BRU Burger Bar - Cincinnati

Great atmosphere and excellent service. Food wise, it's ok. The French fires are perfect. The burgers are saltier than I would prefer. Despite being too salty, the burgers are cooked perfectly. This is a great place to dine downtown when you want a casual dinner.

We had a great experience from start to finish. We were here for a seminar/conference So they had a good lunch rush all at once. We were seated quickly, greeted quickly with the best service by Eddie S. & we all thoroughly enjoyed our burgers & onion rings. Definitely a good spot for lunch or dinner. My cousin & I split a burger & at the end they easily split the cost on the ticket which was really convenient. I was pleasantly surprised by our experience today & will definitely go back.

We had eaten at BRU Burger Bar in Montgomery and had a delicious meal. We were seeing a show downtown and decided to stop here for a bite before curtain call. We were heading to the Taft, but the place was packed with folks going to the Aronoff, which is literally steps away. I don't think we noticed they had a burger of the month before, but they did and we went for it - Brie Cheese, Capicola, Cranberry Compote, Black Pepper Mayo and Crispy Onion Straws. It was good, though we both agreed the capitol should have been cooked to more of a crisp. We found it a bit chewy and a little hard to swallow. Still, the flavor was great. I ordered fries, which were addictive in their, what I believe is, house made ketchup. Mark ordered chili cheese fries and enjoyed them. Just a note - I think fries, regular ol' fries, should be included in the price of the burger. I ordered a Pear Cosmo because I couldn't help but think of it as a Perry Como. It was not outstanding, but it was good.Generally, BRU Burger Bar is consistent and solid food.

The Black and Bleu Bison burger is on point. At my request, it was cooked to a perfect medium. The fries were hot, rustic and crispy. There is a good selection of microbrews on tap.One slight negative:Please quit touting your "house ketchup". It's a concoction that is way too sweet, fruity and has a weird aftertaste. As a matter of fact, I have yet to have any house ketchup that is as good as the old reliable, Heinz. Anyway, not a deal breaker by any stretch.

During my brief time in Cincinnati, I searched for the best burger I could find. Bru Burger Bar was at the top of the list. I ended up getting the Mexicali burger with queso on the side. Unfortunately fries do not come with the burger, but I ordered a side of fries. The burger was downright delicious. If you ever do a takeout order, make sure they add ketchup. They have their own homemade ketchup.

Incredible burgers as always, then provencial burger is always a great choice. Came here for cincy chili week and my friend loved the chili fries. Great vibe on a Thursday night, pretty empty in there around 8pm. Our waitress was hilarious!!! One of my favs in cincy.

Friendly and prompt service at Bru. I appreciate that they are open on Mondays since a lot of other area restaurants are closed on Mondays. Always inviting and friendly -- I like the funky high top tables the most. As for food & drink: let me start by saying I am not a burger person. So I ordered the Sriracha Caesar salad: I am so pleased (and surprised) that a burger joint has an awesome salad! I took a leap of faith the first time I ordered it and I haven't ordered anything else since discovering that it's so tasty! Also- thanks for having some wine too!

Everything was pretty mediocre - not bad, not great. I had the turkey burger but I replaced it with a lamb burger, and we shared the fries. The curry mayo however is a must - it was amazing. I also had the partridge in a pear tree to drink and it was also meh.

Food: Good flavors, generous portions. Even the Snack Burger was large enough for a very filling lunch when paired with the fries and some unique ketchup/salsa sauce on the side.Service: friendly but slow. We came in for lunch and it took a good 40 minutes between ordering and receiving our food which kind of blew out timing out of the water. Bartender was very friendly and attentive. Environment: pleasant, dark paint with fashionable lights, big windows, and reasonable noise.

Came here on the recommendation of a few colleagues.The restaurant is large and open, not loud, nicely decorated and plenty of outdoor seating.Service was immediate, polite and friendly, no issues at all. My server, McKenzie , was very pleasant.I ordered the mushroom Swiss burger with chili-cheese fries. The burger was good, nothing to rave about, but correctly cooked and tasty. For $15 there are better burgers in town, but it was fine. The chili-cheese fries were excellent! The fries were crisp and the chili really tasty.I would eat here again, but I believe next time I'd order the patty melt.
