Erik RowleyJanuary 18, 2017Bru Burger is the best burger spot in Indy, and ranks among the best in the country. Get the Stilton Bleu Cheese Burger with a side of hearty Indy style Onion Rings and a Sun King Cream Ale!

Steven BarnettFebruary 25, 2015Great atmosphere, perfect for a date night or a family dinner. Some of the best burgers in Indy. The outdoor patio is perfect for people watching while enjoying local brew.
MirandaAugust 7, 2014Love their local beer selection. I have been here multiple times, yet cannot tear myself away from the turkey burger - it's fabulous! The curry and slaw combination that tops the burger really works!
Dan FinneyApril 25, 2015Get two Burger Snacks, upgrade them to the fancy burgers for a sampler. I tried the Garlic 3-cheese (fan-frikkin-tastic) and the bourbon (tasted like rubbing alcohol). Recommend the union rings!
Tyler HobbsDecember 16, 2018I've had a hard time finding anywhere that makes burgers that stack up to Bru Burger's, both in size and flavor. Decent beer selection, too. FYI: If you do want a smaller size, ask for "snack" size.
The food is outstanding! I had the Pacific Rim with a tuna patty, and the onion rings. It was absolutely delicious! Keith was our server, he was also outstanding.
I'll tell you what's up: Buttermilk chicken tenders, dip in beer cheese. Mac 'n Cheese is incredibad and I don't even like spicy. Bourbon burger, sub the horseradish havarti for sharp white cheddar.- Erik RowleyJanuary 18, 2017I'm dubbing Indianapolis as the best city in America for onion rings, maybe this is the true meaning behind the name "Circle City", they don't make them like here anywhere else.
Tyler WoodApril 5, 2014Get the burger stack instead of a full sized burger. It's only $4 compared to $10 or $11, comes in all the styles of the full price burgers and is only a bit smaller than the the full size.
Liz FayeSeptember 20, 2016Can sub a veggie burger which is super good, the dip appetizer is delicious too!
BlondEATSDecember 28, 2016BURGERSSSS. And everything else. All is yummy in this establishment. Get the BBQ nachos. Pretzels. And def a burger 🍔
This place is fantastic. The meat is local and tastes great. The fries with a trio of dipping sauces are a guilty pleasure, and the burger toppings are creative and unique without being hoity-toity.
Joe TaulbeeMarch 27, 2017Burgers are really good. There's ample variety for toppings. Ketchup is homemade and not bad, although I still prefer Heinz. Tea is good. Service is good too, although atmosphere is a bit loud.
Alex SherrillMay 19, 2018Burgers are incredible. Me and my wife love how you can choose the size of the burger you want. Makes it less expensive and still leaves us full!
Even though I love their burgers, their Gorgonberry salad could please the picky carnivore (vegetarians should ask them to leave out the bacon).- Patrick DooleyFebruary 2, 2012Ok - your on Mass Ave so you are short drive to the near east side's Pogues Run Grocer - Indys first food co-op that is open to the public with an amazing selection of organic and bulk food
Vegetarian? Try getting the nachos, minus the chicken/pork, with the black bean patty instead. Don't forget the side of house-made BBQ!
IS KLEApril 9, 2015Top five burger. Great onion rings and beer selection. Homemade ketchup, Bbq sauce and Greta chicken wings w homemade sauce.
Neelam PatelJune 16, 2015The BBQ nachos are to die for and all of their burgers are different and great especially the Bourbon and Ahi Tuna!
Hilary WelterFebruary 2, 2017You can't go wrong with your order here. I've had every burger on the menu and have never been disappointed.
The food is what makes this place. The fact that it's always packed is a testament to its amazing food. The Provençal is the bomb.
sara mae pickleJune 16, 2016one of my fav burger & beer spots. love walking off a few of the cals afterward by visiting a few of the cute little shops down the block too
AFA1976November 7, 2012Delicious burgers in a fun part of Indy. Locals tell us there may e long waits on the weekend, so plan ahead!
- Sarah McCarthyNovember 26, 2016The End Burger is the end of your search. Unless you want salad. Then the Gorgonberry Pecan is the end of your search.
- Maria AlvizJuly 6, 2018Great outside seating area, amazing selection of burgers and very kid-friendly!
Julie Newell ☕May 8, 2014The Mac and cheese is not to be missed.... Shrimp, jalapeño, & andouille sausage
Dashia LayneFebruary 21, 2012Great place!! Chev is the best bartender and the burgers, house ketchup and onion rings are yummay...love this lil place!- Jon HouserAugust 30, 2015The triple dip appetizer is absolutely amazing it's a must before your meal
Dana ParkerAugust 9, 2014Really some of the most substantial burgers in the city. Lots of meat for your buck.
JR ChambersDecember 13, 2014This is my absolute favorite spot for casual dining downtown!! I always recommend BRU! : )
William KenneyApril 30, 2013Mushroom & Swiss was to die for. Next time I'm asking for extra cheese on the BBQ Nachos!
Leslie AMarch 17, 2012Try the chili cheese fries! (love them and I hate chili) Also.. Premium hot tea options and house ketchup!!
Raghav RaoApril 5, 2013The home made Veggie Burger is authentic unlike most other places where they throw in a frozen patty inside.
StephanieSeptember 4, 2012Food and management are phenomenal...I had the veggie burger and it ROCKED....customer service was mediocre at first but the manager (Spencer) was quick to provide relief.
Theresa ThompsonJanuary 12, 2013If you're just a little hungry and don't want the whole 1/2 pound burger, you can do a "burger snack" and make it into one of the "fancy" burgers for $2.- Supreet Arora-MadanMarch 24, 2014Food was excellent. The goat cheese, pesto and pepper plate and the burger was delicious
Carrie Savage-ZimmermanDecember 19, 2015Mmm. Pricey so cannot eat here but once in a blue moon. The mini-burgers are delish.
The Country Fried Shrimp Po Boy is amazing!! Pair it with an order of onion rings and you have a perfect meal!!
- Richard SmithSeptember 20, 2012Get a stout on draft from IN's Triton Brewery with your burger. Great w/the Bacon Cheeseburger.
- The Mac & Cheese is fire. No, really, my mouth is a smoldering, spicy hell. Delicious.
- JR ChambersDecember 11, 2014Literally...EVERYTHING!! (I'm aregular,I admit...but the food and the people all rock!):-) JC

"Got the 317 burger and it was delicious. Also ordered the 6-foot Blonde pale ale to go with it. One of the best beers I've had. Perfect complement to the meal. Fries, however, were mediocre."
