BRU IS AN ODE TO OUR LOVE, THE BURGER. It’s a classic, purely American, and an icon. The hamburger is the people’s sandwich, everyman’s food.

    My first few experiences at BRU burger were great. The burgers were big and juicy, and the toppings were piled on so thick that it was almost hard to eat the burger because it was just so juicy and yummy. But today was disappointing. The burger was pretty boring. Dry. The toppings were barely there. I had to take the bun off and look to see if there was even any mayonnaise or anything on it. I’m not sure I’ll ever go back again… I wonder if they got new management? Or if the Cook just wasn’t having a good day
