Bruxie Menu 2026: Waffle Sandwiches, Fried Chicken & More

Bruxie is a California fast-casual restaurant concept founded in 2010 in Old Towne Orange, CA. It's best known for using light, crispy Belgian-style waffles as sandwich bread — a format the brand pioneered in the U.S. fast-casual segment. The menu centers on fried chicken, pulled pork, and creative sweet and savory waffle sandwiches.

Bruxie's most popular item is the Original Fried Chicken Waffle Sandwich — hand-battered, pressure-fried chicken breast inside a golden Belgian waffle. It's the item the brand was founded on and remains the signature order. The Nashville Hot Chicken Waffle Sandwich and the Nutella & Strawberry Waffle are also frequently mentioned fan favorites.

Bruxie's Belgian-style waffles are made to be neutral in flavor — light, crispy, and slightly buttery, so they work as a bread substitute for both savory fillings (fried chicken, pulled pork, bacon and egg) and sweet ones (Nutella and strawberry, cinnamon sugar, ice cream). The waffle itself is not heavily sweetened, which is what lets it function as a handheld sandwich vessel.

Bruxie offers breakfast-style waffle sandwiches — including the Bacon, Egg & Cheese Waffle Sandwich — that are generally available throughout the day at most locations. Hours and all-day breakfast availability vary by location, so confirm with your specific Bruxie store.

Bruxie operates primarily in California, with the original location in Old Towne Orange, CA. The brand has also expanded through franchising and non-traditional venues (airports, stadiums). Use the store locator on bruxie.com for the most up-to-date list of open locations and hours.

Yes. Several Bruxie items are vegetarian-friendly, including the Nutella & Strawberry Waffle Sandwich, the Cinnamon Sugar Waffle, the Ice Cream Waffle Sandwich, and most side items (Waffle Fries, Truffle Parmesan Waffle Fries, Coleslaw, Side Salad). The Bacon, Egg & Cheese Waffle can sometimes be ordered without bacon. Confirm with your location for current options and allergen details.

Bruxie is positioned as a fast-casual restaurant — expect pricing in the $$ range, typically higher than fast food but comparable to other craft fast-casual concepts. Individual waffle sandwiches generally fall in the $10–$14 range at most California locations, with sides adding a few dollars. Prices vary by location and are not published in a nationally standardized format, so check your local Bruxie or the app for current pricing before visiting.

Bruxie's Belgian waffles contain gluten (wheat flour). As of our last review, Bruxie does not offer a certified gluten-free waffle option. Guests with gluten sensitivities should contact their local Bruxie directly and review the current allergen information on the official website before ordering.

Traditional chicken-and-waffles (popularized in Southern and soul food traditions) is a plate dish — a flat waffle served alongside fried chicken, often with syrup. Bruxie's approach is a hand-held waffle sandwich: the waffle replaces bread, the fillings are tucked inside, and the whole thing is meant to be eaten on the go. The waffle is also lighter and crispier than a traditional Belgian brunch waffle, engineered for portability rather than a sit-down breakfast experience.
