The Bryant Food & Drink Company

I'm neck deep in Scotch Eggs and Philly Cheese steak egg rolls... And I still have a burger on the way. I was staying down town, but it's really hard to skip Scotch Eggs... So I headed out. 15 minute drive and a full parking lot, but they walked me right in. The waitress was attentive and friendly. The food came in good time, and boy was it worth it. It was great. I'm loving the food and they even have gluten free buns for their burgers! All in all I would come back every night of the week of I could. Every bit of beef flavor was in the burger. I can go chill at the hotel now and digest this stuff.

The restaurant was full when we arrived, so we sat at the bar to have a drink while waiting for our table. I had the banana bread old-fashioned, which was quite good.We wound up being seated in about 15 minutes, which was what they had told us in advance. The service was very good. The place has a very nice upscale vibe however it is a little challenging as the servers wear blue jeans and flannel shirts since the flannel shirts don't match and the servers wear them tucked , untucked, nodded or any way they want and don't have name tags. It's a challenge to determine who really works there also no one we directed with ever in introduce themselves.We started off with the calamari that has a Aïoli to dip in it was quite good, but I really wish there were some tentacles to go with the tubes. I had the shrimp gnocchi, which was quite nice but a bit oily.Overall, I'd say it was a very nice meal and very affordable

Another excellent trip to The Bryant. The facility is still modern and well maintained. The staff is friendly, professional and great at serving the customer.On this occasion I ordered the Japanese rib entree I really liked the sweet glaze. The BBQ sauce flavoring was slightly spicy and had a nice teriyaki flavor. The meet was moist and tender with a slight amount of fat to give it more flavor.I really liked the Asian peanut slaw. The slaw was finely chopped and thin in texture. The peanut sauce gave you that traditional Thai peanut sauce flavor. Very good! No mayo type taste here. The polenta fries are a bit of an acquired taste I think. The fry is not a potato taste or texture. It is a meal that is pressed and fried. Just not my choice.

Clearly a bunch of pros. Good to very good food at reasonable prices; a really varied menu. Fantastic service (thanks, Kylie!) on a busy Friday night. Modern casual feel made everyone in our family group comfortable (well done) but wow was it loud (hard to have a conversation). The Bryant is clearly very popular (I'm so happy I made reservations) as people just kept coming and coming and coming throughout our time there. It was a good visit and a very good place to accommodate a wide-ranging group: we'll almost certainly make it a regular stop on our visits to the area.

Always enjoy this spot. I wish the salad was a little bigger, but it was very good. Shrimp appetizer always hits. Will get the meatballs next time, as they are highly recommended.

My cousin had been wanting to check this place out for a while and suggested it for his graduation lunch.Since there were 9 of us, they told us it would be an hour wait. Thankfully, we waited only about 30 minutes before we got seated! They don't do reservations, you have to walk in and put your name down. Not sure if that was typical or just because it was graduation weekend. Regardless, They were very busy so I was glad we didn't wait long.We shared a few apps: the cheesesteak egg rolls, polenta fries, bang bang shrimp, and calamari. I loved the calamari and shrimp the most! Everything was flavorful and seasoned well though! The eggrolls were unique. Not exactly my favorite for some reason. Didn't love the flavor.For our entrees, we got: the lamb burger, brisket and short rib burger, steakhouse burger, strawberry and brie burger, fried cod, the grilled chicken sandwich, vegetable soup, and shrimp pasta. Everything was delicious! I upgraded to truffle fries and loved them too!Our server was nice and made sure to check up on us a lot, making sure our waters were filled, and made good conversation with us. We sat in the outdoor patio area which was mostly covered. The inside did look pretty.Parking isn't bad as there's a ton of spots around the building.

I've been here before and had such a memorable experience that we decided to come back to celebrate my father becoming a U.S. citizen. We wanted to make this moment special, so I asked our server if there was anything they could do with dessert to help us commemorate the occasion. Unfortunately, they said no and just suggested bringing out whichever dessert we chose. I've been to other restaurants where they go the extra mile, even during busy times, so this was a bit disappointing.It was a busy day, and we were served the wrong drinks initially, but our server quickly corrected the mistake after we brought it up. My burger, while I finished it, didn't quite live up to the expectations I had from my previous visit. Sometimes, it's better to stick to what you know than try something new.Overall, the food was decent, and we had a lovely time as a family. However, after this experience, it might be a while before we return. From someone that works in customer service I know it can be hard to want to go the extra mile when it's busy, but that's what makes all the difference.

Adding yet another to my 'I frequent this place but fail to review' list... The Bryant is a go-to for my bride and I for a quick drink and meal stop around W LAF when we want to be headed home and away from downtown LAF and/or campus. This item absolutely rocks (for this espoused rib snob...). I do ribs so well myself (and a few other items as well) that I struggle to order them as I have a quite high bar on these items. I simply asked out server/bartender IF this rib-snob would want these and her eyes lit-up That's always my test so I happily went forward. My first test of great ribs is pulling bones clean out and keeping clean hands... As you can see, that's a clean bone - score!!! The glaze was amazing but did impede very clean fingers... I'll live with that as it was worth it. The polenta fries were also AMAZING!!! Offer them as an app please Slaw was great as well. My only ask? - add a deeper LOCAL beer list! We have so many great local breweries, and with only a lager and Irish ale as you offerings (didn't see any local IPA'S ) you can support the locals better...

Ambiance was really nice and modern, service was good. Food was pretty standard, heard a lot of good things going in but ended up liking the appetizers a little bit more than the entrees.

We ordered carryout mid-afternoon, and our food was hot and delicious, and ready for pickup on time. All of us enjoyed our meals, from salad to chorizo burger to fried chicken sandwich to spaghetti and meatballs. We will definitely return in the future, hopefully for an in-restaurant meal.
