  • Great for happy hour
  • Hot spot
The hamburger is a quintessential American icon, the people's sandwich, and a favorite for everyone. Paired with a beer, there's nothing better. BRU is our homage to the beloved burger. Our mission is to serve exceptional burgers made from the finest local meats, adorned with the freshest ingredients, and nestled in our freshly baked buns. Cunningham Restaurant Group launched the first BRU Burger Bar in December 2011, and today we proudly operate 14 locations across three states.

    Food was very good and service was phenomenal. All employees that we interacted with were very friendly and helpful. The entire team seemed focused on making sure that we had a pleasant experience and were well taken care of. Their burgers are unique and tasty and the fries were terrific as well. Would highly recommend if you are in Downtown Fort Wayne.

    This was my first time at Bru. The food was absolutely phenomenal. I can't recall what my burger was called, it was a one with pimento cheese on it. My wife got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. Both were excellent. The French fries were great. We got a starter of onion rings and hands down THE best onion rings I've ever had. I also ordered a cocktail, the old fashioned was good. My wife got a cocktail and she said it was just okay, but she still drink the whole thing. Absolutely, 100% will be back and probably sooner versus later.

    Paul, thank you for taking the time to leave us such an awesome review! I believe what you had was the Southern Burger. This one is fairly new to the menu, and it is by far my favorite! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed everything from the taste of the meals and beverages to the ambiance and service you received. For your wife's next cocktail, I highly recommend the Botanist Lemonade, Spicy Pomegranate Margarita, or a Strawberry Honey Mule with Angel's Envy Rye. We look forward to seeing you guys again soon!

    Food was good, but I’m not a fan of hand cut French fries. Just a personal preference, of course. Kevin, our waiter, was great! Ambiance was nice and modern, but it was uncomfortably chilly while eating. Restaurant and restroom was very clean.
    BRU Burger Bar - Fort WayneResponded on March 3, 2025
    Becky, I am thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the food! I highly recommend the onion rings for your next visit since you were not a fan of the fries. The crispy crunch of the beer battered rings is to die for! I'm glad to hear Kevin took great care of you, but I am not surprised. Our team takes great pride in ensuring a pleasant experience for each of our guests. We look forward to seeing you again soon! Deztinee Andrews | Assistant General Manager

    Great place for our Valentines date. Our service was amazing. The salad I received was amazing. The burger was pretty good, my wife said it was a little dry.

    The food was delicious. The Bru Burger and Salmon Sandwich were very tasty. They were of a generous portion and messy to eat but delicious. We also had fries and the Valencia salad. There was a generous helping of fries and a nice sized salad. Both tasted wonderful. Service was great.
