    Food and drinks took a long time to come out even though it wasn’t a busy brunch. When the food finally came out, it was cold. The waiter only brought out 2 chips & pickles for a 6 person table which was gone quickly and never refilled. We usually have a great experience at BRQ but were pretty disappointed this time.
    BRQ RestaurantResponded on 28 October 2026
    Thank you for coming back to BRQ and sharing this with us. We’re sorry we let you down this visit. The long wait, cold food, and lack of chips and pickle refills for your table fell short of the experience you should expect from us.

    Food is just acceptable. Best was the chips, pickles and carrot cake. Restaurant was not busy but it still took 5+ minutes to receive a coke every time we ordered one....that came in a tiny bottle.
    BRQ RestaurantResponded on 28 September 2026
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate your kind words about the chips, pickles, and carrot cake! We are truly sorry that your overall experience fell short of expectations and left you feeling unhappy. A 2-star rating definitely hurts because we always aim to do better. We hope that you'll give us another chance in the future.

    BRQ has EXCELLENT food! We went for Labor Day, and the service was reallllllly slow! They need to double up on servers when there is a holiday, and they offer a special menu. Just a thought.
    BRQ RestaurantResponded on 8 September 2026
    Thank you so much for the kind words about our food and for celebrating Labor Day with us! We sincerely apologize that the service was slower than expected. Your feedback is appreciated, and we’ll keep it in mind as we plan staffing for future holidays and special menus. We hope to provide you with a much smoother experience on your next visit!

    It took quite a long time to get served & then they were out of several items. It was also very dark in the restaurant.
