I walked out after 10 minutes when my waitress never returned after initial drink service... long waits are one thing, but all the other waitresses were looking at me, passing me by, making eye contact, and never saying a word or getting my waitress even when I motioned to them. I asked to talk to the manager, who seemed equally young and clueless as the waitresses, so I left at that point. (She wasn't even certain that she was the manager - if she were a little more "in charge", perhaps I would have stayed.) Not worth it... just pass by Emporia or eat at Applebee's.
Review Source:My dad brought me here for his high school reunion of sorts. Near death, and hard of hearing those codgers gave that poor waitress a run for her money. But she got everything right and was totally professional the whole time. Food was good, salads fresh, and the meat cooked the way everyone wanted. The price was reasonable. Apparently this place is a sports bar? Everyone was wearing purple and liked the Thundercats. I like them too.
Review Source:Where you can get a better Filet for even more money? This place is great. The burgers will make you wish other places could do as well.  Cheese fries....this place DEFINES cheese fries!! Don't pass them up. Salads - nothing spectacular, but fresh and  who cares when the main entre is this good. Service - from the multiple stops here I can only recall once when it was marginal. All other times it has bee better than average. Worth the stop when in Emporia or just passing through.
Review Source:Poppyseed and carabi dressing. Â Still craving it. I was pretty skeptical about going to this newer version of Bruffs after the original 6th Street location burnt down, but I was impressed! Â Great food for a decent price with tvs everywhere. Kim was craving their chicken fingers and swears by them; I had grilled chicken with Swiss and mushrooms, mashed potatoes, roll, and salad for $9.99. Sweet! Â
Next ESU Homecoming, I will be going back!
Don't come to a sports bar and grill in the middle of kansas and think you're going to have fantastic calamari and anything resembling a traditional healthy meal. plenty of mash potatoes and gravy if that's what you want.
Do come expecting good solid beef. While the beer selection basically went as far as boulevard, they did have stout, wheat and pale ale on tap and that works for me. Â the place looks like a warehouse from outside but once inside, there's a bevy of sports apparel lining the walls, a beer bear (wtf?) welcoming you at the entrance and plenty of TVs.
Loses a star because the appetizers were not up to par. would get a 4 otherwise. the burger i had was quality.
crappy breaded shrimp. the bourbon wings were intriguing but i was hoping they would be more smoky sweet...instead of just sweet.
