We checked out Bru Burger Bar when traveling around Indianapolis on a business trip. We really enjoyed most of the food, it has a good atmosphere and really nice service. All of the food looked great, but the chicken tenders mainly tasted like breading. It was hard to taste any chicken. We enjoyed our other food tho. The prices are on the higher side for the type of food and quantity. And parking can be hard to find. We were there for lunch during the week and it wasn't busy.

This place is beautiful and the food was absolutely delicious. 5⭐ Food 5⭐ Flavor 5⭐ Presentation 5⭐ Atmosphere 4.5⭐ Service (I didnt gett offered a refill, but I also could have just asked for one and I'm sure she would have got it. I chose not to ask bc I was already absolutely stuffed from eating just half my meal) Overall it was an almost perfect lunch experience

I went solo to treat myself to a birthday dinner, so I had a bit of trepidation. However, the overall atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. The wait time was about 1 minute, and I was escorted to my table. My server arrived in 2 minutes or thereabout, greeted me, and took my drink and dinner orders. I tried the "Michelle in Manhattan" drink and their double bacon burger. The menu was a la carte, so I opted to add French fries as well. The food was delicious. There were several people (on staff) who checked on me at intervals, and I appreciated that. Service was top tier, and I highly recommend this restaurant. Will probably be back during the holidays.

Drink menu needs more variety! Burgers and onion rings are lovely! The only thing I would change is, I would allow the bartender freedom to put a spin and personality with the drinks!. House ketchup is something to remember, in a good way. Every employee were extremely pleasant to interact with. Special sauce could be better. Overall, great experience!

We had a great experience on Saturday night at Bru Burger! We had a wonderful server who was very attentive. She explained that she wasn't 21 yet and didn't have any recommendations for alcoholic beverages, but she was able to tell us which ones were most popular and we were impressed with them. Was a little overpriced, but the food, drinks, and service make up for it!

I stumbled on this place on my search for a quick lunch. This is NOT a quick lunch place! I ordered their 'special'- a pulled pork BBQ sandwich with onion straws and coleslaw. It was a great flavour combination that was well cooked. The portion size was "just right" for a lunch bite (you don't want a meal too heavy before returning to work, right?). The server recommended the fries which were AWESOME!!! If you are need a non-alcoholic beverage to accompany your meal, try their ginger beer... I regret not ordering one to go. I intend to eat at this restaurant again and try one of their signature burgers. I will update my review then.

I went to Bru Burger for lunch today. I actually had a really good experience there. I wasn't expecting much, since I didn't have a good one at the Mass Ave location. However, they exceeded my expectations! The service, food, and portions were on point! I had the Stilton blue cheese burger by the way. So good! Also, shout out to my waitress Kinsey. You were great!
