunch. Was a great experience. Got the unlimited Mimosa. 18.00. Our server was great. Have good recommendations! I went with the chicken and waffles and he was right the chicken was good! The other dish was the Skillet .The place was active and busy. Looks like they had a great bar scene. Seemed like everyone knew each other. There is also an outside "Garden" area with a slightly smaller menu. Also had a good bar and TVs outdoors. Will definetly be back to experience!

My group of 6 family members all loved Bru Grill & Market's Brunch, on Sunday, Aug. 9th, 2026.
Bru serves Brunch: a tasty & wide ranging menu of food, every Saturday & Sunday. I'd advise getting reservations, because the 2 indoor dining rooms, in this large restaurant were packed, when we arrived, at 12:30pm.
It was a scorcher outside-91 degrees, when we pulled up to the parking lot, right in front of the restaurant. My partner & I noticed 1 brave couple, who were sitting in a small outdoor patio, just right of the front doors to Bru Grill & Market.
To the left & up a large staircase, was a huge & very nice outdoor patio, with wrought iron gates, marking the front of it. We noticed families, at 2 different times, climbing these stairs & peeking through the gates, of this nice outdoor space. This large patio is dog friendly, but today, it was closed- I'm guessing, due to the heat.
When you enter the front doors, of Bru Grill & Market, you'll notice the host/hostess station, just inside, front & center. This fairly small front room also contains food-themed items, like Whistle Pig Syrup, Bru Coffee Mugs, & so much more, on shelves to the right & left of where you check in.
They called our name, to be seated, for Brunch, about 10 min. later than our reservation, but this was no big deal, as I was enjoying chatting with my nephews, whom I hadn't seen in quite awhile.
We'd requested a low table, so the host walked us through the large front room, which had many high-top tables, and people galore, talking, eating & having fun.
We continued to the back room, which was soothingly cool-even a bit cooler than the high-top room. We were seated at a table that had booth-type seating on 1 side & comfy chairs on the other. The host then provided us with menus & told us our server would arrive shortly.
That he did! Our server was personable, funny, & so good at his job. He explained the Menu, took our drink orders, & then brought them to us, rather quickly. I ordered the Bottomless Champagne, which was $18. It was truly bottomless, as whenever my Champagne flute was low, our server was right there-Johnny On The Spot, refilling it.
There's a wide array of meal choices on Bru's
Brunch menu, & our group tried some of these entrees. Chicken & Waffles, Cheeseburger With Wedge Potatoes, 2 orders of their Eggs Benedict,
and I ordered the Short Rib Hash Skillet.
We conversed & slowly worked on our drinks until the food came out. Even though our dining room was completely full of patrons, the noise in the room was such, that none of us had trouble hearing the other's stories, so it was a perfect family meet-up place.
All the food entrees looked huge, and beautiful.
Everyone at our table loved their food. My
Short Rib Hash Skillet tasted good, with nice amounts of Short Rib chunks, mixed within mostly fried potatoes. It could've been improved, by including more bell pepper & onion bits, plus my dish would've been elevated, by including a wine sauce, or other type of sauce, or perhaps gravy slathered on the meat & potatoes. All-in-all, I thought my dish was just too dry.
The service at Bru Grill & Market was spectacular though, and our group wanted for absolutely nothing, during the entirety of our stay.
Great experience! I loved Bru Grill & Market

Had a very enjoyable meal at Bru last night. Everything much better than I had anticipated atmosphere very cozy, service on point and on time. Food was served very nicely and presented very beautiful..
Jared, the Server was extremely friendly. I had to return this morning to reclaim my credit card which I had accidentally left behind. Camden, the hostess and Wes were extremely friendly. I was surprised to see Wes there this morning because he was there last night when I checked in he must be a hard and dedicated worker! Always nice to see that kind of commitment in the food service industry 🙂

We attended a 50th birthday party on their covered patio. It was perfect, light breeze helped as it was a very warm day. The owner, Todd, was great as was his entire team. We had several dishes to choose from as a buffet: Cesar salad, hot spinach & artichoke & cheese dip with fresh tortilla chips, mac & cheese, cut sausages, beef sliders, mushroom sliders, & fresh cut watermelon. It was all very good, and when the supply was running low, they re-supplied all. So much so, that there take home boxes available. I can highly recommend Bru.
